SEC filingRevenue grew 5.0% with operating income turning positive; margins improved on cost controls and higher average order value.
In Q2 2025, Wayfair's net revenue increased 5.0% YoY to $3.27B, driven primarily by a higher average order value ($328 vs $313) reflecting brand and consumer mix shifts. Gross margin dipped slightly to 30.1% from 30.2% due to investments in customer experience, partially offset by growth in supplier services. Operating income turned positive at $17M compared to a $(35)M loss a year ago, as total operating expenses declined 0.9% YoY to $967M. Key expense reductions were in selling, operations, technology, general and administrative (down 4.9%) and customer service and merchant fees (flat). Advertising spend rose 1.9% but declined as a percentage of revenue. Net income was $15M versus a $(42)M loss, with diluted EPS of $0.11 compared to $(0.34). Adjusted EBITDA improved 25.8% to $205M.
U.S. net revenue grew 5.3% to $2.87B, outpacing the overall company. International revenue increased 3.1% to $399M, driven by growth across remaining international markets, partially offset by the exit of the German business. On a constant currency basis, International net revenue grew 2.1%. Active customers decreased to 21M from 22M, but repeat orders accounted for 80.6% of orders, indicating strong customer loyalty.
