SEC filingQ1 delivered revenue growth of 21.4% to $109.2M and first-time operating income of $1.3M, driven by wholesale momentum amid DTC channel shifts to third-party marketplaces and disciplined cost management despite inflationary pressures.
Revenue grew 21.4% year-over-year to $109.2 million in Q1 FY2026, powered by wholesale channel momentum that compensated for direct-to-consumer headwinds. The decrease in subscription and non-subscription revenue stemmed from a shift in customer purchasing behavior toward third-party digital marketplaces, indicating channel mix changes rather than underlying demand weakness. Outpost channel revenue shows signs of stabilization, as management focuses on improving transaction volumes and average order values via customer retention programs and tailored product offerings. This topline acceleration underscores the resilience of wholesale distribution amid evolving consumer habits.
Gross profit increased 11.1% to $36.1 million, but gross margin declined to 33.0% primarily attributable to higher costs driven by inflation. This pressure reflects broader supply chain challenges, where the ability to source inventory from diverse suppliers and co-manufacturers will be critical to managing future demand and cost volatility. Operating income marked a significant turnaround to $1.3 million profit from a $5.4 million loss, achieving a 1.2% operating margin. This improvement resulted from disciplined expense management, including a decrease in marketing costs due to better allocation of resources—reduced spending on media, in-store marketing, and agency fees—while maintaining focus on measuring performance, customer acquisition costs, and marketing returns.
