FIGS Releases Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Financial Results

FIGS

2022 Net Revenues Growth of 20.6% YoY, Net Income of $21.2 million, Net Income Margin of 4.2% and Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 17.2%

FIGS, Inc. (NYSE: FIGS) (the “Company”), the direct-to-consumer apparel and lifestyle brand dedicated to the healthcare community, today released its fourth quarter and full year 2022 financial results and published a financial highlights presentation on its investor relations website at ir.wearfigs.com/financials/quarterly-results/.

Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights

  • Net revenues were $144.9 million, an increase of 12.6% year over year, driven by an increase in orders from existing and new customers, partially offset by a slightly lower average order value (“AOV”) from $113 to $112.
  • Gross margin was 68.2%, a decrease of 170 basis points year over year, primarily due to a higher mix of promotional sales and product mix shift as well as higher ocean freight costs, partially offset by reduced utilization of air freight.
  • Operating expenses were $95.6 million, an increase of 29.9% year over year. As a percentage of net revenues, operating expenses increased to 66.0% from 57.2% in the prior year due to higher selling expenses related to fulfillment costs.
  • Net income was $3.4 million and diluted earnings per share was $0.02.
  • Net income margin(1) was 2.3%, as compared to 9.8% in the same period last year.
  • Net income, as adjusted(2)was $8.2 million and diluted earnings per share, as adjusted(1) was $0.05.
  • Adjusted EBITDA(2) was $19.8 million or 13.6% of net revenues, as compared to $31.9 million or 24.8% of net revenues in the same period last year.

“We delivered fourth quarter results ahead of our expectations reflecting strong holiday performance as well as growth in our non scrubwear and international businesses.” said Trina Spear, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder. “Our priorities for 2023 will be positioning our Company for long term growth while maintaining sustainable, profitable margins as we manage through an uncertain macro environment. We remain confident in our long term outlook as a result of our industry leading product innovation, community connection and advocacy. We believe we have the scale and balance sheet to take our business to the next level, making strategic, disciplined investments in our future as we aim to double our annual net revenues to $1 billion.”

Full Year 2022 Financial Highlights

  • Net revenues were $505.8 million, an increase of 20.6% year over year, primarily driven by an increase in orders and AOV.
  • Gross margin was 70.1%, a decrease of 170 basis points year over year, primarily due to a higher mix of promotional sales and, to a lesser extent, an increase in freight-in due to elevated ocean freight rates and product mix shift.
  • Operating expenses were $316.8 million, an increase of 9.1% year over year. As a percentage of net revenues, operating expenses decreased to 62.6% from 69.2% in the prior year period due to lower general and administrative expenses, partially offset by higher selling expense and marketing investment.
  • Net income was $21.2 million and diluted earnings per share was $0.11.
  • Net income margin(1) was 4.2%, as compared to (2.3)% in the same period last year.
  • Net income, as adjusted(2)was $29.2 million and diluted earnings per share, as adjusted(1) was $0.16.
  • Adjusted EBITDA(2) was $87.3 million or 17.2% of net revenues, as compared to $105.2 million or 25.1% of net revenue in the same period last year.

Full Year 2022 Key Operating Metrics

  • Active customers(3)as of December 31, 2022 increased 22.5% year over year to 2.3 million.
  • Net revenues per active customer(3)was $221, a decrease of 1.3% year over year.
  • AOV(3)was $112, an increase of 6.7% year over year primarily driven by higher units per transaction as well as an increase in average unit retail.

2023 Financial Outlook

Net Revenues

Mid-single digit growth

Adjusted EBITDA Margin(4)

11% - 12%

Daniella Turenshine, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “Our growth outlook for 2023 is not representative of the growth we believe we can achieve long term. That is why we plan to keep investing while managing our business prudently through near term macro and cost challenges. We remain a distant leader in our industry and we are confident that we can accelerate growth and deliver adjusted EBITDA margin expansion in the future.”

(1)

“Net income margin” and “adjusted EBITDA margin” are calculated by dividing net income and adjusted EBITDA by net revenues, respectively.

(2)

“Net income, as adjusted,” “diluted earnings per share, as adjusted,” “adjusted EBITDA” and “adjusted EBITDA margin” are non-GAAP financial measures. Please see the sections titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Operating Metrics” and “Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures” below for more information regarding the Company’s use of non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

(3)

“Active customers,” “net revenues per active customer” and “average order value” are key operational and business metrics that are important to understanding the Company’s performance. For information regarding how the Company calculates its key operational and business metrics, please see the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Operating Metrics.”

(4)

The Company has not provided a quantitative reconciliation of its adjusted EBITDA margin outlook to a GAAP net income margin outlook because it is unable, without making unreasonable efforts, to project certain reconciling items. These items include, but are not limited to, future stock-based compensation expense, income taxes, expenses related to non-ordinary course disputes, and transaction costs. These items are inherently variable and uncertain and depend on various factors, some of which are outside of the Company’s control or ability to predict. For more information regarding the Company’s use of non-GAAP financial measures, please see the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Operating Metrics.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Operating Metrics

In addition to the GAAP financial measures set forth in this press release, the Company has included non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K. The Company has also included “active customers,” “net revenues per active customer” and “average order value,” which are key operational and business metrics that are important to understanding Company performance. The Company calculates “active customers” as unique customer accounts that have made at least one purchase in the preceding 12-month period. The Company calculates “net revenues per active customer” as the sum of the total net revenues in the preceding 12-month period divided by the current period “active customers.” The Company calculates “average order value” as the sum of the total net revenues in a given period divided by the total orders placed in that period. Total orders are the summation of all completed individual purchase transactions in a given period.

The Company uses “net income, as adjusted,” “diluted earnings per share, as adjusted,” “adjusted EBITDA” and “adjusted EBITDA margin” to provide useful supplemental measures that assist in evaluating its ability to generate earnings, provide consistency and comparability with its past financial performance and facilitate period-to-period comparisons of its core operating results as well as the results of its peer companies. The Company calculates “net income, as adjusted,” as net income adjusted to exclude transaction costs, expenses related to non-ordinary course disputes, other than temporary impairment of held-to-maturity investments, stock-based compensation, including expense related to award modifications, accelerated performance awards and ambassador grants in connection with its initial public offering, and expense resulting from the retirement of the Company’s previous CFO, and the income tax impact of these adjustments. The Company calculates “diluted earnings per share, as adjusted” as net income, as adjusted divided by diluted shares outstanding. The Company calculates “adjusted EBITDA” as net income adjusted to exclude: other income (loss), net; gain/loss on disposal of assets; provision for income taxes; depreciation and amortization expense; stock-based compensation and related expense; transaction costs; and expenses related to non-ordinary course disputes. The Company calculates “adjusted EBITDA margin” by dividing adjusted EBITDA by net revenues.

Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included below under the heading “Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures.”
