FIGS Releases First Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Net Revenues Growth of 9.2% YoY, Net Income of $1.9 million, Net Income Margin of 1.6% and Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 13.4%
SANTA MONICA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- FIGS, Inc. (NYSE: FIGS) (the “Company”), the direct-to-consumer apparel and lifestyle brand dedicated to the healthcare community, today released its first quarter 2023 financial results and published a financial highlights presentation on its investor relations website at ir.wearfigs.com/financials/quarterly-results/.
“Our first quarter performance was better than expected and reflects progress against our key initiatives,” said Trina Spear, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder, “We remain intently focused on product innovation and connecting deeply with our healthcare community. FIGS is an iconic brand and we look forward to advancing our leadership position within the healthcare apparel industry, while driving profitable growth for the long term.”
First Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights
- Net revenues were $120.2 million, an increase of 9.2% year over year, driven by an increase in orders from existing and new customers, partially offset by lower average order value (“AOV”).
- Gross margin was 71.3%, an increase of 10 basis points year over year, primarily related to lower utilization of air freight partially offset by the impact from a higher mix of promotional sales.
- Operating expenses were $82.4 million, an increase of 27.4% year over year. As a percentage of net revenues, operating expenses increased to 68.5% from 58.7% in the prior year period primarily due to higher selling expenses related to higher fulfillment costs, including increased storage costs and, to a lesser extent, an increase in the accrual for charitable donations as well as an increase in stock-based compensation expense.
- Net income was $1.9 million and diluted earnings per share was $0.01.
- Net income margin(1) was 1.6%, as compared to 8.1% in the same period last year.
- Net income, as adjusted(2) was $2.5 million and diluted earnings per share, as adjusted(1) was $0.01.
- Adjusted EBITDA(2) was $16.1 million, a decrease of $8.9 million year over year, or 13.4% of net revenues.(2)
Key Operating Metrics
- Active customers(3) as of March 31, 2023 increased 21.8% to 2.4 million.
- Net revenues per active customer(3) was $216, a decrease of 4.4% year over year.
- AOV(3) was $114, a decrease of 1.7% year over year primarily due to a decrease in average unit retail partially offset by higher units per transaction.
Financial Outlook
For Full-Year 2023, the Company now expects:
Net Revenues Growth as Compared to 2022 |
5.5% to 7.5% |
|
|
Adjusted EBITDA Margin(1)(4) |
12% to 13% |
Daniella Turenshine, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “We are pleased with our financial results and believe that we are well positioned to drive accelerated growth once macro headwinds subside. We have a strong balance sheet and the ability to generate healthy free cash flow that we believe will enable us to effectively manage near term macro challenges while continuing to invest in our future growth.”

“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. Please see the sections titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Operating Metrics” and “Key Operating Metrics” below for information regarding how the Company calculates its key operational and business metrics and for comparisons of active customers, net revenues per active customer and average order value to the prior year period. |
(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 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.”
The Company has also included herein “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 number of active customers is an important indicator of growth as it reflects the reach of the Company’s digital platform, brand awareness and overall value proposition. The Company defines an active customer as a unique customer account that has made at least one purchase in the preceding 12-month period. In any particular period, the Company determines the number of active customers by counting the total number of customers who have made at least one purchase in the preceding 12-month period, measured from the last date of such period. The Company believes measuring net revenues per active customer is important to understanding engagement and retention of customers, and as such, the value proposition for its customer base. The Company defines net revenues per active customer as the sum of total net revenues in the preceding 12-month period divided by the current period active customers. The Company defines 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 believes the relatively high average order value demonstrates the premium nature of its products. As the Company expands into and increases its presence in additional product categories and price points as well as expand internationally, average order value may fluctuate.
Active customers as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, net revenues per active customer as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and average order value for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, are presented below under the heading “Key Operating Metrics.”
