Lulus Reports Record Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results

CHICO, Calif., December 14, 2021 -- Lulu’s Fashion Lounge Holdings, Inc. (“Lulus”) (Nasdaq: LVLU) today reported financial results for the quarter ended October 3, 2021.

Third Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights:

● Net revenue of $106.3 million, an increase of 95% compared to the prior year period

● Net income of $2.3 million, an increase of 921% compared to the prior year period

● Adjusted EBITDA of $11.9 million, an increase of 126% compared to the prior year period and Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 11.2%, a 16% increase compared to the prior year period

● Earnings per share of $0.13, an increase from $0.01 compared to the prior year period

Third Quarter 2021 Business Highlights:

● Average Order Value (“AOV”) of $125, compared to the prior year period of $103

● Last Twelve Months Active Customers of 2.5 million, compared to the prior year period of 2.3 million

David McCreight, CEO of Lulus, said:

“We are very pleased with our strong third quarter results for our first quarterly reporting as a public company. We delivered record Q3 2021 sales with a 95% increase in net revenue compared to Q3 2020, and 16% compared to Q3 2019. Despite uncertainty caused by the pandemic and related global supply chain pressures, our third quarter results highlight the effectiveness of our business model and team, and give us confidence in continued growth and momentum. The LuCrew’s focus on providing a compelling brand experience led to continued growth in new customers acquired with all time high AOVs for both new and repeat customers.”

Balance Sheet

● Our cash and cash equivalents amounted to $40.9 million as of October 3, 2021, an increase of 163% compared to January 3, 2021.

● Our cash from operating activities amounted to $41.8 million for the nine months ended October 3, 2021, an increase of 97% compared to the prior year period.

● We completed our IPO on November 15, 2021 and received net proceeds of $85.6 million. We used the proceeds from our IPO, together with $25 million in borrowings under our new revolving credit facility, to repay amounts outstanding under our term loan.

Financial Outlook

● For the full year 2021, we expect net revenue between $370 million and $372 million.

● Adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2021 is expected to be between $38 million and $39 million, which represents growth of 101% and 106% over 2020. This equates to an expected Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 10.3% and 10.5%, as compared to 7.6% in 2020.

● As a result of paying down our long-term debt following the IPO, we expect reported interest expense for Q4 2021 to be $4 million, which includes the amortization and write-off of loan fees. However, excluding the impact of the non-recurring amortization and write-off of loan fees, interest expense for Q4 2021 is expected to be approximately $1.4 million versus $3.5 million in Q4 2020.  We expect that the impact of non-recurring amortization and write-off of loan fees captured in interest expense for Q4 2021 will be $2.6 million.

● We plan to make capital investments in a third logistics facility starting in Q4 2021.

● We expect capital expenditures of $3.5 million for the full year 2021.

Lulus’ outlook is based on current indications for its business, which are subject to change. The net sales outlook factors in anticipated headwinds resulting from unknown future impacts related to COVID-19.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Operating Metrics

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (GAAP), we reference in this press release and the accompanying tables the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and our non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. Our management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity by excluding certain expenses that may not be indicative of our ongoing core operating performance. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when analyzing historical performance

and liquidity and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures, please see the tables captioned “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” included at the end of this release. Definitions of our non-GAAP financial measures and other operating metrics are presented below. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA guidance to net loss in a forward-looking basis cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts, as we are unable to provide reconciling information with respect to equity-based compensation expense and income tax, all of which are adjustments to Adjusted EBITDA.

Gross Margin

We define Gross Margin as gross profit as a percentage of our net revenue. Gross profit is equal to our net revenue less cost of revenue. Certain of our competitors and other retailers report cost of revenue differently than we do. As a result, the reporting of our gross profit and Gross Margin may not be comparable to other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude the effects of equity-based compensation expense, management fees, and transaction fees. Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure used by management to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis and, in the case of exclusion of the impact of equity-based compensation, excludes an item that we do not consider to be indicative of our core operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin

Adjusted EBITDA Margin is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as Adjusted EBITDA (as defined above) as a percentage of our net revenue.

Active Customers

We define Active Customers as the number of customers who have made at least one purchase across our platform in the prior 12-month period. We consider the number of Active Customers to be a key performance metric on the basis that it is directly related to consumer awareness of our brand, our ability to attract visitors to our digital platform, and our ability to convert visitors to paying customers.

Average Order Value

We define Average Order Value (“AOV”) as the sum of the total gross sales before returns across our platform in a given period, plus shipping revenue, less discounts and markdowns, divided by the Total Orders Placed in that period. AOV reflects the average basket size of our customers. AOV may fluctuate as we continue investing in the development and introduction of new Lulus merchandise and as a result of our promotional discount activity.

Total Orders Placed

We define Total Orders Placed as the number of customer orders placed across our platform during a particular period. An order is counted on the day the customer places the order. We do not adjust the number of Total Orders Placed for any cancellation or return that may have occurred subsequent to a customer placing an order. We consider Total Orders Placed as a key performance metric on the basis that it is directly related to our ability to attract and retain customers as well as drive purchase frequency. Total Orders Placed, together with Average Order Value, is an indicator of the net revenue we expect to generate in a particular period.
