EPS declined 48% Y/Y to $0.22, missing the consensus of $0.31.

The company stated that continued strong growth in active customers was a key driver of results, highlighted by quarterly growth of ~124,000 active customers in the quarter. Total active customers grew to 2.2 million, an increase of 39% Y/Y.

Gross margin expanded by 29 bps to 55.9%. The operating income declined by 41.5% Y/Y to $19.28 million, and the margin contracted by 776 bps to 6.7%.

Inventory was $208.5 million (+75% Y/Y) and an increase of 16% from March 31, 2022.

"We delivered these results despite macroeconomic conditions that became more challenging as the quarter progressed, creating cost pressures that impacted profitability, and also contributed to a moderating year-over-year growth trend in net sales in June that has continued into the third quarter," commented co-founder and co-CEO Mike Karanikolas.
