"Our first quarter performance reflects continued progress against our strategic priorities to stabilize and strengthen the business, and position Purple for long-term success," said Rob DeMartini, CEO of Purple Innovation. "Revenue was in line with expectations, led by positive showroom growth, while continued improvement in gross margin and cost control drove Adjusted EBITDA ahead of guidance."

DeMartini continued, "As we move forward, our focus is on unlocking growth through continued innovation, including the full rollout of our Rejuvenate 2.0 collection, promoting our unique Gel Grid differentiation, and further optimizing our operations. Though the current economic environment remains uncertain, including the evolving impact of tariffs, we believe the structural improvements we have achieved, and investments we have made across innovation and partnership expansion, position us to navigate near-term pressures and deliver sustained growth over time."

First Quarter 2025 Financial Results
First quarter 2025 net revenue declined by 13.2% to $104.2 million, compared to $120.0 million in the first quarter of 2024, reflecting the impact of persistent macroeconomic challenges and reduced demand in our wholesale and ecommerce channels.

Gross profit for the first quarter decreased slightly to $41.0 million, compared to $41.7 million in the prior-year period. GAAP gross margin improved to 39.4%, an increase of 460 basis points year-over- year. Adjusted gross margin, which excludes restructuring and related charges, expanded to 40.3%, an improvement of 550 basis points year-over-year, driven by ongoing strategic sourcing efforts, production efficiencies, and the successful integration of our consolidated manufacturing operations.

Operating expenses for the first quarter were $55.5 million, down 14.4% from $64.9 million in the first quarter 2024. This improvement was primarily driven by headcount reductions from our restructuring efforts and the in-sourcing of certain functions in marketing and finance.

Net loss attributable to Purple Innovation, Inc. for the first quarter was ($19.1) million, an improvement from $(50.2) million in the prior year.
