Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organization

The mission of Purple Innovation, Inc. (the “Company” or “Purple Inc.”) is to deliver the greatest sleep ever invented.

The Company, collectively with its subsidiary Purple Innovation, LLC (“Purple LLC”) is an omni-channel company that began as a digitally-native vertical brand founded on comfort product innovation with premium offerings, and have since expanded into brick & mortar stores as a true omni-channel brand. The Company offers a variety of innovative, branded and premium comfort products, including mattresses, pillows, cushions, bases, sheets and other products. The Company markets and sells its products through its direct-to-consumer e-commerce channels, retail brick-and-mortar wholesale partners, Purple showrooms, and third-party online retailers.

The Company was incorporated in Delaware on May 19, 2015, as a special purpose acquisition company under the name of Global Partnership Acquisition Corp (“GPAC”). On February 2, 2018, the Company consummated a transaction structured similar to a reverse recapitalization (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to which the Company acquired a portion of the equity of Purple LLC. At the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), the Company became the sole managing member of Purple LLC, and GPAC was renamed Purple Innovation, Inc.

As the sole managing member of Purple LLC, Purple Inc. through its officers and directors is responsible for all operational and administrative decision making and control of the day-to-day business affairs of Purple LLC without the approval of any other member.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Purple Inc., its controlled subsidiary Purple LLC, and Intellibed, Purple LLC’s wholly owned subsidiary, from the date of acquisition. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. As of December 31, 2024, Purple Inc. held 99.8% of the common units of Purple LLC and other Purple LLC Class B Unit holders held 0.2% of the common units in Purple LLC. The Company’s consolidated financial statements did not include consolidated statements of comprehensive income since it had no items of other comprehensive income in any of the periods presented.

Liquidity and Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. In connection with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company conducted an evaluation as to whether there were conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, which raised substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date of the issuance of such financial statements.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $24.3 million and an accumulated deficit of $625.3 million at December 31, 2025. The Company had a net loss of $51.4 million and net cash used in operating and investing activities was $33.8 million and $8.3 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company has a history of recurring net losses and cash used in operations, an accumulated deficit, and requiring additional capital to fund its operations.

The funds the Company has on hand and any follow-on capital, if needed, will be used to fund its operations and invest in the business to expand sales and marketing efforts, as well as to invest in innovation. As described below, management has implemented plans to both increase its revenues from the sales of its products and to achieve cost savings within the next year, sufficient to generate positive operating cash flow levels. However, the Company may be adversely impacted by uncertain market conditions and there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in this regard. If such plans are not successful, the Company may need to raise additional capital in order to support operations and business initiatives. Access to additional capital is uncertain and not within the control of the Company. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company has taken a number of actions to increase cash flow and support its operations and strategies. In August 2024, the Company implemented the Restructuring Plan (as defined below) to consolidate manufacturing operations resulting in cost savings. The Company has realized and plans to continue to realize direct material cost savings by concentrating efforts on driving gross margin improvement through various methods such as selective pricing actions, continued mix shift towards the Restore and Rejuvenate collections, and by driving cost savings through supply chain initiatives and manufacturing efficiency. The Company has delivered direct material cost savings from its supplier diversification efforts, improved scrap and yield results from continuous improvements, and outbound freight costs reflect cost improvements along with improved delivery reliability. The Company has been successful in subleasing the two manufacturing facilities that were vacated as part of the Restructuring Plan. The Company has also taken additional cost-saving initiatives in 2025 and the beginning of 2026 to reduce headcount and streamline responsibilities and reporting structure. Further, management’s plans include additional actions intended to improve liquidity and reduce costs, including a planned optimization of advertising spend, limiting the number of new store openings, efforts to mitigate tariff impacts by managing the country of origin, and other cost-saving initiatives. As disclosed in Note 10 -Debt, the Company has elected to have interest paid-in-kind and added to the principal amount of the loans under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and on March 24, 2026, the Company executed the Third Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) with the Lenders to extend the maturity date of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement from December 31, 2026 to April 30, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating potential strategic alternatives and opportunities to achieve additional liquidity through one or more future debt refinancings.

Additionally, in May 2025, the Company entered into an agreement with Mattress Firm, Inc. (“Mattress Firm”), a business unit of Somnigroup International, Inc. (“SGI”) to expand its inventory of the Company’s products across SGI’s national store network from approximately 5,000 mattress slots to a minimum of 12,000 mattress slots (see Note 13 —*Commitments and Contingencies, SGI Commercial Arrangements).*The Company is now represented in Mattress Firm’s full store network and with the recent launch of Purple Royale, the exclusive Luxe product for Mattress Firm, the Company has expanded to all 12,000 committed slots. The Company has also expanded into more Costco clubs in the fourth quarter of 2025.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Variable Interest Entities

Purple LLC is a variable interest entity. The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of Purple LLC as it is the sole managing member and has the power to direct the activities most significant to Purple LLC’s economic performance as well as the obligation to absorb losses and receive benefits that are potentially significant. At December 31, 2025, Purple Inc. had a 99.8% economic interest in Purple LLC and consolidated 100% of Purple LLC’s assets, liabilities and results of operations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements contained herein. The holders of Class B Units held 0.2% of the economic interest in Purple LLC as of December 31, 2025. Refer to Note 15—Stockholders’ Equityfor more information.

Use of Estimates

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to establish accounting policies and to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. The Company regularly makes estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, estimates that affect revenue recognition, accounts receivable and the allowance for credit losses, valuation of inventories, sales returns, warranty returns, impairment reviews of long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets, warrant liabilities, stock based compensation, the recognition and measurement of loss contingencies, the recognition and measurement of restructuring and related charges, estimates of current and deferred income taxes, deferred income tax valuation allowances, and amounts associated with the Company’s tax receivable agreement with InnoHold, LLC (“InnoHold”). Predicting future events is inherently an imprecise activity and, as such, requires the use of judgment. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Restructuring

Restructuring actions may result in various costs, including employee-related costs, accelerated depreciation expense, write-downs of long-lived assets and inventory, impairment of long-lived and indefinite-lived assets, contract termination costs and other associated costs. Employee-related costs represent one-time termination benefits for severance and other post-employment costs that are recognized as incurred upon communication of the plan to the identified employees. If the employee must provide future service beyond a minimum retention period, the benefits are expensed ratably over the future service period. Accelerated depreciation expense represents additional expense resulting from shortening the useful lives of production and other assets to coincide with the end of production and other activities under an approved restructuring plan. Write-downs of long-lived assets represent losses on assets expected to be disposed of or equipment in progress that will not be put in service. Costs to terminate contracts are recognized upon entering a termination agreement with the provider. Other associated restructuring costs are expensed as incurred. Any impairment or write-down of assets resulting from restructuring activities are recognized immediately in the period the related plan is approved. Refer to Note 3*–Restructuring, Impairment and Other Related Charges* for more information.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

Accounts receivable are recorded net of an allowance for expected losses and consist primarily of receivables from wholesale customers and receivables from third-party consumer financing partners and credit card processors. The allowance is recognized in an amount equal to anticipated future write-offs over the expected life of the receivables. Management estimates the allowance for credit losses based onhistorical experience, customer payment practices and current economic trends. Actual credit losses could differ from those estimates. Account balances are charged-off against the allowance when management believes it is probable the receivable will not be recovered.

The Company had the following activity in its allowance for credit losses (in thousands):

Years Ended December 31,
202520242023
Balance at beginning of period$1,100$26$1
Additions charged to expense8041,07525
Reductions to allowance, net(1,516)(1)—
Balance at end of period$388$1,100$26

Inventories

Inventories are comprised of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Manufactured inventory consists of raw material, direct labor and manufacturing overhead costs. Inventory cost is calculated using a method that approximates average cost. The Company reviews the components of its inventory on a regular basis for excess and obsolete inventory and makes appropriate adjustments when necessary. Once established, the original cost of the inventory less the related inventory reserves represents the new cost basis of such products.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of depreciation. Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, ranging from 1 to 17 years, as follows:

Years
Equipment5 - 10
Furniture and fixtures2 - 7
Office equipment3 - 5
Leasehold improvements1 - 17

Major renewals and betterments that increase value or extend useful life are capitalized. The Company records depreciation and amortization in cost of sales for long-lived assets used in the manufacturing process, and within each line item of operating expenses for all other long-lived assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the leasehold improvements or the contractual term of the lease, with consideration of lease renewal options if exercise is reasonably certain. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired is removed from the accounts with any resulting gain or loss included in the consolidated statement of operations. Estimated useful lives of property and equipment are periodically reviewed and, when appropriate, changes are made and accounted for prospectively. When certain events or changes in operating conditions occur, asset lives may be adjusted and an impairment assessment may be performed on the recoverability of the carrying amounts.

As a result of initiating closure of its two Utah manufacturing facilities in August 2024, the Company shortened the estimated useful lives of the production equipment at these two facilities to reflect the remaining period these assets will remain in service. Closure of these two facilities was completed during the first quarter of 2025. Reducing the estimated useful lives of these assets increased both depreciation expense and the Company’s net loss by $5.8 million and $11.2 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively. Refer to Note 3–Restructuring, Impairment and Other Related Charges for more information.

The Company capitalizes interest on borrowings during the active construction period of major capital projects. Interest capitalization ceases once a project is substantially complete or no longer undergoing construction activities to prepare it for its intended use. Capitalized interest is added to the cost of the underlying assets and is amortized over the useful lives of the assets. When no debt is specifically identified as being incurred in connection with a construction project, the Company capitalizes interest on amounts expended on the project using the weighted average cost of the Company’s outstanding borrowings.

Leases

The Company determines if an agreement contains a lease at the inception of a contract. For leases with an initial term greater than 12 months, a related lease liability is recorded on the balance sheets at the present value of future payments discounted at the estimated fully collateralized incremental borrowing rate (discount rate) corresponding with the lease term. In addition, a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset is recorded as the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any lease payments made to the lessor before or at the lease commencement date and any initial direct costs incurred, less any tenant improvement allowance incentives received. The Company elected not to separate lease and non-lease components for all real estate leases.

The Company calculates the present value of future payments using its incremental borrowing rate when the discount rate implicit in the lease is not known. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term at an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. The Company determines the applicable incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date based on the rates of its secured borrowings, which is then adjusted for the appropriate lease term and risk premium. In determining the Company’s ROU assets and corresponding lease liabilities, the Company applies these incremental borrowing rates to the minimum lease payments within each lease agreement.

Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Tenant incentive allowances received from the lessor are amortized through the ROU asset as a reduction of rent expense over the lease term. Any variable lease costs are expensed as incurred. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less (short-term leases) are not recorded as ROU assets and corresponding lease liabilities. Short-term lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. ROU assets are assessed for impairment as part of long-lived assets, which is performed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets include a customer relationship intangible associated with the Intellibed acquisition, developed technologies by Purple and Intellibed, trade names and trademarks, internal-use software, domain name costs, intellectual property and other patent and trademark related costs. Definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated lives, ranging fromtwo to 15 years.

For software developed or obtained for internal use, the Company capitalizes direct external costs associated with developing or obtaining internal-use software. In addition, the Company capitalizes certain payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly involved with the development of such applications. Capitalized costs related to internal-use software under development are treated as construction-in-progress until the program, feature or functionality is ready for its intended use, at which time amortization commences. Capitalized software costs areamortized on a straight-line basis over three years.

Asset Impairment Charges

Long-Lived Assets and Definite-lived Intangible Assets – The Company reviews its long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When evaluating long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets for potential impairment, the Company first determines if there are any indicators of impairment and if the carrying amount of the long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets might not be recoverable. If there are indicators of impairment, then the Company performs a recoverability test by comparing the carrying value of the assets to the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges - plus proceeds expected from disposition, if any). If the estimated undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the assets, the Company calculates an impairment loss. The impairment loss calculation compares the carrying value of its assets to the assets’ estimated fair value. When the Company recognizes an impairment loss, the carrying amount of the impaired assets are reduced to estimated fair value based on discounted cash flows, quoted market prices or other valuation techniques. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount of the asset or fair value less costs to sell. If the Company recognizes an impairment loss for a depreciable long-lived asset, the adjusted carrying amount of the asset becomes its new cost basis and will be depreciated (amortized) over the remaining useful life of that asset. The Company concluded there were indicators of impairment that existed at December 31, 2025 and a recoverability test was required. Based on the results of this recoverability test, the Company determined its long-lived and definite-lived assets were not impaired as of December 31, 2025 and no resultant impairment charges were recorded.

In conjunction with a restructuring action initiated in August 2024, the Company recorded impairment charges of $2.9 million and $2.5 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively, on various long-lived assets associated with entering into a subleases on the Utah manufacturing facilities that closed during the first quarter of 2025. Refer to Note 3*–Restructuring, Impairment and Other Related Charges* for more information.

Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets – Intangible assets that have indefinite lives are not amortized but are reviewed for impairment annually or when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of these assets might exceed their current fair values. Impairment testing is based upon the best information available including estimates of fair value which incorporate assumptions marketplace participants would use in making their estimates of fair value. Accounting guidance provides for the performance of either a quantitative assessment or a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of an asset. If events or market conditions affect the estimated fair value to the extent that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, the Company will adjust the carrying value of these assets in the period in which impairment occurs.

The restructuring action initiated by the Company in August 2024 was determined to be a triggering event for potential impairment of intellectual property that was being accounted for as an indefinite-lived intangible asset. The resultant impairment assessment performed by the Company determined this asset no longer had any supportable value and an $8.5 million impairment charge to write off the entire balance of the asset was recorded in 2024.

Revenue Recognition

The Company markets and sells its products through the DTC channel, which includes Purple.com (direct-to-consumer e-commerce), Purple showrooms, their customer contact center and online marketplaces, and the wholesale channel through retail brick-and-mortar and online wholesale partners. Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligations under the contract which involves transferring the promised products to the customer. This principle is achieved in the following steps:

*Identify the contract with the customer.*A contract exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the goods to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these goods, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for the goods that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The Company does not have significant costs to obtain contracts with customers.

Identify the performance obligations in the contract. The Company’s contracts with customers do not include multiple performance obligations to be completed over a period of time. The performance obligations generally relate to delivering products to a customer, subject to the shipping terms of the contract. The Company has made an accounting policy election to account for shipping and handling activities performed after a customer obtains control of the goods, including “white glove” delivery services, as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the goods. The Company does not offer extended warranty or service plans. The Company does not provide an option to its customers to purchase future products at a discount and therefore there are no material option rights.

Determine the transaction price. Payment for sale of products through the direct-to-consumer e-commerce channel and Purple showrooms is collected at point of sale in advance of shipping the products. Amounts received for unshipped products are recorded as customer prepayments. Payment by traditional wholesale customers is due under customary fixed payment terms. None of the Company’s contracts contain a significant financing component. Revenue is recorded at the net sales price, which includes estimates of variable consideration such as product returns, volume rebates, wholesale warranty returns, and other adjustments. The estimates of variable consideration are based on historical return experience, historical and projected sales data, and current contract terms. Variable consideration is included in revenue only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Taxes collected from customers relating to product sales and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from revenues.

Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract. The Company’s contracts with customers do not include multiple performance obligations. Therefore, the Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of the product to the customer’s control at contractually stated pricing.

Recognize revenue when or as we satisfy a performance obligation. The Company satisfies performance obligations at a point in time upon either shipment or delivery of goods, in accordance with the terms of each contract with the customer. With the exception of third-party “white glove” delivery and certain wholesale partners, revenue generated from product sales is recognized at shipping point, the point in time the customer obtains control of the products. Revenue generated from sales through third-party “white glove” delivery is recognized at the point in time when the product is delivered to the customer. Revenue generated from certain wholesale partners is recognized at a point in time when the product is shipped or when it is delivered to the wholesale partner’s warehouse. The Company does not have service revenue.

Sales Returns

The Company’s policy provides customers up to 100-days to return a mattress, pet bed or pillow and up to 30-days to return all other products (except power bases) for a full refund. Estimated sales returns, which are recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time of sale and recorded in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, are based on historical trends and product return rates and are adjusted for any current or expected trends as appropriate. Actual sales returns could differ from these estimates. The Company regularly assesses and adjusts the estimate of accrued sales returns by updating the return rates for actual trends and projected costs. The Company classifies the estimated sales returns as a current liability as they are expected to be paid out in less than one year.

The Company had the following activity for accrued sales returns (in thousands):

Years Ended December 31,
202520242023
Balance at beginning of period$6,515$5,404$5,107
Additions that reduced net revenue27,12938,91334,090
Deduction from reserves for current year returns(29,152)(37,802)(33,793)
Balance at end of period$4,492$6,515$5,404

Accrued Warranty Liabilities

The Company provides a limited warranty on most of the products it sells. The estimated warranty return costs associated with products sold through DTC channels are expensed at the time of sale and included in cost of revenues. The estimated warranty return costs associated with products sold through the wholesale channel are recorded at the time of sale and included as an offset to net revenues. Estimates for DTC warranty costs are based primarily on historical warranty claims, estimated warranty costs and the estimate warranty claim rate. Estimates for wholesale warranty costs are based primarily on the historical warranty claim amounts and the estimated claim rate and may be adjusted for any current or expected trends as appropriate. Actual warranty claim costs could differ from these estimates. The Company regularly assesses and adjusts the estimate of accrued warranty claims by updating claims rates for actual trends and projected claim costs. The Company expects the estimated warranty liability to continue to increase as the Company has not reached a full 10 years of history on its 10-year mattress warranty. The Company classifies estimated warranty costs expected to be paid beyond a year as a long-term liability.

The Company had the following activity for accrued warranty liabilities (in thousands):

Years Ended December 31,
202520242023
Balance at beginning of period$32,205$35,591$24,463
Additions (deductions) charged to cost of sales(1,479)3,2915,866

Deductions from reserves for current year claims(9,788)(12,965)(6,734)
Balance at end of period$26,711$32,205$35,591

Cost of Revenues

Costs associated with net revenues are recorded as cost of revenues in the same period in which related sales have been recorded. Cost of revenues includes the costs of receiving, producing, inspecting, warehousing, insuring, and shipping goods during the period, as well as depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets used in these processes. Cost of sales also includes shipping and handling costs associated with the delivery of goods to customers.

In conjunction with a restructuring action initiated in August 2024, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $15.4 million in cost of revenues for accelerated depreciation of production equipment and inventory write-downs. Refer to Note 3–Restructuring, Impairment and Other Related Charges for more information.

Cooperative Advertising, Rebate and Other Promotion Programs

The Company enters into programs with certain wholesale partners to provide funds for advertising and promotions as well as volume and other rebate programs. When sales are made to these customers, the Company records liabilities pursuant to these programs. The Company periodically assesses these liabilities based on actual sales to determine whether all the cooperative advertising earned will be used by the customer or whether the customer will meet the requirements to receive rebate funds. Estimates are required at any point in time regarding the ultimate reimbursement to be claimed by the customers. Subsequent revisions to the estimates are recorded and charged to earnings in the period in which they are identified. Rebates and certain cooperative advertising amounts are classified as a reduction of revenue and presented within net revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Cooperative advertising expenses that can be identified as a distinct good or service and for which fair value can be reasonably estimated are recorded, when incurred, as components of marketing and sales expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Marketing and sales expense in 2025, 2024 and 2023 included $10.9 million, $2.3 million and $2.0 million, respectively, related to shared advertising costs that the Company incurred under its cooperative advertising programs.

Advertising Costs

The Company incurs advertising costs associated with print, digital and broadcast advertisements. Advertising costs are expensed when the advertisements are run for the first time and included in marketing and selling expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Advertising expense was $56.1 million, $65.2 million and $72.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Debt Issuance Costs and Discounts

Debt issuance costs and discounts that relate to borrowings are presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability and are amortized into interest expense using an effective interest rate over the duration of the debt. Debt issuance costs that relate to revolving lines of credit are carried as an asset in the consolidated balance sheets and amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the related line of credit facility. Refer to Note 10*– Debt* for more information.

Warrant Liabilities

The Company issued warrants to purchase 20.0 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock to the lenders associated with a related party credit agreement entered into in January 2024. The Company issued warrants to purchase 6.2 million and 6.6 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock to lenders associated with amendments to the related party credit agreement entered into in March 2025 and May 2025, respectively. In May 2025, the Company issued to SGI warrants to purchase 8.0 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock. These warrants contain a repurchase provision which, upon the occurrence of a fundamental transaction as defined in the warrant agreement, could give rise to an obligation of the Company to pay cash to the warrant holders. In addition, other provisions may lead to a reduction in the exercise price of the warrants. The fundamental transaction provisions of the warrants resulted in them being recorded as a liability at fair value on their issue date, with the corresponding offset included in debt issuance costs or amortized as a reduction of revenue. The initial liability is subsequently re-measured to fair value at each reporting date or exercise date with changes in the fair value included in earnings. The Company uses a Monte Carlo Simulation model to determine the fair value of the liability associated with these warrants. The model uses various key assumptions and inputs, including exercise price of the warrants, fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock, risk free interest rate, warrant life, expected volatility and the probability of a warrant re-price event. Refer to Note 10*– Debt* and Note 11*– Warrant Liabilities* for more information.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company uses the fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, essentially an exit price, based on the highest and best use of the asset or liability. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

Level 1—Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2—Significant other observable inputs (e.g., quoted prices for similar items in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar items in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, such as interest rate and yield curves, and market-corroborated inputs); and

Level 3—Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting unit to develop its own assumptions.

The classification of fair value measurements within the established three-level hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurements. Financial instruments, although not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis include cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivables, accounts payable, and the Company’s debt obligations. The carrying amounts of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these accounts.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s related party debt is based on Level 2 and Level 3 inputs. Level 2 inputs include observable inputs such as market-based expectations for interest rates, credit risk and volatility. The unobservable Level 3 inputs are associated with the required rate of return for the security implied by the May 2025 issuance of debt bundled with warrants, which were valued using a Monte Carlo model and the timing and probability of a warrant reprice event, like a strategic alternative transaction. The estimated fair value of the Company’s related party debt was $115.9 million and $56.6 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The warrant liabilities (see Note 11 —Warrant Liabilitiesfor more information) are Level 3 instruments and use internal models to estimate fair value using certain significant unobservable inputs which require determination of relevant inputs and assumptions. Accordingly, changes in these unobservable inputs may have a significant impact on fair value. Significant inputs, certain of which are unobservable, include risk free interest rate, expected average life, expected dividend yield, expected volatility and the timing and probability of a warrant reprice event. These Level 3 liabilities generally decrease (increase) in value based upon an increase (decrease) in risk free interest rate and expected dividend yield. Conversely, the fair value of these Level 3 liabilities generally increases (decreases) in value if the expected average life or expected volatility were to increase (decrease).

The following table summarizes the Company’s total Level 3 liability activity for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):

Stock Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of ASC 718,Compensation—Stock Compensation. This standard requires the Company to record an expense associated with the fair value of stock-based compensation over the requisite service period.

During 2023, the Company granted stock options under the Company’s 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Equity Incentive Plan”) to certain officers, executives and employees of the Company. The fair value for these awards was determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation model at the date of grant. Stock based compensation on these awards is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Option pricing models require the input of subjective assumptions including the expected term of the stock option, the expected price volatility of the Company’s Common Stock over the period equal to the expected term of the grant, and the expected risk-free rate. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate. The Company recognizes forfeitures of stock option awards as they occur. There were no stock options granted in 2025 or 2024.

During 2023, the Company granted stock awards under the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan to independent directors on the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) for services performed. Since all of these awards vested immediately, stock-based compensation was recorded on the grant date using the publicly quoted closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on that date as fair value. There were no stock awards granted to independent directors in 2025 or 2024.

During 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company granted restricted stock units under the Company’s 2017 Equity Incentive Plan to certain employees of the Company. A portion of the restricted stock units granted included a market vesting condition. The estimated fair value of the restricted stock units that do not have the market vesting condition is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The estimated fair value of the stock units that included a market vesting condition was measured on the grant date using a Monte Carlo Simulation of a Geometric Brownian Motion stock path model and incorporated the probability of vesting occurring. The estimated fair value of these awards is recognized over the derived service period (as determined by the valuation model), with such recognition occurring regardless of whether the market condition is met.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated by applying existing tax laws and the rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the year of the enacted rate change. The Company’s effective tax rate is primarily impacted by changes in its valuation allowance.

The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes using a recognition and measurement threshold for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, which are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. The tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities based on technical merits of the position. The amount of the tax benefit recognized is the largest amount of the benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The effective tax rate and the tax basis of assets and liabilities reflect management’s estimates of the ultimate outcome of various tax uncertainties. The Company recognizes penalties and interest related to uncertain tax positions within the provision (benefit) for income taxes line in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The Company files U.S. federal and certain state income tax returns. The income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by U.S. federal and state taxing authorities for various time periods, depending on those jurisdictions’ rules, generally after the income tax returns are filed.

Tax Receivable Agreement

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company entered into a tax receivable agreement with InnoHold, which provides for the payment by the Company to InnoHold of 80% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax that the Company actually realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods after the Closing as a result of (i) any tax basis increases in the assets of Purple LLC resulting from the distribution to InnoHold of the cash consideration, (ii) the tax basis increases in the assets of Purple LLC resulting from the redemption by Purple LLC or the exchange by the Company, as applicable, of Class B Paired Securities or cash, as applicable, and (iii) imputed interest deemed to be paid by the Company as a result of, and additional tax basis arising from, payments it makes under the agreement.

As noncontrolling interest holders exercise their right to exchange or cause Purple LLC to redeem all or a portion of its Class B Units, a liability under the tax receivable agreement may be recorded based on 80% of the estimated future cash tax savings that the Company may realize as a result of increases in the basis of the assets of Purple LLC attributed to the Company as a result of such exchange or redemption. The amount of the increase in asset basis, the related estimated cash tax savings and the attendant liability to be recorded will depend on the price of the Company’s Common Stock at the time of the relevant redemption or exchange. The estimation of liability under the agreement is imprecise and subject to significant assumptions regarding the amount and timing of future taxable income.

Segment Information

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The role of the CODM is to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance. The Company’s operations are based on an omni-channel distribution strategy that allows the Company to offer a seamless shopping experience to its customers across multiple sales channels. The Company concluded its business operates inone operating segment as all the Company’s sales channels are complementary and analyzed in the same manner. Also, the CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for the purpose of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance as the Company does not accumulate discrete financial information with respect to separate divisions and does not have distinct operating or reportable segments. Since the Company operates inone operating segment, most of the required financial segment information can be found throughout the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s chief executive officer has been identified as its CODM. Refer to Note 19*– Segment Information and Concentrations* for more information.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during each period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period used in the basic net loss computation plus the effect of Common Stock equivalents that are dilutive. The Company uses the “if-converted” method to determine the potential dilutive effect of conversions of its outstanding Class B Stock, and the treasury stock method to determine the potential dilutive effect of its outstanding warrants and share-based payment awards.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09,*Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.*The ASU amends existing income tax disclosure guidance, primarily requiring more detailed disclosures for income taxes paid and the effective tax rate reconciliation. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, may be applied prospectively or retrospectively, and allows for early adoption. The Company has adopted ASU 2023-09 prospectively and has enhanced its income tax disclosures included in Note 20 -Income Taxes, to comply with the requirements. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Expense Disaggregation Disclosures

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03,Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disclosure of certain costs and expenses on an interim and annual basis in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The prescribed cost and expense categories requiring disaggregated disclosures include purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization, along with certain other expense disclosures already required by GAAP that would need to be integrated within the new tabular disaggregated expense disclosures. Additionally, the amendments also require the disclosure of total selling expenses and an entity’s definition of those expenses. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance is to be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date or (2) retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact this update will have on its expense disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Accounting for Internal-Use Software

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, “Intangible - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software.” The ASU removes all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages. The ASU requires entities to begin capitalizing software costs when management authorizes and commits to funding the software project, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used for its intended purpose. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this update will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, “Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities,” to establish guidance on the recognition, measurement, and presentation of government grants received by business entities. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2028. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

3. Restructuring, Impairment and Other Related Charges

In August 2024, the Company initiated a restructuring plan to strategically realign the Company’s focus on the achievement of operational efficiencies that are expected to improve profitability and provide for reinvesting in technology and marketing initiatives (the “Restructuring Plan”). The Company’s Restructuring Plan includes the permanent closure of its Grantsville and Salt Lake City, Utah manufacturing facilities to consolidate mattress production in its Georgia plant, and a headcount reduction at the Company’s Utah headquarters to drive additional operating efficiencies. The consolidation into the Georgia facility was finalized in December 2024 and the closure of the two Utah manufacturing facilities was completed in May 2025. The reduction in workforce at the Utah headquarters was completed in August 2024. All restructuring activities have now been completed.

The following table summarizes the restructuring, impairment and other related charges the Company has recognized in its consolidated statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):

Total restructuring, impairment and other related charges$995$—$11,386$12,381$15,442$942$19,973$36,357

Accelerated depreciation of $5.7 million in 2025 and $11.3 million in 2024 primarily represents increased depreciation expense associated with shortening the useful lives of the production equipment at the two Utah manufacturing facilities that were closed to reflect the remaining period these assets will remain in service.

The write-down of long-lived assets of $0.9 million in 2025 and $5.2 million in 2024 represents the write-down to salvage value of other property and equipment located at the two Utah manufacturing facilities that were closed.

Impairment of assets included impairment charges of $2.9 million in 2025 and $2.5 million in 2024 associated with the closing and subleasing of the Salt Lake City, Utah and Grantsville, Utah manufacturing facilities and related impairment charges associated with certain leasehold improvements of the property. The fair values of the impaired assets were determined by the Company to be Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy (refer to Note 2—Fair Value Measurements for the definition of Level 3 inputs) and were estimated based on internal expertise related to current marketplace conditions and estimated future discounted cash flows. These assets were adjusted to their estimated fair values at the time of impairment. If estimated fair values subsequently decline, the carrying values of the assets will be adjusted accordingly.

Impairment of assets also included the write-off in 2024 of an $8.5 million indefinite-lived intangible asset. Initiating the Restructuring Plan was determined to be a triggering event for potential impairment of this asset. As a result of the impairment assessment performed, the Company determined this indefinite-lived intangible asset was impaired and recorded an impairment charge to write off the entire $8.5 million balance.

The lease for the Company’s Grantsville, Utah manufacturing facility included a five-year renewal option that was reasonably certain of being exercised and included in the lease term when the ROU asset and lease liability were originally measured. Because of the closure of this facility as part of the Restructuring Plan, the renewal option will not be exercised and a reassessment of the lease terms was completed. As a result, the original lease term was shortened and the Company recorded a $10.5 million reduction to the ROU asset and corresponding lease liability in the 2024 consolidated balance sheet, using the applicable discount rate at the effective date of the reassessment.

The following table summarizes 2025 activity associated with employee-related and other costs recorded pursuant to the Restructuring Plan, as presented in the indicated line item of the consolidated statement of operations, that were settled in cash (in thousands):

4. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company markets and sells its products through direct-to-consumer e-commerce channels, retail brick-and-mortar wholesale partners, Purple showrooms, and third-party online retailers. Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligations under the contract which involves transferring the promised products to the customer, subject to shipping terms, as described in Note 2 –Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Disaggregated Revenue

The Company classifies revenue into two categories: DTC and wholesale. The DTC category is comprised of the e-commerce channel that sells directly to consumers who purchase online and through the contact center, online marketplaces, and the Purple showrooms channel that sells directly to consumers who purchase at a Company showroom location. The wholesale channel includes all product sales to the Company’s retail brick and mortar and online wholesale partners where consumers make purchases at their retail locations or through their online channels.

The following tables present the Company’s revenue disaggregated by sales channel (in thousands):

Refer to Note 3—Restructuring and Impairment Charges for more information.

7. Leases

The Company leases its manufacturing and distribution facilities, corporate offices, Purple showrooms and certain equipment under non-cancelable operating leases with various expiration dates through 2036. The Company’s office and manufacturing leases provide for initial lease terms up to 16 years, while Purple showrooms have initial lease terms of up to 10 years. Certain leases may contain options to extend the term of the original lease. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s discretion. Any lease renewal options are included in the lease term if exercise is reasonably certain at lease commencement. The Company also leases vehicles and other equipment under both operating and finance leases with initial lease terms ofthree tofive years. The ROU asset for finance leases was $0.6 million and $1.0 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

2024 Credit Agreement

On January 23, 2024, Purple LLC, Purple Inc. and Intellibed (collectively, the “Loan Parties”) entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”), which amended and restated the then existing term loan agreement (“Term Loan Agreement”), with Coliseum Capital Partners (“CCP”) and other lenders (collectively, the “Lenders”) and Delaware Trust Company, as administrative agent. The Lenders agreed to assume the Loan Parties’ obligations under the Term Loan Agreement and refinance their existing obligations. A term loan in the amount of $61.0 million (the “Related Party Loan”) was funded by the Lenders that repaid in full the $25.0 million of term loans outstanding, repaid in full the $5.0 million of asset based lending loans outstanding, paid fees, premiums and expenses incurred in connection with this transaction, and provided net proceeds to the Company (after payments of outstanding debt, unpaid accrued interest and expenses) equal to approximately $27.0 million. Interest on the Related Party Loan is payable each month and the principal outstanding matures and is due on December 31, 2026. The Company has elected for interest to be capitalized and added to the principal amount of the loan. The Related Party Loan bears interest at a rate equal to (i) the secured overnight financing rate as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York plus 0.10%, with a floor of 3.5% per annum, plus (ii)8.25% per annum (or, if Purple LLC elects to pay interest in kind to reduce it cash obligations,10.25% per annum). Any prepayments of principal on or after August 7, 2024, but before August 7, 2025, are subject to a prepayment penalty of 1.25%, and any prepayments of principal on or after August 7, 2025, are subject to a prepayment penalty of 2.50%. The Loan Parties may request an additional term loan from the Lenders in an aggregate amount not to exceed $19.0 million on terms requested by them to the extent agreed to by the Lenders at their discretion. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also removed restrictions and requirements typically associated with an asset-based loan. Total fees and expenses of $3.5 million were recorded as debt issuance costs in the first quarter of 2024 and are being amortized over the life of the loan.

In connection with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company issued 20.0 million warrants (the “2024 Warrants”) to the Lenders (see Note 11 –Warrant Liabilities). These 2024 Warrants include full-ratchet anti-dilution protections, subject to a floor of $0.8502 with respect to adjustments to the exercise price and expire on January 23, 2034. The 2024 Warrants had a fair value of $19.6 million upon issuance and were recorded as a debt discount and are being amortized over the life of the loan.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement granted a security interest to the Lenders in substantially all of the assets (subject to certain limited exceptions) of the Loan Parties to secure the Loan Parties’ loans and other obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, including a security interest in the intellectual property owned by the Loan Parties.

The Loan Parties (other than Purple LLC) provided an unconditional guaranty of the payment of all obligations and liabilities of Purple LLC under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also provides for standard indemnification of the Lenders and contains representations, warranties and certain covenants of the Loan Parties. While any amounts are outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Loan Parties are subject to a number of affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants regarding dispositions of property, investments, forming or acquiring subsidiaries, business combinations or acquisitions, incurrence of additional indebtedness and transactions with affiliates, among other customary covenants. The Loan Parties are also restricted from paying dividends or making other distributions or payments on their capital stock, subject to limited exceptions.

2025 Amendment

On March 12, 2025, the Loan Parties, entered into the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2025 Amendment” and the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as so amended, the “Amended A&R Credit Agreement”) with CCP and Blackwell Partners LLC – Series A (“Blackwell”) (collectively the “2025 Lenders”), which amends the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The 2025 Amendment, among other things, provides for an increase in the initial principal amount of the Related Party Loan by $19.0 million (the “First Incremental Loan”) from an initial Related Party Loan principal amount of $61.0 million to an initial aggregate principal amount of $80.0 million, and allows the Loan Parties to request one or more additional term loans from the 2025 Lenders in an initial aggregate principal amount not to exceed $20.0 million on terms to be agreed to by the parties and subject to the approval of the Required Lenders (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement). The First Incremental Loan will bear interest at the same rate as the Initial Loan (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement), which may be paid in cash or in kind at the Company’s option.

The 2025 Amendment also provides that (i) the First Incremental Loan shall be senior in right of repayment to the Related Party Loan and (ii) in any voluntary or mandatory prepayment in part or in full of the First Incremental Loan for any reason, the Company will be required to pay an amount equal to the greater of (i) the Make-Whole Premium (as defined below) and (ii)2.50% of the aggregate principal amount of the First Incremental Loan so prepaid, replaced or assigned. The “Make-Whole Premium” is determined as follows: on the date of prepayment, the excess of (A) (x)100% of the principal amount of such First Incremental Loan, plus (y) the present value at such date of all remaining scheduled interest payments due on such First Incremental Loan from the prepayment date through the maturity date, assuming that all such interest accrues at the Make-Whole Premium Rate (as defined in the 2025 Amendment), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate as of such prepayment date plus 50 basis points, over (B) the principal amount of such First Incremental Loan on such prepayment date.

The 2025 Amendment requires prepayment from certain amounts of proceeds received by the Company related to asset dispositions, equity issuances, incurrence of indebtedness, and extraordinary receipts. Additionally, upon an event of default, the 2025 Lenders may declare all or any portion of the term loan then outstanding to be accelerated and due and payable, immediately, including the prepayment premium. The Company determined that these features qualify as a derivative and must be bifurcated from the debt, but such value is de minimis. The Company will reassess whether the derivative has more than a de minimis value at each reporting period.

The 2025 Amendment also includes contingent interest upon an event of default at a rate of 2%. Certain non-credit related factors qualify as a derivative and must be bifurcated from the debt, but such value is de minimis.

In addition, the Company also paid (i) an amendment fee equal to 2% of the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Related Party Loan held by the 2025 Lenders, paid in kind and (ii) a 2% work fee of the initial aggregate principal amount of the First Incremental Loan paid to the 2025 Lenders, deducted from the proceeds at closing. Total fees and expenses of $2.1 million were recorded as a debt discount upon issuance of the Incremental Loan and are being amortized over the life of the loan.

In connection with the 2025 Amendment, the Company issued to the 2025 Lenders, warrants (the “2025 Warrants”) to purchase 6.2 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a price of $1.50 per share, subject to certain adjustments (see Note 11 –Warrant Liabilities). These 2025 Warrants include full-ratchet anti-dilution protections, subject to a floor of $0.6979 with respect to adjustments to the exercise price and expire on March 12, 2035. The 2025 Warrants had a fair value of $5.4 million upon issuance and were recorded as a debt discount upon issuance of the Incremental Loan and is being amortized over the life of the loan.

The 2025 Amendment was evaluated and determined to be a modification of debt since the 2025 Lenders did not grant a concession as the effective borrowing rate was not reduced, and the 2025 Amendment terms were not substantially different from the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

Second 2025 Amendment

On May 2, 2025, the Loan Parties entered into a Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second 2025 Amendment”) with the 2025 Lenders, which amends the Amended A&R Credit Agreement. The Second 2025 Amendment, among other things, provides for a commitment increase in the initial principal amount of the senior secured term loan facility by $20.0 million (the “Second Incremental Loan”) from an aggregate principal amount of up to $80.0 million (the “Existing Loan”) to an initial aggregate principal amount of up to $100.0 million (the “Loan”) and allows the Loan Parties to request one or more additional term loans from the Lenders in an initial aggregate principal amount not to exceed $20.0 million on terms to be agreed to by the parties and subject to the approval of the Required Lenders (as defined in the Amended A&R Credit Agreement). The Second Incremental Loan will bear interest at the same rate as the Existing Loan, which may be paid in cash or in kind at the Company’s option.

The Second 2025 Amendment also provides that (i) the Second Incremental Loan shall be senior in right of repayment to the initial $61.0 million loan under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and pari passu with the First Incremental Loan and (ii) in any voluntary or mandatory prepayment in part or in full of the Second Incremental Loan for any reason, the Company will be required to pay an amount equal to the greater of (a) the Make-Whole Premium (as defined below) and (b)2.5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Second Incremental Loan so prepaid, replaced or assigned. The “Make-Whole Premium” is determined as follows: on the date of prepayment, the excess of (A) (x)100% of the principal amount of such Second Incremental Loan, plus (y) the present value at such date of all remaining scheduled interest payments due on such Second Incremental Loan from the prepayment date through the maturity date, assuming that all such interest accrues at the Make-Whole Premium Rate (as defined in the Second 2025 Amendment), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate as of such prepayment date plus 50 basis points, over (B) the principal amount of such Second Incremental Loan on such prepayment date.

In addition, the Company also paid (i) an amendment fee equal to 0.25% of the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Existing Loan held by the Lenders, paid in kind to the 2025 Lenders, (ii) a work fee equal to 0.1% of the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Existing Loan, paid in cash to the Required Lenders, (iii) a waiver fee, to induce the Required Lenders to waive certain preemptive and right of first refusal rights, equal to 0.15% of the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Existing Loan, paid in cash to the Required Lenders, and (iv) a commitment fee equal to $0.2 million, paid in cash to the Required Lenders.

In connection with the Second 2025 Amendment, the Company issued to the 2025 Lenders, warrants (the “2025 Additional Warrants”) to purchase 6.6 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a price of $1.50 per share, subject to certain adjustments (see Note 11 –Warrant Liabilities). These 2025 Additional Warrants include full-ratchet anti-dilution protections, subject to a floor of $0.6979 with respect to adjustments to the exercise price and expire on March 12, 2035. The 2025 Additional Warrants had a fair value of $5.4 million upon issuance and were recorded as a debt discount upon issuance of the Incremental Loan and is being amortized over the life of the loan.

The Second 2025 Amendment was evaluated and determined to be a modification of debt since the 2025 Lenders did not grant a concession, as the effective borrowing rate was not reduced, and the 2025 Amendment terms were not substantially different from the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

The Company has elected to have interest paid-in-kind and added to the principal amount of the loans. Interest expense under the Related Party Loan, the First Incremental Loan and the Second Incremental Loan for the year ended December 31, 2025, consisted of paid-in-kind interest of $15.8 million and debt issuance cost amortization of $13.4 million. Interest expense under the Related Party Loan for the year ended December 31, 2024, consisted of paid-in-kind interest of $9.7 million and debt issuance cost amortization of $7.2 million. The effective interest rate was 14.58% and 15.54% for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

On March 24, 2026, pursuant to the Third Amendment to the Amended A&R Credit Agreement, the Loan Parties waived certain requirements and events of default relating to the going concern qualification in our December 31, 2025 financial statements (see Footnote 21 – Subsequent Events). Accordingly, the Company is now in compliance with all covenants under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as amended by the 2025 Amendment and the Second 2025 Amendment.

As of December 31, 2025, the scheduled maturities of debt outstanding for each of the next five years and thereafter are as follows (in thousands):

11. Warrant Liabilities

On January 23, 2024, in connection with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company issued 20.0 million 2024 Warrants to the Lenders, on March 12, 2025, in connection with the 2025 Amendment, the Company issued 6.2 million 2025 Warrants to the 2025 Lenders, on May 2, 2025, in connection with the Second 2025 Amendment, the Company issued 6.6 million 2025 Additional Warrants to the 2025 Lenders, and on May 2, 2025, in connection with the SGI Agreements (as defined above), the Company issued to SGI warrants to purchase 8.0 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “SGI Warrants,” collectively, the “Warrants”). Each Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchaseone share of the Company’s Common Stock at a price of $1.50 per share. The Warrants include full-ratchet anti-dilution protections, subject to a floor price ranging from $0.6979 to $0.8502 with respect to adjustments to the exercise price and expire between January 23, 2034 and March 12, 2035. While the Warrants are exercisable, the Company may call the Warrants for redemption in whole and not in part at any time at a price of $0.01 per share of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants upon not less than 45 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each holder, provided that this redemption right is only available if the reported last sale price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $24.00 per share on each of 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the holders. The Warrants will expire on the 10-year anniversary of issuance, or earlier upon redemption. The holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of Common Stock or any voting rights until they exercise their Warrants. After the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held on all matters to be voted on by stockholders generally. A holder of the Warrants will not have the right to exercise its Warrants, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 49.9% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. The Warrants contain a repurchase provision which, upon an occurrence of a fundamental transaction as defined in the warrant agreement, could give rise to an obligation of the Company to pay cash to the warrant holders. In addition, other provisions may lead to a reduction in the exercise price of the Warrants. The Company determined the fundamental transaction provisions require the Warrants to be accounted for as a liability at fair value on the date of the transaction, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings in the period of change. As a result, the liability for these Warrants was recorded at fair value on the date of issuance with the offset included in debt issuance costs. This liability is subsequently re-measured to fair value at each reporting date or exercise date with changes in the fair value included in earnings.

The Company used a Monte Carlo Simulation model to determine the fair value of the liability associated with the Warrants. The model used key assumptions and inputs, certain of which are unobservable, which include exercise price, fair market value of Common Stock, risk free interest rate, warrant life, expected volatility and the probability of a warrant re-price event. The following are the assumptions used in calculating fair value of the Warrants:

December 31,December 31,
20252024
Trading price of common stock on measurement date$0.69$0.78
Exercise price$1.50$1.50
Risk free interest rate3.95 – 4.03%4.45%
Warrant life in years8.06 – 9.209.06
Expected volatility88.0%88.0%
Expected dividend yield——
Probability of an event causing a warrant re-price70.0%25.0%
Estimated date of event causing a warrant re-priceMay 2026January 2029

The Warrants had a fair value of $16.2 million as of December 31, 2025. The Company recognized a gain of $17.2 million and $3.5 million in its consolidated statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to a decrease in the fair value of the Warrants outstanding at the end of the period compared to the fair value of the Warrants on the previous measurement date or date of issuance.

12. Other Long-Term Liabilities

Other long-term liabilities consist of the following (in thousands):

December 31,December 31,
20252024
Asset retirement obligations$1,160$1,098
Other604911
Total other long-term liabilities$1,764$2,009

The Company’s asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) relate to two manufacturing facilities that are leased. One of the properties is the Company’s former manufacturing facility in Grantsville, Utah which was closed in the first quarter of 2025 (For further discussion see Note 3—Restructuring, Impairment and Other Related Charges). The other property is the Company’s current manufacturing facility in McDonough, Georgia. The ARO liabilities represent future estimated costs associated with the restoration of the facilities to their original state at the end of the respective lease terms. The fair value of a liability for an ARO is recorded in the period in which it is incurred, discounted to its present value using a credit-adjusted-risk-free interest rate, with a corresponding amount capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. These liabilities are accreted each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. Revisions to estimated ARO liabilities result in an adjustment to the related capitalized asset and corresponding liability. Because the Company utilizes unobservable inputs in the estimation of its ARO liabilities, the fair values were determined to be Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy (For further discussion regarding the definition of Level 3 inputs see Note 2—Fair Value Measurements).

The Company had the following activity for its ARO liabilities (in thousands):

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Chief Executive Officer Cash Bonus Award

On January 26, 2024, the Board approved an amendment to the Chief Executive Officer’s employment agreement. Under the amendment, the Company agreed that, among other things, the Chief Executive Officer will be eligible to earn a cash payment of up to $5.0 million, less tax and other required withholdings, based on the volume weighted average price per share of the Company’s Common Stock on NASDAQ during the period from March 16, 2026 through June 30, 2026 subject to his continued employment with the Company. The amount earned will be payable in quarterly installments commencing with the first payroll period following June 30, 2026. The Company determined the provisions surrounding the future bonus payment require it to be accounted for as a liability at fair value on the date of the transaction, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings in the period of change. The Company recorded a de minimis amount of compensation expense in its 2024 and 2025 consolidated statement of operations related to the fair value of the future bonus payment.

Senior Leadership Team Special Recognition Bonus

On January 26, 2024, the Board unanimously approved a special recognition bonus payment to certain members of the Company’s senior leadership team. The bonus was awarded to incentivize retention and continued engagement with the Company during these challenging times in the bedding industry. Each participant is eligible to earn a special recognition bonus payment equal to 15 months of their regular salary. The special recognition bonus payment is paid as follows, subject to the employee’s continued employment with the Company:10% was paid in August 2024,20% was paid in February 2025, and the remaining 70% was to be paid in August 2025. Certain members of the Company’s senior leadership team agreed to postpone their August 2025 payment until January 2026 for a 15% premium on the amount that was due to be paid in August 2025. Related to this bonus payment, the Company recorded compensation expense of $1.6 million and $3.1 million in its 2025 and 2024 consolidated statement of operations, respectively.

Long-Term Incentive Cash Bonus Award

On July 17, 2025, the Board unanimously approved a long-term incentive cash award to those employees eligible to participate in the Company’s 2017 Plan. The incentive award payment is based on a combination of time-based payments over a three-year period and performance-based payments paid in three years if certain financial performance targets are met.

On June 20, 2024, the Board unanimously approved a performance long-term incentive cash award to those employees eligible to participate in the Company’s 2017 Plan. The incentive award payment is based on a performance goal of the volume weighted average price per share of the Company’s Common Stock on NASDAQ on March 31, 2027. The Company determined the provisions surrounding the performance cash long-term incentive award require it to be accounted for as a liability at fair value at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings in the period of change.

The Company recorded $0.3 million and $0.2 million of compensation expense related to these future cash awards in the 2025 and 2024 consolidated statement of operations, respectively.

Settlement of Insurance Claim

In 2024, the Company received two payments totaling $11.6 million for full settlement of a previously filed business interruption claim which was recorded as other income, net in the 2024 consolidated statement of operations.

Rights of Securities Holders

On January 23, 2024, in connection with the issuance of the 2024 Warrants, the Company entered into an amended and restated registration rights agreement with holders of the Warrants (the “Holders”), providing for the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of the 2024 Warrants, the shares issuable upon the exercise of the 2024 Warrants and Common Stock held by the Holders as of such date, subject to customary terms and conditions.

On March 12, 2025 in connection with the issuance of the 2025 Warrants, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Holders, providing for the registration of the 2025 Warrants, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, and the Common Stock held by the Holders as of such date (the “Registrable Securities”).

On May 2, 2025 in connection with the issuance of the 2025 Additional Warrants, the Company entered into a Third Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “Third Amended Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Holders, providing for the registration under the Securities Act of the 2025 Additional Warrants, the shares issuable upon the exercise of the 2025 Additional Warrants, other warrants held by the Holders (and shares issuable upon exercise thereof) and the Common Stock held by the Holders as of such date (the “2025 Additional Registrable Securities”), subject to customary terms and conditions.

On May 2, 2025 in connection with the issuance of the SGI Warrants, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “SGI Registration Rights Agreement” and collectively with the 2025 Registration Rights Agreement and the Third Amended Registration Rights Agreement, the “Registration Rights Agreements”) with SGI, providing for the registration under the Securities Act of the SGI Warrants, the shares issuable upon the exercise of the SGI Warrants, and the Common Stock held by SGI as of such date (the “SGI Registrable Securities” and collectively with the 2025 Registrable Securities and 2025 Additional Registrable Securities, the “Registrable Securities”), subject to customary terms and conditions.

The Registration Rights Agreements entitle the investors party thereto to demand registration of the Registrable Securities and also to piggyback on the registration of Company securities by the Company and other Company securityholders. The Company will be responsible for the payment of the Holders’ expenses in connection with any offering or sale of Registrable Securities, including underwriting discounts or selling commissions, placement agent or broker fees or similar discounts, commissions or fees relating to the sale of certain Registrable Securities.

The registration statement filed on May 23, 2025, which registered the Registrable Securities, was declared effective by the SEC on May 30, 2025.

NOL Rights Plan

On June 27, 2024, the Board adopted and the Company entered into a limited-duration stockholder rights agreement (the “NOL Rights Plan”) with a stated expiration date of June 30, 2025. The Board adopted the NOL Rights Plan to protect stockholder value by attempting to safeguard the Company’s ability to use its June 30, 2024 estimated $238 million of net operating losses (the “Current NOLs”) to reduce potential future federal income tax obligations from becoming substantially limited by future ownership changes in the Company’s Common Stock under Code Section 382. On October 15, 2024, at a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”), the Company’s stockholders ratified the NOL Rights Plan. On May 6, 2025, the Board approved the early termination of the NOL Rights Plan, effective May 7, 2025. In conjunction with the termination of the NOL Rights Plan, the Company filed a Certificate of Elimination with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware eliminating the Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock, effective May 7, 2025. Refer to Note 15 –Stockholders’ Equity – NOL Rights Plan for more information.

NOL Protective Charter Amendment

To further safeguard the Company’s ability to use its Current NOLs, on July 27, 2024, the Board adopted and recommended that the Company’s stockholders approve an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “NOL Protective Charter Amendment”) that adds an additional layer of protection of the Current NOLs until June 30, 2025 by voiding certain transfers of Common Stock that could result in an ownership change under Code Section 382. At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved the NOL Protective Charter Amendment. On May 6, 2025, the Board approved the early termination of the NOL Protective Charter Amendment, effective May 7, 2025. Refer to Note 15 –Stockholders’ Equity – NOL Protective Charter Amendment for more information.

SGI Commercial Arrangements

On May 2, 2025, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to Master Retailer Agreement (the “MRA Amendment”) with Mattress Firm, a business unit of SGI, which provides that SGI, through its Mattress Firm stores, will expand its inventory of the Company’s products across its national store network from approximately 5,000 mattress slots to a minimum of 12,000 mattress slots. The agreement includes a $3.5 million fee to be paid by the Company to reimburse Mattress Firm for certain costs in transitioning to the product placement required by the agreement. The fee is accounted for under the provisions of ASC 606—Revenue from Contracts with Customers as consideration payable to a customer as a reduction of revenue over the life of the contract and is included in accrued rebates and allowances on the audited consolidated balance sheets. The Company recorded $0.9 million as a reduction of revenue in the 2025 consolidated statement of operations. Also on May 2, 2025, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Master Vendor Supply and Services Agreement (the “Sherwood Agreement” and together with the MRA Amendment the “SGI Agreements”) with Tempur Sherwood, LLC, a subsidiary of Tempur Sealy. The Sherwood Agreement provides that Tempur Sherwood, LLC will have the exclusive right to assemble certain product lines that the Company sells to Mattress Firm. The SGI Agreements expire on December 31, 2027.

In connection with the SGI Agreements, the Company issued to SGI the SGI Warrants to purchase 8.0 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a strike price of $1.50 per share. The SGI Warrants include full-ratchet anti-dilution protections, subject to a floor of $0.6979 with respect to adjustments to the exercise price and expire on March 12, 2035. The Company determined the warrants are required to be accounted for as a liability at the fair value of $6.5 million on the date of the transaction (see Note 11 –Warrant Liabilities). The fair value of the warrants on the date of the transaction is accounted for under the provisions of ASC 606—Revenue from Contracts with Customers and deemed to be consideration payable to a customer as a reduction of revenue over the life of the contract. The Company recorded $1.6 million as a reduction of revenue in the 2025 consolidated statement of operations.

Non-Income Related Taxes

The U.S. Supreme Court ruling inSouth Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc., No.17-494, reversed a longstanding precedent that remote sellers are not required to collect state and local sales taxes. The Company cannot predict the effect of these and other attempts to impose sales, income or other taxes on e-commerce. The Company currently collects and reports on sales tax in all states in which it does business. However, the application of existing, new or revised taxes on the Company’s business, in particular, sales taxes, value-added tax and similar taxes would likely increase the cost of doing business online and decrease the attractiveness of selling products over the internet. The application of these taxes on the Company’s business could also create significant increases in internal costs necessary to capture data and collect and remit taxes. There have been, and will continue to be, substantial ongoing costs associated with complying with the various indirect tax requirements in the numerous markets in which the Company conducts or will conduct business.

On December 16, 2022, Purple’s founders filed a complaint against Purple Inc. in the Fourth Judicial District Court in the State of Utah. In that suit, the plaintiffs alleged that they each entered into employment agreements with Purple LLC in February 2018. The plaintiffs contended that certain corporate transactions reduced their “ownership interest and voting power in Purple” and that, as a result, they should have continued to be paid a salary when they retired from Purple LLC. The plaintiffs calculated that they were each owed “no less than $500,000” in unpaid salary. In October 2023, the Court granted Purple Inc.’s motion and ordered that the claims brought by the plaintiffs be dismissed in full, with prejudice. The Court entered a final judgment dismissing the case in January 2024. The plaintiffs appealed. After oral arguments, on April 3, 2025, the Utah Court of Appeals ordered the case return to the District Court for further fact finding. The Utah Supreme Court declined to hear the case, sending back for further action at the trial court that will continue into 2026. The Company maintains insurance to cover the costs of defending against claims of this nature and intends to continue to vigorously defend against these claims in the course of the plaintiffs’ appeal.

On April 3, 2023, Purple’s founders filed a complaint against Purple LLC in the Delaware Court of Chancery. The complaint alleges that Purple LLC breached the limited liability company agreement of Purple LLC by failing to pay the full amount of tax distributions owed under the agreement. The plaintiffs seek damages of approximately $3.0 million in allegedly unpaid tax distributions as well as legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with the litigation. On June 13, 2023, Purple LLC filed an answer to the complaint denying the plaintiffs’ allegations, setting forth its affirmative defenses, and requesting dismissal of all claims and entry of judgment in Purple LLC’s favor. A trial date has been set for June 2026. The outcome of the litigation cannot be predicted at this early stage in the proceedings. Purple LLC denies all allegations and intends to vigorously defend against these claims.

On January 17, 2024, two customers filed a punitive class action lawsuit (the “Class Action Lawsuit”) against Purple LLC in California Superior Court in the County of San Francisco alleging unlawful marketing and pricing practices, fraud and unjust enrichment. The suit sought damages and other relief on behalf of all persons who purchased Purple LLC products during the applicable statutory periods in California. On July 15, 2024, the Company entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with the plaintiffs in connection with the Class Action Lawsuit. On August 16, 2024 the United States District Court for the Northern District of California dismissed the Class Action Lawsuit and approved the Settlement Agreement. Upon receipt of the executed release of all claims by the plaintiffs, the Company made a cash payment pursuant to the Settlement Agreement.

On April 16, 2024, Purple’s founders, in their capacity as a former landlord of Purple LLC, brought a lawsuit against Purple LLC, as lessee, for amounts allegedly owed under a real estate lease which the parties terminated effective September 30, 2023. In the suit, the plaintiffs allege approximately $2.5 million in damages, based primarily on a dispute regarding whether Purple LLC left the premises in the condition required by the lease. The plaintiffs further claim approximately $0.8 million in holdover rent, as well as unspecified amounts in interest, late fees, liquidated damages, attorney fees and costs. Fact discovery is scheduled to conclude in early 2026. The court has not yet set a date for trial. Purple LLC denies all allegations and intends to vigorously defend against these claims.

On July 24, 2024, a former part-time employee filed a class action lawsuit against Purple LLC in California Superior Court in the County of Alameda alleging failure to pay all wages, failure to pay overtime pay rate, failure to provide all meal periods, and other employment-related causes of action. The suit seeks damages, interest, attorneys’ fees, costs and other relief on behalf of all non-exempt California employees of Purple LLC during the applicable statutory periods. On September 30, 2024, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint adding a claim for penalties under California’s Private Attorneys General Act. Purple LLC and the plaintiffs mediated the claims on May 8, 2025, which resulted in the parties agreeing to a settlement. The settlement agreement has been signed by the parties and are currently waiting for the California Superior Court to approve the settlement.

On February 10, 2025, a shareholder of the Company filed a class action lawsuit in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against Purple Inc. and the individual members of the Board alleging that Section 29 of the NOL Rights Plan violates Delaware General Corporate Law Sections 102(b)(7) and 141(a). The suit sought declaratory relief, attorneys’ fees, costs, and other relief on behalf of the class. The NOL Rights Plan expired by its own terms in June 2025, and plaintiff’s counsel voluntarily dismissed the lawsuit in September 2025.

The Company is from time to time involved in various other claims, legal proceedings and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe that adverse decisions in any such pending or threatened proceedings, or any amount that the Company might be required to pay by reason thereof, would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or future results of the Company.

At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders ratified the NOL Rights Plan. The Company’s ability to use the Current NOLs to offset future taxable income may be significantly limited if the Company experiences an “ownership change” under Code Section 382, which occurs if one or more stockholders or groups of stockholders that is deemed to own at least 5% of the Company’s Common Stock increases their aggregate ownership by more than 50 percentage points over its lowest ownership percentage within a rolling three-year period. The NOL Rights Plan is intended to prevent an ownership change by acting as a deterrent to any Person (as such term is defined in the NOL Rights Plan) acquiring 4.9% or more of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company (or, in the case of a Grandfathered Person (as such term is defined in the NOL Rights Plan), an additional one-half of one percentage point of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company above their current ownership percentage). Any Person that acquires shares of the Company’s Common Stock in violation of the limitations of the NOL Rights Plan is known as an “Acquiring Person.” For purposes of the NOL Rights Plan, “common stock” includes (i) the Common Stock; (ii) the Class B Stock; and (iii) any interest that would be treated as “stock” of the Company pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.382-2T(f)(18). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the NOL Rights Plan allows for the exercise of currently outstanding conversion rights, exchange rights, warrants or options, or otherwise, without triggering the NOL Rights Plan. Refer to Note 11 –Warrant Liabilities for further discussion of the Company’s outstanding warrants.

The NOL Rights Plan provided for the issuance of a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a “Right”) for each share of common stock outstanding on July 26, 2024. Each Right entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series C Preferred Share for a purchase price of $2.75, subject to adjustment as provided in the NOL Rights Plan. Each Series C Preferred Share is designed to be the economic equivalent of one share of common stock.

The Rights provided that they expire on the earliest to occur of (i) the close of business on June 30, 2025; (ii) the time at which the Rights are redeemed (as discussed below) or exchanged by the Company; (iii) the repeal of Code Section 382, if the Board determines that the NOL Rights Plan is no longer necessary for the preservation of the Current NOLs; or (v) the beginning of a taxable year of the Company to which the Board determines that no Current NOLs may be carried forward.

The initial issuance of the Rights as a dividend had no tax, financial accounting or reporting impact. The fair value of the Rights is nominal, since the Rights were not exercisable when issued and no value is attributable to them. Additionally, the Rights do not meet the definition of a liability under GAAP and therefore were not accounted for as a long-term obligation. Accordingly, the NOL Rights Plan and the Rights issued thereunder have no impact on the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.

On May 6, 2025, the Board approved the early termination of the NOL Rights Plan, effective May 7, 2025.

NOL Protective Charter Amendment

On June 27, 2024, concurrently with the adoption of NOL Rights Plan, the Board adopted, and recommended that the Company’s stockholders approve at the Special Meeting, the NOL Protective Charter Amendment that adds an additional layer of protection of the Current NOLs until June 30, 2025 by voiding any transfer of Common Stock that results in any Person holding 4.9% or more of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company (or, in the case of a Person already holding more than 4.9% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company as of the date of the NOL Protective Charter Amendment, one-half of one percentage point of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company above their current ownership percentage). At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved the NOL Protective Charter Amendment. Any acquisition of common stock in violation of the NOL Protective Charter Amendment would be void as of the date it is attempted.

On May 6, 2025, the Board approved the early termination of the NOL Protective Charter Amendment, effective May 7, 2025.

While the Warrants are exercisable, the Company may call the Warrants for redemption in whole and not in part at any time at a price of $0.01 per share of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants upon not less than 45 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each holder. This redemption right is only available if the reported last sale price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $24.00 per share on each of 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the holders. A holder of the Warrants will not have the right to exercise its Warrants, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 49.9% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.

Noncontrolling Interest

Noncontrolling interest (“NCI”) is the membership interest in Purple LLC held by holders other than the Company. At both December 31, 2025 and 2024, the combined NCI percentage in Purple LLC was 0.2%. The Company has consolidated the financial position and results of operations of Purple LLC and reflected the proportionate interest held by all such Purple LLC Class B Unit holders as NCI.

The estimated fair value of Company stock options is amortized over the options vesting period on a straight-line basis. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, stock-based compensation expense related to stock options was de minimis. As of December 31, 2025, all stock options have been expensed and there is no remaining amount of unrecognized stock compensation expense.

Employee Restricted Stock Units

In 2025 and 2024, the Company granted 1.2 million and 1.8 million, respectively, of restricted stock units under the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan to certain members of the Company’s management team. Of the restricted stock units granted in 2024,1.2 million, included a market vesting condition. The restricted stock awards granted in 2025, and 2024 that did not have a market vesting condition had weighted average grant date fair values of $1.76 and $1.00 per share, respectively. The estimated fair value of these awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

The restricted stock awards granted in 2024 that did have a market vesting condition had a weighted average grant date fair value of $1.13 per share. For these awards, the estimated fair value was measured on the grant date and incorporated the probability of vesting occurring. The estimated fair value is recognized over the derived service period (as determined by the valuation model), with such recognition occurring regardless of whether the market condition is met. The Company determined the weighted average grant date fair value of these awards using a Monte Carlo Simulation of a Geometric Brownian Motion stock path model with the following weighted average assumptions:

Trading price of common stock on measurement date$1.50
Risk free interest rate4.46%
Expected life in years3.0

19. Segment Information and Concentrations

The Company designs and manufactures a variety of innovative, branded and premium comfort products, including mattresses, pillows, cushions, bases, sheets, and other products. The Company hasone reportable segment that operates an omni-channel distribution strategy which allows the Company to offer a seamless shopping experience to its customers across multiple sales channels. The Company’sone segment markets and sells products through its direct-to-consumer e-commerce channels, retail brick-and-mortar wholesale partners, Purple showrooms, and third-party online retailers.

The accounting policies for the Company’sone segment are the same as those described in Note 2,Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The CODM assesses performance for the segment and decides how to allocate resources based on consolidated net income or loss as reported in the consolidated statement of operations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total consolidated assets. The Company does not have intra-entity sales or transfers.

The CODM uses consolidated net income (loss) to evaluate earnings generated from segment assets (return on assets) in deciding whether to reinvest profits into its single reportable segment or into other parts of the entity, such as for acquisitions. Consolidated net income (loss) is also used to monitor budget versus actual results. The monitoring of budgeted versus actual results are used in assessing the segment’s performance and in establishing management’s compensation.

The Company classifies products into two major categories: sleep products and other. Sleep products include mattresses, platforms, adjustable bases, mattress protectors, pillows and sheets. Other products include cushions and various other products. In 2025, 2024 and 2023, sales of other products accounted for less than 3% of net revenues.

The Company defines international revenues as sales to customers located outside of the United States. In 2025, 2024 and 2023, international customers accounted for less than 2% of net revenues.

The Company had one individual customer that accounted for approximately 39% and 29% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and approximately 16%,13% and 10% of net revenue during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Company currently obtains materials and components used in production from outside sources. As a result, the Company is dependent upon suppliers that in some instances, are the sole source of supply. The Company is continuing efforts to dual-source key components. The failure of one or more of the Company’s suppliers to provide materials or components on a timely basis could significantly impact the results of operations. The Company believes that it can obtain these raw materials and components from other sources of supply in the ordinary course of business, although an unexpected loss of supply over a short period of time may not allow for the replacement of these sources in the ordinary course of business.

The Company maintains its cash balances in financial institutions based in the United States that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000 for each financial institution per entity. At times, the Company’s cash balance deposited at financial institutions exceed the federally insured deposit limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk related to these deposits.

20. Income Taxes

The Company’s sole material asset is Purple LLC, which is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and for purposes of certain state and local income taxes. Purple LLC’s net taxable income and any related tax credits are passed through to its members and included in the members’ tax returns, even though such net taxable income or tax credits may not have actually been distributed. While the Company consolidates Purple LLC for financial reporting purposes, the Company will be taxed on its share of earnings of Purple LLC not attributed to the noncontrolling interest holders, which will continue to bear their share of income tax on its allocable earnings of Purple LLC. The primary factors impacting expected tax are tax exempt income from the tax receivable agreement, remeasurement of the deferred taxes associated with the investment in Purple LLC, and the impact of recording a valuation allowance.

During 2022, the Company entered into a three-year cumulative loss position and determined that it would not be able to generate sufficient taxable income to utilize its deferred tax assets. Based on this and other negative evidence, the Company concluded it was more likely than not that its deferred tax assets would not be realized and that a full valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets was required. At both December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company continued to maintain a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets based on its three-year cumulative loss position.

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company entered into a tax receivable agreement with InnoHold, which provides for the payment by the Company to InnoHold of 80% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax that the Company actually realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods after the Closing as a result of (i) any tax basis increases in the assets of Purple LLC resulting from the distribution to InnoHold of the cash consideration, (ii) the tax basis increases in the assets of Purple LLC resulting from the redemption by Purple LLC or the exchange by the Company, as applicable, of Class B Paired Securities or cash, as applicable, and (iii) imputed interest deemed to be paid by the Company as a result of, and additional tax basis arising from, payments it makes under the agreement.

As noncontrolling interest holders exercise their right to exchange or cause Purple LLC to redeem all or a portion of their Class B Units, a liability may be recorded based on 80% of the estimated future cash tax savings that the Company may realize as a result of increases in the basis of the assets of Purple LLC attributed to the Company as a result of such exchange or redemption. The amount of the increase in asset basis, the related estimated cash tax savings and the attendant liability to be recorded will depend on the price of the Company’s Common Stock at the time of the relevant redemption or exchange.

During 2022, the Company concluded that the tax receivable agreement liability was not probable and correspondingly reduced its tax receivable agreement liability tozero. There was no tax receivable agreement liability recorded during 2025 or 2024.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company estimates it will have approximately $79.9 million of tax-affected U.S. net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”), of which $79.4 million do not have an expiration date and $0.5 million expire in 2037. The Company also had approximately $21.1 million of tax-affected NOL carryforwards to reduce future state taxable income at December 31, 2025, which have various carryforward periods and begin to expire in 2026, if unused. Under Section 382 and related provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change”, the corporation’s ability to use its pre-change net operating loss carryforwards and other pre-change tax attributes to offset its post-change income may be limited. Generally, an ownership change is defined as a change in its equity ownership by certain stockholders over a three-year period of greater than 50 percentage points (by value). If finalized, Treasury Regulations currently proposed under Section 382 of the Code may further limit our ability to utilize our pre-change NOLs or other tax attributes if we undergo a future ownership change. Thus, our ability to utilize carryforwards of our net operating losses, including net operating losses acquired from the Intellibed acquisition, and other tax attributes to reduce future tax liabilities may be substantially restricted. As of December 31, 2025, we completed a study to assess whether an ownership change has occurred, as defined by IRC Section 382, or whether there have been ownership changes since the Company’s formation. The results of this study indicate that we experienced one ownership change on December 31, 2021. We may also experience ownership changes in the future as a result of subsequent shifts in our stock ownership. As a result, if we generate taxable income, our ability to use our pre-change NOL and tax credits carryforwards to reduce U.S. federal and state taxable income may be subject to further limitations, which could result in increased future tax liabilities to us. Moreover, our federal NOLs from years prior to 2018 can be carried forward for a maximum of 20 years from the year in which the NOL was incurred, and our state NOLs are subject to carryforward limitations that vary from state to state; as a result, all or a portion of those carryforwards could expire before being available to reduce future income tax liabilities. Refer to Note 15 –Stockholders’ Equity – NOL Rights Plan for information on plan adopted by the Board to preserve Current NOLs.

The Company estimates federal research and development (“R&D”) tax credit carryforwards will be approximately $2.9 million as of December 31, 2025, which begin to expire in 2042, if unused. The Company also had approximately $1.9 million of state tax credit carryforwards to reduce future state tax liability at December 31, 2025, which have various carryforward periods and begin to expire in 2030, if unused.

On July 4, 2025, the U.S. enacted tax legislation referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”). The OBBBA includes significant changes to U.S. income tax laws, including tax cut extensions and modifications to the international tax framework with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others effective in 2026 and afterward. The OBBBA did not have a material impact on the Company’s effective tax rate.

The effects of uncertain tax positions are recognized in the consolidated financial statements if these positions meet a “more-likely-than-not” threshold. For those uncertain tax positions that are recognized in the consolidated financial statements, liabilities are established to reflect the portion of those positions it cannot conclude “more-likely-than-not” to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on the income tax expense line in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Accrued interest and penalties would be included on the related tax liability line in the consolidated balance sheets. There areno material interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, there are $0.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits that if recognized would affect the annual effective tax rate.

The following table summarizes the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):

21. Subsequent Events

Tariff Refund Legal Proceedings

On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision invalidating tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”). The Company estimates that approximately $5.3 million of its previous tariff payments are subject to this ruling. On March 6, 2026, the Company filed a lawsuit in the U.S. Court of International Trade against the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”), the CBP commissioner, and the United States of America seeking a full refund of all IEEPA tariffs that the Company has paid to the United States. The financial impact of these events is uncertain, as it is unclear to what extent duties will be refunded by CBP, what processes will govern such refunds, or if the Company can fully collect related amounts receivable by the Company. The Company is evaluating the impact of these developments on its business and financial statements. No adjustments have been recorded in the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements as the Company cannot reasonably estimate the financial impact; however, it is reasonably possible that it could be material.

Third Amendment to the Amended A&R Credit Agreement

As previously disclosed, on January 23, 2024, the Loan Parties, entered into Amended A&R Credit Agreement with Coliseum Capital Partners, L.P. (“CCP”), Blackwell Partners LLC – Series A (“Blackwell” and together with CCP, the “Coliseum Lenders”) and other lenders (collectively, the “Lenders”) and CSC Delaware Trust Company, as administrative agent, which was amended on March 12, 2025, and May 2, 2025.

On March 24, 2026, the Loan Parties entered into a Third Amendment to the Amended A&R Credit Agreement with the Lenders, which revised the maturity date under the Amended A&R Credit Agreement from December 31, 2026, to April 30, 2027 and waived certain requirements and events of default relating to the going concern qualification in our December 31, 2025 financial statements. In connection with the Third Amendment, the Loan Parties agreed to pay to the Lenders an amendment fee in the aggregate amount of $1.6 million, equal to 1.25% pro rata based on each Lender’s outstanding principal amount (the “Amendment Fee”). Of the Amendment Fee, approximately $1.3 million is payable-in-kind by adding such amount to such Coliseum Lenders’ outstanding principal amount. The remaining $0.3 million of the Amendment Fee was paid in cash. In connection with the Third Amendment, the Loan Parties also agreed to reimburse the Coliseum Lenders for certain expenses in the amount of $0.3 million.
