In 2011, Stitch Fix introduced an innovative approach to shopping for clothing and accessories. We were inspired by the opportunity to create a client-first styling experience, offering an alternative to impersonal, time-consuming and inconvenient traditional shopping. Clients engage with us by (1) receiving a curated shipment of items informed by our algorithms and chosen by a Stitch Fix Stylist (a “Fix”); or (2) purchasing directly from our website or mobile app based on an individualized assortment of outfit and item recommendations (“Freestyle”). Clients choose to schedule regular shipments or order a Fix on demand. Then, after receiving a Fix, they can purchase the items they want to keep and return the other items, if any.

We remain focused on retaining current clients, improving the conversion of new clients, and enhancing our overall client experience for new and existing clients.

We believe that the number of active clients is a key indicator of the overall health of our business. We define an active client as a client who checked out a Fix or was shipped an item via Freestyle in the preceding 52 weeks, measured as of the last day of that period. Clients check out a Fix when they indicate what items they are keeping through our mobile application or on our website. We consider each Women’s, Men’s, or Kids account as a client, even if they share the same household. We had approximately 2,434,000 and 2,989,000 active clients as of November 2, 2024, and October 28, 2023, respectively, representing a year-over-year decline of 18.6%. The decline in active clients is due to dormant clients outpacing new client additions during the quarter, which we largely attribute to client conversion and retention challenges.

To grow our business, we must continue to acquire clients and successfully engage and retain them. Our marketing strategy aims to preserve liquidity and achieve profitability, while simultaneously attracting long-term customers to fuel a return to growth.

Our marketing costs are largely composed of advertising, client referrals, and public relations expenses. At any given time, our advertising efforts may include social media marketing, keyword search campaigns, affiliate programs, partnerships, campaigns with celebrities and influencers, display advertising, television, radio, video, content, direct mail, email, mobile “push” communications, SMS, and search engine optimization. Our marketing expenses have varied from period to period and we expect this trend to continue.

Revenue decreased by $46.0 million, or 12.6% during the three months ended November 2, 2024, compared to the three months ended October 28, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to an 18.6% decline in active clients from October 28, 2023, to November 2, 2024, which led to a decrease in sales of merchandise. Partially offsetting the revenue decline during the three months ended November 2, 2024, was an improvement in net revenue per active client, which was driven by an increase in the average order value due to higher average unit retail prices for Fixes.

The non-cash charges were primarily driven by $12.7 million of stock-based compensation expense; $6.9 million of depreciation, amortization, and accretion; and a $5.0 million change in inventory reserves. The change in net operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to a $26.2 million change in gross inventory balances as we increased purchases in advance of the fall and winter season.
