Much of this information is subject to assumptions, estimates or third-party information that is still evolving and subject to change. For example, our disclosures based on any standards may change due to revisions in framework requirements, availability of information, changes in our business or applicable government policies, or other factors, some of which may be beyond our control.

SUMMARY RISK FACTORS

Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those described in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. You should carefully consider these risks and uncertainties when investing in our Class A common stock. The principal risks and uncertainties affecting our business include the following:

•Our historical growth may not be sustainable or indicative of future results.

•If we fail to manage the expansion of our business effectively, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

•We have not always been profitable and may not be profitable in the future.

•Our success depends on our ability to maintain the value and reputation of our brand.

•If we fail to attract new customers, retain existing customers, or fail to maintain or increase sales to those customers, our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects will be harmed.

•If our marketing efforts are not successful, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be harmed.

•Our business depends on our ability to maintain a strong community of engaged customers and ambassadors, including through the use of social media. We may not be able to maintain and enhance our brand if we experience negative publicity related to our marketing efforts or use of social media, fail to maintain and grow our network of ambassadors or otherwise fail to meet our customers’ expectations.

•If we do not continue to successfully develop and introduce new, innovative and updated products, we may not be able to maintain or increase our sales and profitability.

•The market for healthcare apparel is highly competitive.

•Our future success depends on the continuing efforts of our key employees and our ability to attract and retain highly skilled team members.

•We plan to expand into additional international markets over time, which will expose us to new and significant risks.

•Shipping is a critical part of our business and changes in, or disruptions to, our shipping arrangements have in the past and may in the future adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

•If we experience problems with our distribution center’s operational infrastructure, our ability to meet customer expectations, manage inventory, complete sales and achieve objectives for operating efficiencies could be harmed.

•If we are unable to accurately forecast customer demand, manage our inventory and plan for future expenses, our results of operations could be adversely affected.

•Consumer confidence, shopping behavior, and spending have been and may continue to be negatively impacted by factors beyond our control, including supply chain disruptions, inflation, tariffs, high interest rates, fear of recession or entry into a recession, geopolitical tensions and military conflicts, and healthcare workforce-related stress, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

•Our reliance on a limited number of third-party suppliers to provide materials for and produce our products could cause problems in our supply chain and subject us to additional risks.

•If proprietary, confidential or sensitive information or personal data about our customers is disclosed, or if we or our third-party providers are subject to real or perceived cyberattacks, our customers may curtail use of our website or mobile app, we may be exposed to liability and our reputation could suffer.

•Our quarterly results of operations have from time to time, and may in the future fluctuate, and if our operating and financial performance in any given period does not meet the guidance that we have provided to the public or the expectations of our investors and securities analysts, the trading price of our Class A common stock may decline.

•The dual-class structure of our common stock, the voting agreement among us and our co-founders, Heather Hasson and Trina Spear, and certain related persons and trusts, and the stockholders agreement among us, Baron Capital Management, Inc. and BAMCO, Inc., may limit or preclude your ability to influence corporate matters, including the election of directors and the approval of any change of control transaction.

•We are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the rules of the New York Stock Exchange and, as a result, qualify for, and rely on, exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. You do not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to such requirements.
