Figs, Inc.: Q3 FY2026 earnings call

What management said about Q3 FY2026, from the documents filed with the SEC on 5 November 2026: press release. Guidance figures: 2 raised, 1 new. The quarter’s numbers.

Key takeaways

  • Net revenues rose 25.7%: Net revenues were $190.7 million, up from $151.7 million, which the company attributed mainly to more orders and higher average order value. Nine-month net revenues rose 27.5% to $547.2 million. Source
  • Full-year revenue growth raised: Full-year net revenues growth guidance is now about 23.5%, against approximately 20% in the August release. Source
  • International revenue grew 51.4%: International revenue was $36.8 million, up 51.4%. U.S. revenue grew 20.8% to $153.9 million, and nine-month international revenue grew 56.4%. Source
  • Active customers up 14.3%: Active customers reached 3.2 million at September 30, up 14.3% from 2.8 million. Growth in active customers was 13.2% in the prior quarter. Source
  • Gross margin fell 60 basis points: Gross margin was 69.3%, down 60 basis points. The company cited the prior year's returns processing gains and higher inventory reserves, partly offset by pricing and efficiency. Source
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded: Adjusted EBITDA margin was 16.5% against 12.4% a year earlier, which management linked to leverage across expense lines and to the model. Source

“Our momentum continued in Q3, which marked our fourth straight quarter of greater than 25% net revenues growth, powered by consistent strength across our categories, channels and geographies,”
