NEW YORK, August 6, 2026. Warby Parker Inc. (NYSE: WRBY) (“Warby Parker” or the “Company”), a direct-to-consumer lifestyle brand focused on vision for all, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.
Highlights
- Delivered revenue growth of 9.8%.
- Drove Active Customer growth of 4.1% to 2.71 million on a trailing 12-month basis, and Average Revenue per Customer of $336, up 6.6% year over year.
- Generated net income of $4.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $32.9 million, which included an $11.8 million benefit from International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) tariff refunds which was partially used to offset investments in the business as the Company prepares for the launch of Intelligent Eyewear.
- Delivered operating cash flow of $29.6 million and Free Cash Flow of $6.8 million, ending the quarter with $292.7 million in cash and cash equivalents.
- Opened 15 net new stores during the quarter, ending Q2 with 352 stores.
“In just a few weeks, we'll unveil our first Intelligent Eyewear collection, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Warby Parker and a whole new way for consumers to see and experience the world. For the past 16 years, we've helped millions of people see more clearly, and now we're seamlessly integrating transformative technology into the frames people already love to wear every day,” said Co-Founder and Co-CEO Dave Gilboa.

Second Quarter 2026 Year Over Year Financial Results
- Net revenue increased $21.0 million, or 9.8%, to $235.5 million.
- Active Customers increased 4.1% to 2.71 million on a trailing 12-month basis, and Average Revenue per Customer increased 6.6% to $336.
- Gross profit was $136.5 million, or 57.9% of revenue, compared to $113.6 million, or 53.0% of revenue, in the prior year. The increase in gross margin was primarily related to an $11.8 million, or 500 basis points, benefit recorded for tariff refunds on inventory sold through June 30, 2026 as well as a 110 basis points benefit from the one-time inventory write-downs in Q2 2025 related to the sunset of the Home Try-On program. These benefits were partially offset by deleverage in fixed expenses related to doctor headcount and occupancy costs, which grew faster than revenue as we opened 15 net new stores. Adjusted Gross Profit was $136.9 million, or 58.1% of revenue, compared to $116.4 million, or 54.3% of revenue, in the prior year.
- Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were $133.3 million, up $15.2 million from the prior year. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A increased by 150 basis points, primarily driven by retail compensation as well as technology costs as we prepare for the launch of Intelligent Eyewear. The increase was partially offset by customer experience efficiencies. Adjusted SG&A was $119.3 million, or 50.6% of revenue, compared to $104.8 million, or 48.9% of revenue, in the prior year.
- Net income increased $6.4 million to $4.6 million, inclusive of the tariff refund benefit.
- Adjusted EBITDA increased $7.9 million to $32.9 million and Adjusted EBITDA Margin increased 230 basis points to 14.0%, inclusive of the tariff refund benefit.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights
- Ended the second quarter of 2026 with $292.7 million in cash and cash equivalents.
- Operating cash flow of $29.6 million and Free Cash Flow of $6.8 million, including $3.4 million of tariff refunds and the associated interest.
2026 Outlook
For the full year 2026, Warby Parker is reaffirming its guidance as follows:
- Net revenue of $959 to $976 million, representing approximately 10% to 12% growth versus full year 2025.
- Adjusted EBITDA of $117 to $119 million, which equates to an Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 12.2% across the revenue range, and 130 basis points of year-over-year expansion.
- Guidance includes a full year $14.4 million tariff refund benefit which was and will be used to offset strategic investments in the business in Q2 and the rest of the year as the Company prepares to launch Intelligent Eyewear. Guidance does not include any revenue contribution or halo benefit from Intelligent Eyewear, but does include known expenses related to the upcoming launch.
- 50 new store openings.
“As we enter one of the most important periods in Warby Parker's history, we're making targeted investments across our business to ensure we're ready for the launch of Intelligent Eyewear and building the capabilities needed to scale this new category over the longer term. We're doing so while maintaining a prudent outlook that excludes Intelligent Eyewear revenue contributions expected later this year,” said Adrian Mitchell, Chief Financial Officer.
The guidance and forward-looking statements made in this press release and on the Company’s conference call are based on management's expectations as of the date of this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Cost of Goods Sold (“Adjusted COGS”), Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses (“Adjusted SG&A”), and Free Cash Flow as important indicators of our operating performance. Collectively, we refer to these non-GAAP financial measures as our “Non-GAAP Measures.” The Non-GAAP Measures, when taken collectively with our GAAP results, may be helpful to investors because they provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance and assist in comparisons with other companies, some of which use similar non-GAAP financial information to supplement their GAAP results.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest and other income, taxes, and depreciation and amortization as further adjusted for asset impairment costs, stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll taxes, amortization of cloud-based software implementation costs, non-cash charitable donations, charges for certain legal matters outside the ordinary course of business, and non-recurring costs such as restructuring costs and major system implementation costs. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue.
Adjusted COGS is defined as cost of goods sold adjusted for stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll taxes and non-recurring costs.
Adjusted Gross Profit is defined as net revenue minus Adjusted COGS. Adjusted Gross Margin is defined as Adjusted Gross Profit divided by net revenue.
Adjusted SG&A is defined as SG&A adjusted for stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll taxes, non-cash charitable donations, charges for certain legal matters outside the ordinary course of business, and non-recurring costs such as restructuring costs and major system implementation costs.
Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities minus purchases of property and equipment.
The Non-GAAP Measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only. A reconciliation of historical GAAP to Non-GAAP financial information is included under “Selected Financial Information” below.
We have not reconciled our Adjusted EBITDA Margin guidance to GAAP net income margin, or net margin, or Adjusted EBITDA guidance to GAAP net income because we do not provide guidance for GAAP net margin or GAAP net income due to the uncertainty and potential variability of stock-based compensation and taxes, which are reconciling items between GAAP net margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin and GAAP net income and Adjusted EBITDA, respectively. Because such items cannot be reasonably provided without unreasonable efforts, we are unable to provide a reconciliation of the Adjusted EBITDA Margin guidance to GAAP net margin and Adjusted EBITDA guidance to GAAP net income. However, such items could have a significant impact on GAAP net margin and GAAP net income.
