Showroom Revenue Up 16.6% and Comparable Revenue Up 18%

GAAP Net Loss of $3.2 Million in the Second Quarter

Adjusted EBITDA Improves $4.4 Million to $2.1 Million

Regains Compliance with Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Requirement

LEHI, Utah, Aug. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Purple Innovation, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRPL) ("Purple"), a comfort innovation company whose mattresses promise to give you "less pain, better sleep," today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

"The second quarter demonstrated continued progress in the areas we can control, even as industry conditions remained challenging and we fell short of our top-line expectations," said Rob DeMartini, CEO of Purple Innovation. "Our direct-to-consumer business grew, led by another strong quarter in showrooms, while e-commerce trends improved sequentially for the third consecutive quarter. GAAP Net Loss and Adjusted EBITDA improved compared with last year, including the benefit from tariff refunds."

"These results reinforce that Purple is operating from a stronger and more disciplined foundation. We remain focused on helping consumers better understand why the GelFlex Grid is different, strengthening the experience across our direct channels, advancing our innovation pipeline and maintaining the cost discipline that is supporting improved profitability and cash generation in a difficult demand environment."

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Second quarter 2026 net revenue was $98.3 million, down 6.5% compared to $105.1 million in the second quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by lower wholesale revenue, partially offset by strong growth in showroom revenue.

Direct-to-consumer revenue increased 3.4%, reflecting a 16.6% increase in showroom revenue and a 1.4% decrease in e-commerce revenue. Wholesale revenue decreased 19.1% to $37.4 million, compared with $46.2 million in the prior-year period. The decrease reflected a $5.3 million increase in certain payments to customers and a manufacturer under common control and a $3.5 million decrease in wholesale sales volume related to lower industry demand.

Gross profit increased 4.5% to $44.4 million, compared to $42.5 million in the prior-year period. Gross margin was 45.2%, an increase of approximately 470 basis points year-over-year, primarily due to the $5.3 million tariff refund.

Beginning in the second quarter of 2026, the Company changed the presentation of costs associated with merchant credit-card processing fees and third-party consumer-financing fees from being presented in cost of revenues to now being presented in marketing and sales costs. Prior periods have been revised to conform to the current presentation. This reclassification had no impact on previously reported revenue, operating loss, net loss, adjusted EBITDA or cash flow. The reclassification increases GAAP gross margin in the second quarter by approximately 500 basis points, with a corresponding 500 basis point increase in marketing and sales expense.

Second quarter operating expenses were $48.7 million, down approximately 14.3% from the prior-year quarter. The improvement was primarily driven by the absence of restructuring related costs incurred in the prior year period, lower employee related expenses and professional services and all other operating expenses, partially offset by an increase in advertising spending.

GAAP Net Loss for the second quarter was $3.2 million, a $14.1 million improvement versus the prior period.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was $2.1 million, an improvement of $4.4 million from an adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.4 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. See discussion under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for additional information.

Balance Sheet
The Company ended the second quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $23.3 million, compared with $24.3 million as of December 31, 2025.

Net inventories as of June 30, 2026, totaled $55.4 million, down 7.2% compared to December 31, 2025. Cashflow from operating activities YTD as of June 30, 2026 was $3.6M, a $30.7 million improvement over the prior year's same period.

Nasdaq Listing Update
Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, Purple Innovation has received written notification from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC confirming that the Company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). Accordingly, the previously disclosed bid price deficiency matter has been closed.

2026 Outlook
Given the continued softness in the category, particularly in wholesale, we are lowering our revenue guidance in the range of $420 million to $440 million. Importantly, the continued strength of our DTC business, coupled with our cost discipline, gives us confidence in our ability to deliver adjusted EBITDA of $20 million to $25 million for fiscal 2026.

Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements made in this release that are not historical facts are "forward looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements based on historical data are not intended and should not be understood to indicate the Company's expectations regarding future events. Forward-looking statements provide current expectations or forecasts of future events or determinations. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our innovation pipeline, our ability to improve profitability, manage costs, generate cash, and optimize our business, the expansion of and benefits to us from our commercial relationships, our ability to drive profitable growth and create shareholder value, and our outlook for revenue and adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2026. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, conditions or results, and involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside the Company's control, that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could influence the realization of forward-looking statements include, among others: changes in economic, financial and end-market conditions in the markets in which we operate; fluctuations in raw material prices and cost of labor; the financial condition of our customers and suppliers; competitive pressures, including the need for technology improvement, successful new product development and introduction; changes in consumer demand, including pullbacks in consumer spending; disruptions to our manufacturing processes; and the risk factors outlined in the "Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 25, 2026, and in our other filings made with the SEC. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net loss, and adjusted net loss per diluted share are non-GAAP financial measures that remove the impact of certain non-cash and non-recurring costs. Management believes that the use of such non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with additional useful information with respect to the impact of various adjustments, which we view as a better measure of our operating performance. Refer to the attached table for the reconciliation of such non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measure.

With respect to the Company's adjusted EBITDA outlook for the full year 2026, a quantitative reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP information cannot be provided without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty of accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the various adjusting items necessary for such reconciliation that have not yet occurred, are out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted, including but not limited to warrant liabilities and stock-based compensation. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a material impact on its future GAAP financial results.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURES
(In thousands)

Management believes that the use of the following non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with additional useful information with respect to the impact of various adjustments, which we view as a better measure of our operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per diluted share. Other companies may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently than we do. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for our financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income (Loss) to Non-GAAP EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

A reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) to the non-GAAP measures of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA is provided below. EBITDA represents net loss before interest expense, income tax expense, other income, net, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA excluding costs incurred due to changes in the fair value of the warrant liability, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring related charges, nonrecurring legal fees, strategic alternative costs, severance cost and showroom opening and closing costs. We believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide additional useful information with respect to the impact of various adjustments and provide meaningful measures of our operating performance.

Reconciliation of GAAP Net Loss to non-GAAP Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss per Diluted Share

Our presentation of adjusted net loss assumes that all net loss is attributable to Purple Innovation, Inc. (i.e. there is no allocation of net loss to noncontrolling interests), which assumes the full exchange at the beginning of the period of all outstanding Paired Securities for shares of Class A common stock of Purple Innovation, Inc., adjusted for certain nonrecurring items that we do not believe directly reflect our core operations. Adjusted net loss per share, diluted, is calculated by dividing adjusted net loss by the total shares of Class A common stock outstanding plus any dilutive warrants, options and restricted stock as calculated in accordance with GAAP and assuming the full exchange of all outstanding Paired Securities as of the beginning of each period presented. Adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per diluted share, are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent, and should not be considered, alternatives to net loss and earnings per share, as calculated in accordance with GAAP. We believe adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per diluted share, supplement GAAP measures and enable us to more effectively evaluate our performance period-over-period. A reconciliation of net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to adjusted net loss and the computation of adjusted net loss per diluted share, are set forth below:
