BASIS OF PRESENTATION
On August 28, 2017, we executed a reorganization of our corporate structure. Our original parent company was called Lulu’s Holdings, LLC. This entity was converted to Lulu’s Holdings, L.P. (the “LP”). We formed two new subsidiaries, Lulu’s Fashion Lounge Holdings, Inc. and Lulu’s Fashion Lounge Parent, LLC, to sit between the LP and our operating company. Our operating company, previously known as Lulu’s Fashion Lounge, Inc., was converted from a California corporation to a Delaware limited liability company, Lulu’s Fashion Lounge, LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Lulu’s Fashion Lounge Holdings, Inc. In connection with our initial public offering, the LP was liquidated. Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the terms “Lulus,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company” refer to Lulu’s Fashion Lounge Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Our fiscal year is a “52-53 week” year ending on the Sunday closest in proximity to December 31, such that each quarterly period will be 13 weeks in length, except during a 53-week year when the fourth quarter will be 14 weeks. References herein to “fiscal 2025” and/or “2025” relate to the year ending December 28, 2025 and “fiscal 2024” and/or “2024” relate to the year ended December 29, 2024. The fiscal years ending December 28, 2025 and ended December 29, 2024 consist of 52-weeks.
Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we provide a number of key performance indicators used by management and typically used by our competitors in our industry. These and other key performance indicators are discussed in more detail in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Key Operating and Financial Metrics.” In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we also reference Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Free Cash Flow which are non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America) financial measures. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a discussion of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Free Cash Flow, as well as a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation to non-GAAP Free Cash Flow from net cash provided by operating activities. Net loss is the most directly comparable financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA and net cash provided by operating activities is the most directly comparable financial measure to Free Cash Flow, required by, or presented in accordance with GAAP.

1.Description of Business, Organization and Liquidity
Organization and Business
Pursuant to a reorganization, Lulu’s Fashion Lounge Holdings, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (“Lulus”, “we”, “our”, or the “Company”), was formed on August 25, 2017 as a holding company and its primary asset is an indirect membership interest in Lulu’s Fashion Lounge, LLC (“Lulus LLC”). Prior to the Company’s initial public offering, the Company was majority-owned by Lulu’s Holdings, L.P. (the “LP”). In connection with the Company’s initial public offering, the LP was liquidated.
Lulus LLC was founded in 1996, starting as a vintage boutique in Chico, California that began selling online in 2005 and transitioned to a purely online business in 2008. The LP was formed in 2014 as a holding company and purchased
Impact of Macroeconomic Trends on Business
Changing macroeconomic factors, including inflation, interest rates, student loan repayment resumption, tariffs or bans, world events, wars and domestic and international conflicts, existing and future laws and regulations, directives (including executive orders), and overall consumer confidence with respect to current and future economic conditions have directly impacted our sales as discretionary consumer spending levels and shopping behavior fluctuate with these factors. We have responded to these factors by taking appropriate pricing, promotional and other actions to stimulate customer demand. These factors are expected to continue to have an impact on our business, results of operations, our growth and financial condition.
Liquidity
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025, and March 31, 2024, the Company incurred net losses of $
We are actively seeking alternative debt financing and continuing to take certain cash conservation measures, including adjustments to marketing and other fixed and variable costs and capital spend to meet our obligations as needed. As the ability to raise additional debt financing is outside of management’s control, we cannot conclude that management’s plans will be effectively implemented within twelve months from the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Accordingly, we have concluded that these plans do not alleviate substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

2.Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Fiscal Year
The Company’s fiscal year consists of a 52-week or 53-week period ending on the Sunday nearest to December 31. The fiscal years ending December 28, 2025 and ended December 29, 2024 consist of 52-weeks.
The condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, after elimination of all intercompany balances and transactions. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the requirements of the SEC for interim reporting. As permitted under these rules, certain information and disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 30, 2025 and its results of operations for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024 and its cash flows for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024. The results of operations for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 28, 2025 or for any other future annual or interim period.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 29, 2024 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 27, 2025.
Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies used in preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those discussed in Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2024, except as noted below and within the "Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements" section.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The significant estimates and assumptions made by management relate to sales return reserves and related assets for recovery, lease right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities, income tax valuation allowance, fair value of equity awards and valuation of goodwill and other long-lived assets. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Changes in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements in future periods. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could materially differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Concentration of Credit Risks
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. Such amounts may exceed federally insured limits. The Company reduces credit risk by depositing its cash with a major credit-worthy financial institution within the United States. To date, the Company has not experienced any losses on its cash deposits. As of March 30, 2025, a single wholesale customer represented
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenue primarily from the sale of merchandise products directly to end customers. The sale of products is a distinct performance obligation, and revenue is recognized at a point in time when control of the promised product is transferred to customers, which the Company determined occurs upon shipment based on its evaluation of the related shipping terms. Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the transaction price consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products. The Company’s payment terms are typically at the point of sale for merchandise product sales.
The Company elected to exclude from revenue taxes assessed by governmental authorities, including value-added and other sales-related taxes, that are imposed on and concurrent with revenue-producing activities. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient, relative to e-commerce sales, which allows an entity to account for shipping and handling as fulfillment activities, and not a separate performance obligation. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue for only
Revenue from merchandise product sales is reported net of sales returns, which includes an estimate of future returns based on historical return rates, with a corresponding reduction to cost of sales. There is judgment in utilizing historical trends for estimating future returns. The Company’s refund liability for sales returns is included in the returns reserve on its condensed consolidated balance sheets and represents the expected value of the refund that will be due to the Company’s customers. The Company also has corresponding assets for recovery that represent the expected net realizable value of the merchandise inventory to be returned.
The Company sells stored-value gift cards to customers and offers merchandise credit stored-value cards for certain returns and promotions. Such stored-value cards do not have an expiration date. The Company recognizes revenue from stored-value cards when the card is redeemed by the customer. The Company has determined that sufficient evidence exists to support an estimate for stored-value card breakage. Subject to requirements to remit balances to governmental agencies, breakage is recognized as revenue in proportion to the pattern of rights exercised by the customer, which is substantially within

Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed using net loss attributable to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders represents net loss attributable to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including the effects of any dilutive securities outstanding. Due to the net loss for all periods presented,

Goodwill, Tradename and Intangible Assets
The Company tests for goodwill impairment at the reporting unit level on the first day of the fourth quarter of each year and between annual tests if significant indicators exist that would suggest the Company's goodwill and intangible assets could potentially be impaired. The Company monitors macroeconomic conditions, industry, competitive environment conditions, overall financial performance, reporting unit specific events and market considerations, among others, for events which could trigger the need for an interim impairment analysis.
The Company performed a qualitative assessment of its goodwill, tradename and intangible assets as of March 30, 2025 and determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the reporting unit. As a result, there was

3.Fair Value Measurements
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accounts receivable, accrued expenses, revolving line of credit, goodwill and tradename. As of March 30, 2025 and December 29, 2024, the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their fair value, due to their short-term maturities. As of March 30, 2025, the fair value of the Company’s 2021 Credit Agreement, as amended, (see Note 5, Debt) approximates its carrying value as the stated interest rates reset daily at the daily secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) plus an applicable margin and, as such, approximates market rates currently available to the Company.
The Company performed a qualitative assessment of its goodwill, tradename and intangible assets as of March 30, 2025 and determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the reporting unit and that

On November 12, 2024, the Company entered into a second amendment to the 2021 Credit Agreement (the “Second Credit Amendment”) that extended the Company's reporting deadline for its financial statements and covenant compliance certificate for the third quarter 2024 to December 16, 2024, and required us to test the financial covenants no later than December 16, 2024. It also required that the consolidated total leverage ratio and consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio financial covenants for the third quarter 2024 be tested on the earlier of the date the Company delivers the financial statements and compliance certificate for the third quarter of 2024 or December 16, 2024. The Second Credit Amendment provided that the failure to deliver the financial statements and compliance certificate for the third quarter 2024 within the original time period required by the First Credit Amendment would not constitute an event of default.
The Second Credit Amendment prohibited the Company from requesting any additional borrowing or letter of credit extension until the financial statements and the compliance certificate for the third quarter of 2024 had been delivered. The Second Credit Amendment also revised the applicable interest rates for borrowings for the period commencing on November 12, 2024 as follows: at the Company’s option, the base rate plus

The Third Credit Amendment also requires the payment of certain consent fees and increases the interest rates payable under the First Credit Amendment for periods commencing on or after December 13, 2024 and February 1, 2025, respectively, as follows: (a) in the case of Base Rate Loans, the Base Rate plus (i)

All capitalized terms used above and not otherwise defined herein are defined in the 2021 Credit Agreement, as amended.
During the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025, the Company borrowed
Amounts borrowed under the 2021 Credit Agreement, as amended, are collateralized by all assets of the Company and contains various financial and non-financial covenants for reporting, protecting and obtaining adequate insurance coverage for assets collateralized and for coverage of business operations, and complying with requirements, including the payment of all necessary taxes and fees for all federal, state and local government entities.
Debt Discounts and Issuance Costs
Debt discounts and issuance costs are deferred and amortized over the life of the related loan using the effective interest method. The associated expense is included in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Debt issuance costs related to the 2021 Credit Agreement, as amended, are included in prepaids and other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 30, 2025 and December 29, 2024, unamortized debt issuance costs recorded within prepaids and other current assets were $
6.Leases
The Company is a lessee under various lease agreements. The determination of whether an arrangement contains a lease and the lease classification is made at lease commencement (date on which a lessor makes an underlying asset available for use by the lessee). At lease commencement, the Company also measures and recognizes a right-of-use asset, representing the Company’s right to use the underlying asset, and a lease liability, representing the Company’s obligation to make lease payments under the terms of the arrangement. The lease term is defined as the noncancelable portion of the lease term plus any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. For the purposes of recognizing right-of-use assets and lease liabilities associated with the Company’s leases, the Company has elected the practical expedient of not recognizing a right-of-use asset or lease liability for short-term leases, which are leases with a term of 12 months or less. The Company has multiple finance leases and operating leases that are combined and included in the lease right-of-use assets, lease liabilities, current, and lease liabilities, noncurrent on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company primarily leases its distribution facilities, corporate offices and retail stores under operating lease agreements expiring on various dates through December 2031, most of which contain options to extend. In addition to payment of base rent, the Company is also required to pay property taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance expenses. The Company records lease expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. In early 2025 the Company consolidated two of its distribution facilities by moving operations from its former distribution facility in Chico, California to its existing distribution facility in Ontario, California. During the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025, the Company modified the terms and discount rate of two of its operating leases. As a result of the modification, the Company derecognized the related right-of-use asset and lease liability of $

7.Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation and Other
From time to time, the Company may be a party to litigation and subject to claims incurred in the ordinary course of business, including personal injury and indemnification claims, labor and employment claims, threatened claims, breach of contract claims, and other matters. The Company accrues a liability when management believes information available prior to the issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements indicates it is probable a loss has been incurred as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company adjusts its accruals to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Legal costs are expensed as incurred. Although the results of litigation and claims are inherently unpredictable, management concluded that it was not probable that it had incurred a material loss during the periods presented related to such loss contingencies.
During the normal course of business, the Company may be a party to claims that are not covered by insurance. While the ultimate liability, if any, arising from these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that the resolution of any such claims would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated

Indemnification
The Company also maintains director and officer insurance, which may cover certain liabilities arising from its obligation to indemnify the Company’s directors and officers. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs and has not accrued any liabilities in the condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of these provisions.

The Company’s benefits for income taxes during interim reporting periods has historically been calculated by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full year to “ordinary” income or loss (pre-tax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items) for the reporting period. For fiscal year 2025, due to the uncertain and evolving impacts related to tariffs, the Company believed that using the year-to-date actual operating result was more reasonable. As such, beginning with the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025, the Company’s tax provision for interim periods was determined using a discrete effective tax rate method, as allowed by ASC Topic 740-270, Income Taxes, Interim Reporting.
For the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025, the Company's effective tax rate differs from the federal income tax rate of

Trade Policy and Tariff Uncertainties
Subsequent to March 30, 2025, the United States government imposed significant tariffs on imports from various countries, including Canada, Mexico and China. On April 4, 2025, a global reciprocal tariff program was announced, establishing a minimum 10% tariff on most imported goods. These country-specific tariffs significantly increased, reaching 145% on Chinese imports and 125% on certain U.S. goods imported into China. However, a major development occurred on May 12, 2025, resulting in a 90-day agreement between the U.S. and China to substantially reduce these tariffs. With this agreement, U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports fell from 145% to approximately 30% (including pre-existing tariffs), while Chinese tariffs on some U.S. imports decreased from 125% to 10%. This 90-day period will allow for further negotiations. The potential impact on the Company’s results and financial condition remains uncertain. The Company’s management continues to monitor the impacts of the tariffs on its operations.

During the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025, and March 31, 2024, the Company incurred net losses of $8.0 million and $5.7 million, respectively. As of March 30, 2025, we had total cash and cash equivalents of $8.6 million and $10.1 million in outstanding amounts under the credit agreement with Bank of America for the Company’s revolving facility (“2021 Credit Agreement”), as amended, classified within total current liabilities. During the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025, we borrowed no amounts under the 2021 Credit Agreement, as amended, and repaid $3.0 million of the outstanding balance. Subsequent to March 30, 2025 and through the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company repaid an additional $2.8 million of the revolving line of credit balance and reduced its outstanding letters of credit by $0.3 million. See Note 5, Debt of the accompanying notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on the 2021 Credit Agreement, as amended.
We are actively seeking alternative debt financing and will continue to take certain cash conservation measures, including adjustments to marketing and other fixed and variable costs and capital spend to meet our obligations as needed. As the ability to raise additional debt financing is outside of management’s control, we cannot conclude that management’s plans will be effectively implemented within twelve months from the date the condensed consolidated financial statements
27
are issued. Accordingly, we have concluded that these plans do not alleviate substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Key Operating and Financial Metrics
We collect and analyze operating and financial data to assess the performance of our business and optimize resource allocation. The following table sets forth our key performance indicators for the periods presented.

Active Customers
We define Active Customers as the number of customers who have made at least one purchase across our platform in the prior 12-month period. Active Customer count is measured as of the last day of the relevant period. We consider the number of Active Customers to be a key performance metric on the basis that it is directly related to consumer awareness of our brand, our ability to attract visitors to our primarily digital platform, and our ability to convert visitors to paying customers. Active Customers counts are based on deduplication logic using customer account and guest checkout name, address, and email information.
Average Order Value
We define Average Order Value (“AOV”) as the sum of the total gross sales before returns across our platform in a given period, plus shipping revenue, less discounts and markdowns, divided by the Total Orders Placed (as defined below) in that period. AOV reflects the average basket size of our customers. AOV may fluctuate as we continue investing in the development and introduction of new Lulu’s merchandise and as a result of our promotional discount activity.
Total Orders Placed
We define Total Orders Placed as the number of customer orders placed across our platform during a particular period. An order is counted on the day the customer places the order. We do not adjust the number of Total Orders Placed for any cancellation or return that may have occurred subsequent to a customer placing an order. We consider Total Orders Placed as a key performance metric on the basis that it is directly related to our ability to attract and retain customers as well as drive purchase frequency. Total Orders Placed, together with AOV, is an indicator of the net revenue we expect to generate in a particular period.
Gross Margin
We define Gross Margin as gross profit as a percentage of our net revenue. Gross profit is equal to our net revenue less cost of revenue. Certain of our competitors and other retailers may report cost of revenue differently than we do. As a result, the reporting of our gross profit and Gross Margin may not be comparable to other companies.
28
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We report our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with additional useful information in evaluating our performance and that excluding certain items that may vary substantially in frequency and magnitude period-to-period from net loss provides useful supplemental measures that assist in evaluating our ability to generate earnings and to more readily compare these metrics between past and future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures may be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Free Cash Flow
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net loss before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization adjusted to exclude the effects of equity-based compensation expense and other non-routine expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure used by management to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. We believe that adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results and in comparing operating results across periods. We view Free Cash Flow as an important indicator of our liquidity because it measures the amount of cash we generate.
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements which are prepared in accordance with GAAP, we use “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” (collectively referred to as “Adjusted EBITDA”) and “Free Cash Flow” which are non-GAAP financial measures. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as substitutes for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are several limitations related to the use of our non-GAAP financial measures as compared to the closest comparable GAAP measures. Some of these limitations include:
| ● | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; |
| ● | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; |
| ● | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt; |
| ● | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes; |
| ● | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect certain non-routine expenses that may represent a reduction in cash available to us; |
| ● | Adjusted EBITDA excludes equity-based compensation which has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense in our business and an important part of our compensation strategy. |
| ● | Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and such measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; |
| ● | Free Cash Flow does not represent the total residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes; and |
| ● | Other companies in our industry may calculate such measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. |
29
Due to these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Free Cash Flow should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using these non-GAAP measures only supplementally. As noted in the table below, Adjusted EBITDA includes adjustments to exclude the impact of depreciation and amortization, interest expense, income taxes, equity-based compensation and goodwill impairment. It is reasonable to expect that some of these items will occur in future periods. However, we believe these adjustments are appropriate because the amounts recognized can vary significantly from period to period, do not directly relate to the ongoing operations of our business and may complicate comparisons of our internal results of operations and results of operations of other companies over time. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA includes adjustments for other items that we do not expect to regularly record. Each of the normal recurring adjustments and other adjustments described in this paragraph and in the following reconciliation table help management with a measure of our core operating performance over time by removing items that are not related to day-to-day operations. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as Adjusted EBITDA (as defined above) as a percentage of our net revenue.
The following table provides a reconciliation for Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin:

Free Cash Flow
Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net cash provided by operating activities less cash used for capitalized software development costs and purchases of property and equipment. We view Free Cash Flow as an important indicator of our liquidity because it measures the amount of cash we generate.
A reconciliation to non-GAAP Free Cash Flow from net cash provided by operating activities for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024 is as follows:
| | Thirteen Weeks Ended | | ||||
| | March 30, 2025 | | March 31, 2024 | | ||

Factors Affecting Our Performance
Our financial condition and results of operations have been, and will continue to be, affected by a number of factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including what is discussed below. See Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our 2024 10-K and Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 30, 2025.
Customer Acquisition
Our business performance depends in part on our continued ability to cost-effectively acquire new customers. We define customer acquisition cost (“CAC”) as our brand and performance marketing expenses attributable to acquiring new customers, including, but not limited to, agency costs and marketing team costs but excluding any applicable equity-based compensation, divided by the number of customers who placed their first order with us in a given period. As a primarily digital brand, our marketing strategy is primarily focused on brand awareness marketing and digital advertising in channels like search, social, and programmatic – platforms that enable us to engage our customer where she spends her time, and in many cases also quickly track the success of our marketing, which allows us to adjust and optimize our marketing spend.
Customer Retention
Our continued success depends in part on our ability to retain and drive repeat purchases from our existing customers. We monitor retention across our entire customer base. Our goal is to attract and convert visitors into Active Customers and foster relationships that drive repeat purchases. During the trailing 12 months ended March 30, 2025, we served 2.6 million Active Customers compared to 2.8 million for the trailing 12 months ended March 31, 2024.
Inventory Management
We utilize a data-driven strategy that leverages our proprietary reorder algorithm to manage inventory as efficiently as possible. Our “test, learn, and reorder” approach consists of limited inventory purchases followed by the analysis of proprietary data including real-time transaction data and customer feedback, which then informs our selection and customization of popular merchandise prior to reordering in larger quantities. While our initial orders are limited in size and financial risk and our supplier partners are highly responsive, we nonetheless purchase inventory in anticipation of future demand and therefore are exposed to potential shifts in customer preferences and price sensitivity over time. As we continue to grow, we will adjust our inventory purchases to align with the current needs of the business.
Investment in Our Operations and Infrastructure
We will continue to invest in our operations and infrastructure to facilitate further operational efficiencies and growth of our business, while managing expenses to align with our net revenue expectations and goals to return to profitability. We will continue to set a high bar for any new investments or capital spending initiatives as we believe that a disciplined approach to capital spending will enable us to generate positive returns on our investments over the long term.
Components of Our Results of Operations
Net Revenue
Net revenue consists primarily of gross sales, net of merchandise returns, international duties and taxes and promotional discounts and markdowns, generated from the sale of apparel, footwear, and accessories. Net revenue excludes sales taxes assessed by governmental authorities. We recognize net revenue at the point in time when control of the ordered product is transferred to the customer, which we determine to have occurred upon shipment.
Cost of Revenue and Gross Margin
Cost of revenue consists of the product costs of merchandise sold to customers; shipping and handling costs, including all inbound, outbound, and return shipping expenses; rent, insurance, business property tax, utilities, depreciation and
31
amortization, and repairs and maintenance related to our distribution facilities; and charges related to inventory shrinkage, damages, and our allowance for excess or obsolete inventory. Cost of revenue is primarily driven by growth in orders placed by customers, the mix of the product available for sale on our site, and transportation costs related to inventory receipts from our suppliers. We expect our cost of revenue to fluctuate as a percentage of net revenue primarily due to how we manage our inventory and merchandise mix.
Gross profit is equal to our net revenue less cost of revenue. We calculate Gross Margin as gross profit as a percentage of our net revenue. Our Gross Margin varies across Lulus, exclusive to Lulus, and third-party branded products. Exclusive to Lulus consists of products that we develop with design partners and have exclusive rights to sell across our platform, but that do not bear the Lulus brand. Gross Margin on sales of Lulus and exclusive to Lulus merchandise is generally higher than Gross Margin on sales of third-party branded products, which we offer for customers to “round out” the shopping basket. As we continue to optimize our distribution capabilities and gain more negotiation leverage with suppliers as we scale, our Gross Margin may fluctuate from period to period depending on the interplay of these factors.
Selling and Marketing Expenses
Our selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of payment processing fees, advertising, targeted online performance marketing and customer order courtesy adjustments. Selling and marketing expenses also include our spend on brand marketing channels, including compensation and free products to social media influencers, events, and other forms of online and offline marketing related to growing and retaining the customer base. As discussed in “Net Revenue” above, in any given period, the amount of our selling and marketing expense can be affected by the use of promotional discounts in such period.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll and benefits costs, including equity-based compensation for our employees involved in general corporate functions including finance, merchandising, marketing, and technology, as well as costs associated with the use by these functions of facilities and equipment, including depreciation, rent, and other occupancy expenses. General and administrative expenses are primarily driven by increases in headcount required to support business growth and meet our obligations as a public company.
Since our IPO, we have incurred significant legal, accounting, and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. We expect that compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, as well as rules and regulations subsequently implemented by the SEC, will continue to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly.
Interest Expense
Interest expense consists of interest expense related to the revolving facility under the 2021 Credit Agreement, as amended.
Income Tax Benefit
The benefit for income taxes represents federal, state, and local income taxes. The effective rate differs from the statutory rate primarily due to the establishment of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance as the Company could not provide sufficient positive evidence that the deferred taxes will be more-likely-than-not realized in the future. Our effective tax rate will change from quarter to quarter based on recurring and nonrecurring factors including, but not limited to, enacted tax legislation, state and local income taxes, and tax audit settlements.
The Company regularly assesses the realizability of deferred tax assets and records a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In assessing the realizability of our deferred tax assets, we weigh all available positive and negative evidence. This evidence includes, but is not limited to, historical earnings, scheduled reversal of taxable temporary differences, tax planning strategies and projected future taxable income.
32
Due to the weight of objectively verifiable negative evidence, the Company established a valuation allowance of $14.9 million as of December 29, 2024 and the same position for the period ended March 30, 2025.

Comparisons for the Thirteen Weeks Ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024
Net Revenue
Net revenue decreased in the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025 by $13.1 million, or 17%, compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to a 17% decrease in Total Orders Placed and the impact of lower AOV offset by lower return rates.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue decreased in the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025 by $6.3 million, or 14% compared to the same period of the prior year. The decrease in cost of revenue was primarily driven by the impact of lower revenue, partly offset by higher outbound shipping costs.
33
Gross Profit
Gross profit decreased in the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025 by $6.8 million, or 21% compared to the same period of the prior year which was primarily driven by the impact of the lower volume of sales.
Selling and Marketing Expenses
Selling and marketing expenses decreased in the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025 by $1.8 million, or 10%, compared to the same period of the prior year, due to lower online marketing costs of $1.0 million, lower performance and awareness marketing spend of $0.5 million, and lower merchant processing fees of $0.3 million, partly due to the lower volume of sales.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses decreased in the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025 by $3.1 million or 15%, compared to the same period of the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to a $1.4 million decrease in fixed labor driven by reduced fixed headcount resulting from our cost reduction measures, a $0.5 million decrease in variable labor and benefits associated with lower sales volume, partly offset by temporary ramp up costs related to the consolidation of our West Coast distribution facilities, a $0.5 million decrease in equity-based compensation expense, a $0.5 million decrease in D&O liability insurance and legal and professional fees, a $0.1 million decrease in occupancy primarily related to rent and facility expenses and a $0.1 million decrease in software, supplies and travel.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased in the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025 by $0.2 million, or 51%, compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase is attributable to higher interest rates, partially offset by lower average borrowings.
Income Tax Benefit
Income tax benefit in the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025 decreased by $0.5 million to a benefit of $0.1 million, compared to a benefit of $0.6 million in the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024.
Quarterly Trends and Seasonality
We experience moderate seasonal fluctuations in aggregate sales volume during the year. Seasonality in our business does not follow that of traditional retailers, such as a typical concentration of revenue in the holiday quarter. Our net revenue is typically highest in the second and third quarters due to the increased demand for event dresses in the spring and summer. Net revenue is typically the lowest in the first and fourth quarters when event dresses are less in demand. The seasonality of our business has resulted in variability in our total net revenue quarter-to-quarter. We believe that this seasonality has affected and will continue to affect our results of operations.
Our quarterly gross profit fluctuates primarily based on how we manage our inventory and merchandise mix and has typically been in line with fluctuations in net revenue. When quarterly gross profit fluctuations have deviated relative to the fluctuations in sales, these situations have been driven by non-recurring, external factors, such as global pandemics or trade wars.
Selling and marketing expenses generally fluctuate with net revenue. Further, in any given period, the amount of our selling and marketing expense can be affected by the use of promotional discounts in such period. In addition, we may increase or decrease marketing spend to assist with optimizing inventory mix and quantities.
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll and benefit costs and vary quarter to quarter due to changes in the number of seasonal workers to meet demand based on our seasonality.
34
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources are cash generated from operating activities as we have no further access to borrowings under our 2021 Credit Agreement, as amended. Our primary requirements for liquidity and capital are inventory purchases, payroll and general operating expenses, capital expenditures associated with our distribution facilities, capitalized software and debt service requirements.
Credit Facilities
In November 2021, we entered into the 2021 Credit Agreement that provided for borrowings up to $50.0 million with a maturity date of November 15, 2024.
On July 22, 2024, we entered into an amendment to the 2021 Credit Agreement (the “First Credit Amendment”) which extended the maturity date to August 15, 2025 and reduced the Revolving Commitment (as defined in the 2021 Credit Agreement) to $15.0 million, with a further reduction to $10.0 million on or about March 31, 2025. The First Credit Amendment also reduced the previous letters of credit sublimit from $7.5 million to $5.0 million.
On November 12, 2024, we entered into a second amendment to the 2021 Credit Agreement (the “Second Credit Amendment”) which extended our reporting deadline for our financial statements and covenant compliance certificate for the third quarter 2024 to December 16, 2024, and required us to test the financial covenants no later than December 16, 2024. The Second Credit Amendment prohibited us from requesting any additional borrowing or letter of credit extension until the financial statements and the compliance certificate for the third quarter of 2024 were delivered. We successfully delivered the third quarter financial statements and the compliance certificate on December 16, 2024.
On December 13, 2024, we entered into a third amendment to the 2021 Credit Agreement (the “Third Credit Amendment”). The Third Credit Amendment provided a limited waiver for us to comply with the financial covenants for the period of four fiscal quarters ended on or about September 30, 2024. Under the Third Credit Amendment, we are required to, among other things, not permit unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, as determined on a consolidated basis and tested weekly, to be less than certain specified minimum amounts. The Third Credit Amendment also requires the payment of certain consent fees and increases the interest rates payable under the amended 2021 Credit Agreement for periods commencing on or after December 13, 2024 and February 1, 2025, as described in Note 5, Debt. Pursuant to the Third Credit Amendment, there was no financial covenant test for the quarter ended September 29, 2024.
On March 27, 2025, we entered into a fourth amendment to the 2021 Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Credit Amendment”). The Fourth Credit Amendment provided a limited waiver for us to comply with the financial covenants for the period of four fiscal quarters ended on or about December 31, 2024. It also suspends measurement of the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio and Consolidated Fixed Charge Covenant Ratio for the fiscal quarter ending on or about March 31, 2025. The Fourth Credit Amendment prohibits the Company from requesting any further borrowings under the 2021 Credit Agreement, as amended. The Fourth Credit Amendment includes a timeline of milestones for a refinancing transaction with a third-party lender, and limits our ability to further enter into certain transactions, including certain liens, dispositions, investments, debt and restricted payments. The Fourth Credit Amendment also requires the payment of the remaining portion of the consent fee payable under the Third Credit Amendment and increases the interest rates payable under the 2021 Credit Agreement, as amended, for periods commencing on or after March 27, 2025, as described in Note 5, Debt. Although we have secured these limited waivers, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to satisfy all of the necessary conditions or that we will not incur another covenant violation in the future.
All capitalized terms used above and not otherwise defined herein are defined in the 2021 Credit Agreement, as amended.
During the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025, the Company borrowed no amounts under the 2021 Credit Agreement, as amended, and repaid $3.0 million of the outstanding balance. As of March 30, 2025, the Company had $0.5 million in letters of credit outstanding. The weighted average interest rate on the $10.1 million outstanding balance as of March 30, 2025, was 10.2%, and during the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025, the effective interest
35
rate was 9.4%. For further information on the 2021 Credit Agreement, as amended, see Note 5, Debt of the accompanying notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The Fourth Credit Amendment reduced our Revolving Commitment to $7.5 million on April 30, 2025. Subsequent to March 30, 2025, we repaid $2.8 million of the revolving line of credit balance and reduced our outstanding letters of credit by $0.3 million on or before April 30, 2025. As of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we had $7.3 million outstanding on the revolving line of credit and $0.2 million in outstanding letters of credit. The Fourth Credit Amendment provides for a further reduction of our Revolving Commitment to $6.0 million on May 31, 2025.
Availability and Use of Cash
As of March 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $8.7 million. During the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025, we took certain cost reduction and cash conservation measures, adjustments to marketing spend, and other fixed, variable, and capital spend. We will continue to take certain cost reduction and cash conservation measures to meet our obligations as needed. As the ability to raise additional debt financing is outside of our control, we cannot conclude that our plans will be effectively implemented within twelve months from the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Accordingly, we have concluded that these plans do not alleviate substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments relating to the outcome of this uncertainty. Actual results of operations will depend on numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, as further discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” included in our 2024 10-K and Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 30, 2025.
Repurchases Pursuant to the 2024 Repurchase Program
On May 3, 2024, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program to repurchase up to $2.5 million of our common stock (the “2024 Repurchase Program”). During the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025, we repurchased 242,068 shares of common stock in open market transactions pursuant to a 10b5-1 purchase plan. As of March 30, 2025, there was $1.8 million available under the 2024 Repurchase Program authorization.
The actual timing, number, and value of shares repurchased in the future will be determined at our discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including market conditions, applicable legal requirements, our capital needs, and whether there is a better alternative use of capital. Repurchases will be funded from our existing cash and cash equivalents, or future cash flow. The 2024 Repurchase Program may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time. For further information on the 2024 Repurchase Program, see Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, of the accompanying notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Net increase in cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 4,156 | | $ | 2,983 | |
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities consists primarily of net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation, amortization, equity-based compensation, the effect of changes in working capital and other activities.
36
During the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025, net cash provided by operating activities increased by $1.4 million, as compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to receipt of a $3.4 million income tax refund which consisted of $0.4 million of interest accrued during the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025 and the related $3.0 million of prior year state income tax overpayments that were included in our income tax receivable at the end of fiscal year 2024, a $1.0 million increase in accrued expenses and other current liabilities primarily driven by an increase in return reserve, a $0.5 million increase related to other noncurrent liabilities driven by increased non-current deferred tax liabilities and a $0.2 million timing related increase in accrued inventory. This was partially offset by an increase of $2.4 million in our net loss after adjusting for non-cash items, a $0.6 million increase related to assets for recovery, a $0.3 million increase in accounts receivable pertaining to higher credit card receivables, a decrease of $0.2 million in accounts payable related to the timing of payments related to our credit card payables, and a $0.2 million decrease related to operating lease liabilities.
Investing Activities
Our primary investing activities have consisted of purchases of equipment to support our overall business growth and internally developed software for the continued development of our proprietary technology infrastructure. Purchases of property and equipment may vary from period to period due to the timing of the expansion of our operations. We have no material commitments for capital expenditures.
During the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, net cash used in investing activities increased by $0.4 million. This was attributable to $0.5 million lower capital expenditures for furniture, leasehold improvements, equipment, and construction in progress for our general operations, which was partially offset by $0.1 million invested in capitalized software development costs.
Financing Activities
Financing activities consist primarily of borrowings and repayments related to our revolving facility under our 2021 Credit Agreement, as amended.
During the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025, net cash used by financing activities increased by $0.6 million compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to lower net borrowings of $10.0 million on our 2021 Credit Agreement, as amended, a $0.2 million increase related to the 2024 Repurchase Program and a $0.1 million decrease in proceeds received from issuance of common stock under our ESPP, partially offset by a $9.0 million decrease in repayments on our revolving facility, a $0.4 million increase in finance lease payments and a $0.3 million decrease in withholding tax payments related to vesting of RSUs.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
There have been no other material changes to our contractual obligations and commitments as disclosed in our 2024 10-K.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from our estimates. To the extent that there are differences between our estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be affected.
Our critical accounting policies are described under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our 2024 10-K and the notes to the
37
audited consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in our 2024 10-K. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as disclosed in our 2024 10-K.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies - Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements,” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information about recent accounting pronouncements, the timing of their adoption, and our assessment, to the extent we have made one, of their potential impact on our financial position and our results of operations.
JOBS Act Accounting Election
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period until we are no longer an emerging growth company or until we affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period. Accordingly, our consolidated financial statements and our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
There has been no material change in our exposure to market risk from that discussed in our 2024 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Limitations on effectiveness of controls and procedures
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
38
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We are from time to time subject to various legal proceedings and claims, including employment claims, wage and hour claims, intellectual property claims, contractual and commercial disputes and other matters that arise in the ordinary course of our business. While the outcome of these and other claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the outcome of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations. We are not presently a party to any legal proceedings that we believe would, if determined adversely to us, materially and adversely affect our future business, financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
For detailed information about certain risk factors that could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results see “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our 2024 10-K. Set forth below are material changes to an existing risk factor previously disclosed in the 2024 10-K. Other than the risk factor set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in the 2024 10-K.
International trade disputes and tariffs imposed by the United States and/or other countries’ governments or a global trade war could adversely impact our business.
A predominant portion of the merchandise we sell is originally manufactured in countries other than the United States, including China and Mexico. International trade disputes that result in tariffs and other protectionist or retaliatory measures could adversely affect our business, including disruption and cost increases in our established patterns for sourcing our merchandise and increased uncertainties in planning our sourcing strategies and forecasting our margins. For example, on April 4, 2025, a global reciprocal tariff program was announced, establishing a minimum 10% tariff on most imported goods. Certain country-specific tariffs significantly increased, reaching 145% on Chinese imports and 125% on certain United States goods imported into China. However, on May 12, 2025, the United States and China reached a 90-day agreement to substantially reduce these tariffs and allow for further negotiations. These tariffs may be increased in the future or additional tariffs may be imposed on imports from China or other countries, including additional countries where our products are manufactured or sourced from. The imposition or increase of any such tariffs would likely increase the cost of our merchandise and negatively impact our operating results. Although such changes would have implications across the entire industry, we may fail to effectively adapt to and manage the adjustments in strategy that would be necessary in response to those changes. We are working with our current suppliers to mitigate our exposure to current or potential tariffs and seeking opportunities to engage other suppliers, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to offset any increased costs or secure other suppliers. It is also possible one or more of these suppliers may suffer disruptions in their business or experience significant increases in the cost of their goods or services sold due to factors beyond their control, including changes in the import and export policies, including trade restrictions, new or increased tariffs, sanctions and countersanctions. Further, we may have to increase prices for our customers, which could reduce the competitiveness of our products and adversely affect sales.
Other countries may also change their business and trade policies in anticipation of or in response to the United States’ and/or other countries’ increased import tariffs and other changes in international trade policy and regulations already enacted or that may be enacted in the future. In addition to the general uncertainty and overall risk from potential changes in trade laws and policies, as we make business decisions in the face of such uncertainty, we may incorrectly anticipate the outcomes, miss out on business opportunities, or fail to effectively adapt our business strategies and manage the adjustments that are necessary in response to those changes. These risks could adversely affect our revenues, reduce our profitability, and negatively impact our business.

Amendment to the Company's Non-Employee Director Compensation Program
On April 28, 2025 the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Compensation Committee”) approved an amendment to the Company's Non-Employee Director Compensation Program to (i) eliminate the additional annual RSU award for the Non-Employee Board Chair and increase the applicable cash retainer to $75,000 for the Non-Employee Board Chair, (ii) provide that each award of RSUs may be limited by a share price floor established from time to time by the Compensation Committee, (iii) permit the Compensation Committee to annually determine whether to allow Non-Employee directors to elect to convert all or a portion of their annual retainers into awards of RSUs, (iv) allow for Non-Employee Directors to waive their right to receive compensation under the Non-Employee Director Compensation Program entirely or for a specific period, and (v) permit for cash to be paid in lieu of any RSU grant or portion of any RSU grant under the Non-Employee Director Compensation Program and provide for flexibility relating to the timing of any cash payment or award of RSUs as the Compensation Committee may deem appropriate.
The full text of the Fourth Amendment to the Company's Non-Employee Director Compensation Program is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and incorporated hereto by reference.
One-Time Cash Payment to Directors in Lieu of 2025 Annual RSU Awards
After evaluating the potential dilutive impact of the non-employee director RSU awards pursuant to the Company’s Amended Non-Employee Director Compensation Program, on May 1, 2025, the Board approved a one-time, cash payment of $50,000 to each eligible non-employee director in lieu of his or her $100,000 fiscal year 2025 annual RSU award. This
40
cash payment will be payable on the date of the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders, subject to each non-employee director’s continued service on the Board of Directors through such payment date.

Non-Employee Director Compensation Program
This Lulu’s Fashion Lounge Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) Non-Employee Director Compensation Program (this “Program”) has been adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) under the Company’s Omnibus Equity Plan (the “Plan”) effective as of January 30, 2022 and amended as of November 3, 2023, March 1, 2024, November 1, 2024 and April 28, 2025 (the “Effective Date”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed in the Plan.
Cash Compensation
Effective upon the Effective Date, annual retainers will be paid in the following amounts to Non-Employee Directors:
Board Service
Committee Service
| Chair | Non-Chair |
Audit Committee Member | $20,000 | $10,000 |
Compensation Committee Member | $15,000 | $7,500 |
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Member | $15,000 | $7,500 |
Unless otherwise elected by the Non-Employee Director, as set forth below, all annual retainers will be paid out in cash on a quarterly basis in arrears promptly following the end of the applicable fiscal quarter, but in no event more than 30 days after the end of such quarter. If a Non-Employee Director does not serve as a Non-Employee Director, or in the applicable positions described above, for an entire fiscal quarter, the retainer paid to such Non-Employee Director shall be prorated for the portion of such fiscal quarter actually served as a Non-Employee Director, or in such position, as applicable.

Equity Compensation
Anti-Dilution Protection and Definition of Share Price Floor: To avoid the potentially dilutive impact of target dollar value restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards, each award of RSUs under the Plan that is calculated based on a target dollar value may be limited by a share price floor for Company equity awards, which value shall be established from time to time by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) (the “Share Price Floor”).
Initial RSU Award: | Each Non-Employee Director who is initially elected or appointed to serve on the Board on or after the Effective Date shall be granted an award of RSUs under the Plan, or any other applicable Company equity incentive plan then-maintained by the Company, covering a number of shares of Common Stock calculated by dividing (i) $200,000 by (ii) the average closing trading price of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive trading days ending with the trading day immediately preceding the grant (the “10-Day VWAP”) or the applicable Share Price Floor, whichever is greater (the “Initial RSU Award”). The Initial RSU Award will be automatically granted on the date on which such Non-Employee Director commences service on the Board, and will vest as to one-third of the shares subject thereto on each anniversary of the applicable grant date such that the shares subject to the Initial RSU Award are fully vested on the third anniversary of the grant date, subject to the Non-Employee Director continuing in service on the Board through each such vesting date. |
Annual RSU Award: | Each Non-Employee Director who will continue to serve as a Non-Employee Director immediately following an annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders (an “Annual Meeting”) shall be granted on the date of such Annual Meeting an award of RSUs under the Plan, or any other applicable Company equity incentive plan then-maintained by the Company, covering a number of shares of Common Stock calculated by dividing (i) $100,000 by (ii) the 10-Day VWAP or the applicable Share Price Floor, whichever is greater (the “Annual RSU Award”); provided, that if a Non-Employee Director is first appointed or elected on a date other than the date of an Annual Meeting, then such Non-Employee Director shall be granted automatically on such date of appointment or election under the Plan, or any other applicable Company equity incentive plan then-maintained by the Company, an award of that number of RSUs calculated by dividing (i) the product of $100,000 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from the date of such appointment or election through the anticipated date of the first Annual Meeting following such appointment or election, and the denominator of which is 365, by (ii) the 10-Day VWAP or the applicable Share Price Floor, whichever is greater. The award of RSUs will be automatically granted on the date of the applicable Annual Meeting, appointment or election, and will vest in full on the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the grant date or (ii) immediately before the next Annual Meeting immediately |
Page 2 of 5
following the grant date, subject to the Non-Employee Director continuing in service on the Board through such vesting date. |
Election to Receive Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) In Lieu of Annual Retainers
General: | The Compensation Committee shall determine annually (but not later than December 1 of the year prior to the year in which the annual retainer would otherwise be paid to a Non-Employee Director), in its discretion, whether to allow Non-Employee Directors to elect to convert all or a portion of their annual retainers into awards of RSUs (“Retainer RSU Awards”) granted under the Plan or any other applicable Company equity incentive plan then-maintained by the Company, with each such Retainer RSU Award covering a number of shares of Common Stock calculated by dividing (i) the amount of the annual retainer that would have otherwise been paid to such Non-Employee Director on the applicable payment date by (ii) the 10-Day VWAP or the applicable Share Price Floor, whichever is greater (such election, a “Retainer RSU Election”). Each Retainer RSU Award will be automatically granted five business days after the end of the fiscal quarter for which the corresponding portion of the annual retainer was earned. Each Retainer RSU Award will be fully vested on the grant date. |
Election Method: | Each Retainer RSU Election must be submitted to the Company in the form and manner specified by the Board or its Compensation Committee. An individual who fails to make a timely Retainer RSU Election shall not receive a Retainer RSU Award and instead shall receive the applicable annual retainer in cash. Retainer RSU Elections must comply with the following timing requirements: ● Initial Election for New Non-Employee Directors. Each individual who first becomes a Non-Employee Director after the Effective Date may make a Retainer RSU Election with respect to annual retainer payments scheduled to be paid in the same fiscal year as such individual first becomes a Non-Employee Director, provided the Compensation Committee has determined to allow a Retainer RSU Election for that particular fiscal year (the “Initial Retainer RSU Election”). The Initial Retainer RSU Election must be submitted to the Company on or before the date that the individual first becomes a Non-Employee Director (the “Initial Election Deadline”), and the Initial Retainer RSU Election shall become final and irrevocable as of the Initial Election Deadline. ● Annual Election. Within thirty (30) days of the date that the Compensation Committee determines to allow a Retainer RSU Election for a particular fiscal year, but not later than December 31 of the year preceding the year to which such Retainer RSU Election relates (the “Annual Election Deadline”), each individual who is a |
Page 3 of 5
Non-Employee Director as of immediately before the Annual Election Deadline may make a Retainer RSU Election with respect to the annual retainer relating to services to be performed in the applicable fiscal year (the “Annual Retainer RSU Election”). The Annual Retainer RSU Election must be submitted to the Company on or before the applicable Annual Election Deadline and shall become effective and irrevocable as of the Annual Election Deadline. |
Termination of Service
No portion of an award of RSUs that is unvested at the time of a Non-Employee Director’s termination of service on the Board shall vest thereafter.
Change in Control
Immediately before a Change in Control of the Company, all outstanding equity awards granted under the Plan and any other equity incentive plan maintained by the Company that are held by a Non-Employee Director shall become fully vested and/or exercisable, irrespective of any other provisions of the Non-Employee Director’s Award Agreement.
Reimbursements
The Company shall reimburse each Non-Employee Director for all reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket travel and other business expenses incurred by such Non-Employee Director in the performance of his or her duties to the Company in accordance with the Company’s applicable expense reimbursement policies and procedures as in effect from time to time.
Declining Compensation
A Non-Employee Director may waive their right to receive compensation under this Program entirely or for a specific period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Program, any Non-Employee Director who waives their right to receive compensation under this Program entirely or for a specific period shall not receive any compensation under this Program or in substitution for such waived compensation.
Changes to the Program
The Compensation Committee may amend, halt or resume any compensation payable and/or adjust the timing of any payment or RSU grant under this Program as it deems appropriate and in accordance with U.S. Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. The Compensation Committee may also determine that cash should be paid in lieu of any RSU grant or portion of any RSU grant under this Program as it deems appropriate, provided that such determination is made in accordance with U.S. Internal Revenue Code Section 409A.
Miscellaneous
The other provisions of the Plan shall apply to the RSUs granted automatically under this Program, except to the extent such other provisions are inconsistent with this Program. All applicable terms of the Plan apply to this Program as if fully set forth herein, and all grants of RSUs hereby are subject in all respects to the terms of the Plan. The grant of RSUs under this Program shall be made solely by and subject to the terms set forth in an Award Agreement in a form approved by the Compensation Committee or Board and duly executed by an executive officer of the Company.

LEASE TERMINATION AGREEMENT 1
This Agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into May 8, 2025, by and between Lulu’s Fashion Lounge, LLC, f/k/a Lulu’s Fashion Lounge, Inc., a Delaware company ("Lulus" or "Tenant"), on the one hand, and Hegan Lane Partnership, a California partnership (“HLP” or "Landlord"), on the other hand. Lulus and HLP will sometimes be collectively referred to within this Agreement as the "Parties".
R E C I T A L S
This Agreement is made with reference to the following facts and objectives:
| A. | Landlord and Tenant entered into several Commercial Leases under the terms of which Landlord leased to Tenant and Tenant leased from Landlord that certain real property consisting of approximately 99,954 square feet in a warehouse building at 2812 Hegan Lane, Chico, California, which leases are more particularly described herein. The first is a Commercial Lease Agreement for Units C and F in the 2812 Hegan Lane building, dated October 26, 2016, as amended twice on July 1, 2019, and as further amended December 27, 2022 (collectively with the amendments, the “Units C + F Lease”). The second is a Commercial Lease Agreement for Unit E in the 2812 Hegan Lane building dated November 5, 2019, as amended December 27, 2022 (collectively with the amendment, the “Unit E Lease”). The third is a Commercial Lease Agreement for Unit G in the 2812 Hegan Lane building dated September 24, 2020, as amended December 27, 2022 (as amended, the “Unit G Lease”). The Units C + F Lease, the Unit E Lease, and the Unit G Lease are herein referred to collectively as the “Lease,” and the real property described in the Lease is referred to herein as the “Premises.” Each capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the meaning given to such term in the Lease. |
| B. | The term of the Lease is scheduled to expire December 31, 2025. Landlord and Tenant have agreed to an early termination of the Lease which shall be effective May 16, 2025 ("Termination Date"), subject to the terms and condition set forth in this Agreement. |
| C. | Tenant has vacated the Premises and removed its personal property and effects from the Premises, except for those trade fixtures set forth on the attached Exhibit A. Landlord has examined the Premises and acknowledges the condition of the Premises as of the date of this Agreement. |
1 Certain identified information has been excluded from the exhibit because it is both (i) not material and (ii) is the type that the registrant treats as private or confidential.
| D. | Landlord and Tenant desire to enter into this Agreement for the purpose of agreeing to terminate the Lease; establishing their relative rights, duties and obligations under the Lease up through and including the Termination Date; and establishing their relative rights, duties and obligations following the termination of the Lease. |
| E. | Unless otherwise defined herein, Capitalized terms shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Lease. |
NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties hereby acknowledge and agree as follows:
| 1. | RETURN OF POSSESSION OF PREMISES: Subject to Paragraph 4 hereof, Tenant will surrender and return possession of the Premises to Landlord on or prior to May 16, 2025: (i) in the same condition as exists as of the date of this Agreement, broom cleaned, and free and clear of any other leasehold occupants. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Tenant shall leave all trade fixtures listed on the attached Exhibit A, and all right and title to such trade fixtures shall transfer to Landlord when Tenant surrenders and returns possession of the Premises to Landlord. Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 2 hereof, Landlord acknowledges and agrees that the restoration obligations under the Lease are hereby waived and prior to vacating the premises Tenant shall not be obligated to (i) remove any Lessee Owned Alterations, (ii) remove or replace any Utility Installations, and (iii) remove any other improvements to the Premises. |
| 2. | LEASE TERMINATION: Subject to Paragraph 4 , Landlord and Tenant each acknowledges and agrees that the Lease and all of the Parties' right, title and interest under the Lease and any estate created thereby shall be deemed terminated effective on the Termination Date; provided, however, that the following obligations of the Tenant and/or Landlord shall not be released and shall survive termination of the Lease: (i) Indemnification; and (ii) Tenant's payment of the Lease Termination Fee (as defined below). |
| 3. | LEASE TERMINATION FEE: Subject to Paragraph 4, as consideration for Landlord's execution of this Agreement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a Lease Termination Fee in the sum of $[150,000]. The Lease Termination Fee is payable to Landlord by Tenant on or before the Termination Date and is in lieu of any unpaid rent and other sums accrued under the Lease through the Lease Termination Date. No portion of the Lease Termination Fee is refundable to Tenant under any circumstances. |
| 4. | DISPOSTION OF SECURITY DEPOSIT: Landlord and Tenant agree that Tenant's security deposit in the amount of $[36,689.00] will be applied to the termination fee. Tenant further affirms that no other additional deposits or prepaid rent or other sums are currently to be credited to Tenant's account or refunded to Tenant. |
| 5. | FACTUAL DIFFERENCE: Each of the Parties understands and accepts the risk that the facts, pursuant to which this Agreement is entered, may be different from the facts now known or believed by each such Party to be true. This Agreement shall remain, in all respects, effective and shall not be subject to termination or rescission by virtue of any such difference in fact, absent a showing of intentional fraud by any of the Parties in inducing any other Party to enter into this Agreement. |
| 6. | BINDING EFFECT: This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective heirs, successors, assigns, estates and personal representatives of the Parties. |
| 7. | ENTIRE AGREEMENT: This Agreement is entered into by each of the parties without reliance upon any statement, representation, promise, inducement, or agreement not expressly contained within this Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties and supersedes all prior oral or written agreements concerning termination of the Leases. |
| 8. | MODIFICATIONS: This Agreement shall not be amended or modified except in a writing signed by each of the Parties affected by such amendment or modification. |
| 9. | ATTORNEYS' FEES: If any Party takes any steps to enforce or interpret this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled. |
| 10. | WARRANTY OF NONASSIGNMENT: Tenant warrants that it has not actually or purportedly assigned or transferred to any person or entity not a party to this Agreement all or any portion of its rights in connection with the Lease or Premises or any released matter. Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against any claim, damage, liability, or action arising from any such actual or purported assignment or transfer of claims, including the payment of attorneys' fees and costs actually incurred, whether or not litigation is actually commenced. |
| 11. | NEGOTIATED TRANSACTIONS: The drafting and negotiation of this Agreement has been participated in by each of the Parties. For all purposes, this Agreement shall be deemed to have been drafted jointly by each of the Parties. |
| 12. | COUNTERPARTS; ELECTRONIC EXECUTION. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts (including facsimile signature pages), each of which need not be fully executed by all parties hereto, but all counterparts hereof, taken together, shall be considered one single instrument as if all parties had executed the same counterpart. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Amendment by electronic |
| signature, fax or e-mail transmission of signature shall be equally as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment. |
| 13. | SUCCESSORS: This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their successors and assigns. |
| 14. | AUTHORITY: Any person executing this Agreement on behalf of a corporation, partnership or estate warrants that he or she has been duly authorized by such entity or estate to execute this Agreement on its behalf pursuant to duly adopted resolutions, order or the court or some other document or agreement empowering him or her to do so. |
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
