Maintaining Full Year 2026 Financial Guidance

MANCHESTER, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bob’s Discount Furniture, Inc. (NYSE:BOBS) (“We”, “our”, the “Company”, “Bob’s Discount Furniture” or “Bob’s”) today announced financial results for the first fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2026.

"I’m incredibly proud of our team’s execution and resilience in the first quarter. Despite adverse weather and broader industry headwinds, Bob’s continued to gain market share, underscoring the strength of our differentiated business model and strategic advantages. Our results reflect the power of our merchandising strategy, omni-channel capabilities, and disciplined approach to new market expansion. As we execute on our long-term strategy of double-digit unit growth and expanding profitability, I'm energized by the tremendous opportunity ahead and confident in our team's ability to deliver sustained success through The Bob's Way."

First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2026

• Net revenue of $578.1 million increased 8.5% from $532.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 driven by new stores and comparable sales growth.
• The Company opened 5 new stores and ended the quarter with 214 stores in 26 states.
• Comparable sales growth of 1.2% was driven by increases in conversion and average order value (“AOV”) in both our retail and eCommerce channels, partially offset by lower in-store traffic, particularly during periods during the quarter that were impacted by the effects of exceptional winter weather.
• Gross profit increased 8.4% to $256.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 due to the impact of higher net revenues. Gross margin remained flat at 44.4% due to favorable product mix shift into the “Better” product category relative to historical levels, lower freight costs and higher protection plan margins, mostly offset by fixed costs associated with our new Midwest regional distribution center and costs related to inventory growth.
• SG&A increased 9.0% to $235.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 due to payroll-related expenses for new stores, higher occupancy costs associated with new and existing stores and an increase in marketing spend. SG&A as a percentage of revenue increased slightly to 40.7% compared to 40.5% in the prior year period due to incremental marketing, occupancy expense associated with new stores and greenfield market expansion and the $2.0 million termination fee associated with the advisory agreement with our controlling stockholder, substantially offset by efficiencies at existing stores.
• Net income of $2.5 million compared to $13.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. Adjusted net income was $11.1 million compared to $14.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025.
• Diluted net income per share of $0.02 compared to $0.12 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. Adjusted diluted net income per share* was $0.09 compared to $0.13 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025.
• Adjusted EBITDA* of $37.6 million or 6.5% compared to $37.3 million or 7.0% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025.

*See Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures below for further information.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

• Total liquidity of $127.1 million, comprised of cash and cash equivalents of $27.7 million and available borrowing capacity of $99.4 million at March 29, 2026.
• Inventories were $336.8 million as of the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, a decrease of 3.8% compared to year end.
• Net cash provided by operating activities was $28.9 million in the year-to-date period, an increase of $25.1 million compared to the prior year, primarily driven by the timing of payments on inventory purchases.
• Investments in capital expenditures, net of tenant allowances of $23.3 million in the year-to-date period was primarily associated with our new store program.

Recent Developments

• During the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, we paid off our Term Loan using proceeds from the initial public offering, cash on hand and borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility.
• On April 29, 2026, we amended our Credit Facility, increasing the maximum availability from $125.0 million to $200.0 million and extending the maturity date to April 2031.

The Company has reaffirmed its guidance for full fiscal year 2026 financial operating results, presented in the table below. Fiscal year 2026 includes 53 weeks. The “53rd week” is expected to deliver $40.0 million in net revenues, $3.5 million in net income and $5.0 million in adjusted EBITDA. The Company has modified full year estimates for fully diluted (“FD”) shares outstanding to approximately 135 million compared to prior estimates of 137 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the results provided in accordance with U.S. GAAP, this earnings release and related tables include adjusted net income, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted net income per share which present operating results on an adjusted basis. We define adjusted net income as net income adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance and the tax effect related to those items. We define adjusted diluted net income per share as adjusted net income divided by weighted average shares outstanding. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, interest income, income tax expense/(benefit), and depreciation and amortization, adjusted for items that are not indicative of the operating performance of the business. We believe that excluding certain items from our GAAP results allows management to better understand our financial performance from period to period. Moreover, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide our stakeholders with useful information to help them evaluate our operating results by facilitating an enhanced understanding of our operating performance and enabling them to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons. We use these non-GAAP measures to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, to evaluate our performance in connection with compensation decisions and to compare our performance against that of peer companies using similar measures. However, our inclusion of these adjusted measures should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or infrequent items or that the items for which we have made adjustments are unusual or infrequent or will not recur. These non-U.S. GAAP measures are not a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentations of these measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and can differ significantly from company to company. These measures should only be read together with the corresponding U.S. GAAP measures. Please refer to the reconciliations of adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA to net income and adjusted diluted net income per share to diluted net income per share, the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, below.
