Improved Business Momentum with Acceleration in Revenue Growth Led by Stronger Reserve Performance and Continued Growth in Other Revenue.
Return to Subscriber Growth in Q3 2024.
Record Low Cash Consumption for 9 Months Ending Oct 31, 2024.

NEW YORK, Dec. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rent the Runway, Inc. (“Rent the Runway” or "RTR") (NASDAQ: RENT), transforming the way women get dressed by pioneering the world’s first Closet in the Cloud, today reported financial results for the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2024.
Fiscal Third Quarter and Recent Business Highlights
- Improved free cash flow consumption of $9M for the nine months ending October 31, 2024, which is $38M lower than the nine months ending October 31, 2023 and $61M lower than the nine months ending October 31, 2022.
- Fastest Y-o-Y Growth in Reserve orders since Q1 22, which we believe is a result of focus and operational improvements that resulted in increased availability of our highest demanded styles.
- Launched New 1-Shipment Subscription Plan offering customers access to the full RTR Subscription closet of marquee designer brands for $119 per month.
- Significantly improved SEO resulting in new YTD highs in our keyword rankings, which resulted in a sequential quarter over quarter increase in non-branded traffic.
- Launched “Own Nothing, Have Everything” brand campaign in conjunction with RTR’s 15 year anniversary in November, which features the authentic stories of real customers.
- Hired Chief Product Officer to transform product strategy and execute on a customer centric product vision to drive growth.
- Launched Two Season Partnership with Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, aimed at showcasing the diverse and multifaceted lives of the cheerleaders, demonstrating the key role that RTR plays in helping women look and feel their best, and driving brand awareness in key markets.
“Rent the Runway has realigned our company talent and ways of working this year to be laser focused on achieving free cash flow breakeven, significantly increase agility of experimentation and launch cadence, and reaccelerate growth,” said Jennifer Hyman, Co-Founder, President, and CEO of Rent the Runway. “Thus far this year, we’ve driven significant growth in our Reserve and Resale offerings; reduced our costs of customer acquisition and diversified marketing spend towards brand building; and implemented successful inventory and merchandising strategies that we believe have increased customer satisfaction and loyalty rates. We are proud to have achieved this while also significantly improving free cash flow. We believe our business is set up for acceleration across all revenue lines in 2025.”
“Rent the Runway’s underlying business trends have continued to improve in Q3 2024,” said Sid Thacker, Chief Financial Officer, Rent the Runway. “Revenue growth improved for the fourth consecutive quarter and ending Active Subscribers returned to year over year growth. Our Reserve and Resale offerings continued to show improved momentum in Q3. We have also demonstrated, through the first nine months of this fiscal year, an ability to significantly improve free cash flow and drive progress towards our goal to be free cash flow breakeven for FY24. We are now squarely focused on accelerating growth in our Subscription business by listening to customers and making decisions that lay the foundation for stronger growth in FY25 and beyond.”

Key Business and Financial Metrics
Active Subscribers is defined as the number of subscribers with an active membership as of the last day of any given period and excludes paused subscribers.
Average Active Subscribers is defined as the mean of the beginning of quarter and end of quarter Active Subscribers for a quarterly period; and for other periods, represents the mean of the Average Active Subscribers of every quarter within that period.
Gross Profit is defined as total revenue less costs related to activities to fulfill customer orders and rental product acquisition costs, presented as fulfillment and rental product depreciation and revenue share, respectively, on the consolidated statement of operations. We depreciate owned apparel assets over three years and owned accessory assets over two years, net of 20% and 30% salvage values, respectively, and recognize the depreciation on a straight line basis and remaining cost of items when sold or retired on our consolidated statement of operations. Rental product depreciation expense is time-based and reflects all rental product items we own. We use Gross Profit and Gross Profit as a percentage of revenue, or Gross Margin, to measure the continued efficiency of our business after the cost of our products and fulfillment costs are included.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and the accompanying tables contain the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow, and free cash flow margin. In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are useful in evaluating our performance and free cash flow and free cash flow margin are useful in evaluating our performance and liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA is a key performance measure used by management to assess our operating performance and the operating leverage of our business prior to capital expenditures. These non-GAAP financial metrics are not meant to be considered as indicators of our financial performance in isolation from or as a substitute for our financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP and should be read only in conjunction with financial information presented on a GAAP basis. There are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP financial metrics presented in this press release. For example, our non-GAAP financial metrics may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial metrics differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss, adjusted to exclude interest expense, rental product depreciation, other depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, write-off of liquidated assets, non-recurring adjustments, non-ordinary course legal fees, restructuring charges, income tax (benefit) expense, other income and expense, and other gains / losses. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA calculated as a percentage of total revenue, net for a period.
We define free cash flow as net cash used in operating activities and net cash used in investing activities on a combined basis. Free cash flow margin is defined as free cash flow as a percentage of revenue.
The reconciliation of presented non-GAAP financial metrics to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is presented below. We encourage reviewing the reconciliation in conjunction with the presentation of the non-GAAP financial metrics for each of the periods presented. In future periods, we may exclude similar items, may incur income and expenses similar to these excluded items, and may include other expenses, costs and non-recurring items. Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and free cash flow expectations for Q4 2024 and fiscal year 2024 (as applicable) to the closest corresponding GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability, complexity, and low visibility with respect to the charges excluded from these non-GAAP measures, in particular, share-based compensation expense, and non-recurring expenses, which can have unpredictable fluctuations based on unforeseen activity that is out of our control and/or cannot reasonably be predicted.
