“2022 marked the end of our first full year as a public company and while we made important progress, the year came to a challenging close, with results below our expectations due to both execution and macro challenges. We need to improve performance, and are announcing a new transformation plan to reinvigorate the business with an emphasis on profitable growth,” said Joey Zwillinger, Co-Founder and Co-CEO.

The transformation plan focuses on these four key areas: (1) Reignite product and brand, (2) optimize U.S. stores and slow pace of openings, (3) evaluate transition of international go-to-market strategy, (4) improve cost savings and capital efficiency.

The company expects Q1/23 revenue in the range of $45-50M (down 20%-28% year-over-year), below the consensus estimate of $67.1M.

Furthermore, the company announced the appointment of Annie Mitchell as CFO, effective April 24, 2023. She will succeed Mike Bufano, who will remain with the company through mid-May to ensure a smooth transition.
