Q4 Starts with Green Shoots in Revenue and Key Metrics

Bed Bath & Beyond, Inc. (NYSE:BBBY), owner of Bed Bath & Beyond, Overstock, buybuy BABY, and a blockchain asset portfolio, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

The Company delivered its seventh consecutive quarter of measurable improvement towards profitability, driven by consistent progress across key financial and operational metrics.

Net loss narrowed to $4.5 million, a 93% improvement year-over-year, while Adjusted EBITDA loss of $4.9 million improved 85%, underscoring management's continued and accelerated progress to sustainable profitability.

Year-over year, gross margin improved 420 basis points to 25.3%, sales & marketing expense gained efficiency of 260 basis points to 14% of revenue, and technology and G&A expenses decreased by $13 million.

"The third quarter marked substantial progress towards achieving profitability through outstanding metric performance as well as material progress at both tZERO and GrainChain, two important platforms driving our long-term goal of becoming the ‘Everything Home' company," said Marcus Lemonis, Executive Chairman and Principal Executive Officer.

The Company ended the quarter with a strong liquidity position, holding over $200 million in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and inventory, with an additional $36 million in transit from at-the-market offering (the "ATM") settlements post quarter end. During the quarter, the Company:

Invested an additional $3 million in GrainChain, its blockchain supply chain asset;
Purchased the intellectual property of Kirkland's for $10 million; and
Raised $113 million through its ATM, with proceeds intended to strengthen the balance sheet, expand existing investments, and pursue new strategic investments or acquisitions in non-retail, home-centric technology, data, products, services, and select PropTech solutions, all aimed at building out the 'Everything Home' business.

"We have made meaningful financial and operational progress this year," said Adrianne Lee, President and Chief Financial Officer. "For the past seven quarters, we have delivered on our commitment to improve key business metrics critical to achieving profitability. I am pleased with both the narrowing of the year-over-year revenue decline in the quarter and the stabilization of key metrics we achieved. We recognize the necessity to generate more revenue while maintaining our disciplined approach to profitability."

Lemonis concluded, "As the Company prepares for 2026, we expect year-over-year revenue trends to turn positive. We believe this upward trajectory, combined with margin consistency, an additional $20 million in operating expense efficiencies, and improved site conversion, position the Company to achieve its profitability objectives."

Supplemental Operational Data

We measure our business using operational metrics, in addition to the financial metrics shown above and the non-GAAP financial measures explained below. We believe these metrics provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results and provide key performance indicators to track our progress. These indicators include changes in customer order patterns and the mix of products purchased by our customers.

Active customers represent the total number of unique customers who have made at least one purchase during the prior twelve-month period. This metric captures both the inflow of new customers and the outflow of existing customers who have not made a purchase during the prior twelve-month period.

Last twelve months (LTM) net revenue per active customer represents total net revenue in a twelve-month period divided by the total number of active customers for the same twelve-month period.

Orders delivered represents the total number of orders delivered in any given period, including orders that may eventually be returned. As we ship a large volume of packages through multiple carriers, actual delivery dates may not always be available, and in those circumstances, we estimate delivery dates based on historical data.

Average order value is defined as total net revenue in any given period divided by the total number of orders delivered in that period.

Orders per active customer is defined as orders delivered in a twelve-month period divided by active customers for the same twelve-month period.

The following table provides our key operating metrics:

(in thousands, except for LTM net revenue per active customer, average order value and orders per active customer)

	2025		2024
Active customers		4,151		5,961
LTM net revenue per active customer	$	259	$	248
Orders delivered		1,254		1,569
Average order value	$	205	$	199
Orders per active customer		1.30		1.39

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations

We are providing certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release and related earnings conference call, including adjusted diluted net loss per share, adjusted EBITDA, Net revenue excluding the impact from our exit from Canada, and free cash flow. We use these non-GAAP measures internally in analyzing our financial results and we believe they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational performance and, in the case of free cash flow, our liquidity position, in the same manner as our management and board of directors. We have provided reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in this earnings release. These non-GAAP financial measures should be used in addition to and in conjunction with the results presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures.

Adjusted diluted net loss per share is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as net income (net loss) less the income or losses recognized from our equity method securities and the gains or losses on debt securities carried at fair value. We believe that these adjustments to our net income (net loss) before calculating per share amounts for the current period presented provides a useful comparison between our operating results from period to period.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as net income (net loss) before depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, interest and other income (expense), provision (benefit) for income taxes, and special items. We believe the exclusion of certain benefits and expenses in calculating adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis. Exclusion of items in the non-GAAP presentation should not be construed as an inference that these items are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring.

Net revenue excluding the impact from our exit from Canada as a percentage year-over-year is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as net revenue of $257 million for the three months ending September 30, 2025 less $296 million for the three months ending September 30, 2024, divided by the $296 million for the three months ending September 30, 2024. These figures exclude the impacts of Canada for the same periods which were $49 thousand for the three months ending September 30, 2025, and $15 million for the three months ending September 30, 2024. Bed Bath & Beyond, Inc. discontinued sales through their Canadian website on July 4, 2025.

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as net cash provided by or used in operating activities reduced by expenditures for property and equipment. We believe free cash flow is a useful measure to evaluate the cash impact of the operations of the business including purchases of property and equipment which are a necessary component of our ongoing operations.
