CHWY--
Chewy's gross margin improved to 30.4%, up 90 basis points year-over-year (YoY), while adjusted EBITDA rose to $183.3 million, a 26.5% increase from the same period last year [2]. The company expects Q3 net sales between $3.07 billion and $3.10 billion and maintains its full-year guidance [3].
Despite the strong financial performance, Chewy's shares fell due to higher-than-expected earnings estimates. The company's net margin declined to 2.0% from 2.85% in the same period last year, primarily due to the release of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets [2].
Looking ahead, Chewy remains optimistic about its growth trajectory. The company plans to continue investing in infrastructure and technology to support its growing customer base and improve operational efficiency. The Autoship program, which drives a substantial portion of its sales, is expected to see new features and services introduced to cater to the evolving needs of pet parents [1].
Management will host a conference call and webcast to discuss Chewy's financial results today at 8:00 am ET.
