The earnings call reflected a mixed outlook for Vera Bradley. While there were notable achievements in high-income customer growth and successful marketplace performance, significant challenges were evident in declining revenues and profitability. The emphasis on strategic transformation and cost savings provides a positive outlook but is tempered by the current financial performance and economic headwinds.Company Guidance
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, Vera Bradley reported revenues of $100 million, a significant decrease from $133.3 million the previous year, with a net loss of $8.3 million compared to a net income of $3.5 million last year. The company experienced challenges in its direct channel, with a 17.8% revenue decline, compounded by an unexpected shift from outlet store sales to e-commerce. Despite these challenges, Vera Bradley achieved approximately 10% growth among customers aged 18 to 34 with household incomes above $100,000, and saw promising results from its Target Marketplace initiative. The gross margin fell to 45.7% from 52.3%, attributed to a strategic shift in promotional and pricing strategies. For fiscal 2026, the company aims for revenues of approximately $280 million, targeting a gross margin of 52.5% and a significant SG&A expense reduction to $155 million.
