Purple Innovation (NASDAQ:PRPL) Issues Earnings Results, Misses Expectations By $1.15 EPS

Purple Innovation (NASDAQ:PRPL) posted its quarterly earnings results on Wednesday. The company reported ($2.41) earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, missing the consensus estimate of ($1.26) by ($1.15), FiscalAI reports. The business had revenue of $96.51 million for the quarter, compared to analysts’ expectations of $105.72 million.

Here are the key takeaways from Purple Innovation’s conference call:

• Third-quarter revenue fell 19% to $96.5 million, with wholesale down 31% and DTC down 9%; management said pressure was especially pronounced among regional and independent retailers. Purple cut its full-year adjusted EBITDA outlook to $15 million–$20 million from $20 million–$25 million, citing lower production volume and manufacturing cost deleverage.
• DTC trends improved as the quarter progressed: sales across August and September rose about 1% year over year, while e-commerce increased about 2%, supported by Amazon and purple.com. Management said website conversion rates improved, though July weakness left full-quarter DTC revenue down.
• Purple is launching refreshed Essentials and Hybrid mattress collections, together representing nearly 90% of mattress unit volume, along with new pillow products. Management said early retailer feedback was strong and expects the products to help re-engage wholesale partners, while acknowledging that a channel recovery will take time.
• Cost reductions and working-capital management helped produce positive operating cash flow for a third consecutive quarter; cash was $28.3 million at quarter-end, up from $24.3 million at year-end 2025. Management expects cash generation to continue in the fourth quarter.
• The company is within six months of its debt maturity and is discussing options with lenders, while a special committee continues evaluating strategic alternatives. Executives did not provide details on the refinancing path or timing.
