Third Quarter 2021 Results by PRPL– Revealed!
PRPL released third-quarter 2021 results on 9th November 2021 in which the net revenue declined 8.7% to $170.8 million and gross profit came out to be 35.8% which was less than that of 47.2% in 2020. Moreover, EBITDA was $2.4 million in 2018, less than $83.5 million in 2020, owing to the impact of the decrease in the fair value of warrant obligations.
In-depth Analysis – Was the quarter strong or disappointing?
The third-quarter results were unsatisfactory, owing in large part to longer-than-expected effects from manufacturing backlog. The inventory shortage had an impact on the market across all of the linked channels. Delays in planned wholesale expansion and slower re-acceleration of current wholesale door efficiency hit the digital business. Furthermore, PRPL failed to capitalize on possibilities in price and cost management.
While the growth was slow in the third quarter, PRPL is currently on track to meet the strategic objectives, which include adding 270 new wholesale retail locations in the first five weeks of the fourth quarter. In addition, the company is effectively expanding the purple showroom presence, and they are resuming their marketing investment with an all-new brand and awareness-building campaign. Lastly, PRPL will take advantage of price opportunities while continuing to invest in supply chain and production efforts that will boost margins significantly by 2022.
