Key Financial Metrics
Actionable Insight
Revenue beat consensus but the Street-tracked Adjusted EPS missed by ~7%, creating a mixed read-through. The return to active customer growth (+1.4% YoY) and 5.2% Adj. EBITDA margin (best Q1 in 5 years) are positive signals, but negative FCF and declining cash reserves warrant caution. Monitor the earnings call for any formal guidance on Q2 and full-year 2026.
