**VERA BRADLEY ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2026 RESULTS**

*First quarter consolidated net revenues totaled $51.7 million*

*Financial condition remains strong with $86 million in liquidity and no debt*

**<u>FORT WAYNE, Ind., June 11, 2025</u>** – Vera Bradley, Inc. (Nasdaq: VRA) today announced its financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending January 31, 2026 ("Fiscal 2026").

**<u>First Quarter Comments</u>**

Jackie Ardrey, Chief Executive Officer commented, "Our first quarter results were disappointing as top line and profitability trends from the previous several quarters continued. In addition to addressing consumer feedback on product styles and functionality from last summer's relaunch, we remain committed to "being where she shops" and are working on diversification of our wholesale partnerships. While there is significant work to be done on many fronts in order to return the Company's results to a stable and positive growth story, the teams are committed to doing just that."

**<u>Summary of Financial Performance for the First Quarter</u>**

Consolidated net revenues from continuing operations totaled $51.7 million compared to $67.9 million in the prior year first quarter ended May 4, 2024.

For the current year first quarter, Vera Bradley, Inc.'s net loss from continuing operations totaled ($18.3) million, or ($0.66) per diluted share. These results included pre-tax charges of $1.0 million of property, plant, & equipment impairment charges; $1.0 for PO cancellation fees; $1.0 million of professional fees associated with the sale of Pura Vida; $0.3 million of inventory write-offs associated with the sale of Pura Vida; $0.7 million of consulting and professional fees associated with strategic initiatives and shareholder matters; $0.3 million of severance charges; and total tax impact of $3.9 million adjusted to reflect the non-GAAP tax impacts The net-of-tax impact totaled $8.2 million. On a non-GAAP basis, Vera Bradley, Inc.'s first quarter net loss from continuing operations totaled ($10.1) million, or ($0.36) per diluted share.

For the prior year first quarter, Vera Bradley, Inc.'s net loss from continuing operations totaled ($7.6) million, or ($0.25) per diluted share. These results included pre-tax charges of $0.7 million for one-time vendor charges, $0.4 million of severance charges, $0.1 million of consulting and professional fees primarily associated with strategic initiatives, and total tax impacts of ($0.2) million associated with the pre-tax items listed above, resulting in a $1.0 million net-of-tax impact. On a non-GAAP basis, Vera Bradley, Inc.'s first quarter net loss from continuing operations totaled ($6.6) million, or ($0.22) per diluted share.

On March 11, 2025, the Company entered into an Interest Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") to sell one hundred percent (100%) of Creative Genius, Inc., which operates under the name Pura Vida Bracelets. The sale consummated on March 31, 2025. As a result, the operations of Pura Vida have been classified as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements. Prior period amounts have been retrospectively adjusted to conform to the current period presentation. Unless otherwise specified, disclosures in this earnings release reflect continuing operations only.

Following the sale, Pura Vida is no longer included in the Company's consolidated financial results.

**<u>First Quarter Details</u>**

Current year first quarter Vera Bradley Direct segment revenues totaled $43.1 million, a 23.6% decrease from $56.4 million in the prior year first quarter. Comparable sales declined 25.0% in the first quarter, driven by traffic and conversion declines predominantly in our full-line and outlet stores. During the first quarter, the Company also opened two full-line stores and closed two underperforming full-line stores.

Vera Bradley Indirect segment revenues totaled $8.6 million, a 25.6% decrease over $11.5 million in the prior year first quarter. The decrease was primarily related to a decline in specialty and key account orders.

First quarter gross profit totaled $22.8 million, or 44.1% of net revenues, compared to $34.0 million, or 50.1% of net revenues, in the prior year. On a non-GAAP basis, current year gross profit totaled $24.6 million, or 47.5 % of net revenues, compared to $34.8 million, or 51.3% of net revenues in the prior year. The decrease in consolidated gross profit as a percentage of net revenues in the first quarter resulted from channel shift from brick & mortar stores to online sites (which also contributed to increased outbound freight cost).

First quarter consolidated selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expense totaled $40.8 million, or 79.0% of net revenues, compared to $45.1 million, or 66.4% of net revenues, in the prior year. On a non-GAAP basis, current year consolidated SG&A expense totaled $38.3 million, or 74.2% of net revenues, compared to $44.7 million, or 65.7% of net revenues, in the prior year. The decrease in non-GAAP SG&A expense resulted from delivery of cost reduction initiatives along with reduced variable costs.

The Company's first quarter operating loss from continuing operations totaled ($17.9) million, or (34.6%) of net revenues, compared to ($10.6) million, or (15.6%) of net revenues, in the prior year first quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, the Company's current year operating loss from continuing operations totaled ($13.6) million, or (26.3%) of net revenues, compared to ($9.4) million, or (13.8%) of net revenues, in the prior year.

By segment:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Vera Bradley Direct operating loss was ($5.5) million, or (12.9%) of Direct net revenues, compared to operating income of $4.0 million, or 7.1% of Direct net revenues, in the prior year. On a non-GAAP basis, Direct operating loss totaled ($2.8) million, or (6.6%) of Direct revenues, compared to $4.9 million, or 8.6% of Direct net revenues, in the prior year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Vera Bradley Indirect operating income was $2.0 million, or 23.1% of Indirect net revenues, compared to $3.8 million, or 33.2% of Indirect net revenues, in the prior year. On a non-GAAP basis, Indirect operating income totaled $2.2 million, or 26.1% of Indirect net revenues, compared to $3.8 million, or 33.2% of Indirect net revenues, in the prior year.

**<u>Balance Sheet</u>**

Cash and cash equivalents as of May 3, 2025 totaled $11.3 million compared to $43.8 million at the end of last year's first quarter. The Company had no borrowings on its $75 million asset-based lending ("ABL") facility at quarter end.

Total quarter-end inventory was $99.2 million, compared to $101.8 million at the end of last year's first quarter.

Net capital spending for the first quarter totaled $1.8 million compared to $0.9 million in the prior year and was driven by timing of new store openings in the current year period compared to prior year.

**<u>Forward Outlook</u>**

The Company today announced several executive and Board leadership changes (disclosed via separate press release). Given these changes as well as significant uncertainty surrounding the consumer environment, the Company is suspending its forward guidance to allow the new team time to provide input on future strategic and financial expectations.

**<u>Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Measures</u>**

**<u>Non-GAAP Numbers</u>**

The current year non-GAAP first quarter income statement numbers referenced below exclude the previously outlined charges for property, plant, & equipment impairment charges; PO cancellation fees; professional fees associated with the sale of Pura Vida; consulting and professional fees associated with strategic initiatives and shareholder matters; severance charges inventory write-offs associated with the sale of Pura Vida; and the income tax effect related to these items. The prior year non-GAAP first

------

quarter income statement numbers referenced below exclude the previously outlined charges for one-time vendor charges, severance charges, consulting and professional fees primarily associated with strategic initiatives, and the income tax effect related to these items.

The Company's management does not, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Further, the non-GAAP measures utilized by the Company may be unique to the Company, as they may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

The Company believes that the non-GAAP measures presented in this earnings release, including cash usage; gross profit; selling, general, and administrative expenses; operating loss from continuing operations; net loss from continuing operations; and diluted net loss per share from continuing operations, along with the associated percentages of net revenues, are helpful to investors because they allow for a more direct comparison of the Company's year-over-year performance and are consistent with management's evaluation of business performance. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures can be found in the Company's supplemental schedules included in this earnings release.

Consistent with SEC regulations, the Company has not provided a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in reliance on the "unreasonable efforts" exception set forth in the applicable regulations, because there is substantial uncertainty associated with predicting any future adjustments the Company may make to its GAAP financial measures in calculating non-GAAP financial measures.
