    _____________

    (1) Organic Revenue, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP financial measures. See tables below under "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for information on how we calculate and define these non-GAAP financial measures, including a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures.

    Revenue decreased 19.7% to $78.1 million compared to $97.3 million, reflecting the impact of strategic exits under Powering Honest Growth and diaper revenue declines, partially offset by continued growth in wipes and personal care.

    Organic Revenue (excluding Powering Honest Growth exits)(1) increased 3.9% to $78.1 million compared to $75.2 million, driven by growth in wipes and personal care, partially offset by a decline in diaper revenue.

    Tracked channel consumption(2) for the Company increased 8.3% versus 2.6% for the comparative categories in the same period.

    Gross margin was 42.6% compared to 38.7%, reflecting an increase of 390 basis points. This increase was primarily driven by favorable freight, as well as product mix improvements related to strategic exits under Powering Honest Growth(3), partially offset by an increase in tariff costs. Adjusted Gross Margin(1), calculated by excluding the discrete costs of Powering Honest Growth, was 43.5%, reflecting an increase of 480 basis points.

    Operating expenses decreased $1.2 million to $33.9 million. The decrease in operating expenses was driven by a decrease in selling, general & administrative expenses, partially offset by increased marketing investment to support our higher growth, higher margin wipes and personal care platforms. Adjusted Operating Expenses(1), calculated by excluding the discrete costs of Powering Honest Growth, was $33.3 million. Selling, general & administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue increased over 70 basis points mainly driven by a decline in revenue, partially offset by a reduction in third-party apparel service fees and legal expense.

    Net loss of less than $0.1 million compared to net income of $3.3 million primarily related to the discrete costs of Powering Honest Growth. Adjusted Net Income(1) excluding the impact of Powering Honest Growth was $1.3 million.

    Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $4.0 million compared to $6.9 million.

    Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

    As of March 31, 2026, the Company had no debt outstanding and $90.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $17.5 million primarily related to working capital improvements enabled by Powering Honest Growth and inventory reductions versus the prior year period.

    Net cash provided by operating activities was $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $2.9 million in the prior year period.

    During the quarter, the Company repurchased approximately 1.1 million shares of its common stock for approximately $3.0 million at an average price of $2.85 per share. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had approximately $22 million remaining under its share repurchase authorization.

    ______________

    (1) Organic Revenue, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Operating Expenses, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP financial measures. See tables below under "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for information on how we calculate and define these non-GAAP financial measures, including a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures.

    (2) According to Circana, Inc. MULO+ tracked channel consumption data. Reflects consumption in the categories in which the Company competes. Weighted category growth represents retail consumption growth of the categories in which the Company competes, weighted by the Company's category growth for the latest 13 weeks ended March 29, 2026.

    (3) Refer to the table below under "Transformation 2.0: Powering Honest Growth" for additional information on costs incurred in connection with Powering Honest Growth for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

    Reaffirmed Full Year 2026 Outlook

    The Company is reaffirming its full year 2026 financial outlook for revenue, Organic Revenue growth, Adjusted Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA.

    As previously disclosed, the Company's long-term financial algorithm consists of revenue growth of 4% to 6% annually and continued Adjusted EBITDA Margin expansion. Additionally, Organic Revenue(1) excludes revenue from categories and channels exited as part of Powering Honest Growth. Due to the loss of these revenue streams, we anticipate a high-teens percentage decrease in 2026 reported revenue compared to 2025.

    Revenue $306 million to $312 million range (or -18% to -16% compared to prior year)
    Organic Revenue Growth(1) 4% to 6%
    Adjusted Gross Margin Low 40%s
    Adjusted EBITDA(2) $20 million to $23 million range



    Our financial outlook reflects assumptions, including current tariff levels and our tariff mitigation measures, which are subject to change given the macroeconomic environment. Additional information on the Company's strategic plans and long-term financial algorithm can be found in its Investor Presentation on its Investor Relations website at http://investors.honest.com.

    Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    (Unaudited)

    We prepare and present our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. However, management believes that Organic Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Operating Expenses and Adjusted Net Income, which are non-GAAP financial measures, provide investors with additional useful information in evaluating our performance.

    We calculate Organic Revenue as net revenue, adjusted to exclude revenue from exited operations in connection with Powering Honest Growth including: (1) product revenue from our apparel line; (2) revenue from our Honest.com website as a fulfillment center; and (3) revenue from sales to Canadian retailers or channels and (4) in certain periods, revenue from other acquisitions, divestitures and product or channel exits.

    We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income, adjusted to exclude: (1) interest and other (income) expense, net; (2) income tax provision; (3) depreciation and amortization; (4) stock-based compensation expense, including payroll tax; (5) litigation and settlement fees associated with certain non-ordinary course securities litigation claims; (6) executive officer transition expenses; and (7) restructuring-related expenses in connection with Powering Honest Growth. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA Margin by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by revenue.

    We calculate Adjusted Operating Expenses as total operating expenses, adjusted to exclude restructuring expenses in connection with Powering Honest Growth. We calculate Adjusted Net Income as net (loss) income, adjusted to exclude restructuring-related expenses in connection with Powering Honest Growth.

    We calculate Adjusted Gross Margin as gross margin, adjusted to exclude the restructuring-related expenses that are included in cost of revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) in connection with Powering Honest Growth.

    Organic Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Operating Expenses and Adjusted Net Income are financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that Organic Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Operating Expenses and Adjusted Net Income, when taken together with our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating performance and facilitates internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations or outlook. In particular, we believe that the use of Organic Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Operating Expenses and Adjusted Net Income are helpful to our investors as they are measures used by management in assessing the health of our business, determining incentive compensation and evaluating our operating performance, as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes.

    Additionally, we believe Organic Revenue, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Operating Expenses, and Adjusted Net Income are helpful to our investors as these measures adjust for revenue sources that we exited in connection with Powering Honest Growth. We anticipate disclosing these measures until these costs/exited revenue streams are removed from the comparable prior period and when no additional costs are expected to be incurred in connection with Powering Honest Growth.

    Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Some of the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin include that (1) they do not reflect capital commitments to be paid in the future; (2) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the underlying assets may need to be replaced and Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect these capital expenditures; (3) they do not consider the impact of stock-based compensation expense; (4) they do not reflect other non-operating expenses, including interest expense; (5) they do not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us; and (6) they do not include certain non-ordinary cash expenses that we do not believe are representative of our business on a steady-state basis, such as executive officer transition expenses. In addition, our use of Organic Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Operating Expenses and Adjusted Net Income may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate Organic Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Operating Expenses and Adjusted Net Income in the same manner, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. Because of these limitations, when evaluating our performance, you should consider Organic Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Operating Expenses and Adjusted Net Income alongside other financial measures, including our revenue, net (loss) income and other results stated in accordance with GAAP. The following table presents a reconciliation of revenue, the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP, to Organic Revenue, for each of the periods presented:
