Strong Finish to FY25 with Q4 Ending Active Subscribers +20.1% YoY; Revenue up 20% YoY
Highest Quarterly Revenue in Company History at $91.7M
RTR Exits FY25 with Transformed Balance Sheet, Improved Inventory Position, Robust Product Roadmap, and Higher Customer Satisfaction.
Expects Double-Digit Revenue Growth in FY26 Led By Continued Product and Inventory Experience Improvements
NEW YORK, April 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rent the Runway, Inc. (“Rent the Runway” or "RTR") (NASDAQ: RENT), the company transforming the way women get dressed, today reported financial results for the fiscal quarter and fiscal year 2025 ended January 31, 2026.
Recent Business Highlights
- Drove Significant Growth in Active Subscriber Base: Ended Fiscal Year 2025 with 143,796 active subscribers, representing a 20% year-over-year increase. This growth was supported by making our largest ever inventory investment last year, which served as the primary lever to driving substantial improvements in subscriber loyalty.
- Record levels of Customer Satisfaction: Achieved 39% year-over-year growth in Subscription Net Promoter Score for fiscal year 2025, which has more than tripled since 2022
- Achieved Significant Success in Subscription Add-ons: Q4 2025 add-on revenue grew by 67% year-over-year, increasing from 40% in Q3, 24% in Q2 and 4% in Q1. We’re aiming to expand on this momentum in 2026 to drive higher revenue per subscriber by expanding membership flexibility, giving her more freedom to get the inventory she wants when she wants it and higher cross-sell across our offerings.
- Launched RTR Marketplace Pilot: In March 2026, we began testing a highly curated purchase destination for wardrobe essentials—including shoes, beauty, and basics—to a subset of loyal subscribers with the goal to drive order "attach rates." According to a 2025 Customer Survey, 86% of respondents expressed interest in purchasing complementary items from Rent the Runway.
- Search and Browsing Experience: We’ve recently launched a series of improvements that make it easier for our customers to find styles to rent. We have a new search algorithm that we launched in February 2026 that has performed approximately 10% better in subscription conversion rate; in December 2025, we launched a new AI-driven similar styles recommendation across our product detail pages (PDPs) and introduced Quick Hearting, a new way of browsing that now powers 28% of her new hearts.
- A Continued Shift to Bold Authenticity in our Marketing Strategy: In 2025 we changed the way we market by leading with our community first, and as of April 2026, we have over 1,900 creators across our community programs. In Q4 2025 our total social audience was up 15% year-over-year and CGC (customer generated content) grew over 3x year-over-year, primarily driven by creator-led content on Instagram and TikTok. Our “Muse” content engine surpassed 13 million impressions in Q4 and has since driven 20 million impressions in February and March 2026 alone. In FY26, we are allocating a portion of our paid media marketing budget to continue to further scale these community-led, organic, word-of-mouth channels.
-
Investing in AI-Driven Discovery in FY26. We are working to transform the customer experience in 2026 from a traditional e-commerce grid to an AI-powered discovery model. We are focused on building an enhanced discovery platform to allow our customer to better search for inventory by being able to browse in outfit groupings, improve conversational search, and view items in robust PDPs with visual versatility, including seeing the item in motion and in her size. We’re also leaning into Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and SEO strategies with a goal of ensuring that Rent the Runway is the top destination for discovery online.
Jennifer Hyman, Co-Founder and CEO of Rent the Runway said: "Last year, we made a calculated bet that increasing our inventory investment was the strongest lever to unlock growth. Today, that strategy has paid off, demonstrated by the significant growth in our subscribers in FY25. Having also strengthened our balance sheet through a strategic recapitalization, I believe that we are operating from our strongest financial position in years. As we enter fiscal year 2026, we plan to continue to evolve, revolutionizing the customer experience by leveraging AI technologies and diversifying our revenue through new streams like our online marketplace and B2B services. We are laser-focused on building a durable, multi-faceted platform that defines the future of fashion."
"FY25 was a pivotal year for Rent the Runway with transformational changes in both our balance sheet and customer experience," said Sid Thacker, Chief Financial Officer of Rent the Runway. "We look forward to continuing to delight our customers and to driving sustainable growth in the years ahead."

Key Business and Financial Metrics
Active Subscribers is defined as the number of subscribers with an active membership as of the last day of any given period and excludes paused subscribers. Total Subscribers represents the number of subscribers with an active or paused membership as of the last day of the period and excludes subscribers who had an active or paused subscription during the period, but ended their subscription prior to the last day of the fiscal period.
Average Active Subscribers is defined as the mean of the beginning of quarter and end of quarter Active Subscribers for a quarterly period; and for other periods, represents the mean of the Average Active Subscribers of every quarter within that period.
Gross Profit is defined as total revenue less costs related to activities to fulfill customer orders and rental product acquisition costs, presented as fulfillment and rental product depreciation and revenue share, respectively, on the consolidated statement of operations. We depreciate owned apparel assets over three years and owned accessory assets over two years, net of 20% and 30% salvage values, respectively, and recognize the depreciation on a straight-line basis and remaining cost of items when sold or retired on our consolidated statement of operations. Rental product depreciation expense is time-based and reflects all rental product items we own. We use Gross Profit and Gross Profit as a percentage of revenue, or Gross Margin, to measure the continued efficiency of our business after the cost of our products and fulfillment costs are included.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and the accompanying tables contain the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow, and free cash flow margin. In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are useful in evaluating our performance and free cash flow and free cash flow margin are useful in evaluating our performance and liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA is a key performance measure used by management to assess our operating performance and the operating leverage of our business prior to capital expenditures. These non-GAAP financial metrics are not meant to be considered as indicators of our financial performance in isolation from or as a substitute for our financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP and should be read only in conjunction with financial information presented on a GAAP basis. There are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP financial metrics presented in this press release. For example, our non-GAAP financial metrics may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial metrics differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude interest expense, rental product depreciation, other depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, write-off of liquidated assets, non-recurring adjustments, non-ordinary course legal fees, restructuring charges, Gain on Debt Restructuring, income tax (benefit) expense, other income and expense, and other gains / losses. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA calculated as a percentage of total revenue, net for a period.
We define free cash flow as net cash used in operating activities and net cash used in investing activities on a combined basis. Free cash flow margin is defined as free cash flow as a percentage of revenue.
The reconciliation of presented non-GAAP financial metrics to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is presented below. We encourage reviewing the reconciliation in conjunction with the presentation of the non-GAAP financial metrics for each of the periods presented. In future periods, we may exclude similar items, may incur income and expenses similar to these excluded items, and may include other expenses, costs and non-recurring items. Reconciliations of free cash flow and Adjusted EBITDA margin expectations for fiscal year 2026 and Q1 2026, respectively, to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are not available without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability, complexity, and low visibility with respect to the charges excluded from these non-GAAP measures, in particular, share-based compensation expense, and non-recurring expenses, which can have unpredictable fluctuations based on unforeseen activity that is out of our control and/or cannot reasonably be predicted.
