August 6 , 2026 Grove COLLABORATIVE Grove Announces Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results SAN FRANCISCO -- ( BUSINESS WIRE ) -- Grove Collaborative Holdings , Inc. ( NYSE : GROV ) ( " Grove " or the " Company " ) , the world's first plastic neutral retailer and a leading sustainable consumer products company , certified B Corporation , and Public Benefit Corporation , today reported financial results for its fiscal second quarter ended June 30 , 2026 . Key Second Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights : • Total Net Revenue was $ 36.6 million , down 16.9 % year - over - year , but up 1.0 % sequentially • Adjusted EBITDA was positive $ 0.5 million , compared to negative $ 0.9 million in the same period last year - the third consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA • Net Loss was $ 0.9 million , compared to a Net Loss of $ 3.6 million in the same period last year • Operating Cash Flow was positive $ 1.3 million , compared to positive $ 1.0 million in the same period last year • Reaffirming full - year Net Revenue guidance of $ 142.5 million to $ 152.5 million and Adjusted EBITDA guidance of breakeven to positive low single digit millions " Second quarter results came in as we expected when we raised our full - year outlook last quarter . Net Revenue grew 1.0 % sequentially to $ 36.6 million , and we delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $ 0.5 million , our third consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA . This reflects the operating discipline we described in the first quarter continuing to play out and it's now showing up clearly in our financial statements . As our strategy continues to take hold , we are continuing to invest in the customer experience to drive long - term profitable growth . In the second quarter , we launched our new subscription experience , designed to give customers a seamless and customized experience that matches their ordering cadence , replacing the last major element of our technology migration from early 2025. While that foundational work is now complete , we will move towards customer - first innovation as we build a unique and defensible customer experience that enables them to build a healthier home for the people they love , " said Jeff Yurcisin , Chief Executive Officer of Grove Collaborative . Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results ( All comparisons are versus the quarter ended June 30 , 2025 except where otherwise noted ) Net Revenue was $ 36.6 million for the quarter ended June 30 , 2026 , a decline of 16.9 % year - over - year , but an increase of 1.0 % compared to the first quarter of 2026. The year-
Page 2
over-year decline was primarily driven by a smaller active customer base entering the year, reflecting the compounding effects of lower advertising investment – consistent with the strategy to prioritize profitability and customer experience improvements before re- accelerating growth – and customer attrition tied to the ecommerce platform disruptions experienced throughout 2025, partially offset by an increase in Direct to Consumer (“DTC”) Net Revenue per Order. The sequential increase was driven by growth from non-DTC channels, primarily QVC and Amazon, partially offset by a slight decline in DTC revenue. Gross Margin was 53.6%, a decrease of 190 basis points compared to 55.4% in the second quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by one-time disposals in the quarter, as well as a sell-through of previously reserved inventory in the prior year that did not reoccur. These decreases were partially offset by a more targeted promotional strategy, enabled in part by the Grove Green Rewards loyalty program launched in the fourth quarter of 2025. Operating Expenses were $20.4 million, a decrease of 27.0% compared to $27.9 million in the prior-year period. The decline reflects lower personnel-related expenses from reduced headcount, lower fulfillment costs driven by lower order volume and lower outbound shipping rates, and lower advertising spend. Net Loss was $0.9 million, or (2.5%) Net Loss margin, compared to a net loss of $3.6 million, or (8.2%) Net Loss margin, in the prior-year period. The year-over-year improvement reflects lower operating expenses, offset by the decline in revenue. Adjusted EBITDA was positive $0.5 million, or 1.3% margin, compared to negative $0.9 million, or (2.1%) margin, in the prior-year period. This marks the third consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA and reflects continued operating discipline as the Company invests in the customer experience. Operating Cash Flow was positive $1.3 million for the quarter, reflecting favorable working capital movements, including a decrease in inventory, and the benefit of non-cash expenses added back to Net Loss. This compares to positive $1.0 million in the prior-year period. Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash totaled $11.4 million as of June 30, 2026, up from $10.4 million as of March 31, 2026, primarily reflecting positive Operating Cash Flow, partially offset by higher capitalized expenditures as a result of continued investment in eCommerce platform enhancements. Second Quarter 2026 Key Metrics : Three Months Ended J une 30, (in thousands, except DTC Net Revenue Per Order) 2026 2025 Financial and Operating Data DTC Total Orders 489 640 DTC Active Customers 509 664 DTC Net Revenue Per Order $ 69.19 $ 65.23 Direct to Consumer (DTC) Total Orders were 489,000, a decline of 23.6% year-over-year. The decrease was primarily driven by a smaller active customer base entering the year, reflecting lower advertising investment relative to prior years and customer attrition associated with the 2025 ecommerce platform disruptions, both of which resulted in fewer new customers and, given the recurring nature of the business, fewer repeat orders.

DTC Active Customers – defined as the number of customers that have placed an order in the trailing twelve months – totaled 509,000 as of June 30, 2026, a decrease of 23.3% year- over-year. The decline is consistent with the factors described above. DTC Net Revenue Per Order was $69.19, an increase of 6.1% year-over-year. The improvement was driven primarily by a larger mix of higher-priced items in customer orders, reflecting the Company’s continued category expansion, as well as greater efficiency in promotional spend following the launch of the Company’s new loyalty program. The year- over-year comparison also benefited from a prior-year test that temporarily increased the volume of smaller value orders, which did not reoccur in the second quarter of 2026. Plastic Intensity 1 – measured as pounds of plastic per $100 in net revenue across all online and retail sales — was 0.84 pounds in the second quarter of 2026, improving from 0.93 pounds in the second quarter of 2025. 2026 Financial Outlook : For the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2026, Grove is reaffirming its full-year guidance. The Company continues to expect full-year net revenue of approximately $142.5 million to $152.5 million, and Adjusted EBITDA of breakeven to positive low single digit millions The Company continues to expect sequential net revenue improvement in each of the remaining quarters of 2026.

_______________ 1 Grove defines plastic intensity as pounds of plastic used per $100 in revenue as a way to hold itself accountable for the pace at which it decouples revenue from the use of plastic. To calculate plastic intensity, Grove defines "plastic" as any of the following materials within both products and packaging: plastic resin codes #1-7 (from the ASTM International Resin Identification Coding System), inclusive of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA, PVOH, PVAl), silicone, bioplastics, and any plastic liners, coatings, and resins. Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains "forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements relating to the plan to move to customer-first innovation; the impact of customer experience changes; sequential net revenue improvement in each of the remaining quarters of 2026; and guidance for 2026, including full year 2026 net revenue and Adjusted EBITDA. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on Grove’s current expectations and beliefs in light of the Company’s experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments and their potential effects on the Company as well as other factors believed to be appropriate under the circumstances. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be those that have been anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond the Company’s control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including changes in business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; legal and regulatory matters and developments; risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information; Grove’s ability to successfully expand its business; competition; risks relating to tariffs, inflation and interest rates; effectiveness of the Company’s ecommerce platform and selling and marketing efforts; demand for Grove products and other brands that it sells and those factors discussed in documents filed, or to be filed, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements in this press release are made as of the date hereof, based on information available to Grove as of the date hereof, and Grove assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Some of the financial information and data contained in this press release, such as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, have not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures, and other measures that are calculated using such non-GAAP measures, are an addition to, and not a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to revenue, operating income, profit before tax, net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Investors should not consider the non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, GAAP measures. A reconciliation of historical Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income is provided in the tables at the end of this press release. Reconciliations of projected Adjusted EBITDA and projected Adjusted EBITDA Margin to the closest corresponding GAAP measures are not available without unreasonable effort on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability, complexity, and
Page 5
low visibility with respect to the charges excluded from these non-GAAP measures, such as the impact of depreciation and amortization of fixed assets, amortization of internal use software, the effects of net interest expense (income), other expense (income), and non- cash stock based compensation expense. Grove believes these non-GAAP measures of financial results, including on a forward-looking basis, provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Grove’s financial condition and results of operations. Grove’s management uses these non- GAAP measures for trend analyses and for budgeting and planning purposes. Grove believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends in and in comparing Grove’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non- GAAP financial measures to investors. Management of Grove does not consider these non- GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of these non- GAAP measures. Other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore Grove’s non- GAAP measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Grove calculates Adjusted EBITDA as net loss, adjusted to exclude: stock-based compensation expense; depreciation and amortization; changes in fair values of derivative liabilities; interest income; interest expense; restructuring costs; transaction related costs related to certain strategic merger & acquisition projects; provision for income taxes and certain litigation and legal settlement expenses that the Company does not consider representative of its underlying operations. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue. Because Adjusted EBITDA excludes these elements that are otherwise included in the Company’s GAAP financial results, this measure has limitations when compared to net loss determined in accordance with GAAP. Further, Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. For these reasons, investors should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation from, or as a substitute for, net loss determined in accordance with GAAP.
