Stitch Fix, Inc. Earnings Per Share Disclosure
| 12. | NET LOSS PER SHARE FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS ATTRIBUTABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS AND COMMON STOCK | ||||
Basic and diluted loss per share from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders is presented in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities: Class A and Class B common stock. The rights of the holders of Class A and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting, conversion, and transfer rights. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share and each share of Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes per share. Each share of Class B common stock is convertible at any time at the option of the stockholder into one share of Class A common stock.
Basic net loss per share from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
For the calculation of diluted loss per share from continuing operations, net loss from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders for basic loss per share is adjusted by the effect of dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, including all potentially dilutive common shares. In periods of loss, there are no potentially dilutive common shares to add to the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. The undistributed losses are allocated based on the contractual participation rights of the Class A and Class B common shares as if the losses for the year have been distributed. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the undistributed loss is allocated on a proportionate basis.
The table below presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted loss per share from continuing operations attributable to Class A and Class B common stockholders:

As the Company has reported net loss from continuing operations for each of the periods presented, all potentially dilutive securities were considered antidilutive. The following common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share from continuing operations because their effect would have been antidilutive for the periods presented:

SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM
In January 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program to repurchase up to $150.0 million of our outstanding Class A common stock, with no expiration date (the “2022 Repurchase Program”). The actual timing, number, and value of shares repurchased in the future will be determined by the Company in its discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including market conditions, applicable legal requirements, our capital needs, and whether there is a better alternative use of capital.
We did not repurchase any shares during the twelve months ended August 2, 2025, or August 3, 2024. As of August 2, 2025, $120.0 million remained available under the 2022 Repurchase Program authorization. Repurchases under the 2022 Repurchase Program during any given fiscal period will reduce the number of weighted-average common shares outstanding for the respective period.About Earnings Per Share Disclosures
The earnings per share disclosure breaks down the calculation from net income to both basic and diluted EPS, revealing the full impact of a company's capital structure on per-share economics. The reconciliation between basic and diluted share counts exposes how many stock options, RSUs, convertible securities, and warrants are potentially dilutive to existing shareholders.
Key signals: a widening gap between basic and diluted shares indicates growing dilution from equity compensation or convertible instruments. Anti-dilutive securities excluded from the diluted calculation deserve attention — they represent latent dilution that will materialize if the stock price rises. Watch for the effect of share buybacks on per-share metrics: EPS growth driven primarily by repurchases rather than income growth signals weakening fundamentals. Compare year-over-year changes in the diluted share count against equity compensation expense to assess whether management is effectively managing dilution.
