Computed values are grepcent-computed from the verified facts above and may differ from ratios the company itself reports. Free cash flow = operating cash flow − capital expenditures. Net margin = net income ÷ revenue. Operating margin = operating income ÷ revenue. Revenue YoY = FY2026 revenue ÷ FY2025 revenue − 1 (consecutive fiscal years only). ROE = net income ÷ period-end stockholders' equity.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended May 3, 2026 (“10-Q Report”) and our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2026 (“10-K Report”). This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, such as those set forth under the “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” sections herein and in our 10-K Report, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this 10-Q Report to “Chewy,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us” refer to Chewy, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. 

Investors and others should note that we may announce material information to our investors using our investor relations website (https://investor.chewy.com/), filings with the SEC, press releases, public conference calls and webcasts. We use these channels, as well as social media, to communicate with our investors and the public about our company, our business and other issues. It is possible that the information that we post on these channels could be deemed to be material information. We therefore encourage investors to visit these websites from time to time. The information contained on such websites and social media posts is not incorporated by reference into this filing. Further, our references to website URLs in this filing are intended to be inactive textual references only.

Overview

We are the largest pet e-tailer in the United States, offering virtually every product a pet needs. We launched Chewy in 2011 to bring the best of the neighborhood pet store shopping experience to a larger audience, enhanced by the depth and wide selection of products and services, as well as the around-the-clock convenience, that only e-commerce can offer. We believe that we are the preeminent destination for pet parents as a result of our broad selection of high-quality products and expanded menu of service offerings, which we offer at great prices and deliver with an exceptional level of care and a personal touch. We are the trusted source for pet parents and partners and continually develop innovative ways for our customers to engage with us. We partner with approximately 4,000 of the best and most trusted brands in the pet industry, and we create and offer our own outstanding private brands. Through our websites and mobile applications, we offer our customers approximately 190,000 products, compelling merchandising, an easy and enjoyable shopping experience, and exceptional customer service.

Macroeconomic Considerations

Macroeconomic conditions, including inflationary pressures, elevated interest rates, and broader economic uncertainty, have influenced consumer spending patterns and may continue to affect demand across our categories. We monitor these conditions closely and adjust elements of our logistics, transportation, supply chain, and merchandising strategies as appropriate. Changes in consumer behavior may impact product mix, purchasing frequency, and promotional intensity, and we manage our operations with a focus on maintaining value, service levels, and operational discipline in varying economic environments.

We are unable to predict the duration and ultimate impact of evolving macroeconomic conditions on the broader economy or our operations and liquidity. As such, macroeconomic risks and uncertainties remain. Refer to the section titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this 10-Q Report and the section titled “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our 10-K Report for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2026.

Fiscal Year End

We have a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending each year on the Sunday that is closest to January 31 of that year. Our 2026 fiscal year ends on January 31, 2027 and is a 52-week year. Our 2025 fiscal year ended February 1, 2026 and was a 52-week year.

Key Operating Metrics

Active Customers

As of the last date of each reporting period, we determine our number of active customers by counting the total number of individual customers who have ordered a product or service, and for whom a product has shipped or for whom a service has been provided, at least once during the preceding 364-day period. The change in active customers in a reporting period captures both the inflow of new customers and the outflow of customers who have not made a purchase in the last 364 days. We view the

19

number of active customers as a key indicator of our growth, ability to acquire and retain customers as a result of our marketing efforts, and the value we provide to our customers. The number of active customers has grown over time as we acquired new customers and retained previously acquired customers.

Net Sales Per Active Customer

We define net sales per active customer as the aggregate net sales for the preceding four fiscal quarters, divided by the total number of active customers at the end of that period. We view net sales per active customer as a key indicator of our customers’ purchasing patterns, including their initial and repeat purchase behavior.

Autoship and Autoship Customer Sales

We define Autoship customers as customers in a given fiscal quarter that had an order shipped through our Autoship subscription program during the preceding 364-day period. We define Autoship as our subscription program, which provides automatic ordering, payment, and delivery of products to our customers. We view our Autoship subscription program as a key driver of recurring net sales and customer retention. For a given fiscal quarter, Autoship customer sales consist of sales and shipping revenues from all Autoship subscription program purchases and purchases outside of the Autoship subscription program by Autoship customers, excluding taxes collected from customers, excluding any refunds, and net of any promotional offers (such as percentage discounts off current purchases and other similar offers) for that quarter. For a given fiscal year, Autoship customer sales equal the sum of the Autoship customer sales for each of the fiscal quarters in that fiscal year.

Autoship Customer Sales as a Percentage of Net Sales

We define Autoship customer sales as a percentage of net sales as the Autoship customer sales in a given reporting period divided by the net sales from all orders in that period. We view Autoship customer sales as a percentage of net sales as a key indicator of our recurring sales and customer retention.

Components of Results of Consolidated Operations

Net Sales

We derive net sales primarily from sales of both third-party brand and private brand pet food, pet products, pet health and specialty products, and related shipping fees. Consumable products include retail pet food and veterinary diet products. Hard goods products include non-perishable pet supplies. Pet health and specialty products include prescription medications, non-prescription pet health care products and certain specialty animal products for categories such as equine, birds, fish, and other non-traditional pets. Other net sales include private brand sales and certain pet-related services including telehealth services, pet insurance-related offerings, loyalty program memberships, and veterinary clinic services. Revenues from these service-based offerings are not a significant component of net sales and are managed as part of the Company’s integrated platform rather than as standalone service offerings.

Sales of third-party brand and private brand pet food, pet products, pet health and specialty products, and shipping revenues are recorded when products are shipped, net of promotional discounts and refunds and allowances. Taxes collected from customers are excluded from net sales. Net sales is primarily driven by growth of new customers and active customers, and the frequency with which customers purchase and subscribe to our Autoship subscription program.

We also periodically provide promotional offers, including discount offers, such as percentage discounts off current purchases and other similar offers. These offers are treated as a reduction to the purchase price of the related transaction and are reflected as a net amount in net sales.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold consists of the cost of third-party brand and private brand products sold to customers, inventory freight, shipping supply costs, inventory shrinkage costs, and inventory valuation adjustments, offset by reductions for promotions and percentage or volume rebates offered by our vendors, which may depend on reaching minimum purchase thresholds. Generally, amounts received from vendors are considered a reduction of the carrying value of inventory and are ultimately reflected as a reduction of cost of goods sold.

20

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of fulfillment costs incurred in operating and staffing fulfillment centers, customer service centers, and veterinary clinics; payroll and related expenses for employees involved in general corporate functions, including accounting, finance, tax, legal and human resources; costs associated with the use of facilities and equipment, such as depreciation expense and rent; share-based compensation, professional fees and other general corporate costs.

Fulfillment costs include costs attributable to buying, receiving, inspecting and warehousing inventories, picking, packaging and preparing customer orders for shipment, payment processing, providing pet health services, and responding to inquiries from customers. Included within fulfillment costs are merchant processing fees charged by third parties that provide merchant processing services for credit cards.

Advertising and Marketing

Advertising and marketing expenses consist of advertising and payroll related expenses for personnel engaged in marketing, business development and selling activities.

Interest and Other Income (Expense), net

We generate interest income from our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. We incur interest expense in relation to our borrowing facilities, finance leases, and unrecognized tax benefits.

Our other income (expense), net consists of changes in the fair value of equity warrants, equity investments, tax indemnification receivables, foreign currency transaction gains and losses, and allowances for credit losses on marketable securities.

Income Tax Provision (Benefit)

Income tax provision (benefit) consists of an estimate of federal and state income taxes based on enacted federal and state tax rates, as adjusted for allowable credits, deductions, and the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, as applicable.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our GAAP results, we present certain non-GAAP financial measures that management uses to evaluate operating performance, assess liquidity, and inform capital allocation decisions. These measures include Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income and Adjusted earnings per share, and Free cash flow.

Adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation and related taxes, income tax provision (benefit), interest income (expense), transaction-related costs, changes in the fair value of equity warrants, severance and exit costs, and other items not considered indicative of our core operations. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales.

Adjusted net income a

Key Operating Metrics

Active Customers

As of the last date of each reporting period, we determine our number of active customers by counting the total number of individual customers who have ordered a product or service, and for whom a product has shipped or for whom a service has been provided, at least once during the preceding 364-day period. The change in active customers in a reporting period captures both the inflow of new customers and the outflow of customers who have not made a purchase in the last 364 days. We view the number of active customers as a key indicator of our growth—acquisition and retention of customers—as a result of our marketing efforts and the value we provide to our customers. The number of active customers has grown over time as we acquired new customers and retained previously acquired customers.

Net Sales Per Active Customer

We define net sales per active customer as the aggregate net sales for the preceding four fiscal quarters, divided by the total number of active customers at the end of that period. We view net sales per active customer as a key indicator of our customers’ purchasing patterns, including their initial and repeat purchase behavior.

Autoship and Autoship Customer Sales

We define Autoship customers as customers in a given fiscal quarter that had an order shipped through our Autoship subscription program during the preceding 364-day period. We define Autoship as our subscription program, which provides automatic ordering, payment, and delivery of products to our customers. We view our Autoship subscription program as a key driver of recurring net sales and customer retention. For a given fiscal quarter, Autoship customer sales consist of sales and shipping revenues from all Autoship subscription program purchases and purchases outside of the Autoship subscription program by Autoship customers, excluding taxes collected from customers, excluding any refunds, and net of any promotional offers (such as percentage discounts off current purchases and other similar offers) for that quarter. For a given fiscal year, Autoship customer sales equal the sum of the Autoship customer sales for each of the fiscal quarters in that fiscal year.

Autoship Customer Sales as a Percentage of Net Sales

We define Autoship customer sales as a percentage of net sales as the Autoship customer sales in a given reporting period divided by the net sales from all orders in that period. We view Autoship customer sales as a percentage of net sales as a key indicator of our recurring sales and customer retention.

Components of Results of Consolidated Operations

Net Sales

We derive net sales primarily from sales of both third-party brand and private brand pet food, pet products, pet health and specialty products, and related shipping fees. Consumable products include retail pet food and veterinary diet products. Hard goods products include non-perishable pet supplies. Pet health and specialty products include prescription medications, non-prescription pet health care products and certain specialty animal products for categories such as equine, birds, fish, and other non-traditional pets. Other net sales include private brand sales and certain pet-related services including telehealth services, pet insurance-related offerings, loyalty program memberships, and veterinary clinic services. Revenues from these service-based offerings are not a significant component of net sales and are managed as part of the Company’s integrated platform rather than as standalone service offerings.

Sales of third-party brand and private brand pet food, pet products, pet health and specialty products, and shipping revenues are recorded when products are shipped, net of promotional discounts and refunds and allowances. Taxes collected from customers are excluded from net sales. Net sales is primarily driven by growth of new customers and active customers, and the frequency with which customers purchase and subscribe to our Autoship subscription program.

We also periodically provide promotional offers, including discount offers, such as percentage discounts off current purchases and other similar offers. These offers are treated as a reduction to the purchase price of the related transaction and are reflected as a net amount in net sales.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold consists of the cost of third-party brand and private brand products sold to customers, inventory freight, shipping supply costs, inventory shrinkage costs, and inventory valuation adjustments, offset by reductions for promotions and percentage or volume rebates offered by our vendors, which may depend on reaching minimum purchase thresholds. Generally, amounts received from vendors are considered a reduction of the carrying value of inventory and are ultimately reflected as a reduction of cost of goods sold.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of fulfillment costs incurred in operating and staffing fulfillment centers, customer service centers, and veterinary clinics; payroll and related expenses for employees involved in general corporate functions, including accounting, finance, tax, legal and human resources; costs associated with the use of facilities and equipment, such as depreciation expense and rent; share-based compensation, professional fees and other general corporate costs.

Fulfillment costs include costs attributable to buying, receiving, inspecting and warehousing inventories, picking, packaging and preparing customer orders for shipment, payment processing, providing pet health services, and responding to inquiries from customers. Included within fulfillment costs are merchant processing fees charged by third parties that provide merchant processing services for credit cards.

Advertising and Marketing

Advertising and marketing expenses consist of advertising and payroll related expenses for personnel engaged in marketing, business development and selling activities.

Interest and Other Income (Expense), net

We generate interest income from our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. We incur interest expense in relation to our borrowing facilities, finance leases, and unrecognized tax benefits.

Our other income (expense), net consists of changes in the fair value of equity warrants, equity investments, tax indemnification receivables, foreign currency transaction gains and losses, and allowances for credit losses on marketable securities.

Income Tax Provision (Benefit)

Income tax provision (benefit) consists of an estimate of federal and state income taxes based on enacted federal and state tax rates, as adjusted for allowable credits, deductions, and the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, as applicable.

40

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our GAAP results, we present certain non-GAAP financial measures that management uses to evaluate operating performance, assess liquidity, and inform capital allocation decisions. These measures include Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income and Adjusted earnings per share, and Free cash flow.

Adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation and related ta
