In other recent news, Warby Parker Inc. reported a robust performance in its third-quarter earnings call, with a significant year-over-year increase in net revenue of $192.4 million, marking a 13.3% growth. This performance led the eyewear company to raise its full-year revenue growth guidance to 14-15% and set a target for approximately $73 million in adjusted EBITDA. The growth was primarily driven by the company's strategic expansion in physical stores and enhancements in its e-commerce platform, alongside successful integration of in-network insurance partnerships.

The company's active customer base increased to 2.4 million, up 5.6% year-over-year, and the average revenue per customer rose by 7.5%. E-commerce revenue grew by 1% year-over-year, with a 35% surge in single vision glasses and contact lens sales. Despite these positive developments, Warby Parker's e-commerce revenue growth and eye exam revenue were below industry averages.

Looking ahead, Warby Parker projects Q4 revenue between $184 million and $187 million and anticipates an adjusted EBITDA margin of 7.3% for Q4. The company plans to continue opening at least 40 stores annually, given the low store density in major markets, and expects multi-year benefits from the partnership with Versant Health.
