The quarter delivered net income of $94.8 million, translating to 23 cents per share, representing a significant improvement over the year-ago period’s $62.4 million, or 15 cents per share.
The platform’s active user count expanded 3.6% to reach 21.5 million. Average spending per active customer climbed 2.4% to $597.
Chief Executive Officer Sumit Singh emphasized that Chewy is continuing to capture additional market share and attract fresh customers even as the operating environment becomes more demanding. He reinforced the company’s commitment to enhancing profitability metrics.

While the first quarter exceeded minimal expectations, the company’s forward-looking projections painted a more subdued picture. <a href="https://coincentral.com/chewy-chwy-stock-jumps-13-after-guidance-beats-wall-street-forecasts-time-to-buy/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Chewy</a> lowered its annual net sales projection to a range of $13.4B–$13.55B, down from its earlier forecast of $13.6B–$13.75B. Wall Street analysts had anticipated $13.65B.
For the upcoming second quarter, the company projected adjusted earnings per share of approximately 36 cents on revenue between $3.3B and $3.33B. Analyst expectations called for 40 cents in earnings per share and $3.36B in revenue — representing shortfalls on both metrics.
The company did maintain its projected adjusted EBITDA margin range of 6.6% to 6.8% for the complete fiscal year.
The revised outlook came as little shock to market observers. In the weeks preceding the earnings announcement, Singh had already indicated that consumers were experiencing heightened financial strain compared to early-year conditions.

These pressures had been manifesting throughout the pet industry. <a href="https://coincentral.com/zoetis-zts-stock-drops-20-as-pet-owners-tighten-their-belts/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Zoetis</a>, a prominent animal health enterprise, recently disclosed disappointing quarterly results and lowered its own projections, driving its shares to multi-year lows.

 Zoetis Chief Executive Kristin Peck highlighted “increased price sensitivity” among pet owners — the identical macroeconomic challenge Singh subsequently referenced.

This industry context had created cautious sentiment among investors ahead of Chewy’s quarterly report. While the first-quarter performance wasn’t particularly strong, it at least managed to exceed the modest expectations the market had established.
Chewy reaffirmed its full-year adjusted EBITDA margin target of 6.6% to 6.8%.
