Summary
TheRealReal reported strong first-quarter results, with revenue increasing 19% year-over-year to $190 million, surpassing analyst estimates of $188.39 million. Adjusted EBITDA significantly improved to $13.1 million from $4.1 million a year prior, demonstrating enhanced profitability. Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV) also rose 24%, driven by a 10% increase in active buyers, particularly from Gen Z and Millennial demographics, and a 15% rise in average order value.
