The earnings call summary reveals strong financial performance with reduced net debt and inventory, alongside positive free cash flow trends. The Q&A section highlights optimistic management perspectives on international expansion and new collections. Despite tariff challenges, the company maintains a positive outlook, with strategic plans to enhance long-term value.

Revenue Revenue increased 9% in the third quarter and up 18% on a 2-year basis. This growth demonstrates the disruptive nature of the brand despite challenges such as the worst housing market in almost 50 years and the polarizing impact of tariffs.
Adjusted Operating Margin Adjusted operating margin was 11.6%, below the 12.5% midpoint of guidance. The decrease was due to higher-than-forecasted tariff expenses on prior period special order and back order sales delivered in the quarter, as well as higher-than-expected tariffs opening expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin Adjusted EBITDA margin was 17.6%. No specific year-over-year change or reasons for change were mentioned.
Free Cash Flow Free cash flow was $83 million in Q3, with year-to-date free cash flow reaching $198 million. The company is on track to achieve its outlook range of $250 million to $300 million for the year. No specific year-over-year change or reasons for change were mentioned.
Net Debt Net debt at the end of the quarter was $2.427 billion, down $85 million from Q2. The reduction is attributed to ongoing financial management.
Inventory Inventory was down 11% versus last year and down $82 million versus the second quarter. This reduction is part of the company's goal to reduce excess inventory estimated at $300 million.

Construction Costs: Post-COVID construction costs have doubled across the industry, making it more expensive to develop new immersive platforms and retail experiences.
