US-based online furniture and home goods retailer Wayfair reported higher revenue and returned to operating profitability in 2025 despite a slight decline in active customers.

For the fourth quarter ended 31 December 2025, total net revenue increased 6.9% year-on-year (YoY) to $3.33bn, or 7.8% excluding the impact of the company’s exit from the German market.

US net revenue rose 7.4% to $2.94bn while international net revenue was up 3.7% to $395m.

Gross profit for the quarter reached $1.01bn, equivalent to 30.3% of net revenue.

Wayfair recorded operating income of $84m, compared with an operating loss of $117m in the same period a year earlier.

Net loss narrowed to $116m from $128m in the same period last year while net cash from operating activities totalled $202m.

On 31 December 2025, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments stood at $1.50bn, with total liquidity of $1.90bn, including revolving credit capacity.

Active customers were 21.3 million, down 0.5% YoY, while LTM [last twelve months] net revenue per active customer rose 5.6% to $586.

Orders delivered increased 3.7% to 11.1 million.

For the full year, total net revenue grew 5.1% to $12.45bn, or 6.1% excluding the German market exit.

The results reflect revenue growth across both US and international segments and a move to operating profitability despite fewer active customers.

Wayfair CEO, co-founder and co-chairman Niraj Shah said: “2025 was a year where we returned to growth and accelerated throughout the year through a number of organic business strategies that can compound for years to come.

“This was characterised by two important themes: our share capture overwhelming the drag of the macro, and the substantial flow through of that growth to the bottom line.”
