Delivered Q1 Revenue Growth of 43% Year over Year, for a Record $774 million
Delivered Record NRR of 127%, up from 115% in the Prior Year Period
Pattern Group Inc. (NASDAQ: PTRN), a leader in accelerating brands on global ecommerce marketplaces leveraging proprietary technology and AI, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.
"Our Q1 results demonstrate the compounding power of our model at scale," said Dave Wright, Co-Founder and CEO of Pattern. "Revenue grew 43%, NRR reached a record 127%, and both international and non-Amazon revenue more than doubled year over year. As brands deepen their engagement with Pattern and our data advantage grows, their growth accelerates."
"Ecommerce is being reshaped by AI, and we believe this will accelerate global ecommerce penetration while making the landscape increasingly complex for brands. Pattern is built to help brands navigate that complexity and win. Our results are a clear indication that in the midst of a rapidly changing landscape, we are executing successfully at scale. We continue to make strong progress on our technology roadmap and underlying data architecture, and our platform is making us faster and more effective for the brands we serve. Our technology, data, and global scale are compounding, and we enter the rest of 2026 with momentum, a durable model, and a clear view of where ecommerce is going and how Pattern wins in it," said Wright.

Financial Outlook
"We delivered $774 million in revenue and $54 million in adjusted EBITDA, meaningful outperformance driven by broad-based strength across existing brand partners," said Jason Beesley, Chief Financial Officer. "We are raising our full year outlook and now expect revenue in the range of $3.29 to $3.33 billion, representing 32% to 33% growth year over year, and Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $199 to $201 million, representing 30% to 32% growth year over year. Our balance sheet is strong, free cash flow is growing, and the financial profile of this business continues to improve. We are operating from a position of strength heading into the rest of 2026."
For the second quarter 2026, Pattern anticipates:
Revenues in the range of $810 million to $820 million, representing approximately 35% to 37% growth year over year.
Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) in the range of $45 million to $46 million, representing approximately 30% to 33% growth year over year.
For the full year 2026, Pattern anticipates:
Revenues in the range of $3.29 billion to $3.33 billion, representing approximately 32% to 33% growth year over year, up from our prior guidance range of approximately 25% to 26% growth year over year.
Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) in the range of $199 million to $201 million, representing approximately 30% to 32% growth year over year.
See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information on non-GAAP financial measures.

Supplemental Operational Data
We measure our business using both financial and operating metrics to assess the near-term and long-term performance of our overall business, including identifying trends, formulating financial projections, making strategic decisions, assessing operational efficiencies and monitoring our business.
Existing brand partners are brand partners that have been with Pattern for more than twelve months since Pattern first generated over $1,000 in revenue attributable to such brand partner. New brand partners are all other brand partners that are not existing brand partners.
NRR is an important metric to measure the long-term performance of our brand partner relationships. In any given period, we calculate NRR by comparing total revenue attributable to all existing brand partners in the current trailing 12-month period to that of the previous trailing 12-month period. This metric, expressed as a percentage, provides valuable insight into the accelerated growth delivered through our platform, the effectiveness of our brand expansion strategies and our ability to deepen relationships with existing brand partners. For the purpose of our NRR calculation, we only include brand partners that, as of the measurement date, are existing brand partners. Additionally, for those existing brand partners that, as of the measurement date, have been with Pattern for more than twelve full months but less than 24 full months since we first generated over $1,000 in revenue attributable to such brand partner, we only include current period revenue for the corresponding months in the current period for which the brand partner had attributable revenue in the previous period.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We are providing certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release and related earnings conference call, including adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow. We use these non-GAAP measures internally in analyzing our financial results and we believe they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational performance in the same manner as our management and board of directors. We have provided reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in this earnings release. These non-GAAP financial measures should be used in addition to and in conjunction with the results presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures.
We calculate forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA, based on internal forecasts that omit certain amounts that would be included in forward-looking GAAP financial measures. We do not attempt to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to forward-looking GAAP financial measures because forecasting the timing or amount of items that have not yet occurred and are out of our control is inherently uncertain and unavailable without unreasonable efforts. Further, we believe that such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors. Such items could have a substantial impact on GAAP measures of financial performance.
We calculate Adjusted EBITDA, as net income excluding depreciation and amortization; interest income, net; provision for income taxes; share-based compensation expense and related taxes; indirect IPO costs; and other items that we do not consider representative of our underlying operations. We believe it is useful to exclude charges, such as depreciation and amortization and share-based compensation expense from our Adjusted EBITDA because the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations. We believe it is useful to exclude interest income, net; provision for income taxes; and other items that are not components of our core business operations. Non-GAAP financial measures such as Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income or any other measure of financial performance calculated and prescribed in accordance with GAAP. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures in other organizations because other organizations may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner as we do, thus limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities reduced by purchases for property and equipment. We believe free cash flow is a useful measure to evaluate the cash impact of the operations of the business including purchases of property and equipment which are a necessary component of our ongoing operations.
