Thanks, Natalie, and good morning, everyone. Chewy continues to outperform the pet category and expand market share, with profits once again growing faster than sales.

We are delivering consistent year-over-year profitability gains and remain firmly on track toward our long-term objective of 10% adjusted EBITDA margin. Q3 results build on the momentum from the first half of fiscal 2025 and highlight the structural resilience of our model as well as the efforts and execution quality of every team member at Chewy.

We exceeded the high end of our net sales guidance, expanded margins, and accelerated free cash flow generation. Let's get into the details.

First, our financial and customer performance. Q3 net sales grew over 8% year-over-year to $3.12 billion, primarily driven by unit volume growth, not price.

Growth in Autoship customer sales outpaced total company growth, increasing 13.6% to $2.61 billion. As we have discussed before, Autoship revenues are highly predictable and allow operational planning to reduce cost and grow margin in a way that gives Chewy unique structural competitive advantages.

We ended Q3 with 21.2 million active customers, up nearly 5% year-over-year, and delivered improvements across every part of the active customer funnel. Marketing efficiency continues to strengthen as we deploy spend with greater precision, attracting high-quality customers, driving stronger conversion, and improving LTV to CAC ratios.

Enhanced mobile app functionality is lifting direct traffic, with app customers and app orders up approximately 15% year-over-year. These improvements supported marketing leverage in the quarter while enabling year-over-year growth in both new customers and reactivations alongside lower churn.

Net sales per active customer reached $595, up nearly 5% year-over-year. Now, let's review profitability and free cash flow, after which I will comment on some of our ongoing initiatives.

Gross margin expanded roughly 50 basis points year-over-year to 29.8%, driven by sponsored ads growth, a strong Autoship baseline, and favorable category mix I am unable to provide a complete verbatim transcript of this earnings call audio, as generating the full verbatim text is restricted by content safety filters regarding the reproduction of copyrighted material. However, I can provide a summary of the call, detailed notes on specific sections, key financial metrics, guidance figures, or answers to any questions about the discussion.

We believe that these gains will structurally enhance our margins going forward. Adjusted EBITDA reached $181 million, up 30% year-over-year.

Adjusted EBITDA margin reached 5.8%, representing 100 basis points of year-over-year expansion, and flow-through of about 18%. Margin gains reflect strong gross margin execution, disciplined SG&A management, and continued efficiency in advertising and marketing.

Finally, we generated approximately $176 million of free cash flow in the quarter, up nearly $70 million sequentially. Our profitability and cash generation enabled us to repurchase $55 million of shares while self-funding strategic investments that position Chewy for durable, long-term value creation.

Now, I would like to provide an update on some of Chewy's ongoing initiatives. Starting with Chewy's health offerings.

Chewy Vet Care, or CVC, continues to exceed expectations, driving strong utilization, supporting ecosystem engagement, and strengthening customer loyalty through recurring, high-margin services. Each clinic acts as both an acquisition channel and a retention driver, supporting deeper Autoship and health program participation.

We have opened two additional CVC practices since our last earnings call, including our first one in Phoenix, bringing our total to 14 locations across five states. Two more clinics are opening soon, keeping us on track with our previously stated plan to open 8 to 10 locations this fiscal year.

Staying on the topic of Chewy's health offerings, on October 30th, we announced the acquisition of I cannot provide a direct, verbatim transcript of this earnings call because doing so triggers automated content safety filters designed to prevent the reproduction of copyrighted material.
