Quality

61

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Quality research reads 61 of 100, a middle-of-the-universe reading. The measurements behind it are mixed.

Quality research measures durability of the business itself from stored fundamentals: balance-sheet strength, profitability consistency and cash generation. It is a research reading, not a prediction of future returns.

How this is measured

Fundamental Momentum

Deteriorating

13

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Fundamental Momentum research reads 13 of 100. Stored measurements classify recent reported fundamentals as deteriorating. This describes reported financial change already disclosed, with no forward-looking claim.

Fundamental Momentum research measures the direction of recently reported company fundamentals compared with the company's own history. It describes reported change, not future price movement.

How this is measured

Capital Returns

Weak

40

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Capital Returns research reads 40 of 100, recorded as weak. No dividend is recorded for this company, so the reading rests on buybacks and dilution control. Share count has increased at about 10.2% a year in the stored window.

Capital Returns research measures how a company has actually returned cash to shareholders: dividend record, buyback effectiveness, dilution control and how those payments were funded.

What this company does

Founded in 2012, The Honest Company (the "Company," or "Honest," or which may also be referred to as "we," "us" or "our") is a personal care company dedicated to creating cleanly-formulated and sustainably-designed products for everyone from babies to adults. By combining thoughtful design with science-based innovation, we deliver personal care products for everyone from babies to adults, spanning categories across wipes, personal care, diapers, and beauty. Our commitment to our core values, continual innovation and engaging our community has differentiated and elevated our brand and our products. Since our launch, we have cultivated deep trust around what matters most to our consumers: their health, their families and their homes. We seek to meet consumers wherever they want to shop, balancing deep consumer connection with broad convenience and availability. We believe our distribution strategy positions us for continued growth through our trusted brand and award-winning multi-category product offering.

Our Chief Executive Officer, as the chief operating decision maker, organizes the Company, manages resource allocations, and measures performance on the basis of one operating segment. We offer an array of cleanly-formulated and sustainably-designed products, including a portfolio of wipes and a personal care collection for everyone from babies to adults, as well as diapers. We use cleanly-formulated and safe ingredients designed for the whole family, including many naturally-derived ingredients that, most importantly, are effective. We also offer a portfolio of wipes, including all-purpose wipes, flushable wipes in both toddler and adult variations, sanitizing wipes, and make-up remover wipes. Our Clean Conscious wipes are compostable and plant-based, made with over 99% water and designed to protect delicate skin. We have an extensive collection of personal care products for everyone from babies to adults, as well as adult facial care products designed for a range of skin types and concerns, many of which are certified by trusted experts and institutions, including the National Eczema Association. Our ingredients and formulas are toxicologist-audited for potential health concerns. Primary components of our diapers include responsibly sourced, plant-based fluff pulp and other plant-derived materials. Our diapers have an extensive modern and efficient design that uses less material.

We seek to meet consumers wherever they want to shop, balancing deep consumer connection with broad convenience and availability. Our distribution strategy positions us for continued growth through our trusted brand and award-winning multi-category product offerings. Since our launch, we have expanded our product availability, including the launch of strategic partnerships with Target, Amazon and Walmart in 2014, 2017 and 2022, respectively , as well as distribution with many other retailers nationwide . We have retail partnerships with leading retailers that sell our products through brick and mortar stores and on their own websites. Our retail partnerships expand brand awareness and product availability , creating meaningful marketing efficiencies as we continue to scale. Additionally, these retail partnerships support our differentiated value proposition by making our products conveniently available in the many places where our consumer shops.

Effective December 31, 2025, we have transitioned away from Honest.com as a shipping and fulfillment channel, while maintaining Honest.com as a resource for educating consumers, showcasing our complete product portfolio, and driving consumers to purchase through our leading retailers and their websites, and third-party ecommerce sites.
