Active customers rose 4.5% to 20.9M, with Autoship up nearly 15% and now 83% of total sales.
NSPAC grew 4.6% to $591 as Chewy members boosted Autoship usage and mobile engagement.
Higher Autoship retention across repeat orders signals stronger customer loyalty and sustained growth.
Chewy, Inc.’s (CHWY - Free Report) active customer base is showing signs of reacceleration after a period of softer engagement. The company ended second-quarter fiscal 2025 with 20.9 million active customers, reflecting a 4.5% year-over-year increase. Moreover, Chewy added 150 thousand customers on a sequential basis. This growth indicates an expanding consumer base.
A key driver of active customer growth is the Autoship subscriptions and Chewy+ program, with Autoship sales rising by nearly 15% to $2.58 billion, surpassing overall revenue growth of 8.6%. Autoship now accounts for 83% of total net sales in the second quarter. The program showed particular strength in high-value categories such as consumables and health, suggesting that core customer spending is increasingly committed to Chewy's platform.
Chewy also saw an increase in customer share of wallet during the quarter, with NSPAC (Net Sales Per Active Customer) up 4.6% year over year to $591. Additionally, Chewy+ members are showing stronger Autoship participation and higher mobile app engagement than non-members. This behavior is translating into robust NSPAC trajectories for Chewy+ customers, ultimately providing a meaningful lift to the company’s overall net sales.
Management highlighted improvements in the rate of gross subscriptions added to Autoships and better retention for second, third, and fourth orders within Autoships. This suggests enhanced customer retention and engagement. As more customers join Autoships and programs like Chewy+, the company's ability to foster customer loyalty and communication strengthens.
Chewy’s second-quarter results indicate that its active customers are beginning to re-accelerate. The high adoption of Autoship, increased NSPAC, and engagement from Chewy+ memberships enhance customer quality and loyalty. With growing wallet share, the company is not only expanding its customer base but also laying a foundation for sustained future growth.
