Grove Collaborative Holdings, Inc. serves consumers seeking household and personal-care products selected against its ingredient, environmental and performance standards. Customers pay for products ordered through its website and app, choosing immediate shipment or scheduled automatic orders. Third-party products supply most revenue; its own brands account for a substantial minority, led by home care. Grove Co., its largest brand on the platform, includes cleaners, soaps and laundry products, with refillable, reusable and reduced-plastic options. Grove has ended brick-and-mortar distribution but retains selected online selling partners.
The business depends on attracting customers at an affordable cost and keeping them buying. Meta- and Alphabet-owned channels have historically supplied a significant number of new customers through digital advertising. Third-party technology providers now run its ecommerce platform; the migration disrupted shopping and order handling. Grove also relies on a limited number of suppliers and manufacturers for a significant portion of its products.
Automatic-renewal rules constrain its subscription offerings. A California prosecutors’ investigation has already prompted significant changes to its direct-to-consumer model. As a public benefit corporation, Grove must also balance shareholders’ financial interests with those of affected stakeholders and its stated public-benefit purposes.
The risk section is the longest, dullest part of the filing. This keeps only what can really hurt you: where it hits, how hard, when it plays out.
Every company claims an edge. Each one is checked against hard numbers like margins and returns: which hold, and which line gives way first.
Grove’s results hinge on keeping repeat customers, stabilizing its ecommerce platform and acquiring customers cost-effectively through channels including Meta and Alphabet.
The Honest Company and Grove compete for consumers buying clean, sustainability-oriented personal-care products. Watch Honest’s expansion into more stores and online outlets: it broadens access to its personal-care and beauty products as Grove seeks more sales from those categories.
Amazon competes with Grove for consumers’ online purchases of household cleaners and personal-care products, using its broad selection, pricing and fast delivery to win those orders.

Amazon’s report will show whether its online retail business is still drawing spending, a broad-market signal for the household-cleaning and personal-care orders it competes for with Grove Collaborative.
Watch Amazon’s online-store sales. If they grow while Grove Collaborative’s DTC orders keep falling, online retail demand is strong but is not stopping Grove from losing orders—a pattern consistent with Amazon competing through selection, prices and delivery. Amazon does not break out household cleaners or personal-care products, however. If its online sales slow, that broad competitive signal weakens; it does not prove Grove is winning customers back.

Grove Collaborative relies on orders through its website and app, and this report will show whether order volume is stabilizing or its sales are still losing customers.
Read DTC orders and active customers alongside net revenue per order. If orders and customers stabilize while revenue per order holds, Grove’s customer base is no longer shrinking. If orders and customers keep falling while revenue per order holds, remaining customers are still spending, but not enough to replace lost orders; Grove’s sales base is still contracting.
