Second Quarter 2026 Highlights
- Net sales increased by 244% to
$41.3 million compared to$12.0 million in the corresponding prior year period. The increase was primarily attributable to distribution expansion in our retail channel, continued strength in club stores, and the contribution of the Navitas and Terrasoul acquisitions. - E-commerce sales increased by 221% year-over-year and contributed 49% of total Net sales, led by the addition of Navitas and Terrasoul sales and strong sales growth on Amazon.com, offset in part by softness in the direct-to-consumer channel.
- Wholesale sales increased by 269% year-over-year and contributed 51% of total Net sales, driven by the addition of Navitas and Terrasoul sales.
- Gross profit increased 162% to
$12.5 million , or 30.3% of net sales as compared to$4.8 million , or 39.9% of net sales in the corresponding prior year period. The gross margin compression was attributable to unfavorable channel and product mix, inflationary commodity costs, and lower margins associated with the Terrasoul brand. - Net loss was
($1.8) million , or ($0.25 ) per basic and diluted share, compared to net loss of($0.4) million , or ($0.03 ) per basic and diluted share, in the corresponding prior year period. The increased net loss relative to the prior year period was driven primarily by costs incurred in connection with the acquisition and integration of Navitas and Terrasoul. - Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, was
$3.0 million , compared to$0.1 million in the corresponding prior year period. The increase was driven primarily by the addition of Navitas and Terrasoul acquisitions early synergies realization, offset in part by inflationary commodity costs and higher marketing and selling expenses. For more details on non-GAAP financial measures, refer to the information in the non-GAAP financial measures section of this press release.
Year-to-Date 2026 Highlights
- Net sales increased by 134% to
$55.2 million compared to$23.6 million in the corresponding prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by distribution expansion in retail and Club channels and the contribution of the Navitas and Terrasoul acquisitions. - E-commerce sales increased by 114% year-over-year and contributed 48% of total Net sales, led by the addition of Navitas and Terrasoul sales and strong sales growth on Amazon.com, offset in part by softness in the direct-to-consumer channel.
- Wholesale sales increased by 156% year-over-year and contributed 52% of total Net sales, driven by the addition of Navitas and Terrasoul sales, as well as new and existing items expansion in the wholesale channel.
- Gross profit increased by 78% to
$17.2 million , or 31.1% of net sales, compared to$9.7 million , or 40.9% of net sales, in the corresponding prior year period. The margin compression was attributable to unfavorable channel and product mix, inflationary commodity costs, as well as lower margins associated with the Terrasoul brand. - Net loss was
($0.1) million , or ($0.10 ) per basic and diluted share, compared to net loss of($0.5) million , or ($0.05 ) per basic and diluted share, in the corresponding prior year period. The improvement was driven by a discrete income tax benefit related to the release of valuation allowance on deferred tax liabilities acquired in connection with the Navitas acquisition, and the contribution of Navitas and Terrasoul acquisitions, offset in part by costs incurred in connection with the acquisition and integration of Navitas and Terrasoul, and, to a lesser degree, by inflationary commodity costs. - Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, was
$1.8 million , compared to$0.5 million in the corresponding prior year period. The increase was attributable primarily to addition of Navitas and Terrasoul brands, offset in part by inflationary commodity costs and higher marketing and selling expenses.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (unaudited) |
In this press release, we report adjusted EBITDA, which is a financial measure not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in |

Management uses adjusted EBITDA internally in analyzing the Company’s financial results to assess operational performance and to determine the Company’s future capital requirements. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to adjusted EBITDA in assessing its performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. The Company believes adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and others to understand and evaluate the Company’s operating results and it allows for a more meaningful comparison between the Company’s performance and that of competitors. Our use of adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider this performance measure in isolation from or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are that adjusted EBITDA does not reflect, among other things: cash capital expenditures for assets underlying depreciation and amortization expense that may need to be replaced or for new capital expenditures; interest expense; income tax expense from continuing operations; our working capital requirements; the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation; and the provision for income taxes. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure. |

Because of these limitations, you should consider adjusted EBITDA along with other financial performance measures, including |
