Record Net Sales of $49.9 million for Fiscal Year 2025, growth of 15% year-over-year.

Laird Superfood, Inc. (NYSE:LSF) ("Laird Superfood," the "Company", "we", and "our"), today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

Jason Vieth, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Fiscal 2025 was a pivotal year for Laird Superfood. We delivered 15% net sales growth driven by strong momentum in our wholesale channel and continued expansion across grocery and club. While margins were impacted by commodity and tariff pressures, we made important progress strengthening our brand, expanding distribution, and improving operational discipline. Importantly, with the recent acquisition of Navitas Organics, we have taken a significant step toward building a scaled superfood platform with complementary brands, expanded product offerings, and greater reach across natural and conventional retail channels. We are excited about the opportunity ahead as we integrate the businesses and focus on driving sustainable growth."

Fourth Quarter 2025 Highlights

Net Sales of $13.3 million compared to $11.6 million in the corresponding prior year period, representing 15% growth.
E-commerce sales decreased by 6% year-over-year and contributed 48% of total Net Sales, with softness in the direct-to-consumer channel partially offset by growth on Amazon.com.
Wholesale sales increased by 44% year-over-year and contributed 52% of total Net Sales, driven by distribution expansion and velocity improvement in grocery and club outlets.
Gross Margin was 34.1% compared to 38.6% in the corresponding prior year period. This margin contraction was driven primarily by increased product costs driven by commodity prices and tariffs.
Net Loss was $1.8 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to Net Loss of $0.4 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the corresponding prior year period. The increased Net Loss in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to the prior year period, driven primarily by increased professional fees incurred in connection with the Navitas Acquisition, and increased procurement costs related to inflationary commodity and tariff costs.
Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, was ($0.4) million, compared to ($0.2) million in the corresponding prior year period. The decrease was driven primarily by inflationary commodity costs and tariffs as well as higher marketing expenses. For more details on non-GAAP financial measures, refer to the information in the non-GAAP financial measures section of this press release.

Fiscal Year 2025 Highlights

Net Sales of $49.9 million compared to $43.3 million in the corresponding prior year period, representing 15% growth.
E-commerce sales decreased by 3% year-over-year and contributed 50% of total Net Sales. Softness on our DTC platform was offset in part by strong performance on Amazon.com.
Wholesale sales increased by 41% year-over-year and contributed 50% of total Net Sales, driven by distribution expansion and velocity improvement in grocery and club outlets.
Gross Margin was 37.9% compared to 40.9% in the corresponding prior year period. This margin contraction was driven by settlement recoveries in FY 2024 which did not repeat in FY 2025, as well as increased product costs driven by commodity prices and tariffs.
Net Loss was $3.3 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, compared to Net Loss of $1.8 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, in the corresponding prior year period. The increase was driven primarily by impairment charges on long-lived intangible assets and increased professional fees incurred in connection with the Navitas Acquisition.
Adjusted EBITDA was $0.3 million, compared to ($0.7) million in the corresponding prior year period. This improvement was driven by Net Sales growth and decreased general and administrative costs, offset in part by Gross Margin contraction driven by increased product costs due to commodity prices and tariffs.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

We had $5.3 million of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash as of December 31, 2025, and no outstanding debt.

Cash used in operating activities was $2.8 million for the fiscal year 2025, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $0.9 million in the same period in 2024. The year-over-year change was primarily driven by working capital. Inventory levels increased in the first half of 2025 as the Company purchased additional inventory in advance of anticipated tariff-related cost increases and built safety stock of key products to support growing demand and reduce the risk of out-of-stocks. Inventory levels have decreased since their peak in the second quarter of 2025 consistent with management's strategy. In addition, accounts receivable increased due to the timing of large wholesale shipments at year-end, which were subsequently collected in the first quarter of 2026.

2026 Financial Outlook

On a directional basis, the Company expects fiscal year 2026 Net Sales for the combined business to grow at least in the high single digits compared to the aggregate 2025 combined Net Sales of $95.2 million, and expect Adjusted EBITDA to increase year-over-year, driven by top-line growth and the realization of integration synergies. The Company intends to provide formal fiscal year 2026 financial guidance, including combined company net sales and profitability targets, in connection with its first quarter 2026 earnings release.

Navitas Acquisition and Nexus Capital Investment

On March 12, 2026, Laird Superfood, Inc. completed two concurrent transactions: (i) the acquisition of Global Superfoods Corp. ("GSC"), the parent company of Navitas LLC ("Navitas"), for a purchase price of $38.5 million, subject to post-closing adjustments (the "Navitas Acquisition"), and (ii) the purchase by Gateway Superfood NSSIII Investment, LLC and Gateway Superfood NSSIV Investment, LLC (together, the "Investor"), each an affiliate of Nexus Capital Management LP ("Nexus"), of 50,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") at $1,000 per share for gross proceeds of $50.0 million (the "Nexus Investment" and together with the Navitas Acquisition, the "Transactions"), pursuant to that certain investment agreement dated December 21, 2025 (the "Investment Agreement"). The net proceeds from the Nexus Investment were used to complete the Navitas Acquisition. The Transactions were approved by the Company's stockholders at a special meeting held on March 11, 2026. The results of Navitas are not included in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(unaudited)

In this press release, we report Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per diluted share, which are financial measures not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The Company's management uses non-GAAP financial measures, both internally and externally, to assess and communicate the financial performance of the Company. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude: (1) depreciation and amortization expenses, (2) stock-based compensation, (3) income tax expense, (4) other income, (5) expenses related to the impairment of long-lived intangible assets, (6) expenses and recoveries related to a product quality issue, and (7) expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition of Navitas Organics. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it facilitates comparisons of its core business operations, excluding non-cash costs and non-recurring events, across periods on a consistent basis.

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 Net Sales, net loss, cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, net cash used in operating activities and our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP, to adjusted EBITDA, for each of the periods presented:

(a) In January 2023, we identified a product quality issue with raw material from one vendor and we voluntarily withdrew any affected finished goods. We previously incurred costs associated with product testing, discounts for replacement orders, and inventory obsolescence costs. We reached settlement with a supplier in the third quarter of 2023 and recorded recoveries in 2024.
(b) On December 21, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire Navitas Organics and Global Superfood Company. The Company incurred professional fees related to this business combination in the year ended December 31, 2025.
