Current report
Net sales increased to $11.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 ("Q1 2025"), from $9.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 ("Q1 2024"). Wholesale net sales in Q1 2025 increased by 35% compared to the Q1 2024 driven by velocity improvement and distribution expansion in grocery and club stores. E-commerce channel sales for the Q1 2025 increased by 6% compared to Q1 2024, driven by growth in subscription revenue, and repeat customer purchases, and higher average order values.
Current report
For Q1 2025 and Q1 2024, wholesale channel sales made up 47% and 41% of our net sales, respectively. Laird Superfood products are sold through various retail outlets, including conventional, natural and specialty grocery, club, and food service locations. The diversity of our retail outlets represents a strong competitive advantage for Laird Superfood and provides us with a larger total addressable market than would be considered normal for a food brand that is singularly focused on the grocery market.
Current report
Comparison of theQ1 2025*** and***Q1 2024
Current report
The increase in net sales during Q1 2025 was primarily driven by velocity improvements and distribution gains in grocery and club stores, partially offset by increased promotional trade spend, to support a 35% increase in wholesale channel sales year-over-year. E-commerce channel sales increased by 6% year-over-year, which was fueled by stronger Amazon performance.
Current report
The increase in cost of goods sold during Q1 2025 was driven by growth in sales volume, offset in part by decreased overhead costs resulting from increased absorption as we increased inventory stock during the quarter in response to elevated demand for our products and to prevent future out-of-stocks.
Current report
The increase in gross profit in Q1 2025 compared to the prior year period was driven by increased sales volume. Gross margin expanded to 41.9% in Q1 2025 from 40.0% in the prior year period.
Current report
Cash used in operating activities for Q1 2025 was driven by strategic investment into working capital to meet higher demand for our products and to address the out-of-stocks experienced at the end of 2024 and, to a lesser degree, in Q1 2025.
Current report
Cash used in investing activities for Q1 2025 consisted of purchases of long-lived capital assets.
Current report
We continue to monitor macroeconomic trends and uncertainties such inflation of commodity costs, the effects of recently announced tariffs, and the potential imposition of modified or additional tariffs, which may have adverse effects on net sales and margins. As a result of the tariffs announced by the U.S. presidential administration, and potential tariff modifications or the imposition of tariffs or export controls by other countries, we anticipate increased supply chain challenges, commodity cost volatility, and consumer and economic uncertainty due to rapid changes in global trade policies. Based on preliminary analysis of the potential effects of the announced tariffs and these other factors, we do not expect these factors to result in a material negative effect on our net sales or profitability for the remainder of fiscal year 2025. However, we are continuing to evaluate these factors and their potential effects as well as our ability to potentially offset all or a portion of cost increases through pricing actions and cost savings efforts for fiscal year 2026 planning. Economic pressures on customers and consumers, including the challenges of high inflation and the effects of increased tariffs, may negatively affect our net sales and profitability in the future.

Entry into an Accounts Receivable Factoring Agreement
Previous report
On May 7, 2024, we entered into an accounts receivable factoring agreement (the “Factoring Agreement”) with Alterna Capital Solutions LLC (the “Purchaser”). The Factoring Agreement allows us to access up to $2 million on a revolving basis. The upfront purchase price for factored accounts is up to 70% of their face value, with the remainder payable to us upon collection by the Purchaser. The proceeds, if any, will be used to fund general working capital needs. Pursuant to the Factoring Agreement, we will pay fees, including a funds usage fee (prime rate + 1.5%, minimum 10% per annum) and a collateral monitoring fee (0.05% per month). The Factoring Agreement provides that the Purchaser can require repurchase of uncollectable or ineligible accounts.
Previous report
The Factoring Agreement has an initial term of 12 months and will automatically renew annually, unless terminated in accordance with the Factoring Agreement. We may terminate the Factoring Agreement at any time upon 30 days prior written notice and payment to Purchaser of an early termination fee equal to 2.0% of the Maximum Amount (as defined in the Factoring Agreement) if terminated during the first 12 months and 1.0% of the Maximum Amount during the subsequent terms.
Previous report
Pursuant to the Factoring Agreement, we granted a security interest to the Purchaser in our personal property to secure the payment and performance of all obligations under the Factoring Agreement.
Previous report
We believe an ability to consistently acquire and retain customers at a reasonable cost relative to projected lifetime value will be a key factor affecting future performance. To accomplish this goal, we intend to balance advertising spend between online and offline channels, as well as balancing more targeted and measurable “direct response” marketing spend with advertising focused on increasing our long-term brand recognition, where success attribution is less directly measurable on a near-term basis.
Previous report
Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2024*** (“Q3 2024”) and September 30, 2023****** (“Q3 2023”)***
Previous report
The increase in net sales was primarily driven by a 42% increase in sales in the e-commerce channel through both Amazon.com and DTC platforms. DTC grew despite planned reductions in media spend and was fueled by a growing subscription and repeat customer base as well as higher average order value ("AOV"). Amazon grew 133% as compared to reduced sales volume in the 2023 period from out-of-stocks associated with a quality event. Further, the wholesale channel also grew by 13% in Q3 2024 compared to Q3 2023 driven primarily by velocity improvements and distribution gains in grocery stores, and more efficient promotional spend.
Previous report
The increase in cost of goods sold is driven by growth in sales volume, offset by lower product costs due to a shift to the direct procurement of key raw materials, as well as recoveries on costs previously incurred in connection with the quality event we experienced in 2023 as part of the settlement we reached with a supplier.
Previous report
Gross margin improved to 43.0% in Q3 2024 from 31.0% in the prior year period. The increase in gross profit and expansion of gross margin is driven primarily by lower ingredient costs due to a shift to the direct procurement of key raw materials, settlement recoveries, and a reduction in trade discounts due to a pullback in inefficient trade spend.
Previous report
Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2024* ("YTD 2024”) and September 30, 2023**** (“YTD 2023”)***
Previous report
The increase in net sales was primarily driven by 41% growth in the e-commerce channel sales through both the Amazon.com and DTC platforms. DTC grew despite reductions in media spend and was fueled by a growing subscriber and repeat customer base as well as higher AOV. Amazon grew 85% as compared to reduced sales volume in 2023 from out-of-stocks associated with a quality event. Further, the wholesale channel also grew by 11% in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the corresponding 2023 period, driven primarily by distribution expansion, growing velocities, and more efficient promotional spend.
Previous report
Cost of goods sold were nearly flat despite a period of 27% sales growth, which was offset by the full benefits realization of the transition to a variable cost third-party co-manufacturing business model, lower ingredient costs due to a shift to the direct procurement of key raw materials, and recoveries of costs previously incurred in connection with the quality event experienced in 2023 as part of a settlement with a supplier.
Previous report
Gross margin improved to 41.7% in YTD 2024 from 26.4% in YTD 2023. The increase in gross profit and gross margin expansion reflects increased net sales, due to both increased sales volume and a reduction in trade discounts due to improved promotional efficiencies compared to elevated trade spend in the prior year associated with the quality event that occurred in 2023, lower ingredient costs, settlement recoveries, and the full benefit realization of outsourcing.
Previous report
The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily driven by lower personnel costs and broad, strategic reductions in spending.
Previous report
Cash provided by operating activities for YTD 2024 was enabled by our greatly improved margins and reduced selling, marketing, and administrative expenses resulting from the business model transformation we undertook over the last twelve months, as well as efficient working capital management.
Previous report
Cash used in investing activities for YTD 2024 consists of purchases of office equipment. The cash generated in in the prior year period was due to the sale of property and equipment related to the Sisters, Oregon exit.
Previous report
Additionally, on September 15, 2023, we entered into a settlement agreement (the "2023 Settlement Agreement") with a supplier (the "Supplier") to recover losses incurred in connection with the product quality issue with coconut milk powder that we experienced in 2023, pursuant to which the Supplier was obligated to, among other things, pay the Company $50,000 and provide a discount to the Company on the sale of future products of up to $950,000. On February 27, 2024, we filed a complaint against the Supplier in the District Court of Boulder, Colorado alleging that the Supplier breached the 2023 Settlement Agreement by failing to deliver acceptable coconut milk powder (the "Litigation"). Both parties dispute liability. As a result of the Litigation, on July 30, 2024, the Company entered into an additional settlement agreement with the Supplier, pursuant to which, among other things, the Supplier agreed to remit cash payment to us of approximately $500,000. As of September 30, 2024, $285,000 was receivable from the Supplier and was included in prepaid and other current assets on the balance sheets.
