Previous wording
In the first and second quarter of 2025, the U.S. government announced a series of new tariff policies affecting imports from several countries, including China. While these actions impact a range of global trade flows, the new tariffs targeting imports from China are the most significant for our business. As a result of these tariffs, we experienced an increase in our cost of goods sold during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. In response, we implemented targeted price increases across affected product categories to partially offset the higher input costs. These pricing actions, however, contributed to a decline in unit volumes as consumer demand responded to the higher retail prices. We are monitoring the situation closely and are proactively evaluating strategies to mitigate the impact on our supply chain and margins. These efforts include exploring alternative sourcing outside of China, working with our suppliers to manage cost increases, and implementing price increases. These actions that we take may not fully offset the impact of tariffs and, as a result, our revenues, gross margins and overall financial performance may be materially impacted.

Stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to adjustments to previously accrued bonus-related stock compensation. These accruals, originally recorded during the year-ended December 31, 2024 based on expected equity settlement, were reversed in the current period due to changes in settlement approach and timing of vesting. In addition, the current period included a reversal of expense related to forfeitures for employees terminated as part of the May 2025 restructuring. As a result, the current quarter reflects a net reduction in expense due to these reversals, with a portion of the related expense being deferred to future periods.

Previous wording
Net revenue decreased $8.5 million, or 30.5%, during the three months ended June 30, 2025 to $19.5 million, compared to $28.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in net revenue was primarily attributable to a decrease in direct net revenue of $10.0 million, or 35.9%, as the newly implemented tariffs increased our cost of goods sold, prompting us to raise prices to mitigate the impact. These pricing actions, combined with the broader challenging macroeconomic environment, led to a reduction in unit volume as consumer demand softened at elevated price levels
Current wording
Net revenue decreased $7.2 million, or 27.5%, during the three months ended September 30, 2025 to $19.0 million, compared to $26.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in net revenue was primarily attributable to a decrease in direct net revenue of $7.3 million, or 28.4%, as the newly implemented tariffs increased our cost of goods sold, prompting us to raise prices to mitigate the impact. These pricing actions, combined with the broader challenging macroeconomic environment, led to a reduction in unit volume as consumer demand softened at elevated price levels.
Previous wording
With the exception of Kitchen appliances, every category of business had a reduction in sales compared to the prior year primarily relating to softness in consumer demand due to the macroeconomic environment and higher sales prices implemented in response to tariffs, which led to a slowdown in unit volume. The increase in Kitchen Appliances is primarily driven by more prominent Amazon listing placements and the initial product load-in related to our expanded presence in Walmart stores.
Current wording
With the exception of Health and beauty products, every category of business had a reduction in sales compared to the prior year primarily relating to softness in consumer demand due to the macroeconomic environment and higher sales prices implemented in response to tariffs, which led to a slowdown in unit volume. The increase in Health and beauty products is driven in part by the timing of customer purchases and inventory replenishment, which accelerated certain orders into the current quarter.
Previous wording
Cost of goods sold decreased $2.2 million, or 19.8%, during the three months ended June 30, 2025 to $8.9 million, compared to $11.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily from reduced sales volumes. The decrease in cost of goods sold was primarily attributable to a decrease of $3.8 million in cost of goods sold from our direct businesses, partially offset by an increase of $1.6 million in cost of goods sold from our wholesale businesses.
Current wording
Cost of goods sold decreased $2.1 million, or 19.8%, during the three months ended September 30, 2025 to $8.3 million, compared to $10.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily from reduced sales volumes. The decrease in cost of goods sold was primarily attributable to a decrease of $2.2 million in cost of goods sold from our direct businesses, partially offset by an increase of $0.1 million in cost of goods sold from our wholesale businesses.
Previous wording
Gross profit decreased to 54.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from 60.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in gross profit was due primarily to product mix, as well as higher cost of sales resulting from the impact of newly implemented tariffs, partially offset by the benefit of price increases taken to mitigate these costs.
Current wording
Gross profit decreased to 56.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from 60.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

This decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease in the volume of products sold in the three months ended June 30, 2025, as our e-commerce platform commissions, online advertising, selling and logistics expenses decreased to $9.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $12.0 million in the prior year period.

Current wording
Our sales and distribution fixed costs (e.g., salary and office expenses) including stock-based compensation decreased to $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Previous wording
As a company in the early commercialization stage of its lifecycle, we are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties associated with the development of our enterprise. In this regard, substantially all of our efforts to date have been devoted to the development and sale of our products in the marketplace, which includes our investment in organic growth at the expense of short-term profitability, our investment in incremental growth through mergers & acquisitions (“M&A strategy”), our recruitment of management and technical staff, and raising capital to fund the development of our enterprise. As a result of these efforts, we have incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception and expect to continue to incur such losses, at a reduced level, and negative cash flows in the near term. However, we anticipate improvements over time as we work toward achieving a sustainable scale of profitability. We have also experienced declining revenues due to macroeconomic factors, including increased interest rates and reduced consumer discretionary spending, and other factors, and we intend to focus our efforts on a more limited number of products. In addition, our recent financial performance has been adversely impacted by inflationary pressures and reduced consumer spending.

In addition, our recent financial performance has been adversely impacted by inflationary pressures, reduced consumer spending, and tariffs.
Previous wording
Our future results could be materially impacted by recent changes to U.S. trade policy, including the imposition and expansion of tariffs on imports, specifically from China. A substantial portion of our products are sourced from China, and as such, the increased tariff rates have materially raised our cost of goods sold and have placed pressure on our margins. While we are actively pursuing mitigation strategies—including supplier negotiations, selective price adjustments, potential geographic diversification of sourcing and fixed cost reductions—there is significant uncertainty regarding the effectiveness of these mitigation efforts. Moreover, any future changes in tariff policy or implementation of additional trade barriers could further impact our business. These trade-related uncertainties, in conjunction with our existing financial condition, raise concern about our ability to remain in compliance with financial covenants under our credit agreements and may adversely impact our liquidity position.

• We are required to remain in compliance with certain financial covenants required by the MidCap Credit facility (See Note 7,Credit Facility and Warrants). We were in compliance with these financial covenants as of June 30, 2025, and expect to remain in compliance through at least September 30, 2026. However, if our mitigation strategies to address the impact of tariffs are unsuccessful, we can provide no assurances that we will remain in compliance with our financial covenants. During February 2024, the Company amended its terms with Midcap Credit Facility extending the term until December 2026 and amending certain financial covenants with favorable terms. Further, absent of our ability to generate cash inflows from our operations or secure additional outside capital, we will be unable to remain in compliance with these financial covenants. In the event we are unable to remain in compliance with these financial covenants (or other non-financial covenants required by the MidCap Credit Facility), and we are unable to secure a waiver or forbearance, MidCap may, at its discretion, exercise any and all of its existing rights and remedies, which may include, among others, accelerating repayment of the outstanding borrowings and/or asserting its rights in the assets securing the loan.

On August 29, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to its existing Credit and Security Agreement with MidCap. The amendment (i) reduces the Minimum Credit Party Liquidity covenant to $5.0 million during a temporary “Minimum Liquidity Covenant Reduction Period,” (ii) provides that the covenant will increase to $6.8 million upon delivery of a Liquidity Certificate evidencing liquidity at or above that level, and (iii) establishes an Availability Reserve of $2.8 million during the reduction period and $1.0 million thereafter. Further, absent of our ability to generate cash inflows from our operations or secure additional outside capital, we will be unable to remain in compliance with these financial covenants.

**Share Repurchase—**On March 14, 2025, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program to acquire up to $3.0 million of the Company’s common stock. The Company may purchase common stock on the open market, through privately negotiated transactions, or by other means including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions. The timing and total amount of stock repurchases will depend upon business, economic and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, prevailing stock prices, and other considerations. The share repurchase program will have a term of 24 months and may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not obligate the company to acquire any amount of common stock. The objective of this program is to repurchase shares of common stock opportunistically when management believes that the Company’s stock is trading below the Company’s determination of long-term fair value. During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and through August 12, 2025, the Company did not repurchase any shares under its authorized share repurchase program. On May 2, 2025, the Company temporarily suspended its share repurchase program.

**Trade Policy—**In the first quarter of 2025, the U.S. government announced a series of new tariff policies affecting imports from several countries, including China. While these actions impact a range of global trade flows, the new tariffs targeting imports from China are the most significant for our business. While the ultimate implications of the tariffs remain unclear, they could materially increase our import costs and potentially lead to higher prices that reduce consumer demand. We are monitoring the situation closely and are proactively evaluating strategies to mitigate the impact on our supply chain and margins. These efforts include exploring alternative sourcing outside of China, working with our suppliers to manage cost increases, and implementing price increases. These actions that we take may not fully offset the impact of tariffs and, as a result, our revenues, gross margins and overall financial performance may be materially impacted.

As discussed in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported in those consolidated financial statements. These judgments can be subjective and complex, and consequently, actual results could differ from those estimates. Our most critical accounting policies and estimates relate to revenue recognition; leases; impairment of intangible assets; impairment of long-lived assets; and income taxes (including uncertain tax positions). There have been no significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies subsequent to December 31, 2024.
