  1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the statements herein.

The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the "Annual Financial Statements") as filed with the SEC. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly present its financial position as of September 30, 2025, its results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and its stockholders' deficit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. Results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2025 or any future period. The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2024 was derived from the Annual Financial Statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the Annual Financial Statements.

Change in Presentation

In the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company has revised the presentation of operating expenses to separately present "Sales and marketing" and "General and administrative." In prior periods, these expenses were presented on a combined basis as "Selling, general and administrative."

The Company believes this updated presentation provides a more meaningful view of its cost structure and better aligns with how management evaluates financial performance and allocates resources. To facilitate comparison, amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 have been recast to conform to the current period presentation. This change in presentation had no impact on total operating expenses, loss from operations, net loss, or loss per share for any period presented.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates intangible assets and other long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Such indicators include, but are not limited to, significant adverse changes in business climate, market conditions, or other events that indicate an asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of each asset to the future undiscounted cash flows the asset is expected to generate. If the undiscounted cash flows used in the test for recoverability are less than the carrying amount of these assets, the carrying amount of such assets is reduced to fair value.

On April 4, 2022, the Company acquired California-based complementary greenhouse farming company Hollandia Produce Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Pete’s Acquisition"), which operated under the name Pete’s. As part of the acquisition, the Company recognized identifiable intangible assets, including the Pete’s trade name.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company completed the transition of the Pete’s brand to the Local Bounti brand, and the Company is no longer using the Pete’s trade name in its line of products. Because the Pete’s trade name is no longer in use, management concluded that the related trade name intangible asset's carrying value was no longer considered recoverable. Accordingly, the related trade name intangible asset was written off in full, resulting in an impairment charge of $3.7 million. The impairment charge is included in "General and administrative" expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), which requires disclosure of specific categories and disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation table. The ASU also requires disclosure of disaggregated information related to income taxes paid, income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit, and income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations. The Company is adopting ASU 2023-09 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this ASU had no impact on the Company’s interim Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

Cargill Senior Facility

Restructured Credit Agreements with Cargill Financial

On September 3, 2021, Local Bounti Operating Company LLC and certain subsidiaries entered into a multiple-advance term loan credit agreement (the "Senior Credit Agreement" and "Senior Facility") and a subordinated credit agreement (the "Subordinated Credit Agreement" and "Subordinated Facility" and, together with the Senior Credit Agreement, the "Original Credit Agreements") with Cargill Financial.

On March 31, 2025, the Company entered into a restructuring agreement and an Eleventh Amendment to the Senior Credit Agreement (the "Eleventh Amendment" and the "Amended Senior Credit Agreement") with Cargill Financial, as further described below.

Eleventh Amendment to the Senior Credit Agreement

Pursuant to the Eleventh Amendment, (i) $139.0 million of loans outstanding under the Senior Facility, together with all accrued and unpaid interest was cancelled, and (ii) $58.0 million of loans outstanding under the Subordinated Credit Agreement, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, was cancelled, constituting all of the loans and interest outstanding under the Subordinated Credit Agreement. In accordance with the Eleventh Amendment, the aggregate principal amount of loans outstanding under the Senior Facility subsequent to the Eleventh Amendment was $312.0 million. Additionally, in connection with the Eleventh Amendment, the per share exercise price of the Original Warrants (as defined below in Note 7, Fair Value Measurements), was amended from $6.50 to $4.00 per share with an amended expiration date of March 31, 2033.

The Company concluded the Eleventh Amendment met the definition of a troubled debt restructuring as the Company was experiencing financial difficulties and the creditor granted a concession as a result of the reduction of principal, cancellation of accrued interest, modification of interest rates, and the extension of the maturity date under the Original Credit Agreements. Therefore, no gain was recognized on the cancellation of debt. Instead, $181.7 million of cancelled principal and $15.4 million of accrued interest, net of $29.0 million of unamortized debt discount remaining under the original Senior Facility, was recorded as a debt premium (representing the excess of the $480.0 million carrying amount of the Senior Facility and the Subordinated Facility prior to the restructuring over the new $312.0 million principal amount of the Senior Facility subsequent to the Eleventh Amendment) that is amortized as a reduction to interest expense over the 10-year term of the Amended Senior Credit Agreement using the effective interest method.

Twelfth Amendment to the Senior Credit Agreement

In connection with the issuance of the Note and the U.S. Bounti Warrant (each as defined below), on August 1, 2025, the Company also entered into a Twelfth Amendment to its Senior Credit Agreement with Cargill Financial, pursuant to which $10.0 million of outstanding loans under the Senior Facility were cancelled and discharged. Following the amendment, the aggregate principal amount of loans outstanding under the Senior Facility is $302.0 million.

The Company concluded the Twelfth Amendment met the definition of a troubled debt restructuring as the Company was experiencing financial difficulties and the creditor granted a concession as a result of the reduction of principal. Therefore, no gain was recognized on the cancellation of debt. Instead, $10.0 million of cancelled principal was recorded as a debt premium that will be amortized as a reduction to interest expense over the 10-year term of the Amended Senior Credit Agreement using the effective interest method.

General Provisions of the Senior Facility

Subsequent to the Eleventh Amendment, interest on the Senior Facility will accrue at three-month SOFR plus 2.0%. On March 31, 2031, the interest rate will increase to three-month SOFR plus 6.0%. From January 1, 2027 to December 31, 2029, interest will accrue on $100 million of the Senior Facility and will be due and payable in cash starting the first business day after the close of each calendar quarter, beginning with the quarter commencing April 1, 2027, and continuing through December 31, 2029. Interest accruing on the outstanding principal balance of the Senior Facility in excess of $100 million will, at the Company’s option, either be paid in cash or paid in kind, beginning with the quarter commencing April 1, 2027, and continuing through December 31, 2029.

From January 1, 2030 to March 31, 2031, interest will accrue on up to $200 million of the Senior Facility and will be due and payable in cash starting the first business day after the close of each calendar quarter, beginning with the quarter commencing April 1, 2030, and continuing through March 31, 2031. Interest accruing on the outstanding principal balance of the Senior Facility in excess of $200 million will, at the Company's option, either be paid in cash or paid-in-kind, beginning with the quarter commencing April 1, 2027, and continuing through March 31, 2031.

At all times after March 31, 2031, interest shall be payable only in cash on the first business day after each calendar quarter ends. Additionally, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2027,50% of the free cash flow generated in the preceding quarter must be used for principal repayment on a quarterly basis. The maturity date of the Senior Facility subsequent to the Eleventh Amendment is December 31, 2035.

The Amended Senior Credit Agreement includes affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, and other requirements and restrictions. The financial covenants under the Amended Senior Credit Agreement consist of the following:

Minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio: Beginning June 30, 2027, the Company must maintain a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00, increasing to 1.25 to 1.00 on June 30, 2028, and thereafter.

Minimum Liquidity: The Company is required to maintain minimum liquidity of $3.0 million as of December 31, 2025, December 31, 2026, and thereafter.

Minimum EBITDA: The Company must achieve minimum Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $0 for the quarter ending March 31, 2026; $3.0 million for each of the quarters ending December 31, 2026 and March 31, 2027; and $7.0 million for the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2027. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net loss before the impact of interest expense, depreciation, and amortization, and adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense, change in fair value of warrant liability, and certain other non-core items.

Current Ratio: Starting June 30, 2027, the Company must maintain a minimum current ratio covenant of at least 1.00 to 1.00, increasing to 1.20 to 1.00 beginning June 30, 2028, and thereafter.

U.S. Bounti, LLC Convertible Note and U.S. Bounti Warrant

On August 1, 2025, the Company entered into a Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement with U.S. Bounti, LLC, providing for the issuance of (i) a convertible note with an initial principal balance of $10.0 million (the "Note") and (ii) a common stock purchase warrant (the "U.S. Bounti Warrant") pursuant to which U.S. Bounti, LLC has the right to purchase and acquire 550,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.125 per share. The Note bears interest at a rate of 6.0% per year, commencing on August 1, 2025 with a maturity date of August 1, 2030. Interest will accrue semi-annually on each June 30 and December 31, commencing December 31, 2025 (each, a "PIK Interest Payment Due Date"), and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on each PIK Interest Payment Due Date by automatically increasing the principal amount of the Note by the amount of such interest (with such increased amount thereafter accruing interest as well) on each PIK Interest Payment Due Date ("PIK Interest"). From time to time after August 1, 2028, interest may be payable quarterly in arrears in cash on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, commencing December 31, 2028 (each, a "Cash Interest Payment Due Date"), in each case, in an amount equal to interest accrued during the quarter ending on such Cash Interest Payment Due Date, so long as certain conditions are met, including receipt of the prior written approval of Cargill Financial, as sole lender under the Senior Facility, if the senior obligations thereunder have not been paid in full, as further set forth in the Note.

During the term of the Note, the Note will be convertible into shares of the Company's common stock from time to time at the option of U.S. Bounti, LLC, upon delivery on one or more occasions of a written notice to the Company electing to convert all or any portion of the Note Obligations Amount (as defined in the Note). The initial conversion price of the Note is $2.50 per share of the Company's common stock (the "Conversion Price"). The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment for stock splits, dividends or distributions, recapitalizations or similar transactions. On August 1, 2029,50% of the Note Obligations Amount will be automatically converted into shares of the Company's common stock at the Conversion Price. The remaining 50% of the Note Obligations Amount will be automatically converted into shares of the Company's common stock at the Conversion Price on the maturity date of the Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however,50% of the Note Obligations Amount may be payable in cash on August 1, 2029, with the remaining 50% of the Note Obligations Amount repaid in cash on the maturity date of the Note, so long as certain conditions are met as set forth in the Note. Conversion of the full initial principal amount of the Note would result in the issuance of 4,000,000 shares of common stock if converted at $2.50 per share, which amount is subject to increase by any PIK Interest that is added to the outstanding principal under the terms of the Note. The Note is subordinated to obligations under the Company’s Senior Facility.

On October 14, 2025, the Company’s stockholders approved, for purposes of complying with the rules of the NYSE, (i) the issuance of up to 5,131,871 shares of the Company's common stock upon the conversion of the Note, and (ii) the issuance of up to 550,000 shares of the Company's common stock underlying the U.S. Bounti Warrant.

The Company determined that the U.S. Bounti Warrant requires liability classification under ASC 815 and will be remeasured at fair value each reporting period, with changes recognized in earnings. The U.S. Bounti Warrant's initial fair value of $1.5 million was recorded as a debt discount to the $10.0 million Note, and will be amortized to interest expense over the 5-year term of the Note using the effective interest method. See Note 7, Fair Value Measurements, for a discussion of the method used to determine the fair value of the U.S. Bounti Warrant.

  1. Fair Value Measurements

The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the accounting of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis according to the valuation techniques the Company uses to determine their fair value:

Cargill Financial Common Stock Purchase Warrant Amendment

In connection with the Eleventh Amendment, the Company entered into amendments for existing warrants held by Cargill Financial (the "Cargill Warrant Amendments") to amend (i) that certain Common Stock Purchase Warrant, dated March 28, 2023 (the "Cargill Base Warrant") and (ii) those certain Warrants to Purchase Common Stock, each issued November 21, 2021 (the "Cargill 2021 Warrants" and, together with the Base Warrant, the "Cargill Original Warrants"; the Cargill Original Warrants as amended, the "Cargill Amended Warrants") to (a) amend the exercise price for the Cargill Original Warrants from $6.50 to $4.00 per share of common stock, (b) extend the expiration date toeight years from the closing of the Eleventh Amendment, and (c) amend and restate the Cargill Base Warrant to be on the same form as the Cargill 2021 Warrants. The Cargill Original Warrants were issued by the Company to Cargill Financial to purchase up to an aggregate of 5,408,145 shares of common stock and the aggregate number of shares is the same for the Cargill Amended Warrants. The change in the per share exercise price did not affect the classification of the Cargill Original Warrants. Therefore, the change in fair value of the Cargill Original Warrants will continue to be remeasured each quarter until the instrument is settled or expires with changes in fair value recorded in "Change in fair value of warrant liability" in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The fair value of the liability of the Cargill Amended Warrants is determined using a Black-Scholes model. The following table presents changes in the Level 3 fair value measurement for the warrant liability on a recurring basis:

U.S. Bounti Warrant

The U.S. Bounti Warrant entitles the holder to purchase up to 550,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.125 per share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events such as stock dividends, stock splits, or other corporate actions. The U.S. Bounti Warrant is exercisable beginning on the date of issuance and will expire on August 1, 2035. The Company concluded that the U.S. Bounti Warrant should be classified as a derivative liability pursuant to ASC 815, as the instrument fails the indexation and equity classification guidance. As such, the U.S. Bounti Warrant will be initially measured at fair value. The change in fair value will be remeasured each quarter until the instrument is settled or expires with changes in fair value recorded in "Change in fair value of warrant liability" in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The fair value of the liability of the U.S. Bounti Warrant is determined using a Black-Scholes model. The following table presents changes in the Level 3 fair value measurement for the warrant liability on a recurring basis:

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated their respective fair values due to their short-term maturities. Therefore, no unrealized gains or losses were recorded during the periods presented. There were no transfers of financial instruments between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 during the periods presented.

  1. Stockholders' Deficit

Securities Purchase Agreement

On March 31, 2025, simultaneous with the Eleventh Amendment (see Note 6, Debt, for further information), the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with certain investors (the "Investors") for a $25 million investment (the "PIPE Investment"). In connection with the PIPE Investment, the Company issued 1,771,586 shares of common stock (the "PIPE Common Stock"), $0.0001 par value per share, and 10,728,414 shares Series A Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), $0.0001 par value per share (and together with the PIPE Common Stock, (the "Securities")) at a purchase price of $2.00 per share (the "Purchase Price") to comply with NYSE stockholder approval rules. As required by the NYSE shareholder approval rules, the Series A Certificate of Designations limited the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock such that, when aggregated with the shares of PIPE Common Stock issued at closing, such issuances would not exceed 19.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock until the date stockholder approval was obtained. All shares of Series A Preferred Stock were automatically converted intoone share of common stock without any action by the holders on the first trading day after the Company obtained stockholder approval, which the Company obtained at its June 11, 2025, Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Investors are subject to a 180-day lock-up period with respect to the Securities purchased in the PIPE Investment.

The Purchase Agreement included customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties. The securities issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement were sold in private placements in reliance upon the exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act") and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, without general solicitation, made only to and with accredited investors as defined in Regulation D. The transaction closed on March 31, 2025, following the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Upon closing, the Company received aggregate net proceeds of approximately $24.5 million, net of offering expenses, which was allocated between the common stock and Series A Preferred Stock on a relative fair value basis resulting in $3.4 million of net proceeds from the sales of common stock and $21.1 million from the sale of Series A Preferred Stock. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Securities sale for general corporate purposes.

The Series A Preferred Stock was initially classified in temporary equity on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as prior to its conversion to common stock it was contingently redeemable in cash at the original purchase price at the holder’s option upon the occurrence of events which were deemed outside of the Company’s control. In accordance with the accounting guidance for contingently redeemable equity instruments, the Company elected to record changes in redemption value immediately as the changes occur, and to adjust the carrying amount of the Series A Preferred Stock to its redemption value at the end of each reporting period. At issuance, the Series A Preferred Stock had a relative fair value of $21.1 million. At the end of the reporting period on March 31, 2025, the redemption value of the Series A Preferred Stock was equal to the original purchase price of $2.00 per share, or $21.5 million. Consequently, the Company recognized a $0.4 million increase to the initial carrying value of the Series A Preferred Stock and a decrease to additional paid in capital to reflect the Series A Preferred Stock at its maximum redemption value. This increase to the carrying value is treated as a deemed dividend to the preferred stockholders and increases the net loss attributable to common stockholders and basic net loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. See Note 10, Net Loss Per Share, for further information.

Equity Incentive Plan

The Company's Board of Directors adopted an amendment to the Company's 2021 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares issuable under the plan by an additional 2,473,042 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, that was approved by the Company's stockholders on, and which became effective as of, June 11, 2025.

Total expense of RSUs, net of amounts capitalized, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $1.3 million and $1.6 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, the total compensation cost related to unvested RSUs not yet recognized is $6.3 million. Unvested RSU expense not yet recognized is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.5 years.

On March 27, 2025, the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors approved a grant of 1,400,000 and 700,000 RSUs to each of Kathleen Valiasek and Craig Hurlbert, respectively. The RSUs will vest in equal quarterly increments over approximatelytwo years beginning on July 1, 2025 and will continue to vest to the extent that they remain employed by the Company through each vesting date. On March 27, 2025, the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors also approved the acceleration of all RSUs previously granted to Kathleen Valiasek and Craig Hurlbert as of July 1, 2025.

  1. Net Loss Per Share

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing the Company’s net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share of common stock is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities, including restricted stock awards and units, convertible preferred stock, and common stock warrants using the treasury stock method or the if-converted method, as applicable. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, basic net loss per share was the same as diluted net loss per share because the inclusion of all potentially dilutive securities outstanding was anti-dilutive. As such, the numerator and denominator used in computing both basic and diluted net loss attributable to common stockholders is the same for all periods presented.

The Company follows the two-class method to compute net loss per share when shares are issued that meet the definition of participating securities. The two-class method requires income available to common stockholders for the period to be allocated between common and participating securities based upon their respective rights to share in the earnings of the Company as if all income for the period had been distributed. The two-class method also requires losses for the period to be allocated between common and participating securities only if the participating securities are contractually obligated to fund the losses of the issuing entity or the contractual redemption amount related to the participating securities is reduced as a result of losses incurred by the issuing entity. In computing net loss per share, the Company's unvested restricted common stock and warrants are not considered participating securities.

Net loss per share includes 550,000 shares underlying the U.S. Bounti Warrant, which is exercisable at $0.125 per share. Because the exercise price is nominal relative to the current market price of the Company's common shares, these shares are not considered contingently issuable and are therefore included in net loss per share.

The following table sets forth the computation of the Company's net loss per share attributable to common stockholders:

  1. Segment Reporting

The Company has a single operating and reportable segment that derives its revenue from customers through the production and sale of agricultural produce, consisting primarily of grown living and loose leaf lettuce, arugula, bok choy, and basil. All of the Company's revenue is generated in the U.S. and the Company manages its business activities on a consolidated basis. The Company’s chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance, and allocating resources.

The CODM assesses segment performance and decides how to allocate resources based on net loss, which is also reported on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, and net cash generated by or used in operating activities, which is also reported on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as total assets. Significant expenses reviewed by the CODM include those that are presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Segment operating results, including significant expenses regularly provided to the CODM, along with a reconciliation of segment operating loss to consolidated net loss, are as follows:
