Insights

Agricultural Finance Analyst

Local Bounti reports 28% revenue growth while reducing costs, but still operates at a loss with positive EBITDA now expected in early 2026.

Local Bounti's Q2 2025 results demonstrate a company in transition, balancing promising revenue growth with ongoing profitability challenges. The 28% year-over-year revenue increase to $12.1 million reflects expanded production capabilities, particularly from new facilities in Texas and Washington. While impressive, this growth must be contextualized against their net loss of $21.6 million for the quarter.

The company's cost reduction strategy appears to be gaining traction, with $7 million in annualized expense reductions already implemented and an additional $2.5-3 million planned for H2 2025. These efforts are reflected in the improved Adjusted EBITDA loss of $6.5 million compared to $8.3 million in the prior year period and $8.8 million in Q1 2025.

The adjusted gross margin of 30% (excluding depreciation and non-core items) shows slight improvement from 29% in the prior year, suggesting their Stack & Flow Technology is beginning to deliver promised efficiencies. However, this margin remains insufficient to offset their operational costs.

Their capital structure has seen significant restructuring, with a recent $10 million convertible note and corresponding $10 million principal debt reduction, following a $25 million equity investment and major debt restructuring in March. The elimination of approximately $197 million in debt principal and accrued interest substantially improves their balance sheet, though their cash position of $13.2 million remains relatively tight given their burn rate.

The delayed timeline for positive adjusted EBITDA, now pushed to early 2026 rather than late 2025, signals that the path to profitability is taking longer than initially projected. This revised outlook honestly acknowledges that facility ramp-ups and retail partner adoption cycles are proceeding more gradually than expected, a common challenge in agricultural technology scaling.

Supply Chain Strategist

Local Bounti's operational developments reveal critical supply chain dynamics in controlled environment agriculture. The completed reconfiguration of their Texas facility creates production flexibility between head lettuce and cut products, a strategic adaptation to variable market demand that many indoor farms struggle to achieve. The recently installed automated harvesting equipment should address labor challenges while improving consistency—both persistent pain points in the industry.

Their expansion of retail partnerships, particularly with Walmart now servicing 191 stores and 13 distribution centers, demonstrates the company's ability to meet the rigorous quality, volume, and logistics requirements of major retailers. This relationship is especially valuable as large retailers typically demand 99.5%+ fill rates and strict cold chain compliance.

The company's tower upgrades across Georgia, Texas, and Washington facilities represent targeted infrastructure improvements aimed at yield optimization rather than footprint expansion—a prudent approach given that many competitors have overextended capacity without securing demand. Their seed cost reduction program similarly reflects operational maturity, focusing on input efficiency while maintaining output quality.

The strategic delay in Midwest expansion pending retailer commitments shows disciplined capacity planning aligned with actual demand rather than speculative growth. This contrasts with industry peers who have frequently built facilities before securing offtake agreements, leading to underutilized assets.

The April launch of their salad kit line and development of larger family-sized options demonstrates value-added product diversification beyond commodity greens, addressing the critical need for margin improvement through processing. Their expanded relationship with a home delivery service partner further diversifies distribution channels beyond traditional retail.

Reports 28% Year-Over-Year Revenue Growth Driven by Expanded Facility Operations and Strengthened Retail Relationships

Achieved $7 Million in Annualized Expense Reductions in the First Half of 2025 with Additional $2.5 to $3 Million of Cost Optimization Initiatives to be Actioned in the Second Half of 2025

Closed on $10 Million Convertible Note and Amended Credit Facility with $10 Million Principal Debt Reduction

HAMILTON, Mont., Aug. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Local Bounti Corporation (NYSE: LOCL) ("Local Bounti" or the "Company"), a breakthrough U.S. indoor agriculture company, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Kathleen Valiasek, President, CEO and CFO of Local Bounti, stated, "Our team continues to execute with discipline on cost management, delivering approximately $7 million in annualized expense reductions across operating expenses and cost of goods sold in the first half of 2025, plus an additional $2.5 to $3 million of annualized savings measures to be actioned in the second half of 2025, with more to come in 2026. Local Bounti has made remarkable progress towards building a sustainable financial model, driven by our patented Stack & Flow Technology® that delivers superior unit economics at scale. We've gained critical insights from our retail partners that are helping to optimize our commercial approach, and we continue to expect significant revenue growth in the second half of 2025 with sequential improvements accelerating in the fourth quarter as we realize a greater benefit from both the Texas and Washington facilities. While our team's execution remains strong, our path to profitability is inherently tied to our retail partners as we scale alongside their product rollout and store reset timelines.  We are building the foundation for a high-growth, high-margin business by expanding door counts with new and existing customers and reliably serving them with safer, healthier, more sustainable products that consumers enjoy. We believe this strategic alignment could position us to achieve positive adjusted EBITDA in early 2026."

Craig Hurlbert, Executive Chairman of Local Bounti, stated, "The confidence our strategic investors continue to show in Local Bounti's vision and execution is evident in their recent $10 million capital infusion and commensurate debt reduction, strengthening our balance sheet at a critical inflection point. We've built a streamlined, focused organization with world-class talent, and Dane Almassy's addition as our Chief Commercial Officer completes a commercial team capable of unlocking the full potential of our revolutionary Stack & Flow Technology, and the added capacity that's coming online. As we enter this next phase of growth, we believe we have the right team, the right technology, and a significantly improved capital structure to capture the massive opportunity ahead in sustainable food production."

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Summary

• Sales increased 28% to $12.1 million in the second quarter of 2025, as compared to $9.4 million in the prior year period. The increase was due to increased production and growth in sales from the facility in Georgia and sales from the Company's new facilities in Texas and Washington, which began shipping and selling products in the second quarter of 2024.
• Gross profit was $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted gross margin percentage¹ was approximately 30%, excluding depreciation and stock-based compensation, and other non-core items, as compared to 29% in the prior year period.
• General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.6 million to $8.0 million in the second quarter of 2025, as compared to $8.6 million in the prior year period. Adjusted general and administrative expense¹, which excludes stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and other non-core items was $4.3 million, a decrease of $1.7 million compared to prior year period. During the first half of 2025, the Company reduced its annualized expenses by approximately $7 million (to include operating expenses and cost of goods sold).
• Net loss was $21.6 million in the second quarter of 2025 as compared to net loss of $25.3 million for the prior year period, primarily due to lower net interest expense resulting from the debt restructuring activities the Company completed in the first quarter of 2025.
• Adjusted EBITDA¹ loss improved to $6.5 million, as compared to a loss of $8.3 million in the prior year period, and $8.8 million in the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA loss for the second quarter of 2025 excludes $2.3 million in stock-based compensation, $4.6 million in interest expense, $5.9 million of depreciation and amortization, $1.5 million loss on change in fair value of warrant liability, and other non-core items.

Commercial Facilities Update

Texas Facility Reconfiguration Complete

As previously reported, we reconfigured three acres of the Texas facility—originally designed for head lettuce production—to create a flexible growing environment capable of producing both head lettuce and cut products based on customer preferences. The retrofit was completed in late July, and the facility is now operating at full harvestable capacity in early August. The automated harvesting equipment installation is now complete and operational, replacing the temporary harvester used during the second quarter, and is expected to begin driving anticipated operational efficiencies and margin improvements in late third quarter.

Yield Improvement & Cost Reduction Initiatives

The Company is making significant progress on yield improvement and cost reduction initiatives across its facility network. Tower upgrades at the Georgia facility are expected to be completed in late August, with similar additional tower upgrades planned for Texas and Washington facilities in late August and early September, respectively. These upgrades are designed to enhance production efficiency and increase yield capacity across the Company's Stack & Flow Technology platform. The Company is also advancing its seed cost reduction program at its Texas and Washington facilities, with anticipated implementation expected throughout the third and fourth quarters of 2025. This program is designed to optimize seed costs while maintaining the high-quality standards that Local Bounti's customers expect, building on previous successful implementations at the Company's Georgia facility that have demonstrated meaningful cost reductions. Looking ahead, the Company has targeted additional cost reduction initiatives in the range of $2.5 to $3 million, annualized, to be actioned in the second half of 2025, with additional measures to follow in 2026.

Capacity Expansion Project

Plans remain in place to build additional capacity across the Company's network of facilities enabled with its patented Stack & Flow Technology. The expansions are designed to provide additional capacity and allow for the Company's growing product assortment to meet existing demand from Local Bounti's direct relationships with blue-chip retailers and distributors. The timing and scope of these projects, including plans to expand into the Midwest, remain under review pending ongoing discussions with retailers to optimize those facilities for specific products in support of retail commitments and strategies to expand distribution.

Product Development & Distribution

Building on the momentum achieved in the first quarter, Local Bounti successfully launched its salad kit line in April 2025, expanding its grab-and-go product offerings to better serve retail partners and consumer trends. The Company continues to develop new pack sizes to deliver value to consumers and expects to launch a new, larger, family-sized Caesar salad kit with a large multi-national retailer in the Pacific Northwest early in the fourth quarter.  The Company is also expanding its relationship with a leading home delivery service partner, launching four new private label salad kits in mid-September, bringing its total offerings with the customer to six.

Local Bounti's relationship with Walmart continues to grow, building on the 191 stores already being supplied with premium baby leaf varieties. The Company has also secured an expanded commitment to serve 13 Walmart distribution centers with Conventional Living Butter Lettuce, with shipments having commenced in late April from both its California and Texas facilities.

Capital Structure

The Company ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $13.2 million as of June 30, 2025.

Subsequent to the quarter end, on August 4, 2025, Local Bounti announced that it closed on $10 million of financing through a convertible note agreement with an existing investor. In conjunction with this agreement, the Company also amended its existing senior credit facility to reduce the principal balance by $10 million, the terms of which remain consistent with the restructured agreements entered into on March 31, 2025

Prior to the beginning of the second quarter, in March 2025, Local Bounti closed a $25 million equity investment from new and existing investors and amended its existing credit facility, which resulted in a new $312 million senior secured debt agreement with a new 10-year term and no cash interest or principal payments until April 2027. The transaction resulted in the cancellation of approximately $197 million of debt principal and accrued interest. Additionally, the Company continues to execute on other financing arrangements, such as an equipment leasing transaction where it expects to recoup approximately $2.3 million in cash. Combined with the recent additional financing and principal debt reduction, these transactions demonstrate the continued confidence of the Company's strategic financing partners and position Local Bounti with significantly improved liquidity and capital structure flexibility.

As of June 30, 2025, Local Bounti had approximately 21.8 million shares outstanding, 10.7 million preferred shares outstanding, 6.2 million common shares under warrants outstanding, and approximately 3.4 million restricted stock units outstanding. As of June 30, 2025, including these warrants and restricted stock units, the Company had a fully diluted share count of approximately 31.4 million shares outstanding.

Financial Outlook

The Company expects modest sequential sales growth in third quarter 2025, followed by an acceleration in the fourth quarter of 2025. This acceleration is expected to be supported by a convergence of activity, including the full-quarter contribution from the Texas facility transition, the additional capacity from the Georgia facility yield improvement, new product introductions and expansions with existing customers.

The Company expects sequential improvements in its adjusted EBITDA loss rate in both the third and fourth quarters of 2025, driven by sales growth, cost reduction initiatives, and the ramp from its Washington and Texas facilities. Based on enhanced visibility into customer timelines and commercial ramp schedules, the Company now expects to achieve positive adjusted EBITDA in early 2026, as it scales alongside retail deployment schedules to ensure sustainable, profitable growth.
