Arcadia Biosciences (NASDAQ:RKDA) reported Q2 2025 financial results, with total revenues increasing 11% year-over-year to $1.46 million, driven by 24% growth in Zola® coconut water sales. The company maintained gross margins above 30% for ten consecutive quarters.

Key developments include receiving 2.7 million shares of Above Food Ingredients (ABVE) stock as partial repayment of a $6 million note receivable from the GoodWheat™ assets sale, and eliminating $1 million in contingent liabilities through an agreement with Bioseed Research India. However, the company recognized a $4.5 million credit loss related to the Above Food note receivable.

Q2 2025 resulted in a net loss of $4.46 million ($3.26 per share), compared to net income of $1.06 million in Q2 2024. The company's pending business combination with Roosevelt Resources continues to progress with an amended Form S-4 registration statement filed.

Insights

Arcadia shows mixed Q2 results with 11% revenue growth but $4.5M credit loss resulting in significant net loss position.

Arcadia's Q2 results present a complex financial picture with both strengths and challenges. The company achieved 11% year-over-year revenue growth to $1.45 million, driven primarily by impressive 24% growth in their Zola coconut water brand, which outperformed its category. Their gross margins have remained above 30% for ten consecutive quarters, demonstrating consistent pricing power and operational efficiency.

However, beneath these positive top-line metrics lies concerning financial strain. The company reported a net loss of $4.46 million compared to net income of $1.06 million in Q2 2024 – a substantial 520% deterioration. This swing was primarily due to a $4.5 million credit loss provision related to Above Food's promissory note from the GoodWheat asset sale last year. ABVE only delivered 2.7 million of the expected 3.5 million shares, and failed to make their scheduled May payment, forcing Arcadia to recognize this significant impairment.

The company's total operating expenses increased dramatically to $1.96 million from $(674,000) in Q2 2024, a 390% increase. This spike appears largely attributable to the absence of a one-time $4 million gain from RS durum wheat patent sales to Corteva that boosted 2024's comparative period, partially offset by a $1 million liability elimination gain in Q2 2025.

On the positive side, Arcadia has successfully streamlined operations by exiting legacy businesses and reducing SG&A costs by $560,000 year-over-year. The pending Roosevelt Resources business combination continues progressing with an amended S-4 filing addressing SEC comments. The elimination of $2 million in contingent liabilities year-to-date also strengthens their balance sheet despite the Above Food credit concerns.

-- Arcadia revenues increase 11% year over year driven by 24% growth in Zola® --

-- Arcadia receives 2.7 million shares of stock in ABVE --

-- Arcadia eliminates $1M in liabilities --

DALLAS, Aug. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Arcadia Biosciences, Inc.® (Nasdaq: RKDA), a producer and marketer of innovative wellness products, today released its financial and business results for the second quarter and first half of 2025.

“We are very pleased with our performance for the second quarter of 2025,” said T.J. Schaefer, CEO of Arcadia. “While our total revenues have increased 11% compared to the second quarter of 2024, Zola® coconut water revenues have grown 24% and once again surpassed the performance of the category. Our gross margins have now exceeded 30% for ten straight quarters, while our underlying operating expenses remain low, even with almost $700,000 in transaction fees this quarter.

“In addition to our strong operating performance, we received 2.7 million shares of stock in Above Food Ingredients Inc. as a partial repayment of the $6 million principal amount of the note receivable related to the sale of GoodWheat™ assets in the second quarter of 2024, and we continue to pursue repayment of the remaining outstanding balance. We have also completed the exit from our legacy businesses following the agreement with Bioseed Research India, which resulted in the elimination of the remaining $1 million in contingent liabilities, bringing the total to $2 million of liabilities that have been eliminated year-to-date.

“Our pending business combination with Roosevelt Resources continues to move forward,” Schaefer continued. “We recently filed an amendment to the initial Form S-4 registration statement to provide responses to comments received from the SEC and to provide updated financial information through the first quarter of 2025 for both Arcadia Biosciences and Roosevelt Resources.”

Revenues
Revenues increased $149,000, or 11%, and consisted entirely of Zola coconut water sales during the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Zola revenues increased $280,000 or 24% during the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily driven by higher sales volume. Revenues for the second quarter of 2024 included $130,000 from sales of GLA oil.

Revenues increased $362,000, or 16%, and consisted entirely of Zola coconut water sales during the first half of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Zola revenues increased $846,000, or 47% during the first half of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 driven by increased distribution and higher sales volume. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024, included $484,000 from sales of GLA oil.

Arcadia did not implement any price increases during 2024 or the first half of 2025.

Operating Expenses
Cost of revenues increased $191,000, or 30%, during the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, and they consisted entirely of Zola coconut water costs. Zola cost of revenues increased $204,000, or 33% during the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Cost of revenues for the same period in 2024 included $13,000 from GLA oil.

Cost of revenues increased by $402,000, or 36%, and consisted entirely of Zola coconut water costs during the first half of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Zola cost of revenues increased $448,000, or 42% during the first half of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Cost of revenues for the same period in 2024 included $46,000 from GLA oil.

SG&A decreased by $560,000 and $884,000 during the second quarter and first half of 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 driven by operating costs and employee related costs in 2024 that were absent in 2025.

Other operating expenses increased by $3.0 million during the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. This was driven by a $4.0 million gain on the sale of RS durum wheat patents to Corteva that occurred during the second quarter of 2024 and was absent in 2025. This was partially offset by a $1.0 million gain from the elimination of a contingent liability that occurred in the second quarter of 2025 and was the result of the agreement with Bioseed Research India to terminate the license agreement for certain intellectual property.

Other operating expenses increased by $1.3 million during the first half of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. This was driven by a $4.0 million gain on the sale of RS durum wheat patents to Corteva that occurred during the second quarter of 2024 and was absent in 2025. This was partially offset by $1.75 million in gains that occurred in the first half of 2025 and were related to the agreement with Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp to transfer rights related to reduced gluten and oxidative stability patents. The gain from 2024 was also partially offset by a $1.0 million gain from the elimination of a contingent liability that occurred in the first half of 2025 and was the result of the agreement with Bioseed Research India to terminate the license agreement for certain intellectual property.

Credit Loss and Common Stock Received
On May 1, 2025, Arcadia delivered a notice to Above Food Corp. to exercise a stock election option provided for in their Promissory Note related to the sale of GoodWheat assets in the second quarter of 2024. The notice indicated that pursuant to the provisions of the Promissory Note, the number of shares issuable was approximately 3.5 million shares of common stock of Above Food Ingredients Inc. (ABVE), satisfying the final $2 million installment payment obligation under the Promissory Note. Subsequently, ABVE issued approximately 2.7 million shares to Arcadia, partially satisfying the stock election, and the company believes approximately 800,000 shares relating to the company's stock election notice remain issuable.

Additionally, the first payment of principal and accrued interest under the Promissory Note was due on May 14, 2025, and as of June 30, 2025, had not been paid. As such, Arcadia has recognized a credit loss of $4.5 million to establish a reserve for the principal amount, accrued interest, and other related receivables that would remain after fulfillment of the stock election.

Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders
Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the second quarter of 2025 was $4.5 million, or $3.26 per share, a $5.5 million reduction from the $1.1 million net income, or $0.78 per share, for the second quarter of 2024. The reduction in net income attributable to common stockholders for the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily driven by the $4.5 million credit loss related to the note receivable from Above Food recognized during the second quarter 2025, partially offset by the $4.0 million gain on the sale of RS durum wheat patents to Corteva that occurred during the second quarter of 2024.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the first half of 2025 was $1.9 million, or $1.36 per share, a $497,000 increase from the $1.4 million net loss, or $1.00 per share, for the first half of 2024. The increase in net loss attributable to common stockholders for the first half of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily driven by the $4.5 million credit loss related to the note receivable from Above Food recognized during the first half of 2025, partially offset by the $4.0 million gain on the sale of RS durum wheat patents to Corteva that occurred during the second quarter of 2024.
