Aterian, Inc. reported a significant decline in sales and continued losses in the first half of 2025 as trade policy changes and softer consumer demand weighed on its business. Net revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 was $19.46 million, down 30.5% from $27.98 million a year earlier, and six-month revenue fell to $34.82 million from $48.20 million. The company recorded a quarterly net loss of $4.86 million and a six-month net loss of $8.76 million, with net loss per share of $0.63 for the quarter and $1.16 year-to-date. Gross margin contracted to 54.3% for the quarter as tariffs raised cost of goods sold and the company implemented price increases that reduced unit volumes.

The balance sheet shows $10.50 million of unrestricted cash and total cash and restricted cash of $11.69 million at June 30, 2025, inventory of $18.50 million, and an accumulated deficit of $720.4 million. Aterian is in compliance with its MidCap credit covenants as of June 30, 2025 and expects compliance through at least September 30, 2026, but discloses substantial doubt about near-term liquidity without additional capital.
