Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Hydrofarm Holdings Group, Inc. completed the sale of its Aurora Peat Products business for $16 million, including a $5 million promissory note, with net proceeds to be applied to reduce outstanding debt under its $125 million senior secured term loan.

Pro forma as of March 31, 2026, the transaction reduces the current portion of long-term debt from $114,419 thousand to $104,499 thousand and narrows 2025 net loss from $289,790 thousand to $287,620 thousand. Hydrofarm also entered a reciprocal supply agreement with the divested peat business and launched Project Agility to scale its logistics services platform.

Positive

  • $14,880 of net proceeds from the Aurora Peat sale are applied to reduce outstanding debt under Hydrofarm’s $125 million senior secured term loan, cutting 2025 pro forma interest expense from 13,427 to 11,795 (in thousands).

Negative

  • None.

Filing Explained

Net proceeds are $14,880 thousand, including a $5 million note, while debt reduction is described as a use of proceeds rather than a completed payment.

The completed July 31, 2026 sale produced $14,880 thousand of net proceeds, rather than $16 million of cash: $9,880 thousand is cash and $5 million is a promissory note after estimated transaction adjustments.

The company says the net proceeds will be applied to its $125 million term loan; the pro forma balance sheet shows a $9,920 thousand reduction in current long-term debt as of March 31, 2026.

The pro forma exhibits are unaudited, informational reconstructions showing how the sale might have affected earlier financial statements; they do not represent the company’s actual condition or results after closing and do not project future periods.

The filing identifies collectability of the $5 million promissory note as a risk item affecting the proceeds’ economics.

Share Purchase Agreement regulatory
"entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with 2817049 Alberta Ltd."
A share purchase agreement is a written contract that outlines the terms and conditions for buying and selling shares of a company. It specifies details like the price, number of shares, and any special conditions, ensuring both buyer and seller agree on the transaction. For investors, it provides clarity and legal protection, making sure the purchase is clear and enforceable.
secured promissory note financial
"entered into a secured promissory note on the Closing Date"
A secured promissory note is a written promise to repay borrowed money that is backed by specific assets pledged as collateral; if the borrower fails to pay, the lender can seize those assets to recover losses. Investors care because the collateral reduces the lender’s risk and can make the loan safer and more likely to be repaid, similar to a pawnshop loan where an item lowers the lender’s exposure if the borrower defaults.
senior secured term loan financial
"Company’s $125 million senior secured term loan (the “Term Loan”)"
A senior secured term loan is a type of borrowing where a company borrows money and promises to pay it back over a fixed period, with the loan secured by the company's assets as collateral. Because it is "senior," it has priority over other debts if the company faces financial trouble, and being "secured" means lenders have a claim on specific assets. For investors, this makes the loan a safer and more predictable investment compared to unsecured or subordinate debts.
transition services agreement financial
"entered into a transition services agreement ("TSA") with the Buyer"
A transition services agreement is a formal arrangement where one company continues to provide essential services—such as IT, human resources, or accounting—to another company after a business deal or change in ownership. It acts like a temporary bridge, ensuring smooth operations during a transition period. For investors, it provides clarity on how long support will last and helps assess potential costs and stability during the change.
pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements financial
"The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements presented below"
controlled environment agriculture technical
"supplies for controlled environment agriculture (“CEA”)"
Controlled environment agriculture is the practice of growing fruits, vegetables or herbs inside purpose-built spaces—such as greenhouses or indoor farms—where light, temperature, humidity and water are tightly managed to produce consistent crops year-round. Investors watch it because it turns farming into a predictable, scalable operation (like a factory for plants), affecting yields, costs, supply reliability and price stability, and therefore the revenue and risk profile of businesses involved.

Hydrofarm Completes Sale of Aurora Peat Products and Launches Project Agility to Scale Its Logistics Services Platform

 

$16 million transaction reduces debt and simplifies the Companys operating footprint         

 

 

SHOEMAKERSVILLE, Pa., August 3, 2026 — Hydrofarm Holdings Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: HYFM) (“Hydrofarm” or the “Company”), today announced that it has completed the sale of Aurora Peat Products ULC (“Aurora Peat”) to Raven Holdings LLC, a private company, for total consideration of $16 million, a portion of which is represented by a promissory note in the amount of $5 million. The Aurora Peat sale proceeds will be applied to reduce outstanding Term Loan debt, and the sale also removes the capital spend of owning and operating peat harvesting assets. Aurora Peat will continue producing and marketing high-quality peat products for the global horticultural market under private ownership led by longtime operators in the peat industry. The two companies will continue an ongoing commercial relationship whereby Aurora Peat remains a supplier to Hydrofarm’s grow media business, and Hydrofarm will continue to distribute Aurora Peat’s consumer gardening products pursuant to the terms of a supply agreement.

 

“The Aurora Peat sale is a key strategic step toward optimizing our portfolio and focus, and strengthening the Company’s capital structure,” said Bill Toler, Chief Executive Officer. “Aurora Peat is a sound business, and it is going to owners who know the peat industry well. For Hydrofarm, the divestiture continues to simplify our operating model and reduce debt. We are committed to our strategic priorities to drive high-quality revenue streams, and improve profit margins and profitability. We are excited about our core CEA business including our proprietary brand offerings, and heightened focus on our logistics services business, which has been a key driver in reducing our facility costs the past few years.”

 

“As part of Aurora Peat Products' previous management team, several key members and I are grateful to return with the opportunity to carry the business forward to a new level of success,” said Bowe McGinnis, Manager of Raven Holdings LLC. “For our customers, the important things remain unchanged as they have for Aurora Peat Products' decades of history - our product quality, reliability, and supply commitments remain paramount. We are also enthusiastic about expansion opportunities, as Aurora Peat has secured one of the largest premium-quality Sphagnum peat moss reserves in North America. We deeply value our continuing relationship with Hydrofarm, a key partner on the supply side. By combining their top-notch distribution network with our focus on bulk peat and mix sales, we create the perfect partnership. We are excited for this strategy to support our customers and grow revenue across all categories.”

 

“The actions in our announcement today support a change in Hydrofarm’s trajectory - we are now a leaner and more focused organization,” said Eric Ceresnie, Senior Vice President of Strategy, Corporate Development and International Markets. “We are also excited to announce Project Agility, which will drive resources to scale our logistics services platform as we pursue opportunities in adjacent high-growth sectors. While the logistics services business currently represents only a small portion of our operating results, our global distribution center footprint and operational excellence position us well going forward.”

Exhibit 99.2

 

Hydrofarm Holdings Group, Inc.

 

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information

 

On August 6, 2026 Hydrofarm Holdings Group Inc. ("HYFM" or the "Company") filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to disclose that, among other things, the sale of its Aurora Peat Products business ("APP") was completed on July 31, 2026 (the "Closing Date"). The Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), dated July 31, 2026, between the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Aurora International, LLC and 2817049 Alberta Ltd. ("Buyer"). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company sold APP to the Buyer for $16 million, a portion of which is represented by a promissory note in the amount of $5 million and subject to customary adjustments for cash, indebtedness, working capital and transaction expenses as set forth in the Purchase Agreement (the “Transaction”). The net proceeds from the sale of APP will be applied to reduce outstanding debt under the Company’s $125 million senior secured term loan (the “Term Loan”). 

 

The sale of APP constitutes a significant disposition for purposes of Item 2.01 of Form 8-K. 

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements presented below consist of an Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2026 and Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and for the year ended December 31, 2025.

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is intended to show how the sale of APP might have affected the historical financial statements of the Company if the transaction had been completed at an earlier time as indicated herein. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X and were derived from the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements and are being presented to give effect to the sale of APP. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with:

 

i.     The audited historical financial statements of the Company and the accompanying notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on March 27, 2026; and

 

ii.  The unaudited interim historical consolidated financial statements of the Company, the accompanying notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2026 filed with the SEC on May 15, 2026.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are based on available information and assumptions that the Company’s management believes are reasonable as of the date of this filing. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2026 adjusts the Company’s assets, liabilities, and stockholders' equity to reflect the sale of APP as of March 31, 2026. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and for the year ended December 31, 2025 reflect the disposition of APP for all periods presented. In addition, the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2026 and the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and for the year ended December 31, 2025, reflect certain "Pro Forma Adjustments" that are incremental to those related to the sale of APP, as discussed above. The Pro Forma Adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2026 and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the periods ending March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are reflected as if the transaction had occurred on March 31, 2026, January 1, 2026, and January 1, 2025, respectively.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is provided for informational purposes only and does not purport to represent the Company’s actual financial condition or results of operations had the APP sale occurred on the dates indicated nor does it project the Company’s results of operations or financial condition for any future period or date. The Company has prepared the unaudited pro forma condensed financial information based on available information using certain assumptions that it believes are reasonable. As a result, the actual results reported by the Company in periods following the APP sale may differ materially from this unaudited pro forma condensed financial information.

Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

 

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2026, and the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and year ended December 31, 2025, include the following adjustments:

 

A

Reflects the sale of APP pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, adjustments required to record the estimated cash proceeds (net of transaction costs) received in connection with the sale of APP and recognition of the estimated gain on sale in retained earnings (accumulated deficit) as if the transaction had occurred on March 31, 2026.

 

i

Estimated net cash proceeds in connection with the sale of APP are as follows:

Base purchase price

16,000

Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment

(695​

)

Closing cash

 

 

193

 

Total consideration

15,498

Estimated transaction costs

(618

)

Net proceeds

14,880

Net proceeds - Cash

9,880

Net proceeds - Note receivable

5,000

Net proceeds

14,880

 

Purchase price adjustment includes items specified in the terms of the Purchase Agreement including preliminary estimates for closing net working capital and closing indebtedness.

 

ii

Reflects the release of currency translation adjustments directly attributable to APP in the amount of $2.5 million.

 

iii

Estimated gain on the sale of APP, assuming HYFM completed the sale as of March 31, 2026, is as follows:

Net proceeds

14,880

Net assets sold

(11,753

)

Accumulated other comprehensive loss

(2,503

)

Pre-tax gain on sale

624

 

 

For purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet, the estimated gain recognized in retained earnings (accumulated deficit) is based on the net carrying value of APP as of March 31, 2026 rather than as of the Closing Date of the transaction. As a result, the estimated loss reflected herein may differ materially from the actual loss on the sale of APP as of the Closing Date because of the differences in the carrying value of assets and liabilities at the Closing Date.

 

B

Reflects the reclassification of the operations of APP.

 

C

Reflects additional Pro Forma Adjustments which show how the APP sale may have affected HYFM's historical condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2026 and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the periods ending March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are reflected as if the transaction had occurred on March 31, 2026, January 1, 2026, and January 1, 2025, respectively.

 

iv

Reflects partial repayment of the Term Loan, including outstanding interest, consisting of (x) $9.9 million net cash proceeds from the Transaction and (y) $5.0 million represented by the principal amount of the secured promissory note issued by the Buyer to HYFM on the Closing Date and subsequently assigned to the agent for the lenders of the Company's Term Loan.

 

v

Includes an adjustment of $2.1 million for changes in deferred taxes as a result of the sale of APP.

 

vi

In conjunction with the sale of APP, HYFM entered into a transition services agreement ("TSA") with the Buyer. Under the terms of the TSA, HYFM will provide certain post-closing services on an interim basis. The adjustment reflects estimated income of $0.1 million and estimated incremental expenses of nil from these services over a three-month period.

 

vii

Reflects the reduction of interest expense related to the repayment and partial redemption of HYFM's Term Loan maturing in October 2028.

 

viii

Reflects transactions between HYFM and APP that were historically eliminated in consolidation.
