Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Laird Superfood, Inc. reported a very strong second quarter for 2026, driven by recent acquisitions and retail expansion. Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 rose 244% to $41.3 million from $12.0 million, helped by distribution gains in retail and club channels and contributions from the Navitas and Terrasoul brands. E‑commerce sales grew 221% year-over-year and represented 49% of net sales, while wholesale sales increased 269% and accounted for 51% of net sales.

Gross profit increased to $12.5 million, but gross margin declined to 30.3% from 39.9% due to channel mix, commodity inflation and lower margins at Terrasoul. The company recorded a quarterly net loss of $1.8 million, or $0.25 per share, versus a $0.4 million loss a year earlier, largely reflecting acquisition and integration costs. However, Adjusted EBITDA improved to $3.0 million from $0.1 million.

For the first half of 2026, net sales grew 134% to $55.2 million. A discrete tax benefit tied to the Navitas acquisition contributed to a year-to-date net loss of only $0.1 million. Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash increased to $23.2 million as of June 30, 2026, with no outstanding debt, supported by a $110.0 million Series A preferred stock issuance and offset by acquisition spending. Management reaffirmed full-year 2026 guidance for net sales of $138–$148 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $8–$12 million.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, was $3.0 million"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
business combination and integration financial
"The Company incurred professional fees related to business combination and integration activities"
contingent consideration financial
"Fair value of contingent consideration liability established in the acquisition of a business"
Contingent consideration is an additional payment agreed when one company buys another that will be paid later only if specific future targets are met, such as revenue, profit, or regulatory milestones. It matters to investors because it shifts risk between buyer and seller and affects the acquiring company's future cash flow and reported value — like promising a bonus after results are proven.
mezzanine equity financial
"Total mezzanine equity 110,246,852"
Mezzanine equity is a layer of financing that sits between bank loans and full ownership, combining elements of borrowed money and equity. It often gives lenders higher potential returns in exchange for taking more risk, sometimes with the option to convert into ownership or receive extra payments; think of it as a middle seat that pays more because it’s less secure than front-row debt. Investors watch it because it affects a company’s debt risk, potential dilution of ownership, and expected returns.
accretion of paid-in-kind preferred dividends financial
"Accretion of paid-in-kind preferred dividends 1,072,627"
Q2 2026 Net Sales $41.3 million Net sales increased 244% compared to $12.0 million in the corresponding prior year period

Second quarter revenue increases 244% to $41.3 million.

Net Loss of $1.8 million; Adjusted EBITDA of $3.0 million.

Cash increases to $23.2 million.

 

 

Boulder, Colorado  August 13, 2026 – Laird Superfood, Inc. (NYSE American: LSF) (“Laird Superfood,” the “Company”, “we”, and “our”), today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026

 

Jason Vieth, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Q2 was another transformational quarter for Laird Superfood as we closed the acquisition of Terrasoul Superfoods and completed the integration of Navitas into the Company’s processes, organization and ERP system. During the second quarter, we successfully launched Laird’s coffees and coffee creamers at approximately 1,000 Wal-Marts nationwide and expanded our assortment of Navitas products at retailers including Target. These wins are the direct result of our continued investment in product innovation, our robust supply chain and our deepening partnerships with the largest retailers in the country. We're also building real momentum on Amazon.com and other online marketplaces across all three of our brands. As we look to the second half of the year, we will continue to build on our sales momentum and unlocking synergies across our platforms, which gives us confidence in our ability to deliver sustained, profitable growth and long-term value for our shareholders.”

 

Second Quarter 2026 Highlights

 

  Net sales increased by 244% to $41.3 million compared to $12.0 million in the corresponding prior year period. The increase was primarily attributable to distribution expansion in our retail channel, continued strength in club stores, and the contribution of the Navitas and Terrasoul acquisitions. 
     
  E-commerce sales increased by 221% year-over-year and contributed 49% of total Net sales, led by the addition of Navitas and Terrasoul sales and strong sales growth on Amazon.com, offset in part by softness in the direct-to-consumer channel. 
     
  Wholesale sales increased by 269% year-over-year and contributed 51% of total Net sales, driven by the addition of Navitas and Terrasoul sales.
     
  Gross profit increased 162% to $12.5 million, or 30.3% of net sales as compared to $4.8 million, or 39.9% of net sales in the corresponding prior year period. The gross margin compression was attributable to unfavorable channel and product mix, inflationary commodity costs, and lower margins associated with the Terrasoul brand. 
     
  Net loss was ($1.8) million, or ($0.25) per basic and diluted share, compared to net loss of ($0.4) million, or ($0.03) per basic and diluted share, in the corresponding prior year period. The increased net loss relative to the prior year period was driven primarily by costs incurred in connection with the acquisition and integration of Navitas and Terrasoul.
     
  Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, was $3.0 million, compared to $0.1 million in the corresponding prior year period. The increase was driven primarily by the addition of Navitas and Terrasoul acquisitions early synergies realization, offset in part by inflationary commodity costs and higher marketing and selling expenses. For more details on non-GAAP financial measures, refer to the information in the non-GAAP financial measures section of this press release.

 

Year-to-Date 2026 Highlights

 

  Net sales increased by 134% to $55.2 million compared to $23.6 million in the corresponding prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by distribution expansion in retail and Club channels and the contribution of the Navitas and Terrasoul acquisitions. 
     
  E-commerce sales increased by 114% year-over-year and contributed 48% of total Net sales, led by the addition of Navitas and Terrasoul sales and strong sales growth on Amazon.com, offset in part by softness in the direct-to-consumer channel. 
     
  Wholesale sales increased by 156% year-over-year and contributed 52% of total Net sales, driven by the addition of Navitas and Terrasoul sales, as well as new and existing items expansion in the wholesale channel.
     
  Gross profit increased by 78% to $17.2 million, or 31.1% of net sales, compared to $9.7 million, or 40.9% of net sales, in the corresponding prior year period. The margin compression was attributable to unfavorable channel and product mix, inflationary commodity costs, as well as lower margins associated with the Terrasoul brand. 
     
  Net loss was ($0.1) million, or ($0.10) per basic and diluted share, compared to net loss of ($0.5) million, or ($0.05) per basic and diluted share, in the corresponding prior year period. The improvement was driven by a discrete income tax benefit related to the release of valuation allowance on deferred tax liabilities acquired in connection with the Navitas acquisition, and the contribution of Navitas and Terrasoul acquisitions, offset in part by costs incurred in connection with the acquisition and integration of Navitas and Terrasoul, and, to a lesser degree, by inflationary commodity costs.
     
  Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, was $1.8 million, compared to $0.5 million in the corresponding prior year period. The increase was attributable primarily to addition of Navitas and Terrasoul brands, offset in part by inflationary commodity costs and higher marketing and selling expenses. For more details on non-GAAP financial measures, refer to the information in the non-GAAP financial measures section of this press release.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

 

Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash as of June 30, 2026, totaled $23.2 million, as compared to $5.3 million as of December 31, 2025, and $10.5 million as of March 31, 2026. The increase in cash was primarily a result of proceeds from the issuance of Series A Preferred Stock, offset by the consideration paid in the acquisitions of Navitas in the first quarter and Terrasoul in the second quarter. There was no outstanding debt as of June 30, 2026. 

 

2026 Financial Outlook

 

We are reaffirming the full year 2026 guidance we provided last quarter. For fiscal year 2026, the Company continues to expect consolidated Net sales in the range of $138 to $148 million, reflecting a full year of Laird Superfood and the post-acquisition contributions of Navitas and Terrasoul. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $8 to $12 million for fiscal 2026. This reaffirmed guidance reflects the Company's continued confidence in growth trends across its business and the pace of synergy capture achieved to date. The Company will provide updated guidance as integration milestones are achieved and visibility into the full-year outlook improves.

 

Laird Superfood has not provided a reconciliation between its forecasted Adjusted EBITDA and net loss, its most directly comparable GAAP measure, because applicable information for future periods, on which this reconciliation would be based, is not available without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of reliable estimates for stock-based compensation, due to volatility in our stock price, and state and local income taxes, among other items. These items may vary greatly over periods and could significantly impact future financial results.

 

Conference Call and Webcast Details

 

We will host a conference call and webcast at 5:00 p.m. ET today to discuss our financial results. Participants may access the live webcast on the Laird Superfood Investor Relations website at https://investors.lairdsuperfood.com under “Events”. The webcast will be archived on the Company's website and will be available for replay for at least two weeks.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(unaudited)

 

In this press release, we report adjusted EBITDA, which is a financial measure not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company’s management uses non-GAAP financial measures, both internally and externally, to assess and communicate the financial performance of the Company. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude: (1) depreciation and amortization, (2) stock-based compensation, (3) income taxes, (4) other income, and (5) expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition and integration of Navitas and Terrasoul. The Company believes adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it facilitates comparisons of its core business operations, excluding non-cash costs and non-recurring events, across periods on a consistent basis.

 

Management uses adjusted EBITDA internally in analyzing the Company’s financial results to assess operational performance and to determine the Company’s future capital requirements. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to adjusted EBITDA in assessing its performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. The Company believes adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and others to understand and evaluate the Company’s operating results and it allows for a more meaningful comparison between the Company’s performance and that of competitors. Our use of adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider this performance measure in isolation from or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are that adjusted EBITDA does not reflect, among other things: cash capital expenditures for assets underlying depreciation and amortization expense that may need to be replaced or for new capital expenditures; interest expense; income tax expense from continuing operations; our working capital requirements; the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation; and the provision for income taxes. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.

 

Because of these limitations, you should consider adjusted EBITDA along with other financial performance measures, including Net Sales, net loss, cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, net cash used in operating activities and our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.

 

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP, to adjusted EBITDA, for each of the periods presented:
