(1) Organic revenue growth excludes the impact of divestitures and acquisitions
BONITA SPRINGS, Fla., March 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Innovative Food Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: IVFH) (“IVFH” or the “Company”), a national seller of gourmet specialty foods to professional chefs, today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and total fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
Bill Bennett, Chief Executive Officer of IVFH, remarked, “2024 marked tremendous progress against our strategic plan as we finished our first phase (stabilization) and began our second phase (building the foundation for growth). Contributing to these efforts, we brought on a new CFO, added two new large distributor partners, on-boarded a large new retail customer, and completed two new acquisitions. Additionally, we sold our headquarters building, our direct-to-consumer e-commerce businesses, and several other smaller entities. These bold moves drove a significant improvement in our financials, with revenue growing 2.5% in the face of significant divestitures. Organic revenue growth, which excludes the impact of divestitures and acquisitions, was +11.4% for the full year. GAAP net income increased by $6.2 million in 2024 to $2.5 million, and adjusted EBITDA increased 18.5% during the year to $3.2 million. This improvement occurred despite significant inventory liquidation related to our divested businesses, and material upfront startup costs related to our new retail customer. These items contributed to an 85 basis point decline in gross margin, which was offset by a reduction in SG&A spend. Excluding non-cash stock compensation and non-recurring fees, SG&A spend decreased by approximately $1.0 million in 2024, amounting to 191 basis points of revenue. This is in addition to a reduction of over $1 million in 2023. It is exciting to see the growth and earnings potential of the organization begin to shine.”
Key Fourth Quarter data points:
- Revenue of $23.0 million, +19.2% vs. Q4 2023
- Organic revenue growth (1) of +44.3% vs. Q4 2023
- Gross margin declined by 235 basis points vs. Q4 2023 to 20.9%
- GAAP net income (loss) from continuing operations of ($0.2) million vs. ($1.4) million in Q4 2023
- GAAP net income (loss) from continuing operations per fully diluted share of ($0.001) vs. ($0.034) in Q4 2023
- Non-GAAP adjusted net income from continuing operations of $618 thousand vs. $197 thousand in Q4 2023
- Non-GAAP adjusted net income per fully diluted share of $0.012 vs. $0.004 in Q4 2023
- Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $880 thousand vs. $559 thousand in Q4 2023
- Completed acquisition of Denver-based Golden Organics and Fort Collins-based LoCo Food Distribution
- New retail sales channel generated $5.3 million in revenue
- New acquisitions contributed $838 thousand in revenue
(1) Organic revenue growth excludes the impact of divestitures and acquisitions
Mr. Bennett continued, “Q4 2024 represented the first quarter of the ramp up of our new retail customer, as well as six weeks of contribution from our new Golden Organics business, and one week from our new LoCo Foods Distribution business. While revenue grew 19.2% compared to last year, organic revenue growth, which excludes the impact of divestitures and acquisitions, was an impressive 44.3% despite continued softness in our business with our largest drop ship customer. The new retail customer accounted for 79% of the increase in organic revenue. Despite a 235 basis point decline in our total company gross margin rate, gross margin dollars rose by $0.3 million on an additional $3.7 million in revenue. Excluding non-cash stock compensation and non-recurring fees, SG&A spend increased by $86 thousand, with SG&A as a percentage of revenue improving by 377 basis points. We are pleased with this performance, as we effectively managed expenses while significantly increasing growth-related spending compared to the same period last year. GAAP Net Income improved by $1.2 million vs. Q4 2023. Adjusted EBITDA improved by $321 thousand vs. Q4 2023 to $880 thousand in Q4 2024, despite the profit headwind of approximately $700 thousand driven by the ramp up of the retail business.”
Mr. Bennett added, “We’re very pleased to see our new growth businesses and acquisitions begin to materialize this quarter and demonstrate the growth potential of the Company. We also continue to see strong growth with our new national distributor partner announced last Spring, triple-digit growth in our Amazon sales channel, double-digit growth in our airline catering business, and double-digit growth in our Chicago Artisan business. In fact, we are continuing to experience greater than 25% organic growth in the first quarter-to-date of 2025. We’re also thrilled to have recently announced in Q1 of 2025 that the large retail customer we on-boarded in 2024 has expanded their program with us, and that we won a first-class custom cheese program with an international airline, which represents a new line of business for us.”
“The Company has a solid foundation, a passionate and committed team, and an industry with tremendous long-term potential. We recognize the importance of maintaining a laser focus on our top priorities in a complex economic environment to create a robust, profitable, and sustainable business model. As we navigate the ever-changing landscape of the food industry, we believe in our ability to adapt, innovate, and capitalize on opportunities focused on driving long-term shareholder value,” concluded Mr. Bennett.

(1) Includes non-cash depreciation and amortization charges.
(2) Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization
(3) Includes stock and options-based compensation and expenses.
(4) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP metric. Management believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and other non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors because the information may allow investors to better evaluate ongoing business performance and certain components of the Company’s results. In addition, the Company believes that the presentation of these financial measures enhances an investor’s ability to make period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s operating results. This information should be considered in addition to the results presented in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered a substitute for the GAAP results.
(5) Adjusted Net Income accounts for the impact of non-core expenses including addback for one-time organizational restructure expenses, gains or losses on sale of assets or subsidiaries, tradename impairments, amortization expense, expense on the extinguishment of debt, and stock related expenses in both 2024 and 2023
(6) GAAP weighted average shares outstanding.
(7) Adjusted Gross profit is gross profit adjusted to remove the impact of inventory reserve adjustments or non-recurring inventory related gains or losses.
(8) Maintenance Capital Expenditures is a component of “Acquisition of property and equipment (GAAP)” on the consolidated statement of cash flows. It represents management’s assumptions of capital spending to maintain the company’s current level of operations. It does not include expenditures on acquisitions (less cash acquired), nor does it include other capital expenditures made to fund growth of the current business.
(9) Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less interest expense, income tax expense, and maintenance capital expenditures. The company believes adjusted free cash flow is useful to investors in understanding how existing cash flow from operations before working capital changes and non-recurring items after maintenance capital expenditures (which we believe the best proxy for over time is Adjusted EBITDA less interest expense, income tax expense, and maintenance capital expenditures) is utilized as a source of growing our business. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is not a measure of cash available for discretionary expenditures since the company has certain non-discretionary obligations that were not deducted from the measure.
