Sow Good Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results

IRVING, Texas, Aug. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sow Good Inc. (Nasdaq: SOWG) (“Sow Good” or “the Company”), a trailblazer in the freeze dried candy and treat industry, is reporting financial and operating results for second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

“The second quarter marked a meaningful turning point for Sow Good,” said Claudia Goldfarb, CEO of Sow Good. “Operations continued to stabilize, and we saw sustained momentum and growing demand for our brand. While short-term production delays temporarily impacted revenue timing, demand accelerated—outpacing output due to temporary labor shortages. We’re actively scaling our workforce and streamlining operations to meet this growth head-on.

“With operations now stable following early disruption from major CPG entrants, we’ve refocused on scaling as a category leader. In Q2 and early July, we fulfilled all Halloween shipments and deepened our partnerships with Five Below and Albertsons, both expanding SKU counts and order volumes. Performance at Ace Hardware and Orgill remains strong, our innovation pipeline is gaining traction, and there’s early excitement around our freeze dried yogurt snacks and caramel offerings. We also launched in the UAE, where results are exceeding expectations—validating global appetite for our brand and laying the groundwork for further expansion. In parallel, we’re advancing strategic conversations that could unlock additional shelf space, private label programs, and category growth.

“Looking ahead, our focus remains on disciplined execution, cost optimization, and innovation. With a stable supply chain and strengthening retail demand, we believe we’re well-positioned to reaccelerate growth. Our teams are operating with urgency and purpose, and we’re confident in our strategy as we build toward a stronger second half.”

Second Quarter 2025 Highlights

  • Revenue in the second quarter of 2025 was $1.9 million compared to $15.6 million for the same period in 2024. The decline reflects softer demand, driven primarily by increased competitive pressure and, to a lesser extent, production delays that impacted anticipated sequential sales growth.
  • Gross loss in the second quarter of 2025 was $0.1 million compared to gross profit of $9.0 million in the previous year’s quarter. Gross margin was (7%) in the second quarter of 2025 compared to 58% in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to decreased sales coupled with increased occupancy costs.
  • Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2025 were $3.9 million compared to $4.1 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease was largely due to lower bonus compensation.
  • Net loss in the second quarter of 2025 was $4.2 million, or $(0.36) per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $3.3 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, for the same period in 2024. The decrease is primarily due to the lower revenue.
  • Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure defined and reconciled herein) in the second quarter of 2025 was $(2.7) million compared to $6.2 million for the same period in 2024. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the nearest comparable GAAP metric, net income, please see the tables below.
  • Cash and cash equivalents were $1.0 million at June 30, 2025, compared to $1.6 million at March 31, 2025, and $3.7 million at December 31, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures 

This press release contains “non-GAAP financial measures” that are financial measures that either exclude or include amounts that are not excluded or included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Specifically, we make use of the non-GAAP financial measure “Adjusted EBITDA.” Adjusted EBITDA has been presented in this press release as a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of our performance that is not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, provision for income tax, and share-based compensation, and loss on early extinguishment of debt. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net income (loss). Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized term under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as a measure of financial performance or cash provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition, in evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future, we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA. The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and can differ significantly from company to company.

We present this non-GAAP measure because we believe it assists investors and analysts in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in highlighting trends in our operating performance, while other measures can differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which we operate, and capital investments. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to supplement GAAP measures of performance in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, to establish discretionary annual incentive compensation, and to compare our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures. Management supplements GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone provide.

There are a number of limitations related to the use of Adjusted EBITDA rather than net income (loss), which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

  • Adjusted EBITDA excludes stock-based compensation expense as it has recently been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring non-cash expense for our business;
  • Adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization expense and, although this is a non-cash expense, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future;
  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the cash requirements necessary to service interest on our debt which affects the cash available to us;
  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the monies earned from our investments since it does not reflect our core operations;
  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the loss on early extinguishment of debt since it does not reflect our core operations and is a non-cash expense;
  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income tax expense that affects cash available to us; and
  • the expenses and other items that we exclude in our calculations of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from the expenses and other items, if any, that other companies may exclude from Adjusted EBITDA when they report their operating results.

In addition, other companies may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison.

Statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, including, among others, statements regarding the offering, expected growth, and future capital expenditures, are forward-looking statements.
