Quarter and Six Months Results

Net Revenue

Net revenue was $23.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $16.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase is primarily due to the shift of the Easter holiday into the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the prior quarter in the prior year. Revenue also increased due to an increase in stems sold for the Mother's Day holiday.

Net revenue was $35.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $25.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase is primarily due to the timing of the acquisition of Bloomia. Revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2025 reflect a full six months compared to 2024 which includes the period from the acquisition date of February 22, 2024 through June 30, 2024. Revenue also increased due to stronger Mother's Day sales.

In 2024, inventory was written up to fair value related to the acquisition of Bloomia, and $0.2 million of amortization costs were included in the period. The first half of the calendar year historically has the highest sales and efficiencies. Excluding the one-time amortization in the prior year, gross profit as a percent of revenue decreased primarily due to higher bulb costs.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations

This press release includes EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Bloomia Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures, which are not calculated or presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), have been provided as information supplemental and in addition to the financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. Such non-GAAP financial measures are not substitutes for, or as an alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the respective GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures presented may differ from similarly named measures used by other companies.

Included below are reconciliations of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) from continuing operations, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, the cash requirements for the replacement of depreciated and amortized assets, or changes in cash requirements for our working capital needs. We have included these non-GAAP performance measures as a comparable measure to eliminate the effects of non-recurring transactions that occurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. We believe EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Bloomia Adjusted EBITDA provide meaningful supplemental information about our operating performance as this measure excludes amounts from income from discontinued operations that we do not consider part of our core operating results when assessing our performance. Items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA consist of acquisition-related costs and other costs, such as the cost of inventory that was stepped up to fair value as a result of the purchase accounting related to our acquisition of a majority interest in Bloomia.

The following table reconciles net income (loss) from continuing operations to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

We believe these non-GAAP financial measures will be useful to permit investors to compare results with prior periods that did not include the one-time events and the resulting accounting charges. Management has used EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and Bloomia Adjusted EBITDA (a) to evaluate our historical and prospective financial performance and trends as well as our performance relative to competitors and peers; (b) to measure operational profitability consistently; (c) in presentations to the members of our Board of Directors; and (d) to evaluate compliance with covenants and restricted activities under the terms of our Credit Agreement.
