TROY, Mich., May 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Agrify Corporation (NASDAQ:AGFY) ("Agrify" or the "Company"), a leading provider of innovative cultivation and extraction solutions for the cannabis industry, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.

First Quarter 2024 Financial Results Summary

• Revenue was $2.6 million for the first quarter of 2024, compared to $5.8 million for the first quarter of 2023.
• Gross profit was $0.73 million for the first quarter of 2024, compared to a gross profit of $1 million for the first quarter of 2023.
• Operating loss was $0.8 million for the first quarter of 2024, compared to $7.6 million in the first quarter of 2023.
• Net loss for the first quarter of 2024 was $0.04 million, compared to $10 million in the first quarter of 2023.

"Following our first positive quarter in the fourth quarter of 2023, we are pleased to witness a sustained improvement in our business, marking another near break-even quarter. We have observed a notable uptick in extraction sales, particularly among prominent multi-state operators (MSOs). Additionally, consumable and part sales are on the rise as the supply of second-hand equipment diminishes, compelling operators to upgrade or replace their existing machinery. The success of our customer's Las Vegas facility using our VFU technology has reignited interest in our VFUs, attracting both new and existing operators seeking advanced cultivation technology to enhance flower quality" stated Raymond Chang, Chairman and CEO of Agrify.
