    CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     

    This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2025 (the “Quarterly Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements relate to future events including, without limitation, our ability to raise capital, our operational and strategic initiatives or our future financial performance. We have attempted to identify forward-looking statements by using terminology such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predict,” “should” or “will” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions; uncertainties and other factors may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels or activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Our expectations are as of the date this Quarterly Report is filed, and we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date this Quarterly Report is filed to confirm these statements to actual results, unless required by law.

     

    You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed in “Risk Factors,” in Part II, Item 1A of this Report as well as information provided elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as amended (the “Annual Report”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 15, 2025. You should carefully consider that information before you make an investment decision.

     

    These and other factors discussed above could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates made by any independent parties and by us.

    OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION

     

    Unless the context otherwise indicates, when used in this Quarterly Report, the terms “Eightco,” “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” and similar terms refer to Eightco Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation, and all of our consolidated subsidiaries and variable interest entities.

    NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    (Unaudited)

     

    1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     

    As used herein, “Eightco” and the “Company” refer to Eightco Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation originally incorporated on September 21, 2021 (date of inception) under the laws of the State of Nevada, and subsidiaries. On March 9, 2022, the Company converted to a Delaware corporation pursuant to a plan of conversion entered into with its former parent, Vinco Ventures, Inc. (“Vinco” or “Former Parent”). The Company operates in two main businesses: Forever 8 Inventory Cash Flow Solution and Corrugated Packaging Business. Forever 8 Fund LLC (“Forever 8”), which focuses on purchasing inventory for e-commerce retailers, was acquired by the Company on October 1, 2022, and is part of its Inventory Solution Business. The Company previously sold BTC mining equipment and developed an NFT character set under its Web3 Business but has no intention of continuing this business at this time. The Corrugated Packaging Business manufactures and sells custom packaging for a wide variety of products and helps customers generate brand awareness and promote brand image through packaging. Prior to the Separation (as defined below), the Company was 100% owned by Vinco.

     

    As of March 31, 2025, Eightco had three wholly-owned subsidiaries: Forever 8, Ferguson Containers, Inc. (“Ferguson Containers” or “Corrugated Packaging Business”) and BlockHiro, LLC. Ferguson Containers owns 100% of 8co Holdings Shared Services, LLC. Eightco owns 51% of CW Machines, LLC which is consolidated under the voting interest entity model. Under the voting interest entity model, control is presumed by the holder of a majority voting interest unless noncontrolling shareholders have substantive participating rights. Forever 8 owns 100% of Forever 8 UK, Ltd and Forever 8 Fund EU Holdings BV.

     

    During 2021, the Former Parent announced it plans to spin-off (the “Separation”) certain of its businesses. The Former Parent has included Ferguson Containers as well as other subsidiaries of the Former Parent (the “Eightco Businesses”) as part of the spin-off. In anticipation of the Separation, the Former Parent contributed its assets and legal entities comprising the Eightco Businesses to facilitate the Separation. As a result of the Separation, the Company became an independent, publicly traded company comprised of the Eightco Businesses on June 30, 2022.

     

    On March 29, 2022, Ferguson Containers ownership was assigned by the Former Parent to the Company. This transaction between entities under common control resulted in a change in reporting entity and required retrospective combination of the entities for all periods presented, as if the combination had been in effect since the inception of common control. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect the accounting of the combined acquired subsidiaries at historical carrying values, except that equity reflects the equity of Eightco.

     

    Basis of Presentation.

     

    The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed financial statements included herein contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position and the results of its operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 may not be indicative of results for the full year. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes to those statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in the Annual Report.

     

    The Company is an emerging growth company as the term is used in The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, enacted on April 5, 2021 and has elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements.

    NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    (Unaudited)

     

    2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     

    Reverse Stock Split: On August 8, 2024, the Company filed an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effectuate a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of its Common Stock (the “2024 Reverse Stock Split”). All share, equity award, and per share amounts contained in the consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Splits for all prior periods presented.

     

    Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company’s significant estimates used in these condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, fair value of warrants, revenue recognition and the determination of the economic useful life of depreciable property and equipment. Certain of the Company’s estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates.

     

    Business Combinations. For business combinations that meet the accounting definition of a business, the Company determines and allocates the purchase price of an acquired company to the tangible and intangible assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interest, if applicable, as of the date of acquisition at fair value. Fair value may be estimated using comparable market data, a discounted cash flow method, or a combination of the two. In the discounted cash flow method, estimated future cash flows are based on management’s expectations for the future. Revenues and costs of the acquired companies are included in the Company’s operating results from the date of acquisition. The Company uses its best estimates and assumptions as part of the purchase price allocation process to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, and these estimates and assumptions are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement during the measurement period not to exceed one year from the acquisition date. As a result, any adjustment identified subsequent to the measurement period is included in operating results in the period in which the amount is determined.

     

    Discontinued Operations. A component of an entity that is disposed of by sale or abandonment is reported as discontinued operations if the transaction represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The results of discontinued operations are aggregated and presented separately in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations are aggregated and reported separately as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, including the comparative prior year period. Cash flows are reflected as cash flows from discontinued operations within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for each period presented.

     

    Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid, short-term investments with original maturities of six months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

     

    Accounts Receivable. Accounts receivable are carried at their contractual amounts, less an estimated allowance for credit losses. Management estimates the allowance for credit losses using a loss-rate approach based on historical loss information, adjusted for management’s expectations about current and future economic conditions, as the basis to determine expected credit losses. Management exercises significant judgment in determining expected credit losses. Key inputs include macroeconomic factors, industry trends, the creditworthiness of counterparties, historical experience, the financial conditions of the customers, and the amount and age of past due accounts. Management believes that the composition of receivables at year-end is consistent with historical conditions as credit terms and practices and the client base has not changed significantly. Receivables are considered past due if full payment is not received by the contractual due date. Past due accounts are generally written off against the allowance for credit losses only after all collection attempts have been exhausted. The allowance for credit losses was $60,000 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

     

    Inventories. Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company reduces the carrying value of inventories for those items that are potentially excess, obsolete, or slow moving based on changes in customer demand, technology developments, or other economic factors.

     

    Property and Equipment. Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization, which is recorded commencing at the in-service date using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows: 3 to 5 years for office equipment, 5 to 7 years for furniture and fixtures, 6 to 10 years for machinery and equipment, 10 to 15 years for building improvements, 5 years for software, 5 years for molds, 5 to 7 years for vehicles and 40 years for buildings. When fixed assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the statements of comprehensive loss for the respective period. Minor additions and repairs are expensed in the period incurred. Major additions and repairs which extend the useful life of existing assets are capitalized and depreciated using the straight-line method over their remaining estimated useful lives.

    2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

     

    Intangible Assets and Long-lived Assets. The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets using undiscounted cash flows. If an asset is found to be impaired, the amount recognized for impairment is equal to the difference between the carrying value and the asset’s fair value. We record intangible assets based on their fair value on the date of acquisition. Intangible assets include the cost of developed technology, customer relationships, trademarks and tradenames. Intangible assets are amortized utilizing the straight-line method over their remaining economic useful lives, as follows: 10 years for developed technology, 7 years for customer relationships and 7 years for trademarks and tradenames. The Company reviews long-lived assets and intangible assets for potential impairment annually and when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the event the expected undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value. If an asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured based on quoted market prices in active markets, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, the estimate of fair value is based on various valuation techniques, including a discounted value of estimated future cash flows. In the event that management decides to no longer allocate resources to an asset, an impairment loss equal to the remaining carrying value of the asset is recorded. The Company did not record any impairment charges related to intangibles assets or long-lived assets during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

     

    Goodwill. Goodwill is recorded for the difference between the fair value of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company performs an impairment assessment of goodwill on an annual basis as of December 31st, or whenever impairment indicators exist. In the absence of any impairment indicators, goodwill is assessed for impairment during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. Judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators are based on market conditions and operational performance of the business. The Company may assess our goodwill for impairment initially using a qualitative approach to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of these assets is greater than their carrying value. When performing a qualitative test, the Company assesses various factors including industry and market conditions, macroeconomic conditions and performance of our businesses. If the results of the qualitative assessment indicate that it is more likely than not that the goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired, a quantitative impairment analysis would be performed to determine if impairment is required. The Company may also elect to perform a quantitative analysis of goodwill initially rather than using a qualitative approach. The impairment testing for goodwill is performed at the reporting unit level. The valuation methods used in the quantitative fair value assessment, discounted cash flow and market multiples method, requires our management to make certain assumptions and estimates regarding certain industry trends and future profitability of the Company’s reporting units. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the related carrying value, the reporting unit’s goodwill is considered not to be impaired and no further testing is performed. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recorded for the difference. The valuation of goodwill is affected by, among other things, the Company’s business plan for the future and estimated results of future operations. Future events could cause the Company to conclude that impairment indicators exist, and, therefore, that goodwill may be impaired.

     

    Contingent Liabilities. The Company, from time to time, may be involved in certain legal proceedings. Based upon consultation with outside counsel handling its defense in these matters and the Company’s analysis of potential outcomes, if the Company determines that a loss arising from such matters is probable and can be reasonably estimated, an estimate of the contingent liability is recorded in its condensed consolidated financial statements. If only a range of estimated loss can be determined, an amount within the range that, based on estimates, assumptions and judgments, reflects the most likely outcome, is recorded as a contingent liability in the condensed consolidated financial statements. In situations where none of the estimates within the estimated range is a better estimate of probable loss than any other amount, the Company records the low end of the range. Any such accrual would be charged to expense in the appropriate period. Litigation expenses for these types of contingencies are recognized in the period in which the litigation services were provided.

    2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

     

    Revenue Recognition. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies performance obligations, by transferring promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for fulfilling those performance obligations. Revenue for product sales is recognized upon receipt by the customer. There are no contract assets or contract liabilities and therefore no unsatisfied performance obligations. One customer represented 86% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

     

    Disaggregation of Revenue. The Company’s primary revenue stream include the sale of consumer goods through its inventory management solutions business. The revenue stream for discontinued operations primarily include the sale of corrugated packaging materials. There are no other material operations that were separately disaggregated for segment purposes.

     

    Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues includes freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, depreciation and inspection costs.

     

    Comprehensive income. The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 220 in reporting comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized other comprehensive gain (loss) for foreign currency translation of $185,170 and $(177,477), respectively.

     

    Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation. Eightco’s functional currency is the United States Dollar (“USD”) and the Forever 8 functional currency in which it operates is the Euro (“EUR”).

     

    For the purpose of presenting these condensed consolidated financial statements the reporting currency is USD. Forever 8 assets and liabilities are expressed in USDs at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, equity accounts are translated at historical rates, and income and expense items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate during the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheets.

     

    Transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the end of the reporting periods. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items and on translation of monetary items at period-end are included in statement of comprehensive loss.

     

    Exchange rates used for the translations are as follows:

     SCHEDULE OF EXCHANGE RATE

       March 31, 2025   December 31, 2024 
    Spot

    2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

     

    Earnings Per Share. The Company follows ASC 260 when reporting Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) resulting in the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic net (loss) income per common share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number vested of common shares, plus the net impact of common shares (computed using the treasury stock method), if dilutive, resulting from the exercise of dilutive securities. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

     

    For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company had net losses and therefore excluded the dilutive effect of certain securities in its diluted EPS calculation. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company had net income and therefore included the dilutive effect of certain securities in its diluted EPS calculation as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

     

    The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used in calculating the basic and diluted net income (loss) per share:

    2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

     

    Deferred Financing Costs. Deferred financing costs include debt discounts and debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability and are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt liability. Amortization of deferred financing costs are included as a component of interest expense. Deferred financing costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the recognized debt liability which approximates the effective interest method.

     

    Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of the FASB ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes” (“ASC Topic 740”). The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of items that have been included or excluded in the condensed consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts (“temporary differences”) at enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The Company utilizes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Management has evaluated and concluded that there were no material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits within twelve months of the reporting date. The Company’s policy is to classify assessments, if any, for tax related interest as interest expense and penalties as general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The Company is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.

     

    Fair Value Measurements. The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the guidance of ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

     

    ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

     

    Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

    Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

    Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

     

    The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, such as cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company’s long-term debt consists of $21,111,218, of which $11,500,000 is current. The estimated fair value of this debt approximates the carrying value of these instruments, due to the interest rates on this debt approximating current market interest rates.

     

    Concentration of Credit Risks. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are invested in deposits with certain financial institutions and may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any significant losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents. In regard to trade receivables, the Company performs ongoing evaluations of its customers’ financial condition as well as general economic conditions and, generally, requires no collateral from its customers. On March 31, 2025, the amount due from two customers represented approximately 23% and 15% of accounts receivable, respectively.

     

    Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability under most operating leases in its balance sheet. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted ASU 2016-02 as of January 1, 2022. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the balance sheet.

    Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Adopted. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in this Update improve financial reporting by requiring disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis for all public entities to enable investors to develop more decision-useful financial analyses. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. A public entity should apply the amendments in this Update retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Upon transition, the segment expense categories and amounts disclosed in the prior periods should be based on the significant segment expense categories identified and disclosed in the period of adoption.

     

    Recent Accounting Pronouncements. Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, the Company will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

     

    Segment Reporting. The Company uses “the management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. The Company’s primary revenue streams include inventory management solutions and the sale of corrugated packaging materials. Based on the CODM’s evaluation and internal reporting, the Company has two reportable segments: Inventory Management Solutions and Corrugated Packaging.

     

    Reclassifications. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, including amounts related to the Corrugated Packaging Business, which was classified as a discontinued operations. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported net income or stockholders’ equity.

    3. GOING CONCERN

     

    The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has negative cash flows from operations, incurred a loss since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $115,118,774 as of March 31, 2025 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. These factors raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of 12 months from the filing date of this Form 10-Q.

     

    As of March 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $0.4 million in cash and cash equivalents as compared to $0.2 million at December 31, 2024. The Company expects that its current cash and cash equivalents, approximately $0.2 million as of the date of this annual report, will not be sufficient to support its projected operating requirements for at least the next 12 months from this date.

     

    The Company expects to need additional capital in order to increase revenues above current levels. Any additional equity financing, if available, may not be on favorable terms and would likely be significantly dilutive to the Company’s current stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants. The Company’s ability to access capital when needed is not assured and, if not achieved on a timely basis, will likely have a materially adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company raised capital in 2024 and will continue to look to reduce costs in 2025 and raise capital as required for its operations. These consolidated condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the Company’s inability to continue as a going concern.

     

    4. ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

     

    Effective October 1, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Forever 8.

     

    During fiscal year 2024, the Company entered into multiple amendments with the former owners of Forever 8 that significantly altered the original acquisition consideration. These changes included:

     

      ● The forgiveness of $5.4 million in principal on the Promissory Notes,
      ● The waiver of 215,000 non-voting preferred membership units initially included in the acquisition terms,
      ● The release of $6.1 million in contingent consideration, which was recognized as a gain in other income during the year ended December 31, 2024, and
      ● The forgiveness and conversion of approximately $5.7 million in accrued interest on the Promissory Notes, resulting in the issuance of approximately 1.9 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The remaining forgiven interest, totaling $3.86 million, was recorded as a capital contribution to additional paid-in capital (APIC) due to the related-party nature of the transaction.

     

    These modifications resulted in a substantial reduction in the total consideration payable under the original purchase agreement.

     

    Discontinued Operations

     

    On November 22, 2024, Eightco Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) to sell substantially all of the assets of its wholly owned subsidiary, Ferguson Containers, Inc. (the “Corrugated Packaging Business”), to Ferguson Containers, LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company controlled by certain management employees of the Corrugated Packaging Business (the “Buyers”). This sale was completed on April 7, 2025. See Subsequent events Note 23 for more details.

     

    As a result of entering into the APA, the Company has classified the operations of Ferguson Containers as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. Assets and liabilities associated with Ferguson Containers have been classified as “held for sale” as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

    22. SEGMENTING REPORTING

     

    The Company’s principal operating segments coincide with the types of products to be sold. The products from which revenues are derived are consistent with the reporting structure of the Company’s internal organization. The Company’s two reportable segments for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were the Inventory Management Solutions segment and the Corrugated Packaging Business. The Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chairman and CEO, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company.

     

    Segment information is presented based upon the Company’s management organization structure as of March 31, 2025 and the distinctive nature of each segment. Future changes to this internal financial structure may result in changes to the reportable segments disclosed. There are no inter-segment revenue transactions and, therefore, revenues are only to external customers.

     

    The CODM evaluates segment performance based on net revenues, cost of revenues, gross profit, and selling, general and administrative expenses. These items are reviewed by segment. Depreciation and amortization is also monitored by management and presented below. Certain other costs, such as interest expense, other income (expense), and income taxes, are managed on a consolidated basis and not allocated to segments.

     

    Segment operating profit is determined based upon internal performance measures used by the chief operating decision maker. The Company derives the segment results from its internal management reporting system. The accounting policies the Company uses to derive reportable segment results are the same as those used for external reporting purposes.

     

    Segment operating income excludes certain corporate costs that are not allocated to segments, including corporate-level general and administrative expenses and unallocated shared services. These items are disclosed separately as “Corporate.”

     

    Management measures the performance of each reportable segment based upon several metrics, including net revenues, gross profit and operating loss. Management uses these results to evaluate the performance of, and to assign resources to, each of the reportable segments.

     

    The Company does not allocate impairment charges, interest expense, income taxes, or other non-operating income or expenses to segments. Segment asset information is disclosed where reviewed by the CODM.

As previously announced, we concluded a spin-off from Vinco (the “Separation”) and continue operating our Web3 Business, our BTC Mining Hardware Business and our Packaging Business. The Separation occurred concurrently with the distribution (the “Distribution”) of our common stock to stockholders of Vinco as of May 18, 2022 (the “Record Date”) at a ratio of one share of our common stock for every ten shares of Vinco common stock held by the Vinco stockholders. Following the Separation, we are an independent, publicly traded company, and Vinco retains no ownership interest in our Company.

     

    In connection with the Separation, we entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement and other agreements with Vinco to effect the Separation and provide a framework for our relationship with Vinco after the Separation. These agreements provide for the allocation between us and our subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Vinco and its subsidiaries, on the other hand, of the assets, liabilities, legal entities, and obligations associated with the Eightco Businesses, on the one hand, and Vinco’s other current businesses, on the other hand, and govern the relationship between our Company and our subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Vinco and its subsidiaries, on the other hand, following the Separation. In addition to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the other principal agreements entered into with Vinco include a Tax Matters Agreement and certain commercial agreements.

Mr. Vroman will be entitled to a base salary payable at the annualized rate of $292,000 per year (the “Vroman Base Salary”), which reflects an increase from the $250,000 provided to Mr. Vroman under the March Vroman Agreement.

Mr. Vroman shall be eligible to receive a bonus of a maximum aggregate of 1,600,000 shares in the event that certain market capitalization milestones are met based on a review of the Company’s audited financial statements and subject to approval by the Board. This reflects an increase above the maximum aggregate of 1,575,000 shares provided for in connection with meeting market capitalization milestones under the March Vroman Agreement. Subsequent to receiving the maximum aggregate 1,600,000 shares provided for under the first three market capitalization milestones, Mr. Vroman will be eligible to receive additional bonuses of 135,000 shares for each doubling in market capitalization of the Company over the market capitalization recorded at the prior bonus threshold, provided such increase is sustained for a period of at least three consecutive trading days. Though specific milestone thresholds and timing requirements vary, the March Vroman Agreement contained a substantially similar provision with respect to a continuing market capitalization bonus. Mr. Vroman may also be eligible for additional compensation in the sole and complete discretion of the Board.

     

    Mr. Vroman will be eligible to participate in all health, medical, dental and life insurance policies offered to employees of the Company, and the Company will pay all applicable premiums.

    Revenue

     

    For the three months ended March 31, 2025, revenues increased by $1,955,290 or 24.57%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was attributable to the increased sale of goods from revenue derived from the inventory management solutions business due to the Company’s additional access to capital versus the reduction in capital in 2024 due to the repayment of its outstanding convertible notes payable.

     

    Cost of Revenues

     

    For the three months ended March 31, 2025, cost of revenues increased by $2,531,041 or 38.53%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was largely attributable to the increase in total revenues for our inventory management solutions business as well as the mix of products sold being lower margin.

     

    Gross Profit

     

    For the three months ended March 31, 2025, gross profit decreased by $575,751 or 41.45%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was largely attributable to lower margin product sales in the inventory management solutions business.

     

    Operating Expenses

     

    Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2,229,425 and $3,127,943 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, representing a decrease of $898,518, or 28.73%. The decrease was largely attributable to the decrease in professional fees, payroll costs, insurance expense, and rent expense.

     

    Restructuring and severance were $0 and $1,414,838 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, representing a decrease of $1,414,838, or 100.00%. The decrease was largely attributable to the completion of the restructuring plan.

     

    Interest Expense

     

    Interest expense was $1,288,803, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, versus $1,198,771 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in interest expense was largely attributable to the additional borrowings under the lines of credit.

     

    Gain on forgiveness of earnout

     

    Gain on forgiveness of earnout was $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 versus $6,100,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The full amount of the earnout rights were forgiven in 2024.

     

    Income tax expense

     

    Income tax (benefit) expense was $(28,793) and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The benefit relates to foreign income tax credits earned.

     

    Net income (loss)

     

    Net income (loss) was $(2,654,279) for the three months ended March 31, 2025, versus $1,774,135 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in net income was largely attributable the Company’s prior recognition of the gain on forgiveness of earnout.

    Discontinued Operations

     

    On November 22, 2024, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to sell substantially all of the assets of Ferguson Containers, Inc., the Company’s Corrugated Packaging Business. As a result of this agreement, Ferguson Containers has been classified as a discontinued operation for all periods presented in the consolidated financial statements.

     

    Revenue and operating results from Ferguson Containers are excluded from continuing operations and presented as a single line item in the consolidated statements of operations. Ferguson Containers generated revenues of $6.8 million and $7.7 million and operating income of $0.4 million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

     

    The Company closed on the transaction on April 7, 2025.

     

    The following table sets forth information comparing the components of net (loss) income from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

    Revenue

     

    For the three months ended March 31, 2025, revenues totaled $1,773,929, an increase of $112,806, or 6.79%, compared to $1,661,123 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher order volume from customers.

     

    Cost of Revenues

     

    Cost of revenues was $1,276,685 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $1,164,371 for the same period in 2024, representing an increase of $112,314, or 9.65%. The increase was primarily driven by a shift in product mix toward lower-margin corrugated materials.

     

    Gross Profit

     

    Gross profit was relatively flat at $497,244 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $496,752 in the prior-year period, reflecting a nominal increase of $492, or 0.10%. The stability in gross profit reflects the offsetting impact of higher revenues and increased cost of revenues tied to lower-margin product sales.

     

    Operating Expenses

     

    Selling, general and administrative expenses were $393,013 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $334,016 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing an increase of $58,997, or 17.66%. The increase was primarily due to higher payroll-related costs and a $23,013 bad debt charge recorded during the current period. There were no restructuring or severance expenses in either period.

     

    Net income

     

    Net income was $105,553 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $166,828 for the same period in 2024, a decrease of $61,275, or 36.73%. The decline was primarily driven by increased operating expenses.

     

    Liquidity and Capital Resources

     

    As reflected in the accompany financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company had net loss of $2.5 million and as of March 31, 2025, had stockholders’ equity of $9.3 million and approximately $0.4 million in cash and cash equivalents as compared to $0.2 million at December 31, 2024. The Company expects that its current cash and cash equivalents are not sufficient to support its projected operating requirements for at least the next 12 months from this date. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the financial statements are issued.

     

    37
     

     

    The Company expects to need additional capital in order to maintain revenues at current levels. Any additional equity financing, if available, may not be on favorable terms and would likely be significantly dilutive to the Company’s current stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants. The Company’s ability to access capital when needed is not assured and, if not achieved on a timely basis, will likely have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

     

    Cash Flows

     

    Since inception, Eightco and its subsidiaries have primarily used its available cash to fund its operations. The following table sets forth a summary of cash flows for the periods presented:

        2024     2023  
    Cash (used in) provided by:

    Cash Flows for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024

     

    Operating Activities

     

    Net cash provided by operating activities was 999,824 during the three months ended March 31, 2025, which consisted primarily of a net loss of $2,548,725, offset by depreciation and amortization of $612,664, amortization of debt issuance costs of $250,000 and changes in assets and liabilities of $2,685,885.

     

    Net cash used in operating activities was $723,376 during the three months ended March 31, 2025, which consisted primarily of net income of $4,947,859, depreciation and amortization of $605,796, amortization of debt issuance costs of $587,750 and changes in assets and liabilities of ($798,719) offset largely by a gain on forgiveness of earnout of $6,100,000.

     

    Investing Activities

     

    Net cash provided by investing activities was $44,647 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in net cash provided by investing activities is largely attributable to purchases of long-lived assets.

     

    Financing Activities

     

    Net cash used in financing activities was $759,937 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $($3,715,767) for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This decrease was largely attributable to less repayments of debt instruments most notably the convertible notes payable in the amount of $4,915,000 paid in 2024.

     

    The Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2025.

     

    Known Trends, Events, Uncertainties and Factors That May Affect Future Operations

     

    The impact of general economic conditions, actual and projected, including inflation, rising interest rates, lower consumer confidence, volatile capital markets, supply chain disruptions, uncertainty and volatility in the financial services sector and the impact of the Hamas-Israel and Russia-Ukraine conflicts, and government and business responses thereto, on the global economy and regional economies.

     

    Contractual Obligations and Commitments

     

    The Company has no debt covenants that require certain financial information to be met.

     

    Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

     

    This discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations is based on the Company’s combined financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

    For information on the Company’s significant accounting policies please refer to Note 2 to the Company’s Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report.

     

    ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     

    Not applicable.

     

    ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

     

    Disclosure Controls and Procedures

     

    The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period covered by this Quarterly Report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information that it is required to disclose in reports that the Company files with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Exchange Act rules and regulations due to the reasons set forth below.

     

    As of December 31, 2024, management identified the following material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting: the Company was unable to provide a timely financial reporting package in connection with the year end audit. This was primarily the result of the Company’s limited accounting personnel. This also limits the extent to which the Company can segregate incompatible duties and has a lack of controls in place to ensure that all material transactions and developments impacting the financial statements are reflected. There is a risk under the current circumstances that intentional or unintentional errors could occur and not be detected.

     

    Management has concluded that the material weakness described above currently exists as of March 31, 2025. The Company plans to engage with outside consultants to strengthen its capabilities and help the Company in the design and assessment of its internal controls over financial reporting to further reduce and remediate existing control deficiencies during 2025.

     

    Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

     

    During the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2025.

     

    39
     

     

    PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

     

    ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     

    From time to time, the Company is party to legal actions that are routine and incidental to its business. However, based upon available information and in consultation with legal counsel, management does not expect the ultimate disposition of any or a combination of these actions to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s assets, business, cash flow, condition (financial or otherwise), liquidity, prospects and\or results of operations.

     

    ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

     

    Our business and common stock are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. The discussion of such risks and uncertainties may be found under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 15, 2025. There have been no material changes to these risks during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

     

    ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES, USE OF PROCEEDS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
