BERKELEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 06, 2026-- 

Once Upon a Farm, PBC (NYSE: OFRM) (or the "Company"), a leading high-growth company driving systemic improvement in childhood nutrition, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

   --  Gross margin of 35.9% compared to 40.7% 
 
   --  Net loss of $5.0 million compared to a net loss of $9.0 million 
 
   --  Adjusted EBITDA1 loss of $1.7 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of 
      $2.0 million 

"We delivered another quarter of high-quality, volume-led growth, with net sales increasing 42% year over year," said John Foraker, CEO and co-founder of Once Upon a Farm. "Distribution continues to expand, velocities remain strong across our portfolio, and cooler productivity is increasing as awareness grows, assortments broaden and newer cooler cohorts mature. Our innovation is proving highly incremental to both Once Upon a Farm and the categories in which we compete, bringing new consumers into the brand and increasing engagement among existing households. These results are reflected in strong consumption trends and continued gains in household penetration, repeat and buy rate. Based on our second quarter performance, underlying consumer trends and confidence in our ability to execute, we are raising our full-year outlook for both net sales and Adjusted EBITDA. We believe this combination of expanding household reach, strengthening consumer loyalty and increasing productivity positions Once Upon a Farm to deliver durable growth and meaningful long-term profitability."

Second Quarter 2026 Results

Net sales increased $25.4 million, or 42.3%, to $85.4 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $60.0 million in the prior year period. The increase in net sales was driven by a 40.3% increase in volume growth reflecting incremental distribution of existing products and new product introductions.

Gross profit was $30.6 million, or 35.9% of net sales, for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $24.5 million, or 40.7% of net sales, in the prior year period. The 485 basis point decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net sales was driven by trade spend, including a national program in the club channel, and mix, partially offset by pricing and lower slotting fees related to coolers.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $36.3 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $24.4 million for the prior year period. Approximately $3.5 million in SG&A expense was attributable to stock-based compensation, as well as performance payments related to our IPO. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales increased by 179 basis points to 42.5% in the second quarter of 2026 compared to 40.7% in the prior year period, reflecting stock-based compensation, as well as performance payments related to our IPO along with higher marketing, labor and employee costs as a percentage of net sales, partially offset by lower logistics costs.

Net loss was $5.0 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to a net loss of $9.0 million in the prior year period. The decrease in net loss was primarily driven by the elimination of the non-cash change in fair value of a derivative liability compared to the prior year period, higher gross profit and higher interest income, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA(1) loss was $1.7 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $2.0 million in the prior year period. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by the higher SG&A expenses.

Balance Sheet

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $93.5 million and no debt, compared to $10.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and total debt of $60.2 million as of December 31, 2025. The increase in net cash and decrease in total debt reflect the application of proceeds from the Company's IPO in February 2026.

Full Year 2026 Outlook

For full year 2026, the Company expects:

   --  Net sales of $327 million to $335 million, representing growth of 36% 
      to 39% versus 2025 
 
   --  Adjusted EBITDA of $3 million to $4.5 million 

Outlook is based on information as of today, August 6, 2026, and may be impacted by factors outside the Company's control. See "Forward-Looking Statements" below.

The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation for forward-looking outlook of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most closely comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable effort, because certain material reconciling items, such as depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income, and provision for income tax, cannot be estimated due to factors outside of the Company's control and could have a material impact on the reported results.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. See "Non-GAAP Measures" for how the Company defines this measure and the financial tables that accompany this press release for a reconciliation of this measure to the most closely comparable GAAP measure.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA

The Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA as net loss, adjusted to exclude: (1) change in fair value of derivative liability; (2) change in fair value of convertible preferred stock warrant liability; (3) stock-based compensation; (4) depreciation and amortization; (5) amortization of certain payments under the Spokesperson Agreement for services received in connection with our IPO; (6) one-time bonuses related to our IPO; (7) interest expense; (8) interest income; and (9) provision for income taxes. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides meaningful supplemental information regarding its operating performance and facilitates internal comparisons of its historical operating performance on a more consistent basis by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of its business, results of operations, or outlook. In particular, the Company believes that the use of Adjusted EBITDA is helpful to the Company's investors as it is a measure used by management in assessing the health of its business, determining incentive compensation, and evaluating its operating performance, as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes.
