“Revenue for the first quarter came in slightly higher than our previously issued guidance, totaling $2.81 million, an increase of 121% year-over-year.

Similarly, we have several growth levers in our consumer branded products with new product launches throughout the remainder of this year, heading into 2026. We remain confident in our previously issued guidance for 2025 of $13 million in revenue and to achieve positive EBITDA during the year.”
First Quarter 2025 Financial Results
For the first quarter of 2025, revenue totaled $2.81 million, an increase of 121%, as compared to $1.27 million for the first quarter of 2024. The increase in overall revenues was primarily due to sales growth in both contract manufacturing and branded products.
Cost of revenues totaled $1.62 million for the first quarter of 2025, as compared to $1.11 million for the first quarter of 2024. The increase in cost of revenues is primarily aligned with the increase in revenue growth.
Gross profit totaled $1.19 million for the first quarter of 2025, as compared to a gross profit of $0.16 million for the first quarter of 2024. Gross profit margin for the first quarter 2025 was 42.4%, as compared to 12.6% for the first quarter 2024. The increase of $1.03 in gross profit quarter over quarter was primarily due to the increase in consumer branded products.
Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $1.96 for the first quarter of 2025, as compared to $1.03 for the first quarter of 2024. The increase quarter over quarter was attributable to increases in compensation and benefits, share-based compensation, advertising, marketing and Amazon fees, Professional and consulting fees, other fees, and investor and shareholder services, which was offset by a decrease in franchise taxes and corporate insurance.
EBITDA1, a non-GAAP financial measure, totaled ($0.54) million for the first quarter of 2025 as compared to ($0.84) million for the first quarter of 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA1, a non-GAAP financial measure, totaled ($0.47) million for the first quarter 2025 as compared to ($0.73) million for the first quarter 2024.
