Barfresh Food Group (NASDAQ: BRFH) reported record annual revenue of $10.7 million for fiscal year 2024, with a gross margin of 34% and adjusted gross margin of 37%. The company launched Pop & Go™ 100% Juice Freeze Pops in Q4 2024, contributing to initial revenue generation.

Q4 2024 revenue was $2.8 million, up from $1.9 million in Q4 2023, though gross margin decreased to 26% from 33% due to temporary production inefficiencies. The company reported a Q4 net loss of $852,000.

In February 2025, Barfresh secured $3 million in growth financing through a common stock offering to scale production capacity. The company projects fiscal year 2025 revenue between $14.5-$16.6 million, with supply chain constraints expected to resolve by end of Q2 2025 when bottle co-manufacturing partners complete equipment installations.

Nel febbraio 2025, Barfresh ha ottenuto $3 milioni in finanziamenti per la crescita tramite un'offerta di azioni ordinarie per aumentare la capacità di produzione. L'azienda prevede un fatturato per l'anno fiscale 2025 compreso tra $14,5-$16,6 milioni, con vincoli nella catena di approvvigionamento che ci si aspetta saranno risolti entro la fine del Q2 2025, quando i partner di co-manifattura delle bottiglie completeranno le installazioni delle attrezzature.

Insights

Barfresh's record $10.7 million revenue for FY2024 represents impressive 32% year-over-year growth, with Q4 showing even stronger momentum at $2.8 million (47% YoY increase). However, this top-line growth hasn't translated to profitability improvement, with net losses holding steady at $2.8 million for the full year and actually worsening in Q4 to $852,000 from $701,000 in the prior year period.

The company's gross margin deteriorated significantly in Q4 to 26% from 33% a year earlier, though full-year adjusted gross margin improved slightly to 37%. Management attributes the Q4 margin compression to temporary manufacturing inefficiencies that should resolve by Q2 2025, but this remains an execution risk.

The $3 million capital raise strengthens Barfresh's previously concerning liquidity position ($1.1 million in cash and receivables), providing runway to complete their manufacturing expansion. Their revenue guidance of $14.5-16.6 million for FY2025 represents ambitious 35-55% growth that depends on successfully resolving production constraints.

With a market cap of $55 million, Barfresh trades at about 5.1x trailing sales and 3.3-3.8x forward sales - reasonable multiples for a growth-stage food company, provided they can continue scaling while improving their $1.3 million adjusted EBITDA loss position.

Barfresh's Q4 results reveal significant operational growing pains as they scale production to meet increasing demand. The temporary dual-location manufacturing process has created inefficiencies and elevated logistics costs that directly impacted margins. This approach, while suboptimal, is a common transitional strategy when onboarding new production partners.

The company's timeline for completing equipment installation at co-manufacturing partners by the end of Q2 2025 provides a clear milestone for resolving these constraints. This specialized equipment will be critical for improving both production capacity and efficiency, particularly for their bottled products which appear to be driving much of their growth.

The $1.5 million inventory position indicates appropriate supply chain planning for their education market business, which typically experiences seasonal demand patterns. However, the ongoing supplier dispute regarding product quality issues highlights the risks inherent in outsourced production models and reinforces the importance of their strategy to diversify manufacturing partners.

The launch of Pop & Go™ 100% Juice Freeze Pops with revenue contribution in Q4 demonstrates product line expansion capabilities despite operational challenges. The successful implementation of expanded bottling capacity will be the critical factor determining whether Barfresh can achieve both their ambitious revenue targets and the margin improvements needed for profitability in the second half of 2025.

Company Raises $3 Million in Profitable Growth Financing; Financing to Accelerate Manufacturing and Market Expansion

Company Expects Record Revenue for Fiscal Year 2025 of $14.5 Million to $16.6 Million

LOS ANGELES, March 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Barfresh Food Group Inc. (the “Company” or “Barfresh”) (Nasdaq: BRFH), a provider of frozen, ready-to-blend and ready-to-drink beverages, is providing a business update for the full year ended December 31, 2024.

Management Comments

Riccardo Delle Coste, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our team delivered record annual revenue of $10.7 million in 2024, and we began generating initial revenue from Pop & Go™ 100% Juice Freeze Pops in the fourth quarter. We've secured an impressive string of new customer wins in the education channel as our product portfolio continues to resonate strongly with both school administrators and students alike. While fourth quarter results were impacted by costs associated with onboarding new co-manufacturers, temporary production inefficiencies and increased logistics costs as we maximized output to meet growing demand, we expect these headwinds to resolve by the end of the second quarter when our bottle co-manufacturing partners complete their equipment installations and we are positioned to meaningfully increase our bottling production.”

“Looking ahead to 2025, with our recently strengthened balance sheet following our successful capital raise, we are well-positioned to leverage our enhanced production capacity and innovative product portfolio to capture significant opportunities in both the education and broader foodservice markets and improve cash flow and overall margins. Based on our strong pipeline and continued market momentum, we expect 2025 to deliver another record year with revenue projected to reach between $14.5 million and $16.6 million, depending on the outcome of end-user opportunities at later stages in our sales pipeline. With our strengthened manufacturing infrastructure and proven ability to scale, I am more confident than ever in our ability to deliver long-term value for our shareholders.”

Fourth Quarter of 2024 Financial Results

Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $2.8 million, compared to $1.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase in revenue is primarily due to expanded bottle production capacity compared to the prior year enabling higher sales volumes, complemented by improvements in smoothie carton and bulk sales. Gross Margin for the fourth quarter of 2024 was 26%, compared to 33% for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023. Adjusted Gross Margin for the fourth quarter of 2024 was 30%, compared to 33% in the prior year period. The decrease in gross margin was due to temporary production inefficiencies and increased logistics costs required to onboard new co-manufacturers to meet higher demand. This constraint will be resolved when specialized equipment is delivered and installed at the Company’s co-manufacturing partners by the end of the second quarter of 2025. A reconciliation of Gross Profit to Adjusted Gross Profit is provided below.

Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $852,000, as compared to a loss of $701,000 in the fourth quarter of 2023. Selling, marketing and distribution for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $872,000 or 31% of revenue, compared to $624,000 or 32% of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023. G&A expenses for the fourth quarter of 2024 were $620,000, compared to $624,000 in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of approximately $561,000 for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to a loss of approximately $427,000 for the fourth quarter of 2023. A reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA is provided below.

Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Results

Revenue for the full year of 2024 was $10.7 million, compared to $8.1 million in the same period of 2023. The increase in revenue is primarily due to expanded bottle production capacity enabling higher sales volumes, complemented by improvements in smoothie carton and bulk sales. Gross Margin for the full year of 2024 was 34%, compared to 35% for 2023. Adjusted Gross Margin for the full year of 2024 was 37%, compared to 35% for 2023. A reconciliation of Gross Profit to Adjusted Gross Profit is provided below. The improvement in Adjusted Gross Margin was a result of favorable product mix, pricing actions, and a slight improvement in the cost of supply chain components, partially offset by the temporary production inefficiencies and increased logistics costs experienced in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Net loss was $2.8 million for each of the full years of 2024 and 2023. Selling, marketing and distribution for the full year of 2024 was $3.1 million or 29% of revenue, compared to $2.6 million or 32% of revenue in the same period of 2023. The dollar increase is a result of increased sales and marketing personnel costs, broker commissions and outbound freight as a result of increased shipments. G&A expenses for the full year of 2024 increased to $3.0 million, compared to $2.7 million in the same period of 2023. The increase in G&A was driven by an increase to management headcount, an increase in stock-based compensation resulting from the increase in headcount and the extension of options previously issued to our board of directors, and the non-recurrence of recognizing Employee Retention Tax Credit benefits in 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2024 improved to a loss of $1.3 million, compared to a loss of $1.7 million for the same period of 2023. A reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA is provided below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The above information is presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In order to aid in the understanding of the Company’s business performance, the Company has also presented below certain non-GAAP measures, including Adjusted Gross Profit, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are reconciled in the table below to comparable GAAP measures, and certain calculations based on its results including Gross Margin and Adjusted Gross Margin. Management believes that Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to the investor because it is directly reflective of the performance of the Company. The exclusion of certain items including manufacturing relocation costs in calculating Adjusted Gross Profit and stock compensation and other non-recurring costs such as those associated with the product withdrawal, the related dispute, and certain manufacturing relocation costs in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s core business performance. Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized measurements under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to Gross Profit, loss from operations, net loss or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP.

Balance Sheet

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $1.1 million of cash and accounts receivable, and approximately $1.5 million of inventory on its balance sheet. In the first half of the year, the Company deployed a significant amount of cash to build up inventory in preparation for its seasonally high third quarter. The inventory build allowed the Company to achieve highest fiscal year revenue in Company history for fiscal year 2024. The Company brought on expanded capacity in the fourth quarter of 2024. Additionally, the Company has taken other measures to reduce its liquidity requirements, including compensating its directors and employees with equity to reduce cash compensation requirements, obtaining non-recourse litigation financing, and securing receivables financing.

In February 2025, the Company secured $3.0 million in growth financing through a common stock offering. The capital raise enhances the Company's financial position and supports scaling of production capacity to meet growing customer demand, particularly in the education market.

Commentary and Outlook for 2025

For Q1, the Company expects revenue and margins to be consistent with Q4 levels as it continues to manage its supply chain through a transitional period. This temporary constraint will resolve when its bottle co-manufacturing partners complete their equipment installation at the end of Q2, eliminating the current dual-location manufacturing and packing process that is temporarily increasing the Company’s supply chain costs and positioning the company for very strong back half of the year revenue growth.

The Company expects to achieve record fiscal year revenue of between $14.5 and $16.6 million for fiscal year 2025.

Supplier Dispute

During the third quarter of 2022, Barfresh received customer complaints related to the textural consistency of some of the Company’s Twist & Go™ bottle product, which was isolated to one manufacturer. The product was found to be safe for consumption but did not meet the textural standards as outlined in the supply agreement with the manufacturer. In response, Barfresh withdrew product from the market and destroyed on-hand inventory. Barfresh attempted to resolve the issues by informal negotiation, as contractually required prior to filing suit; however, such negotiations were unsuccessful. Barfresh filed a complaint on November 10, 2022, in the Federal District Court in Los Angeles against the manufacturer. In response, the manufacturer terminated the supply agreement. On January 20, 2023, Barfresh filed a voluntary dismissal of the complaint which allows the parties to reach a potential resolution outside of the court system. However, as the parties were once again unable to come to an agreement, Barfresh re-filed the complaint in California State Court in August 2023 and the case continues to progress through the court system. Due to the uncertainties surrounding the claim, Barfresh is not able to predict either the outcome or a range of reasonably possible recoveries that could result from its actions against the manufacturer, and no gain contingencies have been recorded. The total impact of the product withdrawal and loss of a manufacturer of Twist & Go™ bottle product may be subject to change.
