Arcadia Biosciences (RKDA) announced its Q3 2024 financial results, reporting a notable 18% increase in total revenues compared to Q3 2023. The company highlighted a significant 55% growth in Zola coconut water revenues and a 68% expansion in Zola's retail distribution year over year. Operating expenses for Q3 2024 rose by $602,000, driven by higher revenues and employee severance costs. However, for the first nine months of 2024, operating expenses decreased by $3.4 million due to a $4.0 million gain from an asset sale to Corteva. Net loss attributable to common stockholders improved to $1.6 million for Q3 2024 from $2.6 million in Q3 2023, and for the first nine months of 2024, it decreased to $3.0 million from $11.1 million in the same period in 2023. The company attributes this improvement to decreased net loss from discontinued operations and the gain from the asset sale.

Arcadia Biosciences (RKDA) ha annunciato i risultati finanziari per il terzo trimestre del 2024, registrando un notevole aumento del 18% nelle entrate totali rispetto al terzo trimestre del 2023. L'azienda ha messo in evidenza una significativa crescita del 55% nei ricavi dell'acqua di cocco Zola e un espansione del 68% nella distribuzione al dettaglio di Zola anno su anno. Le spese operative per il terzo trimestre del 2024 sono aumentate di $602.000, a causa di maggiori entrate e costi di indennità per i dipendenti. Tuttavia, nei primi nove mesi del 2024, le spese operative sono diminuite di $3,4 milioni grazie a un guadagno di $4,0 milioni derivante dalla vendita di un'attività a Corteva. La perdita netta attribuibile agli azionisti comuni è migliorata a $1,6 milioni per il terzo trimestre del 2024 da $2,6 milioni nel terzo trimestre del 2023, e per i primi nove mesi del 2024 è scesa a $3,0 milioni rispetto a $11,1 milioni nello stesso periodo del 2023. L'azienda attribuisce questo miglioramento alla diminuzione della perdita netta da operazioni cessate e al guadagno dalla vendita dell'attività.

Quartal 2024 stiegen um 602.000 $, bedingt durch höhere Erlöse und Mitarbeiterentschädigungskosten.

Der den Stammaktionären zurechenbare Nettoverlust verbesserte sich im 3. Quartal 2024 auf 1,6 Millionen $ von 2,6 Millionen $ im 3. Quartal 2023, und in den ersten neun Monaten des Jahres 2024 sank er auf 3,0 Millionen $ von 11,1 Millionen $ im selben Zeitraum 2023.
