Sow Good Reports Third Quarter 2025 Results

DALLAS, Nov. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sow Good Inc. (Nasdaq: SOWG) (“Sow Good” or “the Company”), a leading freeze-dried food and candy manufacturer, is reporting financial and operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

“Q3 2025 was a quarter of steady progress and operational strengthening as we continued to position Sow Good for long-term sustainable growth,” said Claudia Goldfarb, CEO of Sow Good. “The decisive actions we’ve taken over the past several months have simplified our footprint, reduced fixed costs, and enhanced efficiency across the organization. We’ve now completely vacated our Mockingbird facility, reducing our footprint by over 50,000 square feet and delivering immediate savings, and we will fully vacate our Rock Quarry facility by the end of January, reducing our footprint by more than 320,000 square feet. Together with lease amendments and payroll optimization, these efforts represent over $5 million in annualized savings and a leaner, more agile platform ready to scale efficiently.

“We secured our first private-label partnership with a 600-store national retailer for our new Caramel Crunch SKU, which will ship in the first half of 2026. Caramel Crunch is our first fully vertically integrated product—with caramel made in house with no artificial dyes, flavors, or preservatives and crafted using our proprietary long-cycle freeze-drying process. This cleaner-ingredient approach not only enhances product appeal but also opens the door to additional retail opportunities as buyers increasingly prioritize clean-label alternatives. In March of 2026 we are launching 2 new SKUs with a national retailer in our branded display that will also have 10 other of our top SKUs. Our international distribution partners remain excited with our performance and are substantially expanding influencer marketing and retailer marketing partnerships for 2026 to continue supporting the Sow Good brand.

“We are also in ongoing conversations with other national retailers regarding additional private-label opportunities, including potential extensions into freeze-dried yogurt melts and other innovative formats. While still early, these discussions underscore the trust major retailers have in our manufacturing capabilities and the breadth of our technology platform. At the same time, we’ve seen a slowdown in traditional legacy SKUs, while growth and retailer demand are shifting toward our new clean-label, innovative products that highlight our differentiation in texture, flavor, and quality.

“Looking ahead, we remain focused on operational discipline and a return to profitability. The foundational work we’ve completed this year has made Sow Good leaner, more efficient, and better positioned for sustainable growth. In parallel, we are advancing a number of strategic initiatives – including digital asset and partnership strategies – designed to strengthen our balance sheet, diversify our funding base, and enhance long-term shareholder value. These discussions are progressing constructively and reflect our commitment to innovative and responsible capital management.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains “non-GAAP financial measures” that are financial measures that either exclude or include amounts that are not excluded or included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Specifically, we make use of the non-GAAP financial measure “Adjusted EBITDA.” Adjusted EBITDA has been presented in this press release as a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, provision for income tax, and share-based compensation, and loss on early extinguishment of debt. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net income (loss). Adjusted EBITDA is not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as a measure of financial performance or cash provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition, in evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future, we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA. The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and can differ significantly from company to company.

We present this non-GAAP measure because we believe it assists investors and analysts in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in highlighting trends in our operating performance, while other measures can differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which we operate, and capital investments. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to supplement GAAP measures of performance in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, to establish discretionary annual incentive compensation, and to compare our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures. Management supplements GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone provide.

There are a number of limitations related to the use of Adjusted EBITDA rather than net income (loss), which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

In addition, other companies may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison.
