Once Upon a Farm Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial Results BERKELEY, Calif.--( BUSINESS WIRE)--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 fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.

Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights Compared to Prior Year Period

Full Year 2025 Financial Highlights Compared to Prior Year

"We are proud of our strong performance in the fourth quarter, our first report-out as a newly public company," said John Foraker, CEO and co-founder of Once Upon a Farm. "Our 30% net sales growth, driven by broadened distribution, significant increases in household penetration, and top-tier velocity in the categories where we compete demonstrates the powerful underlying momentum around the brand and the trust consumers place in our mission-driven approach.”

"Our successful Initial Public Offering was a major milestone and strong validation of our mission and the successful business we’ve created over many years. This important moment serves as a launching pad to accelerate growth initiatives and expand our impact in transforming childhood nutrition. Parents today are more committed than ever to providing their children with the highest quality, organic nutrition, and Once Upon a Farm is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this demand to drive sustained growth in 2026 and beyond.”

Fourth Quarter 2025 Results

Net sales increased $14.8 million, or 30.1%, to $64.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $49.2 million in the prior year period. The increase in net sales was driven by relatively balanced volume and price/mix growth reflecting incremental distribution and a higher average selling price per unit.

Gross profit was $30.6 million, or 47.7% of net sales, for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $23.0 million, or 46.7% of net sales, in the prior year period. The 105 basis point increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales was driven by lower trade spend and higher average selling prices.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $26.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $21.6 million for the prior year period. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased by 318 basis points to 40.7% in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to 43.9% for the prior year period, primarily due to lower marketing, logistics, and G&A expenses as a percentage of net sales, partially offset by higher selling expenses.

Net income was $22.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to a net loss of $12.3 million in the prior year period. The increase in net income was primarily driven by the non-cash change in fair value of a derivative liability combined with higher gross profit, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA was $6.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $2.2 million in the prior year period. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by the increase in gross profit partially offset by higher SG&A expenses.

Full Year 2025 Results

Net sales increased $83.9 million, or 53.5%, to $240.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $156.8 million in the prior year. The increase in net sales was primarily due to a 42% increase in volume growth, driven by both incremental distribution of existing products and the introduction of new products into our portfolio. The increase in net sales was also driven by a more favorable product mix primarily due to the introduction of newer products that are sold at a higher average selling price per unit.

Gross profit was $101.9 million, or 42.3% of net sales, for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $68.3 million, or 43.6% of net sales, in the prior year. The 125 basis point decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by increased trade spend. The increased trade spending was primarily driven by slotting fees related to expansion into new stores, placement of new coolers in retail customer stores, and dairy category resets in 2025.

SG&A was $107.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $74.7 million for the prior year. SG&A as a percentage of net sales decreased by 291 basis points to 44.7% in the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 47.6% for the prior year, primarily due to lower labor, logistics, marketing and G&A expense as a percentage of net sales.

Net loss was $17.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to a net loss of $23.8 million in the prior year. The decrease in net loss was primarily driven by higher gross profit and the change in fair value of a derivative liability, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses, one-time costs associated with the Company’s IPO and higher net interest expense.

Adjusted EBITDA 1 was $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to a loss of $3.7 million in the prior year. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by higher gross profit partially offset by higher SG&A expenses.

Balance Sheet

As of December 31, 2025, prior to the completion of its initial public offering, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $10.9 million and total debt of $60.2 million, compared to $17.3 million and $24.7 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2024. The decrease in net cash reflected increased investments in working capital and capital expenditures to support the Company’s growth, partially offset by additional borrowings.

Initial Public Offering

In February, the Company completed its initial public offering and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol OFRM. Once Upon a Farm sold 7.6 million newly issued primary shares of common stock at a price of $18 per share, plus an additional 1.6 million shares of common stock at the same offering price pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares. In addition, certain stockholders of the Company sold 3.4 million shares of common stock at the same offering price. Total net proceeds to the Company were approximately $139.3 million, net of underwriter’s discounts, commissions, and other offering expenses. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the IPO to repay outstanding borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility and expects to use the remainder for general corporate purposes, including working capital and operating expenses. Subsequent to the IPO, there were approximately 41.9 million shares of common stock outstanding.

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.

2026 Outlook

For full year 2026, the Company expects:

Outlook is based on information as of today, March 12, 2026, and may be impacted by factors outside the Company’s control. See “Forward Looking Statements.”

See definition of Adjusted EBITDA under “Non-GAAP Measures.” 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.

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 payments under the Spokesperson Agreement; (6) interest expense; (7) interest income; and (8) 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.
