Arcadia Biosciences (RKDA) Announces Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2024 Financial Results and Business Highlights

-- Year-over-year revenues grew 56% in Q4 and 13% for full year --

-- Zola® year-over-year revenues increased 124% in Q4 and 46% for full year --

-- Company plans business combination with Roosevelt Resources, Inc. --

DALLAS, Texas (March 20, 2025) – Arcadia Biosciences, Inc.® (Nasdaq: RKDA), a producer and marketer of innovative, plant-based health and wellness products, today released its financial and business results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2024.

“We are extremely pleased with the progress we made in 2024, particularly in the second half of the year following the sale of our GoodWheatTM assets,” said T.J. Schaefer, president and CEO. “Our focus on Zola® coconut water led to 80 percent revenue growth for the brand in the back half of the year and drove total Arcadia revenue growth above 30 percent. At the same time revenue growth was accelerating, we maintained tight cost controls, resulting in the lowest use of cash from operations since Arcadia went public a decade ago.

“In the fourth quarter, we also announced a business combination agreement with Roosevelt Resources, Inc. which, when completed, will combine the two companies in an all-stock transaction. The significant amount of new distribution added to Zola in the last six months of 2024 provides a tremendous amount of momentum for Arcadia as we enter 2025,” Schaefer said.

Financial Snapshot

(Unaudited)

($ in thousands)

Certain previously reported financial information has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Reclassifications are related to the presentation of the financial results of our former GoodWheat and body care brands as discontinued operations. The financial information above and narrative that follows relate to continuing operations unless stated otherwise.

More detailed financial statements are included in the Form 8-K filed today, available in the Investors section of the company’s website under SEC Filings.

Revenues

Retail distribution for Zola nearly doubled in 2024, resulting in an increase in coconut water revenue of $611,000 and $1.3 million for the fourth quarter and full year of 2024, respectively. This was partially offset by a decline in sales of GLA oil, resulting in a net increase in total revenue of $439,000 and $591,000 for the fourth quarter and full year of 2024, respectively.

Operating Expenses

Cost of revenues increased by $649,000 and $789,000 for the fourth quarter and full year of 2024, respectively. This was driven by the increase in Zola revenues, as product costs made up 84 percent of the total cost of revenues in 2024.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $1.0 million and $1.4 million for the fourth quarter and full year of 2024, respectively. This was driven by over $2.0 million of transaction costs in 2024 related to the sale of GoodWheat assets and the pending transaction with Roosevelt Resources, with $700,000 of these costs occurring in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Other operating expenses decreased by $4.0 million for the full year 2024 driven by a gain related to the asset sale to Corteva in the second quarter of 2024.

Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders

Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $4.1 million, or $2.98 per share, compared to $2.8 million, or $2.10 per share, for the same period in 2023. The increase in net loss attributable to common stockholders for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily driven by the change in the estimated fair value of common stock warrant and option liabilities.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders for 2024 was $7.1 million, or $3.17 per share, compared to $14.0 million, or $11.30 per share, for 2023. The improvement in net loss attributable to common stockholders for 2024 compared to 2023 was primarily driven by the $4.0 million gain related to the asset sale to Corteva in the second quarter of 2024 as well as the year-over-year decrease in net loss from discontinued operations.

Conference Call and Webcast

The company has scheduled a conference call for 4:30 p.m. Eastern time (1:30 p.m. Pacific time) today, March 20 to discuss fourth-quarter and year-end results and the year’s key strategic achievements. Interested participants can join the conference call using the following options:
