Conference Call Today at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time

 

BELVIDERE, NJ, August 14, 2026 — Edible Garden AG Incorporated (“Edible Garden” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: EDBL, EDBLW), a leader in controlled environment agriculture (“CEA”), locally grown, organic and sustainable produce and products, today reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

 

Edible Garden continued building momentum during the second quarter, with revenue increasing 12.8% to $3.6 million and total sales growing 31.2% year over year. The results reflected strong demand for the Company’s cut herb portfolio, growth across its herb and condiment portfolio, with continued expansion among both existing and new retail customers.

 

During the quarter, the Company also strengthened its strategic foundation by expanding relationships with leading national and regional retailers, improving operating efficiency through strategic supply-chain initiatives, advancing its Farm-to-Formula® strategy through continued progress toward commercialization of its ready-to-drink (“RTD”) platform, and receiving industry recognition for both its controlled environment agriculture platform and branded consumer products. Subsequently, Edible Garden further expanded its relationship with Target through a new fresh-cut herb distribution award at a key Midwest distribution center, which is expected to broaden distribution of the Company’s premium fresh-cut herb portfolio across a network of Target stores throughout the region.

 

These accomplishments build on Edible Garden’s Farm-to-Formula strategy, leveraging the Company’s established retail relationships, vertically integrated operating platform, nationwide distribution network, food safety expertise, and commercialization capabilities

 

Financial & Operating Highlights for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2026

 

 

·

Revenue increased 12.8% to $3.6 million, compared with $3.1 million in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting continued growth in the Company’s cut herb portfolio.

 

·

Broad-based growth supported the quarter’s performance, with total sales growing 31.2% year over year, including:

 

 

o

Cut herb sales increased 42%, driven by growth with existing retail partners and new programs with Kroger, Target, and Weis Markets.

 

 

 

 

 

o

Potted herb sales increased 11.3%, supported by new business with Busch’s Fresh Food Market, Kroger, Pete’s Market and Weis Markets, together with continued growth at Wakefern.

 

o

International Vitamins sales increased 50.0%, reflecting incremental product offerings and promotional activity.

 

o

Condiment sales increased 594.7%, driven by new customer placements with Safeway, Wakefern and Woodman’s Markets.

 

 

·

Advanced commercialization of the Company’s Farm-to-Formula strategy, successfully completing RTD prototype production at Tetra Pak’s New Product Development Center while continuing development of the Prairie Hills manufacturing platform, which is expected to provide annual production capacity of more than 100 million beverage units upon completion.

 

“Our second quarter demonstrated continued execution across both our core business and our long-term growth strategy,” said Jim Kras, Chief Executive Officer of Edible Garden. “We delivered double-digit revenue growth, generated broad-based growth across our product portfolio, expanded relationships with leading retailers and continued advancing the key commercialization milestones supporting our Farm-to-Formula strategy. We believe these results reflect the strength of our operating platform and the increasing value of the foundation we have built.”

 

“The momentum in our core business continues to build. Cut herb sales increased more than 42%, driven by growth with existing customers and new programs with Kroger, Target, and Weis, while potted herbs, International Vitamins and condiments also delivered strong growth. We further expanded programs with Walmart, Wakefern, ShopRite and The Fresh Market and strengthened long-term revenue visibility through an expanded multi-year private-label agreement with a major Midwest retailer. Our recent award of fresh-cut herb distribution through a key Target Midwest distribution center further expands that relationship and demonstrates our ability to leverage our Midwest production and distribution infrastructure to efficiently support additional volume. At the same time, our transition to retailer distribution center deliveries in the Metro New York market is expected to improve operating leverage while reducing transportation costs and further supporting our Zero-Waste Inspired® mission.”

 

We also continued making meaningful progress toward commercialization of our Farm-to-Formula strategy, which we believe represents one of the most significant long-term growth opportunities in Edible Garden's history. During the quarter, we successfully completed prototype production at Tetra Pak's New Product Development Center, validating our proprietary clean-label formulations under commercial processing conditions while generating valuable data to support product optimization, customer sampling, and manufacturing readiness. We also advanced development of the Prairie Hills manufacturing facility through the engagement of Structura Architects and E2 Building Group, further strengthening the team responsible for bringing the project from design to commercial production.”

 

“Prairie Hills is being developed as a flexible, high-capacity manufacturing platform for shelf-stable, clean-label nutritional beverages utilizing advanced Tetra Pak processing and packaging technologies. At full production, the facility is expected to have the capacity to manufacture more than 100 million beverage units annually, supporting opportunities across sports nutrition, protein beverages, functional wellness, meal replacement, and other better-for-you categories. Importantly, the platform is being designed to support both Edible Garden's branded products and private-label manufacturing, creating multiple potential avenues for long-term growth.”

“What makes this opportunity especially compelling is that we are not starting from scratch. We have spent years building trusted relationships with leading retailers, developing nationally recognized brands, establishing food safety and supply chain capabilities, and creating a commercialization platform with products available in more than 6,000 retail locations. We believe combining those assets with scalable domestic RTD manufacturing positions Edible Garden to significantly expand its addressable market, diversify its revenue base, improve the long-term earnings profile of the business, and create sustainable value for our shareholders,” concluded Mr. Kras.

 

Financial Overview

 

Financial results for the second quarter of 2026 reflected continued revenue growth and a reduction in operating loss, supported by lower selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by higher cost of goods sold and depreciation and amortization associated in part with the Company’s pivot toward RTD clean nutrition manufacturing.

 

Financial Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2026

 

Revenue increased 12.8% to $3.6 million, compared to $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The 12.8% growth was primarily attributable to continued growth in the Company’s cut herb portfolio across its retail customer base, which increased approximately $0.5 million, or 50.5%.

 

Gross profit was $0.6 million, compared to $0.6 million in the prior-year period.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $3.1 million, compared to approximately $4.0 million in the prior-year period, a decrease of approximately $0.9 million, or 21.5%.

 

Net loss improved to $3.3 million, compared to a net loss of $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025.
