Third Quarter 2025 Financial Overview

Revenues, net of discounts, for the third quarter 2025 were $203 million, down from $217 million for the third quarter of 2024, and up from $202 million for the second quarter of 2025. The decrease in revenue for the third quarter 2025 compared to the third quarter 2024 was driven primarily by ongoing price compression and competition.

Gross profit for the third quarter 2025 was $95 million or 47% of revenue, down from $109 million or 50% of revenue for the third quarter 2024, and down from $113 million or 56% of revenue for the second quarter 2025. The decrease in gross profit for the third quarter 2025 compared to the third quarter 2024 was due to overall top line revenue declines, increased promotional activity, and an increase in the costs of goods sold due to short-term operational enhancements.

SG&A expenses for the third quarter 2025 were $81 million or 40% of revenue, down from $92 million or 43% of revenue for the third quarter 2024, and down from $86 million or 43% of revenue for the second quarter 2025. The decrease in SG&A expenses for the third quarter 2025 compared to the third quarter 2024 was driven primarily by a decrease in depreciation and amortization and efficiencies generated across the business.

Net loss for the third quarter 2025 was $(44) million or (22)% of revenue, versus $(43) million or (20)% of revenue in the third quarter 2024. The increase in net loss for the third quarter 2025 compared to the third quarter 2024 was primarily driven by an impairment charge of $5 million and legal loss contingencies of $10 million, offset by a lower provision for income taxes compared to the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA¹ for the third quarter 2025 was $53 million or 26% of revenue.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the third quarter 2025 was $26 million, down from $30 million for the third quarter 2024, which was primarily attributable to an increase in income tax payments made during the third quarter 2025 compared to the prior year period.

Capital expenditures for the third quarter 2025 were $8 million, down from $57 million for the third quarter 2024, and down from $10 million in the second quarter 2025.
