– Revenues increase sequentially and year-over-year –

– Loss from continuing operations is at lowest level in 6 years –

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 first quarter of 2024.

“Arcadia continued its positive trajectory in the first quarter of 2024,” said Stan Jacot, president and CEO. “Revenue continues to grow, both sequentially and year-over-year, and we have transitioned the topline to high-quality revenue that generates gross profit across multiple sources. Operating expenses continued to decline at a double-digit pace versus last year, and this is now our fifth straight quarter of gross profit margins greater than 30 percent.

“Our GoodWheat™ is in more than 3,500 stores in three categories, and Zola® coconut water is positioned for double-digit growth with new flavors and distribution. And finally, we remain focused on monetizing our IP and accelerating delivery of cashflow positive results,” he added.

Q1 2024 Key Operating and Business Highlights

  • GoodWheat Continues Distribution Expansion. The GoodWheat brand continued to expand in Q1, adding a couple hundred stores of distribution for pancake and waffle mixes. GoodWheat Mac & Cheese launched nationwide on Amazon in Q1 2024 with three varieties: Classic Cheddar, White Cheddar and Three Cheese. And Amazon recently selected GoodWheat Three Cheese Mac & Cheese as an “Amazon’s Choice: New Arrival Pick” based on its high ratings, pricing and availability.
  • Zola Coconut Water Increases Store Count. Zola added nearly 200 new stores in Q1 and will ship to approximately 1,300 new stores in Q2. Arcadia expects Zola to be a key driver in 2024 for both revenue and gross profit, with the upcoming launch of new Pineapple and Lime flavors and increasing distribution.

Revenues

Revenues increased slightly during the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 driven by GoodWheat and Zola sales, partially offset by higher costs associated with new distribution.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses decreased $780,000 during the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, primarily driven by a decrease in selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses related to rightsizing the organization and marketing investment.

Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders

Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the first quarter of 2024 was $2.4 million, or $1.78 per share, a $7.0 million improvement from the $9.4 million, or $10.86 per share, net loss for the first quarter of 2023. The improvement in net loss attributable to common stockholders for the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily driven by the valuation loss related to the March 2023 financing transaction.
