Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On November 6, 2025, Barfresh Food Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) issued an update on recent business developments in conjunction with the filing of its form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.
The conference call discussing these results took place on Thursday, November 6, 2025, at 1:30 pm Pacific Time (4:30 pm Eastern Time). A telephonic playback will be available through Thursday, November 20, 2025.
Use of Non-GAAP Measures
Barfresh Food Group Inc. prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). In order to aid in the understanding of the Company’s business performance, the Company has also presented certain non-GAAP measures, including Adjusted Gross Profit which is reconciled to gross profit, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are reconciled to net (loss) in the schedules to the press release furnished with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1. The reconciling items are non-operational or non-cash costs, including costs associated with the acquisition of Arps Dairy, Inc., relocating our manufacturing lines, stock compensation, and other non-recurring costs such as those associated with the dispute regarding the product withdrawal and manufacturing relocation costs. The Company has also presented Gross Margin and Adjusted Gross Margin which are calculated based on its results.
Management believes that Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to the investor because they are directly reflective of the period-to-period performance of the Company’s core business. In addition, Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA are used in developing the Company’s internal budgets, forecasts and strategic plan; in analyzing the effectiveness of its business strategies; and in making compensation decisions and in communications with its board of directors concerning its financial performance.
Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to gross profit, loss from operations, net loss or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP as a measure of operating results. They may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and exclude financial information that some may consider important in evaluating the Company’s performance.

Barfresh Announces Third Quarter 2025 Results
Record Quarterly Revenue of $4.2 Million, an Increase of 16% Year-Over-Year for Third Quarter 2025
Achieved Positive Adjusted EBITDA and Gross Margin of 37% for Third Quarter 2025
Reiterates Fiscal 2025 Revenue Guidance to $14.5-$15.5 Million and Preliminary Fiscal 2026 Guidance of $30-$35 Million
Completes Acquisition of Arps Dairy; In Process of Transitioning More Barfresh Products from Co-manufacturers to
Arps Dairy
LOS ANGELES, November 6, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Barfresh Food Group Inc. (the “Company” or “Barfresh”) (Nasdaq: BRFH), a provider of frozen, ready-to-blend and ready-to-drink beverages, is providing a business update for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.
Management Comments
Riccardo Delle Coste, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “The third quarter marks a truly transformational inflection point for Barfresh, as we delivered record quarterly revenue and achieved positive Adjusted EBITDA while completing the strategic acquisition of Arps Dairy that fundamentally enhances our business model and growth trajectory. The manufacturing challenges that constrained our first half performance are expected to be fully resolved by the end of the fourth quarter with our two smoothie bottle co-manufacturing partners now operating with improved consistency. The completion of the Arps Dairy acquisition in early October provides us with owned manufacturing capabilities that will drive both top and bottom-line growth, while giving us direct control over a significant portion of our production capacity.”
“Our strong third quarter results, combined with the tangible benefits we’re already seeing from the Arps Dairy acquisition, give us confidence to reiterate our fiscal 2025 revenue guidance to $14.5 million to $15.5 million and preliminary fiscal 2026 guidance of $30 million to $35 million. This represents up to 126% growth versus our fiscal 2025 guidance and a dramatic acceleration that underscores the combined company’s substantial growth potential.”
Third Quarter of 2025 Financial Results
Revenue increased 16% year-over-year to $4.2 million for the third quarter of 2025, representing the highest quarterly revenue in company history. The increase in revenue was driven by improved production consistency from co-manufacturing partners, successful execution during the peak back-to-school season, expanded school district penetration, and strong uptake of the Company’s Pop & Go product line launched in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Gross margin for the third quarter of 2025 was 37%, compared to 35% for the third quarter of 2024. The increase in gross margin reflects better operational efficiency as co-manufacturers reached full capacity and more favorable product mix with higher-margin products representing a larger portion of sales. Adjusted gross margin for the third quarter of 2024 was 38%. A reconciliation of Gross Profit to Adjusted Gross Profit is provided below.
Net loss for the third quarter of 2025 improved to $290,000, as compared to a loss of $513,000 in the third quarter of 2024. The improvement was driven by an increase in revenue and gross margin, partially offset by acquisition-related expenses.
Selling, marketing and distribution for the third quarter of 2025 was $941,000 or 22% of revenue, compared to $990,000 or 27% of revenue in the third quarter of 2024. G&A expenses for the third quarter of 2025 were $844,000, compared to $705,000 in the third quarter of 2024. The year-over-year increase in G&A expenses was primarily due to acquisition-related expenses associated with the Arps Dairy transaction.
Adjusted EBITDA was a gain of approximately $153,000 for the third quarter of 2025, representing substantial improvement from the prior year period loss of approximately $124,000 and demonstrating the operational momentum being built. A reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA is provided below.
First Nine Months of 2025 Financial Results
Revenue for the first nine months of 2025 increased 11% to $8.8 million, compared to $7.9 million in the same period of 2024. The increase in revenue is the result of improvements in Twist & Go bottled smoothie sales from inventory built ahead of its seasonally high third quarter and the inclusion of Pop & Go sales.
Gross margin for the first nine months of 2025 was 34%, compared to 37% for the same period of 2024. The decrease in gross margin is a result of product mix and new manufacturer trial and development costs. Adjusted gross margin for the first nine months of 2024 was 39%. A reconciliation of Gross Profit to Adjusted Gross Profit is provided below.
Net loss for the first nine months of 2025 was $1.9 million, as compared to a loss of $2.0 million in the same period of 2024. Selling, marketing and distribution for the first nine months of 2025 increased to $2.4 million, compared to $2.3 million in the same period of 2024. G&A expenses for the first nine months of 2025 decreased to $2.3 million, compared to $2.4 million in the same period of 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA was approximately a loss of $952,000 for the first nine months of 2025, as compared to a loss of $752,000 in the same period of 2024. A reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA is provided below.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The above information is presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In order to aid in the understanding of the Company’s business performance, the Company has also presented below certain non-GAAP measures, including Adjusted Gross Profit, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are reconciled in the table below to comparable GAAP measures, and certain calculations based on its results including Gross Margin and Adjusted Gross Margin. Management believes that Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to the investor because it is directly reflective of the performance of the Company. The exclusion of certain items including manufacturing relocation costs in calculating Adjusted Gross Profit and stock compensation and other non-recurring costs such as those associated with the product withdrawal, the related dispute, certain manufacturing relocation costs, and business development expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s core business performance. Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized measurements under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to Gross Profit, loss from operations, net loss or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP.

Balance Sheet
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had approximately $4.4 million of cash and accounts receivable, and approximately $1.1 million of inventory on its balance sheet. The acquisition of Arps Dairy was funded primarily through approximately $1.3 million in debt repayment using an expansion of the existing line of credit.
With the completion of the Arps Dairy acquisition, the Company has significantly enhanced its balance sheet with valuable manufacturing assets, including an operational 15,000-square-foot processing facility and a 44,000-square-foot state-of-the-art manufacturing facility that will be completed in 2026. Additionally, the $2.3 million government grant that has been preliminarily approved for Arps Dairy will support the construction and equipment needs for the expanded facility.
Outlook for 2025 and 2026
The Company is reiterating its previously raised fiscal year 2025 revenue guidance of $14.5 million to $15.5 million, representing 36% to 46% year-over-year growth. The Company raised this guidance in September following the announcement of its acquisition of Arps Dairy.
The Company is also reiterating its preliminary fiscal year 2026 revenue guidance of $30 million to $35 million, representing 126% growth compared to the high end of fiscal 2025 guidance. This substantial growth reflects the full-year contribution from Arps Dairy, continued market penetration in the education channel, expansion of the Pop & Go product line, and operational leverage from the integrated manufacturing model.
