Grounding quotes
  • “The first quarter performed ahead of our expectations. Net revenue was $36.2 million and adjusted EBITDA was $0.3 million, our second consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA, reflecting the foundation we built in 2025.”
  • “we expect the first quarter of 2026 represents the revenue trough for the year”
  • “Repeat order rates among recent cohorts have recovered to levels consistent with what we saw before the migration. The effectiveness of our advertising is proving strong at the current scale, and we're ready to accelerate from here.”
  • “Gross margin of 54.8% was up 180 basis points year-over-year, and we believe this represents a durable improvement.”

Key takeaways

What improved, and what deserves a closer read.

Constructive signals

  • Second consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA at $0.3 million, versus a loss of $1.6 million in the prior-year period
  • Gross margin expanded 180 basis points year-over-year to 54.8%, driven by the Grove Green Rewards loyalty program shifting away from broad discounting
  • Operating cash flow improved to negative $0.7 million from negative $6.9 million in the prior-year period
  • Net loss narrowed to $1.0 million from $3.5 million in the prior-year period
  • Raised full-year 2026 net revenue guidance to $142.5–$152.5 million and adjusted EBITDA guidance to breakeven to positive low single digit millions
  • Management expects Q1 to be the revenue trough with sequential net revenue growth in each remaining quarter, supported by the February mobile app relaunch receiving 5-star reviews and recovering cohort repeat order rates

Risks & pressure points

  • Net revenue declined 16.8% year-over-year to $36.2 million
  • Ended the quarter with only $10.4 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash
  • Operating cash flow remained negative at $0.7 million, driven by an increase in inventory
  • 2026 guidance assumes continuation of current trade policy with no benefit from potential tariff clawbacks or refunds, which the company plans to pursue
  • Subscriptions remain a key engagement dependency, with management committing to a meaningfully improved subscription experience only by the Q2 reporting date

Key moments

Jump directly to management's words in the synchronized transcript.

“Customer acquisition costs and marketing efficiency have also improved to the point where we believe an increase in investment is justified. It's the strength of these new cohorts that are justifying the increased spend and reinforce confidence in expected sequential growth.” Jeff Yurcisin, CEO
