Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us on today's call to discuss Laird Superfood's First Quarter 2026 Financial Results. I'm Jason Vieth, President and Chief Executive Officer. With me today is Anya Hamill, our Chief Financial Officer. We issued our earnings press release and filed our Form 10-Q after market close today, and both are available on our Investor Relations website. The first quarter of 2026 marked a transformative milestone for Laird Superfood. On March 12, we completed the acquisition of Navitas Organics, one of the most trusted and established names in the premium organic superfood category. Founded in 2003, Navitas brings high-quality organic superfoods with a strong presence across natural and conventional grocery, club and e-commerce channels. We acquired Navitas to expand our product portfolio, broaden our distribution reach and accelerate our strategy of building a scaled positive nutrition platform. Just weeks after quarter end on April 21, we closed the acquisition of Terrasoul Superfoods. Terrasoul is a vertically integrated branded superfoods platform, offering nuts, seeds, dried fruits, powders, baking ingredients and functional beverage mix-ins. It sources globally, processes and packages in-house and distributes through e-commerce, food service and retail channels. This acquisition further expands our product assortment, strengthens our supply chain capabilities and broadens our footprint across multiple channels. Both transactions were funded through our partnership with Nexus Capital Management. The initial $50 million Series A preferred stock issuance in March funded the Navitas acquisition and the subsequent $60 million issuance in April funded the Terrasoul acquisition. These investments not only provided the capital to execute but also brought strategic expertise as we build a larger, more diversified superfood company. Following these transactions, Nexus now holds approximately 73.8% of our common stock on a fully diluted as-converted basis, and we are operating as a controlled company under NYSE American rules. Strategically, these moves are about creating a comprehensive superfood platform that can compete more effectively in a rapidly evolving category. Consumers continue to shift toward clean, minimally processed functional foods with recognizable ingredients. By combining Laird's functional coffee solutions and performance focus, Navitas' premium organic superfood leadership, and Terrasoul's vertically integrated ingredient expertise, we are building a differentiated portfolio that spans daily use products, functional beverages and broad superfood ingredients. As we have stated previously, these two acquisitions represent just the beginning of our roll-up strategy in the superfoods and positive nutrition space and we expect to make additional acquisitions in the years to come as we continue to scale the platform. Through these transactions, we have created a much stronger enterprise that is positioned to generate positive EBITDA and cash flow in the future. Given these improvements, we expect to use our balance sheet to attain some combination of debt and equity financing to support those future acquisitions. We are already executing our integration playbook across the three businesses. For Navitas, which was with us for the final 19 days of the quarter, we are laser-focused on aligning supply chain, finance and commercial operations while also preserving the brand's authentic identity and strong consumer relationships. The early contribution from Navitas in both e-commerce and wholesale channels validates the strategic fit. We have already integrated the Navitas organization into Laird Superfood and I'm pleased to report that we are attaining the expected synergies across the combined organization. Our team is now focused on delivering the COGS, distribution and brokerage savings that we had planned for the second half of this year and beyond. And with Terrasoul now part of the family, we are applying the same disciplined approach, leveraging shared capabilities in sourcing, co-manufacturing optimization and omnichannel distribution to drive efficiencies and accelerate growth. The addition of Terrasoul is particularly meaningful. Its vertical integration provides greater control over quality and cost, while its broad product line in nuts, seeds and powders complements our existing offerings and opens new doors in foodservice and ingredient channels. At the same time, Terrasoul delivers delivered superfood capability and enhanced online marketplace capability, which we believe will greatly benefit our entire business in the future. Together, these two acquisitions significantly increase our overall scale which we believe will improve our ability to invest in innovation, expand our consumer awareness and distribution footprint and deliver better economics over time. Looking forward, we are confident that this platform positions us to capture a larger share of the growing positive nutrition market. We will continue to focus on driving repeat usage, expanding our customer base across both e-commerce and wholesale, optimizing our supply chain and delivering innovative new products that align with consumer demand for functional clean label solutions. With regards to Q1, I am pleased to report that all of our brands achieved growth well in excess of the industry. Anya will share more details in a moment, but I can proudly report that our Q1 company growth was 20% versus last year, driven by the wholesale channel and our Amazon platform and including more than two weeks of Navitas Organics post acquisition. Even as we integrate two businesses, our supply chain continues to perform remarkably well. And while we had some margin pressure in Q1 related to inventory that was costed at higher commodity prices and with tariffs, we expect that to mitigate as we move forward through the balance of the year since commodity prices have already come down and tariffs are now removed from our products. I would be remiss if I did not mention that we are also leveraging AI in a very aggressive fashion and across our entire business. We now have AI supporting our team in forecasting, planning and execution activities across all of our functions, including supply chain, finance and marketing. We are already reaping the benefits of this technology in the organization as we transition the Navitas business to the Laird team with very little incremental headcount. I also want to share that we are making important shifts in our commercial engine. I am pleased to announce that Andy Judd has returned to the company to lead our marketing efforts. Andy was most recently at Poppi where he led the marketing activities as the brand rapidly scaled to more than $500 million in revenue and to an eventual sale to Pepsi. Under Andy's leadership, we will be pivoting more work in-house to drive greater efficiency, creativity and speed to market. This transition will involve some near-term ramp-up investment but we are confident that it will deliver both better ROI and stronger brand storytelling and consumer activation across our portfolio. On the sales side, we are bringing in new leadership to accelerate our wholesale momentum, particularly in conventional grocery and club, where we see substantial runway. We'll be able to share more on that appointment during our next call. While the near term will involve integration costs and complexity, we are energized by the strategic position that we have built and the long-term value creation opportunity ahead for our customers, our team and our shareholders. I'll now turn the call over to Anya to provide greater detail on the first quarter financial results. Anya?

Thank you, Jason, and good afternoon, everyone. I will now provide additional detail on our first quarter 2026 financial results. As Jason highlighted, Q1 was a foundational quarter for our platform. Now I will walk you through what drove our Q1 results and then spend some time on how we're thinking about the full year picture for the combined three-brand business. Net sales for the first quarter of 2026 were $13.9 million, up 20% compared to $11.7 million in the first quarter of 2025. Navitas Organics contributed $1.6 million of net sales in the quarter, representing its first partial period contribution following the March 12 close. Wholesale was again the primary growth engine, growing 37% year-over-year to $7.5 million and representing 54% of total net sales. This was driven by the addition of Navitas wholesale revenues as well as continued distribution expansion, product assortment wins in grocery and club and strong velocities at shelf. Our e-commerce channel grew 4% to $6.5 million or 46% of total net sales, driven by the addition of Navitas e-commerce revenues and continued strength on Amazon.com, partially offset by softness in Laird's direct-to-consumer channel. Gross margin in the first quarter was 33.3% compared to 41.9% in the prior year period, a contraction of 8.6 percentage points. I want to give you a clear breakdown of what drove this. Approximately 3.2 percentage points of the contraction was driven by a timing-related inventory cost and benefit in the first quarter of 2025 that did not recur in 2026. This was a prior year item, not a reflection of current period performance. The remaining approximately 5.4 percentage points reflects a combination of unfavorable channel and product mix, inflationary commodity costs, particularly in coffee, and the impact of import tariffs on certain input costs. These are real pressures that we are actively managing. Total operating expenses were $7.7 million in Q1 of 2026 compared to $5.1 million in the prior year period, an increase of 50%, which I will explain was largely driven by one-time acquisition costs. General and administrative expenses increased by 73% to $3.9 million. The increase was driven primarily by $1.3 million of Navitas acquisition and integration related professional fees, which are one-time in nature, as well as planned increases in personnel costs as we build the team to support a scaled multibrand platform. Sales and marketing expenses increased 33% to $3.8 million, driven by higher media spend, agency fees and increased selling costs on higher sales volume. GAAP net income for first quarter of 2026 was $1.8 million or $0.12 per basic share compared to a net loss of $0.2 million in the prior year period. I want to be transparent about what drove this. The GAAP net income figure includes a $4.7 million discrete nonrecurring income tax benefit resulting from the release of a deferred tax valuation allowance acquired in connection with the Navitas transaction. This reflects the recognition of deferred tax liabilities assumed in the acquisition, a one-time accounting benefit, not a reflection of operating performance. Stripping out that nonrecurring item and looking at adjusted EBITDA, which we believe is a better representation of our underlying business performance, Q1 2026 adjusted EBITDA was a $1.1 million loss compared to positive $0.4 million in the prior year period. The year-over-year decline reflects the gross margin pressures that I described earlier, such as commodity costs, tariffs and unfavorable product and channel mix as well as higher marketing and selling investments to support our growth strategy. As we integrate Navitas and Terrasoul and begin to realize procurement and operational synergies we expect our adjusted EBITDA to improve meaningfully through the balance of the year. Turning to the balance sheet. As of March 31, 2026, we had $10.5 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and no outstanding debt. Net working capital was $25.7 million, up from $11.1 million at year-end 2025, reflecting the inclusion of Navitas working capital acquired in the transaction. Inventory increased to $17.3 million from $7.8 million at year-end 2025, reflecting the addition of Navitas inventory. Cash used in operating activities was $3.8 million in Q1 of 2026 compared to $1.3 million in the prior year period. The increase was driven primarily by payment of Navitas acquisition-related costs and changes in net working capital related to timing of receivables collections and payables. I also want to give you an important post-quarter data point on liquidity. On April 21, we completed the Terrasoul acquisition for $48 million, funded by the $60 million subsequent issuance of Series A preferred stock to our Nexus Capital Management partners. After funding the acquisition, the remaining proceeds are available to support the payment of certain liabilities related to the acquisition as well as combined enterprise working capital needs. As of April 30, 2026, the combined company had approximately $24 million of cash and restricted cash. We believe this provides a solid liquidity position as we execute our integration plans. Now turning to 2026 outlook, and let me walk you through our 2026 guidance for the combined platform. For fiscal year 2026, the company expects consolidated net sales in the range of $138 million to $148 million, reflecting a full year of Laird Superfood and the post-acquisition contributions of Navitas and Terrasoul. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $8 million to $12 million for fiscal 2026, reflecting full year of Laird Superfood and the post-acquisition contributions of Navitas and Terrasoul businesses, driven by top line growth and early synergy realization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes transaction and integration costs, which are one-time in nature. I want to reiterate one more time that this guidance does not include the periods of 2026 that we did not own each of the Navitas and Terrasoul businesses. We will provide updated guidance as integration milestones are achieved and our visibility improves. We also want to help dimensionalize how the entire business is growing in 2026, but that is difficult given that Terrasoul has not yet been audited on GAAP principles. So for illustrative purposes only, on a pro forma full year basis, as if Navitas and Terrasoul were acquired on January 1, 2026, aggregating all three businesses and comparing 2026 to 2025 using the same account and methodology as each company utilized in 2025, we would expect full year 2026 net sales to grow in the range of 8% to 12%. In closing, first quarter was a transitional quarter by design. We absorbed the cost of building the platform, acquisition fees, working capital investment and integration spending while continuing to deliver healthy top line growth. Our focus for the balance of the year is clear: integrate effectively, capture synergies across procurement and operations, continue to grow the top line across all three brands and convert that growth into meaningful adjusted EBITDA improvement. And with that, I'll turn the call back to Jason.

Thank you, Anya. 2026 will go down as another pivotal year of transformation for Laird Superfood. With the successful acquisitions of Navitas Organics and Terrasoul Superfoods now complete, we have significantly expanded our scale, diversified our portfolio and strengthened our position in the fast-growing positive nutrition category. We've brought together three strong complementary brands with leading positions across functional beverage, premium organic superfoods, made with close-to-the-earth, minimally processed ingredients, creating a powerful platform that is far greater than the sum of its parts. While the near term includes integration costs and some associated margin pressure, the long-term opportunity is clear and compelling. We are building a scaled, diversified superfood company with improved economics, stronger innovation capabilities and multiple levers for sustainable growth. We remain confident in our ability to deliver positive EBITDA and cash flow as we execute our roll-up strategy and continue to pursue additional strategic acquisitions. I want to thank our entire team for their tremendous work and dedication during this transformative period, our new partners at Nexus Capital for their strategic support and all of you for your continued interest in Laird Superfood. We look forward to updating you on our progress throughout the remainder of 2026. Thank you again for joining us today. This concludes our call. Operator, we are now open for questions.

Your first question comes from the line of Eric Des Lauriers with Craig-Hallum Capital Group. We remain focused on executing our roll-up strategy and will continue to pursue additional strategic acquisitions. I want to thank our entire team for their tremendous work and dedication during this transformative period, our new partners at Nexus Capital for their strategic support, and all of you for your continued interest in Laird Superfood. We look forward to updating you on our progress throughout the remainder of 2026. Thank you again for joining us today. This concludes our call. Operator, we are now open for questions.

Congrats on another acquisition here and the strong integration so far. My first question here is just on Terrasoul. Just wondering if you could please expand on the vertical integration capabilities specifically. You mentioned greater controls on quality and cost and then opening up new channels in foodservice and ingredients. Just wondering if you could expand on that a bit for us?

Eric, great question. Thank you. It's nice to hear from you. Yes, we're really excited about this Terrasoul acquisition. This is really a full circle moment for us at Laird Superfood, because when I first came here four years ago, we were self-manufactured. We had a facility up in Oregon, and we were distributing out of it. We were just very subscale and not ready to be undertaking those activities. So we ultimately had to shut that down, move to a co-pack, third-party logistics, outsourced manufacturing and distribution system. Frankly, that's what saved the company at the time. We were able to flip gross margins from 15% to over 40% and to really take control of our business. That was a move we undertook about three years ago and to come full circle to this position, as I mentioned, where we are with Terrasoul, we're really excited because what it indicates from our perspective is that we now have the manufacturing scale and size of business that warrants having our own facility. The operators that were running Terrasoul, the owner, Dennis Botts and his team, were doing a fantastic job at the size that they already were. They were producing almost everything inside of Terrasoul, in fact producing for other brands at different times as well in order to achieve scale and cost benefits. Now with the addition of Navitas and Laird and the opportunity to bring those brands into Terrasoul to capture that vertical integration capability that they've built, I think, is really exciting for us. At this point, the Terrasoul facility is running really well, but it's not fully utilized. It's currently running one shift throughout the week. There's opportunity over time to add additional shifts but also to add additional lines to the shift that's there. So in Terrasoul, we have a group of very efficient and proficient operators that really know how to run these particular products, which are very similar, as you know, to the Navitas and the Laird products. We're not going to jump into that too quickly. We have a lot on our plate right now just integrating the Navitas business. Our integration strategy is essentially to integrate Navitas while we let Terrasoul operate in its own facility. As we bring Navitas in fully over the next couple of months, we'll put in place that plan to start looking at transitioning Navitas and Laird production into Terrasoul as well. We'll take it in steps. We're going to do it very thoughtfully. We've seen others that have made messes of acquisitions. I've done a lot of acquisitions over the years, WhiteWave, Sovos, et cetera. I've seen the good and the bad. We're going to be very careful and thoughtful, and we have a really great team down there that I think we'll be able to handle once we make that transition. To flesh that out a little more: they are producing out of that facility, and they're also distributing out of that facility. They distribute to Amazon, to other online marketplaces, to foodservice operators and to a smaller retail business as well. In Terrasoul, we have operators that really understand how to run omnichannel manufacturing and distribution. We're really excited and optimistic about what that will look like as we combine the businesses, not only from a cost perspective, but by enabling new capabilities as well. Regarding channels, Terrasoul is a very interesting business and very complementary to the other two brands that we already had in the portfolio. Terrasoul has a much larger foodservice component than either of the other two businesses. With that, we pick up over 3,000 distribution points that are being drop-shipped out of the facility and currently are servicing Terrasoul product sites. As we go forward, we have two more brands with very complementary and interesting products for that same channel. We're really excited about what that can look like. Those are facilities we don't currently serve with the other two brands. So it's completely additive to our existing footprint. With the Terrasoul acquisition, we also get a very proficient Amazon and marketplace operator that I think will help us to bring our other two brands to an even greater height in those channels as well. So it fits really, really well with the other two businesses. There is some crossover in products, not as much as you would expect, but very similar products that are made the same way with the same type of equipment in the same type of facility that get distributed on the same trucks, but to different locations and with an additive online capability that we're really going to harness as well.

Awesome. That's great color, and really great to hear. Looking forward to what you guys can do with that over the coming quarters here. And then just overall on M&A. So you mentioned you guys are still active, not stopping here. Of course, you're going to have some integration time. Just wondering if you could kind of give us a high level sort of outlook here. How should we think about overall pacing of acquisitions? Is it sort of one or two a year? Or just any sort of framing on either timing or size of acquisitions would be helpful.

Yes, Eric. This is not a strategy that's fully set in concrete at this point. We're still working through that and really assessing not only what our appetite is, but what our aptitude is for being able to integrate and continue to move, while keeping an eye on the existing businesses. We'll learn more as we work our way through Navitas and then Terrasoul. But I think you're pretty safe if you say one to two per year. As I mentioned when we completed Navitas, if the right property became available over the course of the 2026 calendar year, we would absolutely look at it. We would need to be able to buy it at the right price and believe that there is a nice synergy play or accretive play to the business that we have today. We have a nice muscle in this space that we're developing and proving out here with Navitas right now. We have really great partners over at Nexus that help support that acquisitive strategy. So this is going to be a roll-up. We're going to continue to add additional brands, but we'll be very thoughtful in the brands that we add. They'll fit into this health and wellness space as close to the earth as we possibly can get: minimally processed, real food type of brands. When they come available, we want to make sure that we're ready to take a hard look at them. So I think one to two is a pretty safe assumption, but in this particular case where we've already done two, maybe you could start that year anew right now and say one to two in the next year might be a goal for us.

Your next question comes from the line of Nicholas Sherwood with Maxim Group. We'll be very thoughtful about the brands we add. They will fit into the health and wellness space and be as close to the earth as possible: minimally processed, real food–type brands. When they become available, we want to make sure we're ready to take a hard look at them. I think one to two is a pretty safe assumption, and in this particular case where we've already done two, you could consider starting the year anew and set a goal of one to two in the next year.

I'm kind of thinking about how you're going to be managing and facilitating the best practices across the three organizations you have. How you're sharing the e-commerce and logistics specialties from Terrasoul versus maybe some of the more the wholesale specialties at Navitas and just making sure that lines of communication are clear.

Yes, it's a great question. In terms of organizational structure, we're still a relatively small and nimble organization. We're leveraging AI very heavily. You heard me say that earlier. It's really amazing how we're able to add on and double parts of our business with relatively small incremental headcount. That will continue as we go forward. Terrasoul is different for us because it is its own manufacturing facility, and we need to have an organization down there that's leading that facility. You don't have the same consolidation opportunity with that as you have with Navitas, in terms of being able to really consolidate right away. But as we go forward and we make additional acquisitions and we fit more manufacturing into Terrasoul and more brands into the overall holding company, I think you'll see that we can continue to stay very nimble and lean. We don't have a lot of communication barriers between the companies. What we've done thus far is we've integrated the Navitas people who are staying with the business; they're working side-by-side with our team. We do have teams split between California, Oregon and Colorado, and we're leveraging online collaboration tools effectively. The teams are already well integrated and understand the swim lanes and responsibilities that have been set. As I mentioned, we brought on a new wholesale leader and a new sales leader who will be joining in the next couple of weeks and Andy Judd to run marketing. Each of those leaders will set up the right processes and controls across the entire system to make sure that from a commercial perspective we're coming to market cohesively with all three brands. Jared Larkin, who leads our supply chain, is doing the same thing across the entire supply chain. Where we have an outsourced model, now we also have a large plant that's producing by far a large portion of our unit volume, so he needs to stay very close to that team and ensure smooth integration. Overall, we were built to be able to do this by virtue of having multiple locations and a flat organizational structure, so I don't anticipate significant issues on communication or best-practice sharing.

Okay. Perfect. I appreciate that detail. And then thinking about the foodservice opportunity, what sort of foodservice locations should we be thinking about — talking about fast casual restaurants, hospital cafeterias, university dining halls, airlines — how should we sort of frame that new part of the business?

That's a great question. It's early development for us with these three brands. We think we have an opportunity across many of those channels, but we'll be prioritizing where we go first given relatively limited resources. To start, Terrasoul has a tremendous business that they've already built out in health and wellness-oriented spaces, including coffee shops and other operators where our Laird lineup, and Terrasoul and Navitas products can work together. Hospitals are an interesting opportunity — people in hospitals often don't have great food options, and we think our minimally processed, close-to-the-earth foods can be a better fit over time. College and university dining halls are important as well; getting to younger consumers who care about health and wellness is a long-term opportunity. We already have the capability with Terrasoul to drop-ship directly to locations, which creates a competitive advantage for servicing these channels.

Your next question comes from the line of George Kelly with ROTH Capital Partners.

A few for you. First, maybe a follow-up to one of the prior questions about your M&A pipeline. Curious where you think there's still opportunity or maybe it's within your product portfolio or capabilities? Like where else might it make sense to look for future M&A?

Great, George — always a pleasure to take your questions. We are looking at additional brands that fit nicely into the portfolio we're building in the superfood space. We're also looking at capabilities we can leverage to take existing brands to new channels. Terrasoul checked both boxes for us: product fit and capabilities. Our focus is domestic, primarily the U.S., and maybe North America more broadly, but the U.S. is our hub. On the product side, we're targeting brands that bring new products, particularly in coffee solutions and functional foods. There's a lot of brands in that space around the $40 million to $80 million range — that's a sweet spot for us. We wouldn't rule out something larger if it anchored the portfolio, but the strategy is to take a handful of $50 million-to-$70 million brands and scale them to $100 million and beyond. Capability-wise, we're interested in assets that open new channels, such as foodservice, where a product has proven distribution and can bring leverage for the other brands. That's the type of acquisition that makes sense for us; we don't want to buy a brokerage. We want proven products in proven channels, similar to the Terrasoul profile. Honestly, we'd love to do more acquisitions with that kind of profile.

Okay. That's helpful. And then other questions just around your guide — the full year guide. I know the first half is just a little messy because you're doing these acquisitions and they're layering in. But if we look at the back half, what's baked into your guide, is it fair to say that you'll be doing like low 30s percent gross margin and around a 10% EBITDA margin in the back half of the year? That's the first part. And then second part of the question is if I'm ballpark with those ranges, are there a lot of synergies that are not sort of fully baked into those numbers or longer-term synergies, maybe they'll be more fully realized in 2027. Is that a fair statement? If you could cover those two questions, that would be great.

George, this is Anya. Thanks for the question. On gross margin, we certainly have an acceleration plan for the balance of the year to be in the low to mid-30s. There are four drivers to that acceleration. One is top-line growth from new distribution, reduced promotional spend as well as slot-in charges that we incurred in Q1 for new distribution. Second is commodity favorability; in Q1 we were still going through higher-cost commodities that were purchased last year with tariffs. Third, channel mix and product mix become more favorable in the balance of the year, and anticipated tariff refunds will help. Fourth, the addition of Terrasoul, which wasn't reported in our Q1 numbers since we didn't complete the acquisition until Q2. Early synergy realization is also a factor. We're early in the acquisition process, and we feel like we are on track with our synergies expectations. It won't be a full year of synergies, but we are on track and that will be reflected in the back half numbers as well.

Maybe just a follow-up. Is the 10-ish percent EBITDA margin in the back half realistic?

I think that's a little high, especially with just putting those businesses together. Mid-single digits would be more appropriate for the back half, given the timing of integration and partial-year realization of synergies.

Yes. I think high single digits is a reasonable expectation. The way I think about it is we expect to be a double-digit EBITDA business over time, but we need to get through the full synergy play. There are synergies that we won't get to in 2026. Moving production into the Terrasoul facility is a good example — there are meaningful dollars associated with that, but it's staged beyond 2026 or may start later in 2026 and bleed into 2027. So it would be a little aggressive to expect to be all the way to 10% plus EBITDA in the back half of the year. We'll push for it, but given the timing of synergies and integration activities, reaching high single digits is a more realistic near-term expectation.

There are no further questions at this time. I will now turn the call back to Jason for closing remarks.

Great. Thank you. Thanks to all of you for joining us again today and for your continued interest in the company. We appreciate your time and all the thoughtful questions that came at us again today and we look forward to updating you on our progress next quarter where we'll have even more to share on the Navitas and Terrasoul acquisitions. This concludes our earnings call. Have a great day.

This concludes today's call. Thank you for attending. You may now disconnect.
