Analysis · GVH · Energy & Transportation
Revenue grew 8% to $14.8 million, fueled by a 44% surge in average daily shipments, yet gross margin compressed to 7.1% from 10.5% as freight and last-mile costs outpaced revenue growth. Operating expenses more than doubled, pushing the company to a $370K operating loss and a net loss of $31K. The balance sheet remains solid with $7.1 million in cash and $9.1 million in working capital, providing runway for the recently acquired Loomi Entertainment and other strategic pivots. The earnings miss and margin erosion are the story — the logistics core is growing volumes but not profits.
