• Q2 Net Sales Up 42%

  Net sales reached $85.4 million, a 42.3% increase from $60.0 million in Q2 2025, driven by 40.3% volume growth from distribution gains and new products.

• Gross Margin Compresses

  Gross margin fell to 35.9% from 40.7% a year ago, primarily due to higher trade spend (including a national club program) and product mix, partially offset by pricing and lower slotting fees.

• Net Loss Narrows

  Net loss improved to $5.0 million from $9.0 million in Q2 2025, helped by the elimination of a non-cash derivative liability fair-value charge and higher gross profit, partially offset by increased SG&A.

• Full-Year Guidance Raised

  2026 net sales outlook raised to $327–$335 million (36–39% growth) and Adjusted EBITDA to $3–$4.5 million, up from prior implied guidance, reflecting strong Q2 performance and confidence in execution.

A standout second quarter saw net sales climb 42% to $85.4 million, fueled by volume gains across both kid and baby product lines. Gross margin compressed to 35.9% from 40.7% a year ago, reflecting higher trade spend and mix shifts, yet the net loss narrowed to $5.0 million from $9.0 million. Bolstered by this momentum, management raised its full-year 2026 guidance, now projecting net sales of $327–$335 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $3–$4.5 million. The balance sheet remains debt-free with $93.5 million in cash following the February IPO, providing ample runway to fund growth. While the raised outlook and improving bottom line stand out, the market will focus on whether margin pressure proves transitory and if the top-line acceleration can be sustained.
