Hydrofarm reports Q1 EPS ($3.12) vs ($2.75) last year

Reports Q1 revenue $40.534M vs $54.172M last year. John Lindeman, Chief Executive Officer of Hydrofarm (HYFM), said, “In the first quarter we achieved sequential improvements across the business by reinvigorating the focus on our higher margin proprietary brands, and executing on our strategic priorities. Our proprietary brand sales mix increased to 55% compared to 52% in the fourth quarter of 2024, led by our consumable products, driving substantial improvement in our Adjusted Gross Profit margin sequentially. We also delivered significant savings in Adjusted SG&A expense, marking our 11th consecutive quarter of meaningful year-over-year expense reductions. While ongoing industry headwinds weighed on year-over-year results, we are controlling what we can and believe that we can build on this progress throughout the year. We are committed to growing our proprietary brand sales mix, further optimizing our distribution network, and implementing additional cost-saving measures, and as we execute on this strategic roadmap, we expect to enhance long-term shareholder value.”
