Strategic Transition to Higher-Margin Products
Edible Garden's strategic shift towards higher-margin, shelf-stable products such as Kick. Sport Nutrition, Pickle Party, Squeezables, Pulp, and Vitamin Way is gaining traction, contributing to margin expansion and setting the stage for scalable, profitable growth. Non-perishable revenue rose 15% year-over-year.
Gross Profit and Margin Improvement
Gross profit increased 283% year-over-year, nearly quadrupling from Q1 2024, while gross margin improved to 3.2% from 0.7% due to stronger cost control and improved SKU mix.
Acquisition of Natural Shrimp Facility
The $15.5 million acquisition of Natural Shrimp Farms, funded through a mix of preferred equity and institutional investment, strengthens Edible Garden's balance sheet without increasing debt and enhances water efficiency and reduces environmental impact.
Sustainability Achievements
Through initiatives like Walmart's Project Gigaton, Edible Garden helped avoid nearly 11,800 metric tons of virgin plastic in 2024, conserved over 28,000 gallons of diesel, and diverted 103 tons of food through donation programs.
