The earnings call presented a mixed picture, with significant challenges from tariffs and revenue declines but also proactive strategic shifts in cost reduction and product diversification. The company is committed to long-term growth and has taken decisive steps to mitigate near-term challenges.
Company Guidance
During Aterian Inc.'s Q1 2025 earnings call, the company provided guidance reflecting the impact of recent macroeconomic changes, particularly the global trade policy shifts. The fiscal quarter saw a decline in net revenue to $15.4 million from $20.2 million in Q1 2024, attributed to SKU rationalization and reduced Amazon traffic. The adjusted EBITDA loss slightly improved to $2.5 million from $2.6 million. In response to increased tariffs, Aterian plans to accelerate its manufacturing diversification, with a target to produce over 30% of goods in China by the end of 2025, down from the previous target of below 40% by the second half of 2026. The company is also advancing into consumables, implementing strategic price increases, and initiating a cost reduction plan targeting $5 million to $6 million in annualized savings. Despite challenges, Aterian expects to navigate 2025 without raising equity capital, although it withdrew its previous financial guidance due to ongoing volatility.
Cost Reduction Initiatives
The company announced a fixed cost reduction initiative targeting $5 million to $6 million in annualized savings, with most savings coming from headcount reductions.
Shift in Manufacturing Strategy
Aterian is accelerating its plan to reshore and diversify manufacturing, with a goal to produce more than 30% of its goods outside China by the end of 2025.
Product Diversification
The company plans to deepen its expansion into consumable products which are predominantly exempt from tariffs, with new product launches expected in late Q3 2025.
Improvement in Operating Loss
Operating loss for Q1 2025 narrowed to $3.7 million from a loss of $5.3 million in the year-ago quarter, an improvement of approximately 30%.
