Laird Superfood Reports First Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Net Loss was $0.2 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to Net Loss of $1.0 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, in the corresponding prior year period and Net Loss of $0.4 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2024. The improvement was driven by Gross Margin expansion, as well as lower marketing, and general and administrative (G&A) costs.
Gross Margin was 41.9% compared to 40.0% in the corresponding prior year period, and 38.6% in the fourth quarter of 2024. Increased absorption of overhead related to inbound freight in the current quarter resulting from increased inventory purchases accounted for approximately 3.3 points of Gross Margin in Q1 2025. Gross Margin is expected to normalize for the balance of the year to achieve a high 30s percent for the full year in accordance with our guidance.
Net Sales of $11.7 million compared to $9.9 million in the corresponding prior year period and $11.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.
During the quarter, our Gross Margin proved to be as resilient as expected despite the recent, historic run-up in commodities such as coffee prices and coconut milk powder. That strength translated to our bottom-line result as well, with an $860 thousand narrowing of our Net Loss and a positive $400 thousand Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter. This result demonstrates the leverage that we expect to gain as we grow our business from here, and along with our strong Net Sales growth, highlights another outstanding quarter in our Laird Superfood turnaround story."
Jason Vieth, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "I am pleased to report another strong quarter of Net Sales growth for Laird Superfood. Our Q1 results represent the fifth consecutive quarter of double-digit year-over-year sales growth, which was once again driven by our strategic expansion into brick-and-mortar stores and through Amazon. Our growth in Q1 demonstrates the sustained momentum of our business and comes despite the impact of the previously reported out-of-stocks that occurred as a result of stronger than expected creamer and latte sales during the fourth quarter of 2024. To that end, I am pleased to report that we are now beyond the inventory issues and supply constraints on these products – and have built a more flexible and adaptive Supply Chain in the process.
BOULDER, Colo., May 07, 2025 --( BUSINESS WIRE )--Laird Superfood, Inc. (NYSE American: LSF) ("Laird Superfood," the "Company", "we", and "our"), today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights
We had $7.2 million of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash as of March 31, 2025, and no outstanding debt.
Cash used in operating activities was $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to cash used in operating activities of $0.4 million in the same period in 2024. The increase in cash used relative to the corresponding prior year period was driven by strategic investment into working capital to meet high demand for our products and to address the out-of-stocks experienced at the end of 2024 and in Q1 2025.
2025 Outlook
Management's strategy is to drive growth well in excess of the consumer goods and food industry averages:
Management re-affirms Net Sales growth in the 20% to 25% range, driven by continued expansion across Wholesale accounts and further penetration of consumers on e-commerce platforms.
Gross Margin is expected to hold in the upper 30s, despite inflation in commodities and other cost pressures.
Breakeven adjusted EBITDA.
Cash use of $1 to $2 million for the full year to invest in inventory to support top line growth and to minimize out-of-stocks.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(unaudited)
In this press release, we report Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per diluted share, which are financial measures not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The Company's management uses non-GAAP financial measures, both internally and externally, to assess and communicate the financial performance of the Company. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude: (1) interest expense and other (income) loss, (2) income tax (benefit) expense, (3) depreciation and amortization expenses, (4) stock-based compensation, and (5) expenses and recoveries related to a product quality issue. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it facilitates comparisons of its core business operations, excluding non-cash costs and non-recurring events, across periods on a consistent basis.
Management uses Adjusted EBITDA internally in analyzing the Company's financial results to assess operational performance and to determine the Company's future capital requirements. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to Adjusted EBITDA in assessing its performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and others to understand and evaluate the Company's operating results and it allows for a more meaningful comparison between the Company's performance and that of competitors. Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider this performance measure in isolation from or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are that Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect, among other things: cash capital expenditures for assets underlying depreciation and amortization expense that may need to be replaced or for new capital expenditures; interest expense; income tax expense from continuing operations; our working capital requirements; the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation; and the provision for income taxes. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA along with other financial performance measures, including Net Sales, net loss, cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, net cash used in operating activities and our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.
The following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP, to adjusted EBITDA, for each of the periods presented:

In January 2023, we identified a product quality issue with raw material from one vendor and we voluntarily withdrew any affected finished goods.

Teradyne, Inc. (TER): A Bull Case Theory
We came across a bullish thesis on Teradyne, Inc. on Hunterbrook's Substack. In this article, we will summarize the bulls' thesis on TER. Teradyne, Inc.'s share was trading at $107.43 as of July 31st. TER's trailing and forward P/E were 37.31 and 32.15, respectively according to Yahoo Finance. Logistics robots filling packages in a warehouse, preparing for delivery. Hunterbrook Media, in collaboration with Citrini Research, reveals that Teradyne (TER) may be the hidden supplier behind Amazon's highly publicized new warehouse robot, Vulcan. Amazon claims Vulcan marks a major leap in automation, featuring a robotic arm with a 'sense of touch' capable of picking and stowing items at human-like speed. However, buried beneath the headlines is the fact that Vulcan's robotic limbs are actually built by Universal Robots, a Danish company acquired by Teradyne in 2015. Visual evidence from Amazon's own promotional materials clearly shows the Universal Robots logo and Robotiq grippers — accessories tailored specifically for Universal Robots' arms. As Amazon moves to automate 80% of its 14 billion hand-stowed items annually, this could translate to a ~$400 million opportunity for Teradyne's robotics division, which currently accounts for just 10–15% of company revenues. The implications extend beyond Amazon, as the Vulcan's capabilities showcase the progress made by combining AI and robotics. Innovations like vision-language-action models and Nvidia's Isaac Sim — integrated directly into Teradyne's robots — are enabling robots to reason spatially and act with precision in complex environments. Nvidia claims these integrations are 50–80x faster than legacy systems, potentially setting a new standard in industrial automation. Despite slumping shares tied to a cyclical downturn in Teradyne's core semiconductor testing business, this Amazon collaboration signals a pivotal moment. With no recent insider stock sales for the first time since 2018, and earnings around the corner, Teradyne may be on the brink of a robotics-driven revaluation. Previously we covered a bullish thesis on Lam Research Corporation (LRCX) by The Antifragile Investor in May 2025, which highlighted its role in chipmaking, strong service margins, and high switching costs. The company's stock price has appreciated approximately 14.55% since our coverage. This is because the thesis played out as expected. Hunterbrook shares a similar view in its thesis on Teradyne (TER) but emphasizes robotics-led upside. Teradyne, Inc. is not on our list of the 30 Most Popular Stocks Among Hedge Funds. As per our database, 49 hedge fund portfolios held TER at the end of the first quarter which was 61 in the previous quarter. While we acknowledge the potential of TER as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If you're looking for an extremely undervalued AI stock that also stands to benefit significantly from Trump-era tariffs and the onshoring trend, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.

Celtics minority owner reaches deal to buy Connecticut Sun for record $325 million, AP source says
UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) — A group led by Celtics minority owner Steve Pagliuca has reached a deal to buy the Connecticut Sun for a record $325 million and move the team to Boston, according to a person familiar with the sale. The franchise wouldn't play in Boston until the 2027 season. Pagliuca also would contribute $100 million for a new practice facility in Boston for the team, the person said. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity on Saturday because the deal hasn't been publicly announced. The sale is pending approval of the league and its Board of Governors. 'Relocation decisions are made by the WNBA Board of Governors and not by individual teams,' the league said in a statement. The Sun have played regular season games at TD Garden the last two years, including one against Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever in July. The league has announced five expansion teams that will begin play over the next five seasons with Portland (2026), Toronto (2026), Cleveland (2028), Detroit (2029) and Philadelphia (2030) joining the WNBA. Each paid a then-record $250 million expansion fee. Nine other cities bid for expansion teams, including Houston, which the league singled out as getting a team in the future when it announced Cleveland, Detroit and Philadelphia in June. Boston did not. 'No groups from Boston applied for a team at that time and those other cities remain under consideration based on the extensive work they did as part of the expansion process and currently have priority over Boston. Celtics' prospective ownership team has also reached out to the league office and asked that Boston receive strong consideration for a WNBA franchise at the appropriate time.' The Boston Globe first reported the sale. The Sun are owned by the Mohegan Tribe, which runs the casino where the team has played since 2003. The Tribe bought the franchise for $10 million and relocated it from Orlando that year. The Connecticut franchise was the first in the league to be run by a non-NBA owner and also became the first to turn a profit. The WNBA has experienced rapid growth the last few seasons and ownership groups have been investing more into their teams, including player experiences. That has come in the way of practice facilities. The Sun are one of the few teams in the league that haven't announced any plans for a new training facility. Connecticut practices either at the arena in the casino or a local community center. Despite the lack of facilities, the Sun have been one of the most successful teams in the league, making the postseason in 16 seasons, including a run of six straight semifinal appearances. But the team was hit hard this offseason with the entire starting five from last season leaving either via free agency or trade. Connecticut is currently in last place in the WNBA at 5-21. The team sent out a letter to season ticket holders last week saying they'd still be playing at the casino next year. The last team to be sold in the WNBA was in 2021 when real estate investor Larry Gottesdiener led a group that bought the Atlanta Dream for under $10 million. A year earlier, Mark Davis paid roughly $2 million for the Las Vegas Aces.

Amazon Online Retail Sales Surged 11% In Second Quarter, Ahead Of Amazon Prime Day
Online shoppers came out in full force to power 11% growth in Amazon online store sales, its largest reporting segment, and its second-largest, third-party seller services, advanced 11% in the second quarter ended June 30, all before the big Amazon Prime Day four-day sales event. Amazon Prime delivery person in van sorting packages, Queens, New York. (Photo by: Lindsey Nicholson/UCG/Universal Images Group via Getty Images) UCG/Universal Images Group via Getty Images Amazon total net revenues blew past estimates to reach $167.7 billion, up 13%, and net income rose 35% to $18.2 billion, yet investors were spooked by modest third-quarter earnings guidance and increased cloud and AI competition from Microsoft and Google, causing Amazon shares to slide 8% by week's end, according to CNBC. Amazon Web Services, its business-facing cloud segment, was the fastest-growing unit, up 17% to $30.9 billion, though growth slowed from 19% second quarter 2024 and lagged behind Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, both of which reported growth over 30% this year. On the consumer side of business, Amazon's online store exceeded Wall Street's $59 billion estimates to reach $61.5 billion and grew more than twice as fast as last year's second quarter when online stores advanced by 5%. Services to its over two million third-party marketplace sellers bettered expectations to reach $40.3 billion, though it grew at about the same pace as last year's second quarter. Advertising services, an important profit driver, reached $15.7 billion, up 23% over previous year, and subscription services grew 12% to $12.2 billion. Third quarter 2025 guidance is for net sales to reach between $174.0 billion and $179.5 billion, a 10% to 13% increase, though operating income is expected to range between $15.5 billion and $20.5 billion, compared to $17.4 billion last year. 'There continues to be a lot of noise about the impact that tariffs will have on retail prices and consumption. Much of it thus far has been wrong and misreported,' CEO Andy Jassy said during the earnings call. He added, 'Through the first half of the year, we haven't yet seen diminishing demand nor prices meaningfully appreciating.' Key Background Amazon's online retail sales increase bettered the industry's 6% non-store sales growth in the second quarter. Second-quarter performance is particularly noteworthy because it doesn't include revenues generated during this year's Prime Day event held July 8-11, 2025. By comparison, second- quarter online revenues this year came in a shade higher than the $61.4 billion generated during last year's third quarter when Prime Day was held. Amazon also reported that Prime membership signups during the three weeks before this year's Prime Day broke records, as did the number of items sold in advance. All of which bodes well for a significant increase over last year's third quarter online store revenues. The long-awaited return of Nike products to Amazon gave this quarter's online sales a boost. Also generating greater customer engagement was the launch of new luxury brands on the platform, including Aveda, Marc Jacobs fragrances, Aveda, Origins and Milk Makeup. In addition, the Saks on Amazon platform added Dolce & Gabbana, Etro, Stella McCartney, Rosetta Getty, and La Prairie this quarter. The Amazon Essentials product line offering everyday low prices continues to gain new adherents and now represents one out of every three units sold. Amazon Pharmacy has advanced 50% year over year. In a new pilot Perishables service for customers ordering other items for same day delivery, it reported 'strong customer adoption' with 20% of customers returning multiple times in their first month. It is also leaning into faster delivery by expanding same-day and next-day delivery to millions of U.S. customers in 4,000 smaller cities, towns and rural communities by the end of 2025. What To Watch For Tariff's impact on Amazon retail prices remain to be seen, as Jassy said, 'It's impossible to know what will happen.' He gave no hint about how prices might be affected once Amazon's advanced inventory is depleted, nor did he reveal how the company or its third-party sellers would deal with prices as costs go up. However, he did state that no matter what happens, Amazon's prices are likely to be lower to consumers 'on the items they care about.'
