Gross margin improved by 610 basis points and cash burn was a record low of $1.4 million
Laird Superfood, Inc. (NYSE American: LSF) (“Laird Superfood,” “we” and “our”), today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2023.
Second Quarter 2023 Highlights
- Net sales of $7.7 million compared to $8.1 million in the prior quarter, and $8.7 million in the prior year period.
- Wholesale contributed 46% of total Net sales and increased 2.6% year-over-year, driven by distribution gains in the Retail channel, pricing, as well as velocity improvements behind new packaging and the re-branding campaign launched earlier this year.
- E-commerce contributed 54% of total Net sales and decreased 20.1% year-over-year reflecting Amazon sales compression due to inventory out of stocks related to the previously discussed product quality issue experienced in Q1. We expect this out-of-stock issue to be fully resolved in the third quarter. Direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) revenues declined behind a strategic, planned reduction in Marketing spend, reflecting a 67% decrease in working media. This was offset by an increase in our subscription base which grew 10% sequentially and 21% compared to the prior year period.
- Gross margin was 24.3%, compared to 23.1% in the first quarter of 2023 and 18.2% in the prior year period. This 610 basis point margin expansion was driven by the transition to a variable cost third-party co-manufacturing business model, but was offset by incremental Trade spend intended to drive growth in Retail, specifically around innovation expansion, awareness, and trial.
- Net loss was $3.5 million, or $0.38 per diluted share compared to Net loss of $4.1 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2023 and Net loss of $4.9 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, in the prior year period. The improvement is driven by Gross margin expansion, lower Marketing and general and administrative spend.
- Adjusted net loss, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, was $3.3 million, or $0.36 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2023 compared to $3.7 million, or $0.40 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2023 and $6.2 million, or $0.68 per diluted share in the prior year period. This sequential and prior year improvement was driven by significantly expanded Gross margins and lower Marketing and G&A spend. For more details on non-GAAP financial measures, refer to the information in the Non-GAAP financial measures section of this press release.
Jason Vieth, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "I am happy to share that we continued to make strong progress against our strategic initiatives and toward breakeven profitability during Q2. As expected, our transition to an outsourced manufacturing and distribution model has already yielded strong improvements in our Cost of Goods Sold, which fell by 18 points year-over-year as we fully overcame the raw material challenge that we had reported during the first quarter results. For the quarter, Gross Margin rose again, beating our Q1 2023 result by 120 basis points, and improving 6.1 points vs. the same period one year ago. This improvement in Gross Margin would have been even stronger in Q2, except for the investments that we have made in Trade Promotion to drive incremental awareness and trial in Retail stores."
"While the overall market remains challenging, we are confident that our strategy to grow the Wholesale channel while significantly reducing our Marketing spend is already bearing fruit, as demonstrated in the 29% year-over-year improvement in our Net Loss during Q2. We expect to make further progress on that strategy in the second half of 2023, as we seek to further refine and target our Marketing spend and ensure support of our bricks and mortar distribution. Consumer affiliation for the Laird Superfood brand and product portfolio remains extremely high, and we are as excited as ever for the long-term prospects of this brand and business."
Anya Hamill, Chief Financial Officer, commented, "In the second quarter, we continued to build on the success we achieved in the first quarter from strategic actions implemented last year. For the second quarter in a row, Adjusted gross margin was in the mid-twenties with Q2 Gross margin reaching 24.3%, a 610 basis point improvement versus same period last year. I expect margin expansion to ramp up even more in the back half of the year as we see the full benefit of the Supply Chain transformation and as other planned margin driving initiatives take hold. Additionally, our $1.4 million cash burn was a record low in Q2, driven by improved operational performance, and lower SG&A spend and working capital. Our Q2 SG&A was $1.3 million lower than the same quarter last year on an adjusted basis, demonstrating progress we made in managing costs."
"Despite the progress made improving the middle of our P&L, we had higher promotional spend in Q2 as we increased support of our Wholesale channel distribution as well as inventory out-of-stocks that impacted our Amazon performance. We expect to resolve these issues during Q3, but are updating our guidance to reflect Net sales in the range of $34 – 37 million and Gross margin of 27 – 29% for full year 2023, with second half Gross margin exceeding 30%, excluding any one-time extraordinary costs."

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights
The Company had $10.6 million of Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash as of June 30, 2023, and no outstanding debt.
Net cash used in operating activities was $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2023, compared to $6.1 million in the first quarter of 2023, and $3.9 million in the prior year period. Cash burn in the second quarter of 2023 was less than half of normalized quarterly cash used in operations in 2022. The reduction in cash burn was driven by the realization of the operating efficiencies gained from the transition to the variable cost co-manufacturing model and the related reductions in overhead and administrative costs. Cash used in operating activities in the first quarter of 2023 was elevated due to Sisters exit costs.
2023 Outlook
We are updating our guidance for the full year of 2023 to reflect recent results, management’s revised near-term outlook, and the current economic environment. Net sales for 2023 are now expected to be in the range of $34 million to $37 million compared to our previous guidance of $37 million to $39 million and Gross margin in the range of 27% to 29% excluding any one-time extraordinary costs as compared to previous guidance of full year Gross margin in excess of 30% .

The Company will host a conference call and webcast at 5:00 p.m. ET today to discuss results. Participants may access the live webcast on the Laird Superfood Investor Relations website at https://investors.lairdsuperfood.com under “Events”.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this press release, we report Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted net loss, and Adjusted net loss 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”). Management uses these adjusted metrics to evaluate financial performance because they allow for period-over-period comparisons of the Company’s ongoing operations before the impact of certain items described below. Management believes this information may also be useful to investors to compare the Company’s results period-over-period. We define Adjusted net loss and Adjusted net loss per diluted share to exclude certain one-time costs defined in detail in the tables to follow. We define Adjusted gross margin to exclude the Net sales and Cost of goods sold components of one-time costs defined in the tables to follow. Please be aware that Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted net loss, and Adjusted net loss per diluted share have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for Gross margin, Net loss, or Net loss per diluted share. In addition, we may calculate and/or present Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted net loss, and Adjusted net loss per diluted share differently than measures with the same or similar names that other companies report, and as a result, the non-GAAP measures we report may not be comparable to those reported by others.
These non-GAAP measures are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the table that follows.
