For a description of our non-GAAP measures see the “Non-GAAP
Measures” section accompanying this release; and for
reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP measures see the
“Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” accompanying this
release.
John Lindeman, Chief Executive Officer of
Hydrofarm, said, "In 2024, we delivered over $9 million of Adjusted
SG&A(1) expense savings, demonstrating our commitment to
continued cost management to counter persistent challenging
industry conditions. While fourth quarter industry headwinds
affected our Adjusted EBITDA(1) and Free Cash Flow(1) performance,
we successfully maintained annual sales to the mid-point of our
full-year outlook. Our strategic focus on proprietary brands has
successfully increased our sales mix of higher-margin proprietary
brands from approximately 35% in 2020 to 56% in 2024. We've also
reduced our manufacturing footprint by nearly 60% since early 2023
while maintaining excellent product quality. Looking ahead to 2025,
we have a clear roadmap focused on reinvigorating our proprietary
brand sales mix, optimizing our distribution network, and
implementing additional cost-saving measures. We're encouraged by
our e-commerce growth and revenue diversification efforts through
geographic expansion and non-cannabis sales. We remain confident in
our ability to execute on initiatives within our control and
enhance long-term shareholder value."
Fourth Quarter
2024 Financial Results
Net sales in the fourth quarter of 2024
decreased 20.9% to $37.3 million compared to $47.2 million in the
prior year period. This was primarily due to a 16.8% decline in
volume/mix of products sold related to oversupply in the cannabis
industry, and a 3.9% decrease in price.
Gross Profit decreased to $1.8 million, or 4.9%
of net sales, compared to $8.4 million, or 17.9% of net sales, in
the prior year period. Adjusted Gross Profit(1) decreased to
$3.6 million, or 9.6% of net sales, compared to
$11.5 million, or 24.3% of net sales, in the prior year
period. The decreases in Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit(1),
Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin(1) were primarily
due to lower sales, lower proprietary brand sales mix, and
approximately $1.4 million of inventory reserves and related
charges.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”)
expense was $17.0 million, compared to $19.9 million in
the prior year period, and Adjusted SG&A(1) expense was
$10.8 million compared to $12.0 million in the prior year
period. The reductions in SG&A and Adjusted SG&A(1)
expenses were due to decreases in several areas, including
compensation costs associated with headcount reductions and lower
performance-based compensation expense, facility costs, insurance,
and professional fees, driven by the Company's restructuring
actions and related cost-saving initiatives.
Net loss was $17.5 million, or $(3.80) per
diluted share, compared to a net loss of $15.2 million, or
$(3.33) per diluted share, in the prior year period. The decline in
net loss was primarily due to lower sales, partially offset by
SG&A expense reductions.
Adjusted EBITDA(1) decreased to
$(7.3) million, compared to $(0.6) million in the prior
year period. The reduction was related to lower net sales and lower
Adjusted Gross Profit Margin(1) partially offset by lower Adjusted
SG&A(1) expense.
Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Cash
Flow
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had
$26.1 million in cash and approximately $13.0 million of
available borrowing capacity on its Revolving Credit Facility. The
Company ended the fourth quarter with $119.3 million in principal
balance on its Term Loan outstanding, $8.3 million in finance
leases, and $0.1 million in other debt outstanding. During 2024 and
2023, the Company maintained a zero balance on its Revolving Credit
Facility. As of December 31, 2024, the Company was in
compliance with debt covenants under its Revolving Credit Facility
and Term Loan.
The Company generated net cash from operating
activities of $2.7 million and invested $0.3 million in capital
expenditures, yielding Free Cash Flow(1) of $2.4 million during the
three months ended December 31, 2024.
For the full year 2024, cash used in operating
activities was $0.3 million and the Company invested $2.9 million
in capital expenditures, yielding Free Cash Flow(1) of $(3.2)
million. Free Cash Flow(1) decreased from the prior year period,
primarily due to lower earnings and working capital changes.
Full Year 2025 Outlook
The Company is providing the following outlook
for the full fiscal year 2025:
- Net sales to
decrease ten to twenty (10-20%) percent.
- Adjusted EBITDA(1)
that is negative, but improved from 2024.
- Free Cash Flow(1)
that is negative, but improved from 2024.
Hydrofarm’s 2025 outlook is predicated on
several assumptions, including:
- Improved year-over-year Adjusted
Gross Profit Margin resulting primarily from an expectation of (i)
a higher full year proprietary brand sales mix, (ii) continued
benefit from cost savings associated with 2024 restructuring and
related productivity initiatives as well as new cost savings
planned for 2025, (iii) minimal non-restructuring inventory
reserves or related charges.
- Reduced year-over-year Adjusted
SG&A expense resulting from full year benefit of reductions
completed in 2024 and further reductions in professional and
outside service fees, facilities and insurance expense.
- Further reduction in inventory and
net working capital for the full year.
- Capital expenditures of less than
$2 million.
(1) Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit
Margin, Adjusted SG&A, Adjusted SG&A as a percent of net
sales, Adjusted EBITDA, and Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP measures.

Measures” section accompanying this release; and for

Cautionary Note Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements
Statements contained in this press release,
other than statements of historical fact, which address activities,
events and developments that the Company expects or anticipates
will or may occur in the future, including, but not limited to,
information regarding the future economic performance and financial
condition of the Company, the plans and objectives of the Company’s
management, and the Company’s assumptions regarding such
performance and plans are “forward-looking statements” within the
meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws that are subject to
risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements generally
can be identified as statements that include phrases such as
“guidance,” “outlook,” “projected,” “believe,” “target,” “predict,”
“estimate,” “forecast,” “strategy,” “may,” “goal,” “expect,”
“anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “foresee,” “likely,” “will,”
“should” or other similar words or phrases. Actual results could
differ materially from the forward-looking information in this
release due to a variety of factors, including, but not limited
to:
The market in which the Company operates has
been substantially adversely impacted by conditions of the
agricultural and cannabis industries, including oversupply and
decreasing prices of the products the Company's end customers sell,
which, in turn, has materially adversely impacted the Company's
sales and other results of operations and which may continue to do
so in the future; If industry conditions worsen or are sustained
for a lengthy period, the Company could be forced to take
additional impairment charges and/or inventory and accounts
receivable reserves, which could be substantial, and, ultimately,
the Company may face liquidity challenges; The Company’s Revolving
Credit Facility and future debt facilities may limit the operation
of the Company’s business including restricting its ability to sell
products directly to the cannabis industry; Although equity
financing may be available, the Company's current stock prices are
at depressed levels and any such financing would be dilutive;
Interruptions in the Company's supply chain could adversely impact
expected sales growth and operations; Increased prices and
inflation could adversely impact the Company's performance and
financial results; Global political and economic conditions
including the imposition of potential tariffs could increase the
costs of the Company's products and adversely impact the
competitiveness of the Company's products and the Company's
financial results; The Company may be unable to meet the continued
listing standards of Nasdaq; The Company's restructuring activities
may increase our expenses and cash expenditures, and may not have
the intended cost saving effects; The highly competitive nature of
the Company’s markets could adversely affect its ability to
maintain or grow revenues; Certain of the Company’s products may be
purchased for use in new or emerging industries or segments,
including the cannabis industry, and/or be subject to varying,
inconsistent, and rapidly changing laws, regulations,
administrative and enforcement approaches, and consumer perceptions
which may adversely impact the market for the Company’s products;
The market for the Company’s products has been impacted by
conditions impacting its customers, including related crop prices,
climate change, and other factors impacting growers; Compliance
with government laws and regulations including environmental and
other public health regulations or changes in such regulations or
regulatory enforcement priorities could increase the Company’s
costs of doing business or limit the Company’s ability to market
all of its products; Damage to the Company’s reputation or the
reputation of its products or products it markets on behalf of
third parties could have an adverse effect on its business; If the
Company is unable to effectively execute its e-commerce business,
its reputation and operating results may be harmed; The Company’s
operations may be impaired if its information technology systems
fail to perform adequately or if it is the subject of a data breach
or cyber-attack; The Company may not be able to adequately protect
its intellectual property and other proprietary rights that are
material to the Company’s business; Acquisitions, other strategic
alliances and investments could result in operating and integration
difficulties, dilution and other harmful consequences that may
adversely impact the Company’s business and results of operations.
Additional detailed information concerning a number of the
important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from the forward-looking information contained in this
release is readily available in the Company’s annual, quarterly and
other reports. The Company disclaims any obligation to update
developments of these risk factors or to announce publicly any
revision to any of the forward-looking statements contained in this
release, or to make corrections to reflect future events or
developments except as otherwise required by law.

Notes to GAAP to Non-GAAP
reconciliations presented above (Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted
SG&A, Adjusted EBITDA, and Free Cash Flow):
- For the three and
twelve months ended December 31, 2024, and December 31,
2023, Restructuring expenses related primarily to non-cash
inventory markdowns associated with manufacturing facility
consolidations, and the charges incurred to relocate and terminate
certain facilities.
- For the three and
twelve months ended December 31, 2024, Severance and other
charges primarily related to estimated net legal costs related to
certain litigation and severance charges. For the three and twelve
months ended December 31, 2023, Severance and other charges
primarily related to workforce reductions and charges in
conjunction with a sale-leaseback transaction during the first
quarter of 2023.
- Includes
stock-based compensation and related employer payroll taxes on
stock-based compensation for the periods presented.
- Other income, net
related primarily to foreign currency exchange rate gains and
losses and other non-operating income and expenses. For the three
and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, Other income, net
also included a cash settlement arising from an outstanding
litigation matter of a previously acquired entity. For the twelve
months ended December 31, 2023, Other income, net also
included charges from Amendment No. 1 to the Company's Term
Loan.
- Loss on asset
disposition for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024,
relates to the sale in the second quarter of 2024 of the
inventories, and property, plant and equipment associated with the
Company's Innovative Growers Equipment ("IGE") branded products to
CM Fabrication, LLC (the "Asset Sale").
- The total gross
proceeds associated with the IGE Asset Sale were $8.7 million, of
which the Company estimated and classified $5.0 million in Net cash
from operating activities, and $3.7 million in Investing
activities, as these cash flows were associated with the sale of
inventory and property, plant and equipment, respectively. The cash
proceeds classified within Net cash from operating activities were
partially offset by $1.3 million cash paid to terminate the
associated facility lease and cash transaction costs paid during
the period. As a result, the Asset Sale contributed an estimated
$3.5 million to Net cash from operating activities and Free Cash
Flow during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. In
addition, in connection with the Asset Sale, the Company paid $0.7
million to terminate certain equipment finance leases and
classified this cash outflow within Financing activities for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2024. In total, the IGE Asset
Sale contributed net cash proceeds, after repayment of certain
lease liabilities and transaction expenses, of an estimated $6.3
million. In 2023, gross proceeds of $8.6 million received during
the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, from a
sale-leaseback of real estate located in Eugene, Oregon, was
classified as a Financing activity and is not reflected in Net cash
from operating activities or Free Cash Flow in the prior year
period.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We report our financial results in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”).
Management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures
provide investors with additional useful information in evaluating
our performance and that excluding certain items that may vary
substantially in frequency and magnitude period-to-period from net
loss provides useful supplemental measures that assist in
evaluating our ability to generate earnings and to more readily
compare these metrics between past and future periods. These
non-GAAP financial measures may be different than similarly titled
measures used by other companies.
To supplement our condensed consolidated
financial statements which are prepared in accordance with GAAP, we
use "Adjusted EBITDA", "Adjusted Gross Profit", "Adjusted
SG&A", "Free Cash Flow", "Net Debt", and "Liquidity" which are
non-GAAP financial measures. We also present certain of these
non-GAAP metrics as a percentage of net sales. Our non-GAAP
financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or
as substitutes for, financial information prepared in accordance
with GAAP. There are several limitations related to the use of our
non-GAAP financial measures as compared to the closest comparable
GAAP measures.
We define Adjusted EBITDA
(non-GAAP) as net loss (GAAP) excluding interest expense, income
taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, stock-based
compensation including employer payroll taxes on stock-based
compensation, restructuring expenses, impairments, severance, loss
on asset disposition, other income/expense, net, and other
non-cash, unusual and/or infrequent costs (i.e., acquisition and
integration expenses), which we do not consider in our evaluation
of ongoing operating performance.
We define Adjusted EBITDA
(non-GAAP) as a percent of net sales as Adjusted
EBITDA (as defined above) divided by net sales in the respective
period.
We define Adjusted Gross Profit
(non-GAAP) as Gross Profit (GAAP) excluding depreciation,
depletion, and amortization, restructuring expenses, severance and
other expenses, and other non-cash, unusual and/or infrequent
costs, which we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing
operating performance.
We define Adjusted Gross Profit
Margin (non-GAAP) as a percent of net
sales as Adjusted Gross Profit (as defined above) divided
by net sales in the respective period.
We define Adjusted SG&A
(non-GAAP) as SG&A (GAAP) excluding depreciation, depletion,
and amortization, stock-based compensation including employer
payroll taxes on stock-based compensation, restructuring expenses,
severance and other expenses, and other non-cash, unusual and/or
infrequent costs (i.e., acquisition and integration expenses),
which we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating
performance.
We define Adjusted SG&A
(non-GAAP) as a percent of net sales as Adjusted
SG&A (as defined above) divided by net sales in the respective
period.
We define Free Cash Flow
(non-GAAP) as Net cash from (used in) operating activities less
capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment. We believe
this provides additional insight into the Company's ability to
generate cash and maintain liquidity. However, Free Cash Flow does
not represent funds available for investment or other discretionary
uses since it does not deduct cash used to service our debt or
other cash flows from financing activities or investing
activities.
We define Liquidity as total
cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, if applicable, plus
available borrowing capacity on our Revolving Credit Facility.
We define Net Debt as total
debt principal outstanding plus finance lease liabilities and other
debt, less cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, if
applicable.
