Business Context and Reporting Period

Company: Once Upon A Farm, PBC (OFRM)

Reporting Period: Quarter ended March 31, 2026 (Q1 2026)

Business Overview: The Company manufactures and distributes organic, nutrient-packed food products for babies and kids, including cold-pressed pouches and snacks. It operates as a single segment primarily within the United States.

Key Event: The Company completed its Initial Public Offering (IPO) on February 9, 2026, issuing approximately 9.3 million shares at $18.00 per share and receiving net proceeds of approximately $138.8 million. This event triggered the conversion of all outstanding convertible preferred stock and convertible notes into common stock.

Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Net sales increased 44% year-over-year to $72.7 million, driven by a 21% volume increase, favorable product mix, and the introduction of 35 new SKUs in the quarter. Baby snacks sales grew 122% and baby pouches grew 109%.
• Profitability: While the Net Loss narrowed to $15.8 million from $19.5 million, the Operating Loss widened to $16.2 million from $9.2 million. This was primarily due to a $17.5 million increase in Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) expenses.
• SG&A Expenses: Increased 62% to $45.8 million. Key drivers included $5.7 million in stock-based compensation (accelerated vesting and IPO-related grants), $5.5 million in marketing expenses (including $7.0 million cash paid to a Spokesperson upon IPO), and increased headcount.
• Liquidity and Debt: Cash balances surged from $10.9 million to $99.9 million due to IPO proceeds. The Company used a portion of these proceeds to repay all $43.0 million of outstanding nonconvertible debt and converted all convertible notes, resulting in zero outstanding debt as of March 31, 2026.
• Non-GAAP Measures: Contribution Margin improved to 36% from 31%. Adjusted EBITDA improved to $(3.1) million from $(7.5) million.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Outlook: Management expects existing cash and available borrowing capacity ($65.0 million revolving credit facility and $30.0 million term loan facility) to support operations for at least the next 12 months. The Company plans to continue investing in cooler rollouts (targeting 15,000+ units), product innovation, and brand awareness.
• Spokesperson Agreement: A significant related-party transaction involves a Spokesperson agreement. In Q1 2026, the Company paid $7.0 million in cash and recognized $5.4 million in unamortized expense. A subsequent amendment in May 2026 added $3.0 million in future cash consideration.
• Risk Factors:
  • Supply Chain & Geopolitics: Risks include tariffs, trade wars, and geopolitical conflicts (specifically citing hostilities involving the U.S., Israel, and Iran) impacting fuel costs, freight, and ingredient sourcing from Mexico and South America.
  • Customer Concentration: Customer A accounted for 17% of net sales in Q1 2026. Customer A and Customer C combined held 50% of accounts receivable.
  • Profitability: The Company has a history of operating losses and an accumulated deficit of $151.5 million. There is no assurance it will achieve or sustain profitability.

Investor Verification Checklist

• IPO Proceeds Utilization: Verify the specific allocation of the $138.8 million net proceeds beyond debt repayment and the timeline for planned investments in cooler expansion and R&D.
• Spokesperson Costs: Review the long-term financial impact of the Spokesperson agreement, including the $8.0 million original commitment and the new $3.0 million amendment, and assess the return on investment for these marketing expenditures.
• Customer Concentration: Assess the risk associated with Customer A representing 17% of sales and the top two customers holding 50% of receivables.
• Stock-Based Compensation: Monitor future quarters for the normalization of stock-based compensation expenses, which spiked in Q1 2026 due to IPO-related accelerations ($2.6 million for Spokesperson options, $2.2 million for SAR settlements).
• Debt Covenants: Confirm ongoing compliance with the minimum cash balance covenant ($4.0 million) under the new credit facility, though currently well-covered.
