Upstart returns to profitability in second quarter
Online lending platform Upstart Holdings became profitable again due to higher loan origination volumes. At the same time, the company has been investing in AI and expanding its consumer credit products. Upstart, an online lending platform that serves over 3 million borrowers, reached $5.6 million in net income this quarter, a 110% improvement from the $54.5 million loss reported this time last year. It's the first time the company has reported positive income since 2022. The lender also reported $257.3 million in revenue, a 101.6% increase from the prior year. "In addition to achieving triple-digit revenue growth, we reached GAAP profitability a quarter sooner than expected," Upstart CEO Dave Girouard said in the company earnings call. Similarly, diluted earnings per share hit $0.05, a 108% increase from the -$0.62 EPS reported in the second quarter of 2024. Driving the strong earnings report was the $2.8 billion of loan originations Upstart brought in, the lender's highest origination volume for a single quarter in three years. Paul Gu, Upstart co-founder and chief technology officer, emphasized the online lender's investment in AI this year and championed it as a factor in the company's growth. "We made strong progress in Q2 generalizing our AI technology across product verticals," Gu said in the earnings call. "Even with accelerating growth in new products, our share of fully automated loans actually kept up this quarter." About 92% of the company's loans are currently fully automated with no human intervention, according to a company earnings presentation. In Upstart's first investor day held in May 2025, which it called "AI Day," the company emphasized to its investors various plans to incorporate AI into employee workflow and consumer products. "One of our key priorities in 2025 is to 10x our leadership in AI," Gu said in the earnings call. "We continue to have a robust pipeline of modeling wins, and I'm incredibly proud of the team and what we've been able to accomplish so far with that." A Jeffries analyst report said that the quarter "showed good patterns on volumes with a rising conversion rate driving $2.8 billion of loan volume, ahead of consensus but modestly short of the 'whisper #' of $3.1 billion." A "whisper number" is an unofficial earnings prediction that can circulate among Wall Street brokers and investors separately from official consensus estimates for a publicly traded company. Upstart increased its revenue outlook for the full fiscal year from $1.01 billion to $1.055 billion, and its net income guidance from a general "positive" prediction to a specific number outlook of $35 million. The lender is also taking a conservative stance on the impacts of macroeconomic conditions on the latter half of the year and "roughly expects the status quo," according to chief financial officer Sanjay Datta. Analysts on the call pushed against this stance with several questions about the lower-than-expected jobs report released last week and the potential of future interest rate cuts, even as Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell is currently holding interest rates steady. "We plan for no real cuts in interest rates in the market," Datta said in response to an analyst question. "There's a lot of speculation around what that might look like for the rest of the year, but we certainly don't bank on anything in that regard." Upstart is also expecting a resilient labor market, according to Datta. "Notwithstanding the noise of the last week or so, we think the labor market continues to be in relatively good shape in terms of how many open jobs there are out there versus how many people are seeking jobs," he said. "That's the totality of the macro assumptions that go into our planning." Jeffries analysts noted that Upstart's third-quarter outlook changes were set above what they had expected. "FY25 guidance was [also] adjusted moderately up, which we believe may fall short of expectations considering momentum," the Jeffries report said. Shares in Upstart fell by 19% in trading on Wednesday. A Citizens analyst report on Upstart's earnings said that the firm would "remain neutral on the stock, as we believe that the valuation already captures a significant degree of the expectations for recovering volumes and margins; the near-record-high conversion rate within a more competitive lending landscape raises the credit risk profile; and we would like greater visibility into stable and permanent funding sources for new products."

Laird Superfood Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results
BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Laird Superfood, Inc. (NYSE American: LSF) ('Laird Superfood,' the 'Company', 'we', and 'our'), today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025. Jason Vieth, Chief Executive Officer, commented, 'I am very proud of our second quarter results and the efforts by our team, which delivered 20% net sales growth year-over-year and approximately 40% gross margin in a challenging consumer and economic environment. Our growth was once again driven by our Wholesale business, which grew year-over-year by nearly 50%, in alignment with our stated strategy to expand our Laird Superfood brand in that channel. Operationally, we continued to prove our agility in managing our supply chain. Even in the face of unprecedented tariff pressures, we were able to deliver gross margin results that are among the best in our industry. Going forward we will continue to invest into the growth of our brand, and are thrilled to once again be among the fastest growing food companies in the public markets.' Second Quarter 2025 Highlights Net Sales of $12.0 million compared to $10.0 million in the corresponding prior year period and $11.7 million in the first quarter of 2025. Wholesale sales increased by 47% year-over-year and contributed 48% of total Net Sales, primarily driven by distribution gains in grocery and club stores, while total trade spend remained nearly flat. E-commerce sales increased by 2% year-over-year and contributed 52% of total Net Sales, driven by continued strong performance on Gross Margin was 39.9% compared to 41.8% in the corresponding prior year period, and 41.9% in the first quarter of 2025. Gross margin compression relative to the prior year period was primarily due to increased promotional trade spend, commodity cost inflation, and channel mix. Net Loss was $0.4 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to Net Loss of $0.2 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, in the corresponding prior year period and Net Loss of $0.2 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2025. The increase in Net Loss relative to the prior year period was driven primarily by higher marketing investment, higher selling costs on top-line sales, and personnel costs related to stock-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, was $0.1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to ($0.1) million, or ($0.01) per diluted share, in the corresponding prior year period and $0.4 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2025. For more details on non-GAAP financial measures, refer to the information in the non-GAAP financial measures section of this press release. Year-to-Date 2025 Highlights Net Sales of $23.6 million compared to $19.9 million in the corresponding prior year period. Wholesale sales increased by 41% year-over-year and contributed 47% of total Net Sales, primarily driven by distribution gains in grocery and club stores, as well as velocity growth, partially offset by increased promotional spend. E-commerce sales increased by 4% year-over-year and contributed 53% of total Net Sales, with significant improvements in media efficiency and strong performance on Gross Margin was relatively flat compared to the corresponding prior year period. Net Loss was $0.5 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to Net Loss of $1.3 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the corresponding prior year period. The improvement was driven by top-line sales growth, partially offset by higher selling costs on increased top line sales and personnel costs related to stock-based compensation. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and non-recurring items ('adjusted EBITDA'), which is a non-GAAP financial measure, was $0.5 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to ($0.8) million, or ($0.08) per diluted share, in the corresponding prior year period. For more details on non-GAAP financial measures, refer to the information in the non-GAAP financial measures section of this press release.

Cash used in operating activities was $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $0.2 million in the same period in 2024. The increase in cash used relative to the corresponding prior year period was driven by strategic investments to bolster our inventory to meet high demand for our products and to address the out-of-stocks experienced at the end of 2024 and in Q1 2025, as well as to forward purchase raw materials to mitigate anticipated tariff costs. We intend to normalize cash usage in the upcoming quarters as we convert inventory into cash. 2025 Outlook Management's strategy is to drive growth well in excess of the consumer goods and food industry averages: Management re-affirms full year Net Sales growth guidance in the range of 20% to 25%, driven by robust performance in our retail outlets and club stores, where consumer demand and velocity remain healthy. Gross Margin is re-affirmed to hold in the upper 30s, despite commodity inflation, tariffs, and other cost pressures. On a GAAP basis, we expect to report a full-year Net Loss. Breakeven adjusted EBITDA. Cash use of approximately $2 million for the full year to bolster inventory to support top line growth. Laird Superfood has not provided a reconciliation between its forecasted adjusted EBITDA and net loss, its most directly comparable GAAP measure, because applicable information for future periods, on which this reconciliation would be based, is not available without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of reliable estimates for stock-based compensation, due to volatility in our stock price, and state and local income taxes, among other items. These items may vary greatly between periods and could significantly impact future financial results. Conference Call and Webcast Details We will host a conference call and webcast at 5:00 p.m. ET today to discuss our financial results. Participants may access the live webcast on the Laird Superfood Investor Relations website at under 'Events'. The webcast will be archived on the Company's website and will be available for replay for at least two weeks.

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: (a) In January 2023, we identified a product quality issue with raw material from one vendor and we voluntarily withdrew any affected finished goods. We previously incurred costs associated with product testing, discounts for replacement orders, and inventory obsolescence costs. We reached settlement with a supplier in the third quarter of 2023 and recorded recoveries in 2024. Expand
