Third quarter net sales increased 35% year-over-year to $89 million
Updating 2026 net sales and adjusted EBITDA outlook
Once Upon a Farm, PBC (NYSE: OFRM) (or the “Company”), a leading high-growth company driving systemic improvement in childhood nutrition, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026.
Third Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights Compared to Prior Year Period
- Net sales increased 34.9% to $89.1 million
- Gross margin of 36.1% compared to 42.1%
- Net loss of $3.8 million compared to a net loss of $11.3 million
- Adjusted EBITDA1 loss of $1.0 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $0.9 million
“Third quarter results demonstrated our ability to increase brand awareness and household penetration, deepen and expand retail reach, and deliver value added innovation,” said John Foraker, CEO and co-founder of Once Upon a Farm. “As more families consume our products in greater frequency, alongside disciplined investment and execution, we are on course to build the first truly baby through kid brand, with meaningful operating leverage and structurally higher margins as we scale.”
“As I reflect on the past two weeks, my conviction in Once Upon a Farm's long-term opportunity has not changed. We are building one of the most compelling, durable growth platforms in food with increasing household penetration, strong consumer loyalty, attractive retail productivity, and significant opportunities to expand our reach in new categories relevant to our consumers. We have also demonstrated something equally important: when faced with a difficult decision, our organization can and will act quickly, decisively, and in the best interests of our consumers. We are committed to resolving the Tractor Wheels situation correctly, continuing to earn the trust of families and retailers, and executing against the significant growth opportunity ahead of us. I remain highly confident in the future of Once Upon a Farm.”
Third Quarter 2026 Results
Net sales increased $23.1 million, or 34.9%, to $89.1 million for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $66.0 million in the prior year period. The increase in net sales was driven by volume growth of 32%, with favorable mix contributing to the balance.
Gross profit was $32.2 million, or 36.1% of net sales, for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $27.8 million, or 42.1% of net sales, in the prior year period. The 600 basis points decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net sales was driven by trade investment in support of a national club program, product mix, and cooler placement costs, partially offset by pricing and favorable customer mix.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $36.8 million for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $28.8 million for the prior year period, due to continued investment in marketing, people, and public-company capabilities. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased by 230 basis points to 41.3% in the third quarter of 2026 compared to 43.7% in the prior year period, on revenue leverage.
Net loss was $3.8 million for the third quarter of 2026 compared to a net loss of $11.3 million in the prior year period. The decrease in net loss primarily reflects the elimination of the non-cash change in fair value of a derivative liability compared to the prior year period.
Adjusted EBITDA1 loss was $1.0 million for the third quarter of 2026 compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $0.9 million in the prior year period. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was due to lower gross margin, partially offset by SG&A leverage.
Balance Sheet
As of September 30, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $106.4 million and no debt, compared to $10.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and total debt of $60.2 million as of December 31, 2025. The increase in net cash and decrease in total debt reflect the application of proceeds from the Company’s IPO in February 2026.
Full Year 2026 Outlook
The Company is updating its outlook for full year 2026 to reflect the impact of the voluntary recall of the Tractor Wheels product lines on Q4. The Company now expects:
- Net sales of $290 million to $300 million, from $327 million to $335 million prior
- Adjusted EBITDA1 loss of $4.5 million to $7 million, from Adjusted EBITDA of $3 million to $4.5 million prior
Outlook is based on information as of today, November 12, 2026, and may be impacted by factors outside the Company’s control. See “Forward-Looking Statements” below.
The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation for forward-looking outlook of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most closely comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable effort, because certain material reconciling items, such as depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income, and provision for income tax, cannot be estimated due to factors outside of the Company’s control and could have a material impact on the reported results.
1 Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. See "Non-GAAP Measures" for how the Company defines this measure and the financial tables that accompany this press release for a reconciliation of this measure to the most closely comparable GAAP measure.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA
The Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA as net loss, adjusted to exclude: (1) change in fair value of derivative liability; (2) change in fair value of convertible preferred stock warrant liability; (3) change in fair value of stock appreciation rights ("SARs") liability; (4) stock-based compensation; (5) payroll taxes related to stock-based compensation; (6) depreciation and amortization; (7) amortization of certain payments under the Spokesperson Agreement for services received in connection with our IPO; (8) one-time bonuses related to our IPO; (9) interest expense; (10) interest income; and (11) provision for income taxes. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides meaningful supplemental information regarding its operating performance and facilitates internal comparisons of its historical operating performance on a more consistent basis by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of its business, results of operations, or outlook. In particular, the Company believes that the use of Adjusted EBITDA is helpful to the Company’s investors as it is a measure used by management in assessing the health of its business, determining incentive compensation, and evaluating its operating performance, as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes.
