SEC filingRevenue doubled to $5.6M from Arps Dairy acquisition enabling capacity expansion, while gross profit rose 15% to $1.0M despite margin contraction; operating losses narrowed 41% through cost controls, offset by acquisition-related interest driving cash burn to -$3.0M on investments.
Revenue surged 92% to $5.6 million in Q1 FY2026 from $2.9 million prior year, driven by the Arps Dairy acquisition that resolved three-year capacity constraints from discontinued production by manufacturers A and B. This enabled better customer service and sales reach, supplemented by a new co-manufacturer contract for smoothie bottles. The growth underscores how in-house production addresses prior limitations, though it introduced lower-margin products compressing gross margin to 18.3% from prior levels as gross profit rose a more modest 15% to $1.0 million.
Net cash used in operations rose to -$2.4 million from -$506K, driven by working capital outflows likely tied to rapid revenue ramp and co-manufacturer transitions. Capital expenditures jumped to $646K from $28K for New Facility development, yielding free cash flow of -$3.0 million. Prior liquidity bolstered by $3.0 million equity raise in February 2025; outlook includes USDA-guaranteed mortgage and equipment leases if needed. Investors should monitor in-house manufacturing ramp for synergies balancing burn, as capacity gains position Barfresh for sustained demand without prior supply bottlenecks.
