Q2 revenue declined 17% year-over-year, driven by MEATER softness and lower average selling prices, but gross margin improved and Adjusted EBITDA rose to $17 million. Full-year revenue guidance was lowered, though profitability guidance was maintained, supported by Project Gravity cost actions and a major new Lowe's partnership.

The meeting was held virtually, with board members and auditors introduced. Both proposals—director elections and auditor ratification—were approved, and no questions were submitted by stockholders.

Fiscal Year 2025
-
Revenue and adjusted EBITDA for 2025 exceeded guidance, driven by strong brand engagement and cost savings from Project Gravity. 2026 is positioned as a transition year with lower revenue due to strategic exits and inventory normalization, but profitability and cash flow are expected to remain solid.
-

Second quarter revenues declined 14% year-over-year, with grill sales down and consumables up.

Fiscal 2025 guidance anticipates lower revenue and EBITDA.
-
Q1 revenue declined 1% year-over-year, with grill sales up 13% but accessories down 27% due to MEATER. Significant tariff headwinds prompted mitigation strategies and the suspension of 2025 guidance, while liquidity and cost controls remain a priority.
Fiscal Year 2024

Q4 2024 saw 3% revenue growth, strong grill and consumables sales, and 41% higher adjusted EBITDA, with full-year gross margin up 540 bps. 2025 guidance anticipates flat to modest revenue growth, margin stability, and continued pressure on accessories due to MEATER, while tariff and macro uncertainties persist.
-
Q3 saw 4% revenue growth and a 32% surge in grills, with gross margin up 440 bps and adjusted EBITDA more than doubling. Full-year guidance was raised for both revenue and EBITDA, while accessories lagged due to MEATER. The grill category is stabilizing, with recovery expected in 2025.
