BranchOut Food Inc. (NASDAQ:BOF) ($3.13; $41.9M market cap) announced Q4 2025 and full year preliminary sales:

Q4 sales of $4.2 million vs. $1.5 million in the prior year
Full-year 2025 sales of $14 million vs. $6.5 million in the prior year
Nearly $2 million order from a new warehouse club customer; potential to scale to $15 million annually. (First order from second largest club warehouse operator in the U.S., which would be Sam’s Club, which is owned by Walmart)
Development program with world’s largest retailer for up to nine SKUs, targeted for 2H 2026 launch; potential $10 million in annual revenue. (This would be Walmart and expands their current relationship)
Launching shelf-stable dehydrated cheesecake using GentleDry™ tech.
Installing fourth REV drying line (operational by March 1, 2026) to support dairy/high-protein product expansion.
Ingredient and bulk channel to generate $5–6 million in 2026, with new $1.8 million CPG customer order expected.
2025 gross margin was 16%, impacted by air freight (8% of COGS) and 5% tariffs; normalized margin estimated at 25%.
Gross margin expected to expand significantly in 2026 from reduced freight, zeroed tariffs, operational efficiency, and high contribution margins ( 50%) from incremental revenue.
Secured $1.5 million working capital loan from Kaufman Capital; $500,000 of convertible note voluntarily converted to equity.
ATM program to raise up to $1.5 million additional working capital to meet demand.

Our Quick Take:

The company has had multiple small ATM vehicles in place since we started covering the stock. While we are not a big fan of ATMs, it’s somewhat comforting that their biggest backer (who we highly respect) outside the ATMs (Kaufman Capital) continues to back the company.

It is also worth noting that the Company is expanding its relationship with the world's largest retailer, Walmart, and that it appears they have secured their first order with the second largest warehouse club customer, Sam’s Club.

Even though gross margins were down significantly, the company expects them to expand significantly in 2026, something we will monitor closely.

Taking this all in conjunction with the fact that the company is expanding its relationship with the nation's largest warehouse club operator, Costco, shows it is building a nice customer portfolio.

Obviously, the key is for the company to reach profitability while dealing with cost pressures on gross margins and potentially some of the nuances that come with having large customers who have been known to be stingy on pricing.

BranchOut Food Inc. produces and sells plant-based dehydrated fruit and vegetable snacks, powders, and ingredients for retail, private label, and industrial customers.

BranchOut Food Inc. (NASDAQ:BOF) ($2.10; $24.7M market cap) announced Q3 2025 results:

Q3 sales of $3.2 million vs. $2.2 million in the prior year
Production milestone: Record output of 38,500 kg in September, establishing a $16M annualized run rate (breakeven production level)
Capacity expansion: Committed to purchasing an additional EnWave REV™ 120kW machine
New product rights: Secured global exclusive rights to produce dragon fruit using EnWave’s REV™ technology
New CMO: Jesse Thomas appointed Chief Marketing Officer; granted 50,000 stock options at $2.09/share

“This has been a transformative quarter,” said Eric Healy, CEO of BranchOut Food. “This year, and this quarter in particular, was defined by extensive scale-up and R&D efforts across our entire product portfolio. Each time we launch a new product, we invest heavily in the scale-up process to ensure quality, consistency, and efficiency. These efforts often extend production timelines and, in many cases, require air shipping to meet strict customer delivery dates.

Our third quarter marks a true turning point. With most of our R&D and scale-up investments now behind us, operations are positioned for greater efficiency and improved cost performance as we continue to scale.”

Healy added: “With a cleaner balance sheet, record output, and rising demand across multiple channels, we’re entering 2026 with the foundation built and the engine ready. The next 12 months will be about accelerating scale, driving profitability, and solidifying BranchOut as the category defining brand in dehydrated snacks.”

Our Quick Take:

BOF was part of our March 2025 MSM Microcap Virtual Conference, you can see that summary here. Today’s update is clearly bullish. It’s nice to see management discuss break-even levels and goals of driving profitability. How quick and to what levels this can occur will be key in driving the multiple expansion.
