Lake Oswego, Oregon--(Newsfile Corp. - March 30, 2026) - Functional Brands Inc. (NASDAQ: MEHA), a leading innovator in wellness and performance products, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2025.
Fourth Quarter 2025 highlights
Revenue of $1.50 million compared to $1.68 million in the prior year period, a decrease of approximately 11.0%. This decrease was primarily due to the shift in our Amazon business model from a reseller model to a direct-to-consumer approach through our own Amazon Seller's Central account.
Gross profit was $0.67 million compared to $0.99 million in the prior year period. Gross margin of 44.9% was down 1400 basis points versus the prior year period due to changes in the Amazon business model and inventory adjustments related to our transition out of the hemp business.
Net income of $0.9 million or $0.01 per diluted share compared to a net loss of $0.3 million and $(0.08) per diluted share in the prior year period.
Full Year 2025 highlights
Revenue of $6.61 million compared to $6.57 million in the prior year, an increase of approximately 0.7%, reflecting the inherent stability of the Kirkman business.
Gross profit was $3.48 million compared to $3.61 million in the prior year. Gross margin of 52.7% was down 220 basis points versus the prior year due to inventory adjustments related to our transition out of the hemp business.
Net income of $0.8 million or $0.01 per diluted share compared to a net loss of $0.6 million and $(0.08) per diluted share in the prior year.
"We were pleased to deliver another year of strong bottom-line results as we continue to transform our business model," said Eric Gripentrog, CEO of Functional Brands Inc.
