Overview of Our Business
Our mission is to deliver the greatest sleep ever invented.
We began as a digitally native vertical brand founded on comfort product innovation with premium offerings, and have since expanded into brick & mortar stores as a true omni-channel brand. We offer a variety of innovative, branded and premium comfort products, including mattresses, pillows, cushions, bases, sheets and more. Our products are the result of decades of innovation and investment in proprietary and patented comfort technologies and the development of our own manufacturing processes. Our proprietary Hyper-Elastic Polymer gel technology underpins many of our comfort products and provides a range of benefits that differentiate our products from our competitors. Specially engineered to relieve pressure, maintain an ideal body temperature, and provide instantly adaptive support, Purple’s patented technology has been tested rigorously within medical and consumer applications for over 30 years. Originally designed for use in hospital beds and wheelchairs, we adapted this unique pressure-relieving material for our mattresses, pillows and other cushion products.
We market and sell our products via our direct-to-consumer channel, which includes Purple.com (our direct-to-consumer e-commerce), Purple showrooms, our customer contact center and online marketplaces (collectively “DTC”), and our wholesale channel through retail brick-and-mortar and online wholesale partners.
Organization
Our business consists of Purple Inc. and its consolidated subsidiary, Purple LLC. As the sole managing member of Purple LLC, Purple Inc., through its officers and directors, is responsible for all operational and administrative decision making and control of the day-to-day business affairs of Purple LLC without the approval of any other member. At June 30, 2026, Purple Inc. had a 99.85% economic ownership interest in Purple LLC while Class B unit holders had the remaining 0.15%.
Recent Developments in Our Business
Operational Developments
We continue building on the progress we made in the past year and remain focused on where we believe we can make the most impact. The demand environment remained challenging in the second quarter of 2026, and we made progress in our showroom and E-commerce channels. Our showroom business was up 16.6% compared to last year. This was driven by improving traffic, stronger conversion and strength in our premium products. E-commerce was down slightly by 1.4% compared to last year, but we are moving in the right direction as we have had three consecutive quarters of sequential improvement. We are improving our management of the channel and the work we are doing across marketing and the website experience is contributing to that progress. Our performance in the wholesale channel remained challenged as revenues were down 19.1% compared to last year. This decrease is due to certain payments to customers and a manufacturer under common control with a customer which represent consideration paid to a customer and are recorded as a reduction of revenue. In addition, we experienced lower wholesale sales volumes related to lower industry demand. Operationally, we continue to see the benefits of previous actions taken in areas we can control, reflected in our improved profitability and cash generation, disciplined expense performance and inventory management. We continue to invest in innovation, advertising and consumer experience. Although the demand environment remains uncertain, we believe that we are operating from a stronger foundation. We expect to benefit from continued operational improvements, additional sourcing initiatives and the continued development of our premium product line.

Impact of Revenue Presentation for Certain Product Arrangements
Revenue for certain product arrangements is presented differently depending on the nature of the underlying manufacturing relationships and the application of ASC 606— Revenue from Contracts with Customers . Under the guidance, payments to third-party manufacturers, including manufacturers under common control with certain customers, are evaluated to determine whether they are economically linked to an underlying customer arrangement. For certain customer-specific or exclusive product programs where the manufacturer is under common control with the customer, the we have concluded that payments to the manufacturer are economically linked to the customer relationship and therefore represent consideration payable to a customer. As a result, these payments are recorded as a reduction of revenue, and revenue is presented on a net basis. We recorded $0.5 million and $5.4 million in consideration paid as a reduction of revenue in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. This presentation results in reported revenue being lower than the gross amount billed to the customer. While the net presentation affects reported revenue, it does not impact gross profit dollars for these arrangements. The distinction reflects the application of GAAP to different fact patterns rather than a difference in the underlying economics of the transactions.
Debt Financings
On March 24, 2026, the Loan Parties entered into the Third Amendment with the Lenders, which revised the maturity date under the Amended A&R Credit Agreement from December 31, 2026, to April 30, 2027 and waived certain requirements and events of default relating to the going concern qualification in our December 31, 2025 financial statements. In connection with the Third Amendment, the Loan Parties agreed to pay to the Lenders an amendment fee in the aggregate amount of $1.6 million, equal to 1.25% pro rata based on each Lender’s outstanding principal amount (the “Amendment Fee”). Of the Amendment Fee, approximately $1.3 million was paid-in-kind by adding such amount to the 2025 Lenders’ outstanding principal amount. The remaining $0.3 million of the Amendment Fee was paid in cash to the other lenders. In connection with the Third Amendment, the Loan Parties also agreed to reimburse the 2025 Lenders for certain expenses in the amount of $0.3 million.
Reclassification of Merchant and Financing Fees
In the second quarter of 2026, we changed the presentation of costs associated with merchant credit card processing fees and third-party consumer financing fees. These costs were previously presented within cost of revenues and are now presented within marketing and sales. We believe this presentation will enhance the comparability of our financial statements with those of our industry peers.
The tables below present the effect of the reclassification on our previously issued financial statements. This change in presentation had no impact on previously reported revenues, operating loss, net loss, or earnings per share. Additionally, the reclassifications did not impact the historical balance sheets or statement of cash flows.

Review of Strategic Alternatives
We have engaged with multiple parties about a broad range of opportunities to maximize shareholder value, including, but not limited to, a merger, sale or other strategic or financial transaction. The Board has formed a special committee of independent directors and we have engaged a financial advisor to support them in evaluating a range of options and exploring other potential strategic alternatives. If we are unsuccessful in engaging in a favorable strategic alternative, then our ability to grow our business and compete with larger, including combined, competitors may be adversely affected.
Impact of United States Tariff Policy
We continue to actively manage the impact of recent United States tariff policies. Importantly, all of our mattresses are manufactured in the United States, and about 15% of our cost of goods is tied to products sourced from overseas. This limited exposure is primarily concentrated in the textile side of the business, which includes sheets and mattress covers, but also includes the import of bases and foundations. Tariffs impacted us by approximately $0.9 million and $1.8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, due to our mitigation efforts which have reduced the overall impact to our initial expectations. The tariff landscape remains fluid, and we are actively evaluating sourcing alternatives and pricing strategies on a case-by-case basis. We believe that our vertically integrated model and strong vendor relationships give us the flexibility to remain agile and responsive to changes in tariff policies, and we believe that we will be able to partially mitigate these impacts through a combination of supply chain repositioning, vendor collaborations, and selective pricing actions. On March 6, 2026, we filed a lawsuit in the U.S. Court of International Trade against the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”), the CBP commissioner, and the United States of America seeking a full refund of the tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act that the Company has paid to the United States. During the second quarter of 2026, we received $5.5 million in tariff refunds plus interest (See Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Refund of Tariffs).
Pricing Actions
In the latter part of the second quarter of 2026, we announced a pricing action to increase the sales price of our products across all products to offset the impact of materials and logistics inflation related to the rise of fuel prices and to maintain gross margins. We expect all price increases will be effective with all customers during the third quarter of 2026.
Reverse Stock Split
On July 2, 2026, our stockholders approved a reverse stock split of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock (collectively, the “common stock”) at a ratio ranging from any whole number between 1-for-10 to 1-for-30, with the exact ratio determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. On July 6, 2026, the Board of Directors approved a 1-for-25 reverse stock split (“Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s common stock that became effective on July 19, 2026. Following the effect of the Reverse Stock Split, every 25 shares of the Company’s common stock that were issued and outstanding automatically converted into one outstanding share of common stock. All stock awards and warrants of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split were proportionally adjusted.
The Reverse Stock Split did not change the Company’s authorized number of shares of common stock. The Reverse Stock Split did not change the par value of the common stock and, therefore the Company reclassified an amount equal to the reduction in the number of shares of common stock at par value to additional paid-in capital. No fractional shares of common stock were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, any fractional share that would otherwise result from the Reverse Stock Split will be rounded up to the next whole share of common stock. Proportionate adjustments were made to the number of shares authorized under the Company’s equity incentive plans, the number of shares subject to any award or purchase right under the Company’s equity incentive plans, and the exercise price or purchase price with respect to any stock award or warrant.
Executive Summary – Results of Operations
Net revenues decreased $6.8 million, or 6.5%, to $98.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $105.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in revenue was primarily driven by an $8.8 million or 19.1% decrease in our wholesale revenue due to an increase of $5.3 million in certain payments to customers and a manufacturer under common control with a customer. These payments represent consideration paid to a customer and are recorded as a reduction of revenue. In addition, we had a $3.5 million decrease in wholesale sales volume related to lower industry demand. E-commerce net revenues also decreased $0.6 million, or 1.4%. While down against the prior year’s period, E-commerce net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2026 represented the third quarter of sequential improvement. These decreases were partially offset by a $2.6 million or 16.6% increase in showroom net revenues which continues to outperform the mattress industry.
Gross profit increased $1.9 million, or 4.5%, to $44.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $42.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Our gross profit increased due to the $5.3 million benefit from tariff refunds, partially offset by lower sales. Our gross profit percentage increased to 45.2% of net revenues in the second quarter of 2026 from 40.5% in the second quarter of 2025 primarily due to the tariff refund.
31
Operating expenses decreased $8.1 million, or 14.3% to $48.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $56.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This decrease was driven by a $4.1 million decrease in restructuring related costs from last year, a $4.0 million decrease in employee related expenses and $2.1 million decrease in professional services and all other operating expenses, partially offset by a $2.1 million increase in advertising spending.
Total other income (expense), net was $1.0 million net other income for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $3.1 million net other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The other income, net for the three months ended June 30, 2026 consists of $7.4 million gain from the change in the fair value of warrants, $1.4 million in other income, partially offset by $7.8 million in interest expense. The other expense, net in the three months ended June 30, 2025 consists of interest expense of $7.5 million, partially offset by $4.4 million in other income due to the gain on the change in the fair value of warrants.
Net loss attributable to Purple Inc. was $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to a net loss of $17.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The $14.1 million decrease in net loss was primarily due to higher margins, reduced operating expenses and the increase in gain from change in fair value of the warrants.
Outlook for Growth
The way we think about the business today is fundamentally different than a year ago. Last year was about reshaping the business for a tougher market – right sizing our cost structure, strengthening the foundation and restoring profitability. Now, we are focused on growth with our strategic focus areas that build on what is already working and how we are running our business. We believe we are well positioned to grow our business given our new grid innovation, evolved messaging strategy, our new cost structure and other cost saving initiatives. Our Path to Premium Sleep strategy remains focused on the following three priorities to drive growth:
● Knowing Our Consumer. Knowing our consumer continues to shape how we show up across all channels. We remain focused on helping people understand why the Gelflex Grid is different, why it matters to sleep quality and which Purple product is right for them. We have shifted our marketing approach to place greater emphasis on brand building and consumer education outside of key holiday periods, while continuing to use targeting conversion marketing as consumers move closer to purchase. We believe that we have strong consumer awareness and an opportunity to turn that awareness into stronger purchase consideration. That means making the benefits of the GelFlex Grid easier to understand before consumers are ready to buy and making it simpler to choose the right Purple product when they enter the purchase process. This effort applies across the full consumer journey, from our showrooms and website to our wholesale partners, with the same objectives everywhere – to clearly answer, why Purple and which Purple mattress?
● Delivering Better Sleep. During the second quarter, our premium products continued to perform well, with Rejuvenate remaining the strongest-performing collections, particularly in our showroom channel. Within our showroom business, Rejuvenate 2.0 continues to account for over 50% of total mattress revenue, underscoring the strength of our premium positioning and consumers’ willingness to invest in better sleep products. Beyond mattresses, our pillow business continued to deliver strong results, reinforcing the broader appeal of the Purple brand and providing additional opportunities to introduce new consumers to our GelFlex Grid technology. While the overall mattress category remained under pressure, we continue to believe our premium innovation positions us well for long-term growth. Beyond the product itself, we are continuing to invest in the customer experience across every touchpoint. Our showrooms are the clearest proof point for our product. When consumers experience the GelFlex Grid in person and our teams can explain the difference, we see better conversion and a stronger premium mix. That was evident again in the second quarter, with showroom sales up compared to the prior year. Expanding and strengthening our distribution network remains an important component of our long-term growth strategy. Our owned retail footprint expanded during the quarter with the opening of one new showroom and the relocation of another, both of which are performing well. As we expand our showrooms, we continue to deepen our presence with key wholesale partners. The rollout of Purple Royale at Mattress Firm was completed during the second quarter. Costco continued to perform well during the second quarter and remains one of our strongest wholesale relationships. Volume was well ahead of last year, and we continue to see meaningful opportunity with them. Amazon also had another strong quarter, delivering double-digit growth as we further optimized our product assortment and fulfillment strategy.
● Executing with Financial Discipline. Over the past year, we have taken meaningful steps to improve the efficiency of our business. Those efforts continue to support improved profitability. During the second quarter of 2026, we delivered higher gross margin and profitability above last year despite lower sales. We took pricing actions in June to help offset commodity and logistics inflation and preserve gross margins. We are making continued progress in our underlying cost structure, particularly across sourcing, operations, and fulfillment, supported by ongoing productivity initiatives and supply chain optimization efforts. Our sourcing teams continue to identify additional opportunities to improve costs through supplier diversification and operational efficiencies.
There is no guarantee that we will be able to effectively execute on these initiatives, which are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict, including the risks described in the “Risk Factors” section of this Quarterly Report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2026 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on April 28, 2026. Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those described above. In addition, we may, in the future, adapt these focuses in response to changes in the market or our business.

Revenues, Net
Net revenues decreased $6.8 million, or 6.5%, to $98.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $105.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in revenue was primarily driven by an $8.8 million or 19.1% decrease in our wholesale revenue due to an increase of $5.3 million in certain payments to customers and a manufacturer under common control with a customer. These payments represent consideration paid to a customer and are recorded as a reduction of revenue. In addition, we had a $3.5 million decrease in wholesale sales volume related to lower industry demand. E-commerce net revenues also decreased $0.6 million, or 1.4%. While down against the prior year’s period, E-commerce net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2026 represented the third quarter of sequential improvement. These decreases were partially offset by a $2.6 million or 16.6% increase in showroom net revenues which continues to outperform the mattress industry.
33
Total Cost of Revenues
Total cost of revenues decreased $8.7 million, or 14.0%, to $53.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $62.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026. This decrease was due primarily to a $5.3 million benefit from our tariff rebates that we received during the quarter, $2.3 million in lower tariff payments and $1.1 million reduction in other costs. Our gross profit percentage increased to 45.2% of net revenues in the second quarter of 2026 from 40.5% in the second quarter of 2025, due mainly to the tariff refund.
Marketing and Sales
Marketing and sales expense decreased $1.7 million, or 4.8%, to $33.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $35.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This decrease primarily consisted of a $2.3 million decrease in various marketing activities and professional services, a $1.2 million decrease in employee-related expenses due to headcount reductions and $0.3 million decrease in all other marketing and sales expenses, partially offset by a $2.1 million increase in advertising spending.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expense decreased $2.5 million, or 17.0%, to $12.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $15.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This decrease was due to a $2.7 million decrease in employee related costs due to headcount reductions and $0.5 million reduction in strategic alternative costs, partially offset by a $0.7 million increase in all other general and administrative costs.
Research and Development
Research and development expense increased $0.3 million, or 14.1%, to $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase is due to an increase in professional service expenses.
Restructuring, Impairment and Other Related Charges
There were no restructuring, impairment and other related charges for the three months ended June 30, 2026 as all restructuring activities were completed in 2025. We incurred $4.1 million of restructuring, impairment and other related charges during the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Operating Loss
Operating loss decreased $9.9 million, or 70.1%, to $4.3 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $14.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This decrease in our operating loss is the result of a higher gross profit percent, lower operating expenses and no restructuring costs in 2026.
Interest Expense
Interest expense totaled $7.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $7.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was primarily due to additional interest incurred on a higher principal balance on the Related Party Loan as the Company elected the paid-in-kind option on monthly interest over the past 12 months along with additional debt issuance costs to amortize over the life of the loan.
34
Other Income, Net
Other income was $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to a de minimis amount for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was mainly due to $1.2 million received for sublease rent payments on facilities we are no longer using and have subleased to other parties.
Change in Fair Value – Warrant Liabilities
Our warrants contain certain provisions that did not meet the criteria for equity classification and therefore are recorded as liabilities with a re-measurement of fair value at each reporting date. We incurred a $7.4 million gain on the change in fair value of our warrant liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2026 related to the decrease in fair value from the previous reporting date, due mainly to the reduction in stock price. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized a $4.4 million gain related to the decrease in fair value of the warrant liability during that period.
Income Tax (Expense) Benefit
We had a de minimis income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. The income tax expense amounts in both the second quarter of 2026 and 2025 were related to various state taxes.
Noncontrolling Interest
We calculate net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests on a quarterly basis using their weighted average ownership percentage. Net loss attributed to noncontrolling interests was negligible for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
Operating Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2026, and 2025

Revenues, Net
Net revenues decreased $15.3 million, or 7.3%, to $194.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $209.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This decrease was primarily driven by a $13.3 million or 15.3% decrease in our wholesale revenue due to an increase of $11.1 million in certain payments to customers and a manufacturer under common control with a customer. These payments represent consideration paid to a customer and are recorded as a reduction of revenue. In addition, we had a $2.2 million decrease in wholesale sales volume related to lower industry demand. E-commerce net revenues decreased $5.4 million, or 6.1% and showroom net revenues increased $3.5 million, or 10.3%.
Total Cost of Revenues
Total cost of revenues decreased $11.7 million, or 9.7%, to $109.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $121.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This decrease was due primarily to a $5.3 million credit for tariff refunds we received in the second quarter, costs of $5.4 million to a manufacturer under common control that were booked against revenues, $3.0 million in lower tariff payments and a $1.0 million reduction in restructuring costs as the plan ended in 2025. These costs were offset by a $3.0 million increase in material and other costs, primarily logistics due to higher fuel costs and reduced driver supply. Our gross profit percentage increased to 43.6% for the first six months in 2026 from 42.1% in the first six months of 2025.
Marketing and Sales
Marketing and sales expense decreased $6.4 million, or 8.3%, to $70.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $76.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This decrease is due to a decrease of $2.6 million for payroll related costs, a decrease of $1.2 million in advertising spending, and a decrease of $2.6 million in all other marketing expenses.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expense increased $1.0 million, or 3.4%, to $30.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $29.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was primarily due to $3.8 million increase in strategic alternative costs, increase in facilities and other expenses of $1.3 million, partially offset by a $4.1 million decrease in employee related expenses due to headcount reductions.
Research and Development
Research and development expense increased $0.3 million, or 6.5%, to $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This increase is due to an increase in professional services during the period.
Restructuring, Impairment and Other Related Charges
There were no restructuring, impairment and other related charges for the six months ended June 30, 2026 as all restructuring activities were completed in 2025. We incurred $6.1 million of restructuring, impairment and other related charges during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
36
Operating Loss
Operating loss decreased $7.6 million, or 26.5%, to $21.1 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $28.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This decrease in our operating loss is the result of the reduced marketing and sales expenses and no restructuring and impairment charges in 2026, partially offset by reduced gross profit due to lower revenues and increases in other operating expenses.
Interest Expense
Interest expense totaled $16.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $12.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was primarily due to additional interest incurred on a higher principal balance on the Related Party Loan as the Company elected the paid-in-kind option on monthly interest over the past 12 months.
Change in Fair Value – Warrant Liabilities
Our warrants contain certain provisions that did not meet the criteria for equity classification and therefore are recorded as liabilities with a re-measurement of fair value at each reporting date. We incurred a $0.4 million gain on the change in the fair value of our warrant liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2026. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized a $4.4 million gain related to the decrease in fair value of the warrant liability during that period.
Income Tax (Expense) Benefit
We had a $0.1 million income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $0.1 million income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The income tax expense amounts in the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were related to various state taxes.
Noncontrolling Interest
We calculate net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests on a quarterly basis using the weighted average ownership percentage. Net loss attributed to noncontrolling interests was de minimis for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our historical principal sources of funds are cash flows from operations and cash and cash equivalents on hand, supplemented with borrowings made pursuant to various loan agreements. Principal uses of funds consist of capital expenditures, working capital needs, operating lease payment obligations and investing in innovation. In accordance with the terms of our various loan agreements, we have elected to pay interest in kind on our loans to reduce cash obligations. Our working capital needs depend largely upon the timing of cash receipts from product sales, payments to vendors and others, changes in inventories, and operating lease payment obligations. Our cash and cash equivalents and working capital positions were $23.3 million and $(105.2) million, respectively, as of June 30, 2026 compared to $24.3 million and $35.2 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2025. The change in working capital position at June 30, 2026 is due to our debt maturity date now within the next 12 months. We had an accumulated deficit of $659.1 million at June 30, 2026. We incurred a net loss of $33.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, with net cash provided by operating activities of $3.6 million. Cash used for capital expenditures was $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. Our capital expenditures in 2026 have primarily consisted of additional investments made in our manufacturing operations and showroom facilities. Additional details regarding our current debt are described above in Note 10 - Debt .

We have a history of recurring net losses and cash used in operations, an accumulated deficit, and requiring additional capital to fund our operations, invest in the business to expand sales and marketing efforts and invest in innovation. Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. In connection with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, we conducted an evaluation as to whether there were conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, which raised substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date of the issuance of such financial statements.
Debt service has consisted primarily of re-financing or extending the maturity date of the debt as well as paying-in-kind interest payments. As disclosed in Note 10 - Debt, the Company has elected to have interest paid-in-kind and added to the principal amount of the loans under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and on March 24, 2026, the Company executed the Third Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) with the Lenders to extend the maturity date of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement from December 31, 2026 to April 30, 2027. In addition, certain requirements and events of default relating to the going concern qualification in our December 31, 2025 financial statements were waived (see Note 10 – Debt ). Management has implemented plans to both increase its revenues from the sales of its products and to achieve cost savings within the next year, sufficient to generate positive operating cash flow levels. However, the Company cannot guarantee that it will have sufficient cash flow to meet the debt obligations when they become due within the next twelve months. The Company will need to raise additional capital or secure alternative financing arrangements, both of which are uncertain and not within the control of the Company. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company has taken a number of actions to increase cash flow and support its operations and strategies. In August 2024, the Company implemented the Restructuring Plan to consolidate manufacturing operations resulting in cost savings. The Company has realized and plans to continue to realize direct material cost savings by concentrating efforts on driving gross margin improvement through various methods such as pricing actions, continued mix shift towards the Restore and Rejuvenate collections, and by driving cost savings through supply chain initiatives and manufacturing efficiency. The Company has delivered direct material cost savings from its supplier diversification efforts, improved scrap and yield results from continuous improvements, and outbound freight costs reflect cost improvements along with improved delivery reliability. The Company has been successful in subleasing the two manufacturing facilities that were vacated as part of the Restructuring Plan. The Company has also taken additional cost-saving initiatives in 2025 and the beginning of 2026 to reduce headcount and streamline responsibilities and reporting structure. Further, management’s plans include additional actions intended to improve liquidity and reduce costs, including a planned optimization of advertising spending, pacing the number of new store openings, efforts to mitigate tariff impacts by managing the country of origin, and other cost-saving initiatives. In the latter part of the second quarter of 2026, the Company announced a pricing action to increase the sales price of our various products to offset the impact of materials and logistics inflation related to the rise of fuel prices and to maintain gross margins. The Company is currently evaluating potential strategic alternatives and opportunities to achieve additional liquidity through one or more future debt refinancings.
Other Contractual Obligations
Other material contractual obligations primarily include operating lease payment obligations. See Note 8 - Leases of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on leases.
