• Company is pivoting toward higher‑margin CPG and ready‑to‑drink (RTD) products, announcing an RTD manufacturing initiative at its Midwest facility with Tetra Tech to capture a large, fast‑growing market opportunity.
• Q4 showed a $1.2 million gross loss and full‑year revenue declined to $12.8M (from $13.9M) as management absorbed elevated onboarding costs and exited low‑margin floral/lettuce lines; SG&A also rose materially due to the Natural Shrimp acquisition and deal‑related costs.
• Management projects improved profitability mix, guiding to a blended company margin in the low‑double digits to mid‑teens long term and forecasting RTD margins in the ~20%–30% range as scale and shelf‑stable products ramp.
• The Midwest RTD buildout is described as “significant” CapEx with a target commercial timeline toward the end of 2027 and potential state/local incentives, but exact costs and timing remain unspecified.
