Hydrofarm Q3 2025 Earnings Report
Hydrofarm reported a significant year-over-year decline in net sales and profitability in Q3 2025, though cost-saving measures improved cash flow.
Key Takeaways
Hydrofarm Holdings Group's Q3 2025 results showed a 33% drop in sales due to continued industry oversupply, leading to wider net losses. Despite lower manufacturing volumes and reduced gross margins, the company achieved improvements in SG&A efficiencies and free cash flow while pursuing additional restructuring savings.
Net sales fell 33% year over year to $29.4 million amid lower product volumes.
Gross profit margin declined to 11.6%, while adjusted gross profit margin dropped to 18.8%.
Net loss widened to $16.4 million, or $(3.51) per diluted share.
Free cash flow improved by $5.1 million year over year due to better working capital management.
Forward Guidance
Hydrofarm expects its FY2025 adjusted gross profit margin to reach approximately 20%, supported by higher proprietary brand mix and cost savings from restructuring initiatives, though tariff and market pressures remain risks.
Positive Outlook
- Higher proprietary brand sales mix expected in the second half of 2025.
