  • Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities There were no sales of unregistered equity securities during the year ended December 31, 2025.
  • We primarily operate an online direct-to-consumer website and mobile application (“DTC platform”) where we both sell our Grove Brands and other leading natural and mission-based CPG brands, providing consumers with a selection of curated products across many categories and brands.
  • We refer to this part of our business as “DTC.” In the fourth quarter of 2024, we made the decision to exit the business of selling Grove Co. products in brick and mortar retail channels and completed this exit in 2025.
  • We expect our exit from brick-and-mortar retail to improve our profitability while having an insignificant impact on our revenue.
  • Since inception, we have invested heavily in building out both our ecommerce platform and Grove Brands, and over this period we have operated at a loss.
  • We have an accumulated deficit of $660.2 million as of December 31, 2025.

  • In recent years, we have substantially reduced our expense structure and operations in light of declining revenue, and as a result we have reduced our operating losses and cash consumption.
  • Ability to Successfully Transition our ecommerce platform In March 2025, we began migrating our ecommerce platform from our legacy internally-developed solution to third party service providers that offer ecommerce solutions.
  • We have completed the migration and are in the process of resolving issues identified after the migration while simultaneously working towards optimizing the customer experience.
  • We expect this migration to provide us with significant advantages, such as enhanced scalability, access to advanced ecommerce functionalities, and improved security measures.
  • To date, we have experienced and expect to continue experiencing disruptions to platform operations, including user experience, inventory management, fulfillment operations and payment processing, which has adversely affected our operating results and financial condition .
  • This transition away from our legacy platform exposes us to vendor-specific risks, such as service disruptions, changes in pricing and inventory management, potential reduced flexibility in our ecommerce experience or alterations in the platform's features and execution and fulfillment risks as we migrate our customer experience to the new platform.
  • Our ability to realize the expected benefits of this transition is substantially dependent upon our ability to address these issues.
  • The following table presents our key operating metrics for the periods presented: (in thousands, except DTC Net Revenue Per Order) Year Ended December 31, 2025 2024 Financial and Operating Data DTC Total Orders 2,420 2,930 DTC Active Customers 599 688 DTC Net Revenue Per Order $ 67 $ 67 DTC Total Orders We determine our number of DTC Total Orders by counting the number of customer orders submitted through our website and mobile application that have been shipped within the period.

  • Additionally, DTC Total Orders was negatively impacted by technology disruptions to our DTC platform.

  • DTC Net Revenue Per Order had a slight improvement in the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the prior year comparative period due to improved promotional strategies, as well as an increase in higher priced items in customer orders.

  • (2) Transaction related costs are costs and expenses primarily associated with the acquisitions of Grab Green and 8Greens.

  • Product Development Product development expenses are related to the ongoing support and maintenance of our DTC platform, as well as amortization of capitalized, internally developed software and the product and packaging innovation in our Grove Brands products.
  • Selling, general and administrative expenses have declined in 2025 as a result of decreases in fulfillment costs largely driven by lower sales and our cost management initiatives.
  • In November 2025, we executed a reduction in force as part of an initiative to streamline selling, general, and administrative expenses, which is expected to lower our ongoing cost structure and deliver savings.

  • We refer to this part of our business as “DTC.” We recently made the decision to exit the business of selling Grove Co. products in brick and mortar retail channels.
  • We expect our exit from brick-and-mortar retail to improve our profitability while having an insignificant impact on our revenue, and to be completed in 2025.

  • The research, development, testing and improvement of our products has been led by our research and development team, which includes experienced chemists and formulators, who work closely with our sustainability team.
  • These new and innovative products, as well as our focus on environmentally responsible packaging, have been key drivers of our value proposition to date.
  • An important element of our product development strategy is our ability to engage directly with customers through our DTC platform to assess demand and market preferences.
  • As a result of our cost reductions in recent periods, we have substantially reduced our investment in product innovation.
