Barfresh Food Group Inc

Barfresh Food Group reported second-quarter revenue of $4.7 million, up 190% year-over-year, but slashed its full-year 2026 guidance due to slower-than-expected manufacturing efficiency at its Arps facility. Gross margin fell to negative 3.2% from 31.1% a year earlier, and adjusted EBITDA loss widened to $1.2 million from $600,000. The company reduced 2026 revenue guidance to $23 million to $26 million from $28 million to $32 million, and adjusted EBITDA guidance to a loss of $1 million to $2 million from positive $3.2 million to $3.8 million. Management attributed most of the EBITDA revision to higher Arps processing costs, loss of the ice cream mix business, higher material costs, and delayed legacy Barfresh revenue recovery. Education channel recovery remains intact, with new district wins and returning customers expected to support stronger growth in the 2026-27 school year, while the 44,000-square-foot Defiance facility is targeted for partial commissioning by year-end 2026.
