Where Food Comes From – 2025 Q4 and Full-Year Earnings Summary

Financial Performance

  • Total 2025 revenue was $24.9 million. This represents continued steady growth in non-beef-related services but was held back by declining beef-related verification activity.
  • Net income was $1.5 million, or $0.30 per share.
  • Fourth quarter revenue was negatively affected by the unexpected closure of a key packing plant that had contributed significantly to NHTC Natural and EU export certifications.
  • Executive management returned their 2025 bonus compensation due to this shortfall, which will reduce SG&A expenses in the upcoming Q1 10-Q.

Industry Context

  • U.S. cattle supply is now at a 70‑year low driven by drought and rising production costs.
  • Record beef prices have caused some ranchers to reduce spending on verification programs, affecting both verification revenue and tag sales.
  • Management believes the herd contraction cycle is at or near a bottom, with rebuilding expected over the next few years.

Business Developments & Growth Initiatives

  • RaiseWell Certified Launch:
    • A new standard focused on natural raising practices, animal care, full traceability and no‑antibiotics/no‑hormones requirements.
