cbdMD Reports 19% Year-over-Year and 12% Sequential Revenue Growth; Bluebird Acquisition Integration and Medicare BEI Pathway Position Company for Continued MomentumMay 14, 2026 4:10 PM
PR Newswire (US) CHARLOTTE, N.C. , May 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- cbdMD, Inc. (NYSE American: YCBD), one of the nation's leading and most trusted CBD companies and operator of the cbdMD, Bluebird Botanicals, and Paw CBD brands, along with its THC beverage brand Oasis, today announced financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, ended March 31, 2026. The Company delivered 19% year-over-year and 12% sequential revenue growth, reflecting continued momentum in the core business and the contribution of newly acquired Bluebird Botanicals. Quarterly revenue, excluding revenue associated with the Bluebird acquisition, was the highest since our first fiscal quarter ending December 2023."This was a quarter of meaningful execution on multiple fronts," said Ronan Kennedy, CEO and CFO of cbdMD. "Our core business delivered another quarter of consistent growth, we successfully completed and integrated our first acquisition in years. The Bluebird Botanicals acquisition is a case study for what we can do — leveraging our infrastructure, marketing engine, and NYSE American listing to unlock value in a fragmented industry — and it sets the template for additional roll-up opportunities across hemp and adjacent health and wellness categories.""At the same time, the regulatory backdrop has shifted more in the last few months than in any period I can recall," Kennedy continued. "Multiple bipartisan legislative proposals are advancing, cannabis has been partially rescheduled, and CMS has opened the first federal Medicare pathway for hemp-derived CBD through the BEI program. We have been preparing for this moment for years. The launch of our clinical healthcare channel, our active engagement with ACOs, and our continued investment in patient science position cbdMD to participate meaningfully as adoption develops. We believe that as regulatory clarity continues to emerge, well-capitalized, compliance-focused operators with proven quality, safety data, and clinical credibility will be the ones that benefit — and that is precisely where cbdMD stands."Highlights for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2026 and Notable Business UpdatesBluebird Botanicals integration on track. In mid-January 2026, cbdMD completed the strategic acquisition of Bluebird Botanicals, a long-standing and respected CBD brand. While acquisition and transition costs created an earnings drag during the quarter, Bluebird began generating positive income in March. Early third-quarter revenue is growing, and management expects the brand to contribute meaningfully to both top-line growth and earnings as additional products roll out and integration efficiencies are realized.CMS BEI Medicare pathway activated. Subsequent to quarter-end, on April 1, 2026, CMS, through the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation, activated the BEI for eligible participants in select Innovation Center models, including the ACO REACH Model and the Enhancing Oncology Model. The optional BEI allows approved participants, subject to CMS requirements, safeguards, and physician oversight, to furnish eligible hemp-derived products to beneficiaries at up to $500 annually per eligible beneficiary. Eligible products include non-intoxicating full-spectrum hemp-derived CBD products containing up to 3 milligrams of naturally occurring THC per serving. The FDA has issued a limited enforcement-discretion letter providing additional regulatory clarity for eligible ingestible CBD products furnished through the BEI.cbdMD positioned as an evidence-based supplier of choice. cbdMD has launched a dedicated clinical healthcare channel to support the BEI pathway and is actively engaging ACOs, oncology practices, and health systems. The Company is continuing to invest in patient science to deepen the clinical evidence base supporting its products and to position itself as a trusted, evidence-based supplier as provider adoption develops. Management expects the early phase of the BEI to be implementation-led, with visibility into adoption developing through the second half of the calendar year. The program remains subject to ongoing legal and administrative scrutiny, including pending litigation, which the Company is actively monitoring.Bipartisan legislative momentum building. The Company continues to monitor and support bipartisan efforts to address the restrictive hemp legislation enacted in November 2025, including delay and comprehensive-framework proposals introduced in both the House and Senate. cbdMD believes that increased regulatory clarity — combined with the partial rescheduling of cannabis to Schedule III in April 2026 — will favor well-capitalized, compliance-focused operators with strong quality, safety, and clinical standards.Financial Highlights from our Second Quarter of Fiscal Year 2026:Net sales totaled $5.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 or an increase of 19% compared to $4.7 million in second quarter of fiscal 2025. Sequentially, revenue was up 12% from the first quarter of fiscal 2026.Our loss from operations was $801,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 as compared to a loss of $485,000 in the prior year comparative period.Our non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss from operations in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was approximately $220,000 compared to Adjusted EBITDA loss of $197,000 from operations in the second quarter of fiscal 2025.Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was approximately $0.88 million or a loss of $0.08 per share as compared to a net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 of approximately $1.5 million, or $1.90 per share.At March 31, 2026 we had working capital of approximately $5.4 million and cash on hand of approximately $2.6 million as compared to working capital of approximately $3.3 million and cash on hand of approximately $2.2 million at September 30, 2025.We reported direct to consumer (DTC) net sales of $3.8 million or 67% of total net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, an increase of $0.16 million, or 4% from the second quarter of fiscal 2025.We reported wholesale net sales of $1.8 million or 33% of total net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, an increase of $0.73 million, or 65% from the second quarter of fiscal 2025.We will host a conference call at 4:20 p.m., Eastern Time, on Thursday, May 14, 2026, to discuss our March 31, 2026, second quarter of fiscal 2026 financial results and business progress.CONFERENCE CALL DETAILSThursday, May 14, 2026, 4:20 p.m. Eastern Time

cbdMD Launches Clinical Healthcare Channel to Support First Federal Pathway for Hemp-Derived CBD in MedicareApril 1, 2026 8:30 AM
PR Newswire (US)
Company brings one of the only combined clinical and toxicological safety dataset in the hemp-derived CBD category into a new provider channel as CMS activates cannabinoid access within value-based care modelsCHARLOTTE, N.C., April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- cbdMD, Inc. (NYSE American: YCBD), a leader in science-driven cannabinoid products, today announced the launch of its clinical healthcare channel, positioning the Company to support physicians, health systems, and value-based care organizations as federal policy establishes structured pathways for hemp-derived cannabinoid products within Medicare programs.
On March 20, 2026, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) published operational guidance activating the Substance Access Beneficiary Engagement Incentive (BEI), an existing incentive mechanism within CMS Innovation Center models, to include eligible hemp-derived cannabinoid products for the first time. Effective April 1, 2026, participating accountable care organizations and oncology practices in select models, including the Enhancing Oncology Model (EOM) and ACO REACH, may furnish eligible hemp-derived products to Medicare patients as part of physician-supervised care. The upcoming LEAD Model also incorporates the BEI framework when it is expected to launch on January 1, 2027. Together these models encompass thousands of physicians and millions of aligned Medicare beneficiaries.The BEI remains a limited, model-specific initiative, not a broad access or reimbursement program, and participating organizations independently determine supplier relationships."Healthcare is where this category has always needed to go," said Ronan Kennedy, Chief Executive Officer of cbdMD. "This is the inflection point. CMS has established a structured, physician-supervised framework for hemp-derived cannabinoids within Medicare, and the bar to participate credibly is high requiring clinical data, institutional-grade documentation and healthcare supply infrastructure. cbdMD has spent years preparing for such framework."cbdMD is entering the clinical channel with a scientific and regulatory platform the Company believes is unmatched in the hemp-derived CBD category. To the Company's knowledge, no other hemp-derived CBD manufacturer has published both OECD-standard preclinical toxicology data and human randomized controlled trial data for its commercial product lines. That foundation includes:Published preclinical safety data: A 90-day subchronic oral toxicity study conducted to OECD 408 guidelines, the international standard used in pharmaceutical safety assessment, demonstrating safety margins significantly above expected human dosing levels
Human clinical evidence: Data from an IRB-approved, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial confirming safety and tolerability in human subjects
GRAS regulatory status: Self-affirmed Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) dossiers supporting key product categories,the same safety standard applied to conventional food and supplement ingredients reviewed by the FDA
Healthcare-grade supply chain: Batch-level traceability, certificate of analysis documentation, and quality systems designed for institutional procurement and compliance reviewIn parallel, cbdMD is developing a dedicated provider-focused product line with formulations, documentation, and labeling structured specifically for clinical environments, along with infrastructure to support multi-site health systems and value-based care organizations."We recognize physicians and health systems evaluating this category will not accept consumer-grade marketing claims or products without published safety data," said Sibyl Swift, Ph.D., member of board of directors and scientific consultant of cbdMD. "They require OECD-standard toxicology, human clinical data, drug interaction transparency, and documentation that can withstand institutional review. That evidence base does not exist broadly in this category, cbdMD has built it. That is where we are focused."The Company is actively engaging accountable care organizations, oncology practices, and health systems as they evaluate implementation under the BEI and broader clinical integration of cannabinoid products. cbdMD believes that provider adoption in this channel will be driven by demonstrated safety, data transparency, and operational reliability; standards the Company has been building toward for years. The company is also pursuing research partnerships with healthcare organizations and academic institutions to generate real-world outcomes data on hemp CBD in physician-supervised Medicare settings.cbdMD is also monitoring the FDA's recent submission of updated regulatory considerations for hemp-derived CBD products to the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, which the Company views as part of a continued shift toward a more clearly defined, evidence-based federal framework for cannabinoid products.Healthcare organizations interested in cbdMD's clinical channel, product documentation, or supply capabilities are encouraged to contact the Company directly.Clinical channel inquiries: md@cbdmd.comAbout the CMS Substance Access BEI The Substance Access Beneficiary Engagement Incentive, effective April 1, 2026, allows participating organizations in CMS Innovation Center models — including ACO REACH, the Enhancing Oncology Model, and the upcoming LEAD Model — to furnish eligible hemp-derived CBD products to Medicare patients through physician-supervised consultations. CMS does not reimburse product costs, does not designate preferred or approved suppliers, and does not cover products as a Medicare benefit. Participating organizations make independent clinical and procurement decisions.About cbdMD, Inc. cbdMD, Inc. (NYSE American: YCBD) is a science-driven cannabinoid company offering a portfolio of hemp-derived CBD products under the cbdMD, Bluebird Botanicals, Paw CBD, and Herbal Oasis brands. The Company has invested in clinical research, toxicological safety studies, and GRAS regulatory dossiers, establishing what it believes is the most comprehensive published safety and clinical dataset in the U.S. hemp-derived CBD category. cbdMD products are available direct-to-consumer at cbdmd.com, through thousands of retail locations, and through the Company's newly launched clinical healthcare channel.

Those statements include statements regarding expectations from evolving federal regulation, the development of cbdMD's clinical healthcare channel and platform, Medicare requirements, market acceptance of CBD clinical healthcare products and the ability of cbdMD to furnish eligible hemp-derived CBD products to Medicare patients. These statements may be identified by the use of words like "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "plan," "will," "should," and "seek," and similar expressions and include any financial projections or estimates or pro forma financial information set forth herein.

Shareholders of record as of February 2, 2026 will be eligible to vote.Highlights for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2026 and Notable Business Updates In December 2025, the Company raised approximately $2.25 million in Series C preferred financing, enhancing liquidity and working capital to support ongoing operations and integration efforts.In mid-January 2026, cbdMD completed the strategic acquisition of Bluebird Botanicals, a long-standing and respected CBD brand. The transaction includes Bluebird's e-commerce business and select intellectual property, including GRAS status for full-spectrum CBD formulations.
