May 15, 2026

Retail Expansion, Operational Execution and Higher-Margin Product Growth Support Company’s Evolution Into a Diversified Clean-Label Nutrition Platform

Company Advances Midwest RTD Infrastructure Initiative and Tetra Pak Integration to Address Growing Demand for Shelf-Stable Functional Nutrition Solutions

Conference Call to Be Held Today at 8:00 a.m. ET

BELVIDERE, N.J., May 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Edible Garden AG Incorporated (“Edible Garden” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: EDBL, EDBLW), a leader in controlled environment agriculture (CEA), locally grown, organic, and sustainable produce and products, today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

During the first quarter of 2026, the Company continued executing on its strategic evolution into a broader clean-label consumer packaged goods and ready-to-drink (“RTD”) nutrition platform, leveraging its controlled environment agriculture foundation, retail distribution network, and vertically integrated infrastructure to expand into higher-value and shelf-stable categories.

Financial & Operating Highlights

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026:

• Revenue increased approximately 22.9% to approximately $3.3 million, compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, reflecting broad-based growth across cut herbs, vitamins and supplements, and branded condiments.

• Cut Herb Sales increased approximately 46% year-over-year, driven by growth in existing accounts and new account contributions from Kroger and Weis Markets.

• Vitamin and Supplements Sales increased approximately 27% year-over-year, reflecting continued demand across the Company’s better-for-you nutrition portfolio.

• International Sales increased approximately 50% year-over-year reflecting continued expansion of the Company’s distribution footprint and growing demand across international markets.

• Condiment Sales increased approximately 51% year-over-year, reflecting continued expansion of the Company’s value-added branded product portfolio.

• Continued advancement of the Company’s Midwest RTD manufacturing platform, including progress related to the planned integration of Tetra Pak processing and packaging solutions.

“Our first quarter results reflect the continued momentum we are building across the business as the investments we made in our retail network, product portfolio, and operational infrastructure begin translating into measurable growth,” said Jim Kras, Chief Executive Officer of Edible Garden. “Revenue increased 22.9% year-over-year, supported by expansion across more than 6,000 retail locations, new and expanded relationships with major retail partners including Target and Safeway, and approximately 46% growth in cut herb sales.”

“The first quarter of 2026 represented an important step in our evolution as we continued expanding beyond our traditional greenhouse and fresh herb business into a broader clean-label nutrition and functional beverage platform. Leveraging the controlled environment agriculture foundation, operational infrastructure, vertically integrated platform, retail distribution network, and product development capabilities we have established over the past several years, we continue expanding into adjacent, expected higher-value and shelf-stable categories.

“During the quarter, we expanded our retail footprint with key partners including Target, Safeway, The Fresh Market, Hannaford, Busch’s Fresh Food Market, and Woodman’s Markets, while broadening distribution across our branded product portfolio, including Pickle Party™, Pulp®, Kick. Sports Nutrition®, Vitamin Whey®, and JEALOUSY GLP-1 support products. We believe the growing traction we are seeing across both retail distribution and branded products reflects increasing consumer and retailer demand for clean-label, wellness-focused, and functional nutrition offerings across multiple categories.”

“We believe the ready-to-drink category represents a significant long-term opportunity, with the global RTD market projected to grow from approximately $842.5 billion in 2025 to roughly $1.26 trillion by 2033. Through discussions with existing and prospective retail partners, we expect to see growing demand for scalable domestic production solutions that can deliver clean-label, shelf-stable functional nutrition products with consistency, transparency, and operational reliability, reflecting what we believe is a meaningful unmet need within the market. We believe our selection of Tetra Pak, a globally recognized leader in food processing and aseptic packaging solutions, further strengthened the foundation of our RTD platform, while our existing relationships across more than 6,000 retail locations position us to support future growth through established buyer relationships already in place.”

“Our foundation in controlled environment agriculture has allowed us to build deep expertise in traceability, sustainability, operational discipline, supply chain management, and retail execution. We believe our evolution into ready-to-drink and shelf-stable nutrition categories is a natural extension of our Farm-to-Formula® strategy and our commitment to delivering clean-label, responsibly produced products that meet evolving consumer demand. We are still in the early stages of this evolution, but we believe the foundation is in place: a growing retail network, an expanding branded product portfolio, and a path to RTD manufacturing with Tetra Pak. We remain focused on executing against these opportunities while continuing to position Edible Garden for potential improved margins, greater scalability, and long-term value creation,” concluded Kras.

Financial Overview
Financial results for the first quarter of 2026 reflect continued revenue growth and retail expansion, alongside ongoing investment in the Company's platform-driven growth initiatives.

Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was approximately $3.3 million, compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of approximately $0.6 million, or 22.9%. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to continued growth in the Company’s cut herb portfolio across its retail customer base, which increased approximately $0.6 million, or 45.9%, supported by growth in existing accounts and new account contributions from Kroger and Weis Markets. Revenue growth was broad-based, with year-over-year dollar sales increases across hydroponic basil, wheatgrass, vitamins and supplements, and condiments, reflecting the expanding reach of the Company's diversified product portfolio across its growing retail footprint.

Operating expenses were $10.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase of $4.4 million or 77.5% was primarily due to increase in cost of goods sold and depreciation expense and amortization. Increase in cost of goods sold was primarily driven by increased sales and a portfolio shift to cut herbs, which is primarily sourced from third party growers at higher cost. Depreciation expense increase of $2.5 million was primarily due to accelerated depreciation of certain fixed assets as a result of the Company’s pivot to RTD clean nutrition manufacturing.

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily related to a valuation allowance release in connection with the sale of certain state tax benefits under the New Jersey Economic Development Authority’s Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer Program.

Net loss was $3.7 million, compared to a net loss of approximately $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Net loss per common share was approximately $(5.25) for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to approximately $(24.74) for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Edible Garden partners with Tetra Pak for Midwest ready-to-drink production hubMarch 4, 2026 10:57 AM
IH Market News
Edible Garden AG Incorporated (NASDAQ:EDBL) announced plans to expand its operations into ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages through a new manufacturing initiative at its Midwest facility, selecting Tetra Pak to support the project’s processing and packaging infrastructure.The company said the move is part of its broader Zero-Waste Inspired strategy and responds to growing demand from national retailers for scalable RTD production capable of delivering clean-label, shelf-stable nutrition products.Under the initiative, Edible Garden will work with Tetra Pak, a global provider of food processing and packaging systems, to plan, install and integrate proprietary processing technologies at the site. The companies plan to formalize the agreement on March 4, 2026, at 2:00 PM PT during Natural Products Expo West 2026 in Anaheim, California.



Midwest facility to anchor RTD expansion



Edible Garden’s Midwest location includes more than 200,000 square feet of food-grade manufacturing space supported by warehousing and logistics infrastructure within the U.S. agricultural corridor. The company is converting the site into a dedicated hub for ready-to-drink beverages and clean nutrition products.The facility is expected to support aseptic and ultra-filtered beverage production across several categories, including protein drinks, plant-based products, dairy beverages and functional nutrition formulas. The platform will serve as a cornerstone of Edible Garden’s Farm-to-Formula® strategy, which integrates controlled-environment agriculture with research, formulation and large-scale beverage manufacturing.Advanced aseptic processing and carton packaging systems supplied by Tetra Pak are designed to help maintain product quality while extending shelf life without refrigeration or preservatives. The technology will allow ambient distribution while maintaining clean-label standards.Initial production under Phase 1 of the project is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2027. Once completed, the facility is intended to serve as a scalable innovation platform that enables the company to expand beyond fresh produce into higher-margin, shelf-stable beverage categories.



Entering a rapidly growing RTD market



The company noted that the global ready-to-drink market was valued at roughly $766 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach about $1.3 trillion by 2030. Edible Garden believes the new facility positions it to capture opportunities within this expanding segment while maintaining its sustainability-focused operating model.“Major retailers are facing growing, and in many cases unmet, demand for reliable, clean-label RTD capacity, and our facility is being developed to deliver the scale and precision required to meet that need,” said Jim Kras, Chief Executive Officer of Edible Garden. “This initiative represents a significant milestone in our strategic evolution and disciplined expansion into higher-margin, shelf-stable categories. The facility will integrate advanced processing and aseptic packaging solutions from Tetra Pak, including the Tetra Prisma® Aseptic 330 Edge package and the Tetra Pak® A3/Speed filling platform, a globally recognized food technology system designed for efficiency and performance.”Kras added that the company selected Tetra Pak because its technology supports Edible Garden’s sustainability objectives.“We selected Tetra Pak because their solutions align directly with our Zero-Waste Inspired mission. The Tetra Prisma® Aseptic 330 Edge package is made primarily from renewable, plant-based materials and is recyclable. When paired with the high-speed Tetra Pak® A3/Speed filling system, the platform is expected to extend shelf life without preservatives or refrigeration prior to opening, while supporting a smaller manufacturing footprint, faster throughput, greater pallet and shelf density, and lower overall supply chain costs — helping reduce food waste and energy consumption across the value chain.”Edible Garden stock price

John Fife new nickname 'Slick Rick". EDBL does a 1:10 reverse split and two days later EDBL issues 60K shares immediately sold for $4.17+. Still took a loss from stated value.

Lots of new last few weeks - seems like they're growing their market. I bought a position yesterday.

Higher and higher $1.43

Well look who’s back. I hope you are not here to defend this promotion like you defended EASTERLIED, DelCrappo, and UtterlyDumb in the CERTIFIED SHARE SELLING SCAM known as SHMP. Let’s hope Edible Gardens quickly realizes what they purchased from SHMP’s creditors and one day find the same can be AND HAS BEEN purchased right off the shelf from
China, to anyone with a credit card, anywhere in the world. This is nothing more than a glorified wastewater treatment EC machine which requires copious amount of electricity and has never proven to give the ability to produce high density harvests.

I hope Edible realizes this quickly

SHMP was also a share selling scam

As I told you so, over and over

Noted and UtahFlash Certified Correct, just ask your pal Bilky

Yes thank you eqinvestor... I'm already out here.

This company is bleeding money. Stay away.

I get it.  I do agree the volume was surely to help push the warrant through however the new warrant is at .36 cost basis. To me that says the price will rise as the new warrant would make no sense otherwise. I agree maybe not today given the Holiday and lack of volume and other news.  I don't think it will go back to the teens personally but that is my opinion. Could get interesting here in the future. Merry Christmas! 

Simple the volume the last few days was just to get the warrant exercise done and the stock sold. Now it's going to  go back exactly where it was and may trade to the year low.

What are your thoughts and reasons? 

This stock is virtually guaranteed to collapse today

I saw that.  Investor exercises a placement from Sept it looks like if I read the press release right. I feel like a bigger catalyst is coming.  Hopefully.  We will see. 

EDBL: Late today, they DUMPED huge numbers of warrants to market!!! (CLEVER!!!)

Dollar land is coming 

$EDBL Actually just a dip to the news out today great time to add now , but small amount to an institutional investor .

I think we will see $1 here soon in the next few trading days.  Just a hunch.  We will see if I am right or wrong. 

Don't get stuck listening to their fake story, they're losing millions per quarter they're far from profitable. If you check the recent DDS you will see that they did 5 1/2 million at $.36 to share. Now they pump the stock to go over the $.36 to share until they get their 5.5 million to pay that debt off. All that you were seeing is wash trading by professionals to make it look like there's true action. You will see once they receive the amount of money they need. This will go right back down into the low teams and then they'll do a reverse split to get it up over the dollar and then be compliant

EDBL: Eat your God-damned VEGETABLES, America!!!!
