• BranchOut reported revenue doubled to $14.3 million for the year and management presents an adjusted gross margin of 27.8% after adding back heavy depreciation, ~$1.0M of last-year air freight and a $348k tariff receivable.
• Plant ramp progress — March hit the company’s breakeven target of ~45 metric tons, the fourth production line goes online mid/late April (expected to raise monthly capacity toward ~80 mt), and lower‑moisture dairy SKUs could boost throughput roughly 2x–3x.
• Sales pipeline momentum — a $1.5M nationwide Sam’s Club order ships in May with potential to scale into a $10M–$15M SKU, five branded SKUs likely headed to Target in H2, ongoing Costco expansion and Walmart/European private‑label discussions.
• Operating expenses rose materially — G&A increased from $1.1M to $3.48M driven by a $1.2M idle‑capacity reclassification, plus a $401k historical loan impairment, ~$1.0M of prior air freight and higher R&D, which pressure near‑term profitability.
• Balance sheet note — a $3.36M convertible note is expected to convert (management says ~$500k already converted), which would reduce current liabilities but implies equity dilution and timing/impact are uncertain.
