- GrowGeneration returned to GAAP profitability in the third quarter despite lower year-over-year sales.
- Management plans additional store closures and has withdrawn its adjusted EBITDA forecast because restructuring costs remain uncertain.
- Higher proprietary-brand sales and a leaner retail footprint are central to the company's profitability plan.
GrowGeneration reported a profitable third quarter on November 10, 2026, while narrowing its full-year revenue outlook and withdrawing adjusted EBITDA guidance. The company's earnings release showed progress in margins and proprietary brands, but also highlighted restructuring costs ahead.
Profit returns despite lower sales
Third-quarter net sales fell to USD 44.8 million from USD 47.3 million a year earlier. GAAP net income reached USD 0.2 million, compared with a net loss of USD 2.4 million in the prior-year quarter.
Gross margin expanded to 32.4% from 27.2%, while adjusted EBITDA rose to USD 2.3 million from USD 1.3 million. The company said the improvement included a USD 2.6 million reduction in cost of sales tied to IEEPA tariff refunds, as well as a stronger mix of proprietary-brand products.
Revenue outlook becomes narrower
GrowGeneration narrowed its 2026 net revenue guidance to USD 163 million to USD 165 million, compared with the previous range of USD 162 million to USD 168 million. At the same time, management withdrew its prior adjusted EBITDA outlook of USD 2 million to USD 3 million because the financial impact and timing of restructuring measures remain uncertain.
The company expects to close four to five additional retail locations during the fourth quarter, including two closures already completed. The stated goal is to reduce fixed costs and improve profitability in 2027 while expanding commercial sales and proprietary-brand penetration.
Proprietary brands gain ground
Proprietary-brand sales increased 19.3% year over year to USD 14.4 million and represented 40.6% of Cultivation and Gardening revenue, compared with 31.6% in the prior-year quarter. Storage Solutions generated USD 9.2 million in quarterly sales, up from USD 8.9 million a year earlier.
GrowGeneration ended September with USD 41.8 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and no debt. That liquidity gives management room to carry out the restructuring, although the withdrawal of profit guidance leaves near-term earnings visibility limited.
