Vital Farms (Nasdaq: VITL), a Certified B Corporation that offers a range of ethically produced foods nationwide, today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 29, 2026.
Financial highlights for the first quarter ended March 29, 2026, compared to the first quarter ended March 30, 2025, include:
- Net Revenue increased 15.4% to $187.2 million, compared to $162.2 million
- Gross Margin of 28.3%, compared to 38.5%
- Net Loss of $1.5 million, compared to Net Income of $16.9 million
- Net Loss per Diluted Share of $0.03, compared to Net Income per Diluted Share of $0.37
- Adjusted EBITDA of $5.0 million, compared to $27.5 million1
“Our first quarter performance fell short of expectations, as the anticipated changes in industry pricing and promotional dynamics in the outdoor access egg subcategory had a much greater impact on our velocities than we expected,” said Russell Diez-Canseco, Vital Farms’ Executive Chairperson, President and CEO. “We are acting with urgency to restore volume growth by narrowing price gaps versus other outdoor access eggs, which we believe will help reaccelerate our velocities. We are streamlining our cost structure and reducing our CapEx this year to better align our operating model with the current environment. To be clear: this is a reset of the year, not a reset of ambition. While the near-term environment requires greater discipline, we believe the core fundamentals of the Vital Farms business remain intact, as evidenced by the distribution gains we have already secured for this year.
Additionally, following a comprehensive review process, we have made the strategic decision to wind down the butter business. This decision was driven by increased complexity in our international supply chain and more volatile economics. Exiting butter will allow us to focus on our core egg categories, where we have the greatest competitive advantages and see the strongest path to long-term value creation at this time,” concluded Diez-Canseco.
1Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined in the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below and is reconciled to net income, its closest comparable GAAP measure, at the end of this release.
For the 13 Weeks Ended March 29, 2026
Net revenue increased 15.4% to $187.2 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $162.2 million in the first quarter of 2025. Net revenue growth in the first quarter of 2026 was driven by volume-related revenue growth of $34.7 million and partially offset by a price/mix decline of $9.7 million. Volume growth was driven by accelerated demand for existing products, expanded item offerings and store distribution at existing customers. The price/mix decline was driven by an oversupply of egg inventory, which resulted in increased sales to breaker and wholesale channels at lower prices.
Gross profit was $53.0 million, or 28.3% of net revenue, in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $62.5 million, or 38.5% of net revenue, in the first quarter of 2025. Gross profit and margin decreased compared to the prior-year period reflecting higher input and production costs and unfavorable sales mix, which were partially offset by higher net revenue from volume growth and pricing actions taken last year. The unfavorable sales mix was driven by an oversupply of egg inventory, which resulted in increased sales to breaker and wholesale channels at lower prices, reducing gross profit by an estimated $4.9 million.
Loss from operations was $2.3 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to income from operations of $21.8 million in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease was driven by higher input and production costs, higher SG&A to support the growth of the business as well as an unfavorable sales mix, which were only partially offset by higher net revenue from volume growth and pricing actions taken last year.
Net loss was $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to net income of $16.9 million in the prior-year quarter. The decrease was driven by higher input and production costs and unfavorable sales mix, which were partially offset by higher net revenue from volume growth and pricing actions taken last year.
Net loss per diluted share was ($0.03) for the first quarter of 2026, compared to net income per diluted share of $0.37 in the prior-year quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA was $5.0 million, or 2.7% of net revenue, in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $27.5 million, or 16.9% of net revenue, in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease was driven by higher input and production costs, higher SG&A to support the growth of the business as well as an unfavorable sales mix, which were only partially offset by higher net revenue from volume growth and pricing actions taken last year.
Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain non-cash items. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined in the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below and is reconciled to net income, its closest comparable GAAP measure, at the end of this release.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $51.4 million as of March 29, 2026, and we had no outstanding debt. The sequential decrease in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $61.9 million was primarily due to investments in Vital Crossroads (VXR), the company’s planned second egg washing and packing facility in Seymour, Indiana, and development of accelerator farms, as well as repurchases of the company’s common stock. Net cash used in operating activities was $18.6 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $5.3 million for the prior-year quarter.
Capital expenditures totaled $20.8 million in the 13-week period ended March 29, 2026, compared to $3.1 million in the prior-year quarter. The increase was primarily due to investments in VXR.
Stock repurchased under the company’s previously announced stock repurchase program totaled 1,001,747 shares of common stock at an average price per share of $19.97, for an aggregate cost of $20.0 million, in the first quarter of 2026. As of March 29, 2026, $80.0 million remained authorized for repurchases of additional shares of the company’s common stock.
Strategic Business Update
Vital Farms announced the strategic decision to wind down its butter business by the end of fiscal 2026 to sharpen its focus on its core egg product categories where the company believes it maintains distinct competitive advantages.
This portfolio optimization is expected to be margin accretive upon cessation of operations, while freeing management bandwidth to accelerate distribution in the company’s core egg categories.
Fiscal 2026 Outlook
Thilo Wrede, Vital Farms’ Chief Financial Officer, commented: “Our updated outlook for fiscal year 2026 reflects a prudent response to the current pricing environment in the egg category. We are proactively tightening our cost structure and aligning our capital allocation to prioritize operational discipline and margin protection. This is designed to ensure we navigate near-term headwinds effectively while maintaining a strong balance sheet and positioning us for strong future growth based on our trusted brand.”
For fiscal year 2026, we expect:
- Net revenue of $775 million to $800 million, which represents at least 5% growth versus fiscal year 2025. This assumes that our investments in price and our distribution gains lead to a return to positive shell egg volume growth by the third quarter of 2026 with acceleration in the fourth quarter. It also assumes that competitive activity does not intensify further.
- Adjusted EBITDA of $0 to $10 million, reflecting higher than previously anticipated promotional spending and price investments and the negative impact of approximately $32 million from costs to manage the current oversupply of eggs.
- Capital expenditures in the range of $70 million to $75 million, compared to our previous range of $140 million to $150 million. The lower capital expenditures outlook reflects our decision to slow the pace of capital spending, particularly at VXR and new accelerator farms, to better align the timing of capacity additions with demand realization.
Vital Farms’ guidance assumes that there are no significant disruptions to the supply chain or its customers or consumers, including any issues from adverse macroeconomic factors. Vital Farms cannot provide a reconciliation between its forecasted Adjusted EBITDA and net (loss) income, its most directly comparable GAAP measure, without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of reliable estimates for income taxes and stock-based compensation, among other items. These items are not within our control and may vary greatly between periods and could significantly impact future financial results.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, non-GAAP financial measures, provide investors with additional useful information in evaluating our performance.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are financial measures that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, when taken together with our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating performance and facilitate internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations or outlook. In particular, we believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are helpful to our investors as they are measures used by management in assessing the health of our business, determining incentive compensation and evaluating our operating performance, as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income, adjusted to exclude: (1) depreciation and amortization; (2) stock-based compensation expense; (3) (benefit) or provision for income taxes as applicable; (4) interest expense; (5) interest income; and (6) amortization of cloud computing arrangements. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Some of the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin include that (1) they do not properly reflect capital commitments to be paid in the future, (2) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the underlying assets may need to be replaced and Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect these capital expenditures, (3) they do not consider the impact of stock-based compensation expense, (4) they do not reflect other non-operating expenses, including interest expense; and (5) they do not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us. In addition, our use of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin in the same manner, limiting the usefulness as comparative measures. Because of these limitations, when evaluating our performance, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin alongside other financial measures, including our net (loss) income, net (loss) income margin and other results stated in accordance with GAAP.
