Financial Performance:
財務業績：
Hydrofarm reported positive adjusted EBITDA and positive free cash flow for the full year 2023 despite slight fall in sales due to US retail sector industry softness and regulatory challenges in US cannabis industry.
Improved profitability was noted in Q4 and full-year 2023 with increase in adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross profit margin.
Q4 and full-year sales grew for Hydrofarm's proprietary nutrient brands, contributing to profit.
Q4 net sales were down by 23.2% year-over-year, ending at $47.2 million due to a decrease in sales volume and price mix decline.
Q4 gross profit amounted to $8.4 million, showing a significant increase from previous year gross loss of $0.5 million.
Q4 selling, general, and administrative expense was less than the prior year, as was the adjusted EBITDA.
Hydrofarm ended the year with approximately $123 million of term debt, and around $102 million of net debt.
Hydrofarm報告稱，由於美國零售業疲軟和美國大麻行業的監管挑戰，銷售額略有下降，但2023年全年調整後的息稅折舊攤銷前利潤爲正，自由現金流爲正。
隨着調整後的毛利和調整後的毛利率的增加，第四季度和2023年全年的盈利能力有所提高。
Hydrofarm專有營養素品牌的第四季度和全年銷售額均有所增長，爲利潤做出了貢獻。
由於銷量減少和價格組合下降，第四季度淨銷售額同比下降23.2％，收於4,720萬美元。
第四季度毛利爲840萬美元，較上年的50萬美元總虧損大幅增加。
第四季度的銷售、一般和管理費用低於上一年，調整後的息稅折舊攤銷前利潤也低於上年。
Hydrofarm在年底擁有約1.23億美元的定期債務和約1.02億美元的淨負債。
