Customer Retention Drives GrowGeneration's Q3 Results: Sales Up, Revenue Down
Customer Retention Drives GrowGeneration's Q3 Results: Sales Up, Revenue Down
GrowGeneration Corp. (NASDAQ:GRWG), a major U.S. retailer of hydroponic and organic gardening products, reported its Q3 2024 financial results Tuesday afternoon with a mixed performance. Net sales declined 10.2% year-over-year, totaling $50 million, down from $55.7 million in the same quarter of 2023.
growgeneration公司(納斯達克:GRWG),一家主要的美國水培和有機園藝產品零售商,於週二下午公佈了2024年第三季度的財務業績,表現喜憂參半。淨銷售額同比下降10.2%,總計5000萬,低於2023年同季度的5570萬。
The drop was driven by the closure of 25 retail locations as part of the company's ongoing restructuring. However, positive momentum was seen in same-store sales, which grew by 12.5%, buoyed by strong commercial sales and robust customer retention.
下降的原因是公司在持續重組中關閉了25個零售店。不過,門店銷售出現積極勢頭,同比增長12.5%,主要得益於強勁的商業銷售和良好的客戶留存。

Gross Profit And Margins Under Pressure
毛利潤和利潤率面臨壓力
Gross profit fell by 33.2%, decreasing from $16.2 million in Q3 2023 to $10.8 million in Q3 2024. The gross profit margin also contracted significantly, dropping to 21.6% from 29.1% in the prior year.
毛利潤下降了33.2%,從2023年第三季度的1620萬降至2024年第三季度的1080萬。毛利潤率也顯著收縮,從去年的29.1%降至21.6%。
The decline was attributed to restructuring activities, including inventory disposal costs and reduced vendor discounts. Despite the margin pressure, proprietary brand sales increased to 23.8% of cultivation and gardening net sales, compared to 19.4% in the same period last year.
該下降歸因於重組活動,包括庫存處置成本和減少的供應商折扣。儘管利潤率承壓,自有品牌銷售佔園藝和種植淨銷售額的比例上升至23.8%,而去年同期爲19.4%。
Operating Expenses Cut, Net Loss Widens
營業費用削減,淨虧損擴大
Operating expenses were reduced by 5.4%, falling to $22.9 million as GrowGeneration continued to streamline its operations through store consolidations and cost-cutting measures.
營業費用減少了5.4%,降至2290萬,growgeneration通過門店整合和削減成本措施持續優化其操作。
However, these efforts were not enough to offset the impact of lower sales, as the company reported a net loss of $11.4 million, a widening from the $7.3 million loss in Q3 2023. Adjusted EBITDA also showed a deeper loss of $2.4 million, compared to a $0.9 million loss in the prior year.
然而,這些努力不足以抵消銷售下滑的影響,公司報告了1140萬美元的淨虧損,較2023年第三季度的730萬美元虧損有所擴大。調整後的EBITDA也顯示出240萬美元的更大虧損,而去年同期爲90萬美元的虧損。
