Local Bounti Corp (NYSE:LOCL), a controlled environment agriculture company, reported a 30% adjusted gross margin in Q2 2025, its highest in recent quarters. The company's operational efficiency improvements, strategic product mix recalibration at its Texas facility, and the launch of a new salad kit line contributed to this achievement [1].The Texas facility, now operating at full capacity, completed a major reconfiguration in late July. This upgrade doubled the facility's harvestable capacity, allowing the company to run and harvest from all lines [1]. The new salad kit line, introduced in April 2025, has received positive feedback from retail partners, further expanding the company's product offerings [1].
Financial highlights include a $10 million capital infusion and a $10 million debt reduction, which strengthened LOCL's balance sheet [1]. However, the path to profitability remains tied to the timelines of retail partners, which have been delayed, affecting financial targets [1].
Despite these challenges, LOCL's adjusted EBITDA loss improved to $6.5 million, down from $8.3 million in Q2 2024 [2]. The company's GAAP sales rose 28% year over year to $12.1 million, but missed the GAAP analyst estimate of $12.4 million [2]. The company expects modest sequential sales growth in Q3 2025, followed by faster gains in Q4 as full benefits from facility upgrades and new product offerings begin to flow through [2].
