Management Commentary

“Our third quarter results reflect solid top line growth, marking our seventh consecutive quarter of year-over-year net revenue growth, even as industry-wide fuel costs continued to weigh on operating expenses,” said Felix Lin, President and Chief Executive Officer of HF Foods. “We are actively managing through this pressure by taking actions to mitigate the impact, and the efficiency programs built through our transformation continue to help offset higher costs. We also completed our acquisition of Searay Foods during the quarter, our first expansion outside the United States, and integration is progressing well. With the foundation of our transformation largely built, we are focused on route and warehouse efficiency, purchasing discipline and cross-selling across the Southeast and Midwest. We are confident in our ability to turn near-term cost pressure into long-term value for our shareholders as we strengthen our position as the leading nationwide Asian specialty food distributor.”

Third Quarter 2026 Results

Net revenue was $319.6 million for the third quarter of 2026 compared to $307.0 million in the prior year period, an increase of $12.6 million, or 4.1%. The increase was primarily attributable to volume growth in Seafood and pricing improvement in Produce and Commodity, partially offset by price decreases in Meat & Poultry. Net revenue also included $4.2 million from Searay Foods following the completion of its acquisition effective August 31, 2026, reflecting 1 month of contribution during the quarter.

Gross profit was $53.4 million for the quarter, compared to $50.4 million in the prior year period, an increase of $3.0 million, or 5.9%. The increase was primarily driven by volume growth in Seafood, incremental margin gained from Searay and IEEPA tariff refunds received during the quarter. Gross profit margin increased to 16.7% compared to 16.4% in the prior year period.

Distribution, selling and administrative expenses increased by $5.9 million, or 11.9%, compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by professional services related to the non-recurring events including amendment and increase of our revolving credit facility, the refinancing of our property portfolio, acquisition of Searay Foods and other legal expenses and an increase in auto & truck expenses reflecting elevated fuel costs and truck lease expense, partially offset by a decrease of repair & maintenance costs due to the investments into upgrading our fleet. Distribution, selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenue increased to 17.3% compared to 16.1% in the prior year period.

Net loss was $4.2 million compared to a net loss of $0.9 million in the prior year period. The increase in net loss was primarily driven by a $2.9 million decrease in income from operations, reflecting margin growth of $3.0 million offset by the $5.9 million increase in distribution, selling and administrative expenses. Other expense (income) reduced by $0.5 million driven by a positive change in fair value of interest rate swap contracts of $0.9 million partially offset by higher interest expense. Income tax benefit reduced by $0.9 million compared to same period last year.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased 6.3% to $11.0 million compared to $11.7 million in the prior year period, which was mainly due to the increase in net loss and various other items noted in t
