Labor Smart Inc reported significant Q1 2025 results, marking its transformation from a single-brand DTC business to a diversified beverage and wellness conglomerate. Q1 revenue reached $3.39 million, a remarkable 1300% year-over-year increase. The growth was primarily driven by the acquisition of Creager Mercantile, which expanded the company's presence to over 9,000 retail locations. Despite the revenue surge, the company reported a net loss due to strategic investments in personnel, marketing, legal work, and infrastructure. The company is executing a growth-through-acquisition strategy, focusing on building high-margin brands and developing channel-agnostic distribution strategies across various sectors including retail, school districts, hotels, and on-premise locations.
Labor Smart Inc ha riportato risultati significativi nel primo trimestre del 2025, segnando la sua trasformazione da un'azienda DTC a marchio singolo a un conglomerato diversificato nel settore delle bevande e del benessere. I ricavi del primo trimestre hanno raggiunto 3,39 milioni di dollari, con un notevole aumento del 1300% rispetto all'anno precedente. La crescita 猫 stata principalmente guidata dall'acquisizione di Creager Mercantile, che ha ampliato la presenza dell'azienda a oltre 9.000 punti vendita. Nonostante l'incremento dei ricavi, l'azienda ha riportato una perdita netta a causa di investimenti strategici in personale, marketing, attivit脿 legali e infrastrutture. La societ脿 sta attuando una strategia di crescita tramite acquisizioni, concentrandosi sulla costruzione di marchi ad alto margine e sullo sviluppo di strategie di distribuzione indipendenti dal canale, in diversi settori tra cui retail, distretti scolastici, hotel e punti vendita on-premise.

JACKSON, WY / / May 21, 2025 / Dear Shareholders,
As we close out the first quarter of 2025, I want to take a moment to acknowledge the progress we've made and the path ahead. The transformation of Labor Smart from a single-brand, direct-to-consumer business into a diversified, multinational beverage and wellness conglomerate is well underway. Though the numbers in this quarter may not yet fully reflect the scale of our ambitions, they reveal a company gaining real momentum-built on strategy, structure, and execution.
Turning a Corner
Q1 revenue surged to $3.39 million, representing a year-over-year increase of more than 1300%. This explosive growth didn't happen by accident-it is a direct result of our shift in vision and the disciplined execution of our growth-through-acquisition strategy.
Through the acquisition of Creager Mercantile, we've immediately expanded our footprint into over 9,000 retail locations. This was not just an acquisition of revenue-it was an acquisition of infrastructure, relationships, and access. We now control a critical piece of the supply chain, giving us the distribution backbone needed to build and scale multiple brands under one roof.
From Lockd'In to Go Fast and More!
Our roots as a single-brand, direct-to-consumer company served their purpose. But our future lies in building and acquiring high-margin brands, developing channel-agnostic distribution strategies, and unlocking institutional and B2B revenue across independent stores, chain retail, school districts, hotels, and on-premise locations.
We've paired this innovation with a refreshed marketing push for Go Fast Energy, aligning it with an omnichannel growth strategy. These efforts signal a focused intent: not just to participate in the consumer goods market-but to lead it.
Managing the Growth Curve
We are under no illusions-turnarounds are difficult. Growth comes with complexity, and complexity often comes before profitability. We closed the quarter with a net loss, but it's critical to understand why: our expenses reflect strategic investments in personnel, marketing, legal work, and infrastructure required to scale. We are confident that these short-term costs will yield long-term returns.
At the same time, we have been aggressive in cleaning up our balance sheet. Carefully balancing the cost of expansion with a careful blend of equity and debt, that will be offset by significantly increased revenues and improved margins that will scale with profitability as we strategically attack liabilities and dilution with this transformation of the company. This is all part of a long-term strategy that will make sense in the coming quarters. We remain committed to thoughtful capital deployment. While some dilution is necessary to fund key acquisitions and partnerships, shareholder value remains a top priority. We will create a strategy and eventually execute the plan that will enhance the cap table while improving the value to the shareholder.
Looking Ahead
Labor Smart is no longer just a company with a vision-we are a company with traction. With each quarter, you will see further progress: more revenue, more brands, deeper market penetration, and growing alignment between our operational model and financial performance.
Our north star is sustainable profitability. And while that won't happen overnight, it will happen-with discipline, execution, and your continued support.
Thank you for believing in our transformation. The journey isn't easy-but the destination is worth it.
Sincerely, Brad Wyatt Chief Executive Officer Labor Smart, Inc.
