ONTARIO, Calif., Aug. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Nature's Miracle Holding Inc. (NASDAQ: NMHI) ("Nature's Miracle" or the "Company"), a leader in vertical farming technology and infrastructure, today reported its financial and operational update for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Second Quarter 2024 and Subsequent Business Updates

• Revenue of $3.4 million, a 75% increase from the same period in 2023, and a 54% increase compared to the first quarter of 2024.
• Gross margin improved 800 basis points to 13.3% from the same period in 2023.
• Launched and completed first shipment of Efinity brand Smart Dehumidifier product.
• Developed a strong pipeline of grow light orders within the energy rebate market with total grow light purchase orders of $5 million in July.

Management Commentary

James Li, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Nature's Miracle, commented, "During the first full quarter as a public company, Nature's Miracle recognized significant revenue growth, strong new order trends for our existing products and diversification of our portfolio with the launch of new products and new distribution partners. In the second quarter, we achieved revenue growth of 75% from the prior year period, which was driven by strong demand from the energy rebate market for LED grow light products and increases in our marketing team and efforts. Our 800-basis point expansion of gross margin was the result of higher margins realized through the Company's Efinity brand products, favorable pricing trends from Asian manufacturers and incentive costs to the Company for operating in the energy rebate market. Taken together, we are rapidly growing our footprint across the North American market with our vertically integrated approach of products and solutions for the CEA market."

"We are pleased with our progress through the first half of 2024, and at this early stage of development as a public company. Our strategic focus is on continuing to build a foundation of existing, new and licensed products as catalysts for revenue growth in the second half of 2024 and beyond. The record purchase orders received in July are an indication that Nature's Miracle is well positioned in the market and with our effective sales and marketing channels, we will seek to further capitalize on this momentum. A defining component of our sales and marketing efforts focuses on reinforcing our distinct position as a fully integrated provider of comprehensive vertical farms," concluded Mr. Li.

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Summary

For the second quarter of 2024, revenue totaled $3.4 million, increasing 75% from $1.9 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in demand of our Efinity LED light products from the energy rebate market and the increases in our sales force as catalyst for this growth.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2024 totaled $0.5 million or 13.3% of revenue, as compared to $0.1 million or 5.2% of revenue in the prior year period. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to the higher margin component of our Efinity brand products and the finance structure of the energy rebate market.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $1.5 million compared to $0.5 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to public company costs, higher spend on staffing related, legal, accounting and other professional fees as well as stock compensation charges.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2024 totaled $1.8 million, or $(0.07) per share, and net loss of $0.4 million, or $(0.02) per share in the prior year period.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $30,532 at June 30, 2024, compared to $221,760 at December 31, 2023. Subsequent to quarter end, on July 29, 2024, the company closed a public offering for aggregate gross proceeds of $1.2 million.
