These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding our ability to raise capital in the future, future financial performance, business strategies including future acquisitions, expansion plans including construction of future facilities, future results of operations, estimated revenues, losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to differ materially from results expressed or implied in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements:

•Local Bounti's ability to generate significant revenue;

•the risk that Local Bounti may never achieve or sustain profitability;

•the risk that Local Bounti could fail to effectively manage its future growth;

•the risk that Local Bounti will fail to obtain additional necessary capital when needed on acceptable terms or at all;

•Local Bounti's ability to complete the build out of its current or additional facilities in the future;

•Local Bounti's reliance on third parties for construction, the risk of delays relating to material delivery and supply chains, and fluctuating material prices;

•Local Bounti's ability to scale its operations and decrease its cost of goods sold over time;

•the potential for damage to or problems with Local Bounti's facilities;

•the impact that current or future acquisitions, investments or expansions of scope of existing relationships have on Local Bounti's business, financial condition, and results of operations;

•the other factors discussed in Item 1A, "Risk Factors" of the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any updates to those factors set forth in Local Bounti's subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K.

The forward-looking statements contained herein are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on our business. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting our business will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward- looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the "Risk Factors" identified in Part I, Item 1A of the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess the effect of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking

statements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of the assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements.

In light of these risks and uncertainties, there is no assurance that the events or results suggested by the forward-looking statements will in fact occur, and you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements made by us in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q speak only as of the date made. Local Bounti undertakes no obligation, other than as required by applicable law, to update or revise its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, subsequent events, anticipated or unanticipated circumstances or otherwise.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Business Description

Description of the Business

Local Bounti Corporation ("Local Bounti" or the "Company") was founded in August 2018 and is headquartered in Hamilton, Montana. The Company is a producer of sustainably grown living lettuce, and loose leaf lettuce. The Company is a controlled environment agriculture ("CEA") company that utilizes patented Stack & Flow Technology®, which is a hybrid of vertical and hydroponic greenhouse farming, to grow healthy food sustainably and affordably. Through the Company's CEA process, its goal is to produce environmentally sustainable products in a manner that will increase harvest efficiency, limit water usage, and reduce the carbon footprint of the production and distribution process.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

Management of Local Bounti is responsible for the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this document, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the statements herein.

The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the "Annual Financial Statements") as filed with the SEC. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly present its financial position as of March 31, 2024, its results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, and its stockholders' (deficit) equity for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024 or any future period. The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2023 was derived from the Annual Financial Statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the Annual Financial Statements.

Liquidity

The Company has incurred losses and generated negative cash flows from operations since its inception. At March 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $327.4 million and cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $14.7 million.

The Ninth Amendment to the credit facilities with Cargill Financial, as described in Note 6, Debt, allows for the payment in kind of the quarterly interest payments due and payable for the quarters ending June 30, 2024, September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2024. The Ninth Amendment also provides for up to $15.0 million in working capital for the Company, $5.0 million of which has been drawn down, and the remaining $10.0 million of which remains available to the Company as of March 31, 2024. In addition, the Company expects to close in the second quarter of 2024 on the four previously disclosed Conditional Commitment Letters ("CCLs") from a commercial finance lender that were executed in the second half of 2023. Together, the CCLs will provide financing of approximately $228 million to fund its 2024 facility expansions, its new greenfield facility in the Midwest, and to repay certain existing construction financing which will lower the Company’s cost of capital. The funding expected pursuant to the CCLs is subject to the completion of definitive documents and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

The Company believes that the additional $10.0 million of working capital from Cargill Financial, the $228 million from a commercial finance lender, the Company's current cash position, cash generated from product sales, and anticipated additional deferrals of future cash interest and principal payments under the Company's credit facilities with Cargill Financial will be adequate to fund the Company’s planned operations over the next 12 months from the issuance of these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company also believes additional cash can be secured through other debt or equity financings, if necessary. However, there can be no assurance that equity or debt financing will be available to the Company should it need it or, if available, that the terms will be satisfactory to the Company and not dilutive to existing shareholders. The

Company's failure to raise capital as and when needed could have significant negative consequences for its business, financial condition and results of consolidated operations.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with liability and equity characteristics, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The standard reduces the number of models used to account for convertible instruments, removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, and requires the if-converted method for calculation of diluted earnings per share for all convertible instruments. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2024. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), which requires disclosure of specific categories and disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation table. The ASU also requires disclosure of disaggregated information related to income taxes paid, income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit, and income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations. The standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Ninth Amendment allows for the payment in kind of the quarterly interest payments due and payable for the quarters ending June 30, 2024, September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2024. The Ninth amendment also

provides for up to $15.0 million in working capital for the Company, $5.0 million of which was drawn down, and the remaining $10.0 million of which remains available to the Company.

General provisions to the Amended Credit Agreements

The interest rate on the Subordinated Facility is 12.5% per annum and the interest rate on the Senior Facility is equal to SOFR plus a margin (which varies between 7.5% to 8.5% depending on the Senior Facility net leverage ratio) per annum, with accrued interest paid quarterly in arrears on the first business day of the subsequent quarter through the maturity date on September 3, 2028. Principal payments under the Senior Facility are payable quarterly, beginning April 1, 2025, based on a 10-year straight line amortization schedule, with the remaining unpaid balance under both the Senior Facility and the Subordinated Facility due on the September 3, 2028 maturity date.

In accordance with the Original Credit Agreements, the Company is required to have a debt service reserve account which is shown as restricted cash on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Fifth Amendment and Sixth Amendment, taken together, reduced the minimum balance to maintain in the debt service reserve account to $0 through March 31, 2025. From and after April 1, 2025, the minimum balance to maintain in the debt service reserve account will be increased to two quarters of scheduled interest payments and two quarters of scheduled principal payments.

The Amended Credit Agreements also contain certain financial covenants that become measurable and effective beginning in the third quarter of 2025, including debt coverage, net leverage, and interest coverage ratios. Additional covenants and other provisions exist that may limit or affect the timing of the Company's ability, among other things, to undergo a merger or consolidation, sell certain assets, create liens, guarantee certain obligations of third parties, make certain investments or acquisitions, and declare dividends or make distributions. The Facilities are secured with a first-priority lien against substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, including their intellectual property. The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants as of March 31, 2024 other than the financial covenant set forth in Section 6.8(g) of the Amended Credit Agreements, for which the Company obtained a permanent waiver from Cargill Financial for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

7. Fair Value Measurements

The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the accounting of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis according to the valuation techniques the Company uses to determine their fair value:


	March 31, 2024
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
	(in thousands)
Recurring fair value measurements
Assets:
Money market funds	$	14,607	$	—	$	—

Liabilities:
March 2023 Cargill Warrant Liability	$	—	$	—	$	11,394


	December 31, 2023
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
	(in thousands)
Recurring fair value measurements
Assets:
Money market funds	$	16,322	$	—	$	—

Liabilities:
March 2023 Cargill Warrant Liability	$	—	$	—	$	7,214

The fair value of the Company's money market funds is determined using quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets.

The fair value of the March 2023 Cargill Warrant Liability is determined using a Black-Scholes model. The following table presents changes in the Level 3 fair value measurement for the warrant liability on a recurring basis:


	March 31,
	2024
	(in thousands)
Balance as of December 31, 2023	$	7,214
Fair value measurement adjustments through other income (expense)	4,180
Balance as of March 31, 2024	$	11,394

The key inputs into the Black-Scholes model used to determine the fair value of the 2023 Cargill Warrant Liability were as follows at their measurement dates:


	March 31, 2024
Input
Share price	$	2.91
Risk-free interest rate	4.21%
Volatility	128%
Exercise price	$	6.50
Warrant life (years)	4.0
Dividend yield	—%

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated their respective fair values due to their short-term maturities. Therefore, no unrealized gains or losses were recorded during the periods presented. There were no transfers of financial instruments between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 during the periods presented.

Common Stock Purchase Warrant Amendment

On January 23, 2024, the Company entered into an Amendment to Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the "Warrant Amendment") with Cargill Financial to amend that certain Common Stock Purchase Warrant, dated March 28, 2023, issued by the Company to Cargill Financial (the "Original Warrant" and as amended, the "Warrant") to amend the exercise price under Section 2(b) thereunder from $13.00 to $6.50 per share of common stock. The impact of the reduced exercise price was included in the mark-to-market net change in fair value of the warrant liability during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The Original Warrant was issued by the Company to Cargill Financial to purchase up to 5,353,846 shares of common stock. Pursuant to the Warrant Amendment, the Warrant entitles Cargill Financial to purchase 5,353,846 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.50 per share.

8. Stock-Based Compensation

Restricted Common Stock Awards

A summary of the restricted common stock awards ("RSAs") for the three months ended March 31, 2024 is as follows:


	Number of Shares of Restricted Common Stock Awards	Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Unvested and outstanding at December 31, 2023	135,701	$	23.60

Vested	(52,193)	$	25.73
Unvested and outstanding at March 31, 2024	83,508	$	22.27

Total expense of RSAs was $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, the total compensation cost related to unvested RSAs not yet recognized is $0.4 million. Unvested RSA expense not yet recognized is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.8 years.

Restricted Stock Units

A summary of the restricted stock units ("RSUs") activity for the three months ended March 31, 2024 is as follows:


	Number of RSUs	Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Unvested and outstanding at December 31, 2023	689,837	$	47.43

Forfeited	(72,472)	$	59.14
Vested	(165,575)	$	59.94

Unvested and outstanding at March 31, 2024	451,790	$	40.94

Total (benefit) expense of RSUs, net of amounts capitalized, was $(1.2) million and $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, the total compensation cost related to unvested RSUs not yet recognized is $4.8 million. Unvested RSU expense not yet recognized is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years.

9. Net Loss Per Share

Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. In computing net loss per share, the Company's unvested restricted common stock and warrants are not considered participating securities. Diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 because the effects of potentially dilutive items were anti-dilutive given the Company's net loss. Diluted net loss per common share represents an adjustment to basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders giving effect to all potential common shares that were dilutive and outstanding during the period.

The following table sets forth the computation of the Company's net loss per share attributable to common stockholders:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	(in thousands, except share and per share data)
	2024		2023
Net loss	$	(24,050)	$	(23,527)
Weighted average common shares outstanding, basic and diluted	8,325,944		7,727,866
Net loss per common share, basic and diluted	$	(2.89)	$	(3.04)

The following table discloses the weighted-average shares outstanding of securities that could potentially dilute basic net loss per share in the future that were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share as the impact would be anti-dilutive:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024	2023
Restricted Stock	108,553	249,565
Warrants	6,241,475	1,125,578

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

The Company has and may become party to various legal proceedings and other claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company records a liability when it believes that it is probable that a loss will be incurred, and the amount of loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management is currently not aware of any matters that it expects will have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including the Notes to those statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the section entitled "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As discussed in more detail in the section entitled "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements," this discussion contains forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.

Our Mission and Vision

Our mission is to bring our farm to your kitchen. Our vision is to deliver the freshest, locally grown produce over the fewest food miles. We believe that happy plants make happy taste buds and we are committed to reimagining the standards of freshness. We also believe that local is the best kind of business, and we are committed to helping communities thrive for generations to come. We are committed to building empowered local teams.

Company Overview

Local Bounti is a controlled environment agriculture ("CEA") company that produces sustainably grown produce, focused today on living and loose leaf lettuce. Founded in 2018, and headquartered in Hamilton, Montana, Local Bounti utilizes its patented Stack & Flow Technology® to grow healthy food sustainably and affordably. Our proprietary process is a hybrid, utilizing vertical farming in early plant growth, followed by greenhouse farming for final grow out. We designed our Stack & Flow Technology® to give our products exactly what they need at every step of their growth cycle. Our goal is to grow in an environmentally sustainable manner that not only increases harvest efficiency and enhances unit economics, but also limits water usage and reduces the carbon footprint of the production and distribution process. Controlling the environmental conditions in both the 'Stack' and 'Flow' components of our growing system helps to ensure healthy, nutritious, consistent, and delicious products that are non-genetically modified organisms ("non-GMO"). We use 90% less water, 90% less land, and significantly less pesticides and herbicides than traditional outdoor agriculture operations.

Our first facility in Hamilton, Montana (the "Montana Facility") commenced construction in 2019 and reached full commercial operation by the second half of 2020. In 2021, we successfully completed the expansion of our Montana Facility, more than doubling our production capacity. The Montana Facility is currently used for commercial production, as well as research-and-development activities. In 2022, we acquired California-based complementary greenhouse farming company Hollandia Produce Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries, which operated under the name Pete's. Through the Pete's Acquisition, we significantly increased our growing footprint to include two then-existing facilities in California and one under-construction facility in Georgia. The Georgia facility initially became operational in July 2022 and was significantly expanded in 2023. In 2024, we completed construction on two new facilities in Texas and Washington, bringing our total facility count to six.

We distribute our products to over 13,000 retail locations across 35 U.S. states, primarily through direct relationships with blue-chip retail customers, including Albertsons, Sam's Club, Kroger, Target, Walmart, Whole Foods, and AmazonFresh. Our primary products include living butter lettuce – for which we are a leading provider with an approximate 80% share of the CEA market within the Western U.S. – as well as packaged leafy greens and cress. We are currently expanding distribution of our Grab & Go Salad Kits and are set to expand our baby leaf portfolio by introducing several high-velocity offerings including spinach, arugula, 50/50 blend and power greens by the third quarter of 2024. In October 2022, we signed an offtake agreement with Sam's Club for our leafy greens production initially starting at our greenhouse facility in Georgia. The offtake agreement provides for the sale of defined minimum quantities of leafy greens from certain facilities and runs through September 2028.

We intend to continue to increase our production capacity and expand our reach to new markets, new geographies, and new customers through the building of new facilities, the expansion of existing facilities, or the acquisition of existing greenhouse facilities, which we would evaluate to update with our Stack & Flow Technology®. We conduct an ongoing build-versus-buy analysis whenever we decide to build a new facility or acquire an existing facility. We also continue to explore expanding our product offerings to new varieties of fresh greens, herbs, berries, and other produce. Additionally, we evaluate commercial opportunities as part of these expansion efforts on an ongoing basis.

Commercial Facility Expansion Update

Byron, Georgia Facility Continues to Operate at Heightened Levels of Production

In the first quarter, we increased production by an additional 50% compared to December 2023, which equates to production that is approximately three times that of a year ago, and this has continued through April of 2024. We recently initiated a scaled trial for a differentiated use of our Stack towers that have in a smaller trial demonstrated a further yield increase of at least 10% beyond what is currently being achieved. We expect to receive those results later in the second quarter of 2024. We are focused on satisfying existing demand from retailers across the southeastern U.S. In March of 2024, the Company delivered its first shipment of Spinach to customers from the Georgia facility.

Commissioning at Mount Pleasant, TX and Pasco, WA Facilities; Shipping First Product to Customers

We commenced operations and test seeding at both the Texas and Washington facilities in late January of 2024 and we are shipping our first product to customers in the second quarter. The Texas facility fortifies our distribution in markets across Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Kansas, and Missouri. The Washington facility bolsters our distribution capabilities in the Pacific Northwest to serve our expanding retail customer base.

Capacity Expansion at Existing Facilities in 2024

Plans remain underway to build additional capacity across our network of facilities enabled with our Stack & Flow Technology®. The locations and degree of expansion will be announced at a future date, but construction is currently anticipated to begin late in the second quarter of 2024, subject to the closing of the CCLs from a commercial finance lender discussed in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of this Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The planned expansions are designed to provide additional capacity and allow for our growing product assortment to meet existing demand from our direct relationships with blue-chip retailers and distributors. The planned expansions are designed to provide additional capacity and allow for our growing product assortment to meet existing demand from our direct relationships with blue-chip retailers and distributors.

Next Facility to be Opened in the Midwest

We are planning our next high-tech Stack & Flow facility to be built in the Midwestern U.S. The region is in close proximity to existing customers' distribution networks and will support growing retail demand for our products, improve service to retail partners throughout the Midwest, and also provide improved access to the Northeast. We expect to name the future location following completion of negotiations and are targeting construction to begin in the third quarter of 2024. This future facility is expected to comprise a six-acre greenhouse that is supported by multiple Stack zones.

Hamilton, Montana Facility to Transition from R&D to Commercial Production

The transition of the Montana Facility from a research and development focus to a commercially oriented focus growing produce for sale to customers is on track for mid-year completion. This transition will follow the capacity enhancements brought about by the completion of the Georgia facility and the commencement of operations at both Texas and Washington and is expected to help drive us toward our goal of achieving positive adjusted EBITDA in early 2025.

Product Development & Distribution

Starting in the second quarter of 2024, we expect to expand distribution of our Grab-and-Go Salad Kits to customers throughout the Pacific Northwest and Southern United States, which will include approximately 700 doors of incremental distribution to our current footprint and include four unique flavor offerings: Artisanal Chicken Caesar, Memphis Inspired Chicken, Sweet Poppy Power, and Modern Greek Style.

We are set to expand our baby leaf assortment in the third quarter of 2024 by introducing several high-velocity offerings including Arugula, Baby Spinach & Spring Mix Blend, and Power Greens. While we are still scaling up these products, we are pleased to have delivered our first shipment of Spinach to customers in March of 2024 out of the Georgia facility.

Factors Affecting Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations

We have expended, and we expect to continue to expend, substantial resources as we:

•complete construction and commissioning of new and expanded facilities;

•standardize operating and manufacturing processes across our facilities;

•identify and invest in future growth opportunities, including new product lines;

•invest in product innovation and development;

•invest in sales and marketing efforts to increase brand awareness, engage customers and drive sales of our products; and

•incur additional general administration expenses, including increased expenses associated with growing operations.

The following sections discuss and analyze the changes in the significant line items in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the comparative periods in the table above.

Sales

We derive our revenue from the sale of produce grown at our facilities. Sales increased by $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to increased production and growth in sales from our facility in Georgia.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold is the direct cost of growing produce for sale at our greenhouse facilities, including labor costs, which consists of wages, salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation, seeds, soil, nutrients and other input supplies, packaging materials, depreciation, utilities and other manufacturing overhead. We expect that, over time, cost of goods sold will decrease as a percentage of sales, as a result of scaling our business.

Cost of goods sold increased by $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, due primarily to increased production and sales of $1.7 million.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs related to research and development of our production, harvesting, and post-harvest packaging methods, techniques, and processes, as well as production surplus costs related to the development and testing of our production processes. Our research and development efforts are focused on the development of our processes utilizing our facilities, increasing production yields, developing new leafy green SKUs and value-added products such as grab-and-go salads, and exploring new crops, including spinach, arugula, and berries. We expect that as our facilities continue to scale that research and development expenses will decrease significantly in 2024 and beyond as a result of the establishment of our growing process. Research and development is performed at the Montana and Georgia facilities, where we continue to develop our commercial scale Stack & Flow Technology® and processes for implementation at our other facilities. We expect to transition in 2024 the majority of our Montana Facility from its current focus on research and development to a commercially oriented facility that is growing produce for sale to customers. This transition will follow the capacity enhancements brought about by the completion of our Georgia facility and the commencement of operations at both the Texas and Washington facilities and is expected to help drive us toward our goal of achieving positive adjusted EBITDA in early 2025.

Research and development costs decreased by $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. As explained above, as the Georgia facility has been completed and operations have commenced at both the Texas and Washington facilities, there has been a resulting decrease of investment in personnel, materials, supplies, and facility capacity devoted to research and development. However, we continue to incur costs for the development of our production, harvesting, and post-harvest packaging techniques and processes, including production surplus costs related to the development and testing of our commercial scale Stack & Flow Technology and production processes at the Georgia facility.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general, and administrative expenses consist of employee compensation, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation for our executive, legal, finance, information technology, human resources and sales and marketing teams, expenses for third-party professional services, insurance, marketing, advertising, computer hardware and software, and amortization of intangible assets, among others. We expect selling, general, and administrative expenses to decrease significantly in 2024 due primarily to expected salary cost savings of approximately $5.0 million on an annualized basis as a result of our recent actions to streamline our organizational structure.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased by $8.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily related to a $6.2 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense that was a result of prior year awards that were issued at a higher fair value, as compared to the fair value of awards being expensed in the current period, that fully vested and expensed in the prior quarter. In addition, stock-based compensation resulted in a net benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2024 due to forfeitures of RSU awards in the current period that were granted at significantly higher grant-date fair values than the RSU awards currently being expensed. Additional decreases as compared to the prior year period were a $1.2 million decrease in legal, accounting, and professional consulting fees, and a $0.7 million decrease in depreciation and amortization.

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability

The change in fair value of warrant liability includes the mark-to-market adjustments to the warrant liability to reflect its fair value as of the end of the reporting period. The increase in fair value of the warrant liability is primarily due to the increase in our closing stock price at March 31, 2024 compared to the closing stock price on the prior measurement date of December 31, 2023. The period-end close stock price is a key input to the Black-Scholes model we use to measure and estimate the fair value of the warrant at the end of each reporting period.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense consists primarily of contractual interest and amortization of debt issuance costs, net of interest capitalized for construction assets, related to the loans from Cargill Financial and also interest recognized per the terms of our financing obligation related to the Montana Facility and the California Facilities. We capitalize interest costs on borrowings during the construction period of major construction projects as part of the cost of the constructed assets.

Interest expense, net increased by $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase is primarily due to an increase in the principal amount outstanding on the Senior Facility, and, to a lesser extent, a variable rate increase on the Senior Facility period over period, both of which increased interest expense by $4.4 million over the prior year period. Also contributing to the net increase was $0.9 million of incremental interest expense for the financing obligations related to the California Facilities. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we capitalized $5.7 million and $2.1 million of interest, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have incurred losses and generated negative cash flows from operations since our inception. At March 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $327.4 million and cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $14.7 million.

The Facilities with Cargill Financial contain various financial and non-financial covenants and certain restrictions on our business, which include restrictions on additional indebtedness, minimum liquidity and other financial covenants, and material adverse effects, that could cause us to be at risk of default. A failure to comply with the covenants and other provisions of these debt instruments, including any failure to make payments when required, would generally result in events of default under such instruments, which could result in the acceleration of a substantial portion of such indebtedness.

The CEA business is capital-intensive. Currently, our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources are cash on hand, cash flows generated from the sale of our products, and the Facilities with Cargill Financial. Cash expenditures over the next 12 months are expected to include general operating costs for employee wages and related benefits, outside services for legal, accounting, IT infrastructure, and costs associated with growing, harvesting and selling our products, such as the purchase of seeds, soil, nutrients and other growing supplies, shipping and fulfillment costs, and facility maintenance costs.

The Ninth Amendment to the credit facilities with Cargill Financial, as described in Note 6, Debt, of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, allows for the payment in kind of the quarterly interest payments due and payable for the quarters ending June 30, 2024, September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2024. The Ninth Amendment also provides for up to $15.0 million in working capital for the Company, $5.0 million of which has been drawn down, and the remaining $10.0 million of which remains available to the Company as of March 31, 2024. In addition, the Company expects to close in the second quarter of 2024 on the four previously disclosed CCLs from a commercial finance lender that were executed in the second half of 2023. Together, the CCLs will provide financing of approximately $228 million to fund its 2024 facility expansions, its new greenfield facility in the Midwest, and to repay certain existing construction financing which will lower the Company’s cost of capital. The funding expected pursuant to the CCLs is subject to the completion of definitive documents and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

The Company believes that the remaining $10.0 million of working capital from Cargill Financial, the $228 million from a commercial finance lender, the Company's current cash position, cash generated from product sales, and anticipated additional deferrals of future cash interest and principal payments under the Company's credit facilities with Cargill Financial will be adequate to fund the Company’s planned operations over the next 12 months from the issuance of these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

We also believe additional cash can be secured through other debt, equity financings, or sale leaseback financing, if necessary. However, there can be no assurance that equity or debt financing will be available to us should we need it or, if available, that the terms will be satisfactory to us and not dilutive to existing shareholders. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including those set forth in Part I, Item 1A of the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our failure to raise capital as and when needed could have significant negative consequences for our business, financial condition and results of consolidated operations.

Cargill Loans

In September 2021, the Company and Cargill Financial entered into the Senior Facility and the Subordinated Facility. Subsequent to the amendments described in Note 6, Debt, of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Cargill Financial may in its discretion provide advances under the Facilities of up to $343.5 million (plus paid-in-kind interest and fees), including capital to fund construction at the Company’s facilities in Georgia, Texas, and Washington, subject to certain conditions. As of March 31, 2024, a total of $317.6 million and $49.7 million was outstanding on the Senior Facility and the Subordinated Facility, respectively. The Senior Facility and the Subordinated Facility are included in "Long-term debt" on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

At March 31, 2024, our principal and estimated interest payment obligations for the Senior Facility and the Subordinated Facility are as follows(1):


(in thousands)
Remainder of 2024	$	37,550
2025	77,608
2026	86,788
2027	86,788
2028	303,325

Total	$	592,059

_____________________

(1) Interest is calculated based on a 12.5% interest rate for the Subordinated Facility and a 13.81% interest rate for the Senior Facility effective as of April 1, 2024.

Financing Obligations

We have two financing obligations related to sale leaseback transactions that did not qualify for sales treatment of the underlying assets.

Net Cash Used In Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 due to a net loss of $24.1 million and an increase in other assets of $2.9 million.

Net cash used in operating activities was $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 due to a net loss of $23.5 million. This was partially offset by non-cash activities of $6.0 million in stock-based compensation expense, net of amounts capitalized, $1.8 million in depreciation expense, and $1.7 million in amortization expense. Additional offset was due to $5.2 million net increase of cash from changes in assets and liabilities.

Net Cash Used In Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $35.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, due primarily to purchases of construction materials and services, equipment, and other items for the Washington and Texas facilities.

Limitations on effectiveness of control and procedures

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended March 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the "Annual Financial Statements") as filed with the SEC. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly present its financial position as of March 31, 2024, its results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, and its stockholders' (deficit) equity for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024 or any future period. The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2023 was derived from the Annual Financial Statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the Annual Financial Statements. Liquidity The Company has incurred losses and generated negative cash flows from operations since its inception. At March 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $327.4 million and cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $14.7 million. The Ninth Amendment to the credit facilities with Cargill Financial, as described in Note 6, Debt, allows for the payment in kind of the quarterly interest payments due and payable for the quarters ending June 30, 2024, September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2024. The Ninth Amendment also provides for up to $15.0 million in working capital for the Company, $5.0 million of which has been drawn down, and the remaining $10.0 million of which remains available to the Company as of March 31, 2024. In addition, the Company expects to close in the second quarter of 2024 on the four previously disclosed Conditional Commitment Letters ("CCLs") from a commercial finance lender that were executed in the second half of 2023. Together, the CCLs will provide financing of approximately $228 million to fund its 2024 facility expansions, its new greenfield facility in the Midwest, and to repay certain existing construction financing which will lower the Company’s cost of capital. The funding expected pursuant to the CCLs is subject to the completion of definitive documents and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Company believes that the additional $10.0 million of working capital from Cargill Financial, the $228 million from a commercial finance lender, the Company's current cash position, cash generated from product sales, and anticipated additional deferrals of future cash interest and principal payments under the Company's credit facilities with Cargill Financial will be adequate to fund the Company’s planned operations over the next 12 months from the issuance of these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company also believes additional cash can be secured through other debt or equity financings, if necessary. However, there can be no assurance that equity or debt financing will be available to the Company should it need it or, if available, that the terms will be satisfactory to the Company and not dilutive to existing shareholders. The Company's failure to raise capital as and when needed could have significant negative consequences for its business, financial condition and results of consolidated operations. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with liability and equity characteristics, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The standard reduces the number of models used to account for convertible instruments, removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, and requires the if-converted method for calculation of diluted earnings per share for all convertible instruments. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2024. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. . Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), which requires disclosure of specific categories and disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation table. The ASU also requires disclosure of disaggregated information related to income taxes paid, income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit, and income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations. The standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
