Local Bounti Corporation reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2026, revealing a revenue increase of 14% to $13.9 million compared to $12.1 million in the same period last year. For the first half of 2026, revenue rose 15% to $27.2 million from $23.7 million in the prior year. Despite the revenue growth, the company experienced a net loss of $19.8 million for the quarter, a slight improvement from a loss of $21.6 million in Q2 2025. The net loss for the first half of 2026 was $32.5 million, significantly reduced from $59.3 million in the same period last year.
The company’s cost of goods sold (COGS) also increased, rising 20% to $12.8 million for the second quarter and 18% to $24.6 million for the first half of 2026. This increase in COGS was attributed to ramped-up production at its facilities in Georgia, Texas, and Washington. Local Bounti's gross profit for the second quarter decreased by 29% to $1.0 million, while the gross profit for the first half fell 12% to $2.6 million, reflecting the rising costs associated with increased production.
In terms of operational developments, Local Bounti has expanded its distribution network to approximately 13,000 retail locations across 35 states, including partnerships with major retailers such as Walmart and Kroger. The company is also relaunching its Single Serve Salad Kit line in 400 stores in the Mid-Atlantic region, which is expected to drive future growth. Additionally, Local Bounti has made significant investments in its facilities to enhance production efficiency, including upgrades that have improved yield capacity.
The company’s financial position remains challenging, with an accumulated deficit of $550.1 million as of June 30, 2026. Local Bounti has been actively managing its debt, with a total principal amount of $302.8 million outstanding under its credit facility with Cargill Financial. In August 2026, the company secured an additional $12.5 million through a convertible note and warrant agreement with U.S. Bounti, LLC, which is expected to support its operations for at least the next 12 months. Looking ahead, Local Bounti aims to continue expanding its production capacity and product offerings while navigating the complexities of its financial obligations and market conditions.
