Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Executive summary
Service diversification and growth in pork, dairy, egg, non-GMO, gluten-free, organic, and upcycled certifications offset declines in core beef verification due to smaller herd sizes and tariffs, maintaining revenue stability in a challenging macro and industry environment.
Third-party food verification services remain the core business, supporting over 17,500 clients across North America, with continued focus on ESG and human capital initiatives.
Customer retention rates remained above 90%, supporting revenue stability.
The company experienced seasonal and cyclical impacts, with the cattle industry in a contraction phase affecting revenue streams.
Inclusion in Time Magazine's America's Growth Leaders 2026 ranking highlights industry leadership and innovation.
Financial highlights
Q3 total revenue was $7.0 million, down $92,000 year-over-year; nine-month revenue was $18.85 million, slightly down from $19.08 million.
Net income for Q3 rose to $1.1 million ($0.22/share) from $0.5 million ($0.09/share), aided by a $946,000 gain from the Progressive Beef sale; nine-month net income increased to $1.74 million ($0.34/share) from $1.16 million ($0.21/share).
Verification and certification segment revenue for Q3 grew 1% to $5.6 million; nine months: $15.07 million, nearly flat year-over-year.
Hardware/product sales declined to $1.2 million in Q3 from $1.3 million; professional services revenue also saw slight declines.
Cash and cash equivalents at quarter-end were $4.8 million, up from $2.0 million at 2024 year-end.
Outlook and guidance
Management expects continued resilience and growth opportunities through diversification, bundling, and potential acquisitions, driven by consumer demand for verified food attributes.
Expectation of slow recovery in herd sizes, with supply likely to increase after another year, but uncertainty remains due to generational turnover, drought, and trade issues.
Ongoing innovation with new services and AI initiatives aimed at efficiency and customer engagement.
The company believes its capital resources and cash flow are sufficient to finance current operations and future growth.
Forward-looking statements caution about risks from tariffs, herd size cycles, and macroeconomic factors.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
