cbdMD Reports 19% YoY Revenue Growth In Q2, Narrows Net Loss Despite Acquisition-Related Costs

By Jelena Martinovic, Featured Writer

cbdMD, Inc. (NYSE: YCBD) announced on Thursday that its second-quarter revenue reached $5.6 million, representing a 19% year-over-year increase and a 12% sequential increase.

The company said core business revenue was the company’s highest quarterly level since the first quarter of fiscal 2024. That’s excluding Bluebird acquisition impact, according to the company’s press release.

The Bluebird Botanicals acquisition, wrapped up in January 2026, is integrating on schedule, the company said, adding the brand became profitable in March and is expected to contribute further revenue and earnings growth in upcoming quarters.

Ronan Kennedy, the company’s CEO and CFO, said the second quarter saw “meaningful execution on multiple fronts.”

“Our core business delivered another quarter of consistent growth, and we completed and integrated our first acquisition in years,” Kennedy stated. “The Bluebird Botanicals acquisition is a case study for what we can do — leveraging our infrastructure, marketing engine, and NYSE American listing to unlock value in a fragmented industry — and it sets the template for additional roll-up opportunities across hemp and adjacent health and wellness categories.”
