Where Food Comes From, Inc. Reports Second Quarter Financial Results

Second Quarter Highlights – 2026 vs. 2025

Six-Month Highlights – 2026 vs. 2025

CASTLE ROCK, Colo., Aug. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Where Food Comes From, Inc. (WFCF) (Nasdaq: WFCF), the most trusted resource for independent, third-party verification of food production practices in North America, today announced financial results for its second quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2026.

“We are pleased to report another quarter of modest revenue growth and solid profitability despite continued economic and industry headwinds,” said John Saunders, Chairman and CEO. “Pressure on our beef business related to record high beef prices and smaller herd sizes has been largely offset by growing consumer demand for premium verified beef products and our introduction of RaiseWell® Certified, a new standard that addresses consumer and retailer demand for responsibly raised proteins. Adopted by Whole Foods Market as an approved animal welfare certification for its beef supply, the RaiseWell program is showing solid growth with more than 270,000 head of cattle now enrolled. In addition, our non-beef verification programs – including non-GMO, Gluten Free, Organic, Upcycled and others – continue to grow and augment our traditional beef revenue streams.

“Total revenue grew 1% in the second quarter but gross profit grew by 9% due to cost efficiencies in all three business segments, which resulted in gross margins of 40.6% in Q2, up from 37.5% in the same quarter last year. Operating income increased 21% year over year to $665,000 from $549,000. We experienced a non-cash negative swing of $240,000 in fair market value of our digital assets in Q2, which lowered reported net income to $413,000, or $0.08 per share, compared to net income of $562,000, or $0.11 per share, in the same quarter last year. Finally, we continued to aggressively buy back our shares in the quarter and are pleased to report that since 2019 we have returned more than $17 million in value to stockholders through buybacks and a special dividend.”

Second Quarter Results – 2026 vs. 2025

Total revenue in the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, increased 1% to $6,611,000 from $6,562,000

Gross profit in the second quarter increased 9% to $2,683,000 compared to $2,460,000 in the same quarter last year.

Operating income increased 21% quarter-over-quarter to $665,000 from $549,000 due to improved gross margins across all three revenue streams.

The Company reported net income in the second quarter of $413,000, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to net income of $562,000, or $0.11 per diluted share, in the same quarter last year. The decline was primarily attributable a non-cash $240,000 negative swing in fair market value of digital assets. The year-ago second quarter also included $50,000 in dividend income related to the ownership interest in Progressive Beef that was divested in 2025.

The Company bought back 65,012 shares of its common stock in the second quarter, resulting in $809,000 in value returned to stockholders in the period.

SG&A expense decreased to $3,763,000 from $3,964,000, reflecting management’s first quarter decision to return approximately $400,000 in 2025 bonus compensation.

As a result of that transaction as well as improved first quarter margins, operating income through six months increased 39% to $963,000 from $691,000.

Net income through six months was $505,000, or $0.10 per diluted share, vs. net income of $593,000, or $0.11 per diluted share, in the same period last year. The decline reflected a non-cash $299,000 negative swing in fair market value of digital assets.

The Company generated $1,460,000 in cash from operations year-to-date, down from $1,813,000 in the comparable period last year.
