• Reported 2025 revenue of $24.9 million and net income of $1.5 million ($0.30/share), but Q4 was materially hurt by the unexpected closure of a packing plant that reduced beef certification activity; executives returned bonuses, producing a planned reduction to SG&A compensation that will benefit the Q1 10?Q.
• The U.S. cattle supply is at a 70-year low, driving record beef prices and prompting some ranchers to cut back on verifications and tag purchases, which has depressed beef-related revenue and tag sales.
• Launched RaiseWell Certified, a new animal-care and traceability standard, and secured Whole Foods as the first major retailer adopter, with rollouts planned across beef, poultry, eggs, dairy, and pork.
• Deepening strategic positioning via the CARE Certified leather program with Pangea (in partnership with Walmart/Prime Pursuits) and by having IMI Global administer U.S. CattleTrace, strengthening the company’s role in animal disease traceability and regulatory engagement.
• Non-beef verifications (pork, dairy, eggs, organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, upcycled) grew year-over-year, the company’s bundled service model supports margin improvement, and management repurchased 183,016 shares in 2025 (total buybacks to date: 1,374,652 shares, $15.2 million) with repurchases expected to continue in 2026.
