In parallel, the Company plans to discontinue three brands, while trimming the SKU assortment across its remaining portfolio in Fiscal 2027. Investment will be concentrated behind the Company’s three core brands, SHRED, BOXHOT and Big Bag O’ Buds. A simpler portfolio is expected to reduce manufacturing complexity, working capital and overhead costs, and support further gross margin improvement.
