Separately, Innovative Food Holdings released its third-quarter 2025 financial results, which presented mixed signals about the business's near-term trajectory. Quarterly revenue totaled $16.4 million, an increase of 3.5% compared with the same period the prior year. Despite this top-line growth, adjusted EBITDA contracted to $321,000 from $1.0 million in the year-ago quarter. The company and observers cited the decline in adjusted EBITDA as evidence of difficulties in sustaining profitability.

Those financial dynamics were described against a backdrop of broader market conditions that are influencing the company’s performance. The juxtaposition of modest revenue expansion and a marked reduction in adjusted EBITDA frames a period of challenge for the company as it aims to stabilize margins in coming quarters. Investors and market participants are likely to monitor subsequent results and disclosures to assess whether the company can restore or improve profitability.

No additional statements or explanations for the insider sales or the quarterly results were provided in the information reviewed.
