Losses Still Meaningful At US$11.9 Million Over The Year

• On a trailing twelve month basis, BRCC recorded a net income loss of US$11.9 million and basic EPS of US$0.13 loss, compared with a Q4 2025 quarterly loss of US$3.2 million and EPS of US$0.03 loss.
• Consensus narrative talks about profit margins moving from a 2.9% loss today to a 3.1% profit in three years, and these current losses are the starting point for that shift.
  • Trailing revenue of US$398.3 million against an US$11.9 million loss lines up with the view that the business is already close to break even in margin terms, but not there yet.
  • At the same time, the company has reduced losses by an average of 15.6% per year over the past five years, which is consistent with the idea that margin improvement is a gradual process rather than an overnight flip.

Revenue Near US$400 Million And Forecast Double Digit Growth

• BRCC’s trailing twelve month revenue sits at US$398.3 million, and analysts forecast revenue growth of about 10.5% per year, with bullish models using roughly 14% annual growth and targeting US$580.0 million to US$587.3 million by 2028.
• Bulls argue that faster shelf expansion and Black Rifle Energy could drive stronger growth than consensus, and the current numbers give them some footing but also a hurdle.
  • Quarterly revenue has ranged from US$89.97 million in Q1 2025 to US$112.7 million in Q4 2025, while trailing revenue has hovered just under US$400 million. Bulls therefore need that trend to continue if they want to support a US$2.50 price target.
  • To line up with the bullish case, you would be comparing today’s US$398.3 million trailing revenue and US$11.9 million loss to their 2028 assumption of US$587.3 million revenue and US$20.3 million earnings. This is a sizable gap that future results will have to bridge.

Low 0.2x P/S Versus Cash Runway Risk

• BRCC is trading on a P/S of 0.2x versus peers at 1.4x and the US Food industry at 0.8x, while at the same time facing a cash runway of less than one year and ongoing losses of US$11.9 million over the last twelve months.
• Bears focus on that short cash runway and heavy reliance on big retail partners, and the current numbers give some weight to those worries.
  • The combination of sub 1 year cash runway and shareholder dilution over the past year shows the company has already leaned on equity to support operations. This is exactly the type of funding pressure critics point to.
  • For skeptics, the low 0.2x P/S and a current share price of US$0.81 are not automatically a bargain, because they sit alongside energy drink and coffee competition, margin pressure from tariffs and input costs, and the need to move from a US$11.9 million loss toward the US$20.1 million earnings bears still assume by 2028.
