GrowGeneration's Q2 2026 net sales rise 5.5% year over year to $43.2 million, and adjusted EBITDA turns positive at $0.3 million versus a $1.3 million loss a year earlier. The company raises full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance to $2 million to $3 million.

  • Operators: Demand for cultivation supplies is growing for a third straight quarter. Proprietary brands reach 39.7% of Cultivation & Gardening sales, up from 32%, suggesting growers are open to supplier own-brand products.
  • Investors: Operating expenses fall 13.1% to $14.7 million and net loss narrows to $2 million from $4.8 million. Gross margin is nearly flat at 28.5%, so the improvement comes from cost cuts, not pricing.
  • Do now: Compare your current supplier pricing against own-brand alternatives in your cultivation supply mix, and check whether they could lower costs without affecting your crop needs.

Cannabis ancillary company GrowGeneration Corp. (NASDAQ: GRWG) announced on Tuesday financial results for the second quarter of 2026, revealing that profitability is improving.

According to the company’s SEC filing, adjusted EBITDA moved from a $1.3 million loss in the second quarter of 2025 to a $0.3 million gain. That’s a year-over-year improvement of $1.6 million.

“All of this contributed to GrowGen achieving positive Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter,” Lampert said. “Our performance reflects the continued expansion of our commercial platform, the benefits of our streamlined cost structure, and disciplined execution against our strategic initiatives.”
