HF Foods Group Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 - Organization and Description of Business

Organization and General

HF Foods Group Inc., headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, operating through our subsidiaries (collectively “HF Foods” or the “Company”) is a marketer and distributor of fresh produce, frozen and dry food, and non-food products to Asian restaurants, as well as other foodservice customers, throughout the United States. With multiple distribution centers located throughout the nation, HF Foods supplies Asian cuisine through its relationships with growers and suppliers of food products in North America, South America and Asia. The Company’s business consists of operating segment, which is also its reportable segment: HF Foods, which operates solely in the United States, offers specialty restaurant foods and supplies to its customers.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), regarding interim financial reporting. All adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto that are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on March 16, 2026 (our “2025 Annual Report”). There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies as compared to the significant accounting policies described in our 2025 Annual Report.

All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. For consolidated entities where we own or are exposed to less than 100% of the economics, the Company records net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests in its condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) equal to the percentage of the economic or ownership interest retained in such entity by the respective noncontrolling party.

Noncontrolling Interests

GAAP requires that noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries and affiliates be reported in the equity section of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the amounts attributable to the net income (loss) of those noncontrolling interests are reported separately in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

On March 1, 2026, the Company acquired an 18.99% ownership interest in its consolidated subsidiary, Min Food, Inc. (“Min Food”), from two investors for total consideration of approximately million. Following the completion of this transaction, the Company’s ownership interest in Min Food increased from 60.25% to 79.24%, and the noncontrolling interest decreased from 39.75% to 20.76%. Because the Company maintained a controlling financial interest in Min Food both before and after the transaction, this acquisition was accounted for as an equity transaction in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation. No gain or loss was recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, noncontrolling interest equity consisted of the following:

($ in thousands)Ownership ofnoncontrolling interest at June 30, 2026June 30, 2026December 31, 2025
Min Food, Inc.20.76%$686$1,173
Monterey Food Service, LLC35.00%361362
Total

Uses of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during each reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the

Company’s consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, inventory reserves, impairment of long-lived assets, and impairment of goodwill.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements not yet Adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The guidance requires additional disclosure of certain amounts included in the expense captions presented on the Statement of Operations as well as disclosures about selling expenses. This guidance is effective on a prospective basis, with the option for retrospective application, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s financial statement disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. This standard is intended to improve the operability and application of guidance related to capitalized software development costs. The guidance becomes effective on a prospective basis, with the option for modified prospective or retrospective application, for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim periods in those annual periods. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s financial statement disclosures.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270). This new standard clarifies interim reporting guidance, develops a list of disclosures required by other Topics and intends to enhance consistency in interim reporting across entities. The standard allows for early adoption and becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s interim financial statement disclosures.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, Codification Improvements. This update addresses a broad range of topics including technical corrections, unintended applications of the codifications, clarifications of certain items, and other minor improvements. The ASU is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s financial statement disclosures.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. This standard amends ASC 326-20 to provide a practical expedient related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under ASC 606. The Company adopted this guidance prospectively effective January 1, 2026 and elected the practical expedient provided thereunder. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 - Revenue

The following table presents the Company’s net revenue disaggregated by principal product categories:

The Company changed its methodology of how it assigns certain food products to its Asian Specialty, Commodity and other categories in the current period. Prior period amounts have not been adjusted to reflect changes in the methodology for allocating certain food products to the product categories as recasting such prior period amounts was impracticable. As a result, comparability between periods may be affected.

Assets:
Interest rate swaps$283$283$241$241
Liabilities:
Interest rate swaps$77$77$1,607$1,607

The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurement which clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

  • Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
  • Level 2 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
  • Level 3 - Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about what assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.

Any transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy will be recognized at the end of the reporting period in which the transfer occurs. There were no transfers between fair value levels in any of the periods presented herein.

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, checks issued not presented for payment and accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate their fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

See Note 7 - Derivative Financial Instruments for additional information regarding the Company’s interest rate swaps.

Carrying Value and Estimated Fair Value of Outstanding Debt - The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s outstanding debt as described in Note 8 - Long-Term Debt, including the current portion, as of the dates indicated:

(In thousands)June 30, 2026Fair Value MeasurementsLevel 1Fair Value MeasurementsLevel 2Fair Value MeasurementsLevel 3Carrying Value
Fixed rate debt:

Variable rate debt:
JPMorgan Chase$96,023$96,023
Bank of America$1,930$1,930
East West Bank$5,331$5,331

The carrying value of the variable rate debt approximates its fair value because of the variability of interest rates associated with these instruments. For the Company’s fixed rate debt, the fair values were estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

See Note 8 - Long-Term Debt for additional information regarding the Company’s debt.

Nonrecurring Fair Values

The Company measures fair value of certain assets on a nonrecurring basis when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable.

We performed a quantitative goodwill impairment analysis as of December 31, 2025. The results of testing as of December 31, 2025 concluded that the estimated fair value of our reporting unit fell short of carrying value, and therefore impairment existed as of that date. A goodwill impairment charge of million was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2025, which resulted in the full impairment of our remaining goodwill balance. The calculation of the fair value of our reporting unit was determined using Level 3 fair value measurements due to its use of internal projections and unobservable measurement inputs.

There were no assets carried at nonrecurring fair value at June 30, 2026. There were no assets carried at nonrecurring fair value other than goodwill as of December 31, 2025.

Note 7 - Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative Instruments

The Company utilizes interest rate swaps (“IRS”) for the sole purpose of mitigating interest rate fluctuation risk associated with floating rate debt instruments (as defined in Note 8 - Long-Term Debt). The Company does not use any other derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

On August 20, 2019, HF Foods entered into two IRS contracts with East West Bank (the “EWB IRS”) for initial notional amounts of $1.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively. On April 20, 2023, the Company amended the corresponding mortgage term loans, which pegged the mortgage term loans to 1-month Term SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate) + 2.29% per annum for the remaining duration of the term loans. The amended EWB IRS contracts fixed the term loans at 4.23% per annum until maturity in September 2029.

On December 19, 2019, HF Foods entered into an IRS contract with Bank of America (the “BOA IRS”) for an initial notional amount of $2.7 million in conjunction with a newly contracted mortgage term loan of corresponding amount. On December 19, 2021, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to Loan Agreement, which pegged the mortgage term loan to Term SOFR + 2.50%. The BOA IRS was modified accordingly to fix the SOFR based loan to approximately 4.50%. The term loan and corresponding BOA IRS contract mature in December 2029.

On March 15, 2023, the Company entered into an amortizing IRS contract with JPMorgan Chase for an initial notional amount of $120.0 million, effective from March 1, 2023 and expiring in March 2028, as a means to partially hedge its existing floating rate loans exposure. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company will pay the swap counterparty a fixed rate of 4.11% in exchange for floating payments based on Term SOFR.

The Company evaluated the aforementioned IRS contracts currently in place and did not designate those as cash flow hedges. Hence, the fair value changes of these IRS contracts are accounted for and recognized as a change in fair value of interest rate swap contracts in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

As of June 30, 2026, the Company determined that the fair values of the IRS contracts were $0.3 million in an asset position and million in a liability position. As of December 31, 2025, the fair values of the IRS contracts were million in an asset position and million in a liability position. The Company includes these in other long-term assets and other long-term liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets.

Credit Facility

On March 31, 2022, the Company entered into the Third Amended Credit Agreement extending the Revolving Facility for five years, with a maturity date of March 31, 2027. The Third Amended Credit Agreement provides for a $100.0 million asset-secured revolving credit facility with a one-month SOFR plus a credit adjustment of 0.1% plus 1.375% per annum. On February 6, 2024, the Company amended the Third Amended Credit Agreement to (i) remove a cap on permitted indebtedness in respect of capital lease obligations, subject to certain enumerated conditions; (ii) create a reserve on the borrowing base, which will be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis once the Company has made expenditures in excess of such amount relating to the development and construction of certain real property, and which amounts shall be excluded from certain financial covenants under the Third Amended Credit Agreement and; (iii) remove certain sublease income from various financial covenants. On July 15, 2024, the Company again amended the Third Amended Credit Agreement to (i) increase the issuing bank sublimit to $10.0 million and; (ii) modify the due date for a borrowing base certificate based on availability under the revolving credit facility.

On February 12, 2025, the Company entered into a Joinder and Amendment no. 4 to the Third Amended Credit Agreement, which revised certain terms by, among other things, (i) increasing the Revolving Commitment (as defined in the Credit Agreement) from $100.0 million to $125.0 million, (ii) joining three new subsidiaries of the Company to the Credit Agreement, each as a “Borrower” thereunder, (iii) joining Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. to the credit agreement as a “Lender” thereunder, (iv) amending certain affirmative covenants commensurate with the increase in the Revolving Facility, and (v) amending certain restrictions regarding incurring obligations under real property leases and equipment financings in the ordinary course of business.

On March 30, 2026, the Company entered into a Joinder and Amendment no. 5 (the “Fifth Amendment”) to the Third Amended Credit Agreement, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, and certain other lender parties thereto, to revise the Third Amended Credit Agreement. The Fifth Amendment revises the credit agreement to (i) extend the maturity date of the credit facility to the earlier of March 31, 2031 or certain other dates subject to conditions specified in the agreement; (ii) amend the interest rate to be based upon the one month SOFR plus a fixed spread based upon the daily availability of the aggregate revolving commitment; and (iii) add HF Atlanta, LLC as an additional loan party as a “Borrower” thereunder.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company was in compliance with its covenants. The outstanding principal balance on the line of credit as of June 30, 2026 was $77.1 million and outstanding letters of credit amounted to million leaving access to approximately $39.7 million in additional funds through our $125.0 million line of credit, subject to a borrowing base calculation.

Note 9 - Shareholders' Equity

Common Stock

The Company had shares of common stock authorized, with a par value of per share as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company sold no shares under the offering. During the six months ended June 30, 2026 the Company sold 155,000 Shares for cash proceeds of million under the offering. The Company sold no Shares under the offering during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Preferred Stock

The Company had authorized 100,000 shares of Series A Participating Preferred Stock, with a par value of $0.001 per share and shares of Preferred Stock, with a par value of per share as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

The Company had preferred stock outstanding as of June 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

Stockholder Rights Plan

On June 11, 2026, the Company's Board of Directors declared a dividend distribution of one preferred share purchase right (a "Right") for each outstanding share of the Company's common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 22, 2026. The Rights were issued pursuant to a Preferred Stock Rights Agreement, dated as of June 11, 2026 (the "Rights Agreement"), between the Company and Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, as rights agent. In connection with the Rights Agreement, the Board designated 100,000 shares of Series AA Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Series AA Preferred Stock"), and reserved such shares for issuance upon exercise of the Rights. No shares of Series AA Preferred Stock were issued or outstanding as of June 30, 2026.

Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series AA Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $9.55, subject to adjustment. The Rights are attached to, and trade with, the shares of common stock and are not exercisable until the earlier of ten business days following (i) a public announcement that a person or group has acquired beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Company's outstanding common stock without Board approval, or (ii) the commencement of a tender or exchange offer that would result in such ownership. If the Rights become exercisable, each Right (other than Rights beneficially owned by the acquiring person or group, which become null and void) will entitle the holder to purchase shares of common stock having a market value of twice the exercise price. The Rights may be redeemed by the Board at a price of $0.001 per Right at any time prior to a triggering event and expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 10, 2027, unless earlier redeemed, exchanged, or terminated.

The Rights carry no voting or dividend rights. Because the Rights were not exercisable as of June 30, 2026, their issuance had no effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

Note 10 - Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC Topic 260 (“ASC 260”), Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income (loss) divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS, but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., convertible securities, options, warrants and restricted stock) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. There were potential common shares related to performance-based restricted stock units and restricted stock units that were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS for the six months ended June 30, 2025, because their effect could have been anti-dilutive. The Rights described in Note 9 - Shareholders' Equity are contingently issuable and were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as the events that would cause the Rights to become exercisable had not occurred as of June 30, 2026.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS:

Note 11 - Income Taxes

The determination of the Company’s overall effective income tax rate requires the use of estimates. The effective income tax rate reflects the income earned and taxed in U.S. federal and various state jurisdictions based on enacted tax law, permanent differences between book and tax items, tax credits and the Company’s change in relative income in each jurisdiction. Changes in tax laws and rates may affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities and the Company’s effective income tax rate in the future. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had immaterial operations outside the U.S. and as such, no foreign income tax was recorded.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company’s effective income tax rate of % and ()%, respectively, differed from the federal statutory rate primarily as a result of investment tax credits recognized in the period, partially offset by discrete tax items, permanent differences and state income taxes. The Company’s tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2026 includes a discrete tax expense of thousand related to stock-based compensation shortfalls and thousand related to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets associated with executive compensation. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company’s effective tax rate of % and %, respectively, differed from the federal statutory rate primarily as a result of permanent differences and state income taxes, partially offset by tax credits.

Note 15 - Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, the Company is a party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. When the Company becomes aware of a claim or potential claim, it assesses the likelihood of any loss or exposure. In accordance with authoritative guidance, the Company records loss contingencies in its financial statements only for matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Where a range of loss can be reasonably estimated with no best estimate in the range, the Company records the minimum estimated liability. If the loss is not probable or the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company discloses the nature of the specific claim if the likelihood of a potential loss is reasonably possible and the amount involved is material. The Company continuously assesses the potential liability related to its pending litigation and revises its estimates when additional information becomes available. Adverse outcomes in some or all of these matters may result in significant monetary damages or injunctive relief against the Company that could adversely affect its ability to conduct business. There also exists the possibility of a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements for the period in which the effect of an unfavorable outcome becomes probable and reasonably estimable. Legal costs associated with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.

AnHeart Lease Matter

In connection with lease arrangements relating to properties located at 273 Fifth Avenue and 275 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, New York, the Company previously guaranteed certain obligations of AnHeart, Inc. under those leases. Following AnHeart’s default under the 275 Fifth Avenue lease in 2022, the Company performed under its guaranty and pursued remedies to recover amounts it believes are owed under contractual and related arrangements.

On February 25, 2022, the Company initiated legal proceedings against AnHeart, Inc. and Minsheng Pharmaceutical Group Company, Ltd. (“Minsheng”), who in 2019 executed on behalf of AnHeart, an unconditional guaranty of all liabilities arising from the leases, in favor of the Company. In March 2022, that proceeding was stayed in connection with certain payment commitments being made by AnHeart. After such payment commitments were not satisfied, the Company commenced a new action in New York County Supreme Court on October 25, 2023 against AnHeart and Minsheng seeking recovery of amounts alleged to be due under the relevant arrangements. The parties subsequently entered into a settlement arrangement providing for specified monthly payments through December 2025, after which regular monthly rental payments were to resume in accordance with the applicable lease terms.

The Company continues to evaluate and pursue its rights and remedies with respect to these matters. The ultimate outcome cannot be predicted with certainty. Based on information currently available, management does not believe that the resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Other Commitments

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had additional vehicle leases that had not yet commenced which total million in future minimum lease payments.

Note 16 - Subsequent Events

Acquisition of Searay Foods Inc.

On July 17, 2026, the Company, HF Acquisition Newco Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and HF Toro Canada Holdings Inc., a British Columbia company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (collectively, the "Buyer Entities"), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Searay Foods Inc. and Morgan Foods Inc., each a corporation formed under the laws of British Columbia (collectively, "Searay"), the sellers named therein (the "Sellers"), and a representative of the Sellers. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Buyer Entities will acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding securities of Searay.

The aggregate base purchase price is CAD$47.9 million (approximately US$35 million based on the exchange rate in effect on the date of the Purchase Agreement), payable as (i) CAD$38.4 million in cash, subject to customary post-closing adjustments, and (ii) 1,701,871 shares of the Company's common stock to be deposited into escrow at closing. The shares to be issued will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on Regulation S and Regulation D thereunder. In addition, the Sellers are eligible to receive contingent earnout payments based on the achievement of specified EBITDA targets over a two- to three-year period following the closing.

The closing is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals, and is expected to occur no later than August 31, 2026, unless the Purchase Agreement is earlier terminated or extended in accordance with its terms. In connection with the Purchase Agreement, certain key employees of Searay, including a Seller, entered into employment agreements with a subsidiary of the Company.

The transaction will expand the Company's operational footprint into Canada through the Vancouver, British Columbia market and will serve as the Company's first expansion into an international market outside of the United States.

Amendment to Real Estate Term Loan and Revolving Credit Agreement

On July 29, 2026, the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary B&R Global Holdings, Inc., and certain other wholly-owned subsidiaries and affiliates of the Company, as borrowers, and certain material subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, entered into a Joinder and Amendment No. 7 (the “Seventh Amendment”) to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2022, as previously amended (the “Existing Credit Agreement”, and as amended by the Seventh Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”), with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., TD Bank, N.A. and Fifth Third Bank, N.A., as lenders. In connection with the Seventh Amendment, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. ceased to be a lender under the Amended Credit Agreement. The Seventh Amendment does not constitute a novation of the obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement, and all existing obligations thereunder continue in full force and effect as obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement.

The Seventh Amendment increased the revolving commitments under the Company’s asset-based revolving credit facility from $125.0 million to $140.0 million and refinanced and upsized the Company’s term loans, resulting in term loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $125.0 million immediately following the closing. The revolving commitments mature on July 29, 2031, and the term loans mature on July 29, 2036. Additional information regarding the Seventh Amendment is included in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 31, 2026.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Transformation Plan

To position the business for long-term success, starting in 2024, we initiated a comprehensive, operational transformation plan in an effort to drive growth and cost savings. Our transformation is focused on four key areas, each of which we expect will positively impact future growth or cost savings. The components of our transformation are as follows:

  • Centralized Purchasing: Now that we’ve rolled out our centralized purchasing program with seafood and poultry products and have yielded positive results with respect to margin expansion for the product categories, we are now focusing on expanding the program to other categories such as commodities.
  • Fleet and Transportation: We have established a national fleet maintenance program that standardizes truck specifications across the organization. As part of this initiative, nearly 50% of our fleet is enrolled in national third-party fleet maintenance provider programs, ensuring consistent preventive maintenance, improved vehicle reliability, and reduced downtime. We have also launched a fleet replacement program for 50% of our current vehicles, implemented a national fuel savings initiative to maximize operating efficiency, and plan to outsource domestic inbound freight logistics to a third-party provider to create a more cohesive national supply chain. Collectively, these initiatives are expected to deliver significant improvements in the efficiency, reliability, and overall performance of our transportation network.
  • Digital Transformation: We have completed the implementation of a modern ERP solution across all of our distribution centers. The Company expects this solution to deliver enhanced operational efficiency and responsiveness, streamlined processes, and greater data driven decision-making.
  • Facility Upgrades: We continue reorganizing and upgrading some of our facilities and distribution centers to efficiently streamline costs, and to capitalize on cross-selling opportunities with both new and existing customers.

For additional information on our non-GAAP financial measures, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, see the section entitled “EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA” below.

How to Assess HF Foods’ Performance

In assessing our performance, we consider a variety of performance and financial measures, including principal growth in net revenue, gross profit, distribution, selling and administrative expenses, as well as certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. The key measures that we use to evaluate the performance of our business are set forth below:

Net Revenue

Net revenue is equal to gross sales minus sales returns, sales incentives that we offer to our customers, such as rebates and discounts that are offsets to gross sales; and certain other adjustments. Our net revenue is driven by changes in number of customers and average customer order amount, product inflation that is reflected in the pricing of our products and mix of products sold.

Gross Profit

Gross profit is equal to net revenue minus cost of revenue. Cost of revenue primarily includes inventory costs (net of supplier consideration), inbound freight, customs clearance fees and other miscellaneous expenses. Cost of revenue generally changes as we incur higher or lower costs from suppliers and as the customer and product mix changes.

Distribution, Selling and Administrative Expenses

Distribution, selling and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, stock-based compensation and benefits for employees and contract laborers, trucking and fuel expenses, utilities, maintenance and repair expenses, insurance expenses, depreciation and amortization expenses, selling and marketing expenses, professional fees and other operating expenses.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

Discussion of our results includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, that we believe provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial performance with other companies in the same industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in order to provide supplemental information that we consider relevant for the readers of our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report, and such information is not meant to replace or supersede GAAP measures.

Management uses EBITDA to measure operating performance, defined as net income before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. In addition, management uses Adjusted EBITDA, defined as net income before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization, further adjusted to exclude certain unusual, non-cash, or non-recurring expenses. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is less susceptible to variances in actual performance resulting from non-recurring expenses, and other non-cash charges and is more reflective of other factors that affect our operating performance.

The definition of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies in the industry. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not defined under GAAP and are subject to important limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of HF Foods’ results as reported under GAAP. For example, Adjusted EBITDA:

  • excludes certain tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available;
  • does not reflect any cash capital expenditure requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future;
  • does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and
  • does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements, necessary to service our debt.

For additional information on EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, see “Results of Operations — EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA” below.

Net Revenue

Net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $8.9 million, or 2.8%, compared to the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily due to volume growth and pricing improvement in Seafood followed by volume growth in Commodity, partially offset by price decreases in Meat & Poultry.

Gross Profit

Gross profit was $55.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $55.1 million in the same period in 2025, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 0.2%. The gross profit decreased across most categories due to additional tariffs effective beginning in the third quarter of 2025. The decrease was partially offset by the IEEPA tariff refund received during the quarter. Gross profit margin for the three months ended June 30, 2026 of 17.0% declined compared to 17.5% in the same period in 2025.

Distribution, Selling and Administrative Expenses

Distribution, selling and administrative expenses increased by $1.2 million, or 2.4%, to $52.2 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2026. The increase is primarily due to an increase in auto & truck expense due to higher fuel cost, insurance, and professional services expenses. The increase is partially offset by lower personnel expenses. Distribution, selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenue decreased to 16.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 from 16.2% in the same period in 2025.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2026 of $2.9 million increased slightly compared to $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Average floating interest rates on our floating-rate debt for the three months ended June 30, 2026 decreased by approximately 0.3% on our line of credit and 0.7% on the JPMorgan Chase mortgage-secured term loan, compared to the same period in 2025. Our average daily line of credit balance increased by $12.1 million, or 22.6%, to $65.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 from $53.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and our average daily JPMorgan Chase mortgage-secured term loan balance decreased by $8.2 million, or 8.3%, to $91.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 from $99.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to an income tax expense of $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily due to investment tax credits recognized during the period, partially offset by higher income before income taxes.

Net Income Attributable to HF Foods Group, Inc.

Net income attributable to HF Foods Group, Inc. was $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to net income of $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The improvement was primarily driven by recognition of $1.8 million employee retention credit including interest, the IEEPA tariff refund of $1.1 million, and a positive change in fair value of

interest rate swap contracts by $1.4 million compared to 2025. These favorable variances were partially offset by $1.3 million decrease in income from operations and $0.7 million year-over-year change in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Net Revenue

Net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $22.5 million, or 3.7%, compared to the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to volume growth and improved pricing in Seafood and Commodity, partially offset by price decrease in Meat & Poultry and volume decreases in Asian Specialty.

Gross Profit

Gross profit was $105.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $106.1 million in the same period in 2025, an decrease of $0.5 million, or 0.5%. The gross profit decreased across most categories primarily due to additional tariff effective beginning the third quarter 2025. The decrease was offset by the IEEPA tariff refund received during the current quarter. Gross profit margin for the six months ended June 30, 2026 decreased slightly to 16.6% compared to 17.3% in the same period in 2025.

Distribution, Selling and Administrative Expenses

Distribution, selling and administrative expenses of $101.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $0.9 million, or 0.9%, in 2026 compared to $100.8 million in 2025, mainly due to increases in auto & truck expenses of $2.0 million and insurance expense of $0.4 million partially offset by a reduction in personnel expense of $0.8 million and professional expenses of $0.6 million. Distribution, selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenue decreased slightly to 16.0% in 2026 compared to 16.4% in 2025.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased slightly to $5.73 million, compared to $5.43 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $0.30 million or 5.6%. The increase was driven by an increase in our average daily line of credit balance of $10.1 million, partially offset by a decrease in our average daily JPMorgan Chase mortgage-secured term loan balance of $7.5 million combined with a slightly lower interest-rate environment. Average floating interest rates on our floating-rate debt for the six months ended June 30, 2026 decreased by approximately 0.5% on the line of credit and 0.7% on the JPMorgan Chase mortgage-secured term loan, compared to 2025. Our average daily line of credit balance was $61.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, up from $51.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, while our average daily JPMorgan Chase mortgage-secured term loan balance decreased to $92.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $99.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Income Tax Benefit

Income tax benefit was $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to an income tax benefit of $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The change was primarily due to higher income before income taxes and discrete tax expense items related to stock-based compensation shortfalls and the remeasurement of deferred tax assets associated with executive compensation, partially offset by investment tax credits recognized during the period.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to HF Foods Group, Inc.

Net income attributable to HF Foods Group Inc. was $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to a net loss of $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The $4.2 million improvement was primarily attributable to a $1.4 million gain on the Utah building sale, recognition of employee retention credit of $1.8 million including interest, the IEEPA tariff refund of $1.1 million, and a $3.4 million favorable year-over-year change in fair value of interest rate swap. These favorable variances were partially offset by a $1.4 million decrease in operating income, a $0.2 million unfavorable change in income taxes, and a $0.8 million year-over-year change in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2026, we had cash of approximately $18.1 million, checks issued not presented for payment of $5.6 million and access to approximately $39.7 million in additional funds through our $125.0 million line of credit, subject to a borrowing base calculation. We have funded working capital and other capital requirements primarily by cash flow from operations and bank loans. Cash is required to pay purchase costs for inventory, salaries, fuel and trucking expenses, selling expenses, rental expenses, income taxes, other operating expenses and to service debts.

We believe that our cash flow generated from operations is sufficient to meet our normal working capital needs for at least the next twelve months. However, our ability to repay our current obligations will depend on the future realization of our current assets. Management has considered the historical experience, the economy, the trends in the foodservice distribution industry to determine the expected collectability of accounts receivable and the realization of inventories as of June 30, 2026.

We are party to an amortizing interest rate swap contract with JPMorgan Chase for an initial notional amount of $120.0 million, expiring in March 2028, as a means to partially hedge our existing floating rate loans exposure. Pursuant to the agreement, we will pay the swap counterparty a fixed rate of 4.11% in exchange for floating payments based on CME Term SOFR.

Management believes we have sufficient access to funds to meet our working capital requirements and debt obligations in the next twelve months. However, there are a number of factors that could potentially arise which might result in shortfalls in anticipated cash flow, such as the demand for our products, economic conditions, competitive pricing in the foodservice distribution industry, and our bank and suppliers being able to provide continued support. If the future cash flow from operations and other capital resources is insufficient to fund our liquidity needs, we may have to resort to reducing or delaying our expected capital investment plans, liquidating assets, obtaining additional debt or equity capital, or refinancing all or a portion of our debt.

As of June 30, 2026, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements that currently have or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, changes in financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

The following table summarizes cash flow data for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:

(In thousands)Six Months Ended June 30, 2026Six Months Ended June 30, 2025Change
Net cash provided by operating activities$14,031$10,468$3,563
Net cash used in investing activities(16,071)(6,592)(9,479)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities11,503(2,693)14,196
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents$9,463$1,183$8,280

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities consists primarily of net income (loss) adjusted for non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization, changes in deferred income taxes and others, and includes the effect of working capital changes. Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $3.6 million primarily due to higher income, driven by an increase in other income, and favorable changes in accrued expenses. These favorable impacts were partially offset by lower non-cash expense add-backs, which reduced the adjustments added back to net income in the determination of operating cash flows.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $9.5 million primarily due to increased capital project spending including the purchases of warehouse buildings which were previously leased in the six months ended June 30, 2026, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of the Utah property (see Note 4 - Balance Sheet Components for additional information).

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities of $11.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to $2.7 million net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to the higher overall net proceeds from line of credit activity, offset by overall lower interest rates.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We have prepared the financial information in this Quarterly Report in accordance with GAAP. Preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during these reporting periods. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and other factors we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. These assumptions form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Part II, Item 7 — “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of the 2025 Annual Report includes a summary of the critical accounting policies and estimates we believe are the most important to aid in understanding our financial results. There have been no changes to those critical accounting policies and estimates that have had a material impact on our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, or expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3. uantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

Our debt exposes us to risk of fluctuations in interest rates. Floating rate debt, where the interest rate fluctuates periodically, exposes us to short-term changes in market interest rates. Fixed rate debt, where the interest rate is fixed over the life of the instrument, exposes us to changes in market interest rates reflected in the fair value of the debt and to the risk that we may need to refinance maturing debt with new debt at higher rates. We manage our debt portfolio to achieve an overall desired proportion of fixed and floating rate debts and may employ interest rate swaps as a tool from time to time to achieve that position. To manage our interest rate risk exposure, we entered into four interest rate swap contracts to hedge the floating rate term loans. See Note 7 - Derivative Financial Instruments to the consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

As of June 30, 2026, our aggregate floating rate debt’s outstanding principal balance without hedging was $79.2 million, or 44.5% of total debt, consisting primarily of our revolving line of credit (see Note 8 - Long-Term Debt to the consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q). Our floating rate debt interest is based on the floating 1-month SOFR plus a predetermined credit adjustment rate plus the bank spread. The remaining 55.5% of our debt is on a fixed rate or a floating rate with hedging. In a hypothetical scenario, a 1% change in the applicable rate would cause the interest expense on our floating rate debt to change by approximately $0.8 million per year.

Fuel Price Risk

We are also exposed to risks relating to fluctuations in the price and availability of diesel fuel. We require significant quantities of diesel fuel for our vehicle fleet, and the inbound delivery of the products we sell is also dependent upon shipment by diesel-fueled vehicles. Additionally, elevated fuel costs can negatively impact consumer confidence and discretionary spending and thus reduce the frequency and amount spent by consumers for food-away-from-home purchases. We currently are able to obtain adequate supplies of diesel fuel, however, an inability to procure sufficient quantities of fuel or a significant increase in the price of fuel could have a material adverse impact on our financial performance. Average fuel prices in the second quarter of 2026 increased 50.3% in comparison to average prices in the same period in 2025. However, it is impossible to predict the future availability or price of diesel fuel. The price and supply of diesel fuel fluctuates based on external factors not within our control, including geopolitical developments, supply and demand for oil and gas, regional production patterns, weather conditions and environmental concerns. Increases in the cost of diesel fuel could increase our cost of goods sold and operating costs to deliver products to our customers.

We do not actively hedge the price fluctuation of diesel fuel in general. Instead, we seek to minimize fuel cost risk through delivery route optimization and fleet utilization improvement.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of June 30, 2026. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer concluded that, due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2026.

Notwithstanding the material weaknesses, management has concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

Previously Reported Material Weaknesses

As previously disclosed in our 2025 Annual Report, management identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting related to entity-level controls impacting the control activities and monitoring components of the COSO framework. These entity-level deficiencies resulted in the following material weaknesses over certain aspects of financial reporting, including controls related to:

  • The recording of revenue and accounts receivable;
  • the review of journal entries;
  • the accounting for new leases; and
  • the impairment analysis of long-lived assets, including the review of underlying data and assumptions for completeness and accuracy.

These material weaknesses continued to exist as of June 30, 2026.

Remediation Activities

During the second quarter of 2026, management continued executing its remediation plan under the oversight of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The Company’s remediation efforts are focused on strengthening accounting-related controls, improving review precision, enhancing evidence of review, and validating the completeness and accuracy of key data used in control execution.

Management’s remediation efforts during 2026 include:

  • Strengthening controls over revenue recognition and accounts receivable, including invoice validation, reconciliation procedures, and monitoring of revenue transactions;
  • enhancing controls over lease accounting and long-lived asset impairment assessments, including review of key inputs, assumptions, and supporting data;
  • improving the precision and consistency of journal entry review procedures.

Management believes these actions are designed to improve the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. However, the material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls have been designed, implemented and operated effectively for a sufficient period of time, and management has completed testing to support that conclusion.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

Other than the ongoing remediation activities described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. egal Proceedings

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, we are a party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. With respect to our outstanding legal matters, we believe that the amount or estimable range of reasonably possible loss will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. For information relating to legal proceedings, see Note 15 - Commitments and Contingencies to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of our 2025 Annual Report other than the below item.

Our stockholder rights plan could delay or prevent a change of control that our stockholders may consider favorable and could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

On June 11, 2026, our Board of Directors adopted a limited-duration stockholder rights plan and declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right for each outstanding share of our common stock. The rights generally become exercisable if a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more of our outstanding common stock in a transaction not approved by our Board, in which case holders other than the acquiring person would be entitled to purchase our common stock at a substantial discount, resulting in significant dilution to the acquiring person. The rights plan is intended to protect stockholders from unreported group formation and unsolicited takeover efforts that our Board believes do not offer adequate value, but it may also have the effect of deterring, delaying, or preventing a change of control, including an acquisition that some or all of our stockholders might consider beneficial or that would result in a premium over the market price of our common stock. The existence of the rights plan may also limit the price that investors are willing to pay for our common stock, and could discourage proxy contests or make it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our Board or management. The rights plan is scheduled to expire on June 10, 2027, unless earlier redeemed, exchanged, or terminated, and our Board may extend, amend, or terminate the plan.
