Q2 FY2026 EarningsQ2 FY2026 results missed consensus across the board as revenue fell to $1.12M vs. $1.80M expected, largely due to the Judith Ripka brand divestiture and shifting licensing partners. Normalized EPS of -$0.21 beat the -$0.41 consensus, primarily aided by significant cost-cutting measures that reduced direct operating expenses by 2% YoY despite revenue headwinds. Management raised substantial doubt regarding the company's ability to continue as a going concern, emphasizing that current revenue levels remain insufficient to cover reduced operating costs.
