Schaefer, Arcadia’s president and CEO. “Our total revenues increased 18 percent year over year, and we have significantly reduced our use of operating cash to the lowest levels in Arcadia’s history as a public company.

Revenues

Revenue increased $239,000 and $152,000 during the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2023 driven by an increase in Zola sales.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased by $602,000 during the third quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 primarily driven by higher revenues and employee severance costs. Operating expenses decreased by $3.4 million during the first nine months of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 driven by a gain of $4.0 million related to the asset sale to Corteva in 2024.

Cost of revenues increased $214,000 and $140,000 during the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023, respectively, driven by higher revenues and input costs.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the third quarter of 2024 was $1.6 million, or $1.18 per share, compared to $2.6 million, or $1.89 per share, for the same period in 2023. The improvement in net loss attributable to common stockholders for the third quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily driven by the year-over-year decrease in net loss from discontinued operations.
