Text size:

COSTA MESA, CA / ACCESS Newswire / August 21, 2025 / Charlie's Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB:CHUC) ("Charlie's" or the "Company"), an industry leader in the premium vapor products space, today reported results for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and provided an update on recent business highlights.

Key Financial Highlights for Q2 2025 (compared with Q2 2024)

Not including $6.5 million income from PMTA asset sales, revenue increased 25% to $2.5 million
Net income of $5.0 million, from a loss of $1.0 million
EPS of $0.02, from a loss of $0.01
$2.8 million reduction in Notes Payable for the six months ended June 30, 2025

Recent Business Highlights

Successful SBX introduction in 6 strategically advantaged states; roll-out planned for multiple regional convenience store chains in Q3 and Q4 2025
Initial PMTA Products Strategic Partnerships generated $6.5 million of income with an additional $4.2 million in contingent payments possible over the next 12 months (imputed value of CHUC's 679 remaining PMTA products is more than $650 million)
Company plans to open US manufacturing facility in Q4 2025 for filling of select product lines
Age-gating technology in development to prevent youth access to nicotine vapor products
Upgraded sales team from a solely account management-centric team to a skilled and driven sales team to acquire new customers while maintaining excellent service with our existing customers

Subsequent Event

On August 8, 2025, the Company entered into and closed on an additional PMTA asset sale for one additional PACHA synthetic product and related asset, bringing the total PMTA Products purchased by the buyer to sixteen. The purchase price for this latest PMTA asset was $1.0 million paid at closing.

Management Commentary

Ryan Stump, Charlie's Chief Operating Officer, explained, "We are thrilled to report that all our hard work, time, and investments into CHUC's PMTA portfolio has begun to pay dividends. With FDA Acceptance Filings for nearly 700 PMTAs, with a Company commitment to full regulatory compliance, and with our first sales of a handful of our 2022 PMTA Products, we believe that Charlie's has only scratched the surface of realizing the full monetary and strategic value of our PMTA portfolio. We believe Charlie's 679 remaining PMTAs, as a stand-alone asset, have a monetary value that far exceeds Charlie's current market cap."

Henry Sicignano III, Charlie's President, explained, "It is gratifying to see that our shift in strategy over the last two years has come together so successfully. We are enormously pleased with our return to profitability, with our success at eliminating the vast majority of the Company's debt, and with our excellent prospects for licensing our PMTA products to several key strategic partners in the industry." Sicignano continued, "What's more, we expect that, in the second half of 2025, organic sales of Charlie's non-nicotine SBX™ product line will take the spotlight. Even though we only began roll-out of SBX late in the second quarter, early results suggest that if we are able to manufacture and import as much product as the market demands, SBX sales - alone - could make 2025 a record year for Charlie's."

Planned Strategic Shift in Manufacturing

To eliminate significant inspection delays and tariff costs that have severely impacted vapor products shipments for the entire industry in recent months, Charlie's intends to launch a US-filled product line in late 2025. In addition to mitigating shipping delays and tariff costs, the US-filled line will enable Charlie's to meet new domestic manufacturing requirements that have been announced by large states. Texas is implementing a new law, Senate Bill 2024, effective September 1, 2025, that bans the sale and possession of certain vape products, including those manufactured or marketed as coming from China or certain other "adversary countries." Tennessee and other states have similar legislation pending. To sell and distribute products in these markets, Charlie's plans to launch a US-filled vapor product line in Q4 2025. The Company's new line will meet new domestic manufacturing requirements and will appeal, broadly, to adult consumers who prefer "Made in America" products.
