Edible Garden secures $1.5 million in funding via receivables sale

Edible Garden AG Inc (NASDAQ:EDBL), a company specializing in crop production with annual revenue of $13.86 million, has entered into a financial agreement with Arin Funding LLC, securing $1.5 million by selling future accounts receivable. The deal, dated April 1, 2025, was disclosed in a regulatory filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. According to InvestingPro data, the company operates with a modest gross profit margin of 16.68% and is currently trading below its Fair Value.

Under the terms of the agreement, Edible Garden sold $2.04 million worth of its future accounts receivable for an upfront sum of $1.5 million, after accounting for fees and expenses totaling $65,000. The net proceeds received by the company amounted to $1.435 million. This financing move comes as InvestingPro analysis shows the company has been quickly burning through cash, with negative free cash flow of $8.91 million in the last twelve months.

A portion of this capital was used to negotiate a discount and settle an outstanding balance with Cedar Advance LLC from a previous cash advance agreement. The balance, originally $1.373 million, was reduced to $1.263 million, and the company agreed to prepay the remaining amount.

Edible Garden is now obligated to pay Arin 20% of weekly customer collections, with Arin set to withdraw $63,750 weekly from the company’s bank account until the full $2.04 million is repaid. The arrangement grants Arin a security interest in all of Edible Garden’s accounts, including receivables and proceeds, ensuring Arin’s ability to recover the funds in case of default by Edible Garden.

This strategic financial maneuver is designed to improve the company’s cash flow and facilitate ongoing operations. The full details of the agreement can be found in the exhibit attached to the SEC filing.
