Stran & Company Achieves 52.4% Increase in Sales to Approximately $28.7 Million for the First Quarter of 2025

Conference Call Scheduled for Friday, May 16 at 10:00 A.M. ET

Quincy, MA / May 15, 2025 / Stran & Company, Inc. (“Stran” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: SWAG) (NASDAQ: SWAGW), a leading provider of outsourced marketing solutions specializing in promotional products and loyalty incentives, today announced its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and provided a business update. Management will host a conference call at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Friday, May 16, 2025.

“Stran entered 2025 with exceptional momentum, disciplined execution, and a steadfast commitment to our strategic vision,” said Andy Shape, Chief Executive Officer of Stran. “Our first-quarter performance was exceptional, with revenue soaring 52.4% year-over-year to approximately $28.7 million and gross profit surging 51.1% compared to the prior year. These results are particularly impressive given the lower initial margins from our recent acquisition of the Gander Group assets. Encouragingly, we’ve already driven a modest improvement in SLS’s gross profit margins and are focused on aligning them with Stran’s historically strong margin profile. Additionally, our organic revenue growth of 11.2% underscores our resilience and competitive strength, especially in a challenging market environment that has tested many of our peers.”

“With the reaudit process behind us and timely reporting fully restored, we have shifted our focus toward accelerating organic growth and driving sustained margin improvement. One of the most significant milestones achieved this quarter was the successful implementation of our NetSuite ERP system in January. This enterprise-wide rollout marks a major step forward in our digital transformation, already delivering meaningful gains in automation, real-time visibility, and centralized process control. It has enhanced our ability to scale efficiently, serve clients with greater speed and accuracy, and manage operations with increased precision.”

“Furthermore, we are executing a focused plan to improve profitability through disciplined expense management, streamlined workflows, and scalable infrastructure. The integration of the Gander Group assets, which has brought meaningful scale, greater diversification, and valuable cross-sector opportunities to our business, remains on track, and we are already realizing synergies across sourcing, logistics, and client engagement. These initiatives reflect our commitment to strengthening our operational foundation and delivering long-term value through consistent, high-performance execution.”

“As we continue through 2025, we remain focused on executing our strategy with precision—delivering high-quality branded solutions, enhancing operational efficiency, and expanding margins. With a strong balance sheet that includes approximately $12.2 million in cash, cash equivalents, and investments, we are well-positioned to support our growth initiatives while maintaining financial discipline. This foundation enables us to rapidly gain market share while executing on our commitment to driving long-term value for our shareholders.”

Financial Results for the Three Months ended March 31, 2025

Sales increased 52.4% to approximately $28.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from approximately $18.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Sales by the Stran segment increased to approximately $20.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from approximately $18.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Sales by the Stran Loyalty Solutions, LLC (“SLS”) segment (which consists of the former Gander Group business) increased to approximately $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. For the Stran segment, the increase in sales was primarily due to higher spending from existing clients as well as business from new customers. For the SLS segment, the increase in sales was due to the acquisition of the Gander Group assets in August 2024.

Gross profit increased 51.1% to approximately $8.5 million, or 29.6% of sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from approximately $5.6 million, or 29.8% of sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Gross profit of the Stran segment increased to approximately $6.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from approximately $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Gross profit of the SLS segment increased to approximately $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in the dollar amount of total gross profit was primarily due to the acquisition of the Gander Group assets in August 2024. For the Stran segment, the increase in the dollar amount of gross profit was due to an increase in sales of approximately $2.1 million for the reasons described above, which was partially offset by an increase of cost of sales of approximately $0.9 million. For the SLS segment, the increase in the dollar amount of gross profit was due to the acquisition of the Gander Group assets in August 2024. The decrease in total gross profit margin to 29.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from 29.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due to the acquisition of the Gander Group assets in August 2024, which operates at a lower gross margin than the Stran segment. The gross profit margin for the Stran segment increased to 32.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from 29.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The gross profit margin for the SLS segment was 21.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Operating expenses consist of general and administrative expenses. Our total operating expenses increased 43.6% to approximately $9.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from approximately $6.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Operating expenses of our Stran segment increased to approximately $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from approximately $6.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Operating expenses of our SLS segment increased to approximately $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. As a percentage of sales, operating expenses decreased to 31.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from 33.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. As a percentage of sales, operating expenses of our Stran segment decreased to 32.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from 33.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. As a percentage of sales, operating expenses of our SLS segment were 27.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. For the Stran segment, the increase in the dollar amount of operating expenses was primarily due to expenses related to Stran's NetSuite enterprise resource planning system implementation, acquisition and integration of the Gander Group assets, and legal and accounting expenses related to the re-audit of historical financial statements. For the SLS segment, the increase in the dollar amount of operating expenses was due to the acquisition of the Gander Group assets in 2024.

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was approximately $0.4 million, compared to approximately $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This change was primarily due to an increase in gross profit, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses.
