The company experienced a substantial increase in revenue, with total revenues for the three months reaching $6.54 million, a 222% increase from $2.03 million in the same period of 2023. For the nine months, revenues surged to $15.99 million, compared to $2.94 million in the prior year, marking a 444% increase. This growth was primarily driven by the acquisition of Credova Holdings, which contributed approximately $3.2 million in revenue for the quarter and $6.6 million for the nine months.

Despite the revenue growth, PSQ Holdings reported an operating loss of $14.69 million for the third quarter, up from a loss of $12.98 million in the same quarter of 2023. The nine-month operating loss also widened to $43.63 million from $25.71 million year-over-year. The net loss for the third quarter was $13.14 million, a decrease from $20.24 million in the previous year, while the nine-month net loss improved to $36.95 million from $47.65 million.

The company’s total assets increased significantly to $44.25 million as of September 30, 2024, compared to $25.25 million at the end of 2023. However, total liabilities also rose sharply to $39.84 million from $14.81 million, leading to a decrease in stockholders’ equity to $4.40 million from $10.43 million.

Strategically, PSQ Holdings has been active in mergers and acquisitions, including the acquisition of EveryLife, Inc. in February 2023, which launched a brand focused on baby care products. The company also finalized a business combination with Colombier Acquisition Corp. in July 2023, leading to its listing on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "NYSE:PSQH". Additionally, a merger agreement with Credova was entered into in March 2024, further expanding its financial technology segment.

In response to financial pressures, the company implemented cost-saving measures, including a 35% staff reduction in October 2024, expected to yield annual savings of approximately $11 million. Furthermore, PSQ Holdings closed a PIPE transaction for $5.35 million in October 2024, aimed at bolstering its financial position.

As of September 30, 2024, the company reported cash and cash equivalents of $4.71 million, a significant decrease from $16.45 million at the end of 2023, reflecting ongoing cash flow challenges. The company continues to evaluate its operational strategies and financial requirements moving forward.
