Its third-quarter earnings in November showed net revenue dropped more than 18% year over year to $77.7 million, but it switched from a net loss to a profit of $7.7 million. The company also raised its full-year outlook, expecting net revenue between $313 million and $320 million. The company slashed its 2024 growth expectations in June , cutting its outlook from $600 million in revenue to between $330 million and $360 million. Grove Collaborative was focused on expanding wholesale partnerships during 2022. The company announced in September that it would double its retail presence through a CVS partnership, and struck a new deal with Kohl’s in July. The company also brought in some new support throughout the year, hiring former Unilever executive Sergio Cervantes as its Chief Financial Officer and adding Drew Barrymore to its list of investors in April.
