CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the information incorporated herein by reference contain certain statements that constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the "safe harbor" provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, you can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of terms such as "expect," "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "estimate," "intend," "may," "plan," "project," "seek," "should," "target," "will," or similar expressions, and variations or negatives of these words, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding our ability to raise capital in the future, future financial performance, business strategies including future acquisitions, expansion plans including construction of future facilities, future results of operations, estimated revenues, losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to differ materially from results expressed or implied in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements:

Local Bounti's ability to generate significant revenue;
the risk that Local Bounti may never achieve or sustain profitability;
the risk that Local Bounti could fail to effectively manage its future growth;
the risk that Local Bounti will fail to obtain additional necessary capital when needed on acceptable terms or at all;
Local Bounti's ability to complete the build out of its current or additional facilities in the future;
Local Bounti's reliance on third parties for construction, the risk of delays relating to material delivery and supply chains, and fluctuating material prices;
Local Bounti's ability to scale its operations and decrease its cost of goods sold over time;
the potential for damage to or problems with Local Bounti's facilities;
the impact that current or future acquisitions, investments or expansions of scope of existing relationships have on Local Bounti's business, financial condition, and results of operations;
unknown liabilities that may be assumed in acquisitions;
restrictions contained in Local Bounti's debt facility agreements with Cargill Financial Services International, Inc. ("Cargill Financial");
Local Bounti's ability to attract and retain qualified employees;
Local Bounti's ability to develop and maintain its brand or brands;
Local Bounti's ability to achieve its sustainability goals;
Local Bounti's ability to maintain its company culture or focus on its vision as it grows;
Local Bounti's ability to execute on its growth strategy;
the risk of diseases and pests destroying crops;
Local Bounti's ability to compete successfully in the highly competitive natural food market;
Local Bounti's ability to defend itself against intellectual property infringement claims;
Local Bounti's ability to effectively integrate the acquired operations of any CEA or similar operations which it acquires into its existing operations;
changes in consumer preferences, perception, and spending habits in the food industry;
the risk that seasonality may adversely impact Local Bounti's results of operations;
Local Bounti's ability to repay, refinance, restructure, or extend its indebtedness as it comes due;
Local Bounti's ability to comply with the continued listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"); and
the other factors discussed in Item 1A, "Risk Factors" of the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any updates to those factors set forth in Local Bounti's subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K.

The forward-looking statements contained herein are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on our business. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting our business will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the "Risk Factors" identified in Part I, Item 1A of the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess the effect of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking
3


statements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of the assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements.

In light of these risks and uncertainties, there is no assurance that the events or results suggested by the forward-looking statements will in fact occur, and you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements made by us in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q speak only as of the date made. Local Bounti undertakes no obligation, other than as required by applicable law, to update or revise its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, subsequent events, anticipated or unanticipated circumstances or otherwise.

LOCAL BOUNTI CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Business Description
Description of the Business

Local Bounti Corporation ("Local Bounti" or the "Company") was founded in August 2018 and is headquartered in Hamilton, Montana. The Company is a producer of sustainably grown living lettuce, herbs, and loose leaf lettuce. The Company is a controlled environment agriculture ("CEA") company that utilizes patent pending Stack & Flow TechnologyTM, which is a hybrid of vertical and hydroponic greenhouse farming, to grow healthy food sustainably and affordably. Through the Company's CEA process, its goal is to produce environmentally sustainable products in a manner that will increase harvest efficiency, limit water usage, and reduce the carbon footprint of the production and distribution process. The Company's primary products include living butter lettuce as well as packaged salad and cress.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
Management of Local Bounti is responsible for the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this document, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the statements herein.
The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the "Annual Financial Statements") as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly present its financial position as of June 30, 2023, its results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and its stockholders' equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2023 or any future period. The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2022 was derived from the Annual Financial Statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the Annual Financial Statements.

Liquidity

The Company has incurred losses and generated negative cash flows from operations since its inception. At June 30, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $213.5 million and cash and cash equivalents of $33.9 million. The Company believes that its current cash position, cash generated from sales, borrowing capacity, expected cash interest payment deferrals under its credit facilities with Cargill Financial, and its ability to secure financing, if necessary, will be adequate to fund planned operations of the Company for the next 12 months from the issuance of these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. However, there can be no assurance that equity or debt financing will be available to the Company should it need it or, if available, that the terms will be satisfactory to the Company and not dilutive to existing shareholders. The Company's failure to raise capital as and when needed could have significant negative consequences for our business, financial condition and results of consolidated operations.

Reverse Stock Split Stockholder Approval

On April 3, 2023, the Company's board of directors (the "Board") authorized an amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to, at the discretion of the Board, effect a reverse stock split of the shares of Local Bounti's common stock, at any time prior to June 30, 2024, at a ratio within a range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-25, with the exact ratio and effective time of the reverse stock split to be determined at the discretion of the Board without further approval or authorization of the Company's stockholders. The amendment was approved by stockholders at a special meeting of stockholders held on April 26, 2023. On June 4, 2023, the Board approved a 1-for-13 reverse stock split (the "Reverse Stock Split") of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. Trading of the Company's common stock on the NYSE commenced on a split-adjusted basis on June 15, 2023.

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every 13 shares of common stock issued and outstanding were automatically reclassified into one new share of common stock without any action on the part of the holders. The Company paid cash in lieu of fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split. Proportionate adjustments were made to the exercise prices and the number of shares underlying the Company’s outstanding equity awards, as applicable, and warrants exercisable for shares of Common Stock, as well as to the number of shares issuable under the Company’s equity incentive plans and certain existing agreements.

10


Accordingly, for the Company’s publicly traded warrants trading under the symbol "LOCL WS," every 13 warrants became exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $149.50 per share of common stock. The common stock issued pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split will remain fully paid and non-assessable. The Reverse Stock Split did not affect the number of authorized shares of common stock or the par value of the common stock.

All share and per share amounts presented herein with respect to common stock have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented.

There have been no material changes or updates to the Company's significant accounting policies from those described in the Annual Financial Statements except for the updates noted below.

Derivatives

Equity instruments issued in connection with debt and other equity instruments are required to be evaluated for derivative liability accounting treatment in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Unless certain exception criteria are met, the freestanding financial instrument must be recognized as a separate liability and subsequently measured on the balance sheet at fair value in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement.

The Company has evaluated the terms and features of its debt and equity instruments and identified a freestanding equity instrument (the March 2023 Cargill Warrant, as defined below) issued in connection with the Sixth Amendment (as defined below) that did not meet the criteria necessary to qualify for the derivative scope exception. Due to certain provisions that could result in the issuance of additional shares upon settlement, the warrant instrument did not meet the fixed-for-fixed criteria necessary for the instrument to be classified and recorded within equity. As a result, the warrant is accounted for at fair value until settled through exercise or expiration and is classified as a derivative liability on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2023. The initial $25.7 million fair value of the March 2023 Cargill Warrant was recorded as additional debt discount to the Facilities (as defined below) and a derivative liability in the "Warrant Liability" line item of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The change in fair value of the warrant will be remeasured each quarter until the instrument is settled or expires with changes in fair value recorded in "Change in fair value of warrant liability" in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value of the warrant liability is determined using a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. See Note 6, Debt, for more information.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), which amends the guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost and available for sale debt securities. For assets held at amortized cost, the amendment eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current GAAP and, instead, requires an entity to reflect its current estimate of all expected credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost of the financial assets to present the net amount expected to be collected. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2023 using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liability and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The standard reduces the number of models used to account for convertible instruments, removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, and requires the if-converted method for calculation of diluted earnings per share for all convertible instruments. The standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Agreements with Cargill Financial

As previously disclosed in the Company's Annual Financial Statements, Local Bounti Operating Company LLC ("Local Bounti Operating"), the Company and certain subsidiaries entered into with Cargill Financial a First Amendment, a Second Amendment, and a Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated as of September 3, 2021, and the Subordinated Credit Agreement, dated as of September 3, 2021 (the "Original Credit Agreements," and the facilities thereunder, the "Senior Facility" and the "Subordinated Facility," respectively and, collectively, the "Facilities") (which are further described in the Annual Financial Statements) in March 2022, August 2022, and December 2022, respectively. As further described below, Local Bounti Operating, the Company, and certain subsidiaries entered into with Cargill Financial a Fourth Amendment, a Fifth Amendment, and a Sixth Amendment to the Original Credit Agreements (as so amended, collectively referred to as the "Amended Credit Agreements").

Fourth Amendment to the Original Credit Agreements

On January 6, 2023, Local Bounti Operating, the Company and certain subsidiaries entered into a Fourth Amendment to the Original Credit Agreements (the "Fourth Amendment") with Cargill Financial. The Fourth Amendment reduced the minimum liquidity covenant in each of the Original Credit Agreements from $20.0 million to $11.0 million.

Fifth Amendment to the Original Credit Agreements

On March 13, 2023, Local Bounti Operating, the Company and certain subsidiaries entered into a Fifth Amendment to the Original Credit Agreements (the "Fifth Amendment") with Cargill Financial. The Fifth Amendment (i) reduced the amount of cash required to be held in the debt service reserve account by approximately $11.0 million until April 2, 2024, at which time the amount of cash required to be held in the debt service reserve account will be an amount equal to the sum of interest and principal payments that would be required under the Amended Credit Agreements for two calendar quarters; (ii) allowed for the payment in kind of the quarterly interest payment due and payable for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 and allowed for the payment in kind of the unused commitment fee payable for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 which amounted to $4.3 million; and (iii) reduced the minimum liquidity covenant in each of the Amended Credit Agreements from $11.0 million to $1.0 million. The aggregate amount of outstanding loans and undrawn commitments under the Amended Credit Agreements remained at $170.0 million (plus interest and fees paid in kind).

Sixth Amendment to the Original Credit Agreements

On March 28, 2023, Local Bounti Operating, the Company and certain subsidiaries entered into a Sixth Amendment to the Original Credit Agreements (the "Sixth Amendment") with Cargill Financial. The Sixth Amendment, among other things, (i) expanded the Facilities from $170.0 million to up to $280.0 million (plus, in each case, interest and fees paid in kind), including capital to fund construction at the Company’s facilities in Georgia, Texas, and Washington, subject to certain conditions and at Cargill Financial's discretion; (ii) allowed for the payment in kind of the quarterly interest payment due and payable for the quarter ending June 30, 2023 which amounted to $5.0 million; and (iii) added a minimum production covenant based on a projected production forecast. In consideration for the improved flexibility and the expanded size of the Facilities, Local Bounti issued Cargill Financial 5.4 million warrants with a per share exercise price of $13.00 per share (both number of warrants and per share exercise price adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split) and a 5-year term that expires on March 28, 2028 (the "March 2023 Cargill Warrant").

The Company evaluated the before and after cash flow changes resulting from the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Amendments and concluded the change in cash flows underlying these cumulative amendments were not significantly different from the cash flows underlying the terms in the Original Credit Agreements; therefore, the Company accounted for these amendments as a modification rather than as an extinguishment. Consequently, the $25.7 million fair value of the March 2023 Cargill Warrant was recorded as an additional debt discount that will amortize to interest expense over the remaining term of the Amended Credit Agreements. Fees paid to non-lender third parties as a result of the modification have been expensed as incurred.

Subsequent to the Sixth Amendment, the interest rate on the Subordinated Facility is 12.5% per annum and the interest rate on the Senior Facility is equal to SOFR plus a margin (which varies between 7.5% to 8.5% depending on the Senior Facility net leverage ratio) per annum, with accrued interest paid quarterly in arrears on the first business
13


day of the subsequent quarter (and paid in cash beginning October 1, 2023) through the maturity date on September 3, 2028.

Principal payments under the Senior Facility are payable quarterly, beginning April 1, 2025, based on a 10-year straight line amortization schedule, with the remaining unpaid balance under both the Senior Facility and the Subordinated Facility due on the September 3, 2028 maturity date.

In accordance with the Original Credit Agreements, the Company is required to have a debt service reserve account which is shown as restricted cash and cash equivalents on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Fifth Amendment and Sixth Amendment, taken together, reduced the minimum balance to maintain in the debt service reserve account to $0 through March 31, 2025. From and after April 1, 2025, the minimum balance to maintain in the debt service reserve account will be increased to two quarters of scheduled interest payments and two quarters of scheduled principal payments.

The Amended Credit Agreements also contain certain financial covenants that become measurable and effective beginning in the third quarter of 2025, including debt coverage, net leverage, and interest coverage ratios. Additional covenants and other provisions exist that may limit or affect the timing of the Company's ability, among other things, to undergo a merger or consolidation, sell certain assets, create liens, guarantee certain obligations of third parties, make certain investments or acquisitions, and declare dividends or make distributions. The Facilities are secured with a first-priority lien against substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, including their intellectual property. The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants as of June 30, 2023.
7. Financing Obligation

On April 27, 2023, Hollandia Real Estate, LLC ("Hollandia"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and STORE Master Funding XXXI, LLC ("STORE") consummated a $35 million multi-site sale and leaseback transaction relating to the Carpinteria Facility and the Oxnard Facility (collectively, the "Hollandia Facilities").

In connection with the sale and leaseback transaction, Hollandia and STORE entered into a Master Lease Agreement (the "STORE Lease"), dated April 27, 2023 (the "Effective Date"). Pursuant to the STORE Lease, Hollandia will lease the Hollandia Facilities from STORE, subject to the terms and conditions of the STORE Lease.

The STORE Lease provides for an initial term of 25 years, commencing on the Effective Date and expiring on April 30, 2048 ("Initial Term"). Hollandia has four options to extend the Initial Term for separate renewal terms of five years each (together with the Initial Term, the "Lease Term"). Subject to adjustment as set forth in the STORE Lease, the combined annual minimum rent payable to STORE during the first year of the Lease Term is an amount equal to $3.2 million (the "Base Annual Rent") with payments made monthly, subject to annual rent increases of three percent (3%) of the Base Annual Rent.

The STORE Lease contains certain representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, conditions, indemnification provisions and termination provisions customary for sale and leaseback transactions.

As part of the STORE Lease, Hollandia delivered to STORE a letter of credit in an amount equal to $6.5 million as security for the full and faithful performance by Hollandia of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of the STORE Lease. In the event of default under the Lease, STORE shall have the right to draw on the letter of credit to satisfy any monetary obligations under the STORE Lease. The letter of credit shall be released after five (5) years, contingent on achieving certain financial metrics as specified in the STORE Lease. The $6.5 million for the letter of credit is included in "Restricted cash" on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company accounted for the STORE Lease as a financing transaction in accordance with ASC 842, Leases, as the STORE Lease was determined to be a finance lease. The presence of a finance lease indicates that control of the Hollandia Facilities has not transferred to STORE and, as such, the transaction was deemed a failed sale and leaseback and the proceeds from the sale and leaseback transaction are therefore accounted for as a financing obligation. The leased assets remain on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and will continue to be depreciated over their original estimated useful lives, and the contractual lease payments will be allocated between interest expense (as imputed interest) and repayment of the $35 million financing obligation through April 30, 2048, which is the end of the 25-year lease term and when the Company expects control of the leased assets to transfer to STORE. The Company utilized a rate of 11.06% to calculate imputed interest and recognized $0.7 million of interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023 related to the STORE Lease.

10. Net Loss Per Share

Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period. In computing net loss per share, the Company's unvested restricted common stock and warrants are not considered participating securities. Diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 because the effects of potentially dilutive items were anti-dilutive given the Company's net loss. Diluted net loss per common share represents an adjustment to basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders giving effect to all potential common shares that were dilutive and outstanding during the period.

11. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters

The Company has and may become party to various legal proceedings and other claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company records a liability when it believes that it is probable that a loss will be incurred, and the amount of loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management is currently not aware of any matters that it expects will have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including the Notes to those statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the section entitled "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As discussed in more detail in the section entitled "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements," this discussion contains forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.
Our Mission and Vision
Our mission is to bring our farm to your kitchen. Our vision is to deliver the freshest, locally grown produce over the fewest food miles. We believe that happy plants make happy taste buds and we are committed to reimagining the standards of freshness. We also believe that local is the best kind of business, and we are committed to helping communities thrive for generations to come. We are committed to building empowered local teams. Together, we believe we are capable of extraordinary things.

Company Overview

Local Bounti is a controlled environment agriculture ("CEA") company that produces sustainably grown produce, focused today on living and loose leaf lettuce. Founded in 2018, and headquartered in Hamilton, Montana, Local Bounti utilizes its patent pending Stack & Flow Technology™ to grow healthy food sustainably and affordably. Our proprietary process is a hybrid, utilizing vertical farming in early plant growth, followed by greenhouse farming for final grow out. We designed our Stack & Flow Technology™ to give our products exactly what they need at every step of their growth cycle. Our goal is to grow in an environmentally sustainable manner that not only increases harvest efficiency and enhances unit economics, but also limits water usage and reduces the carbon footprint of the production and distribution process. Controlling the environmental conditions in both the 'Stack' and 'Flow' components of our growing system helps to ensure healthy, nutritious, consistent, and delicious products that are non-genetically modified organisms ("non-GMO"). We use 90% less water, 90% less land, and significantly less pesticides and herbicides than traditional outdoor agriculture operations.

Our first facility in Hamilton, Montana (the "Montana Facility") commenced construction in 2019 and reached full commercial operation by the second half of 2020. In 2021, we successfully completed the expansion of our Montana Facility, more than doubling our production capacity. Immediately after expansion, this facility was dedicated equally to commercial production and research and development that focused on new products, technology and system design. Today, the majority of the Montana Facility is dedicated to commercial production, but we continue to utilize dedicated space for research and development to improve our existing and future facilities.

On April 4, 2022, Local Bounti acquired California-based complementary greenhouse farming company Hollandia Produce Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Pete's Acquisition"), which operate under the name Pete's ("Pete's"). Through the Pete's Acquisition, we significantly increased our growing footprint, now operating three additional greenhouse growing facilities, including two in California and one in Georgia, the latter of which became operational in July 2022. We now have distribution to approximately 13,000 retail locations across 35 U.S. states and Canadian provinces, primarily through direct relationships with blue-chip retail customers, including Albertsons, Sam's Club, Kroger, Target, Walmart, Whole Foods, and AmazonFresh. Today, our primary product is living butter lettuce – for which we are a leading provider with an approximate 80% share of the CEA market within the Western U.S.

We derive the majority of our revenue from the sale of produce. We grow and package fresh greens that are sold into existing markets and channels such as food retailers and food service distributors from our Montana and two California facilities, and beginning in the third quarter of 2022, from our Georgia facility.

We offer sales incentives to our customers, including temporary price reductions. We anticipate that these promotional activities could impact sales and that changes in such activities could impact period-over-period results. Sales may also vary from period to period depending on the purchase orders we receive, the volume and mix of products sold and the channels through which our products are sold. In response to realized cost inflation, we have implemented contractually allowable price increases which we anticipate to benefit from in 2023 and beyond.

We intend to increase our production capacity and expand our reach to new markets, new geographies, and new customers through either the building of new facilities or through the acquisition of existing greenhouse facilities which we would plan to update with our Stack & Flow Technology™. We conduct an ongoing build-versus-buy analysis whenever we decide to build a new facility or acquire an existing facility. We also expect to expand our product offering to new varieties of fresh greens, herbs, berries, and other produce. Additionally, we evaluate commercial opportunities as part of these expansion efforts on an ongoing basis.

In October 2022, we signed a five-year offtake agreement with Sam's Club for our leafy greens production starting at our greenhouse facility in Georgia. We continue to advance our expansion of the Georgia facility and further
19


enhance capacity with the addition of our Stack & Flow TechnologyTM to meet pent up demand for Local Bounti packaged salads to current customers and open the opportunity to earn new business in that region.

Commercial Facility Expansion Update

Byron, Georgia Facility Progress

Construction of the greenhouse Phase 1-B was completed in early second quarter and construction of Phase 1-C is well underway with approximately 90% of that building now enclosed. The remaining Stack zones that comprise Phase 1-C are expected to be completed early in the fourth quarter 2023. Our Stack & Flow TechnologyTM is expected to add approximately 40% of incremental revenue generating capacity to the finished Georgia facility, which will be comprised of six acres of greenhouses and multiple climate, water, and spectral controlled Stack zones.

Mount Pleasant, Texas Facility Progress

With the greenhouse structure largely complete, we will begin installation of the Stack zones in the third quarter of 2023. The addition of this new facility in northeast Texas is expected to fortify our distribution in markets across Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Kansas, and Missouri. Further, the facility is designed to provide additional capacity to meet existing demand from our direct relationships with blue-chip retailers and distributors throughout the region. The facility is still expected to commence operations in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Pasco, Washington Facility Progress

The structural steel work for the greenhouses is now complete and glass installation is progressing. When complete, the facility will be comprised of three acres of greenhouse that will be supported by multiple Stack zones. The facility will help bolster our distribution capabilities in the Pacific Northwest and is still expected to commence operations early in the first quarter 2024, which reflects our decision to stagger construction to accommodate the commissioning of our Texas facility in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Recent Developments

Appointment of New Chief Executive Officer

Effective as of June 5, 2023, the Board appointed Anna Fabrega as the Chief Executive Officer and principal executive officer of the Company. Ms. Fabrega previously served as Chief Executive Officer of Freshly, LLC, a direct-to-consumer fresh prepared food subscription service, from October 2021 to November 2022. Ms. Fabrega initially joined Freshly as Chief Commercialization Officer in January 2021. Prior to joining Freshly, from October 2011 to January 2021, Ms. Fabrega served in successively more senior leadership roles with Amazon.com, Inc., including Managing Director of Amazon Go and Amazon Kitchen, Director of Amazon Go Category Leader, General Manager of Amazon Sports, and Senior Manager, Marketing and Third-Party Marketplace – Sporting Goods.

complete construction and commissioning of new facilities in Pasco, Washington, and Mount Pleasant, Texas;

integrate Pete's operations into our business;

invest in product innovation and development;

invest in sales and marketing efforts to increase brand awareness, engage customers and drive sales of our products; and

incur additional general administration expenses, including increased executive, finance, legal and accounting expenses associated with being a public company, and growing operations.

The following sections discuss and analyze the changes in the significant line items in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the comparative periods in the table above.

Sales

We derive the majority of our revenue from the sale of produce grown at our facilities. In response to realized cost inflation, we have implemented contractually allowable price increases which we anticipate to benefit from in 2023 and beyond.

Sales increased by $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase in sales from our Georgia facility, which became operational in July 2022, and also due to an increase in sales from our Montana Facility.

Sales increased by $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was due primarily to the Pete's Acquisition at the beginning of April 2022 and also due to an increase in sales from our Georgia facility.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold consists primarily of costs related to growing produce at our greenhouse facilities, including labor costs, which include wages, salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation, seeds, soil, nutrients and other input supplies, packaging materials, depreciation, utilities and other manufacturing overhead. We expect that, over time, cost of goods sold will decrease as a percentage of sales, as a result of scaling our business.

Cost of goods sold increased by $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, due primarily to increased production volume related to an increase in sales during the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 and, to a lesser extent, an increase in the cost of labor, utilities, and production supplies caused partially by weather-related variables at our California facilities. The extreme weather created some unique growing challenges that were exacerbated by facility damage that required repairs and maintenance. This resulted in lower production, which lead to a temporary decrease in fixed cost absorption that has since been resolved. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was negatively impacted due to the fair value step-up to expected selling price of acquired inventory from the Pete's Acquisition during the second quarter of 2022. This acquired inventory was subsequently sold during the second quarter of 2022 at the stepped-up value or at a zero margin, which negatively impacted gross margin during the second quarter of 2022 by $1.0 million or 16.6%.

Cost of goods sold increased by $6.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022, due primarily to increased production volume related to an increase in sales during the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022 driven by the Pete's Acquisition on April 4, 2022. We also experienced an increase of $0.7 million related to utilities price spikes in California and inclement weather-related costs that impacted yields at our California facilities, and an increase in the cost of labor, utilities, and production supplies. Cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was negatively impacted due to the fair value step-up to expected selling price of acquired inventory from the Pete's Acquisition during the second quarter of 2022. This acquired inventory was subsequently sold during the second quarter of 2022 at the stepped-up value or at a zero margin, which negatively impacted gross margin during the second quarter of 2022 by $1.0 million or 15.9%.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation to employees engaged in research and development activities, which include salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation, overhead (including depreciation, utilities and other related allocated expenses), and supplies and services related to the development of our growing processes. Our research and development efforts are focused on the development of our processes utilizing our facilities, increasing production yields, developing new leafy green SKUs and value-added products such as grab-and-go salads, and exploring new crops, including berries. We focus our research and development efforts in areas we believe will generate future revenue and grow our intellectual property portfolio across process improvements, genetics, computer, vision, artificial intelligence, and process controls. We expect that, over the long term, research and development will decrease as a percentage of sales, as a result of the establishment of our growing process.

Research and development costs increased by $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 and increased by $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase for both periods was due to increased investment in personnel, materials, supplies, and facility capacity usage for research and development purposes as we continue to expand our product offering and refine our growing process. We incurred costs for research and development of our production, harvesting, and post-harvest packaging techniques and processes, as well as production surplus costs related to the development and testing of our production processes.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general, and administrative expenses consist of employee compensation, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation for our executive, legal, finance, information technology, human resources and sales and marketing teams, expenses for third-party professional services, Pete's Acquisition related integration costs, insurance, marketing, advertising, computer hardware and software, and amortization of intangible assets, among others.
22



Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased by $6.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily driven by a $7.3 million decrease in stock-based compensation due to prior year awards that were issued at a higher fair value, as compared to the fair value of awards being expensed in the current period, were fully vested and expensed prior to the current year-to-date period. This decrease was partially offset by an increase of $0.8 million in professional, legal, accounting, and consulting fees.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased by $11.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily driven by a $12.7 million decrease in stock-based compensation due to prior year awards that were issued at a higher fair value, as compared to the fair value of awards being expensed in the current period, and were fully vested and expensed prior to the current year-to-date period, and a $3.8 million decrease in transaction costs due to the Pete's Acquisition in the prior year. This decrease was partially offset by an increase of $1.4 million in professional, legal, accounting, and consulting fees related to our strategic transactions and potential business acquisitions due diligence activities, an increase of $1.3 million in amortization of intangibles acquired as part of the Pete's Acquisition, and an increase of $0.8 million in salaries, wages, and benefits due to increased headcount from Company growth and the Pete's Acquisition.

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability

The change in fair value of warrant liability includes the mark-to-market adjustments to the warrant liability to reflect its fair value as of the end of the reporting period. The decrease in fair value of the warrant liability is primarily due to the significant decrease in our closing stock price at June 30, 2023 compared to the closing stock price on the warrant issuance date. The period-end Local Bounti Corporation close stock price is a key input to the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model we use to measure and estimate the fair value of the warrant at the end of each reporting period.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense consists primarily of contractual interest and amortization of debt issuance costs, net of interest capitalized for construction assets, related to the loans with Cargill Financial and also interest recognized per the terms of our financing obligation related to the Montana Facility and the Hollandia Facilities. We capitalize interest costs on borrowings during the construction period of major construction projects as part of the cost of the constructed assets.

Interest expense, net increased by $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase is primarily due to a $92.3 million increase in the principal amount outstanding on the Senior Facility as well as a variable rate increase on the Senior Facility period over period, which increased interest expense by $1.2 million over the prior year period. Also contributing to the net increase was $0.7 million of incremental interest expense related to the financing obligation for the Montana Facility and the Hollandia Facilities. We capitalized $3.2 million of interest during the three months ended June 30, 2023. No interest was capitalized during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Interest expense, net increased by $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase is primarily due to a $92.3 million increase in the principal amount outstanding on the Senior Facility as well as a variable rate increase on the Senior Facility period over period, which increased interest expense by $4.0 million over the prior year period. Also contributing to the net increase was $0.7 million of incremental interest expense for the financing obligation related to the Montana Facility and the Hollandia Facilities. We capitalized $5.3 million of interest during the six months ended June 30, 2023. No interest was capitalized during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have incurred losses and generated negative cash flows from operations since our inception. At June 30, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $213.5 million and cash and cash equivalents of $33.9 million.

As of June 30, 2023, the principal amount due under our credit facilities with Cargill Financial totaled $223.2 million, none of which is classified as current. These debt agreements contain various financial and non-financial covenants and certain restrictions on our business, which include restrictions on additional indebtedness, minimum liquidity and other financial covenants, and material adverse effects, that could cause us to be at risk of default. A failure to comply with the covenants and other provisions of these debt instruments, including any failure to make payments when required, would generally result in events of default under such instruments, which could result in the acceleration of a substantial portion of such indebtedness.

The CEA business is capital-intensive. Currently, our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources are cash on hand, cash flows generated from the sale of our products, and the Facilities with Cargill Financial. Cash expenditures over the next 12 months are expected to include interest payments on debt obligations, general operating costs for employee wages and related benefits, outside services for legal, accounting, IT infrastructure, and costs associated with growing, harvesting and selling our products, such as the purchase of seeds, soil, nutrients and other growing supplies, shipping and fulfillment costs, and facility maintenance costs.

We believe that our current cash position, cash flow from operations, the proceeds from the sale leaseback transaction (see Note 7, Financing Obligation, in Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional detail) and the borrowing capacity under our Facilities with Cargill Financial are sufficient to fund our basic cash requirements for 12 months from the date of issuance of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Also, while we believe the Facilities with Cargill Financial, as most recently amended, provide adequate resources and flexibility to fund our planned construction projects, our future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including those set forth in Part I, Item 1A of the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the event that our plans change, or our cash requirements are greater than we anticipate, we may need to curtail operations or delay construction activities.

Cargill Loans

In September 2021, the Company and Cargill Financial entered into the Senior Facility and the Subordinated Facility. Subsequent to the amendments described in Note 6, Debt, Cargill Financial may in its discretion provide advances under the Facilities of up to $280.0 million (plus interest and fees paid in kind), including capital to fund construction at the Company’s facilities in Georgia, Texas, and Washington, subject to certain conditions. As of June 30, 2023, a total of $178.0 million and $45.2 million was outstanding on the Senior Facility and the Subordinated Facility, respectively. The Senior Facility and the Subordinated Facility are included in "Long-term debt" on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

At June 30, 2023, our principal and estimated interest payment obligations for the Senior Facility and the Subordinated Facility are as follows(1):

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures


Limitations on effectiveness of control and procedures

In designing and evaluation our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls relative to their costs.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the six months ended June 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
See Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies, to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding legal proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material updates to our risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as updated by our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, other than the following:

We cannot assure you that our Reverse Stock Split will increase our stock price, marketability or our liquidity.

On June 15, 2023, we completed the Reverse Stock Split. We cannot predict the long-term effect of the Reverse Stock Split upon the market price for shares of our common stock, and the history of similar Reverse Stock Splits for companies in like circumstances has varied. Some investors may view a reverse stock split negatively. We cannot assure you that our common stock will be more attractive to institutional or other long-term investors or that it will attract brokers and investors who trade in lower priced stocks. Even if the Reverse Stock Split has a positive effect on the market price for shares of our common stock, the market price and liquidity of our common stock may decrease due to other factors, including our future performance, economic conditions and other factors, some of which may not be under our control. The percentage market price decline as an absolute number and as a percentage of our overall market capitalization may be greater than would occur in the absence of the Reverse Stock Split. The total market capitalization of our common stock following the Reverse Stock Split is lower than the total market capitalization before the Reverse Stock Split and it could continue to decline. In addition, the Reverse Stock Split increased the number of our stockholders who own "odd lots" of fewer than 100 shares of common stock. Brokerage commission and other costs of transactions in odd lots are generally higher than the costs of transactions of more than 100 shares of common stock. Accordingly, the Reverse Stock Split may not achieve the desired results of increasing the stock price, marketability and liquidity of our common stock, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

There were no unregistered sales of our equity securities during the period covered by this quarterly report which were not previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K.
