Were there any notable changes in capital expenditures, especially related to new CEA facilities or technology upgrades?

Answer

Based on the press‑release excerpt you provided, the announcement is limited to the scheduling of a conference call on Thursday, August 14 2025 at 8:00 a.m. ET to discuss Edible Garden’s second‑quarter 2025 financial results and give a business update. The release does not contain any specific details about the company’s capital‑expenditure (CapEx) plans, such as:

• New CEA (Controlled Environment Agriculture) facility construction
• Technology‑upgrade projects
• Changes in the overall CapEx budget or spending trends

Therefore, from the information available in the news release itself, we cannot confirm whether there were any notable changes in capital expenditures related to new CEA facilities or technology upgrades.

How to Find the Desired CapEx Information

1. Listen to / read the conference call transcript
   
   The call scheduled for August 14 2025 is the primary venue where Edible Garden’s management typically discusses operational and financial highlights—including CapEx. The transcript (or a replay) will often contain a dedicated “Capital Expenditures” or “Investments” section.

2. Review the Q2 2025 earnings release
   
   Companies usually issue a more detailed earnings press release (or an accompanying “Management Discussion & Analysis” section) that breaks out:

   • CapEx spend for the quarter
     
   • Year‑to‑date vs. prior‑year comparisons
     
   • Future CapEx outlook (e.g., planned CEA expansion, automation upgrades, new greenhouse construction).

3. Check SEC filings (e.g., Form 10‑Q for Q2 2025)
   
   The quarterly report filed with the SEC will list “Capital expenditures” in the cash‑flow statement and often include footnotes describing major projects—especially if they involve new facilities or significant technology investments.

4. Monitor subsequent investor‑relations updates
   
   After the call, Edible Garden may post a slide deck or a “Business Update” PDF on its investor‑relations website. Those materials frequently contain a “Capital Allocation” slide that highlights any new or ongoing CEA projects.

What to Expect (based on typical industry practice)

While we can’t confirm specifics for Edible Garden without the actual call content, companies in the controlled‑environment agriculture sector often report CapEx changes such as:

• Expansion of vertical‑farm or greenhouse footprints (e.g., adding new modules in existing sites or building a new facility in a strategic location).
  
• Technology upgrades like advanced LED lighting, climate‑control systems, automation/robotics, or data‑analytics platforms that improve yield and reduce labor.
  
• R&D capital spend for proprietary cultivation methods, breeding programs, or sustainability initiatives (e.g., water‑recycling systems).
  

If Edible Garden has undertaken any of these initiatives in the second quarter, the call would be the place where they would disclose the associated capital‑expenditure figures and any forward‑looking guidance.

Bottom Line

• The current press release does not disclose any CapEx details.
  
• To answer your question definitively, you’ll need to access the Q2 2025 earnings release, the conference‑call transcript, or the SEC filing (Form 10‑Q) that follows the August 14 2025 call. Those documents will list any notable changes in capital expenditures, especially those tied to new CEA facilities or technology upgrades.
