Introduction

​

This section includes a discussion of our operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. The following discussion and analysis provide information that management believes is relevant to assessing and understanding our financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2025 Annual Report, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the related Notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 of this report.

​

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

​

There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as described in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of the Company’s 2025 Annual Report.

Economic Conditions

​

Impacts of Demand for Safe-Haven Metals

​

Precious metals prices reached record levels in late January 2026 and declined meaningfully during the second quarter of Fiscal 2026, while remaining above average levels for the comparable prior-year period. Sustained declines in precious metal prices may reduce customer selling activity and affect inbound inventory sourcing, while elevated prices may subdue retail jewelry demand. While the current market for safe-haven metals has generally led to stronger premiums within our

consumer segment, especially for gold and silver, demand for these metals has created industry-wide backlogs and slowed payments from refiners, which the Company has experienced. The impact on working capital is having to pay more to procure inventory, and the delayed conversion of accounts receivable from refiners. While the length of the current cycle and the steps domestic refiners will take to address processing capacity are indeterminate, the Company is closely monitoring its inbound buying practices, cash, inventory levels, and its accounts receivable exposure with its refining customers. The Company believes it has sufficient liquidity to maintain its current buying practices, yet it can adjust its buying programs to reduce exposure should these conditions materially affect its ability to convert accounts receivable. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company collected the outstanding accounts receivable from a refining customer as of December 31, 2025, reducing the working capital impact of these conditions as of the date of this report.

Impacts of Government Legislation

​

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law, which includes significant changes to federal tax law and other regulatory provisions that may impact the Company. We have evaluated the provisions of the new law and its potential effects on our effective tax rate, results of operations, and financial condition. OBBBA allows businesses to immediately deduct the full cost of qualifying assets in the year they are placed in service, rather than spreading the deduction over several years, and is effective for property acquired and placed in service after January 19, 2025. OBBBA also requires businesses to recognize the effects of tax law changes in the period of enactment, such as remeasuring estimated U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company intends to utilize bonus depreciation, effectively reducing taxable income in the respective tax period and the cash deployed to settle such obligations. There was no material impact on the effective tax rate, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows during three and six months ended June 30, 2026. In future fiscal periods, the impact of OBBBA is contingent on the continued election of bonus depreciation and the amount of qualifying assets acquired by the Company.

​

Impacts of Increases in Interest Rates and Inflation

​

Rising interest rates and inflation, coupled with commodity price risk, mainly associated with fluctuations in the market prices of precious metals and diamonds, could affect consumer discretionary spending. Furthermore, adverse macroeconomic conditions can also impact demand for the resale of personal technology assets.

​

To counterbalance economic cycles that impact market selling prices and/or underlying operating costs, we adjust the inbound purchase price of commodity-based products, luxury hard assets, and resale technology.

​

We continuously monitor our inventory positions and associated working capital to respond to market conditions and to meet seasonal business cycles and expansionary plans. These economic cycles may, from time to time, require the business to use its line of credit or seek additional capital.

​

Impacts of Tariffs

​

The U.S. government has recently adopted new approaches to trade policy, announced tariffs on certain foreign goods and certain global tariffs, and signaled the possibility of significant additional tariff increases or tariff expansions. Specifically, under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, tariffs were imposed on the importation of aluminum, copper, steel, and certain derivative products, but excluded gold and silver. The impact of such tariffs and retaliatory tariffs by other countries continues to evolve and requires regular monitoring and evaluation. The deemed impacts of tariffs on each of our reportable segments are detailed below:

​

Consumer Segment

​

The consumer segment does not source inventory from or sell into international markets, so it is not directly impacted by tariffs. However, global market uncertainty caused by tariffs can increase commodity costs on safe-haven metals such as gold and silver, which may increase working capital requirements. The Company mitigates increased working capital requirements by monitoring its inventory position and turnover and by maintaining disciplined buying practices to preserve margins.

​

​

Commercial Segment

​

The commercial segment periodically purchases limited quantities of personal technology assets and replacement parts for resale from international markets. Tariffs may increase costs for original equipment manufacturers, retailers, and parts distributors and, as a result, may require the Company to pay more for the purchase of personal technology assets for resale and replacement parts, thereby increasing the Company’s required working capital. The Company mitigates increased working capital requirements by monitoring its inventory position and turnover, maintaining disciplined buying practices, and using optimal domestic or international sales channels to preserve margins.

​

There can be no assurance that the measures we have adopted will be successful in mitigating the aforementioned risks.

​

Our Business

​

Envela serves as a holding company, conducting its operations via subsidiaries engaged in various businesses and activities within the recommerce and recycling sectors. The products and services we offer are delivered by our subsidiaries under their distinct brands, rather than directly by Envela itself. Significant business activities within our reportable segments are detailed below:

​

Consumer Segment

​

Our consumer segment primarily operates in the jewelry industry, specializing in the online and brick-and-mortar sale of authenticated high-end luxury goods, including pre-owned fine jewelry, diamonds and gemstones, luxury watches, and secondary market bullion. We incorporate recycled diamonds and gemstones into new designs, meaning they were previously set and unset, resulting in a low-carbon, ethically sourced product. The Company caters to consumers seeking environmentally responsible options for engagement rings, wedding bands, and other fine jewelry at accessible prices. Our profound commitment to extending the lifespan of luxury goods stems from our understanding that well-crafted items possess enduring quality, enabling them to maintain their beauty and value as they pass from one owner to another.

​

Commercial Segment

​

Our commercial segment specializes in the de-manufacturing of end-of-life electronic assets to reclaim commodities and other materials, while also engaging in the ITAD and product returns industry. Separated commodities, including metals, plastics, and glass, are sold to downstream processors where they are further processed and reintroduced into new products. ITAD services maximize the residual value of retired IT assets by adhering to a reuse-first philosophy and ensuring equipment is refurbished and re-marketed after data sanitization. Our product returns business reintroduces products back into the supply chain, crea

Introduction

This management’s discussion and analysis provides comparisons of material changes in the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024. The following discussion and analysis also provides information that management believes is relevant to the assessment and understanding of our results of operation, financial condition, liquidity, and capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenue generated and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and various other factors we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, and the results of which form the basis for judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily determinable from other sources. Actual results may differ from these judgments and estimates under different assumptions or conditions, and any such differences may be material.

See Note 3 – Accounting Policies and Estimates for further details.

Impacts of High Interest Rates and Inflation

The U.S. and other global economies are currently experiencing high interest rates and elevated inflation, coupled with commodity price risk, mainly associated with fluctuations in the market prices of precious metals and diamonds, which could affect consumer discretionary spending.

We are proud of our role in supporting a circular economy through the responsible reuse and recycling of electronic devices.

​

Segment Activities

The Company believes it is well-positioned to take advantage of its overall capital structure.

Consumer Segment

Our strategy is to expand the number of locations we operate by opening new locations throughout the U.S. Likewise, we continue to evaluate opportunities related to complementary product and service offerings for our stores and online business.

Commercial Segment

Our strategy is to expand both organically and through acquisitions. Our processing facilities are capable of managing the expansion of existing relationships and consolidation of acquisition targets within relative geographic proximity into our existing facilities.
