Core Viewpoint - Where Food Comes From, Inc.

Earnings Overview - WFCF's diluted earnings per share for Q4 2024 were 18 cents, a 28.6% increase from 14 cents in the same quarter last year, primarily due to a $345,000 gain in bitcoin holdings [2][11]. - Total quarterly revenues were $6.7 million, unchanged from the previous year, while gross profit decreased by 7% to $2.8 million from $3 million [2].
