Nature's Miracle Announces Grow Light Sales Order of $5.1 Million by What Rebates LLC

ONTARIO, Calif., July 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Nature's Miracle Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: NMHI) ("Nature's Miracle" or the "Company"), a leader in vertical farming technology and infrastructure, today announced that it has signed a sales order agreement for $5.1 million of grow light products for use by the U.S. energy rebate market with What Rebates LLC ("What Rebates"), a utility rebate company specializing in product offerings for the agricultural sector.   Supported by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) implemented by the U.S. Government, 78% of the U.S. is covered by an active commercial lighting rebate program. The business of Nature's Miracle and What Rebates remain direct beneficiaries given the support measures and government resources. 

Due to our focus on sales growth and marketing, Nature's Miracle continues to receive significant demand for our Efinity brand grow lights and remains firmly positioned to be a leading provider of energy efficient lighting and other products in the indoor grow market. The order by What Rebates is expected to be delivered in late 2024 and will increase Nature's Miracle's 2024 gross revenue by $5.1 million.

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 by the U.S. Government was implemented to make a historic down payment on deficit reduction to fight inflation, invest in domestic energy production and manufacturing, and reduce carbon emissions by roughly 40 percent by 2030. Under this Act, FY2022 Budget Reconciliation bill will invest approximately $300 billion in Deficit Reduction and $369 billion in Energy Security and Climate Change programs over the next ten years.  Based on this Act, 78% of the US is covered by an active commercial lighting rebate program. The rebates come from multiple sources such as utility companies, municipalities, states, and non-profit organizations and can help offset the initial cost of installing energy-saving LED lighting.
