Key Terms

all commodity volume financial
All Commodity Volume (ACV) is a distribution metric that measures the share of total retail sales represented by the stores that carry a particular product, with each store weighted by its overall sales volume. For investors, ACV shows how much of the retail market a product or brand can reach—similar to knowing what percentage of all shoppers visit the stores where the product is available—helping gauge potential exposure and scale.
adjusted ebitda financial
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
non-gaap financial measure financial
A non-GAAP financial measure is a way companies present their financial results that excludes certain expenses or income to show how they believe their core business is performing. It matters because it can give a clearer picture of how the company is really doing, but it can also be used to make results look better than they actually are.
forward-looking statements regulatory
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- BRC Inc. (NYSE: BRCC, the "Company" or "Black Rifle"), a Veteran-founded, mission-driven premium beverage company, today announced financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026.

“Our second quarter performance reflects continued execution against the priorities we established for 2026 and the strength of our core coffee business,” said BRCC Chief Executive Officer Chris Mondzelewski. “Expanded distribution and increased shelf presence drove strong Wholesale growth as part of our land-and-expand strategy, while Direct-to-Consumer delivered its strongest year-over-year growth rate in more than four years. Our programming around America’s 250th anniversary has been in market since the beginning of the year and ramped up throughout the second quarter. These efforts give us a timely way to reach more consumers, reinforce the values that define BRCC and expand our support for veterans, service members and first responders.”

“The business delivered strong second quarter revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth while continuing to improve cash conversion,” said BRCC Chief Financial Officer Matt Amigh. “Gross margin stabilized during the first half of 2026, including modest expansion in the second quarter, and we expect greater improvement in the second half of 2026 as lower green coffee costs begin to flow through cost of sales, supported by ongoing portfolio mix and productivity initiatives. We remain highly focused on driving structural improvements across the operating model to support earnings growth and improve working capital efficiency. These initiatives are already increasing cash generation and strengthening the balance sheet, while building a foundation to support sustained progress as the business grows. Based on our first-half results and execution against our full-year plan, we are maintaining our outlook of at least 8% revenue growth and at least 35% Adjusted EBITDA growth.”

Second Quarter 2026 Results

Net revenue for the second quarter of 2026 increased 12.8% to $107.0 million, compared to $94.8 million in the second quarter of 2025. Wholesale revenue increased 15.2% to $70.6 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $61.3 million in the second quarter of 2025. Growth in the Wholesale channel was primarily driven by expanded distribution of packaged coffee, which increased unit volumes across food and mass retailers, as well as by higher pricing.

Direct-to-Consumer ("DTC") revenue increased 13.6% to $31.4 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $27.6 million in the second quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by growth through third-party digital retail marketplaces, partially offset by lower subscription revenue. Revenue from Black Rifle Coffee shops ("Outposts") decreased 15.0% to $5.0 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $5.9 million in the second quarter of 2025. The decline was driven by lower transaction volumes and lower average order value in Company-operated Outposts.

Gross profit increased 13.4% to $36.5 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $32.2 million in the second quarter of 2025. Gross margin increased 15 basis points to 34.1% in the second quarter of 2026, from 33.9% in the second quarter of 2025. The improvement was primarily driven by pricing actions, lower shipping and fulfillment costs resulting from productivity gains under our Operational Improvement Plan, and a decrease in the reserve for excess and obsolete inventory. These benefits were partially offset by higher green coffee input costs and tariffs, as well as higher third-party e-commerce marketplace fees, which scale with strong growth in marketplace channel sales.

Marketing expenses increased 7.8% to $10.5 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $9.8 million in the second quarter of 2025. As a percentage of revenue, marketing expenses decreased 50 basis points to 9.8% in the second quarter of 2026, compared to 10.3% in the second quarter of 2025. The dollar increase was driven by higher investment in content production, agency support, and partnerships, partially offset by reduced spending on ad placement and in-store marketing. The decline as a percentage of revenue reflects operating leverage, as revenue growth outpaced the increase in marketing spend.

Salaries, wages and benefits expenses decreased 2.0% to $15.5 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $15.8 million in the second quarter of 2025. As a percentage of revenue, salaries, wages and benefits expenses decreased 220 basis points to 14.5% in the second quarter of 2026, compared to 16.7% in the second quarter of 2025. The decrease reflects lower fixed personnel costs due to reduced headcount, partially offset by higher incentive-based compensation.

General and administrative ("G&A") expenses decreased 35.2% to $9.3 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $14.3 million in the second quarter of 2025. As a percentage of revenue, G&A expenses decreased 640 basis points to 8.7% in the second quarter of 2026, compared to 15.1% in the second quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by lower legal fees, consulting and professional fees, and depreciation and amortization expense.

Other operating expenses, net decreased 97.7% to $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $4.9 million in the second quarter of 2025. As a percentage of revenue, other operating expenses decreased 510 basis points to 0.1% in the second quarter of 2026, compared to 5.2% in the second quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the absence of legal contingency charges recorded in the prior-year period.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2026 was $0.2 million, and Adjusted EBITDA was $6.3 million, compared to a net loss of $14.5 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $2.4 million in the second quarter of 2025.

The guidance provided above constitutes forward-looking statements and actual results may differ materially. Refer to the “Forward-Looking Statements” safe harbor section below for information on the factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements.

We have not reconciled forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income (loss), in reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception provided under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. We cannot predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain components of such reconciliation, including market-related assumptions that are not within our control, or others that may arise, without unreasonable effort. For these reasons, we are unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could materially impact the amount of future net income (loss). See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional important information regarding Adjusted EBITDA.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

The events and circumstances reflected in the Company’s forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause such forward-looking statements to differ from actual results include, but are not limited to: competition and our ability to grow, manage sustainable expansion, and retain key employees; failure to compete effectively with other producers, distributors and retailers of coffee and energy drinks; our limited operating history, which may hinder the successful execution of strategic initiatives and make it difficult to assess future risks and challenges; challenges in managing rapid growth, inventory needs, and relationships with key business partners; inability to raise additional capital necessary for business development; failure to achieve or sustain long-term profitability; inability to effectively manage debt obligations; failure to maximize the value of assets received through bartering transactions; negative publicity affecting our brand, reputation, or that of key employees; failure to uphold our position as a supportive member of the military, Veteran and first-responder communities, or other factors negatively affecting brand perception; inability to establish and maintain strong brand recognition through intellectual property or other means; shifts in consumer spending, lack of interest in new products or changes in brand perception upon evolving consumer preferences and tastes, including due to shifts in demographic or health and wellness trends, reduction in discretionary spending and price increases, and our ability to anticipate or react to these changes; price changes that are insufficient to offset cost increases; unsuccessful marketing campaigns that incur costs without attracting new customers or realizing higher revenue; failure to attract new customers or retain existing customers; risks associated with reliance on social media platforms, including dependence on third-party platforms for marketing and engagement; variable performance of the direct to consumer revenue channel; inability to effectively manage or scale distribution through Wholesale business partners, particularly key Wholesale partners; failure to manage supply chain operations effectively, including inaccurate forecasting of raw material and co-manufacturing requirements; loss of one or more co-manufacturers or production delays, quality issues, or labor-related disruptions affecting manufacturing output; supply chain disruptions or failures by third-party suppliers and logistics service-providers to deliver coffee, store supplies, RTD beverage ingredients, or merchandise, including disruptions caused by external factors; ongoing risks related to supply chain volatility and reliability, including tariffs, as well as political and climate risks; fluctuations in the market for high-quality coffee beans and other key commodities; unpredictable changes in the cost and availability of labor, raw materials, equipment, transportation, or shipping; failure to successfully improve profitability of existing Outposts, including challenges or delays with the implementation of operational and strategic changes; risks related to long-term, non-cancelable lease obligations and other real estate-related concerns; inability of franchise partners to successfully operate and manage their franchise locations; failure to maintain high-quality customer experiences for retail partners and end users, including production defects or issues caused by co-manufacturers that negatively impact product quality and brand reputation; failure to comply with food safety regulations or maintain product quality standards; difficulties in successfully expanding into new markets; failure to comply with federal, state, and local laws and regulations, or inability to prevail in civil litigation matters; risks related to potential unionization of employees; failure to execute our operational improvement plan to reduce costs and improve efficiency of certain company-wide functions; failure to protect against cybersecurity threats, software vulnerabilities, or hardware security risks; volatility in the trading prices of our Class A Common Stock; and other risks and uncertainties indicated in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 2, 2026 including those set forth under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” included therein, as well as in our other filings with the SEC. Such forward-looking statements are based on information available as of the date of this press release and the Company’s current beliefs and expectations concerning future developments and their effects on the Company, and speak only as of the date hereof.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To evaluate the performance of our business, we rely on both our results of operations recorded in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. These measures, as defined below, are not defined or calculated under principles, standards or rules that comprise GAAP. Accordingly, the non-GAAP financial measures we use and refer to should not be viewed as a substitute for performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Our definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA described below are specific to our business and you should not assume that they are comparable to similarly titled financial measures of other companies.

We define EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense. We define Adjusted EBITDA, as EBITDA adjusted for equity-based compensation, write-off of site development costs, non-routine legal expenses and restructuring fees and related costs.

When used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, we believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful supplemental measures of operating performance and liquidity because these measures facilitate comparisons of historical performance by excluding non-cash items such as equity-based compensation and other amounts not directly attributable to our primary operations, such as write-off of site development costs, non-routine legal expense and restructuring fees and related costs. Adjusted EBITDA is also a key metric used internally by our management to evaluate performance and develop internal budgets and forecasts. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyzing our results as reported under GAAP and may not provide a complete understanding of our operating results as a whole. Some of these limitations are (i) they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs, (ii) they do not reflect our interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt, (iii) they do not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes, (iv) they do not reflect historical capital expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments, (v) although equity-based compensation expenses are non-cash charges, we rely on equity compensation to compensate and incentivize employees, directors and certain consultants, and we may continue to do so in the future and (vi) although depreciation, amortization and impairments are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and these non-GAAP measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.

A reconciliation of net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is set forth below:
