Beyond Meat® Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Rhea-AI Summary

Beyond Meat (NASDAQ: BYND) reported second quarter 2026 net revenues of $68.8 million, down 8.2% year-over-year, as volumes fell 9.5% and net revenue per pound rose 1.3%. Gross profit was $5.9 million with an 8.5% margin, including $1.6 million of China-cessation expenses.

Loss from operations narrowed to $30.8 million from $37.5 million, aided by lower operating expenses and an $11.0 million arbitration-related credit, partly offset by a $4.7 million incremental share-based compensation charge. Total other income rose to $47.2 million, mainly from a $57.7 million non-cash gain on debt extinguishment, resulting in net income of $16.4 million versus a prior-year loss. Adjusted EBITDA loss was $27.7 million, or -40.2% of net revenues. Cash and equivalents were $186.1 million and debt carrying value $323.8 million at quarter-end. For third quarter 2026, Beyond Meat expects net revenues of $60–$65 million.

Analysis

The earnings record averaged -9.88% across tag-matched events. Against this backdrop, the quarter's non-cash gain, declining revenue and Q3 outlook warrant separating reported profitability from operating performance; the active S-3 shelf is not effective. Watch revenue stabilization and margin progression.

Key Terms

adjusted ebitda, convertible debt exchange, debt extinguishment, sg&a

4 terms

adjusted ebitda financial

"Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $27.7 million"

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.

convertible debt exchange financial

"related to the Company’s convertible debt exchange"

A convertible debt exchange is a deal where holders swap existing convertible loans or bonds for different securities, such as new debt, equity, or a mix of both. Think of it as trading one form of IOU for another or for company shares; it can ease a company’s near-term cash burden, change how much shareholders get diluted, and alter investors’ prospects for repayment or upside. Investors watch these swaps because they affect a company’s debt load, ownership mix, and future value.

debt extinguishment financial

"non-cash gain on debt extinguishment"

Debt extinguishment is the process of eliminating a company's obligation to repay borrowed money, whether by paying it off, refinancing it with new borrowing, or settling it for less than the original amount. For investors, it matters because removing or replacing debt changes a business’s cash needs, risk profile and reported profit—much like paying off a mortgage early or refinancing at a different rate alters your monthly budget and long‑term costs.

sg&a financial

"certain non-routine SG&A expenses"

SG&A stands for Selling, General, and Administrative expenses. It includes the costs a company spends on selling products, running the business day-to-day, and managing staff, like advertising, rent, and salaries. These expenses matter because they affect how much profit a company can make from its sales.

Second Quarter 2026

Net revenues decreased 8.2% to $68.8 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $75.0 million in the year-ago period. The decrease in net revenues was primarily driven by a 9.5% decrease in volume of products sold, partially offset by a 1.3% increase in net revenue per pound. The decrease in volume of products sold was primarily driven by lower sales of burger and chicken products to Quick Service Restaurant (“QSR”) customers in the international foodservice channel, and by weak category demand and reduced points of distribution in the U.S. foodservice and retail channels. The increase in net revenue per pound was primarily driven by changes in product sales mix and favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by higher trade discounts.

U.S. retail channel net revenues decreased 9.9% to $29.6 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $32.9 million in the year-ago period. The decrease in U.S. retail channel net revenues was primarily driven by a 5.7% decrease in volume of products sold and a 4.5% decrease in net revenue per pound. The decrease in volume of products sold was primarily driven by weak category demand and reduced points of distribution within certain channels. The decrease in net revenue per pound was primarily driven by higher trade discounts and lower price realization on certain of the Company’s products, partially offset by changes in product sales mix.

U.S. foodservice channel net revenues decreased 27.6% to $8.0 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $11.1 million in the year-ago period. The decrease in U.S. foodservice channel net revenues was primarily driven by a 27.4% decrease in volume of products sold and a 0.2% decrease in net revenue per pound. The decrease in volume of products sold was primarily driven by weak category demand and reduced points of distribution. The decrease in net revenue per pound was primarily driven by lower price realization on certain of the Company’s products and higher trade discounts, partially offset by changes in product sales mix.

International retail channel net revenues increased 16.5% to $18.5 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $15.9 million in the year-ago period. The increase in international retail channel net revenues was primarily driven by an 8.2% increase in volume of products sold and a 7.7% increase in net revenue per pound. The increase in volume of products sold was primarily driven by higher sales of burger products and chicken products in European markets and the U.K., and increased sales of ground beef products in Canada. The increase in net revenue per pound was primarily driven by price increases of certain of the Company’s products and favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by higher trade discounts.

International foodservice channel net revenues decreased 16.0% to $12.7 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $15.1 million in the year-ago period. The decrease in international foodservice channel net revenues was primarily driven by a 20.4% decrease in volume of products sold, partially offset by a 5.5% increase in net revenue per pound. The decrease in volume of products sold was primarily driven by lower sales of burger and chicken products to certain QSR customers. The increase in net revenue per pound was primarily driven by favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates and lower trade discounts.

Gross profit in the second quarter of 2026 was $5.9 million, or gross margin of 8.5%, compared to gross profit of $7.9 million, or gross margin of 10.6%, in the year-ago period. Gross profit and gross margin in the second quarter of 2026 included $1.6 million in expenses related to the cessation of the Company’s operational activities in China, compared to $1.7 million in the year-ago period.

The increase in cost of goods sold per pound primarily reflected increased materials costs and higher manufacturing expenses, including depreciation, which included $1.6 million in expenses related to the cessation of our operational activities in China, partially offset by lower inventory provision.
Operating expenses were $36.7 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $45.4 million in the year-ago period.

Loss from operations in the second quarter of 2026 was $30.8 million, compared to $37.5 million in the year-ago period. The reduction in loss from operations was driven by the decrease in operating expenses, partially offset by the decrease in gross profit.

Total other income, net, was $47.2 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $5.7 million in the year-ago period. The increase in total other income, net, was primarily due to $57.7 million in non-cash gain on debt extinguishment in connection with conversions of a portion of the Company’s 2030 Notes, partially offset by a $4.6 million increase in interest expense and a $3.8 million non-cash loss from the remeasurement of derivative liability.

Net loss per share available to common stockholders - diluted was $(0.06), compared to net loss per share available to common stockholders - diluted of $(0.42) in the year-ago period.

Forward-looking statements are based on management's current opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions and projections regarding financial performance, prospects, future events and future results, including ongoing uncertainty related to macroeconomic issues, including high inflation and interest rates, prolonged, weakening demand in the plant-based meat category, ongoing concerns about the likelihood of a recession and increased competition, among other matters, and involve known and unknown risks that are difficult to predict. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “may,” “could,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “outlook,” “potential,” “continue,” “likely,” “will,” “would” and variations of these terms and similar expressions, or the negative of these terms or similar expressions.

Actual results, levels of activity, performance, achievements and events could differ materially from those stated, anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements. While Beyond Meat believes that its assumptions are reasonable, it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors and, of course, it is impossible to anticipate all factors that could affect actual results.

our ability to successfully innovate and commercialize new plant-based protein products, including in adjacent categories outside of our core, meat analog offerings, such as our Beyond Immerse functional beverage line of sparkling plant-based protein drinks, and consumer acceptance of such new products; the sufficiency of our cash and cash equivalents to meet our liquidity needs, including estimates of our expenses, future revenues, capital expenditures and capital requirements; our ability to obtain additional equity and/or debt financing, the terms of any such financing, and our ability to continue to bolster our balance sheet, particularly because we no longer satisfy the eligibility requirements for use of a registration statement on Form S-3 and, as a result, are unable to access our ATM Program; risks associated with our indebtedness, leverage and liquidity relating to our significant debt, including our ability to repay, refinance, equitize (in the case of our 0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”) that remain outstanding) and otherwise satisfy our obligations under each of the Loan and Security Agreement, the 2027 Notes that remain outstanding and our 7.00% Convertible Senior Secured Second Lien PIK Toggle Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Notes” and, together with the 2027 Notes, the “Notes”) issued in the exchange offer related to the 2027 Notes, which was completed on October 30, 2025 (the “Exchange Offer”), and our ability to comply with the covenants in the Loan and Security Agreement and respective indentures governing the Notes; our ability to raise the funds necessary to repurchase the Notes for cash, under certain circumstances, or to pay any cash amounts due under the Notes; the impact of the Exchange Offer on future availability of our pre-change net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes to offset our future net taxable income; the annual limitations on utilization of any remaining operating loss and tax credit carryforwards due to ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code and similar state tax provisions, and the outcomes of any related audits or examinations;

ongoing and persistent declines in demand in the plant-based meat category and for our products, or strategic decisions that result in changes to our product portfolio, including the potential discontinuation of certain product lines through initiatives stemming from our transformation office and program or other strategic measures, which may require us to write-down or write-off excess or obsolete inventories;

Correction of Previously Issued Interim Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

During the fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial close procedures, the Company identified errors in its previously issued interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the first three quarters of 2025 relating to (i) inventory valuation and (ii) debt issuance costs. The Company determined that the errors identified were immaterial to its previously issued interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 28, 2025 and has corrected these errors prospectively in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 28, 2025 in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 250, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.”

As a result, the comparative financial information for the three and six months ended June 28, 2025 included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related non-GAAP reconciliations presented herein reflects these corrections and may differ from amounts previously reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2025.

To assist investors in reconciling amounts previously reported to the “as corrected” amounts presented herein, the Company has included the following tables that summarize the affected line items and totals. Readers should review these tables together with the discussion above, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein, and the additional detail in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q for the quarter ended June 27, 2026, when filed with the SEC.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Beyond Meat uses the non-GAAP financial measures set forth below in assessing its operating performance and in its financial communications. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful additional information to investors about current trends in the Company's operations and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of operations. In addition, management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to assess operating performance and for business planning purposes. Management also believes these measures are widely used by investors, securities analysts, rating agencies and other parties in evaluating companies in the Company’s industry as a measure of its operational performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for the comparable GAAP measures. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies.

“Adjusted loss from operations” is defined as loss from operations adjusted to exclude, when applicable, costs attributable to special items, which are those items deemed not to be reflective of the Company’s ongoing normal business activities.

“Adjusted operating margin” is defined as Adjusted loss from operations divided by net revenues.

“Adjusted net loss” is defined as net loss adjusted to exclude, when applicable, costs attributable to special items, which are those items deemed not to be reflective of the Company’s normal business activities.

“Adjusted net loss per diluted common share” is defined as Adjusted net loss divided by the number of diluted common shares outstanding.

The Company considers Adjusted loss from operations, Adjusted operating margin, Adjusted net loss and Adjusted net loss per diluted common share to be useful indicators of operating performance because excluding special items allows for period-over-period comparisons of its ongoing operations. Adjusted net loss per diluted common share is a performance measure and should not be used as a measure of liquidity.

“Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude, when applicable, income tax expense (benefit), interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation expense, non-cash charges related to the cessation of our operational activities in China, costs related to a partial lease termination of a portion of the Campus Headquarters, settlement related to dispute with former co-manufacturer, remeasurement of delayed draw term loan warrant liability, remeasurement of derivative liability, and Other, net, including interest income, gain on debt extinguishment, foreign currency transaction gains and losses, and the reclassification of cumulative foreign currency translation losses from accumulated other comprehensive loss to Other (expense) income, net upon the cessation of our operational activities in China.

“Adjusted EBITDA as a % of net revenues” is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenues.

Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA has been updated from the definition used in our 2025 10-K to reflect the following changes: (i) we removed the adjustments for restructuring expenses, non-cash loss from impairment of long-lived assets and gain on debt restructuring, net of exchange fees, as these items related to transactions completed in 2025 and are not expected to recur in 2026; (ii) we removed litigation-related accruals as there were no such accruals in the three and six months ended June 27, 2026 and June 28, 2025; (iii) we removed accrued litigation settlement costs, as the class action settlement was finalized in 2025; (iv) we added settlement related to dispute with former co-manufacturer; and (v) we added gain on debt extinguishment to Other, net, to reflect gains arising from conversions of the 2030 Notes, in the three and six months ended June 27, 2026, and reclassification of cumulative foreign currency translation losses from accumulated other comprehensive loss to Other (expense) income, net upon the cessation of our operational activities in China. These definitional changes had no impact on previously reported Adjusted EBITDA for the comparative period presented, as there were no restructuring expenses, impairment charges, gain on debt restructuring, litigation-related accruals, accrued litigation settlement costs or gain on debt extinguishment in the three and six months ended June 28, 2025.

There are a number of limitations related to the use of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a % of net revenues rather than their most directly comparable GAAP measures. Some of these limitations are:

• Adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization expense and, although these are non-cash expenses, the assets being depreciated may have to be replaced in the future increasing our cash requirements;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense, or the cash required to service our debt, which reduces cash available to us;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income tax payments that reduce cash available to us;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect share-based compensation expense and therefore does not include all of our compensation costs;
• Adjusted EBITDA excludes the SG&A decrease related to our settlement we received in a legal matter;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect non-cash charges and reclassification of cumulative foreign currency translation losses from accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings, related to the cessation of our operational activities in China;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect certain cash costs related to a partial lease termination of a portion of the Campus Headquarters, which reduces cash available to us;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the non-cash impact of the gain on debt extinguishment;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the non-cash impact of the remeasurement of delayed draw term loan warrant liability;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the non-cash impact of the remeasurement of derivative liability;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect Other, net, including interest income, gain on debt extinguishment and foreign currency transaction gains and losses, that may increase or decrease cash available to us; and
• other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.
