National Beverage Corp. Second Quarter Results Underscore Resilience and Commitment to Maximize Shareholder Performance

Key Terms

ebitda financial

EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. It measures a company's profitability by focusing on the money it makes from its core operations, ignoring expenses like taxes and accounting adjustments. Investors use EBITDA to compare how well different companies are performing financially, as it provides a clearer picture of operational success without the influence of financial structure or accounting choices.

non-gaap financial

Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.

basis points financial

Basis points are a way to measure small changes in interest rates or percentages, where one basis point equals 0.01%. For example, if a loan's interest rate increases by 50 basis points, it's gone up by 0.50%. They help people understand tiny differences in rates that can add up over time, making financial comparisons clearer.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- National Beverage Corp. (NASDAQ: FIZZ) today announced results for its second quarter ended November 1, 2025.

LaCroix Pineapple Coconut . . . Harmoniously Combined!

For the three months:

• Net sales were $288 million;
• Operating income increased to $58 million; and
• Basic earnings per share increased to $.50.

For the trailing twelve months:

• Net sales increased to $1.2 billion;
• EBITDA* increased 63 basis points to $258 million;
• Earnings per share were $1.99; and
• Cash increased $156 million to $269 million.

“Second quarter results reflect the broader economic environment that many consumer-facing companies are navigating today. Ongoing inflation, elevated commodity costs, the continued impact of tariffs and the recent federal government shutdown have influenced purchasing behavior across the industry, with consumers becoming more cautious in their spending. While these external factors contributed to a modest decline in net sales, price/mix improvements resulted in increases in operating profit and net income, demonstrating the underlying strength and resilience of our business model,” stated a company spokesperson.

“Importantly, our fundamentals remain strong and the elements of our business model remain resilient – unique brands positioned to leverage long-term health and wellness trends; long-standing relationships with major US retailers; exceptional consumer loyalty and an entrepreneurial management team noted for creativity and innovation. We have delivered excellent results for 40 years with a compounded annual return to shareholders of over 13%. During the second quarter, we repurchased 20,000 FIZZ shares prior to the start of our quarterly ‘blackout’ period. As stated in our October 30^th announcement of the stock buyback program, ‘Our company remains fundamentally strong and continues to generate superior cash flows.' ”

“We are excited to introduce our newest LaCroix innovation, Pineapple Coconut, in early 2026. A radiant fusion of juicy pineapple sparkled with a velvety coconut finish, Pineapple Coconut delivers a sweet balance of flavor that’s . . . Harmoniously Combined!”

“As we look forward to celebrating our 40^th Christmas together as National Beverage Corp., we wish heartfelt blessings of peace and joy to all this special holiday season,” concluded the spokesperson.
