Beyond Meat (BYND) 已提供第三季度初步业绩以及仲裁更新。净收入预计约为$70 million,与先前指引一致。

毛利率预计为10%–11%,其中包括与在中国暂停并基本停止运营相关的约$1.7 million;去除此类费用后,毛利率预计为12%–13%。运营费用预计为$41–$43 million,其中大约$2 million为非经常性项目;若不计入这些,则为$39–$41 million。公司还预计对若干长期资产进行重大非现金减值,金额尚未估计。

在与一名前共同制造商的 Confidential Arbitration(保密仲裁)中,后者曾声称至少有$73.0 million的损害赔偿,仲裁员做出阶段性裁决,认定公司有正当依据终止协议。后续程序将处理律师费、判前利息及费用,尚未作出最终裁决。重新开启听证的申请被驳回。

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On October 24, 2025, Beyond Meat, Inc. (“Beyond Meat” or the “Company”) disclosed the following unaudited preliminary financial results as of and for the three months ended September 27, 2025.
Net revenue is expected to be approximately $70 million for the three months ended September 27, 2025, which is in line with the Company’s previous guidance range of $68 million to $73 million.
Gross margin is expected to be in the range of approximately 10% to 11% for the three months ended September 27, 2025, inclusive of approximately $1.7 million of expenses related to the suspension and substantial cessation of operational activities in China. Excluding these charges, gross margin is expected to be in the range of approximately 12% to 13%.
Operating expenses are expected to be in the range of approximately $41 million to $43 million for the three months ended September 27, 2025, inclusive of approximately $2 million of charges related to certain non-routine items, including incremental legal expenses associated with a contractual dispute with a former co-manufacturer, amortization of certain retention program expenses and costs related to a partial lease termination of a portion of the Company’s campus headquarters building. Excluding these charges, operating expenses are expected to be in the range of approximately $39 million to $41 million.
In addition to and not included in the preliminary estimates above, the Company expects to record a non-cash impairment charge for the three months ended September 27, 2025, related to certain of its long-lived assets. The Company’s recoverability test, conducted in accordance with ASC 360, preliminarily indicated that the carrying amount of certain of its long-lived assets was not recoverable from the projected undiscounted future cash flows of the relevant asset group. Although the impairment charge is expected to be material, the Company is not yet able to reasonably quantify the amount at this time.
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2025, are not yet available. Accordingly, the financial and operational results presented above are preliminary estimates and subject to the completion of the Company’s financial closing procedures and any adjustments that may result from the completion of the quarterly review and finalization of the condensed consolidated financial statements. As a result, these preliminary estimated results may differ from actual results that will be reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the fiscal quarter when it is completed and publicly disclosed. These preliminary estimated results may change and those changes may be material.
The Company’s expectations with respect to the unaudited preliminary estimated results for the period discussed above are based upon management estimates and are the responsibility of management. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has not audited, reviewed or performed any procedures with respect to these preliminary estimated results (including any financial data) and, accordingly, does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect to these preliminary estimated results.
The information contained in this Item 2.02 is “furnished” and not “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. Such information shall not be incorporated by reference in another filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except to the extent such other filing specifically incorporates such information by reference.



Item 8.01 Other Events.
The information reported under Item 2.02 is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
Arbitration with Former Co-Manufacturer.
As previously disclosed, in March 2024, a former co-manufacturer brought an action against the Company in a confidential arbitration proceeding claiming that the Company inappropriately terminated its agreement with the co-manufacturer and claimed damages of at least $73.0 million. On September 15, 2025, the arbitrator issued an interim award (the “Interim Award”) and found that the Company had a valid basis to terminate the agreement with the Manufacturer. The details of the Interim Award are confidential, and a final arbitration award has not been issued. Additional proceedings will be held to determine the award of attorneys’ fees, prejudgment interest and costs, if any, before a final arbitration award will be issued. On September 25, 2025, the Manufacturer filed a request with the arbitrator to re-open the arbitration hearing. On September 29, 2025, the Company opposed this request. On October 20, 2025, the arbitrator denied the Manufacturer’s request.
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.
Certain statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including statements related to the Company’s expectations with respect to its third quarter results, including net revenue, gross margin, operating expenses and the non-cash impairment charge for the three months ended September 27, 2025. These statements are based on management’s current opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions and projections regarding financial performance, prospects, future events and future results, 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 “expect,” “may,” “could,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “outlook,” “potential,” “continue,” “likely,” “will,” “would,” “preliminary,” and variations of these terms and similar expressions, or the negative of these terms of similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are only predictions, not historical fact, and involve certain risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by which or whether, such performance or results will be achieved. Actual results, levels of activity, performance, achievements and events could differ materially from those stated, anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements. While the Company 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. There are many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements made or implied herein including the risks discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on March 5, 2025, the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2025 filed with the SEC on May 8, 2025, the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2025 filed with the SEC on August 8, 2025, and under the heading “Supplementary Risk Factors” in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 6, 2025, as well as other factors described from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC. Such forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements because of new information, future



events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law. If it does update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be made that the Company will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.
