Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Suja Life, Inc. (SUJA) reported third-quarter 2026 net sales of $76.4 million, up 3.3% year over year. Net loss narrowed 43% to $8.3 million from $14.6 million, while Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, rose to $10.5 million from $1.0 million. Gross profit margin was 43.9%, compared with 46.3% a year earlier. Net sales benefited from the timing of approximately $2.0 million in shipments that had been expected in the fourth quarter. Suja attributed the lower margin to higher promotional investment, unfavorable fixed-cost absorption from lower production volumes, and higher inbound freight and packaging costs.

For the first nine months, net loss was $28.4 million versus $21.1 million, and net cash used in operating activities was $1.7 million versus $0.4 million. Suja now expects fiscal 2026 net sales of $351.0 million to $354.0 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $68.0 million to $70.0 million, with stated growth of 7.5% to 8.4% and 67.9% to 72.8%, respectively. As of September 28, 2026, cash was $15.5 million and total debt was $163.0 million. The August 20, 2026 refinancing did not add debt; the interest rate is Term SOFR Rate plus 1.75%, 2.00%, or 2.25% based on consolidated net leverage.

How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA increased $9.6 million to $10.5 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.
fixed-cost absorption financial
"unfavorable fixed-cost absorption from lower production volumes"
Fixed-cost absorption is an accounting approach that assigns a company’s fixed production overhead—like rent and salaried factory staff—into the cost of the goods produced, so that each unit carries a share of those fixed costs. For investors, this matters because it changes reported inventory values and gross margins: when more units are produced, fixed costs per unit fall and reported profits can rise even if cash spending hasn’t changed, affecting comparisons of profitability and earnings trends.
Term SOFR Rate financial
"Term SOFR Rate plus 1.75%, 2.00%, or 2.25% per annum"
Term SOFR rate is a forward-looking interest rate for a set period (for example one or three months) based on the overnight cost of borrowing cash using Treasury securities as collateral. Think of it as a quoted, agreed-upon lending rate for a future interval, like locking in the expected short-term borrowing cost ahead of time. Investors care because it is used to price loans, bonds and derivatives as a transparent replacement for older benchmarks, affecting interest payments and valuation.
noncontrolling interests financial
"Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests"
The portion of a subsidiary’s equity and profits that belongs to outside owners rather than the parent company; when a parent reports consolidated results it includes the whole subsidiary but shows the noncontrolling slice separately. Think of a company’s subsidiary as a pie where the parent owns most slices but some are held by other investors — noncontrolling interests tell you how much of the pie and its future earnings don’t belong to the parent, which affects how much profit and net assets are truly attributable to the parent’s shareholders.
Net sales $76.4 million up 3.3% year over year
Net loss $8.3 million improved 43% from $14.6 million
Adjusted EBITDA $10.5 million increased $9.6 million from $1.0 million
Gross profit margin 43.9% compared with 46.3% in the prior-year quarter

Suja Life Reports Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Net sales increased 3.3% year-over-year to $76.4 million

Updates fiscal year 2026 outlook

OCEANSIDE, CA, November 10, 2026 – Suja Life, Inc. (NASDAQ: SUJA) (“Suja Life,” “Suja” or the “Company”), a leading better-for-you beverage company and maker of Suja Organic, Vive Organic, and Slice Soda, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 28, 2026.

“We continued to gain share of natural healthy beverage in the third quarter while most of the category’s largest players lost share,” said Maria Stipp, Chief Executive Officer. “Even with continued pressure in grocery, we’re winning where shoppers are going, our newer lines are leading the way, and we expect adjusted EBITDA to grow roughly 70% this year, with margin expanding to nearly 20%, while investing deliberately behind our brands. With only about 11% of U.S. households buying our brands today, we see significant room to grow over the long term.”

Third Quarter 2026 Highlights Compared to Prior Year Period

•Net sales increased 3.3% to $76.4 million compared to $74.0 million

•Gross profit margin of 43.9% compared to 46.3%

•Net loss improved 43% to $8.3 million, compared to $14.6 million, with net loss margin of (10.9)% compared to (19.8)%

•Adjusted EBITDA increased $9.6 million to $10.5 million, with Adjusted EBITDA margin of 13.8% compared to 1.3%

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. See definition and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Stipp continued, “Owning our production gives us more control over our costs and supply, which helps us navigate inflationary pressures such as fuel, packaging and other inputs. We’re concentrating our investment on the brands, channels and programs with the potential of delivering the clearest returns, and we believe this positions Suja for more consistent, profitable growth over time.”

Third Quarter 2026 Results

Net sales increased 3.3% to $76.4 million, compared to $74.0 million in the prior year period. The increase in net sales was driven primarily by volume gains across key products and new distribution, partially offset by higher trade investment in response to increased competitive promotional activity. Net sales also benefited from the timing of approximately $2.0 million of shipments that had been expected in the fourth quarter.

–Suja Core net sales increased 3.0% to $74.8 million, compared to $72.6 million in the prior year period, driven by growth in cold-pressed juice, led by Refreshers, and continued growth in wellness shot multipacks, partially offset by softer single-serve shots and higher trade investment. Segment net sales include intersegment sales eliminated in consolidation.
–Emerging Brands net sales increased 3.0% to $2.7 million, as new distribution built more slowly than expected amid slower growth in the better-for-you soda category.

Gross profit decreased 2.2% to $33.5 million, or 43.9% of net sales, compared to $34.3 million, or 46.3% of net sales, in the prior year period. The decline in gross margin was primarily driven by higher promotional



investment in a more competitive environment, unfavorable fixed-cost absorption from lower production volumes, and higher inbound freight and packaging costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $36.5 million, or 47.8% of net sales, compared to $41.4 million or 56.0% of net sales, in the prior year period. The 820 basis points of leverage was primarily driven by lapping one-time launch investment in Emerging Brands in the prior year period, partially offset by higher transportation costs and the costs of operating as a public company.

Net loss was $8.3 million, or (10.9)% of net sales, compared to a net loss of $14.6 million, or (19.8)% of net sales, in the prior year period. Net loss included $6.7 million of one-time items, including a loss on debt extinguishment of $1.8 million and restructuring costs of $1.5 million.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $9.6 million to $10.5 million, or 13.8% of net sales, compared to $1.0 million, or 1.3% of net sales, in the prior year period.

Balance Sheet
As of September 28, 2026, the Company had cash of $15.5 million and total debt of $163.0 million, compared to cash of $31.0 million and total debt of $303.9 million as of December 29, 2025, prior to the completion of the IPO.

Debt Refinancing
On August 20, 2026, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement under which the applicable interest rate is the Term SOFR Rate plus 1.75%, 2.00%, or 2.25% per annum based on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio. The refinancing did not add debt and delivers a notable reduction in the Company’s borrowing spread, lowering its cost of capital.

Fiscal Year 2026 Outlook

The Company is updating its outlook for the full fiscal year 2026 ending December 28, 2026, primarily reflecting current macroeconomic conditions and continued softness in the grocery channel.

The Company now expects:

•Net sales of $351.0 million to $354.0 million, reflecting growth of 7.5% to 8.4% compared to $326.6 million in fiscal 2025, which implies fourth-quarter net sales of $83.7 million to $86.7 million, and

•Adjusted EBITDA of $68.0 million to $70.0 million, reflecting growth of 67.9% to 72.8% compared to $40.5 million in fiscal 2025, which implies fourth-quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $17.8 million to $19.8 million.

The Company continues to expect a base tax rate of 26.1% and interest expense of approximately $18.0 million for the fiscal year ending December 28, 2026, consistent with the expectation provided in connection with the Company’s August 2026 refinancing.

See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for an explanation of Adjusted EBITDA. The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation for forward-looking outlook of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most closely comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable effort, because certain material reconciling items cannot be estimated due to factors outside of the Company's control and could have a material impact on the reported results.

Outlook is based on information available as of today, November 10, 2026, and may be impacted by factors outside the Company’s control. See “Forward-Looking Statements.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use certain non-GAAP key performance indicators to evaluate our business operations, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release and related conference call are supplemental measures of our performance that we believe help investors understand our financial condition and operating results and assess our future prospects. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with greater transparency to the information used by management for its operational decision-making. We further believe that providing this information assists our investors in understanding our operating performance and the methodology used by management to evaluate and measure such performance. Management recognizes that these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations, including that they may be calculated differently by other companies or may be used under different circumstances or for different purposes, thereby affecting their comparability from company to company. In order to compensate for these and the other limitations discussed below, management does not consider these measures in isolation from or as alternatives to the comparable financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Readers should review the reconciliations below and should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. The reasons we use these non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are described further below.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We define EBITDA as net income (loss) as adjusted to exclude tax expense, net interest expense, and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense, IPO-related costs and adjustments, sponsor fees which will not recur subsequent to the IPO, and other non-recurring expenses. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. We believe that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are important metrics for management and investors in evaluating our operating results, as they exclude the impact of items that we do not consider reflective of our core business operations. These measures also facilitate consistent comparison of our operating performance over time and relative to our peers.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2026 and September 29, 2025:
