FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., March 06, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--National Beverage Corp. (NASDAQ: FIZZ) today announced results for its third quarter ended January 25, 2025.

For the Three Months:

• Net sales were $267 million.
• Operating profit increased 5% to $51 million.
• Earnings per share were $.42.
• Cash was $149 million.

For the Trailing Twelve Months ended January 25, 2025:

• Net sales increased to $1.2 billion.
• Operating profit increased 8% to $231 million.
• Net income was $186 million, an increase of 10%.
• Earnings per share increased $.18 to $1.99.

"Historically, our performance in the third quarter has been challenging given the unknown predictability of winter weather patterns. This year we also witnessed disastrous Southern California fires and their aftermath that also adversely impacted volumes in our largest and better-performing markets. In addition to those fires, the severe winter weather in the Midwest and Northeast affected consumers’ ability to purchase and consume our products," stated a spokesperson.

"Our marketing strategy and execution continues to reinforce brand awareness in many ways. Our delightful and theme-oriented in-store displays, consumer ‘experiential’ engagements with selected retail partners coast-to-coast, and social media posts provide wonderful testimony to the ‘Wonderfulness of La Croix!’ We are proud to be in our first full year of sponsoring both local and national women’s soccer teams, youth sports and other sports-related franchises. Additionally, the media’s increasing focus on improving the health of America supports our quest to hydrate and invigorate consumers with delicious and innocent refreshment."

"Recently LaCroix announced that a new creativity was ‘in the works’ that could improve the sparkling water category, similar to what aluminum cans replacing glass containers did years ago for sparkling water beverages (and we did it). As this paragraph is being written, that novel method is being tested at Natural Products Expo West in Anaheim, California. Innovation is often accomplished in steps of trial and error. Thus far, this new concept is exceeding expectations. Thumbs up for a game changer," the spokesperson smiled.
