LaCroix Pineapple Coconut . . . Harmoniously Combined!
For the three months:

- 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;

“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 30th 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 40th Christmas together as National Beverage Corp., we wish heartfelt blessings of peace and joy to all this special holiday season,” concluded the spokesperson.
