REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, September 11, 2025 . . . National Beverage Corp. (NASDAQ: FIZZ) today announced results for its first quarter ended August 2, 2025.

“Our solid operating performance amid the challenging global environment, marked by uncertainty in consumer spending and geopolitical events, reflects the strength of our brands and the success of Team National’s management strategy. We continue to generate exceptional operating cash flows while maintaining one of the strongest balance sheets among our beverage peers,” as stated by a company spokesperson. “Net sales increased as a result of price/mix improvements, partially offset by a slight decline in case volume. Interest income decreased $2.1 million compared to the prior first quarter due to lower invested cash balances following the July 2024 dividend payment of $304 million.” ****

“We are pleased that LaCroix, our most significant brand, posted organic sales growth in the club channel with a vibrant Deliciously Magical variety pack featuring Strawberry Peach and fan favorites Blackberry Cucumber and Cherry Lime. Building on our track record of success, the four recently released LaCroix flavors have posted impressive initial sales, and we anticipate greater increases in the near term.”
