**NATIONAL BEVERAGE CORP. SECOND QUARTER RESULTS**

**UNDERSCORE RESILIENCE AND COMMITMENT**

**TO MAXIMIZE SHAREHOLDER PERFORMANCE**

**FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, December 11, 2025 . . . National Beverage Corp. (NASDAQ: FIZZ) today announced results for its second quarter ended November 1, 2025.**

**For the three months:**

● **Net sales were $288 million;** 

● **Operating income increased to $58 million; and** 

● **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;** 

● **Earnings per share were $1.99; and** 

● **Cash increased $156 million to $269 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.**

EBITDA (in millions) for the trailing twelve months ended November 1, 2025 is calculated by adding Depreciation and Amortization of $21.3 and Provision for Income Taxes of $58.3 to Net Income and subtracting Net Interest Income of $8.2.
