Second Quarter Ended October 29, 2022 vs. Second Quarter Ended October 30, 2021:
“While many companies write about the current business environment and its conditions, that’s not what this earnings release is about. Wall Street, news stations, podcasts and other media outlets repetitively keep everyone informed,” stated a company spokesperson.
“This earnings release is about our differences and what makes National Beverage deserving of your attention and possibly your choice for our refreshing beverages.
Significant Realities:
Our business has continued to outperform in the most adverse conditions, throughout the most competitive atmosphere including a pandemic with its related consequences. The top ten flavors of our LaCroix brand, part of our Power+ brands, have exhibited strong growth, exceeding that of the category.”
“Our innovative designs and taste creations give us the ability to develop top-selling, one-of-a-kind flavors. As an example, during the height of the recent pandemic, our LaCroix brand developed and created a unique flavor that rapidly became our leading growth flavor in America.
This earnings release does not address that steep, curvy road that produces conditions which cause many other businesses to rethink their workforce. While the world of uncertainty still exists, National Beverage has withstood the worst of times. Retailers, consumers and investors recognize that our leading innovations produce new and exciting results. We not only excite retailers with our new taste and packaging, our consumers eagerly anticipate the next unique flavor innovations by LaCroix. Long-term consumers and loyal investors of FIZZ acknowledge that unique innovation, taste and packaging translate into praiseworthy company performance and value.”
“In addition to continued flavor and packaging innovations for LaCroix, we have rolled out unique new Rip It energy drink flavors and graphics in the quarter. Consumers love ‘Re-Energizzed’ YOLO, our pineapple flavor that's savory, sweet, and charged with tropical zest; our new louder-than-life flavor, Melon Hi; and our sweetest and wildest new flavor, Can'D Man.”
“Learning how and why our differences transcend the present economic conditions is what we are addressing with this press release today.
At National Beverage we have a saying . . . ‘While we may not be able to predict the future . . . certainly we have the ability to invent a new one!’
As 2022 comes to a close, we would like to express our profound gratitude for our loyal consumers, dedicated retail partners, shareholders and all of Team National. We wish Peace and Joy to all at this Wonderful Time of Year!” the spokesperson concluded.
