National Beverage Corp. Reports Record Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year-end Results...Corporate Endorphins at Work

National Beverage Corp. (NASDAQ: FIZZ) today announced results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended April 27, 2024. Our recent disclosures and this earnings report confirm that a new and more stimulating period has begun. Compared to the prior year –

Fourth Quarter

  • Net sales increased $11 million to $297 million;
  • Gross margins grew 100 bps to 36.7% of sales; and
  • Net income increased 20% to $44 million, or $.47 per share.

Fiscal Year

  • Net sales increased $19 million to $1.2 billion;
  • Operating profits grew 240 bps to $218 million;
  • Net income increased 24% to $177 million, or $1.89 per share; and
  • Cash increased $169 million to $327 million.

“We are pleased to wrap up our fiscal year with a ‘best ever’ fourth quarter and to continue the momentum generated by the last six quarters of record revenues and year-over-year income growth,” stated a company spokesperson. “Led by LaCroix and Rip It, overall case volume grew 5% while net sales, operating profit and net income all set fourth-quarter records.”

“Innovative flavors and packaging remain the keys to our brand growth, with consumers and retailers alike enthusiastically embracing Mojito, our latest LaCroix offering, the new and unique Rip It energy fuel flavors and the recently introduced Shasta Zero Sugar favorites.”

“A positive indicator for our new year has always been the backlog of innovative ideas that the end of winter has stored up, setting the mood for the year ahead. Earnings are extremely important to our investors and to our goals, but equally as important as earnings are feelings that are generated within management’s view. Feelings ignite ideas and ideas are at our deepest core within the soul of National Beverage Corp.”

“National Beverage has yet to achieve its ultimate purpose. Our latest creations in packaging with brightness of color, stimulating images and unique tastes of flavors have reached a profound level of creativity.”

The spokesperson concluded, “As endorphins stimulate the human body, philosophy and strategy are endorphins for a corporate entity. These endorphins are reflected in what is written on the checks of the recently announced dividend. This statement sums up what has always occurred at National Beverage.

and make good on IT!”

“Patriotism” – If Only We Could Bottle It!
