We intend to build on these improvements through the continued pursuit of top-line stabilization and margin expansion.

Fourth Quarter 2025

Net revenues decreased 19.7% to $61.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $76.7 million in the year-ago period. The decrease in net revenues was primarily driven by a 22.4% decrease in volume of products sold, partially offset by a 3.5% increase in net revenue per pound. The decrease in volume of products sold was primarily driven by weak category demand and lower sales of chicken and burger products to Quick Service Restaurant (“QSR”) customers in the U.S. and international foodservice channels. The increase in net revenue per pound was primarily driven by changes in product sales mix, favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates and price increases of certain of our products, partially offset by higher trade discounts.

U.S. retail channel net revenues decreased 6.5% to $31.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $33.9 million in the year-ago period. The decrease in net revenues was primarily driven by a 6.5% decrease in volume of products sold; net revenue per pound was approximately flat.

U.S. foodservice channel net revenues decreased 23.7% to $8.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $10.5 million in the year-ago period. The decrease in net revenues was primarily driven by a 25.1% decrease in volume of products sold, partially offset by a 1.9% increase in net revenue per pound. The decrease in volume of products sold was primarily driven by the lapping of sales of chicken products to a QSR customer in the year-ago period and weak category demand. The increase in net revenue per pound was primarily driven by changes in product sales mix, partially offset by higher trade discounts.

International retail channel net revenues decreased 32.5% to $8.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $13.1 million in the year-ago period. The decrease in net revenues was primarily driven by a 33.5% decrease in volume of products sold, partially offset by a 1.5% increase in net revenue per pound. The decrease in volume of products sold was primarily driven by reduced sales of burger products in the EU and certain retail channels in Canada.

Gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $1.4 million, or gross margin of 2.3%, compared to gross profit of $10.0 million, or gross margin of 13.1%, in the year-ago period. Gross profit and gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2025 included $2.4 million in non-cash charges arising from incremental provision for excess and obsolete inventory as a result of SKU rationalization and the decision to discontinue certain product lines and $1.5 million in expenses related to the cessation of the Company’s operational activities in China. Additionally, gross profit and gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2025 were negatively impacted by increased cost of goods sold per pound, partially offset by increased net revenue per pound. The increase in cost of goods sold per pound primarily reflected higher materials costs and higher inventory provision, partially offset by lower manufacturing expenses, including depreciation, and lower logistics costs.

Operating expenses were $134.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $47.8 million in the year-ago period. Operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2025 included $48.1 million in non-cash charges related to the loss from write-down of assets held for sale relating to certain property, plant and equipment that was no longer deemed core to our strategic objectives or required for our future operations. There were no such charges in the year-ago period. Operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2025 also included a $38.9 million non-cash litigation-related accrual, $13.3 million in incremental share-based compensation expense related to the Company’s convertible debt exchange, $0.8 million in certain non-routine SG&A expenses, $0.4 million in costs related to the partial lease termination of a portion of the Company’s Campus Headquarters, and $0.3 million in incremental legal and other fees and expenses associated with arbitration proceedings related to a contractual dispute with a former co-manufacturer. Excluding these items, the decrease in operating expenses compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 was primarily driven by decreased marketing expenses.

Loss from operations in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $132.7 million, compared to $37.8 million in the year-ago period. The increase in loss from operations was driven by the increase in operating expenses and the reduction in gross profit.

The following table summarizes certain charges recorded in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the fourth quarter of 2025 (unaudited):

Total other income, net, was $542.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to total other expense, net, of $7.0 million in the year-ago period. The increase in total other income, net, was primarily due to a $548.7 million gain on debt restructuring, a $10.3 million gain from the remeasurement of warrant liability and $0.8 million in net realized and unrealized foreign currency transaction gains due to favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by a loss from remeasurement of derivative liability and an increase in interest expense related to leases and the Company’s delayed draw term loan facility.

Net income was $409.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to net loss of $44.9 million in the year-ago period.

Correction of Previously Issued Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

During its fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial close procedures, the Company determined that, in addition to a previously identified material weakness related to the accounting for non-routine and complex transactions, an additional material weakness in internal control over financial reporting existed as of December 31, 2025, related to controls associated with the accounting for its inventory provision, including amounts recorded for the provision of excess and obsolete inventory. In assessing the impact of the identified material weaknesses on the Company’s financial statements, the Company identified certain errors related to its previously issued interim financial statements for 2025, which primarily caused cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses to be understated in each of the first three quarters of 2025, and loss from impairment to be overstated in the third quarter of 2025.

The Company has determined that the errors identified were immaterial to the previously issued interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the first three quarters of 2025 and that the errors will be corrected prospectively when the Company files its quarterly reports in fiscal 2026. For a full discussion of these matters, investors can refer to Item 9A—Controls and Procedures, and Item 9B—Other Information, in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, to be filed with the SEC.

A summary of the revisions to the impacted financial statement line items in the Company’s previously issued interim condensed consolidated financial Statements for 2025 is shown on the attached schedule at the end of this release.

Annual Report on Form 10-K

The Company is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 within the prescribed deadline as it requires additional time to complete its fourth quarter and year-end financial close procedures. The Company is working diligently to address these matters; however, at this time, it is unable to estimate when the Form 10-K will be filed. As a result, the Company will be considered an untimely filer and will no longer be eligible to use Form S-3 registration statements until it regains timely filer status by filing in a timely manner all reports required to be filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for a period of twelve calendar months.

2026 Outlook

The Company continues to experience an elevated level of uncertainty within its operating environment, which has, and management believes will continue to have, unforeseen impacts on the Company’s actual realized results. In light of this uncertainty, the Company is limiting its outlook to the following:

• In the first quarter of 2026, net revenues are expected to be approximately $57 million to $59 million.

Conference Call and Webcast

The Company will host a conference call to discuss these results at 5:00 p.m. Eastern, 2:00 p.m. Pacific today. Investors interested in participating in the live call can dial 412-902-4255. There will also be a simultaneous, live webcast available on the Investors section of the Company’s website at www.beyondmeat.com. The webcast will also be archived.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this release constitute “forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including statements related to the Company’s expectations with respect to its first quarter 2026 outlook.

Forward-looking statements are based on management's current opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions and projections regarding financial performance, prospects, future events and future results, including ongoing uncertainty related to macroeconomic issues, including high inflation and interest rates, prolonged, weakening demand in the plant-based meat category, ongoing concerns about the likelihood of a recession and increased competition, and the Company’s ability to regain timely filer status, among other matters, and involve known and unknown risks that are difficult to predict. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “may,” “could,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “outlook,” “potential,” “continue,” “likely,” “will,” “would” and variations of these terms and similar expressions, or the negative of these terms or similar expressions.

Actual results, levels of activity, performance, achievements and events could differ materially from those stated, anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements. While Beyond Meat believes that its assumptions are reasonable, it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors and, of course, it is impossible to anticipate all factors that could affect actual results. There are many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements made herein including, but not limited to: a further decrease in demand, and the underlying factors negatively impacting demand, in the plant-based meat category, including the exacerbation of weakness in the category by the macroeconomic trends discussed in this release;

ongoing and persistent declines in demand in the plant-based meat category and for our products, or strategic decisions that result in changes to our product portfolio, including the potential discontinuation of certain product lines through initiatives stemming from our transformation office and program or other strategic measures, which may require us to write-down or write-off excess or obsolete inventories; impairment charges, including due to any future changes in estimates, judgments or assumptions, failure to achieve forecasted operating results due to weakness in the economic environment, demand for our products or other factors, changes in market conditions and declines in our publicly quoted stock price and market capitalization, failure to sublease, assign or otherwise transfer any excess space or negotiate additional partial lease terminations and/or subleases or other dispositions of our Campus Headquarters or other facilities on terms advantageous to us or at all, and the cessation of our operational activities in China in 2025; our ability to accurately predict consumer taste preferences, trends and demand and successfully innovate, introduce and commercialize new products and improve existing products, including in new geographic markets;

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Beyond Meat uses the non-GAAP financial measures set forth below in assessing its operating performance and in its financial communications. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful additional information to investors about current trends in our operations and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of operations. In addition, management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to assess operating performance and for business planning purposes. Management also believes these measures are widely used by investors, securities analysts, rating agencies and other parties in evaluating companies in our industry as a measure of our operational performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for the comparable GAAP measures. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies.

“Adjusted loss from operations” is defined as loss from operations adjusted to exclude, when applicable, costs attributable to special items, which are those items deemed not to be reflective of the Company’s ongoing normal business activities.

“Adjusted operating margin” is defined as Adjusted loss from operations divided by net revenues.

We consider Adjusted loss from operations and Adjusted operating margin to be useful indicators of operating performance because excluding special items allows for period-over-period comparisons of our ongoing operations.

“Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude, when applicable, income tax (benefit) expense, interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, restructuring expenses, share-based compensation expense, non-cash charges related to the cessation of our operational activities in China, costs related to a partial lease termination of a portion of the Campus Headquarters, non-cash loss from impairment of long-lived assets, litigation-related accruals, accrued litigation settlement costs, remeasurement of warrant liability, remeasurement of derivative liability, gain on debt restructuring, and Other, net, including interest income and foreign currency transaction gains and losses.

“Adjusted EBITDA as a % of net revenues” is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenues.
There are a number of limitations related to the use of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a % of net revenues rather than their most directly comparable GAAP measures. Some of these limitations are:

• Adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization expense and, although these are non-cash expenses, the assets being depreciated may have to be replaced in the future increasing our cash requirements;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense, or the cash required to service our debt, which reduces cash available to us;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income tax payments that reduce cash available to us;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect restructuring expenses that reduce cash available to us;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect share-based compensation expense and therefore does not include all of our compensation costs;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect non-cash charges related to the cessation of our operational activities in China;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect certain cash costs related to a partial lease termination of a portion of the Campus Headquarters, which reduces cash available to us;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect non-cash loss from impairment of long-lived assets and therefore does not include all of our operating expenses;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect litigation-related accruals, which may, depending on the outcome of the underlying litigation, reduce cash available to us;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect accrued litigation settlement costs which reduce cash available to us;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect non-cash impact of the remeasurement of warrant liability;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the non-cash impact of the remeasurement of derivative liability;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not include gain on debt restructuring, the income from which may in certain circumstances be taxable to us and reduce the cash available to us;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect Other, net, including interest income and foreign currency transaction gains and losses, that may increase or decrease cash available to us; and
• other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Schedule

Correction of Previously Issued Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

During the fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial close procedures, the Company identified errors in its previously issued interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the first three quarters of 2025 relating to (i) inventory valuation, (ii) debt issuance costs, and (iii) the previously disclosed impairment of long-lived assets, as described in further detail below. The Company has determined that the errors identified below were immaterial to the previously issued interim period condensed consolidated financial statements for the first three quarters of 2025 and that the errors will be corrected prospectively when the Company files its quarterly reports in fiscal 2026, and accordingly the "as corrected" amounts are presented in the tables below.

Inventory Valuation

Due to errors in the Company’s excess and obsolete inventory analysis, inventory was overstated and cost of goods sold were understated in each of the first three quarters of 2025.

Debt Issuance Costs

In connection with the Company’s 2025 balance sheet debt restructuring activities, namely, entry into the Delayed Draw Term Loan with Ahimsa (“DDTL”) and the debt exchange offer and restructuring which was completed in October 2025 (“Exchange Offer”), the Company incurred significant transaction expenses (collectively, the “debt issuance costs”) related to professional services provided by various third-party advisors, consultants and professionals. In aggregate, for the first three quarters of 2025, these expenses amounted to approximately $17.6 million, of which the Company allocated approximately $14.1 million and $3.5 million to the Exchange Offer and the DDTL, respectively. Following the closing of the Exchange Offer in October 2025, the Company, in consultation with its external technical accounting advisors, determined that the Exchange Offer qualified as a “troubled debt restructuring” (“TDR”) in accordance with ASC 470-60, “Debt—Troubled Debt Restructurings by Debtors. TDR accounting guidelines specify that debt issuance costs must be expensed and included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the periods in which they are incurred, rather than being capitalized as prepaid expenses and other current assets. The Company further determined in the fourth quarter of 2025 that TDR related accounting standards should have been applied in each interim period of 2025 as creditor concessions were expected prior to the completion of the Exchange Offer, notwithstanding the fact that the Exchange Offer was not completed until the fourth quarter of 2025. Through each of the first three quarters of 2025, the Company initially and incorrectly recorded the Exchange Offer debt issuance costs as prepaid expenses and other current assets on its balance sheet instead of expensing them as incurred as part of selling, general, and administrative expenses. The Company also incorrectly recorded the DDTL related costs as prepaid expenses and other current assets in the second and third quarters of 2025 instead of a debt discount. In addition, the Company understated remeasurement of warrant liabilities and delayed draw term loan warrants by $0.5 million in the third quarter of 2025 due to an error in remeasurement of the fair value of warrants.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets (“Impairment”)

The Company recorded a loss from impairment of long-lived assets of $77.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2025 which was determined by comparing the fair value of the entity-wide asset group to the carrying value of the entity-wide asset group as of September 27, 2025.

Due to the errors identified above related to inventory, prepaid expenses and other current assets, the carrying value of the entity-wide asset group as of September 27, 2025 that was utilized in the impairment measurement calculation was overstated by $26.1 million. Consequently, this resulted in an overstatement of the loss from impairment of long-lived assets of $26.1 million, and understatement of property, plant, and equipment, net and prepaid lease costs, non-current of $22.9 million and $3.2 million, respectively. This reduction in the impairment loss was reflected in the offsetting increases in cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses due to the write-downs of inventory and prepaid expenses and other current assets, respectively, as discussed above.
