These are significantly reducing our overall leverage in connection with the previously announced exchange of substantially all of our 2027 convertible notes; meaningfully extending our debt maturity; and finally, adding substantial liquidity to our balance sheet."

Brown continued "Simultaneously, we are taking equally strong measures to accelerate our path to sustainable operations, including pursuing further and sizable cost reductions, gross margin expansion investments and targeted strategic growth initiatives. Though category headwinds and an accompanying softer top-line continue to weigh on and reverberate throughout our current performance, including our Q3 results, we are closing out the year with a much improved balance sheet, important transformation spadework underway, and genuine optimism and excitement regarding our future."

Third Quarter 2025

Net revenues decreased 13.3% to $70.2 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $81.0 million in the year-ago period. The decrease in net revenues was primarily driven by a 10.3% decrease in volume of products sold, and a 3.5% decrease in net revenue per pound. The decrease in volume of products sold was primarily driven by weak category demand, reduced points of distribution in the U.S. retail channel, and lower sales of burger products to Quick Service Restaurant ("QSR") customers in the international foodservice channel. The decrease in net revenue per pound was primarily driven by higher trade discounts, changes in product sales mix and price decreases of certain of our products, partially offset by favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

U.S. retail channel net revenues decreased 18.4% to $28.5 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $35.0 million in the year-ago period. The decrease in net revenues was primarily driven by a 12.6% decrease in volume of products sold, and a 6.6% decrease in net revenue per pound. The decrease in volume of products sold was primarily driven by weak category demand and reduced points of distribution. The decrease in net revenue per pound was primarily driven by higher trade discounts and price decreases of certain of our products, partially offset by changes in product sales mix.

U.S. foodservice channel net revenues decreased 27.3% to $10.5 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $14.5 million in the year-ago period. The decrease in net revenues was primarily driven by a 27.1% decrease in volume of products sold, and a 0.3% decrease in net revenue per pound. The decrease in volume of products sold was primarily driven by weak category demand and the lapping of sales of chicken products to a U.S. QSR customer in the year-ago period. The decrease in net revenue per pound was primarily driven by higher trade discounts and price decreases of certain of our products, partially offset by changes in product sales mix.

International retail channel net revenues decreased 4.6% to $15.8 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $16.6 million in the year-ago period. The decrease in net revenues was primarily driven by a 12.5% decrease in volume of products sold, partially offset by a 9.1% increase in net revenue per pound. The decrease in volume of products sold was primarily driven by reduced sales of the Company's burger, dinner sausage and chicken products. The increase in net revenue per pound was primarily driven by favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, price increases of certain of our products and changes in product sales mix, partially offset by higher trade discounts.

International foodservice channel net revenues increased 2.3% to $15.3 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $15.0 million in the year-ago period. The increase in net revenues was primarily driven by a 4.4% increase in volume of products sold, partially offset by a 2.0% decrease in net revenue per pound. The increase in volume of products sold was primarily due to higher sales of chicken products to a QSR customer, partially offset by reduced sales of burger products to certain QSR customers. The decrease in net revenue per pound was primarily driven by changes in product sales mix, partially offset by favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, lower trade discounts and, to a lesser extent, price increases of certain of our products.

Gross profit in the third quarter of 2025 was $7.2 million, or gross margin of 10.3%, compared to gross profit of $14.3 million, or gross margin of 17.7%, in the year-ago period. Gross profit and gross margin in the third quarter of 2025 included $1.7 million in expenses related to the suspension and substantial cessation of the Company's operational activities in China. Additionally, gross profit and gross margin in the third quarter of 2025 were negatively impacted by increased cost of goods sold per pound and decreased 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 $119.6 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $45.2 million in the year-ago period. Operating expenses in the third quarter of 2025 included $77.4 million in non-cash impairment charges related to certain of the Company's long-lived assets. The Company performed a quantitative assessment in accordance with ASC 360 and concluded that an impairment of its long-lived assets existed at September 27, 2025. There were no such impairment charges in the year-ago period. Operating expenses in the third quarter of 2025 also included $0.8 million in certain non-routine SG&A expenses, $0.7 million in incremental legal and other fees and expenses associated with arbitration proceedings related to a contractual dispute with a former co-manufacturer and $0.6 million in costs related to the partial lease termination of a portion of the Company's Campus Headquarters. Excluding these items, the decrease in operating expenses compared to the third quarter of 2024 was primarily driven by reduced marketing expenses and reduced non-production salaries and related expenses.

Loss from operations in the third quarter of 2025 was $112.3 million, compared to $30.9 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 third quarter of 2025 (unaudited):

(in thousands)
Charges recorded in cost of goods sold
Expenses related to suspension and substantial cessation of operational activities in China	$	1,721

Total	$	81,225

Total other income, net, was $1.6 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to total other income, net, of $4.4 million in the year-ago period. The decrease in total other income, net, was primarily due to a reduction in net realized and unrealized foreign currency transaction gains and an increase in interest expense related to leases and to the Company's delayed draw term loan facility, partially offset by benefit from the remeasurement of warrant liability and interest income.

Net loss was $110.7 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $26.6 million in the year-ago period. Net loss per common share was $1.44 in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $0.41 in the year-ago period. The increase in net loss in the third quarter of 2025 was primarily driven by the increase in loss from operations and the decrease in total other income, net.

Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $21.6 million, or -30.8% of net revenues, in the third quarter of 2025, compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $19.8 million, or -24.4% of net revenues, in the year-ago period.

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.

"Adjusted net loss" is defined as net loss adjusted to exclude, when applicable, costs attributable to special items, which are those items deemed not to be reflective of the Company's normal business activities.

"Adjusted net loss per diluted common share" is defined as Adjusted net loss divided by the number of diluted common shares outstanding.

We consider Adjusted loss from operations, Adjusted operating margin, Adjusted net loss and Adjusted net loss per diluted common share to be useful indicators of operating performance because excluding special items allows for period-over-period comparisons of our ongoing operations. Adjusted net loss per diluted common share is a performance measure and should not be used as a measure of liquidity.

"Adjusted EBITDA" is defined as net loss adjusted to exclude, when applicable, income tax expense (benefit), interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation expense, non-cash charges related to the suspension and substantial 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, accrued litigation settlement costs, remeasurement of warrant liability, 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 share-based compensation expense and therefore does not include all of our compensation costs;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect certain cash costs related to a partial lease termination of a portion of the Company's 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 accrued litigation settlement costs which reduce cash available to us;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect non-cash impact of remeasurement of warrant liability;
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.

The following tables present the reconciliation of Adjusted loss from operations, Adjusted operating margin, Adjusted net loss and Adjusted net loss per diluted common share to their most comparable GAAP measures, loss from operations, operating margin, net loss and net loss per share available to common stockholders—basic and diluted, respectively, each as reported (unaudited):
