National Beverage Corp. Reports Increased Winter Quarter Net Income While Improving MarginsMarch 12, 2026 4:25 PM
Business Wire
National Beverage Corp. (NASDAQ: FIZZ) today announced results for its third quarter ended January 31, 2026, while honoring its patriotic commitment not to pass along the full impact of tariffs to consumers:
Net sales were $265 million;
Gross profit of $100 million reflects a 60 basis point year-over-year margin improvement;
Earnings per share increased 5% to $.44 and;
Operating cash flow was $136 million and quarter-end cash grew to $314 million.
“The third quarter delivered on our expectations for this marketplace and our objective of balancing volume with product pricing and margins. While volume was soft early in the quarter, January shipments were up 7% despite the effects of winter storm Fern, which disrupted shipping across the country. Initial shipments for our fourth quarter also reflect continued volume improvements over the prior year. We will continue to monitor tariff-related cost increases and, if necessary, make price adjustments designed to balance the effects on consumers with the amount absorbed by the Company,” stated a company spokesperson.
“Innovation remains our strategic compass as our recently released beverages expand distribution and build velocity. Our newest innovation, the ‘harmoniously combined’ PineApple CocoNut was featured to an overwhelming favorable response at Natural Products Expo West – the largest annual gathering of natural and organic products. Strawberry Peach has quickly risen to among the fastest selling LaCroix flavors, and Sunshine and PineApple CocoNut are now making their way to our retail partners along with new Shasta and Faygo ZERO Sugar products.”
“A recent Food Business News report identified the top consumer trends for 2026. One trend was termed ‘layers of delight’, highlighting the desire of consumers to indulge in multisensory experiences that ‘elevate moments and combine sensory richness with well-being.’ Another trend from the report is ‘beverage with a purpose’ as consumers favor products for hydration and convenience with ‘better-for-you’ formulas with no or low sugar and natural ingredients. Clearly, our largest brand, LaCroix, has these attributes and, as one of the Most Trusted Brands in America, is poised to continue its category leadership.”
“Over our history as a public company, our track record of long-term growth and strong cash flows has delivered a superior return on equity and industry-leading return on assets. We believe our entrepreneurial operator model, balance sheet strength and focus on healthy innovative products position us to deliver a ‘healthy’ future for our consumers and shareholders,” concluded the spokesperson.

National Beverage Corp. Declares Dividend with Thanks and Gratitude This Joyful Holiday
Business Wire Business Wire•November 20, 2018
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
National Beverage Corp. (FIZZ) continues industry-leading growth and earnings momentum, announcing in its last quarterly release its fifteenth consecutive quarter of revenue and earnings growth. The Board of Directors today announced a special cash dividend of $2.90 per share to shareholders of record on November 30, 2018. FIZZ will trade ex-dividend on November 29, 2018 and the payment date for this distribution shall be on or before January 29, 2019.
“This cash dividend reflects the Board’s confidence in the sparkling future of National Beverage and is a vote of confidence for the outstanding job that Team National has done,” stated Lead Board Member, Samuel Hathorn, Jr. “I have known our founder and Chairman, Mr. Nick A. Caporella, for many years and the masterful transformative job he has done with the National Beverage Corp. assets to transform healthy hydration in America is not being given appropriate recognition. Nick has always put the interests of all shareholders ahead of any personal considerations. While the management of many other companies use corporate funds to repurchase shares to enrich their personal holdings, Nick has always encouraged the Board to favor cash dividends over stock repurchases. If National Beverage had used the cash paid in dividends to purchase stock, the Company would today be 100% owned by Nick and the last seven plus years of shareholder appreciation would have gone to Nick. His acts of compassion set him apart from most humans I am aware of,” concluded Mr. Hathorn.
“This payment represents the ninth cash dividend paid over the last fourteen years while significantly growing our business to over $1 billion in revenues and maintaining an enviable balance sheet. Cumulatively, FIZZ holders will have received cash dividends of $14.56 per share, or $675 million,” stated Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Nick A. Caporella.

Wow, HIPH partnering with FIZZ?? Could be huge! This is from a Market Watch article today...
American Premium Water CorporationHIPH, +51.52% the marketer and distributor of the first hydro-nano CBD infused beverage on the market, is another company in the CBD space that has been linked to a larger, established beverage company. It was reported that American Premium Water's CEO had met with National Beverage CorporationFIZZ, -1.28% the manufacturer and distributer of various beverage brands, including the premium carbonated brand LaCroix, to discuss a potential partnership or minority investment. This would make a lot of sense for National Beverage, whom has also been besieged by its own scandal involving arsenic with its signature brand LaCroix. American Premium Water announced that it acquired proprietary CBD hydro-nano formulations which National Beverage could utilize for its line of beverages, including LaCroix. An entry into the burgeoning CBD space would re-invigorate the company, and they would be able to scale very quickly their wide distribution network a CBD infused beverage where there is a lot of thirst for product.

Hi V77, Re: Projected price of FIZZ..............
Value Line gives FIZZ a 3-5 year price horizon of $100 to $150. Trailing P/E is about 29, essentially zero debt, no dividend, BETA of 0.80, Stock Price Stability of 30 (out of 100) and Price Growth Persistence of 75 (out of 100).
It's tightly controlled with over 70% of the shares owned by officers and directors. So, we're betting with them when owning shares. No stock option activity at all in recent times.
Up from its $83 low point it has a lot of room between here and its 52 week High. I picked up an additional 12% more shares at $90.63 back in March after selling a smaller amount at $120 in September of 2017. These were adjustments around the core position.

HOW U.S. CONVENIENCE STORES CAN STAY AHEAD OF THE RETAIL PACK
http://www.nielsen.com/us/en/insights/news/2017/how-us-convenience-stores-can-stay-ahead-of-the-retail-pack.html
In 2016, convenience stores captured 85% of all sales through sales from just six categories: Cigarettes, packaged beverages, candy, beer, salty snacks and other tobacco. Digging deeper, Nielsen data shows that subcategories like enhanced water, import, super premium and craft beer, ready-to-eat (RTE) meals, e-cigarettes, tools and housewares and sparkling wine all delivered mid-to-high double-digit sales growth for convenience stores last year.
The growth in subcategories like RTE meals and enhanced water align with broader consumer health and wellness trends. RTE options are also amplified by deli sales, which grew 8.3% to $1.2 billion last year, while fresh produce sales slipped about half a percent to $425 million. Overall, recent sales trends magnify the degree to which consumers seek fast, economical and increasingly healthy options from their convenience stores. That said, convenience stores are also more likely to attract people for meal-time trips rather than “fill-in” and “routine shopping” ventures. And that means being well stocked is now a consumer expectation rather than a desire.
