This press release contains "forward-looking statements" as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding, among other things, unaudited estimated net sales. These statements use words, and variations of words, such as "anticipate," "plan," "project," "estimate," "potential," "forecast," "will," "continue," "future," "increase," "believe," "outlook," "expect," and "predict." You are cautioned not to rely on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this press release, are based on current expectations of future events and thus are inherently subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which involve factors or circumstances beyond Lifeway's control. If underlying assumptions prove inaccurate or known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results could vary materially from Lifeway's expectations and projections. These risks, uncertainties, and other factors include: price competition; the decisions of customers or consumers; the actions of competitors; changes in the pricing of commodities; the effects of government regulation; possible delays in the introduction of new products; and customer acceptance of products and services. A further list and description of these risks, uncertainties, and other factors can be found in Lifeway's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. Copies of these filings are available online at https://www.sec.gov, http://lifewaykefir.com/investor-relations/, or on request from Lifeway. Lifeway expressly disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements (including, without limitation, to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or new information), except as required by law.Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release refers to Adjusted EBITDA, which is a financial measure that has not been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), and may exclude items that are significant to understanding and assessing financial results. This non-GAAP measure is provided to enhance investors' overall understanding of the Company's financial performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as supplements to GAAP measures reported, should not be considered replacements for, or superior to, GAAP measures reported and may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies. The Company's calculation of non-GAAP financial measures may differ from methods used by other companies.We are unable to reconcile our target fiscal year 2027 Adjusted EBITDA to projected net income, the most directly comparable projected GAAP financial measure, because certain information necessary to calculate such measures on a GAAP basis is unavailable or dependent on the timing of future events outside of our control. Due to this uncertainty, the Company cannot reconcile target fiscal year 2027 Adjusted EBITDA to the nearest GAAP financial measure without unreasonable effort.Derek Miller

The Lifeway spot, designed to highlight the brand's market-leading, protein-forward and probiotic-packed drinkable kefir, will debut across Lifeway's Instagram, TikTok, and other digital platforms on Friday, February 6, bringing fresh energy and a new voice to one of the year's biggest cultural occasions.In addition to the digital premiere, Lifeway Foods supports GENYOUth's End Student Hunger initiative through participation in the Taste of the NFL on Saturday, February 7th, an annual culinary experience benefiting national nonprofit GENYOUth. The event brings together world-class chefs, football greats, and purpose-driven partners to raise awareness and funds for programs aimed at combating student hunger and strengthening nutrition nationwide."Game day is about coming together, celebrating and enjoying the foods and traditions that make the moment special," said Julie Smolyansky, President and CEO of Lifeway Foods.

In The Kefir Cookbook, I explored the ways kefir and farmer cheese can bring flavor, creativity and nourishment to the table for special moments. Drawing inspiration from that theme, I created this recipe with seafood ingredients to honor the teams taking the field this weekend, along with sourdough as a tribute to the host city and honey as a nod to Lifeway's hometown team. It's a meaningful way to celebrate the moment while supporting an event that aligns with our commitment to community impact and helping expand access to proper nutrition for students across the country."Lifeway's social premiere and support of GENYOUth's mission to end student hunger reflect the brand's continued investment in culturally relevant storytelling, creator engagement and community-focused experiences that connect with health-conscious consumers.About Lifeway Foods, Inc.
