Company Guidance

Management updated FY2026 guidance to net sales of $2.335–$2.375 billion (growth 1%–3%) and adjusted EBITDA of $275–$295 million (≈12% margin), while calling out $28 million of inventory‑related headwinds (≈$21 million already recorded in Q2–Q3) and an 80‑bp tariff drag; freight increases are expected to pressure H2 margins by ~140 bps and Q4 adjusted EBITDA margin is guided to ≈10%. Q4 net sales are expected flat at the midpoint with Premier up low single digits (powders ≈100‑bp headwind), RTD shake volumes up double digits but unfavorable price/mix from promotion, Premier shake consumption up mid‑single digits and Dymatize/all‑other down mid‑single digits. Q3 results: net sales +4%; Premier RTD sales +1% (volume +3%, price/mix −2%, dollar consumption +6%); Dymatize sales +27% (vol +6%, price/mix +21%); adjusted gross profit $158M (adj. gross margin 27.7% vs. 35.1% LY); SG&A $94M (16.4% of sales, includes $7M ad increase and $5M restructuring); operating cash flow Q3 $79M; net leverage 3.2x (expected ≈4x year‑end). Management will implement double‑digit shake price increases and powder pricing in Q1 FY27 (elasticity >1), target $10–12M of annualized cost savings, and continue ~4% of sales in advertising.
