Revenue Decline: Net revenue fell 13.3% year-over-year to $70.2 million, reflecting ongoing weakness in the plant-based meat market.
Gross Margin Pressure: Gross margin dropped to 10.3% from 17.7% last year due to lower volumes, less favorable product mix, and higher trade promotions.
Heavy Net Loss: Net loss ballooned to $110.7 million, or $1.44 per share, mainly due to a substantial non-cash impairment charge.
Balance Sheet Reset: Beyond Meat cut debt by nearly $900 million and raised about $150 million in cash, significantly strengthening its financial position.
Lower Guidance: Q4 net revenue guidance was set at $60–65 million, citing continued soft demand and distribution losses.
Turnaround Efforts: Management is focused on cost-cutting, margin improvement, innovation, and countering misinformation to drive a return to growth.
