And now I'd like to turn the call over to Amy Taylor.

Thank you, Jean. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining our fourth quarter and full year 2025 earnings conference call. We are proud of the transformation progress we delivered in 2025.

Through a series of high impact initiatives spanning product innovation, marketing, distribution, and supply chain, we not only significantly improved our financial performance, but also strengthened Zia's competitive positioning within the better for you soda category.

So before I speak to strategy, I'll briefly highlight our performance. For 2025, we delivered net sales growth of 4% and improved adjusted EBITA threefold to negative $4.7 million. For the fourth quarter, net sales decreased 4% to $37.9 million as we lapped the pipeline fill to Walmart from last November and December. Net sales for the quarter were impacted by a shift of our Costco rotation into January.

Importantly, this program was a national one with premium in-store positioning reaching beyond our regional footprint and driving trial and awareness in underdeveloped and fast growing markets. Adjusted EBITA for the fourth quarter reached break even and was ahead of our expectations.

So turning to the three strategic pillars that enabled this progress, I'll start with amplified marketing. Our improved performance for the year was supported by powerful marketing that clearly differentiated Vivia as the antidote to the artificial and as a product with no fake ingredients and no fake claims.

Key campaigns showcase Zevia's use of creative, culturally relevant content and high profile brand fans to boost brand awareness, reinforce our positioning, and appeal to consumers that are just trying to do a little bit better with healthier choices.

For our second growth pillar, product innovation, 2025 was a breakthrough year. We introduced on-trend fruity flavors such as strawberry lemon burst and retailer exclusive orange creamsicle, both of which strongly resonated with consumers. We also began to elevate taste for select classic flavors, the impact of which will carry into 2026 in parallel with our package design evolution.

Our marketing and product initiatives help to propel distribution, our third growth pillar, the historical peak levels in 2025, including a nationwide presence in Walmart. As we are an anchor brand within that retailer's modern soda set and at Albertson's where we increased our shelf space and gained eye-level placement with a vertical brand block within their next gen beverage set.

Through these initiatives we've strengthened our foundation for growth with brand, product innovation, and distribution working together to capitalize on favorable category and consumer trends that create strong tailwinds. Now in 2026 we are building on this momentum with a focus on expanding reach and driving trial to expand the user base and ultimately to accelerate growth. So first, let's walk through our marketing initiatives.

Sea is resonating with the consumer more than ever as we continue to show up as the antidote to the artificial. We kicked off this year with a playful campaign inviting consumers to join a detox, so a detox from artificial soda with one simple swap. Choose a zero artificial, better for you soda instead.

This month-long campaign featured influencer partnerships, and immersive activation at world-renowned DJ Diplo's Run Club, sampling at Lifetime Fitness's Miami Marathon, and a bold out of home takeover across Atlanta. Early reads of editorial and social outcomes revealed that the campaign punched above its weight.

The next brand campaign in March will continue to reinforce Zevia's unique position and personality in a digital campaign also activated at retail. And during our next call, I'm excited to update you on summer brand campaigns bolstered by new and familiar highreach brand ambassadors, our most significant investment in reach and cultural relevance to date.

More to come on this, as this and other initiatives will run in parallel with our spring and summer rollout of our dynamic new package design. And will be supported by retail-driven trial driving programs focused on expanding the user base. So next, let's talk about the portfolio and 2026 product innovation.

While trust and affordability remain core differentiators for Zetia, we are winning where it matters most in the category which is taste, unlocking a broader consumer base and strengthening long-term brand relevance. We know that new products are outperforming legacy items in velocity, creating a halo effect that boosts legacy items as well.

With that distinction combined with brand and accessible price points, we are in a strong position to expand our consumer base and continue to drive strong repeat rates. Orange creamsicle was a huge hit as the number 16 pack of sprouts immediately following its initial launch and is now being rolled out as the hero flavor of 2026.

Fruit punch and peaches and cream, which also saw successes in variety packs and as a limited time offer respectively, are now rolling out nationally. And finally, after proving to be a hit in the top ZB askew at Walmart, the new fruity variety pack can be found across retail starting in spring resets. We are bullish on this robust innovation pipeline overall and specifically as a complement to the legacy soda portfolio.

Enabling Zevia to super serve old school soda fans, and engage new modern soda consumers with a light and fruity palette. This strong portfolio with improved packaging and taste across the board should be a key driver of both new users and increased consumption this year.

Now building on the successes in our product innovation and in marketing, let's move on to our third growth pillar, distribution. We continue to make meaningful progress through our key distribution channels and step by step in new channels. In club, we are focused on building consumer acquisition through trial and thus volume. Earlier successes this year include a new Costco front of store national rotation.

That represents a meaningful opportunity to drive trial with new consumers in underdeveloped and fast growing markets. In the Math Channel, we're growing our Canadian Walmart business to just over half of those stores, and our largest single retail opportunity in the US is to win distribution at Walmart's top competitor.

In grocery, we're leveraging the success story of Albertson's where expanded space and eye-level placement through a vertical brand block have yielded growth and in recent months, share gains. We believe this performance plus the new packaging, new items, and improved taste will yield more retailers to follow Walmart and Albertson's lead, though several spring sets are still forthcoming.

And in e-commerce we continue to see accelerated growth in our business overall and through subscriptions, plus the introduction of our smaller eight count option across flavors in this channel will continue to drive sales. In the medium term, we see meaningful opportunity to drive new distribution across all club operators, value in dollar channels, and in mass, and long-term, as is true for the whole category, convenience and food service remain a big opportunity both for trial and for continued growth.

As the only zero sugar clean label offering at an accessible price point, we are uniquely positioned to stand apart from a crowded, competitive set and better for you soda in each of these key channels. One quick note before handing it over to Girish, we are pleased to announce the appointment of Andy Rubin as chair of the Zevia board.

And he's made valuable contributions over the past five years, most recently as our lead independent director. I look forward to further leveraging his strong background, including being the founder of Trove recomommerce, a practiced ECG consultant, and a 10-year Walmart veteran, where he served as VP of corporate strategy and as Chief Sustainability Officer.

Patty Spence will remain on the board, and we are grateful for his ongoing support. And then finally, we're pleased to welcome Suzanne Gstro as a director, as previously announced. She's a seasoned marketing executive with over 25 years of experience in brand building and consumer growth. Her background and track record of success will further strengthen our board capabilities.

In closing, I'm energized by what our team has accomplished and even more so for the future as our strategic initiatives bear fruit and accelerate momentum. While we still have a lot of work to do, we are focused on the long-term, and we believe we are well positioned to capitalize on the strong, better for you beverage tailwinds well into the future.

With that, I'll turn it over to Girish.

Thank you, Amy. Good afternoon, everyone, and thanks for joining our call today. 2025 marked a year of transformation for Zetia. The strategic initiatives we deployed across the business enabled us to return to growth and vastly improve our financial profile.

Beyond the strengthening of our financial position, we've also elevated our competitive positioning, which sets the foundation to drive future growth and profitability. Turning to our results, net sales in the fourth quarter decreased 4% to $37.9 million. The decrease versus the prior year was primarily due to lapping of the expanded distribution at Walmart in Q4 2024, as well as a reduction in promotional activity versus the prior year.

Also, as Amy noted, our fourth quarter was impacted by the trade-up of our existing regional Costco rotation to a new national rotation program launched in January. This new program entails front of store placement, raising visibility for the brand as our new 30 can variety pack becomes available nationwide.

Gross margin was 47.7%. 850 basis points declined from 49.2% in the fourth quarter of last year, reflecting channel mix associated with the return to the club channel and higher tariff costs, which was offset by lower promotional activity.

Selling and marketing expenses were $11 million or 29.1% of net sales in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $16.5 million or 41.7% of net sales in the fourth quarter of 2024. Breaking it down, selling expense was $7.4 million, or 19.5% of net sales in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $10 million or 25.3% of net sales in the fourth quarter of 2024.

The improvement was largely a result of lower warehousing and freight transfer costs as we continue to benefit from our productivity initiatives. Marketing expense was $3.6 million or 9.6% of net sales in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $6.5 million or 16.5% of net sales in the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease is primarily due to the timing and marketing spend, as we lacked a significant investment in our holiday campaign last year.

We continue to balance brand and performance marketing with the objective of driving more awareness for Zevia. General administrative expenses were $7.3 million or 19.3% of net sales in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to$ 6.8 million or 17.3% of net sales in the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher accrued variable compensation expense.

As a result of the aforementioned factors, net loss significantly improved to $1.3 million, from $6.8 million from the prior year. Adjesa Vidal was approximately 50,000 compared to Adjei Vidal loss of $3.9 million in the prior year period. Turning to our balance sheet, we ended the quarter with approximately $25.4 million in cash in cash equivalents and have an undrawn revolving credit line of $20 million.

Moving to our full year results, for the full year 2025, ZB achieved net sales of 161.3 million, an increase of 4%.

The increase was was primarily driven by higher volumes associated with the distribution expansion at Walmart. We expanded gross margins to 48% versus 46.4% in 2024 due to better product costing and more effective inventory management.

Net loss more than halved to $11.1 million as compared to a net loss of $23.8 million in 2024, and adjusted EBITDA loss vastly improved to $4.7 million for the year compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $15.2 million for the full year of 2024.

Now turning to our outlook, in 2026, we plan to build on our momentum, leveraging our growth initiatives to broaden our consumer base through amplified marketing, sharpened product innovation, and expanded distribution presence. We are supporting these initiatives with strategic investments enabled by our improved cost structure and healthy balance sheet.

For the full year 2026, we estimate net sales in the range of $169 million to $173 million, or 6% growth at the midpoint of the range versus 2025. Net sales expectations reflect the planned discontinuation of our T line, which we expect to impact growth by 1 to 1.5 points.

Looking at cadence, I would note that the quarterly net sales volumes are expected to shift from previous years, with higher volumes anticipated in the 1st and 3rd quarters. There are several factors impacting this cadence, which are as follows. The Costco National Program launched in the 1st quarter, which benefits net sales growth while having a diluted impact on gross margins.

The second quarter is expected to be impacted by the planned discontinuation of our tea offering, the lapping of sell-ins to Walgreens and Albertson's in the second quarter of last year, as well as the shift in marketing and promotional dollars spent from Q2 to Q3. This shift is to better align with our new packaging rollout.

We expect to realize the impact of planned price increases beginning in Q2. Turning your profitability, we are expecting a full year adjusted EBITDA range from a loss of $1 million to $0.5 million, which incorporates an incremental $5 million in tariff related aluminum costs beginning in Q2, as well as continued reinvestment in our business.

Our guidance also assumes gross margins in the high 40% range starting in Q2, barring further increases in aluminum costs. We also expect to start realizing the last tranche of $5 million in savings from our productivity initiative towards the end of Q2. For the first quarter of 2026, we expect net sales of between $40 million to $42 million. This guidance reflects volume gains associated with our national Costco program that begin in January.

While the Costco program yields lower gross margins, we believe an investment in the Club channel will support growth in trial and drive awareness. We expect an adjusted EBITDA loss of between $1.6 million and $1.9 million, reflecting a mid-fortiess gross margin range.

In closing, the progress we've made has positioned us to move confidently into the next phase of our strategic plan. With mid-single-digit household penetration and strong tailwinds in the broader, better for you so to space, we believe we have ample runway for growth and improved profitability over the long-term.

I will now turn it over to the operator to begin Q&A operator.

Great, thank you for taking the question. I wanted to start with the Costco rotation program. It's great to see that you guys are nationally up from regionally before. So how does the program work? Can you help us understand? Is it nationally, but it is still rotation, or you guys, Ziva will be at Costco all through the year? Any color on the Costco program would be helpful.

Thank you.

Sure, no problem. Yeah, we're excited about the fact that we are able to kick off nationally at Costco through what is a rotation that took place at the beginning of the year, stronger visibility for the brand and almost most importantly, penetration into regions where we haven't had Costco distribution before. So what we expect going forward is in a couple of regions, I think Texas and some across the South, the Southwest. There's a number of regions where they've never carried Zika before.

We saw very strong velocities, and we expect to continue in those regions, whether through additional regional rotations or hopefully as a new permanent item, which is the case in a few other regions. And then the other opportunity is to reengage with Costco based on the success of the program to look at incremental national rotations in the future.

So there's a couple different ways forward, arron. We could gain new regions permanently or we could gain incremental rotations either regionally or nationally based on what appears to be very strong performance out of the gates in the January program.

Okay, that's great. And then, second question I had, was about the tariffs. Can you talk a little bit about, exposure to tariffs? I know you called it out about $5 million, but how are you mitigating that in some ways, it seems like there's a price increase coming up.

Or trying to offset that there's also some COGS initiatives you have, so walk us through how are you mitigating that tariff exposure and, you know how long it should last, in your CNL. I know we started lapping it this year, so that would be helpful. Thank you.

Sure, so what we'll see in the P&L of course is increased exposure to increased aluminum costs, which is reflected in our guide. The two things that we are doing to mitigate it, one, of course, as you mentioned, is the price increase which we are, which we're taken, and they will begin to see, or have communicated rather, and we'll begin to see the impact of it in Q2.

Secondly, we have the incremental $5 million, which is the last tranche of the savings from the productivity initiative, which again will also start. Hitting the P&L in Q2 as well, and so those two items, price and incremental cost are the main, factors that we're leveraging to mitigate the increased aluminum exposure.

Okay. Thank you.

Jim Salera - Stephens Inc

Hi Amy. Hi Ger, good afternoon. Thanks for taking our question. The startup, maybe just a quick housekeeping on is the, million or so that you guys came up short of the 4Q top-line guy that you provided in 3Q, is that just by virtue of the costs of timing shifts or is there anything else in there that we should be aware of?

It's primarily due to the Costco timing shift where we had planned some we had planned regional rotations in Q4, we moved those into a, broader national rotation in Q1, so the volume shifted from Q4 to Q1.

Got it and then on the as we think about, better visibility, obviously more locations in in Costco and some other retailers, when is all of the new packaging going to be in market and do you guys have any marketing programs kind of around, having the kind of fully implemented new packaging to to help drive some visibility and maybe call attention to that?

Absolutely, thanks, Jim. So first of all, the packaging is starting to show up on the shelf now and it looks amazing. It really pops. It looks delicious. It screams the specific reasons to believe in Zetia, and I think that is tremendous support for our positioning in the market, especially given.

The advantage that we offer versus our competition, especially against which we are are shelved now on a regular basis, given the way that the category has developed, so it looks great on shelf where you'll see it flow through because we are doing what we call a rolling launch is largely into Q2.

And I prepared, I mentioned in prepared remarks that we have a heavily digital campaign, some of which will be showing up at retail in March, kind of at a brand level, but more specifically in parallel to the packaging rollout, our improved taste will be rolling out at the same time across.

Legacy of some of our classic flavors and we have a spring summer marketing campaign which I'm going to speak about a little bit more on the next call which will engage some pretty familiar faces and and a high impact reach personalities that love Zia and it's just a great opportunity to drive reach awareness.

Trial and then given the fantastic new taste and the rate of innovation that we've been driving lately also repeat so we are bullish on the summer that will start really hitting the shelves and hitting the market late Q2 and support the business through the back half of the year and going forward.

Great. If I can sneak one other one in real quick. I think you guys finished with marketing spend for 2025 at like $20 million, maybe a little shy of that. Can you just give us a sense for what overall marketing spending looks like in 2026 as we think about, kind of the balance between flowing through some of the cost savings, versus reinvesting in visibility for the brand.

Yeah, thanks, Jim. We will continue to increase investment in marketing and as a percentage of revenue. It'll range between let's call it 12 and 13% of revenue in 2026, so a slight increase, over 2025 as a percentage of revenue.

Thanks, Jim.

Eric Des Lauriers, Craig-Hallum Capital Group.

Great, thanks for taking my questions. First one for me, another follow-up on Costco. So I'm wondering how many of these regions are new and are, any of these regions, are you also under under penetrated in other channels in these regions or is it sort of just club or just Costco where you've been relatively under penetrated here? Thanks.

Sure, Eric.

So about a little bit of each. So the regions that have never carried devia before. Are about 35-40% of the regions that we showed up in in this national program. So that's net new and that's exciting to us from a trial driving perspective, especially when you think about the fact that it's a variety pack, and everybody can kind of find their favorite flavor.

That trial driving mechanism often supports growth across channels and brings people into the franchise for the first time, a lot of incrementality in the club business.

And then to answer the second part of your question, yes, a region like Texas, where we see accelerated velocities in the national program is exciting to think about how our business could grow across channels, from if you think about Texas and go east, we have lower market penetration on the East Coast. Than we do, let's say in the Midwest and across the West Coast.

So these step changes really help us to expand reach and help to be a catalyst for other channels as well and other specific geography. So excited about the Southeast, Texas, and the East Coast in general as benefiting from this national program.

That's great to hear. And do any of the, flavors in that variety pack contain, either any of your new flavors or the new improved, formulation?

New flavors as of now, yes, new as of 2025, and new taste profile for the classic flavors, not yet. And so think about the pack design, the increase in marketing spend sort of seasonally, and the improved taste profile all ramping up during peak beverage season, so late spring.

That's right here. And then just last one from me, just wondering if you can expand a bit on the DSD market, Pacific Northwest, and I believe it's Arizona, just how how that how the trends there continue. Thank you.

Sure, so you know we've, we are learning that time in market with a DSD operator yields some stronger results, meaning we are really starting to crack through distribution of display in grocery from our DSD partners and so we see grocery in our DSD markets outperforming rest of markets.

And very new news we're starting to see some of our singles programs perform better than they have in the past because of what we're able to execute again in grocery with our DSC partners help. And so we're leveraging some of those insights when we think about how do we drive trial and specifically how do we drive singles success through the spring and summer with the marketing and packaging rollout that you and I were just discussing. Convenience is more of a long-term opportunity.

I believe that that's true for the category in general. If we think about the fit of the shopper in the convenience environment to the category and its promise, it'll just take a little more time. But our DSC partners are able to help us to test and learn in some regional pilots, and we continue to do that with a few success stories that help us to learn what exactly sets the brand up for success at these early stages in the channel.

Great, thanks for taking my questions.

Thanks Eric.

Andrew Strelzik, BMO Capital Markets.

Hey, good afternoon. Thanks for taking the questions. My first one, I think I caught this right. You made a comment about Albertson's and some of the successes there and kind of insinuated that other retailers may follow suit. Can you just maybe elaborate a little on what you were talking about there? And is the implication that there are some potential sales opportunities out there that aren't at this point included in your guidance because you don't have full visibility to them?

Let me start with your second question, then I'll go backwards into the grocery channel dynamics and specifically Albertson's. Our guide does consider in some part that we have yet to receive final spring set, communication from several retailers, and this is not atypical, right? It's February, the resets are March, April, or May, depending on the retailer.

So there could be, some improvements in set. And of course, we guide, just thoughtfully thinking about what we know, what we don't know, AakA just visibility into the channel. The comment on Albertson's is a really a significant learning for us around, assortment.

Plannograms and innovation and the reason I say that is in Albertson's in spring of last year we increased our space by 30% by way of expansion of the category and by way of exciting new flavors. Albertson's took the majority of our flavors and most importantly, built out a brand block for Zetia which was vertical, taking our brand to eye level.

And with that we saw accelerating growth over the last 6 months, close to over the last 6 months we grew faster than the category, AKA grew share in our performance over the last 6 months, and that continues to accelerate in the last couple of 4 week reads where we were close to doubling the growth of the rest of the category.

And I say that just to go back to when the product is properly placed on shelf, when it features all of our innovation, and when we have the right assortment, we have a very strong case study to then take to other retailers and continue to expand on it. Now these big national grocery chains move slowly. But our expectation is that over time, we're able to move more national and regional grocers in the direction that Walmart and Albertson's are going, which is now, 6+ months after the resets, really bearing fruit.

Got it. Okay, that was very clear. And then, you gave some good color on some of the puts and takes through the year on the sales side and our sales growth side. And so I was wondering about gross margins through the year, what you can share on that, or how we should think about gross margins for the year. It sounds like maybe 1 cube is the low point with with Costco and then the pricing coming through in 2 cu, but, any color on that would be helpful.

Sure, Andrew. So, as you noted in Q1, we'll see a bit of a downtick from Q4 in terms of gross margin, particularly related to this. National rotational program at Costco. Beginning in Q2, you'll begin to see the impact not only of the price increase but some of the incremental mitigation factors around.

Mitigating aluminum tariffs and so we expect to see both of those things again starting in Q2. So we expect in Q2 and thereafter margins to return back to the upper 40s range.

Andrew.

Eric Sirota - Morgan Stanley.

Great, thanks. So, quick one for, Gresh in terms of the price increase. Can you give us some idea of the magnitude we're talking here low single-digits, mid single-digits, and what you're assuming in.

Okay, that's great. And then what are you assuming in terms of elasticity impact? It seems a little different than in the past when everyone was taking pricing at the same time. Some of the CSD players have moved already, moved late last year, so just wondering your thoughts on elasticity and then a question for Amy.

Yeah, I, as a reminder, we did not take price last year and so we're taking price this year beginning in Q2. Elasticity, I think generally speaking, we've. Evaluated around a, 1.1 or so, which is what we've seen historically, and that's kind of what's baked into our guidance.

Yeah, and I think one of the most important things on the price increase and on the elasticity question is that, we have been a fat follower on price which I think is appropriate for our brand and its size. We do have room on price over the next few years as we continue to build brand and we have been.

I think, most importantly, successful in projecting the impact of price increases, AakA our elasticity assumptions have been correct. So we feel pretty confident in our ability to implement price increase as planned and largely predict its impact on the business. That in this case could be a very positive.

One.

Great. And then, Amy, we're probably what, 15 months or so into Walmart implementing the modern soda set, I guess it was late 2024 if I remember correctly.

How are you seeing that set evolve in the, how have you seen it evolved in the interim? How are you expecting or seeing it evolve this year, heading into and coming out of spring resets, is the overall space for modern soda increasing and how is your space within that set, trending?

Sure. So, just to start with, I think it was pretty cool to see the world's largest retailer be a first mover and and and calling the set modern soda, which I think is very strong positioning. And others follow suit or slowly are doing so and they are pleased with the performance of the set, not only in this li literal performance from a velocity and incrementality perspective, but also in the shopper that it attracts. It's a very attractive shopper. It's a younger shopper.

It's generally a higher income shopper. Now speaking to to Zia specifically, we remain an anchor brand in that set. And I say that because we are the multi-pack player in the set. We are the take home the stock up brand, and we are at a more accessible price point significantly to the rest of the set. So we play a unique role.

We brought some innovation to the table in July of last year, and we're seeing strong growth from those skews, and we're pleased with the mix, and we've grown as much from. Optimizing assortment, so right packs, right flavors as we have from space.

Our space has, despite, tremendous pressure from competition, we've held our space and we've made that space more productive in the form of a variety pack and bringing innovation to Walmart a little bit early.

So we're bullish on Walmart even as we lap the pipeline fill, and we continue to grow there, and we've seen strong market share implications within the customer itself given our expansion through last year and our accelerating velocities.

Great, thanks so much. I'll pass it on.

Thanks.

We have reached the end of our question-and-answer session. I would now like to turn the floor back over to Amy for closing comments.

Sure, thanks. Just briefly, I would, I would just say that in 2025, we returned to growth. We could adjusted even the losses in half. We improved our gross margins even in the midst of a challenging macro, and we gained distribution. So we are proud of the foundation that we've set.

But almost more importantly, we have in our pipeline powerful packaging changes, an accelerating pace of strong innovation, and improved taste across much of our portfolio, and all of this is supported by a sharper brand, which is really resonating with the consumer.

So our position as a clean label, clear liquid, zero sugar, affordable option that also tastes great and increasingly tastes the best among better for you sodas is more relevant than ever. The fundamental changes and increased investments that we're making in the business set us up for the long-term. So thanks for joining us today and we look forward to speaking to you again next quarter.

This concludes today's teleconference. You may disconnect your lines at this time. Thank you for your participation.
