  • For Q3 2025, depletions decreased 3% and shipments decreased 13.7% year-over-year, resulting in an 11.2% decrease in revenue. Gross margin improved significantly to 50.8%, the highest since 2018, driven by procurement savings, improved brewery efficiencies, and price increases.

Gross margin guidance was raised to 47%-48% (from 46%-47.3%), and EPS guidance was revised to $7.80-$9.80 (from $6.72-$9.54). Advertising, promotional, and selling expenses are now expected to increase by $50 million-$60 million.
  • Despite industry headwinds like economic uncertainty and moderation trends, Sun Cruiser was a top volume gainer in RTD spirits and is expected to see strong double-digit or even triple-digit growth in 2026. However, Twisted Tea dollar sales are down 5% year-to-date in measured off-premise channels, impacted by macroeconomic factors and competition.
