Beyond Meat Reports Preliminary Results and Arbitration Update
Summary
On October 24, 2025, Beyond Meat disclosed unaudited preliminary financial results for the three months ended September 27, 2025. Net revenue is expected to be approximately $70 million, aligning with previous guidance. Gross margin is projected at 10% to 11%, inclusive of $1.7 million in China-related expenses. The Company also expects to record a material non-cash impairment charge for certain long-lived assets, though the amount is not yet quantifiable. * Operating expenses are expected to be in the range of approximately $41 million to $43 million. * An arbitrator found Beyond Meat had a valid basis to terminate an agreement with a former co-manufacturer, who had claimed at least $73.0 million in damages. * The manufacturer's request to re-open the arbitration hearing was denied on October 20, 2025.
Why It Matters
The preliminary Q3 2025 results, including net revenue in line with guidance and an expected material impairment charge, offer an early view of the company's financial performance. The favorable interim arbitration award, denying a former co-manufacturer's $73.0 million claim, significantly reduces a potential contingent liability.
