INVESTOR PRESENTATION
Third Quarter 2025
October 2025
THIRD QUARTER 2025 RESULTS
DELIVERING PROGRESS AMID CONTINUED INDUSTRY HEADWINDS
Consolidated sales decreased 19% to $130.9 million.
Branded Spirits sales declined 3% as another quarter of solid growth in our premium plus portfolio was offset by
lower mid and value portfolio sales, as expected.
Distilling Solutions sales declined by 43%, yet both quarterly and year-to-date sales and gross profit results exceeded our expectations, supported by stronger aged whiskey sales and better than anticipated impact of our proactive partnership approach with customers.
Ingredient Solutions sales increased 9%; however, both quarterly sales and gross profits were pressured by lower production volumes and higher costs associated with the disposal of waste starch streams, commercialization of a large new textured protein customer, and outage of a key piece of equipment.
Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS decreased by 29% and 34% to $32.3 million and $0.85, respectively.
Year to date operating cash flows increased 26% to $92.5 million.
Our net debt leverage ratio remained relatively stable at 1.8x as of September 30, 2025.
Note: All comparisons are on a year-over-year basis except where otherwise noted. See appendix for GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations.
