BELLRING BRANDS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(in millions, except per share information and where indicated otherwise)
NOTE 1 — BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
BellRing Brands, Inc. is a consumer products holding company operating in the global convenient nutrition category and is a provider of ready-to-drink (“RTD”) protein shakes, other RTD beverages and powders. The Company has a single operating and reportable segment, with its principal products being protein-based consumer goods. The Company’s primary brands are Premier Protein and Dymatize.
Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise indicates, all references in these financial statements and notes to “BellRing,” the “Company,” “us,” “our” or “we” mean BellRing Brands, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), under the rules and regulations of the United States (the “U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and on a basis substantially consistent with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with such audited consolidated financial statements, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, filed with the SEC on November 21, 2023.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) that management considers necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s results of operations, comprehensive income, financial position, cash flows and stockholders’ equity for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for any other interim period or for the entire fiscal year.
NOTE 2 — RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
The Company has considered all new accounting pronouncements and has concluded there are no new pronouncements (other than the ones described below) that had or will have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, comprehensive income, financial position, cash flows, stockholders’ equity or related disclosures based on current information.
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 (i.e., the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2026), with early adoption permitted. This ASU should be adopted prospectively; however, retrospective adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 (i.e., the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2025) and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 (i.e., the Company’s interim financial statements for the three months ended December 31, 2025), with early adoption permitted. This ASU requires retrospective adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard.

The Company uses certain functions and services performed by Post under a master services agreement (the “MSA”). These functions and services include finance, internal audit, treasury, information technology support, insurance and tax matters, the use of office and/or data center space, payroll processing services and tax compliance services. MSA fees were $0.8 and $2.5 during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $0.8 and $3.1 during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. MSA fees were reported in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company licenses certain intellectual property to and from Post and its subsidiaries based upon prices governed by agreements between the Company and Post and its subsidiaries, consistent with prices of similar arm's-length transactions. During both the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, royalties paid to and received from Post and its subsidiaries were immaterial.
Co-Packing Agreement
On September 30, 2022, Premier Nutrition Company, LLC (“Premier Nutrition”), a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a co-packing agreement with Comet Processing, Inc. (“Comet”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Post (the “Co-Packing Agreement”). Under the Co-Packing Agreement, Premier Nutrition procures certain packaging materials for Comet that Comet utilizes in the production of RTD shakes for Premier Nutrition. In December 2023, in accordance with the terms of the Co-Packing Agreement, Comet began manufacturing RTD shakes for Premier Nutrition. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, purchases of RTD shakes manufactured by Comet were $4.3 and $6.2, respectively. There were no purchases of RTD shakes manufactured by Comet during fiscal 2023.
As of June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the Company had current payables with Post of $1.0 and $2.5, respectively, related to RTD shake purchases, MSA fees and in the prior year, reimbursable start-up costs, which were included in “Accounts payable” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Current receivables with Post at both June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 were immaterial.

In August 2023, the Company approved a plan to discontinue the PowerBar business in North America. In connection with the discontinuance, the Company updated the useful lives of the customer relationships and trademark associated with the PowerBar business in North America to reflect the remaining period in which the Company expects to sell existing PowerBar product inventory in North America. Accelerated amortization of zero and $17.4 was recorded during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, resulting from the updated useful lives of the customer relationships and trademark associated with the PowerBar business in North America, which were fully amortized and written off as of June 30, 2024.
NOTE 10 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities include cash and cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable for which the carrying value approximates fair value due to their short maturities (less than 12 months). The Company does not record its long-term debt at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in Note 11) as of September 30, 2023 approximated its carrying value. Based on market rates, the fair value (Level 2) of the Company’s debt, excluding any borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, was $860.9 and $830.0 as of June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.
Certain assets and liabilities, including property, goodwill and other intangible assets, are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis using Level 3 inputs.

Long-term debt$832.7 $856.8 
On March 10, 2022, the Company entered into a credit agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), which provides for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $250.0 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), with commitments made available to the Company in U.S. Dollars, Euros and United Kingdom (“U.K.”) Pounds Sterling. Letters of credit are available under the Credit Agreement in an aggregate amount of up to $20.0. Any outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement must be repaid on or before March 10, 2027.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at an annual rate equal to: (i) in the case of loans denominated in U.S. Dollars, at the Company’s option, the base rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a margin which ranges from 2.00% to 2.75% depending on the Company’s secured net leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), or the adjusted term SOFR rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the applicable interest period plus a margin which ranges from 3.00% to 3.75% depending on the Company’s secured net leverage ratio; (ii) in the case of loans denominated in Euros, the adjusted Eurodollar rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the applicable interest period plus a margin which ranges from 3.00% to 3.75% depending on the Company’s secured net leverage ratio; and (iii) in the case of loans denominated in U.K. Pounds Sterling, the adjusted daily simple RFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a margin which ranges from 3.00% to 3.75% depending on the Company’s secured net leverage ratio. Facility fees on the daily unused amount of commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility will accrue at rates ranging from 0.25% to 0.375% per annum, depending on the Company’s secured net leverage ratio.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company borrowed zero and $115.0 under the Revolving Credit Facility, respectively, and repaid $25.0 and $135.0 under the Revolving Credit Facility, respectively. The interest rate on the utilized portion of the Revolving Credit Facility was 8.42% as of September 30, 2023, and there were no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2024. The available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility was $250.0 and $225.0 as of June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively, and there were no outstanding letters of credit as of June 30, 2024 or September 30, 2023.
Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to maintain a total net leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) not to exceed 6.00:1.00, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. The total net leverage ratio of the Company did not exceed this threshold as of June 30, 2024.
The Credit Agreement provides for potential incremental revolving and term facilities at the Company’s request and at the discretion of the lenders or other persons providing such incremental facilities, in each case on terms to be determined, and also permits the Company to incur other secured or unsecured debt, in all cases subject to conditions and limitations as specified in the Credit Agreement.
Furthermore, the Credit Agreement provides for customary events of default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, the maturity of the loans under the Credit Agreement may accelerate and the administrative agent and lenders under the Credit Agreement may exercise other rights and remedies available at law or under the loan documents, including with respect to the collateral securing, and guarantees of, the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement.
The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by its existing and subsequently acquired or organized direct and indirect subsidiaries (other than immaterial subsidiaries, certain excluded subsidiaries and subsidiaries the Company designates as unrestricted subsidiaries) and are secured by security interests in substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of its subsidiary guarantors, but excluding, in each case, real property.

NOTE 12 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
Joint Juice Litigation
In March 2013, a complaint was filed on behalf of a putative, nationwide class of consumers against Premier Nutrition in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief. The case asserted that some of Premier Nutrition’s advertising claims regarding its Joint Juice line of glucosamine and chondroitin dietary supplement beverages, which it discontinued in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, were false and misleading. In April 2016, the district court certified a California-only class of consumers in this lawsuit (this lawsuit is hereinafter referred to as the “California Federal Class Lawsuit”).
In 2016 and 2017, the lead plaintiff’s counsel in the California Federal Class Lawsuit filed ten additional class action complaints in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of putative classes of consumers under the laws of Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan and Pennsylvania (the “Related Federal Actions”). These complaints contain factual allegations similar to the California Federal Class Lawsuit, also seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief. The action on behalf of New Jersey consumers was voluntarily dismissed. Trial in the action on behalf of New York consumers was held beginning in May 2022, and the jury delivered its verdict in favor of plaintiff in June 2022. In August 2022, the Court entered a judgment in that case in favor of plaintiff in the amount of $12.9, which includes statutory damages and prejudgment interest. In October 2022, each plaintiff and Premier Nutrition filed Notices of Appeal to the Ninth Circuit, which appeals are pending. The other eight Related Federal Actions remain pending, and the court has certified individual state classes in each of those cases (except New Mexico).
In April 2018, the district court dismissed the California Federal Class Lawsuit with prejudice. This dismissal was upheld on appeal by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in 2020, and plaintiff’s petition for an en banc rehearing by the Ninth Circuit was denied.
In September 2020, the same lead counsel re-filed the California Federal Class Lawsuit against Premier Nutrition in California Superior Court for the County of Alameda, alleging identical claims and seeking restitution and injunctive relief on behalf of the same putative class of California consumers as the California Federal Class Lawsuit. In March 2023, the Alameda Superior Court granted in part and denied in part Premier Nutrition’s motion for judgment based on res judicata and in May 2023, the Court reaffirmed its ruling. In July 2023, Premier Nutrition filed a petition for writ of mandamus in the California Court of Appeal, which writ was denied in March 2024. In November 2023, the Court certified the case as a class action. Trial is anticipated in fiscal year 2024.
In January 2019, the same lead counsel filed an additional class action complaint against Premier Nutrition in California Superior Court for the County of Alameda, alleging claims similar to the above actions and seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief on behalf of a putative class of California consumers, beginning after the California Federal Class Lawsuit class period. In July 2020, the court issued an order certifying a statewide class. Premier Nutrition moved for summary judgment on July 7, 2023, which motion remains pending. Trial is anticipated in fiscal year 2024.
The Company continues to vigorously defend these cases and intends to appeal any adverse judgements and awards of damages. The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these cases will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Other than legal fees, no expense related to this litigation was incurred during the three or nine months ended June 30, 2024 or 2023. At both June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the Company had an estimated liability of $21.0 related to these matters that was included in “Other current liabilities” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Protein Products Class Litigation
In June 2023, a complaint was filed on behalf of a putative, nationwide class of consumers against the Company and Premier Nutrition in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint alleges that Premier Nutrition engages in fraud and false advertising (via alleged affirmative representations and omissions) regarding its RTD protein shakes and protein powders by marketing the products as good sources of nutrition and protein when the products contain (or have a material risk of containing) high levels of undisclosed lead (this lawsuit is hereinafter referred to as the “Protein Products Class Lawsuit”). Plaintiffs seek monetary remedies for economic injury (products are allegedly worth less than what was paid for them), as well as injunctive relief. The Protein Products Class Lawsuit alleges that high levels of lead pose serious safety risks, but does not allege that any plaintiff or putative class member suffered personal injuries and does not seek any remedies for personal injuries.
The Company and Premier Nutrition filed a motion to dismiss this case in August 2023, which motion was granted in part and denied in part. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in July 2024. The Company intends to vigorously defend the case,
10

including appealing any adverse judgement or award. The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of the Protein Products Class Lawsuit will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Other than legal fees, no expense related to the Protein Products Class Lawsuit was incurred during the three or nine months ended June 30, 2024 or 2023.
California Proposition 65 Notice re Lead in Protein Products
On June 7, 2023, the Fitzgerald Joseph LLP law firm (the same firm that filed the Protein Products Class Lawsuit) issued a 60-Day Notice of Intent to Sue under California’s Safe Water and Toxic Enforcement Act (Proposition 65) for alleged violation of Proposition 65 with respect to lead levels in Premier Nutrition’s RTD protein shakes and protein powders (this matter is hereinafter referred to as the “Protein Products Prop 65 Notice”).
Premier Nutrition intends to vigorously defend against the Protein Products Prop 65 Notice. The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of the Protein Products Prop 65 Notice will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Other than legal fees, no expense related to the Protein Products Prop 65 Notice was incurred during the three or nine months ended June 30, 2024 or 2023.
Other
The Company is subject to various other legal proceedings and actions arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, based upon the information presently known, the ultimate liability, if any, arising from such pending legal proceedings, as well as from asserted legal claims and known potential legal claims which are likely to be asserted, taking into account established accruals for estimated liabilities (if any), are not expected to be material individually or in the aggregate to the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. In addition, although it is difficult to estimate the potential financial impact of actions regarding expenditures for compliance with regulatory matters, in the opinion of management, based upon the information currently available, the ultimate liability arising from such compliance matters is not expected to be material to the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The following discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting the consolidated operating results, financial condition, liquidity and capital resources of BellRing Brands, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included herein, our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023 and the “Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Statements” section included below. The terms “our,” “we,” “us,” “Company” and “BellRing” refer to BellRing Brands, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
OVERVIEW
We are a consumer products holding company operating in the global convenient nutrition category and are a provider of ready-to-drink (“RTD”) protein shakes, other RTD beverages and powders. We have a single operating and reportable segment, with our principal products being protein-based consumer goods. Our primary brands are Premier Protein and Dymatize.
Market Trends
During fiscal 2023, input cost inflation, including raw material, packaging and manufacturing costs, impacted our supply chain and put downward pressure on profit margins. As a result, we took pricing actions on certain products in the prior fiscal year. During fiscal 2024, inflationary pressures on protein costs eased while other costs, such as packaging and manufacturing, continued to face inflationary pressures. We expect inflationary pressures on most input costs to increase during the remainder of fiscal 2024, and inflation could have a materially adverse impact on our business in the future if inflation rates were to significantly exceed our ability to achieve price increases or cost savings or if such price increases impact demand for our products.
For additional discussion, refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources” and “Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Statements” within this section.

Net Sales
Net sales increased $69.5 million, or 16%, during the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year period. Sales of Premier Protein products were up $72.3 million, or 20%, driven by 19% higher volumes primarily due to higher RTD shake production and distribution gains. Sales oDymatize products were down $1.7 million, or 3%, driven by a decrease in average net selling prices primarily due to increased promotional spending and unfavorable mix. This decrease was partially offset by 4% higher volumes primarily due to increases in international channel volumes. Sales of all other products were down $1.1 million.
Net sales increased $246.2 million, or 21%, during the nine months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year period. Sales of Premier Protein products were up $236.5 million, or 24%, driven by 27% higher volumes primarily due to increased promotional activity, which resulted in lower average net selling prices, higher RTD shake production and distribution gains. Sales oDymatize products were up $10.7 million, or 6%, on 11% higher volumes. Dymatize volumes increased primarily due to the timing of quarterly shipments. This increase was partially offset by decreased average net selling prices in the nine months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to increased promotional spending. Sales of all other products were down $1.0 million.
12

Operating Profit
Operating profit increased $35.6 million, or 47%, during the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year period. This increase was driven by higher net sales, as previously discussed, and lower net product costs of $36.2 million (primarily due to lower raw material costs, partially offset by higher manufacturing costs). These positive impacts were partially offset by higher employee-related expenses of $8.8 million and higher advertising expense of $3.3 million.
Operating profit increased $66.4 million, or 32%, during the nine months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily driven by higher net sales (net of increased promotional activity), as previously discussed, and lower net product costs of $78.2 million (driven by lower raw material costs, partially offset by higher manufacturing costs). These positive impacts were partially offset by higher accelerated amortization of $17.4 million related to the discontinuance of the PowerBar business in North America, higher employee-related expenses of $22.0 million and higher advertising expense of $7.6 million.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net decreased $2.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year period primarily due to lower borrowings outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” within this section). As a result, the weighted-average interest rate on our total outstanding debt decreased to 7.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from 7.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Interest expense, net decreased $7.0 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year period primarily due to lower borrowings outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility. As a result, the weighted-average interest rate on our total outstanding debt decreased to 7.0% for the nine months ended June 30, 2024 from 7.2% for the nine months ended June 30, 2023.
See Note 11 within “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information on our debt.
Income Tax Expense
Our effective income tax rate was 24.2% and 24.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 24.6% for both the nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the nine months ended June 30, 2024, we repaid $25.0 million under our revolving credit facility, which is provided under our credit agreement entered into on March 10, 2022 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) in an aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). As of June 30, 2024, there were no outstanding borrowings or letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility, providing us available borrowing capacity of $250.0 million. Letters of credit are available under the Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate amount of up to $20.0 million. Our Credit Agreement provides for potential incremental revolving and term facilities at the Company’s request and at the discretion of the lenders or other persons providing such incremental facilities, in each case on terms to be determined, and also permits the Company to incur other secured or unsecured debt, in all cases subject to conditions and limitations as specified in the Credit Agreement.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased 1.9 million shares of our common stock at an average share price of $56.18 per share and at a total cost, including accrued excise tax and broker’s commissions, of $107.1 million.
We expect to generate positive cash flows from operations and believe our cash on hand, cash flows from operations and possible future credit facilities will be sufficient to satisfy our future working capital requirements, purchase commitments, research and development activities, debt repayments (including interest payments), share repurchases and other financing requirements for the foreseeable future. We are currently not aware of any trends or demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in, or that are reasonably likely to result in, our liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way that will impact meeting our capital needs during or beyond the next twelve months. Our ability to generate positive cash flows from operations is dependent on general economic conditions, competitive pressures and other business risk factors. We believe that we have sufficient liquidity and cash on hand to satisfy our cash needs. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, or otherwise to comply with the terms of our credit facilities, we may be required to seek additional financing alternatives.
Short-term financing needs primarily consist of working capital requirements and interest payments on our 7.00% senior notes maturing in March 2030 (the “7.00% Senior Notes”). Long-term financing needs include the repayment of our 7.00% Senior Notes. Additional long-term financing needs will depend largely on potential growth opportunities, including acquisition activity and other strategic transactions. Our asset-light business model requires modest capital expenditures, with annual capital expenditures over the last three fiscal years averaging less than 1% of net sales. No significant capital expenditures are planned during the next 12 months. Additionally, we may seek to repurchase shares of our common stock. Such repurchases, if
13

any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2024 increased $28.8 million compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to fluctuations in the timing of payments of trade payables and decreased interest payments of $5.7 million due to lower borrowings outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility. These positive impacts were partially offset by increased trade receivable levels in the current year period, driven by higher net sales, and increased tax payments (net of refunds) of $16.4 million.

The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants applicable to us and our restricted subsidiaries customary for agreements of this type, including delivery of financial and other information; compliance with laws; maintenance of property, existence, insurance and books and records; providing inspection rights; obligation to provide collateral and guarantees by certain new subsidiaries; delivery of environmental reports; participation in an annual meeting with the agent and the lenders; further assurances; and limitations with respect to indebtedness, liens, fundamental changes, restrictive agreements, use of proceeds, amendments of organization documents, prepayments and amendments of certain indebtedness, dispositions of assets, acquisitions and other investments, sale leaseback transactions, changes in the nature of business, transactions with affiliates and dividends and redemptions or repurchases of stock. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, we are also required to comply with a financial covenant requiring us to maintain a total net leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) not to exceed 6.00:1.00, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. We were in compliance with the financial covenant as of June 30, 2024, and we do not believe non-compliance is reasonably likely in the foreseeable future.
The Credit Agreement provides for potential incremental revolving and term facilities at our request and at the discretion of the lenders or other persons providing such incremental facilities, in each case on terms to be determined, and also permits us to incur other secured or unsecured debt, in all cases subject to conditions and limitations as specified in the Credit Agreement.
In addition, the indenture governing the 7.00% Senior Notes contains negative covenants customary for this type of agreement that limit our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to, among other things: borrow money or guarantee debt; create liens; pay dividends on, or redeem or repurchase, stock; make specified types of investments and acquisitions; enter
14

into or permit to exist contractual limits on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends to us; enter into transactions with affiliates; and sell assets or merge with other companies. Certain of these covenants are subject to suspension when and if the 7.00% Senior Notes receive investment grade ratings.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Our critical accounting estimates are more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2023, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 21, 2023. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates since September 30, 2023.

Forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, are made throughout this report, including statements regarding unanticipated developments that negatively impact our common stock . These forward-looking statements are sometimes identified from the use of forward-looking words such as “believe,” “should,” “could,” “potential,” “continue,” “expect,” “project,” “estimate,” “predict,” “anticipate,” “aim,” “intend,” “plan,” “forecast,” “target,” “is likely,” “will,” “can,” “may” or “would” or the negative of these terms or similar expressions elsewhere in this report. Our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on management’s current views and assumptions and involve risks and uncertainties that could affect expected results. Those risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following:
our dependence on sales from our RTD protein shakes;
our ability to continue to compete in our product categories and our ability to retain our market position and favorable perceptions of our brands;
disruptions or inefficiencies in our supply chain, including as a result of our reliance on third-party suppliers or manufacturers for the manufacturing of many of our products, pandemics and other outbreaks of contagious diseases, labor shortages, fires and evacuations related thereto, changes in weather conditions, natural disasters, agricultural diseases and pests and other events beyond our control;
our dependence on a limited number of third-party contract manufacturers for the manufacturing of most of our products, including one manufacturer for the majority of our RTD protein shakes;
the ability of our third-party contract manufacturers to produce an amount of our products that enables us to meet customer and consumer demand for the products;
our reliance on a limited number of third-party suppliers to provide certain ingredients and packaging;
significant volatility in the cost or availability of inputs to our business (including freight, raw materials, packaging, energy, labor and other supplies);

the loss of, a significant reduction of purchases by or the bankruptcy of a major customer;
legal and regulatory factors, such as compliance with existing laws and regulations, as well as new laws and regulations and changes to existing laws and regulations and interpretations thereof, affecting our business, including current and future laws and regulations regarding food safety, advertising, labeling, tax matters and environmental matters;
fluctuations in our business due to changes in our promotional activities and seasonality;
our ability to maintain the net selling prices of our products and manage promotional activities with respect to our products;
15

our ability to obtain additional financing (including both secured and unsecured debt) and our ability to service our outstanding debt (including covenants that restrict the operation of our business);
the accuracy of our market data and attributes and related information;
changes in critical accounting estimates;
uncertain or unfavorable economic conditions that limit customer and consumer demand for our products or increase our costs;
risks related to our ongoing relationship with Post following the Spin-off, including our obligations under various agreements with Post;
conflicting interests or the appearance of conflicting interests resulting from certain of our directors also serving as officers or directors of Post;
risks related to the previously completed Spin-off;
the ultimate impact litigation or other regulatory matters may have on us;
risks associated with our international business;
our ability to protect our intellectual property and other assets and to continue to use third-party intellectual property subject to intellectual property licenses;
costs, business disruptions and reputational damage associated with technology failures, cybersecurity incidents and corruption of our data privacy protections;
impairment in the carrying value of goodwill or other intangible assets;
our ability to identify, complete and integrate or otherwise effectively execute acquisitions or other strategic transactions and effectively manage our growth;
our ability to hire and retain talented personnel, employee absenteeism, labor strikes, work stoppages or unionization efforts;
our ability to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;
significant differences in our actual operating results from any guidance we may give regarding our performance; and
other risks and uncertainties included under “Risk Factors” in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, filed with the SEC on November 21, 2023.
You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Moreover, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this report to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations.
ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Commodity Price Risk
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to commodity price risks relating to the purchases of raw materials. The Company manages the impact of cost increases, wherever possible, on commercially reasonable terms, by locking in prices on the quantities through purchase commitments required to meet production requirements. In addition, the Company may attempt to offset the effect of increased costs by raising prices to customers. However, for competitive reasons, the Company may not be able to pass along the full effect of increases in raw materials and other input costs as they are incurred.
Foreign Currency Risk
Related to Active Nutrition International GmbH, whose functional currency is the Euro, the Company is exposed to risks of fluctuations in future cash flows and earnings due to changes in exchange rates.
Interest Rate Risk
As of both June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the Company had outstanding principal value indebtedness of $840.0 million related to its 7.00% Senior Notes. Additionally, the Company had an aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million
16

outstanding under its Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2023. The Company had no amounts outstanding under its Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2024. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at variable rates.
As of June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the fair value of the Company’s debt, excluding any borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility, was $860.9 million and $830.0 million, respectively. Changes in interest rates impact fixed and variable rate debt differently. For fixed rate debt, a change in interest rates will only impact the fair value of the debt, whereas a change in interest rates on variable rate debt will impact interest expense and cash flows. A hypothetical 10% decrease in interest rates would have increased the fair value of the fixed rate debt by approximately $15 million and $19 million as of June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. A hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates would have had an immaterial impact on both interest expense and interest paid during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. For additional information regarding the Company’s debt, see Note 11 within “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.”
ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management, with the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of the Company, has evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
17

PART II.    OTHER INFORMATION.
ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
The information required under this Item 1 is set forth in Note 12 within “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Part I, Item 1 of this report, which is incorporated herein by reference. For disclosure of environmental proceedings with a governmental entity as a party pursuant to Item 103(c)(3)(iii) of Regulation S-K, the Company has elected to disclose matters where the Company reasonably believes such proceeding would result in monetary sanctions, exclusive of interest and costs, of $1.0 million or more. Applying this threshold, there are no such environmental proceedings to disclose for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS.
In addition to the information set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”), you should carefully consider the risk factors we previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on November 21, 2023, as of and for the year ended September 30, 2023 (the “Annual Report”). As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in the Annual Report. These risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
ITEM 2.    UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities include cash and cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable for which the carrying value approximates fair value due to their short maturities (less than 12 months). The Company does not record its long-term debt at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in Note 11) as of September 30, 2023 approximated its carrying value. Based on market rates, the fair value (Level 2) of the Company’s debt, excluding any borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, was $860.9 and $830.0 as of June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.
Certain assets and liabilities, including property, goodwill and other intangible assets, are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis using Level 3 inputs.

On March 10, 2022, the Company entered into a credit agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), which provides for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $250.0 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), with commitments made available to the Company in U.S. Dollars, Euros and United Kingdom (“U.K.”) Pounds Sterling. Letters of credit are available under the Credit Agreement in an aggregate amount of up to $20.0. Any outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement must be repaid on or before March 10, 2027.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at an annual rate equal to: (i) in the case of loans denominated in U.S. Dollars, at the Company’s option, the base rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a margin which ranges from 2.00% to 2.75% depending on the Company’s secured net leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), or the adjusted term SOFR rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the applicable interest period plus a margin which ranges from 3.00% to 3.75% depending on the Company’s secured net leverage ratio; (ii) in the case of loans denominated in Euros, the adjusted Eurodollar rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the applicable interest period plus a margin which ranges from 3.00% to 3.75% depending on the Company’s secured net leverage ratio; and (iii) in the case of loans denominated in U.K. Pounds Sterling, the adjusted daily simple RFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a margin which ranges from 3.00% to 3.75% depending on the Company’s secured net leverage ratio. Facility fees on the daily unused amount of commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility will accrue at rates ranging from 0.25% to 0.375% per annum, depending on the Company’s secured net leverage ratio.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company borrowed zero and $115.0 under the Revolving Credit Facility, respectively, and repaid $25.0 and $135.0 under the Revolving Credit Facility, respectively. The interest rate on the utilized portion of the Revolving Credit Facility was 8.42% as of September 30, 2023, and there were no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2024. The available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility was $250.0 and $225.0 as of June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively, and there were no outstanding letters of credit as of June 30, 2024 or September 30, 2023.
Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to maintain a total net leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) not to exceed 6.00:1.00, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. The total net leverage ratio of the Company did not exceed this threshold as of June 30, 2024.
The Credit Agreement provides for potential incremental revolving and term facilities at the Company’s request and at the discretion of the lenders or other persons providing such incremental facilities, in each case on terms to be determined, and also permits the Company to incur other secured or unsecured debt, in all cases subject to conditions and limitations as specified in the Credit Agreement.
Furthermore, the Credit Agreement provides for customary events of default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, the maturity of the loans under the Credit Agreement may accelerate and the administrative agent and lenders under the Credit Agreement may exercise other rights and remedies available at law or under the loan documents, including with respect to the collateral securing, and guarantees of, the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement.
The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by its existing and subsequently acquired or organized direct and indirect subsidiaries (other than immaterial subsidiaries, certain excluded subsidiaries and subsidiaries the Company designates as unrestricted subsidiaries) and are secured by security interests in substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of its subsidiary guarantors, but excluding, in each case, real property.

Legal Proceedings
Joint Juice Litigation
In March 2013, a complaint was filed on behalf of a putative, nationwide class of consumers against Premier Nutrition in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief. The case asserted that some of Premier Nutrition’s advertising claims regarding its Joint Juice line of glucosamine and chondroitin dietary supplement beverages, which it discontinued in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, were false and misleading. In April 2016, the district court certified a California-only class of consumers in this lawsuit (this lawsuit is hereinafter referred to as the “California Federal Class Lawsuit”).
In 2016 and 2017, the lead plaintiff’s counsel in the California Federal Class Lawsuit filed ten additional class action complaints in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of putative classes of consumers under the laws of Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan and Pennsylvania (the “Related Federal Actions”). These complaints contain factual allegations similar to the California Federal Class Lawsuit, also seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief. The action on behalf of New Jersey consumers was voluntarily dismissed. Trial in the action on behalf of New York consumers was held beginning in May 2022, and the jury delivered its verdict in favor of plaintiff in June 2022. In August 2022, the Court entered a judgment in that case in favor of plaintiff in the amount of $12.9, which includes statutory damages and prejudgment interest. In October 2022, each plaintiff and Premier Nutrition filed Notices of Appeal to the Ninth Circuit, which appeals are pending. The other eight Related Federal Actions remain pending, and the court has certified individual state classes in each of those cases (except New Mexico).
In April 2018, the district court dismissed the California Federal Class Lawsuit with prejudice. This dismissal was upheld on appeal by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in 2020, and plaintiff’s petition for an en banc rehearing by the Ninth Circuit was denied.
In September 2020, the same lead counsel re-filed the California Federal Class Lawsuit against Premier Nutrition in California Superior Court for the County of Alameda, alleging identical claims and seeking restitution and injunctive relief on behalf of the same putative class of California consumers as the California Federal Class Lawsuit. In March 2023, the Alameda Superior Court granted in part and denied in part Premier Nutrition’s motion for judgment based on res judicata and in May 2023, the Court reaffirmed its ruling. In July 2023, Premier Nutrition filed a petition for writ of mandamus in the California Court of Appeal, which writ was denied in March 2024. In November 2023, the Court certified the case as a class action. Trial is anticipated in fiscal year 2024.
In January 2019, the same lead counsel filed an additional class action complaint against Premier Nutrition in California Superior Court for the County of Alameda, alleging claims similar to the above actions and seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief on behalf of a putative class of California consumers, beginning after the California Federal Class Lawsuit class period. In July 2020, the court issued an order certifying a statewide class. Premier Nutrition moved for summary judgment on July 7, 2023, which motion remains pending. Trial is anticipated in fiscal year 2024.
The Company continues to vigorously defend these cases and intends to appeal any adverse judgements and awards of damages. The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these cases will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Other than legal fees, no expense related to this litigation was incurred during the three or nine months ended June 30, 2024 or 2023. At both June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the Company had an estimated liability of $21.0 related to these matters that was included in “Other current liabilities” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Protein Products Class Litigation
In June 2023, a complaint was filed on behalf of a putative, nationwide class of consumers against the Company and Premier Nutrition in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint alleges that Premier Nutrition engages in fraud and false advertising (via alleged affirmative representations and omissions) regarding its RTD protein shakes and protein powders by marketing the products as good sources of nutrition and protein when the products contain (or have a material risk of containing) high levels of undisclosed lead (this lawsuit is hereinafter referred to as the “Protein Products Class Lawsuit”). Plaintiffs seek monetary remedies for economic injury (products are allegedly worth less than what was paid for them), as well as injunctive relief. The Protein Products Class Lawsuit alleges that high levels of lead pose serious safety risks, but does not allege that any plaintiff or putative class member suffered personal injuries and does not seek any remedies for personal injuries.
The Company and Premier Nutrition filed a motion to dismiss this case in August 2023, which motion was granted in part and denied in part. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in July 2024. The Company intends to vigorously defend the case,
including appealing any adverse judgement or award. The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of the Protein Products Class Lawsuit will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Other than legal fees, no expense related to the Protein Products Class Lawsuit was incurred during the three or nine months ended June 30, 2024 or 2023.
California Proposition 65 Notice re Lead in Protein Products
On June 7, 2023, the Fitzgerald Joseph LLP law firm (the same firm that filed the Protein Products Class Lawsuit) issued a 60-Day Notice of Intent to Sue under California’s Safe Water and Toxic Enforcement Act (Proposition 65) for alleged violation of Proposition 65 with respect to lead levels in Premier Nutrition’s RTD protein shakes and protein powders (this matter is hereinafter referred to as the “Protein Products Prop 65 Notice”).
Premier Nutrition intends to vigorously defend against the Protein Products Prop 65 Notice. The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of the Protein Products Prop 65 Notice will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Other than legal fees, no expense related to the Protein Products Prop 65 Notice was incurred during the three or nine months ended June 30, 2024 or 2023.
Other
The Company is subject to various other legal proceedings and actions arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, based upon the information presently known, the ultimate liability, if any, arising from such pending legal proceedings, as well as from asserted legal claims and known potential legal claims which are likely to be asserted, taking into account established accruals for estimated liabilities (if any), are not expected to be material individually or in the aggregate to the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. In addition, although it is difficult to estimate the potential financial impact of actions regarding expenditures for compliance with regulatory matters, in the opinion of management, based upon the information currently available, the ultimate liability arising from such compliance matters is not expected to be material to the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
