“Lifeway delivered the highest quarterly net sales in Company history, reaching $66.9 million and exceeding our prior record by $3.9 million. Net sales increased 24% year-over-year, on top of a record second quarter in 2025, and marked our 27th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth. As America's original authentic kefir brand, Lifeway has spent 40 years building the trust, expertise, nationwide distribution and retailer relationships that underpin our category leadership. This sustained, volume-led performance demonstrates the strength of our brands and the repeatability of the consumer-growth platform we have built over nearly seven years.”
