• Q1 delivered a strong financial beat with consolidated adjusted EBITDA of $26 million (3x YoY), net sales of $308.8 million (+44%), an operating profit of $3.2 million versus a prior-year loss, and management reaffirmed its 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance of $90–$100 million.
• The Conway facility is now fully operational with all five production lines running (cans, glass, multi-serve bottles, bulk extract), has swung to operating cash flow positive, and management says installed capacity is materially shortening sales cycles and attracting multi-category brand partnerships.
• Beverage Solutions’ segment adjusted EBITDA rose to $23.3 million (up 143% YoY) but includes a one-time ~$4.6 million final payment from a single-serve contract; excluding that item, segment adjusted EBITDA was ~$18.6 million (up 95% YoY).
• Capital intensity is shifting lower — Q1 CapEx ~ $7 million versus >$41 million a year ago, with a planned ~ $30 million for 2026 and an expectation to be free cash flow positive in H2; secured net leverage improved to 3.45x.
• Residual timing and customer concentration risks remain — replacement of volumes lost after a large single-serve customer departure is expected to start in late 2026 and fully replace by end of 2027, and high gasoline prices could pressure c-store channels and near-term demand.
