Boston Beer Company Reports $625.4 Million Revenue and 15.5% Net Income Increase

The Boston Beer Company, Inc. reported a net revenue of $625.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2025, reflecting a 1.5% increase from $614.2 million in the same period last year. The company’s net income rose to $60.4 million, or $5.45 per diluted share, compared to $52.3 million, or $4.39 per diluted share, in the prior year, marking a 15.5% increase in profitability. For the first half of the fiscal year, total revenue reached $1.1 billion, up from $1.07 billion, while net income for the period was $84.8 million, a 30.7% increase from $64.9 million in the previous year.

The company experienced a slight decline in total shipment volume, which decreased by 0.8% to 2.14 million barrels in the latest quarter, attributed primarily to decreased sales in the Truly Hard Seltzer and Samuel Adams brands. However, this was partially offset by growth in the Sun Cruiser and Dogfish Head brands. The average net revenue per barrel increased by 2.4% to $274.23, driven by higher pricing and a favorable product mix. Cost of goods sold per barrel decreased by 4.7% to $137.79, benefiting from improved brewery efficiencies and renegotiated contracts.

In terms of operational developments, the company has focused on enhancing its production capabilities, with approximately 76% of its domestic volume produced at company-owned facilities. The Boston Beer Company has also been actively managing its inventory levels, which stood at $134.4 million as of June 28, 2025, compared to $117.2 million at the end of the previous fiscal year. The company’s employee headcount remained stable, supporting its operational needs as it navigates market conditions.

Strategically, Boston Beer has continued to invest in its brand portfolio, increasing advertising and promotional expenses by 10.7% to $159.7 million in the latest quarter. This investment is aimed at bolstering brand visibility and market share, particularly in a competitive landscape. The company has also been proactive in managing its stock repurchase program, having repurchased approximately 418,673 shares for $99.1 million during the first half of the fiscal year, with a remaining authorization of $328 million under its $1.6 billion repurchase program.

Looking ahead, Boston Beer anticipates continued challenges from inflationary pressures and tariff impacts, estimating a potential unfavorable cost impact of $15 to $20 million for the full year 2025. However, the company remains optimistic about its operational efficiencies and brand strategies, expecting that its cash balance of $212.4 million, along with its unused credit facility of $150 million, will be sufficient to meet future cash requirements and support growth initiatives.
