Zevia Raises Sales Outlook After Investment
The beverage maker lifted its 2026 net sales forecast after GP Investments closed a $20 million equity investment.
Updated on Nov. 7, 2026 in Vegetarian
Zevia PBC raised its 2026 net sales outlook to $177 million to $179 million after reporting third-quarter net sales of $48.3 million, up 18.4% from a year earlier. GP Investments has also closed a $20 million equity investment in the company.
Why it matters
The higher outlook and new capital give the zero-sugar beverage company additional resources as it works through rising aluminum and fuel costs. The company's fourth-quarter guidance also reflects possible shifts in retailer shipment and inventory timing.
Zevia reported third-quarter net sales of $48.3 million, up 18.4% from a year earlier, with an adjusted EBITDA loss of $900,000. Its updated 2026 net sales outlook of $177 million to $179 million factors in higher aluminum and fuel costs.
