Net sales of our Strategic Brands segment were $143.7 million for the three-months ended June 30, 2026. Net sales of our Alcohol Brands segment were $32.2 million for the three-months ended June 30, 2026. Net sales of our Other segment were $5.4 million for the three-months ended June 30, 2026.

Our growth strategy includes further developing our domestic markets and expanding our international business. Net sales to customers outside the United States were $1.16 billion for the three-months ended June 30, 2026, an increase of approximately $298.9 million, or 34.6% higher than net sales to customers outside of the United States of $864.2 million for the three-months ended June 30, 2025. Such sales were approximately 46% and 41% of net sales for the three-months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Net changes in foreign currency exchange rates had a favorable impact on net sales to customers outside of the United States of approximately $48.5 million for the three-months ended June 30, 2026. Net sales to customers outside the United States, on a foreign currency adjusted basis, increased 29.0% for the three-months ended June 30, 2026.

Our non-alcohol customers are primarily full service beverage bottlers/distributors, retail grocery and specialty chains, wholesalers, club stores, mass merchandisers, convenience and gas chains, drug stores, foodservice customers, value stores, e-commerce retailers and the military.

Such information includes sales made by us directly to the customer types concerned, which include our full service beverage bottlers/distributors in the United States.
