NATIONAL BEVERAGE CORP

Recently commemorating its 40 th anniversary, National Beverage Corp. innovatively refreshes America with a distinctive portfolio of sparkling waters, juices, energy drinks and, to a lesser extent, carbonated soft drinks. We believe our creative product designs, innovative packaging and imaginative flavors, along with our corporate culture and philosophy, make National Beverage unique as a stand-alone entity in the beverage industry. Points of differentiation include the following: Healthy Transformation We focus on developing and delighting consumers with healthier beverages in response to the global shift in consumer buying habits and lifestyles. We believe our portfolio targets the preferences of a diverse mix of consumers including crossover consumers’ a growing group desiring healthier alternatives to artificially sweetened or high-calorie beverages. Creative Innovations Building on a rich tradition of flavor and brand innovation with more than a 135-year history of development with iconic brands such as Shasta and Faygo , we have extended our flavor and essence leadership and technical expertise to the sparkling water category. Unique flavors and our naturally-essenced beverages are developed and tested in-house and made commercially available after extensive concept and sensory evaluation. We believe our variety of distinctive flavors provides us with a competitive advantage with today’s consumers who demand variety and refreshing beverage alternatives.
