How this was made
The 30-second read
Why it matters
The print highlights accelerating net sales (+22.5% YoY) and a sharp jump in Adjusted EBITDA (+66.3% YoY), alongside gross margin expansion and a shift to positive net income. The FY2026 guidance provides a concrete growth and profitability roadmap (net sales $367–$371M; Adjusted EBITDA $70–$72M).
Market read
Traders can update forward models using the explicit FY2026 ranges and assess whether Q1 margin expansion and EBITDA leverage are sustainable.
What to watch
SG&A as a % of sales rose (35.3% vs 41.3% prior year, but freight increased), and the company notes inability to reconcile forward Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income, leaving GAAP earnings visibility limited.
Background
Suja Life began trading on Nasdaq under SUJA on May 7, 2026 and completed its IPO on May 8, 2026; this is its first-quarter post-IPO financial update with an FY2026 outlook.

Counterpoint
Adjusted EBITDA outperformance may be sensitive to promotional intensity, freight costs, and shipment timing rather than durable underlying demand.
