Note 1. Introduction

The Company

Beyond Meat, Inc., a Delaware corporation (including its subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company”), is a leading plant-based meat company offering a portfolio of revolutionary plant-based meats and other innovative plant-based food and beverage products. The Company seeks to deliver the power of plants to consumers through its plant-based meat products, an innovation that enables consumers to experience the taste, texture and other sensory attributes of popular animal-based meat products while enjoying the nutritional and environmental benefits of eating the Company’s plant-based meat products, and adjacent products that deliver taste and macronutrients from plants and plant-based ingredients. The Company’s brand promise, “Eat What You Love,” represents a strong belief that there is a better way to feed our future and that the positive choices we all make, no matter how small, can have a great impact on our personal health and the health of our planet. By shifting from animal-based meat to plant-based meat, we can positively impact four growing global issues: human health, climate change, constraints on natural resources and animal welfare.

The Company has the following subsidiaries:

Beyond Meat EU B.V., in the Netherlands

Beyond Meat (Jiaxing) Food Co., Ltd. (“BYND JX”), in the Zhejiang Province in China

Beyond Meat Canada Inc., in Canada.

On January 25, 2021, the Company entered into the Planet Partnership, LLC, a joint venture with PepsiCo, Inc., to develop, produce and market innovative snack and beverage products made from plant-based protein.

The Company’s primary production facilities are located in Columbia, Missouri, and Devault, Pennsylvania, and its research and development and administrative offices are located in El Segundo, California. The Company owns a manufacturing facility in Enschede, the Netherlands, where it produces its woven protein and dry blend flavor systems for shipment to local co-manufacturers, including one of the Company’s distributors who built a co-manufacturing facility in the Netherlands used for production of the Company’s finished goods. In addition to its own production facilities, the Company uses co-manufacturers in various locations in the United States, Canada, Germany and the Netherlands.

In Jiaxing, China, the Company leases a 38,000 square foot manufacturing facility. In Shanghai, China, the Company leased a facility for use as a local research and development facility. In connection with the cessation of operational activities in China and pursuant to an agreement with the landlord, BYND JX terminated the Shanghai lease early effective as of May 20, 2025.

In 2021, the Company entered into a lease agreement to house its corporate headquarters, lab and innovation space (the “Campus Headquarters”) in El Segundo, California. In 2022, upon completion of the tenant improvements associated with Phase 1-A, the Company moved its Innovation team from the Manhattan Beach Project Innovation Center to the Campus Headquarters. In June 2023, upon completion of the tenant improvements associated with Phase 1-B, the Company moved its headquarters, sales and marketing operations into the Campus Headquarters. In June 2023, the Company terminated the lease of its former headquarters, also in El Segundo, California.

The Company sells to a variety of customers in the retail and foodservice channels throughout the United States and internationally primarily through distributors who purchase, store, sell, and deliver the Company’s products. In addition, the Company sells directly to customers in the retail and foodservice channels who handle their own distribution. In the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company launched its Beyond Test Kitchen DTC platform, giving consumers early access to certain new plant-based protein products, generally for a limited time.

In 2023, the Company initiated a review of its global operations (the “Global Operations Review”), which involves narrowing the Company’s commercial focus to certain anticipated growth opportunities, and accelerating activities that prioritize gross margin expansion and cash generation. As part of this review, on November 1, 2023, the Company’s board of directors approved a plan to reduce the Company’s workforce by approximately 65 employees, representing approximately 19% of the Company’s global non-production workforce (or approximately 8% of the Company’s total global workforce).

On February 24, 2025, the Company’s board of directors approved a plan to reduce the Company’s workforce in North America and the EU by approximately 44 employees, representing approximately 17% of the Company’s global non-production workforce (or approximately 6% of the Company’s total global workforce).

In addition, as part of the Company’s Global Operations Review, on February 24, 2025, the Company’s board of directors approved a plan to suspend the Company’s operational activities in China, which ceased as of the end of 2025. As part of this plan, the Company reduced its workforce in China by approximately 20 employees, representing approximately 95% of the Company’s China workforce (or approximately 3% of the Company’s total global workforce).

On August 6, 2025, management of the Company approved a plan to reduce the Company’s workforce in North America by approximately 40 employees, representing approxim ately 5% of the Company’s total global workforce. In 2025, the Company recorded one-time cash charges of approximately $1.1 million in connection with this reduction in force, primarily consisting of severance payments, employee benefits and related costs, in all cases, provided to departing employees.

Loan and Security Agreement; Warrant Agreement

On May 7, 2025, the Company, as borrower, entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (as amended the “Loan and Security Agreement”) with Unprocessed Foods, LLC, an affiliate of the Ahimsa Foundation, as a lender (“Unprocessed Foods”), the other lenders party thereto from time to time (together with Unprocessed Foods, the “Lenders”), and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries party thereto from time to time, as guarantors (together with the Company, the “Loan Parties”), pursuant to which the Lenders agreed to provide for a senior secured delayed draw term loan facility (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility” and the loans thereunder, the “Delayed Draw Term Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million. Beyond Meat EU B.V., a subsidiary of the Company (“Beyond Meat BV”), has guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the Loan and Security Agreement. The Delayed Draw Term Loans are secured by a first-priority lien and security interest in substantially all of the assets, subject to certain exceptions, of the Company and Beyond Meat BV. On June 26, 2025 and September 18, 2025, at the Company’s request, Unprocessed Foods, as the sole Lender at such time, made Delayed Draw Term Loans to the Company in the principal amounts of $40.0 million (the “Initial Draw”) and $60.0 million (the “Second Draw”), respectively. The Company plans to use the proceeds from such Delayed Draw Term Loans for general corporate purposes. See Note 9.

On May 7, 2025, in connection with the entry into the Loan and Security Agreement, the Company and the Lenders entered into a warrant agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”) setting forth the rights and obligations of the Company and the Lenders as holders (in such capacity, the “Holders”) in connection with warrants (the “Warrants”) representing such Holders’ right to purchase up to, in the aggregate,9,558,635 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Maximum Warrant Share Amount”) at an initial exercise price of $3.26 per share calculated based on the terms of the Warrant Agreement. The Loan and Security Agreement provides that at each funding date of any Delayed Draw Term Loan, the Company would execute and deliver to the applicable Lenders Warrants representing the pro rata portion of the Maximum Warrant Share Amount based on the amount of Delayed Draw Term Loan provided by such Lender on the date thereof. See Note 9.

On June 26, 2025, in connection with the Initial Draw, the Company issued to Unprocessed Foods Warrants to purchase 3,823,454 shares of common stock with an initial exercise price of $3.26 per share, a fair value per share of $2.09 and an aggregate fair value of $8.0 million. See Note 2 and Note 9.

As of June 28, 2025, the Company concluded it was reasonably certain to draw the remaining $60.0 million available under the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility before December 31, 2025, and therefore reasonably certain that it would issue to the Lenders Warrants to purchase the remaining 5,735,181 unissued shares of common stock pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement. The fair value of the contingently issuable Warrants measured as of June 28, 2025 was $12.1 million. The Company recorded $20.1 million in liability for the total fair value of the issued and contingently issuable Warrants in Delayed draw term loan warrants in its consolidated balance sheet at June 28, 2025. See Note 2 and Note 9.

On September 18, 2025, the Company drew the remaining $60.0 million available under the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility. In connection with the Second Draw, the Company issued to Unprocessed Foods Warrants to purchase 5,735,181 shares of common stock with an initial exercise price of $3.26 per share, that were previously accounted for as contingently issuable Warrants. See Note 2 and Note 9.

In connection with the Exchange Offer (as defined below), on October 15, 2025, the Company entered into a First Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of October 15, 2025 (the “First Amendment to LSA”) with Unprocessed Foods, and an Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of October 15, 2025 (as amended, the “Intercreditor Agreement”), among Unprocessed Foods, Wilmington Trust, National Association and the Company.

Partial Lease Termination and Sublease

On May 9, 2025, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to Lease (the “Second Amendment”) with HC Hornet Way, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Landlord”), amending that certain Lease dated January 14, 2021 (the “Original Lease” and as amended from time to time, the “Campus Lease”). The Second Amendment provided for, among other things, the surrender by the Company to the Landlord of approximately 61,556 rentable square feet of the existing premises (the “Surrendered Premises”), a release of all claims arising out of, or based upon, any act, matter, or thing regarding the Surrendered Premises, and the continued leasing of approximately 220,519 rentable square feet of the existing premises. See Note 5.

Effective as of July 22, 2025, the Company entered into a Sublease Agreement (the “Varda Sublease”) with Varda Space Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Subtenant”), pursuant to which the Company subleased to the Subtenant approximately 54,749 rentable square feet of the existing premises at the Campus Headquarters. On October 7, 2025, the Company entered into a letter agreement with the Landlord and the Subtenant, pursuant to which, among other things, the Landlord provided its consent to the Varda Sublease. See Note 5.

Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation

On September 29, 2025, the Company commenced an exchange offer (the “Exchange Offer”) to exchange any and all of its 0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”) issued pursuant to the indenture governing such notes dated as of March 5, 2021 (the “2027 Notes Indenture”), for a pro rata portion of (i) up to $202.5 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.00% Convertible Senior Secured Second Lien PIK Toggle Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Notes”) and (ii) up to 326,190,370 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “New Shares”). Simultaneously with the Exchange Offer, the Company solicited consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) from holders of the 2027 Notes to adopt certain proposed amendments (the “Proposed Amendments”) to the 2027 Notes Indenture. See Note 9.

On October 15, 2025 (the “Early Settlement Date”), the Company completed the early settlement of the exchange of the 2027 Notes that were validly tendered on or before the early tender deadline of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 10, 2025 (the “Early Tender Date”) in the Exchange Offer. Pursuant to the early settlement of the Exchange Offer, $1,114,603,000 in aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes were validly tendered, accepted for exchange by the Company and subsequently canceled (collectively, the “Early Tendered Notes”). On the Early Settlement Date, the Company issued (i) $208,717,000 in aggregate principal amount of 2030 Notes (inclusive of $12.5 million in aggregate principal amount of 2030 Notes as payment to certain holders of 2027 Notes that had entered into a transaction support agreement with the Company relating to the Exchange Offer (the “SteerCo Premium”)) and (ii)316,150,176 New Shares, in exchange for the Early Tendered Notes. The Company also completed the Consent Solicitation and entered into a supplemental indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”) to the 2027 Notes Indenture with U.S. Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “2027 Notes Trustee”). See Note 9.

On October 30, 2025 (the “Final Settlement Date”), the Company completed the final settlement of the exchange of the 2027 Notes that were validly tendered in the Exchange Offer and not validly withdrawn following the Early Tender Date. Pursuant to the final settlement of the Exchange Offer, an additional $5,938,000 in aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes were validly tendered, accepted for exchange by the Company and subsequently canceled (collectively, the “Additional Tendered Notes”). In connection with the final settlement of the Exchange Offer, on the Final Settlement Date, the Company issued (i) $1,004,000 in aggregate principal amount of 2030 Notes and (ii)1,684,270 New Shares, in exchange for the Additional Tendered Notes. See Note 9.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Reclassification of Prior Period Presentation

Certain prior period amounts in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations have been reclassified to be consistent with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

Fiscal Year

The Company operates on a fiscal calendar year, and each interim quarter is comprised of one 5-week period and two 4-week periods, with each week ending on a Saturday. The Company’s fiscal year always begins on January 1 and ends on December 31. As a result, the Company’s first and fourth fiscal quarters may have more or fewer days included than a traditional 91-day fiscal quarter.

The Company hasone operating segment andone reportable segment, in the plant-based meat industry, offering a portfolio of revolutionary plant-based meat. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), who is its Chief Executive Officer and President, reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire company. The Company derives revenue primarily in North America and Europe and manages the business activities on a consolidated basis. The Company’s CODM allocates resources and assesses performance at the consolidated level. See Note 16.

Management’s Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant accounting estimates made by the Company include trade promotion and discount accruals; useful lives of property, plant and equipment; valuation of long-lived assets including assets held for sale; valuation of deferred tax assets; valuation of inventory and related provision; incremental borrowing rate used to determine lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities; assessment of contract-based factors, asset-based factors, entity-based factors and market-based factors to determine the lease term impacting right-of-use assets and lease liabilities; the valuation of the fair value of stock options and performance stock units (“PSUs”) used to determine share-based compensation expense; the valuation and remeasurement of the fair value of warrant liability; the valuation and remeasurement of the fair value of embedded derivatives; and liabilities and loss contingency accruals in connection with claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical experience and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences may be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive loss includes unrealized gains (losses) on the Company’s foreign currency translation adjustments for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023. Income taxes on the unrealized losses arezero.

2027 Notes

On March 5, 2021, the Company issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of its 0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. On March 12, 2021, the initial purchasers of the 2027 Convertible Notes exercised their option to purchase an additional $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027, and such Additional Notes were issued on March 16, 2021. The Company accounted for the 2027 Notes under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-06, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” (ASU 2020-06”), which the Company early adopted in the first quarter of 2021 concurrently with the issuance of the 2027 Notes. The Company recorded the 2027 Notes in Long-term liabilities at face value net of issuance costs. If any of the conditions to the convertibility of the 2027 Notes is satisfied, or the 2027 Notes become due within one year, then the Company may be required under applicable accounting standards to reclassify the liability carrying value of the 2027 Notes as a current, rather than a long-term, liability. In October 2025, the Company completed an exchange offer which resulted in the modification of the 2027 Notes as discussed below. See Note 9.

2027 Notes Embedded Derivative

Concurrently with the Exchange Offer, the Company irrevocably elected to settle any future conversions of the remaining 2027 Notes in cash and, therefore, the 2027 Notes are no longer considered convertible into shares. This change in election to settle any future conversions in cash resulted in the conversion option being accounted for as an embedded derivative in accordance with ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”), and any subsequent changes in the fair value of the derivative being marked to market through the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the embedded derivative in the 2027 Notes was determined to be immaterial and, accordingly, not recorded at both the Exchange Offer issuance date and as of December 31, 2025.

2030 Notes

On September 29, 2025, the Company commenced the exchange offer to exchange any and all of its 2027 Notes issued pursuant to the 2027 Notes Indenture, for a pro rata portion of (i) up to $202.5 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Notes and (ii) up to 326,190,370 New Shares. Following the Final Settlement Date, a total of (i) $209,721,000 in aggregate principal amount of 2030 Notes (inclusive of $12.5 million in aggregate principal amount of 2030 Notes as payment of the SteerCo Premium) and (ii)317,834,446 New Shares were issued by the Company in connection with the Exchange Offer. The Company accounts for the 2030 Notes under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 470, “Debt.” See Note 9.

2030 Notes Embedded Derivative

The Company evaluates the contracts for its convertible debt and warrants to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with ASC 815. In circumstances where there are several embedded derivative instruments in a contract that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, combined derivative instrument, recorded at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at inception and marked to market at each reporting period thereafter. The 2030 Notes contain certain embedded derivatives that require bifurcation and separate accounting from the debt host pursuant to ASC 815, including separate valuations of fair value for those derivatives both at the issuance date and at the end of subsequent reporting periods thereafter until the derivatives expire, are canceled or the debt is no longer outstanding. The Company accounted for the bifurcated derivative instruments as a single, combined derivative instrument (the “2030 Notes Embedded Derivative”). Fair value was determined using, among other factors, a binomial lattice valuation model in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement.” The issuance date fair value of the 2030 Notes Embedded Derivative is recorded as a debt discount and amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2030 Notes, while the changes to the fair value of the 2030 Notes Embedded Derivative after the issuance date are marked to market each reporting period and recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in Other income (expense), net. See Note 3 and Note 9.

Troubled Debt Restructuring

The Exchange Offer qualified as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) under ASC 470-60, “Debt —Troubled Debt Restructurings by Debtors.” The Company concluded that it was experiencing financial difficulties and a majority of the holders of the 2027 Notes had granted a concession in significantly reducing the Company’s debt by tendering 97.44% of the 2027 Notes in exchange for a combination of 2030 Notes and New Shares. The exchange of the 2027 Notes for the 2030 Notes and New Shares was accounted for as a combination TDR that includes both a partial settlement and a modification of the remaining debt terms as follows: (1) in each tranche, the fair value of the common stock issued at the settlement date was recorded as a reduction to the carrying amount of the corresponding portion of the extinguished 2027 Notes; (2) after the reductions for the common stock issued, the Company determined that in both tranches, the total undiscounted future cash flows of the 2030 Notes, including any amounts contingently payable after the restructuring, was less than the remaining carrying value of the original debt, and accordingly, the Company reduced the carrying amount of the 2030 Notes to equal the total future undiscounted cash flows specified by the new terms of the 2030 Notes Indenture and recognized a gain on debt restructuring equal to the amount of that reduction, offset by debt issuance costs. Consistent with ASC 470-60-35-6, the effective interest rate of the 2030 Notes was reset to zero, and all subsequent cash payments (including amounts designated as interest) will be accounted for as reductions of the 2030 Notes’ carrying amount. Except for the amortization of the issuance date fair value of the 2030 Notes Embedded Derivative, no further interest expense will be recognized for the 2030 Notes over their remaining term. The Company recorded a gain on debt restructuring, net of exchange fees, of $548.7 million, included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025. See Note 9.

Gain on Debt Restructuring

Gain on debt restructuring, net of exchange fees, of $548.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, represents the gain resulting from the Exchange Offer, which qualified as a troubled debt restructuring under ASC 470-60. Since the total undiscounted cash flows of the 2030 Notes, including any amounts contingently payable after the restructuring, plus the fair value of the New Shares issued in connection with the Exchange Offer, was less than the carrying amount of the exchanged 2027 Notes, the carrying value of the 2030 Notes was determined to be equal to the value of the total undiscounted cash flows, including any amounts contingently payable after the restructuring. The gain on debt restructuring was calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the exchanged 2027 Notes and the carrying amount of the 2030 Notes, net of exchange fees. See Note 9.

Issuance Costs

Issuance costs related to the 2027 Notes were capitalized and offset against proceeds from the 2027 Notes. Issuance costs consisted of financial advisor fees, legal expenses and other costs related to the issuance of the 2027 Notes and were being amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2027 Notes prior to the Exchange Offer. Concurrently with the closing of the Exchange Offer described above, the unamortized issuance costs of the 2027 Notes as of the date of the final settlement of the Exchange Offer, were written off and were used to reduce the gain on debt restructuring, net of exchange fees. See Note 9.

Pursuant to ASC 470-60, direct costs of issuing equity related to the Exchange Offer were used to reduce the initial carrying amount of the equity interest issued. Other costs involving the Exchange Offer were used to reduce the gain on debt restructuring or recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of consolidated operations. See Note 9.

Issuance costs related to the ATM Program, primarily fees paid to the sales agent, were capitalized to reflect the costs associated with the issuance of new shares of common stock and offset against proceeds from the ATM Program. See Note 10.

Issuance costs related to Initial Draw and Second Draw of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility were recorded in debt discount and are being amortized to interest expense over the terms of the First Draw and Second Draw, respectively, using the effective interest rate method. Pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement accrued and unpaid interest expense from the Delayed Draw Term Loans compounded quarterly is paid-in-kind (“PIK”) interest which is added to the principal amount of Delayed draw term loans, net in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. See Note 9.

Stock Warrant Liability

The Company accounts for freestanding warrants to purchase shares of its common stock as a liability. The Warrants contain certain settlement and holder participation provisions that preclude the Warrants from being classified as equity instruments and therefore, the Company accounts for the Warrants as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815 with changes in the fair value of the Warrants recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The warrants to purchase shares of common stock are recorded at fair value upon issuance and are subject to remeasurement upon adjustments to the exercise price and at each balance sheet date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations in Other income (expense), net. See Note 9.

Foreign Currency

The Company’s foreign entities use their local currency as the functional currency. For these entities, the Company translates net assets into U.S. dollars at period end exchange rates, while revenue and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the periods being reported. Resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are included in Accumulated other comprehensive income and foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in Other, net. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses on long-term intra-entity transactions are recorded as a component of Other comprehensive loss. Foreign currency transactions denominated in a currency other than the reporting entity’s functional currency, including long-term intra-entity balances, may give rise to foreign currency transaction gains and losses that impact the Company’s results of operations.

Foreign currency translation (losses) gains, net of tax, reported as cumulative translation adjustment through Other comprehensive income (loss), net, were $(4.2) million, $1.6 million and $(0.4) million in the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Net realized and unrealized foreign currency transaction gains (losses) included in Other, net were $11.8 million, $(6.3) million and $1.1 million in the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value measurement accounting guidance creates a fair value hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used to measure fair value into three categories. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement, where Level 1 is the highest and Level 3 is the lowest.

The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets accessible by the reporting entity for identical assets or liabilities. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations in which significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3—Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which significant value drivers are unobservable.

The Company’s financial instruments include cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, for which the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The Company’s 2027 Notes are carried at face value and the Company’s 2030 Notes are carried at total undiscounted cash flows of the 2030 Notes, including any amounts contingently payable after the restructuring, net of debt discount. The Company’s Warrant liability and 2030 Notes Embedded Derivative liability are remeasured at the end of each reporting period, and at the time of certain events that require remeasurement of each of their values, using the Black-Scholes model and the binomial lattice valuation model, respectively. See Note 3 and Note 9.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company maintains cash balances attwo financial institutions in the United States. The cash balances may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. Accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or FDIC up to $250,000. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents included approximately 84% in money market accounts and approximately 16% in demand deposits as of December 31, 2025.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes cash held as collateral for stand-alone letter of credit agreements related to normal business transactions. The agreements require the Company to maintain specified amounts of cash as collateral in segregated accounts to support the letters of credit issued thereunder. The Company had $13.6 million in restricted cash as of December 31, 2025, which was comprised of $12.6 million to secure the letter of credit delivered to the Company’s landlord as security for the performance of the Company’s obligations under its Campus Lease, and $1.0 million to secure the letter of credit associated with a third party contract manufacturer in Europe. As of December 31, 2025, Restricted cash, current of $4.4 million was associated with the Campus Lease. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, $9.3 million and $12.6 million, respectively, of the restricted cash was included in Restricted cash, non-current, in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. In 2025, in connection with the Varda Sublease, the Company and the Landlord entered into the Fourth Amendment to Lease whereby the parties agreed to amend the schedule for reduction of the Company’s letter of credit to: (i) $8.25 million on November 9, 2026; (ii) $6.25 million on November 9, 2027; and (iii) $3.125 million on November 9, 2028; provided the Company is not then in default of its obligations under the

Campus Lease (see Note 5). As of December 31, 2024, the letter of credit associated with the third party contract manufacturer was $1.0 million, which was included in Restricted cash, current.

Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company entered into a new sales agreement with Roquette for the supply of pea protein which requires the Company to procure a $1.0 million standby letter of credit to secure its payment obligations thereunder. See Note 17.

Accounts Receivable

The Company records accounts receivable at net realizable value. This value includes an appropriate allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts to reflect any anticipated losses on the accounts receivable balances and recorded in allowance for credit losses. Provision for credit losses is calculated based on the Company’s history of write-offs, level of past due accounts, and relationships with and economic status of the Company’s distributors or customers.

The Company had $0.2 million and $1.6 million allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Inventories and Cost of Goods Sold

Inventories are recorded at lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company accounts for inventory using the weighted average cost method. In addition to product cost, inventory costs include expenditures such as direct labor and certain supply and overhead expenses including in-bound shipping and handling costs incurred in bringing the inventory to its existing condition and location. Inventories are comprised primarily of raw materials, direct labor and overhead costs. Weighted average cost method is used to absorb raw materials, direct labor, and overhead into inventory. The Company reviews inventory quantities on hand and records an estimated provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on historical and forecasted demand, estimated shelf life of various raw materials and packaging, work in process and finished goods inventory, as well as the age of the inventory, among other factors. The determination of the provision to be recorded for excess and obsolete raw materials and work in process inventory requires management to evaluate the historical demand and remaining shelf life for existing raw materials and work in process inventory quantities on hand compared to estimates of future demand for the Company’s products, which involves significant assumptions. The Company performs both quantitative and qualitative assessments of its inventory on hand to estimate the potential value of inventory that may not provide future economic value to the Company for various reasons. These reasons include, among other things, obsolescence due to changes in product formulations, packaging formats or strategic decisions to exit certain product lines; expiration of certain inventories due to under-consumption relative to purchased quantities; damaged, lost or contaminated inventories; and excess quantities of certain inventories relative to actual demand or forecasts, or as a result of significant changes in demand for the Company’s products. Upon estimating the value of such inventory amounts, the Company records a provision to reduce the carrying value of inventory on its balance sheet by such amount with a corresponding increase in cost of goods sold. An inventory provision is recorded each period based on the factors noted above with corresponding write-downs of inventory and increases in cost of goods sold.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

LandNot amortized
Buildings30 years
Leasehold improvementsShorter of lease term or estimated useful life
Furniture and fixtures3 years
Manufacturing equipment(1)5 to 10 years
Research and development equipment(1)5 to 10 years
Software and computer equipment3 years
Vehicles5 years

(1) Beginning in the first quarter of 2023, the Company reassessed the estimated useful lives for certain of its large equipment with value over $25,000 from a range of 5 to 10 years to a uniform 10 years. Equipment up to $25,000 in value continue to be estimated to have a useful life of 5 years.

Leasehold improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the asset or the remaining lease term. When assets are sold or retired, the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective account balances. Any gain or loss from sale of the asset is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Any loss on accelerated depreciation on planned write-off and disposal of the asset is included in either cost of goods sold, research and development expenses, or selling, general and administrative expenses, depending on the nature of the asset. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged directly to expense when incurred. See Note 7.

Change in Accounting Estimate

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company completed a reassessment of the useful lives of its large manufacturing equipment and research and development equipment, and determined that the Company should increase the estimated useful lives for certain of its equipment from a range of 5 to 10 years to a uniform 10 years. This reassessment was accounted for as a change in accounting estimate and was made on a prospective basis effective January 1, 2023. See Note 7.

Assets Held For Sale

The Company classifies long-lived assets determined to be sold as held for sale in the period in which all specified GAAP criteria are met. The Company initially measures assets classified as held for sale at estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell. Any loss resulting from this measurement is recognized in the period in which the held for sale criteria are met and are recorded in Loss on write-down of assets held for sale in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, if applicable. The estimated fair values are typically based on appraisals or offers from prospective buyers, including estimated auction values where applicable, less estimated costs to sell. Assets classified as held for sale are no longer depreciated as of that date. The inputs to the valuation techniques used in estimating the fair value of the assets held for sale was primarily Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $9.4 million and $1.9 million, respectively, in Assets held for sale in its consolidated balance sheet. The Company expects these assets held for sale will be sold within one year.

Long-lived assets including, but not limited to, property, plant and equipment, lease right-of-use assets, and prepaid lease costs, are reviewed by management for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be fully recoverable. When events or circumstances indicate that impairment may be present, management evaluates the probability that future undiscounted net cash flows expected from the use of the asset plus the residual value from the ultimate disposal may be less than the carrying value of the asset. If the estimated recoverable amount is less than the carrying value of the asset, then such assets are written down to their estimated fair values and an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying value of the assets and their estimated fair values. During the quarter ended September 27, 2025, the Company identified certain indicators of impairment to the long-lived assets, and as a result tested those asset groups for impairment, which resulted in an impairment loss of $51.3 million that was recorded in its consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025. The inputs to the valuation techniques used in estimating the fair value of the asset groups tested for impairment were primarily Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. No long-lived assets were impaired during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. See Note 8.

Income Taxes

The Company is subject to federal and state income taxes. The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in the authoritative guidance for accounting for income taxes. Under this method, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the respective carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is established against the portion of deferred tax assets that the Company believes will not be realized on a more likely than not basis.

With respect to uncertain tax positions, the Company recognizes in its financial statements those tax positions determined to be more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the positions. The Company’s policy is to recognize, when applicable, interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as part of income tax expense. See Note 13.

Leases

Leases are classified as either finance leases or operating leases based on criteria in ASC 842, “Leases.”

The Company has finance leases for its Campus Headquarters, a warehousing facility in the Netherlands and for certain equipment used for research and development and operations. An asset and a corresponding liability for finance lease obligations are established for the cost of a finance lease. Finance lease assets are included in Property, plant and equipment, net in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Operating leases include lease arrangements for the Company’s corporate offices (other than the Campus Headquarters), manufacturing facilities, warehouses, vehicles and, to a lesser extent, certain equipment. Operating leases with a term greater than one year are recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities at the commencement date. Operating lease assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and operating lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Such leases generally have original lease terms between 2 years and 16 years, and often include one or more options to extend. Some leases also include early termination options, which can be exercised under specific conditions. The Company includes options to extend the lease term if the options are reasonably certain of being exercised. The Company does not have residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants associated with its leases.

The Company records these balances initially at the present value of future minimum lease payments calculated using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate and expected lease term. The Company estimates the incremental borrowing rate for each lease based on prevailing market rates for collateralized debt in a similar economic environment with similar payment terms and maturity dates commensurate with the terms of the lease. Certain adjustments to the lease right-of-use assets may be required for items such as initial direct costs paid or incentives received. Certain leases contain variable payments, which are expensed as incurred and not included in the Company’s lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. These amounts primarily include payments for maintenance, utilities, taxes and insurance on the Company’s corporate, research and development, and manufacturing facilities and warehouse leases and are excluded from the present value of the Company’s lease obligations. Some leases also include early termination options, that can be exercised under specific conditions. The Company includes options to extend the lease term if the options are reasonably certain of being exercised. The Company does not have residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants associated with its leases. Upon adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, the Company elected to combine lease and non-lease components on all new or modified leases into a single lease component, for all classes of assets, which the Company recognizes over the expected term on a straight-line expense basis. The Company elected to separate the lease and non-lease components on all new or modified operating leases for the co-manufacturing class of assets for the purpose of recording operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities. See Note 5.

When the Company purchases property that it was previously leasing under an operating lease, the Company de-recognizes the right-of-use asset and lease liability and recognizes the difference between the purchase price and the carrying amount of the lease liability immediately before the purchase as an adjustment to the carrying value of the asset. The Company allocates the purchase price to the assets acquired based upon their relative values.

Under ASC 842, a partial lease termination is accounted for as a lease modification that requires a reassessment of the lease classification for the remaining lease components based on the facts and circumstances at the effective date of the modification. When the Company enters into a lease termination, the termination penalty and the revised lease consideration from the amended lease payment schedule are allocated to the remaining lease components on the effective date of the termination. If the modification causes the remaining lease to meet any of the finance lease criteria, it would be reclassified from an operating lease to a finance lease for the remaining term. If the reassessment results in a change from an operating lease to a finance lease, the subsequent accounting for the remaining lease components will follow the finance lease model. This would involve separating the lease expense into interest expense and amortization expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and reflecting principal payments as financing activities in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows. In connection with the partial lease termination of the Campus Headquarters, the Company concluded that the classification of the remaining portion of the Campus Lease had changed from an operating lease to a finance lease. See Note 5.

Effective as of July 22, 2025, the Company entered into the Varda Sublease with the Subtenant, pursuant to which the Company subleased to the Subtenant approximately 54,749 rentable square feet of the Subleased Premises (see Note 5). Sublease income is recognized on a straight-line basis and included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations as a credit to Research and development expenses. Total sublease income was $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. There was no sublease income related to the Campus Lease in the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Contingencies

The Company is subject to a range of claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for loss contingencies and records the expense in operating expenses when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated, in accordance with the recognition criteria of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 450, “Contingencies.” Estimating liabilities and costs associated with these matters require significant judgment based upon the professional knowledge and experience of management and its legal counsel. See Note 12.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when its contractual performance obligations with customers are satisfied and collectability is reasonably assured. The majority of the Company’s contracts with customers generally consist of a single performance obligation to transfer promised goods.

The Company’s revenues are generated through sales of its products to distributors or customers. Revenue is recognized at the point in which the performance obligation under the terms of a contract with the customer has been satisfied and control has transferred. The Company’s performance obligation is typically defined as the accepted purchase order, the direct-to-consumer order, or the contract with the customer which requires the Company to deliver the requested products at agreed upon prices at the time and location of the customer’s choice. The Company generally does not offer warranties or a right to return on the products it sells except in the instance of a product recall or other limited circumstances.

Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for fulfilling the performance obligation. Sales and other taxes the Company collects concurrently with the sale of products are excluded from revenue. The Company's normal payment terms vary by the type and location of its customers and the products offered. The time between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. None of the Company's customer contracts as of December 31, 2025 contained a significant financing component.

The Company routinely offers sales discounts and promotions through various programs to its customers and consumers. These programs include rebates, temporary on-shelf price reductions, off-invoice discounts, retailer advertisements, product coupons and other trade activities. Provision for discounts and incentives are recorded in the same period in which the related revenues are recognized. At the end of each accounting period, the Company recognizes a contra asset to accounts receivable for estimated sales discounts that have been incurred but not paid which totaled $6.2 million and $6.8 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The offsetting charge is recorded as a reduction of revenues in the same period when the expense is incurred.

The Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. The incremental cost to obtain contracts was not material.

Presentation of Net Revenues by Channel

The Company’s revenues are attributed to the country where the products are delivered. The following table presents the Company’s net revenues by channel:

Year Ended December 31,
202520242023
(in thousands)
U.S.:
Retail$124,478$150,812$155,240
Foodservice38,96347,58450,647
U.S. net revenues163,441198,396205,887
International:
Retail53,16659,78361,723
Foodservice58,88968,27375,766
International net revenues112,055128,056137,489
Net revenues$275,496$326,452$343,376

One distributor accounted for approximately 13%,12% and 12% of the Company’s gross revenues in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. No other distributor or customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s gross revenues in 2025, 2024 or 2023.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) represents net income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS represents net income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, inclusive of the dilutive impact of potential common shares outstanding during the period. Such potential common shares may include options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), PSUs, and warrants and convertible notes considered to be participating securities as the warrant holders and convertible debt holders are entitled to participate in dividends to common stockholders.

The Company calculates basic and diluted EPS available to common stockholders in conformity with the two-class method required for companies with participating securities. Pursuant to ASU 2020-06, the Company applies the more dilutive of the if-converted method and the two-class method to its Notes. Under the two-class method for basic EPS, net income available to common stockholders was determined after allocating income to the warrant holders and the convertible debt holders. See Note 14.

Prepaid Expenses

Prepaid expenses primarily include prepaid insurance and other prepaid vendor costs, which are expensed in the period to which they relate. Prepaid expenses are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and were $4.1 million and $7.8 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. In the second quarter of 2025, the Company prepaid certain executives of the Company $4.5 million in non-routine cash payments for retention bonuses pursuant to the Executive Incentive Bonus Plan. Each award is subject to repayment in the event the recipient resigns or is terminated under certain circumstances for a specified period of either one or two years. Accordingly, the Company is amortizing this prepaid balance as compensation expense over the term of the agreements.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company amortized $2.2 million included in SG&A expenses, defined below, related to these retention bonuses. As of December 31, 2025, approximately $1.9 million was included in Prepaid expenses and $0.3 million was included in Other non-current assets, net, in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

Investment in Joint Venture

The Company uses the equity method of accounting to record transactions associated with its joint venture when the Company shares in joint control of the investee. Investment in joint venture is not consolidated but is recorded in Investment in unconsolidated joint venture in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company recognizes its portion of the investee’s results in Equity in losses of unconsolidated joint venture in its consolidated statements of operations. The Company eliminates its proportionate interest in any intra-entity profits or losses in the inventory of the investee at the end of the reporting period and recognizes its portion of the profit and losses when realized by the investee.

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expenses

SG&A expenses are primarily comprised of selling, marketing and administrative expenses, including personnel and related expenses, share-based compensation, outbound shipping and handling costs, non-manufacturing lease expense, depreciation and amortization expense on non-manufacturing and non-research and development assets, charges related to asset write-offs including loss on write-down of assets held for sale, consulting fees and other non-production operating expenses. Marketing and selling expenses include advertising costs, share-based compensation awards to non-employee consultants and brand ambassadors, costs associated with consumer promotions, product donations, product samples and sales aids incurred to acquire new customers, retain existing customers and build brand awareness. Marketing and selling expenses also include payments to customers for which the customer provides a distinct good or service to the Company. Administrative expenses include expenses related to management, accounting, legal, IT and other office functions, including accruals for legal matters when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and estimable. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs in 2025, 2024 and 2023 were $6.1 million, $8.5 million and $17.2 million, respectively. Non-advertising related components of the Company’s total marketing expenditures primarily include costs associated with consumer promotions, product sampling and sales aids, which are also included in SG&A.

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company does not bill its distributors or customers shipping and handling fees. The Company’s products are predominantly shipped to its distributors or customers as “FOB Destination,” with control of the products transferred to the customer at the destination or at the warehouse pick-up location of the products as designated by the customer. In-bound shipping and handling costs incurred in manufacturing a product are included in inventory and reflected in cost of goods sold when the sale of that product is recognized. Outbound shipping and handling costs, including sales via the direct-to-consumer channel, are considered as fulfillment costs and are recorded in SG&A expenses. Outbound shipping and handling costs included in SG&A expenses in 2025, 2024 and 2023 were $5.3 million, $7.3 million and $10.7 million, respectively.

Research and development expenses, which includes enhancements to existing products and production processes and new product development, are expensed in the period incurred. Research and development expenses primarily consist of personnel and related expenses for the Company’s research and development staff, including salaries, benefits, bonuses, share-based compensation, scale-up expenses and depreciation and amortization expense on research and development assets, and facility lease costs. Research and development expenses in 2025, 2024 and 2023 were $23.2 million, $28.1 million and $39.5 million, respectively.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company measures all share-based compensation cost at the grant date, based on the fair values of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest, and recognizes that cost as an expense in its consolidated statements of operations over the requisite service period. The Company estimates the fair value of option awards using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, which requires management to make certain assumptions for estimating the fair value of stock options at the date of grant including the fair value and projected volatility of the underlying common stock and the expected term of the award. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. Because the Company’s stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates, in management’s opinion, the existing models may not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock options. Although the fair value of stock options is determined using an option valuation model, that value may not be indicative of the fair value observed in a willing buyer/willing seller market transaction.

The Company recognizes the closing price of the Company’s stock on the grant date as the fair value of RSUs.

Certain equity awards granted by the Company are subject to acceleration of vesting. In the event of an acceleration of vesting, the Company applies modification accounting pursuant to ASC 718. The acceleration of vesting of the unvested RSUs granted to non-employee directors in the fourth quarter of 2025 pursuant to their award agreements on the Early Settlement date of the Exchange Offer was determined to be a Type I modification. The Company recognized the entire balance of the unamortized share-based compensation expense related to such RSU awards in its consolidated financial statements. See Note 11.

The Company estimates the expected impact of forfeited awards and recognizes share-based compensation cost only for those awards ultimately expected to vest. If actual forfeiture rates differ materially from the Company’s estimates, share-based compensation expense could differ significantly from the amounts the Company has recorded in the current period. The Company periodically reviews actual forfeiture experience and revises its estimates, as necessary. The Company recognizes as compensation cost the cumulative effect of the change in estimated forfeiture rates on current and prior periods in earnings of the period of revision. As a result, if the Company revises its assumptions and estimates, the Company’s share-based compensation expense could change materially in the future. See Note 11.

The Company estimates the fair value of PSUs granted in 2024 using the Monte Carlo valuation model. The market-based performance condition used for these awards is based upon the total shareholder return (“TSR”) of Beyond Meat versus the TSR of a peer group over performance periods which is considered to be a market condition under ASC 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation.” The effect of the market condition is considered in determining the award’s grant date fair value, which is not subsequently revised based on actual performance for stock settled awards. The expense is therefore fixed at the time of grant in relation to this feature. The expense may only be adjusted for any service-related forfeitures.

Retirement Savings Plan

The Company offers a 401(k) retirement savings plan (“401-K Plan”) for the benefit of eligible employees. Under terms of this plan, eligible employees are able to make contributions of their wages on a tax-deferred basis. The Company incurred $1.8 million, $2.0 million and $2.1 million in matching contribution to the 401-K Plan in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Restructuring Plan

The Company accounts for exit or disposal activities in accordance with ASC 420, “Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations.” The Company defines a business restructuring as an exit or disposal activity that includes but is not limited to a program which is planned and controlled by management and materially changes either the scope of a business or the manner in which that business is conducted. Business restructuring charges may include (i) contract termination costs and (ii) other related costs associated with exit or disposal activities.

Contract termination costs include costs to terminate a contract or costs that will continue to be incurred under the contract without benefit to the Company. A liability is recognized and measured at its fair value when the Company either terminates the contract or ceases using the rights conveyed by the contract. See Note 4.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements—Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative” (“ASU 2023-06”), which provides amendments to the Codification in response to the 2018 SEC release No. 33-10532, “Disclosure Update and Simplification.” The amendments modify the disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of Topics in the Codification and apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected Topics. ASU 2023-06 is effective for companies that are subject to the SEC’s existing disclosure requirements and for entities required to file or furnish financial statements with or to the SEC in preparation for the sale of or purpose of issuing securities on the date which the SEC removes the related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K. Early adoption is prohibited. For all other entities, the amendments are effective two years later. If the SEC has not removed the applicable disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K by June 30, 2027, the pending content related to ASU 2023-06 will not become effective for any entity and will be removed from the codification. Adoption of ASU 2023-06 is expected to modify the disclosure and presentation requirements only and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”) in order to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date” (“ASU 2025-01”) to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03.

The amendments in ASU 2024-03 require disclosure, in the notes to the financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses in interim and year-end reporting periods. Specifically, entities will be required to:

  1. Disclose the amounts of (a) purchase of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil- and gas-producing activities included in each expense caption presented on the face of the statement of operations within continuing operations that includes items (a)-(e).

  2. Include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current GAAP in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements.

  3. Disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively.

  4. Disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses.

The amendments in ASU 2024-03 apply to all public business entities and are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments are to be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date or (2) retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Adoption of ASU 2024-03 is expected to modify the disclosure and presentation requirements only and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, “—Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments” (“ASU 2024-04”) to improve the relevance and consistency in the application of induced conversion guidance in Subtopic 470-20, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options.” The amendments in ASU 2024-04 clarify the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion.

The amendments in ASU 2024-04 affect entities that settle convertible debt instruments for which the conversion privileges were changed to induce conversion. The amendments in ASU 2024-04 are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities that have adopted the amendments in ASU 2020-06. The amendments in ASU 2024-04 permit an entity to apply the new guidance on either a prospective or a retrospective basis. The amendments in ASU 2024-04 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On July 30, 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, “Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets,” which amends ASC 326-20 “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses: Measured at Amortized Cost,” to provide a practical expedient (for all entities) related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under ASC 606, “Revenue From Contracts With Customers.” The amendments in the ASU provide that in developing reasonable and supportable forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses, all entities may elect a practical expedient that assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. Under ASU 2025-05, an entity is required to disclose whether it has elected to use the practical expedient. ASU 2025-05 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15,

2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in ASU 2025-05 permit an entity to apply the new guidance on a prospective basis. The amendments in ASU 2025-05 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On December 8, 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, “Interim Reporting (Topic 270),” which is intended to improve the navigability of the guidance in ASC 270, “Disclosure Requirements” (“ASC 270”) and clarify when it applies. Under the amendments, an entity is subject to ASC 270 if it provides “interim financial statements and notes in accordance with GAAP.” The ASU also addresses the form and content of such financial statements, adds lists to ASC 270 of the interim disclosures required by all other Codification topics, and establishes a principle under which an entity must “disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity.” As the FASB stated in the proposed guidance and reiterates in the ASU, the amendments are not intended to “change the fundamental nature of interim reporting or expand or reduce current interim disclosure requirements.” For public companies, the amendments in ASU 2025-11 are effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2025-11 beginning on January 1, 2028. Adoption of ASU 2025-11-05 is expected to modify the disclosure and presentation requirements only and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On December 17, 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, “Codification Improvements” (“ASU 2025-12”), which addresses suggestions received from stakeholders on the Codification and makes other incremental improvements to GAAP. This evergreen project facilitates Codification updates for a broad range of topics arising from technical corrections, the unintended application of the Codification, clarifications, and other minor improvements. The amendments in ASU 2025-11-05 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”), which amends the Codification to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires additional disaggregation of the reconciliation between the statutory and effective tax rate for an entity and of income taxes paid, both of which are disclosures required by current GAAP. The amendments improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction.

Valuation of Warrant Liability

On June 26, 2025, in connection with the Initial Draw, the Company issued to Unprocessed Foods Warrants to purchase 3,823,454 shares of common stock with an initial exercise price of $3.26 per share, a fair value per share of $2.09 and an aggregate fair value of $8.0 million. The aggregate fair value of the issued Warrantswas recorded as a discount to the$40.0 millionin term loan balance included in Delayed draw term loans, net in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method.

The following were the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of the Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Draw at issuance on June 26, 2025:

Risk-free interest rate3.79%
Average expected term (years)5.0
Expected volatility69.35%
Dividend yield—

As of June 28, 2025, the Company concluded it was reasonably certain to draw the remaining $60.0 million available under the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility before December 31, 2025, and therefore reasonably certain that it would issue to the Lenders Warrants to purchase the remaining 5,735,181 unissued shares of common stock pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement. The fair value of the contingently issuable Warrants measured as of June 28, 2025 was $12.1 million. The Company recorded $20.1 million in liability for the total fair value of the issued and contingently issuable Warrants in Delayed draw term loan warrants in its consolidated balance sheet at June 28, 2025.

The following were the assumptions used to determine the fair value of the contingently issuable Warrants as of June 28, 2025, assuming the draw of the remaining $60.0 million available under the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility before December 31, 2025:

AssumptionAs of June 28, 2025

Annualized volatility70.00%
Risk-free interest rate (continuous)3.76%

On September 18, 2025, the Company drew the remaining $60.0 million available under the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility. In connection with the Second Draw, the Company issued to Unprocessed Foods Warrants to purchase 5,735,181 shares of common stock with an initial exercise price of $3.26 per share, that were previously accounted for as contingently issuable Warrants.

On December 22, 2025, the exercise price of the Warrants was reduced to $1.95 from $3.26, pursuant to the provisions of the Warrant Agreement, which require a weighted average adjustment of the exercise price of the Warrants for certain below-market issuances of equity or equity-linked securities, subject to exceptions set forth in the Warrant Agreement.

The Company remeasured the fair value of the total warrant liability as of December 31, 2025 marking it to market. The following were the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to mark-to-market the fair value of the total warrant liability as of December 31, 2025, the last trading day of the period:

Risk-free interest rate3.73%
Average expected term (years)4.5

Valuation of 2030 Notes Embedded Derivative

The Company determined that the conversion option embedded within the 2030 Notes required bifurcation as a derivative liability under ASC 815. The sensitivity of the fair value calculation to these methods, assumptions, and estimates included could create materially different results under different conditions or using different assumptions. The mandatory conversion feature along with the make whole interest, the mandatory equitization feature along with the make whole interest and the holder’s optional conversion feature with the make whole interest require bifurcation and therefore, these embedded derivatives were bifurcated, along with the conversion option, from the debt host as a single, compound derivative liability (the “2030 Notes Embedded Derivative”).

The Company uses a binomial lattice valuation model in order to estimate the fair value of the 2030 Notes Embedded Derivative at inception and on subsequent period end dates. A binomial lattice valuation model generates two probable outcomes, whether up or down, arising at each point in time, starting from the inception date to the maturity date. Using this lattice model, the Company valued the 2030 Notes Embedded Derivative using a “with-and-without method,” where the value of the 2030 Notes including the embedded derivative is defined as the “with,” and the value of the 2030 Notes excluding the embedded derivative is defined as the “without,” with the difference recognized as the fair value of the 2030 Notes Embedded Derivative. Accordingly, the fair value of the 2030 Notes Embedded Derivative at the issuance date was $26.9 million, recorded as a debt discount to the 2030 Notes and is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized $1.1 million in interest expense related to the amortization of this discount. Furthermore, the change in fair value of the 2030 Notes Embedded Derivative from the issuance date to December 31, 2025 was $12.3 million and recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2025, the embedded derivative liability was $39.2 million. See Note 9. Due to the use of a qualitative adjustment for estimating volatility, the binomial lattice valuation used is considered Level 3 in the valuation hierarchy.

The following table sets forth selected inputs to the binomial lattice valuation model used to value the 2030 Notes Embedded Derivative:

Note 4. Restructuring

In May 2017, management approved a plan to terminate the Company’s exclusive supply agreement (the “Agreement”) withone of its co-manufacturers, due to non-performance under the Agreement and on May 23, 2017, the Company notified the co-manufacturer of its decision to terminate the Agreement. On October 18, 2022, the parties to this dispute entered into a confidential written settlement agreement and mutual release, pursuant to which the parties agreed to dismiss with prejudice all claims and cross-claims asserted in the associated cases filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles and the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The terms of the settlement did not have a material impact on Beyond Meat’s financial position or results of operations. No party admitted liability or wrongdoing in connection with the settlement. In 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $0, $0 and $(0.6) million, respectively, in restructuring expenses related to this dispute, which consisted primarily of legal and other expenses. The credit recorded in 2023 was primarily driven by a reversal of certain accruals. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $0 in accrued unpaid restructuring expenses associated with this dispute.

Note 5. Leases

See Note 2 and Note 12.

Campus Lease

On January 14, 2021, the Company entered into the Original Lease, a 12-year lease withtwo 5-year extensions to house its corporate headquarters, lab and innovation space (“Campus Headquarters”) in El Segundo, California. Although the Company is involved in the design of the tenant improvements of the Campus Headquarters, the Company does not have title or possession of the assets during construction. In addition, the Company does not obtain control of the leased space at the Campus Headquarters until the tenant improvements for the applicable phase in which the leased space is located have been completed and that phase has been delivered to the Company. The Original Lease was initially classified as an operating lease.

The Company paid $8.3 million and $6.5 million in rent prepayments and payments towards construction costs of the Campus Headquarters in the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The rent prepayments and payments towards construction costs are initially recorded in Prepaid lease costs, non-current in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and will ultimately be reclassified as a component of a right-of-use asset upon lease commencement for each phase of the lease.

In 2022, the tenant improvements associated with Phase 1-A were completed, and the underlying asset was delivered to the Company. As such, upon commencement of Phase 1-A, the Company recognized a $64.1 million right-of-use asset, which included the reclassification of $27.7 million of the construction payments previously included in Prepaid lease costs, non-current, and a $36.6 million lease liability. Upon completion of the tenant improvements associated with Phase 1-A, the Company moved its innovation team from its former Manhattan Beach Innovation Center to the Campus Headquarters. In 2023, the tenant improvements associated with Phase 1-B were completed, and the underlying asset was delivered to the Company. As such, upon commencement of Phase 1-B, the Company recognized a $64.9 million right-of-use asset, which included the reclassification of $29.3 million of the construction payments previously included in Prepaid lease costs, non-current, and a $35.6 million lease liability. Upon completion of the tenant improvements associated with Phase 1-B, the Company moved its headquarters, sales and marketing operations to the Campus Headquarters.

In the three months ended September 27, 2025, the Company tested its long-lived assets for recoverability and recognized a loss from impairment of prepaid lease costs in the amount of $14.6 million as the results of those tests indicated that prepaid lease costs were not recoverable. See Note 8.

On September 17, 2024, the Company entered into the First Amendment to Lease, which amendment: (i) revised the square footage of the premises, building and project resulting in: (a) an increase in the Company’s base rent by approximately $851,000 over the initial lease term; (b) an adjustment to the Company’s percentage share of direct expenses; and (c) an increase in the tenant improvement allowance for use in Phase III of the Campus Headquarters; (ii) increased the tenant improvement allowance reflecting a reduction in the scope of the Landlord’s work under the Original Lease; (iii) specified the tenant improvements that must be removed by the Company from the premises if the premises are not occupied in their entirety throughout the initial lease term and first extension term; and (iv) addressed other ministerial matters concerning the Campus Headquarters. Costs associated with this amendment are included in operating lease costs related to research and development expenses and SG&A expenses and are reflected in the tables below. Aggregate payments towards base rent over the initial lease term associated with the remaining phases not yet delivered to the Company are approximately $53.6 million.

On May 9, 2025, the Company entered into the Second Amendment, which provided for, among other things, (i) the surrender by the Company to the Landlord of the Surrendered Premises; (ii) a release of all claims arising out of, or based upon, any act, matter, or thing regarding the Surrendered Premises; (iii) the continued leasing of approximately 220,519 rentable square feet of the existing premises (the “Remaining Premises”) by the Company, including parking; (iv) payment by the Company of a one-time termination fee of $1.0 million for the benefit of the Landlord; (v) transfer of ownership to certain equipment from the Company to the Landlord; (vi) construction of modifications to the Surrendered Premises by the Company to be completed by June 30, 2025; (vii) payment by the Company of rent for the Surrendered Premises under the Campus Lease until at latest December 14, 2025; (viii) payment by the Company of the difference between (A) the Company’s base rent and parking charges under the Campus Lease for the Surrendered Premises and (B) the base rent and parking charges payable by a new tenant under its new lease for the Surrendered Premises, beginning on the earlier of when the new tenant commences normal business operations in the Surrendered Premises and December 15, 2025, and ending on the last day of the Initial Term (as defined in the Campus Lease); and (ix) payment by the Company of customary brokers’ fees in connection with the Second Amendment.

Termination costs related to the Surrendered Premises in the year ended December 31, 2025 were $32.6 million, consisting of $31.1 million in prepaid rent related to the Surrendered Premises, a $1.0 million one-time termination fee and $0.5 million in brokers’ fees. The termination costs are being recognized over the remaining initial term and first extension term of the Campus Lease. These costs are reflected in the tables below. As a result of the Second Amendment, the Company remeasured the remaining lease liability and the corresponding right-of-use (“ROU”) asset associated with the continuing portion of the lease. Based on the revised terms, including updated lease payments and term, the Company concluded that the classification of the remaining portion of the lease had changed from an operating lease to a finance lease. As such, $115.6 million previously classified as an operating lease right-of-use asset was reclassified as a finance lease right-of-use asset. In addition, the right-of-use assets for the remaining portion of the lease increased by $19.9 million, due to the reclassification of amounts previously recorded as prepaid rent, and by $10.1 million related to increases in the present value of the lease liability following the modification. The remeasurement was performed using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate as of the modification date.

On July 16, 2025, the Company and the Landlord entered into the Third Amendment, resolving a dispute between the Company and the Landlord regarding the provision and disbursement of the tenant improvement allowance under the Campus Lease. Under the terms of the Third Amendment, in exchange for a release of certain claims, the Landlord agreed to provide to the Company a rent credit of up to $700,000 for certain tenant improvements, a tenant improvement allowance of up to $150,000 to construct certain improvements, and an extension to the end of the initial term of the Campus Lease for a Landlord-approved subtenant, assignee or transferee to use the tenant improvement allowance to construct improvements for its intended use.

Concurrent with the Company’s execution of the Original Lease, the Company delivered to the Landlord a letter of credit in the amount of $12.5 million as security for the performance of its obligations under the Campus Lease. In the fourth quarter of 2025 and in connection with the Varda Sublease, the Company and the Landlord entered into the Fourth Amendment to Lease whereby the parties agreed to amend the schedule for reduction of the Company’s letter of credit to: (i) $8.25 million on November 9, 2026; (ii) $6.25 million on November 9, 2027; and (iii) $3.125 million on November 9, 2028; provided the Company is not then in default of its obligations under the Campus Lease. The letter of credit is secured by a $12.6 million deposit. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, $9.3 million and $12.6 million, respectively, of the restricted cash was included in Restricted cash, non-current.

Varda Sublease

Effective as of July 22, 2025, the Company entered into the Varda Sublease with the Subtenant, pursuant to which the Company will sublease to the Subtenant approximately 54,749 rentable square feet of the Remaining Premises, consisting of approximately 16,967 rentable square feet of improved space (the “Improved Space”) and approximately 37,782 rentable square feet of unimproved space (the “Unimproved Space” and, collectively with the Improved Space, the “Subleased Premises”). Pursuant to ASC 842, the Varda sublease is classified as an operating lease and is accounted for separately from the Company’s original lease with the landlord. See Note 2.

The Varda Sublease is subject to the applicable terms and conditions of the Campus Lease. The commencement date for the Improved Space is 30 days after receiving Landlord’s consent to the Varda Sublease (the “Improved Space Commencement Date”). The commencement date for the Unimproved Space is the earlier to occur of (i) the date Subtenant achieves substantial completion of its improvements within the Unimproved Space and receives a temporary certificate of occupancy or its equivalent, or (ii)13 months following the Landlord’s consent to the Varda Sublease (the “Unimproved Space Commencement Date”). The Varda Sublease expires on October 31, 2033, unless extended or sooner terminated pursuant to its terms.

Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of a work letter, Subtenant will receive an improvement allowance from the Landlord equal to $3,350,600 to use in constructing improvements within the Unimproved Space and the Company will pay to Subtenant up to $80,000 to construct a demising wall at the Subleased Premises. Subtenant will deliver to the Company a letter of credit in the amount of $1,564,527 as security for the performance of its obligations under the Varda Sublease, which amount is subject to decrease in the future on condition that Subtenant is not then in default of its obligations under the Varda Sublease.

On October 7, 2025, the Company entered into a letter agreement with the Landlord and the Subtenant, pursuant to which, among other things, the Landlord provided its consent to the Varda Sublease.

Sublease income in the years ended December 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $0.6 million, $0 and $0, respectively. Sublease income is recognized on a straight-line basis and included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations as a credit to Research and development expenses.

The lease for the Company’s Manhattan Beach Project Innovation Center expired on January 31, 2024. Costs associated with this lease through its expiration date are included in operating lease costs related to research and development expenses and are reflected in the tables below.

Letter of Credit

Concurrently with the Company’s execution of the Original Lease, the Company delivered to the Landlord a letter of credit in the amount of $12.5 million as security for the performance of its obligations under the Campus Lease. In connection with the Varda Sublease, the Company and the Landlord entered into the Fourth Amendment to Lease whereby the parties agreed to amend the schedule for reduction of the Company’s letter of credit to: (i) $8.25 million on November 9, 2026; (ii) $6.25 million on November 9, 2027; and (iii) $3.125 million on November 9, 2028; provided the Company is not then in default of its obligations under the Campus Lease. The letter of credit is secured by a $12.6 million deposit. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $9.3 million and $12.6 million, respectively, of the restricted cash included in Restricted cash, non-current.

Enschede Property

Given the Company’s intention to reduce its overall operating expenses and cash expenditures, on February 2, 2024, the Company terminated the agreement to purchase a property in Enschede, the Netherlands (the “Enschede Property”) and the security deposit was returned to the Company, which was subsequently paid to the purchaser of the property and applied towards the deposit and future lease payments. The Company entered into a lease agreement with the purchaser of the property to lease the approximately 114,000 square foot property for an initial period offive years with an option to extend the initial term for an additional five years at an annual rent of approximately €1.0 million (the “Enschede Property Lease”). The Enschede Property Lease is classified as a finance lease in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. Costs associated with the Enschede Property Lease are included in finance lease costs related to cost of goods sold and are reflected in the tables below.

Depreciation and amortization expense in 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $32.8 million, $23.1 million and $48.1 million, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense in 2025 included $6.4 million in accelerated depreciation related to the reassessment of useful lives of certain assets resulting from the cessation of the Company’s operational activities in China. Of the total depreciation and amortization expense in 2025, 2024 and 2023, $23.3 million (including $5.6 million in accelerated depreciation related to the reassessment of useful lives of certain assets resulting from the cessation of the Company’s operational activities in China), $20.3 million and $44.5 million, respectively, were recorded in cost of goods sold, $7.9 million (including $0.9 million in accelerated depreciation related to the reassessment of useful lives of certain assets resulting from the cessation of the Company’s operational activities in China), $2.0 million and $2.8 million, respectively, were recorded in research and development expenses, and $1.6 million, $0.8 million and $0.8 million, respectively, were recorded in SG&A expenses, in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company completed a reassessment of the useful lives of its large manufacturing and research and development equipment, and determined that the Company should increase the estimated useful lives for certain of its equipment from a range of 5 to 10 years a uniform 10 years. The timing of this reassessment was based on a combination of factors accumulating over time, including historical useful life information and changes in the Company’s planned use of the equipment, that provided the Company with updated information that allowed it to make a better estimate of the economic lives of such equipment. This reassessment was accounted for as a change in accounting estimate and was made on a prospective basis effective January 1, 2023. This change in accounting estimate decreased depreciation expense in 2023 by $21.0 million, impacting cost of goods sold and research and development expenses by $19.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively, and decreased both basic and diluted net loss per share available to common stockholders by $0.33.

The Company recorded $49.0 million, $0 and $16.6 million in loss on write-down of assets held for sale in the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the

Company had $9.4 million and $1.9 million, respectively, in Assets held for sale in its consolidated balance sheet.

The Company recorded an impairment loss of $35.8 million for Property, plant and equipment, net in 2025. See Note 8. No such impairment loss was recorded in 2024.
