Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.

Certain statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements are based on management’s current opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or projections regarding future events or future results. These forward-looking statements are only predictions, not historical fact, and involve certain risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions. Actual results, levels of activity, performance, achievements and events could differ materially from those stated, anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements. While the Company believes that its assumptions are reasonable, it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible to anticipate all factors that could affect actual results. There are many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements made or implied herein including the risks discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on March 5, 2025, the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2025 filed with the SEC on May 8, 2025, the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2025 filed with the SEC on August 8, 2025, the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 27, 2025 to be filed with the SEC, and under the heading “Supplementary Risk Factors” in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 6, 2025, as well as other factors described from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC.

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition. On October 24, 2025, Beyond Meat, Inc. (“Beyond Meat” or the “Company”) disclosed the following unaudited preliminary financial results as of and for the three months ended September 27, 2025. •Net revenue is expected to be approximately $70 million for the three months ended September 27, 2025, which is in line with the Company’s previous guidance range of $68 million to $73 million. •Gross margin is expected to be in the range of approximately 10% to 11% for the three months ended September 27, 2025, inclusive of approximately $1.7 million of expenses related to the suspension and substantial cessation of operational activities in China. Excluding these charges, gross margin is expected to be in the range of approximately 12% to 13%. •Operating expenses are expected to be in the range of approximately $41 million to $43 million for the three months ended September 27, 2025, inclusive of approximately $2 million of charges related to certain non-routine items, including incremental legal expenses associated with a contractual dispute with a former co-manufacturer, amortization of certain retention program expenses and costs related to a partial lease termination of a portion of the Company’s campus headquarters building. Excluding these charges, operating expenses are expected to be in the range of approximately $39 million to $41 million. •In addition to and not included in the preliminary estimates above, the Company expects to record a non-cash impairment charge for the three months ended September 27, 2025, related to certain of its long-lived assets. The Company’s recoverability test, conducted in accordance with ASC 360, preliminarily indicated that the carrying amount of certain of its long-lived assets was not recoverable from the projected undiscounted future cash flows of the relevant asset group. Although the impairment charge is expected to be material, the Company is not yet able to reasonably quantify the amount at this time. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2025, are not yet available. Accordingly, the financial and operational results presented above are preliminary estimates and subject to the completion of the Company’s financial closing procedures and any adjustments that may result from the completion of the quarterly review and finalization of the condensed consolidated financial statements. As a result, these preliminary estimated results may differ from actual results that will be reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the fiscal quarter when it is completed and publicly disclosed. These preliminary estimated results may change and those changes may be material. The Company’s expectations with respect to the unaudited preliminary estimated results for the period discussed above are based upon managemen
