Organization
Suja Life Holdings, L.P. (the “Company”), a Delaware limited partnership, is a holding company that, through its other subsidiaries, conducts operations through its wholly owned operating subsidiary Suja Life, LLC (“Suja”). The Company was organized for the purpose of entering into a merger agreement with Suja. Suja was formed on April 30, 2012 as a privately held Delaware limited liability company for the purpose of producing and distributing cold-pressed fresh juice for wholesale and retail sales. On October 11, 2022, the Company acquired all outstanding capital stock of Vive Organic, Inc. (“Vive”). Vive is a wholesaler of juice-based, functional wellness shots and immunity sparkling beverages selling its products across retail channels including conventional, drug, coffee, natural, convenience, food service, mass, and e-commerce. The Company is headquartered in Oceanside, California.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The accompanying financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company consolidates those entities it controls through a wholly owned interest.
The period from December 31, 2024 to December 29, 2025 (or year ended December 29, 2025) and the period from December 30, 2025 to December 28, 2026 (or year ended December 28, 2026) both have four equal 13-week fiscal quarters, resulting in a 52 week year. The condensed consolidated financial statements presented are:
The financial position as of March 30, 2026 and December 29, 2025.
The results of operations, comprehensive loss and changes in partners’ equity during the three months ended March 30, 2026 and March 31, 2025.
The changes in cash flows for the three months ended March 30, 2026 and March 31, 2025.
Unless otherwise noted, any reference to a year preceded by the word “fiscal” refers to the fiscal year ended the Monday closest to December 31 for that year. For example, references to “fiscal 2026” refer to the fiscal year ended December 28, 2026, references to “fiscal 2025” refer to the fiscal year ended December 29, 2025, and references to “fiscal 2024” refer to the fiscal year ended December 30, 2024.
The accounting policies followed in the presentation of interim financial results are consistent with those followed on an annual basis. These policies are presented in Note 1 - Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 29, 2025 issued on March 20, 2026.
Basic and diluted earnings per unit are not presented since the ownership structure of the Company does not include a common unit of ownership.
We have prepared the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information and the applicable accounting guidance. Accordingly, these financial statements do not necessarily include all information and footnotes required for audited financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, except as otherwise indicated) necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto presented in our Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 29, 2025. The interim financial information contained in this report is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire fiscal year.
Basis of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Restricted Cash
The Company maintains cash balances in bank accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts, and management believes the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash. Additionally, material cash balances are maintained across two or more separate financial institutions to reduce cash concentration risk.
The Company maintains a letter of credit to support certain facility lease obligations. The Company has outstanding letters of credit totaling $1,010 thousand, all of which were fully collateralized by cash deposits, as of March 30, 2026 and December 29, 2025. Accordingly, $1,010 thousand of cash has been classified as restricted cash on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 30, 2026 and December 29, 2025. These funds are not available for general corporate purposes until the related letters of credit expire or are canceled.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and restricted cash reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets to the total of the same amounts shown in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows:
($ in thousands)March 30, 2026December 29, 2025
Cash$27,378 $31,015 
Restricted cash1,010 1,010 
Total cash and restricted cash$28,388 $32,025 
Trade Receivables
Trade receivables are recorded when goods are sold. Trade receivables are presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at net realizable value. This value includes an appropriate allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts to reflect expected loss on trade receivable balances. The allowance is estimated based on the Company’s historical losses, level of past-due accounts based on the contractual terms of the receivables, existing economic conditions, and the financial stability of their customers. Receivables are written off in the year deemed uncollectible, based on payment performance and other factors. As of March 30, 2026 and December 29, 2025, the allowance totaled approximately $182 thousand and $197 thousand, respectively, and is believed to be adequate to cover expected amounts to be written off in future periods. Credit terms for payment of products are extended to customers in the normal course of business, and no collateral is required.
Deferred Transaction Costs
The Company has capitalized certain legal, accounting, and other third-party fees that are directly associated with the initial public offering (“IPO”) of Suja Life, Inc., which is considered probable of successful completion as of the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements. $4,365 thousand and $2,536 thousand of deferred transaction costs are included on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 30, 2026 and December 29, 2025, respectively, and were paid subsequent to the completion of the IPO. Upon the consummation of the IPO, deferred offering costs that are directly attributable to the offering will be reclassified as a reduction of the offering proceeds within additional paid-in capital.
Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The determination of fair value is based on the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company could participate and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or
liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. Also, determination of fair value assumes that market participants will consider the highest and best use of the asset.
The Company uses the hierarchy prescribed in ASC 820 for fair value measurements, based on the available inputs to the valuation and the degree to which they are observable or not observable in the market.
The three levels of the hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date; and
Level 2 Inputs - Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices, but that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates; yield curves); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or by other means (i.e., market corroborated inputs); and
Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value. These inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about what other market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. These are based on the best information available and can include the Company's own data.
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
The Company has assessed that the fair value of cash and restricted cash, trade receivables, accounts payable, other current liabilities, and other debt approximates their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities or recent commencement of these instruments.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of contracts with the Company’s customers are satisfied. The Company’s performance obligation under the contract, a customer sales order, generally consists of the sale of finished product to customers. Revenue is recognized at the point in time when control of the product transfers, which the Company has determined is the date at which the product is received by the customer. The Company’s sales terms generally do not allow for a right of return except in the case of spoiled or otherwise defective product. Payment is typically collected from customers within 30 days of the date of sale.
Sales are presented net of sales promotions, coupons and allowances within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Sales promotions, coupons, and allowances primarily consist of consumer coupon redemption, contractual trade promotions, early pay discounts, and other costs, including estimated allowances for spoiled product. The Company estimates the amount of spoiled product based on historical fact pattern as well as defined contract terms then accrues as a reduction of revenue in the period in which the related product revenue is recognized.
Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products to customers. The Company includes variable consideration in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
The Company’s contracts with customers may include variable consideration in the form of rebates, discounts, sales promotions, and other similar items. The Company estimates variable consideration using either the expected value method or the most likely amount method, depending on which approach better predicts the amount of consideration to which it expects to be entitled.
Estimated variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. This assessment is based on historical experience, current conditions, and the specific terms of individual customer arrangements. The amount of consideration the Company receives and revenue the Company recognizes varies with changes in incentives offered to its customers and their customers. The Company adjusts the estimate of revenue at the earlier of when the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive changes or when the consideration becomes fixed.
Sales are reported net of sales, use, excise, and other similar tax amounts collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as fulfillment costs, are accrued at time of delivery, and are included in operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company recorded $6,840 thousand and $5,286 thousand of such costs during the three months ended March 30, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively.
Advertising and Marketing
Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred within operating expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and totaled approximately $10,900 thousand and $10,034 thousand during the three months ended March 30, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. The purpose of the amendments is to enable investors to better understand an entity’s overall performance and assess potential future cash flows. ASU 2023-07 is effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning December 30, 2025 and requires the use of a retrospective approach to all prior periods presented. The Company adopted the standard on December 30, 2025 and plans to adopt the standard for interim periods beginning December 29, 2026, with early adoption permitted.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, introducing changes to income tax disclosures, primarily relating to effective tax rates and cash paid for taxes. This ASU requires companies to provide an annual rate reconciliation in both dollar figures and percentages, and changes the way annual income taxes paid are disclosed by all entities, necessitating a breakdown by federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions. The standard becomes effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and December 15, 2025 for all other entities. ASU 2023-09 may be applied prospectively or retrospectively, and allows for early adoption. These requirements do not currently impact these financial statements, however, to the extent the Company’s registration statement is declared effective these requirements may have an impact on the Company’s income tax disclosures. The Company does not intend to early adopt ASU 2023-09. The impact of adoption will be assessed at the time that the Company is subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 740, Income Taxes. The Company plans to adopt the standard for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2026.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which was further clarified by ASU 2025-01 in January 2025. These standards enhance expense disclosures by requiring more detailed information on the types of expenses included in certain captions within the consolidated financial statements, including employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and costs incurred related to inventory and manufacturing activities in income statement expense captions such as cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company will apply the new guidance on a prospective basis and expects ASU 2024-03 and ASU 2025-01 to impact only disclosures with no effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which removes all references to software development project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods. Therefore, under the ASU, software capitalization will begin when management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and when it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. ASU No. 2025-06 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The guidance is to be applied on a prospective basis, or on a modified transition approach or a retrospective transition approach; this ASU allows for early adoption. The Company is assessing the effect of this update on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
