Boston Beer Co Inc (SAM) 10-Q Quarterly Report October 2018

BOSTON, MA (10/25/18) — The Boston Beer Company, Inc. (NYSE: SAM) reported third quarter 2018 net revenue of $306.9 million, an increase of $59.8 million or 24.2% from the third quarter of 2017, mainly due to an increase in shipments of 23.5%. Net income for the third quarter was $38.0 million, or $3.21 per diluted share, an increase of $4.3 million or $0.43 per diluted share from the third quarter of 2017.
