BOSTON BEER REPORTS

THIRD QUARTER 2018 RESULTS

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. This increase was primarily due to increases in net revenue and lower income taxes that were partially offset by increased advertising, promotional and selling expenses and lower gross margins. The lower income taxes related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 include a favorable one-time impact of $0.38 per diluted share.

Earnings per diluted share for the 39-week period ended September 29, 2018 were $5.96, an increase of $0.42 from the comparable 39-week period in 2017. Net revenue for the 39-week period ended September 29, 2018 was $770.4 million, an increase of $113.8 million, or 17.3%, from the comparable

39-week period in 2017.

In the third quarter and the 39-week period ended September 29, 2018, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $0.01 per diluted share and $0.34 per diluted share, respectively, resulting from the Accounting Standard “Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”), which was effective for the Company on January 1, 2017.
