An announcement from Boston Beer ( (SAM) ) is now available.

Boston Beer has updated its financial guidance for 2024 due to a $26 million cash payment made to Rauch North America Inc. as part of a revised production agreement intended to optimize its supply chain. This contract amendment is expected to enhance production flexibility and improve termination rights, though it will result in a pre-tax contract settlement expense impacting the company’s fourth-quarter earnings. The new agreement is not anticipated to significantly affect the company’s 2025 shortfall fees, and further guidance will be provided in the upcoming earnings report.
