Read MoreHide Full Article

Key Takeaways

  • Dymatize's fiscal Q3 sales rose 26.7%, driven by a 20.7% price/mix gain and 6% volume growth.
  • Dymatize consumption grew 2.7%, with eCommerce and RTD shakes driving demand growth in the quarter.
  • Overseas distribution gains and stronger international demand provided additional volume support for Dymatize.

BellRing Brands, Inc.’s (BRBR - Free Report) Dymatize delivered a sharp acceleration in the third quarter of fiscal 2026, with net sales rising 26.7% year over year. This increase was built on both higher volume and substantially stronger price/mix. Dymatize volume advanced 6%, while price/mix contributed a much larger 20.7% increase. The pricing benefit reflected inflation-driven price increases taken earlier in the year, making higher average net selling prices the biggest contributor to the brand’s quarterly sales growth. 

Demand also provided support. Dymatize consumption (tracked and untracked channels) increased 2.7% in the fiscal third quarter. The supplemental presentation shows that eCommerce and ready-to-drink (“RTD”) shakes were the key drivers of consumption growth. This demand pattern was also reflected in quarterly sales, with stronger consumer demand concentrated primarily in eCommerce and international channels. Distribution gains in overseas markets provided an additional boost, helping Dymatize generate positive volume growth alongside the substantial pricing contribution. 

The quarterly performance also stands out against the fiscal year-to-date trend. For the first nine months of fiscal 2026, Dymatize net sales increased 13.7%, driven by a 9% rise in volume and 4.7% growth in price/mix. In the fiscal third quarter, that growth mix changed considerably, with price/mix becoming the much larger contributor. 

Overall, the quarterly sales jump reflected a combination of inflation-driven pricing, volume growth, stronger eCommerce and international demand, RTD shake consumption and broader overseas distribution. Pricing was the dominant numerical driver, while demand and distribution gains supplied additional volume support.
