Lifeway Foods Projects Estimated Unaudited Net Sales Range of $55.8 Million to $57.0 Million for Third Quarter of 2025, Highlighting Record Growth for Flagship Kefir Products
Lifeway Foods, Inc., the undisputed leader in kefir in the US, today announced estimated unaudited net sales of between $55.8 and $57.0 million for the third quarter ended Sept.30, 2025. This represents an estimated increase ranging from 21 percent to 24 percent compared to the same period last year, driven by strong consumer demand for the Company’s flagship Lifeway Kefir and its rapidly expanding high-protein Lifeway Farmer Cheese line.
“Kefir is one of the hottest categories in US grocery right now and Lifeway is the clear leader,” said Julie Smolyansky, CEO of Lifeway Foods. “We’ve evolved from a cult favorite to achieving record sales, thanks to our loyal customers who have embraced Lifeway and shared their passion for our protein- and probiotic-packed kefir. What once felt like a treasure hunt to find Lifeway on shelves has transformed into coast-to-coast availability. In the past quarter alone, we launched 8oz organic kefir with a major national retailer and secured another club rotation. Today, you can find Lifeway in nearly every major chain across the country, and we’re expanding into new channels including corner stores, airports and universities. As previously announced, we’re currently executing a project to nearly double production capacity at our Waukesha facility to support our growth trajectory. With expanding distribution, accelerating velocities and strong momentum, we’re well-positioned to carry this success through the rest of the year and beyond.”
