Our business remained resilient despite subdued category trends, said Chairman and Founder Jim Koch. While the external environment remains dynamic, we have a diversified portfolio of iconic brands, strong innovation pipeline and the best sales force in beer. Our strong balance sheet fuels our 2025 incremental brand investments and enables us to return cash to shareholders with $61 million repurchased year to date.
Our first quarter performance reflects a solid start to the year as we increased our market share and significantly expanded gross margin, said President and CEO Michael Spillane. As the macroeconomic climate continues to be challenging, we remain focused on executing our strong operating plans for the summer season, across our core brands and our recently introduced innovations, supported in both cases by targeted advertising investment.
