The fiscal second quarter of last year reportedly had a per-share net loss of $0.05 and $67.3 million in revenue.
During the latest quarter, net revenues increased by 68.5% year over year. Growth in volume sold was driven mainly by increased retail channel sales, resulting from distribution gains both domestically and abroad, higher sales velocities at existing retail customers and contribution from new product introductions.

Beyond Meat has still suspended its outlook for the 2020 full year.
