February 2022 BellRing Brands, Inc. Investor Presentation Exhibit 99.1
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements Certain matters discussed in this presentation and the accompanying oral presentation are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are made based on known events and circumstances at the time of presentation, and as such, are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements regarding BellRing Brands, Inc.’s (“BellRing”) and, following the separation of BellRing from Post Holdings, Inc. (“Post”), BellRing Distribution, LLC’s (which will be converted to a corporation and renamed BellRing Brands, Inc.) (“New BellRing”) net sales, Adjusted EBITDA and capital expenditure outlook ranges, BellRing’s prospective financial and operating performance and opportunities and statements regarding the proposed separation of BellRing from Post and the related transactions and the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on BellRing’s business and BellRing's continuing response to the COVID-19 pandemic. These forward-looking statements are sometimes identified from the use of forward-looking words such as “believe,” “should,” “could,” “potential,” “continue,” “expect,” “project,” “estimate,” “predict,” “anticipate,” “aim,” “intend,” “plan,” “forecast,” “target,” “is likely,” “will,” “can,” “may” or “would” or the negative of these terms or similar expressions, and include all statements regarding future performance, events or developments.

THESE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, THE FOLLOWING: risks related to the proposed distribution by Post of a significant portion of its ownership interest in BellRing, including that it is subject to various conditions and may not occur, BellRing’s inability to take certain actions because such actions could jeopardize the tax-free status of the proposed distribution, BellRing’s possible responsibility for U.S. federal tax liabilities related to the proposed distribution and the incurrence by New BellRing of significant indebtedness in connection with the transactions; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including negative impacts on the global economy and capital markets, the health of BellRing’s employees, BellRing’s ability and the ability of its third party contract manufacturers to manufacture and deliver its products, operating costs, demand for its on-the-go products and its operations generally; the possibility that, if completed, the transactions may not be successful or achieve their anticipated benefits or New BellRing will face increased competition or a lack of acceptance of its products; BellRing’s dependence on sales from its ready-to-drink (“RTD”) protein shakes; BellRing’s ability to continue to compete in its product categories and its ability to retain its market position and favorable perceptions of its brands; disruptions or inefficiencies in BellRing’s supply chain, including as a result of BellRing’s reliance on third party suppliers or manufacturers for the manufacturing of many of its products, pandemics (including the COVID-19 pandemic) and other outbreaks of contagious diseases, labor shortages, fires and evacuations related thereto, changes in weather conditions, natural disasters, agricultural diseases and pests and other events beyond BellRing’s control; BellRing’s dependence on a limited number of third party contract manufacturers for the manufacturing of most of its products, including one manufacturer for the substantial majority of its RTD protein shakes; the ability of BellRing’s third party contract manufacturers to produce an amount of BellRing’s products that enables BellRing to meet customer and consumer demand for the products; BellRing’s reliance on a limited number of third party suppliers to provide certain ingredients and packaging; significant volatility in the cost or availability of inputs to BellRing’s business (including freight, raw materials, packaging, energy, labor and other supplies); BellRing’s ability to anticipate and respond to changes in consumer and customer preferences and behaviors and introduce new products; consolidation in BellRing’s distribution channels; BellRing’s ability to expand existing market penetration and enter into new markets; the loss of, a significant reduction of purchases by or the bankruptcy of a major customer; legal and regulatory factors, such as compliance with existing laws and regulations, as well as new laws and regulations and changes to existing laws and regulations and interpretations thereof, affecting BellRing’s business, including current and future laws and regulations regarding food safety, advertising, labeling, tax matters and environmental matters;
(CONTINUED FROM PRIOR PAGE): fluctuations in BellRing’s business due to changes in its promotional activities and seasonality; BellRing’s ability to maintain the net selling prices of its products and manage promotional activities with respect to its products; BellRing’s high leverage, its ability to obtain additional financing (including both secured and unsecured debt) and its ability to service its outstanding debt (including covenants that restrict the operation of its business); the accuracy of BellRing’s market data and attributes and related information; changes in estimates in critical accounting judgments; economic downturns that limit customer and consumer demand for BellRing’s products; changes in economic conditions, disruptions in the United States and global capital and credit markets, changes in interest rates, volatility in the market value of derivatives and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; risks related to BellRing’s ongoing relationship with Post, including Post’s control over BellRing and ability to control the direction of BellRing’s business, conflicts of interest or disputes that may arise between Post and BellRing and BellRing’s obligations under various agreements with Post, including under the tax receivable agreement; conflicting interests or the appearance of conflicting interests resulting from certain of BellRing’s directors also serving as officers or directors of Post; the ultimate impact litigation or other regulatory matters may have on BellRing; risks associated with BellRing’s international business; BellRing’s ability to protect its intellectual property and other assets and to continue to use third party intellectual property subject to intellectual property licenses; costs, business disruptions and reputational damage associated with information technology failures, cybersecurity incidents and/or information security breaches; impairment in the carrying value of goodwill or other intangibles; BellRing’s ability to identify, complete and integrate or otherwise effectively execute acquisitions or other strategic transactions and effectively manage its growth; BellRing’s ability to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; significant differences in BellRing’s actual operating results from BellRing’s guidance regarding its performance; BellRing’s ability to hire and retain talented personnel, employee absenteeism, labor strikes, work stoppages or unionization efforts; and other risks and uncertainties described in BellRing’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements (Cont’d) You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although BellRing believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, BellRing cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Moreover, BellRing undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this presentation to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in its expectations.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures While BellRing reports financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), this presentation includes the non-GAAP measures of Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow for BellRing, neither of which is in accordance with or a substitute for GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure which represents earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and other adjustments, as detailed later in this presentation in the Appendix. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure which represents cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA in this presentation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, see the Appendix. Management uses certain non-GAAP measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow, as key metrics in the evaluation of underlying company performance, in making financial, operating and planning decisions, and, in part, in the determination of bonuses for its executive officers and employees. Additionally, BellRing Brands, LLC (“BellRing LLC”) is required to comply with certain covenants and limitations that are based on variations of EBITDA in BellRing LLC’s financing documents. Management believes the use of non-GAAP measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow, provides increased transparency and assists investors in understanding the underlying operating performance of BellRing and in the analysis of ongoing operating trends. BellRing considers Adjusted EBITDA an important supplemental measure of performance and ability to service debt. Adjusted EBITDA is often used to assess performance because it allows comparison of operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of various items. Adjusted EBITDA has various limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results as reported under GAAP. In this presentation, BellRing provides certain non-GAAP forecasts on a non-GAAP basis and does not provide a reconciliation of such forward-looking non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including, among others, adjustments that could be made for restructuring and facility closures costs, separation costs, net earnings attributable to redeemable NCI and other charges reflected in BellRing’s reconciliation of historical numbers, the amounts of which, based on historical experience, could be significant.

BellRing or one of its subsidiaries owns or has rights to use the trademarks, service marks and trade names that are used in conjunction with the operation of BellRing or its subsidiaries’ businesses. Some of the more important trademarks that BellRing or one of its subsidiaries owns or has rights to use that appear in this presentation may be registered in the U.S. and other jurisdictions. Each logo, trademark, trade name or service mark of any other company appearing in this presentation is owned or used under license by such company. Market and Industry Data This presentation includes industry and trade association data, forecasts and information that were prepared based, in part, upon data, forecasts and information obtained from independent trade associations, industry publications and surveys and other independent sources available to BellRing. Some data also is based on BellRing management’s good faith estimates, which are derived from management’s knowledge of the industry and from independent sources. These third party publications and surveys generally state that the information included therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but that the publications and surveys can give no assurance as to the accuracy or completeness of such information. BellRing has not independently verified any of the data from third party sources nor has it ascertained the underlying economic assumptions on which such data are based. Similarly, BellRing believes its internal research is reliable, even though such research has not been verified by any independent sources and BellRing cannot guarantee its accuracy or completeness. No Offer of Securities This presentation does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities. Additional Information
Additional Information (Cont’d) Prospective Information Any prospective information provided in this presentation regarding BellRing’s future performance, including BellRing’s plans, expectations, estimates and similar statements, represents BellRing management’s estimates as of February 3, 2022 only (and is not therefore updated as of the date hereof) and are qualified by, and subject to, the assumptions and the other information set forth on the slide captioned “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Prospective information provided in this presentation regarding BellRing’s plans, expectations, estimates and similar statements contained in this presentation are based upon a number of assumptions and estimates that, while they may be presented with numerical specificity, are inherently subject to business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, including the COVID-19 pandemic, many of which are beyond BellRing’s control, are based upon specific assumptions with respect to future business decisions, some of which will change, and are necessarily speculative in nature. It can be expected that some or all of the assumptions of the estimates will not materialize or will vary significantly from actual results. Accordingly, the information set forth herein is only an estimate as of February 3, 2022, and actual results will vary from the estimates set forth herein. It should be recognized that the reliability of any forecasted financial data diminishes the farther in the future that the data is forecast. In light of the foregoing, investors should put all prospective information in context and not rely on it. Any failure to successfully implement BellRing’s operating strategy or the occurrence of the events or circumstances set forth under “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” could result in the actual operating results being different than the estimates set forth herein, and such differences may be adverse and material.

Notes: Please refer to BellRing’s Form 8-K filed on February 4, 2022, for additional detail. Please also refer to “Additional Information – Prospective Financial Information” in this presentation. Please see the Appendix for a reconciliation to the nearest GAAP figures. Fiscal Q1 2022 Financial Highlights On February 3, 2022, BellRing reported results for the first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2021 Net sales of $306.5 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $59.8 million (2) Net sales were $306.5 million, an increase of 9%, or $24.1 million, compared to the prior year period Premier Protein: Net sales increased 5% and volumes declined 6%, benefitting from higher average net selling prices driven by reduced promotional activity and price increases Overall net sales growth was impacted by capacity constraints across the broader shake contract manufacturer network. This resulted in certain products placed on allocation which caused an expected reduction in volumes sold and demand-driving promotional activity Dymatize: Net sales increased 41%, with volumes up 8%, benefitting from (i) higher average net selling prices (driven by price increases and a favorable product mix), (ii) strong velocities driven in part by continued category momentum and (iii) distribution gains for both existing and new products All other products: Net sales increased 3% Gross profit was $92.3 million, or 30.1% of net sales, an increase of 0.4%, or $0.4 million, compared to $91.9 million, or 32.5% of net sales, in the prior year period The lower gross profit margin was driven by higher input costs (predominantly whey-based and milk-based proteins and freight) On February 3, 2022, BellRing reaffirmed the following FY2022 guidance: (1) Net sales of $1.36-$1.41 billion Adjusted EBITDA of $255-$265 million Capital expenditures of $4 million Net Sales Adjusted EBITDA (2) Overview of Fiscal Q1 2022 (1) 9% ($ in millions) ($ in millions) % Margin 21.5% 19.5%

Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures BellRing uses Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, in this presentation to supplement its financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA is not prepared in accordance with GAAP, as it excludes certain items as listed below, and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies. The reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is provided in the tables on the following slides in this Appendix. BellRing believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to the reader in evaluating BellRing’s operating performance and liquidity because (i) BellRing believes it is widely used to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as depreciation and amortization, which can vary depending upon accounting methods and the book value of assets, (ii) it presents a measure of corporate performance exclusive of BellRing’s capital structure and the method by which the assets were acquired and (iii) it is a financial indicator of a company’s ability to service its debt, as BellRing Brands, LLC is required to comply with certain covenants and limitations that are based on variations of EBITDA in its financing documents. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to provide forward-looking guidance and to forecast future results. Adjusted EBITDA reflects adjustments for income tax expense, interest expense, net, depreciation and amortization including accelerated depreciation and amortization, and the following items: Impairment of goodwill: BellRing has excluded expenses for impairments of goodwill as such non-cash amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency, and BellRing believes that these costs do not reflect expected ongoing future operating expenses and do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of BellRing’s current operating performance or comparisons of BellRing’s operating performance to other periods. Restructuring and facility closure costs, excluding accelerated depreciation: BellRing has excluded certain costs associated with facility closures as the amount and frequency of such adjustments are not consistent. Additionally, BellRing believes that these costs do not reflect expected ongoing future operating expenses and do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of BellRing’s current operating performance or comparisons of BellRing’s operating performance to other periods. Stock-based compensation: BellRing’s compensation strategy after the initial public offering (the “IPO”) includes the use of BellRing stock-based compensation to attract and retain executives and employees by aligning their long-term compensation interests with BellRing’s stockholders’ investment interests. BellRing’s director compensation strategy includes an election by any director who earns retainers in which the director may elect to defer compensation granted as a director to BellRing Class A common stock, earning a match on the deferral, both of which are stock-settled upon the director’s retirement from the BellRing board of directors. BellRing’s compensation strategy prior to the IPO included the use of Post stock-based compensation to attract and retain executives and employees by aligning their long-term compensation interests with Post’s shareholders’ investment interests; after the IPO, BellRing continues to be charged for Post stock-based compensation through the master services agreement with Post. BellRing has excluded stock-based compensation as stock-based compensation can vary significantly based on reasons such as the timing, size and nature of the awards granted and subjective assumptions which are unrelated to operational decisions and performance in any particular period and does not contribute to meaningful comparisons of BellRing’s operating performance to other periods. Separation costs: BellRing has excluded certain expenses incurred (i) to effect its separation from Post, (ii) in connection with Post’s plan to distribute Post’s interest in BellRing and (iii) to support its transition into a separate stand-alone, publicly-traded entity, as the amount and frequency of such expenses are not consistent. Additionally, BellRing believes that these costs do not reflect expected ongoing future operating expenses and do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of BellRing’s current operating performance or comparisons of BellRing’s operating performance to other periods. Loss on refinancing of debt: BellRing has excluded losses recorded on refinancing of debt, inclusive of the write-off of debt issuance costs as such losses are inconsistent in amount and frequency. Additionally, BellRing believes that these losses do not reflect expected ongoing future operating expenses and do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of BellRing’s current operating performance or comparisons of BellRing’s operating performance to other periods.
Assets held for sale: BellRing has excluded adjustments recorded to adjust the carrying value of facilities and other assets classified as held for sale as such adjustments represent non-cash items and the amount and frequency of such adjustments are not consistent. Additionally, BellRing believes that these adjustments do not reflect expected ongoing future operating expenses or income and do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of BellRing’s current operating performance or comparisons of BellRing’s operating performance to other periods. Adjustment to tax receivable agreement (“TRA”) liability: BellRing has excluded adjustments to its TRA liability as the amount and frequency of such adjustments are not consistent. Additionally, BellRing believes that these adjustments do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of BellRing’s current operating performance or comparisons of BellRing’s operating performance to other periods. Foreign currency gain/loss on intercompany loans: BellRing has excluded the impact of foreign currency fluctuations related to intercompany loans denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the respective legal entity in evaluating BellRing’s performance to allow for more meaningful comparisons of performance to other periods. Mark-to-market adjustments on commodity hedges: BellRing has excluded the impact of mark-to-market adjustments on commodity hedges due to the inherent uncertainty and volatility associated with such amounts based on changes in assumptions with respect to fair value estimates. Additionally, these adjustments are primarily non-cash items and the amount and frequency of such adjustments are not consistent. Net earnings attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest (“NCI”): BellRing has included adjustments for the portion of its consolidated net earnings/loss which was allocated to NCI, allowing for the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA to include 100% of BellRing as BellRing’s management evaluates BellRing’s operating performance on a basis that includes 100% of BellRing. Pro Forma MSA Adjustment for Spin: Non-recurring charges incurred as a result of the Master Services Agreement (“MSA”) with Post relating to the spin-off. BellRing has included adjustments for an estimated $5.0 million of expenses under the Amended and Restated MSA to be entered into between New BellRing and Post, offset by the removal of $2.2 million of expenses incurred under BellRing Brands, LLC’s existing MSA with Post.
