      Beverage Corp. Out-Performs Estimates for Fiscal Year Gains</b></font>
    </p>
    <p>
      FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 16, 2009--National Beverage
      Corp. (NASDAQ:FIZZ) today released financial results for the quarter and
      fiscal year ended May 2, 2009.
    </p>
    <p>
      For the fiscal year:
    </p>
    <ul>
      <li style="margin-bottom: 10.0px">
        Revenues increased to $575.2 million.
      </li>
      <li style="margin-bottom: 10.0px">
        Net income increased 10% to $24.7 million, or $.54 per share.
      </li>
      <li style="margin-bottom: 10.0px">
        Cash increased to $84.1 million.
      </li>
    </ul>
    <p>
      For the quarter, revenues and operating income increased to $148.4
      million and $11.2 million. Operating income increased by 28% and net
      income by 23% to $6.9 million, or $.15 per share.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;We are extremely fortunate to be the beneficiary of the distinctive
      value offered by our brands. Time-tested and traditionally VALUE
      designated, our brands attract consumers&#8217; preferences &#8211; both in taste
      and value . . . more than ever,&#8221; stated Chairman and Chief Executive
      Officer, Nick A. Caporella.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;Necessity . . . in this daunting economy ignites the spirit of <i>mandatory</i>
      innovation! Volume growth of our 24oz single-serve package, our
      sparkling LaCroix waters and Everfresh/Mr. Pure juices has prompted
      savvy retailers to recognize that promoting our <i>&#8216;value brands&#8217; </i>induces
      consumers to &#8216;trade out&#8217; of their &#8216;tired ole colas&#8217; to a more
      stimulating, flavorful refreshment . . . and make more profit while
      doing it,&#8221; continued Caporella.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;Confidence can be stimulated in various ways, but trust, as in Brand
      Shasta, Faygo, Everfresh and LaCroix, is the main ingredient that is so
      synonymous with Confidence. We at National Beverage are conditioned by
      ourselves &#8211; to run lean and hard, using our philosophy and passion as
      energy/fuel to drive results and opportunities. Our strong balance sheet
      and stronger pride . . . carries us into a new year with much
      determination to maximize all opportunities and create value for our
      fellow employees, shareholders, customers and consumers!!&#8221; concluded
      Caporella.
    </p>
    <p>
      National Beverage is highly innovative, making it unique as a <i>pace-setter</i>
      in the changing soft-drink industry. Its lineup of refreshment products
      including &#8211; energy drinks, fortified powders and supplements, and
      functionally enhanced juices and waters &#8211; are geared toward the
      lifestyle/health-conscious consumer.
    </p>
    <p>
      Shasta<i>&#174;</i> &#8211; Faygo<i>&#174;</i> &#8211; Everfresh<i>&#174;</i>
      and LaCroix<i>&#174;</i> are aligned with Rip It<i>&#174;</i> energy
      products to make National Beverage . . . America&#8217;s <i>Flavor&#8226;Favorite</i>
      &#8211; soft-drink company.
