ST. LOUIS, Feb. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BellRing Brands, Inc. (NYSE:BRBR) (the "Company") today announced that its President and Chief Executive Officer Darcy Davenport has decided to retire from the Company, effective upon the earlier of the appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer or September 30, 2026, the end of the Company's fiscal year.
Ms. Davenport will continue to serve as President and Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Board until the effective date of the transition, after which she will serve in an advisory role to ensure a smooth transition of leadership responsibilities and provide strategic support. The Board has commenced a comprehensive external search to identify the Company's next CEO.
"On behalf of the BellRing Board, I want to thank Darcy for her leadership and incredible contributions to the Company," said Robert V. Vitale, Chairman of the Board of Directors. "Darcy started with Premier Nutrition as Vice President, Marketing in 2011 and became the leader of Premier Nutrition Company after Post Holdings acquired it in 2014. Managing the integration of Dymatize and PowerBar into Premier Nutrition, she led sales growth from $140 million to over $2.3 billion and helped create a pure-play company focused on proactive wellness. Under Darcy's leadership, BellRing has built a portfolio of category-leading products, expanded key customer relationships and laid a strong foundation for long-term growth. We appreciate her continued leadership through this transition and look forward to working with her in an advisory capacity to continue to help shape our strategy."
Ms. Davenport said, "It has been an honor to lead BellRing and work alongside such a talented team. I am proud of what we have accomplished together, the company culture of good energy that we have created and the roadmap we have established for the future. As the Board conducts its search, I remain focused on achieving our fiscal 2026 objectives and continuing to execute on our strategic priorities. The foundation of BellRing is strong, and I look forward to helping the Board and the Company's new CEO advance toward its next chapter of growth."
