(TSX: GURU) (“GURU” or the “Company”), Canada’s leading organic energy drink brand1, today announced record results on Amazon in both Canada and the United States during Amazon’s October Prime Big Deal Days event, held on October 6 and 7, 2026. asserted

In just two days, GURU sold 51% more units on Amazon.ca than during last year’s entire four-day event, making this the Company’s largest Prime Big Deal Days ever in Canada2. asserted

In the United States, units sold rose 25% over last year’s two-day event, marking GURU’s third consecutive record Prime Big Deal Days on Amazon.com. asserted

A RECORD DAY IN CANADA October 6 was the best day in GURU’s history on Amazon.ca, for both dollar sales and units sold. asserted

The Company sold about 50% more units that day than on its previous best day, and more than twice as many as on the opening day of last year’s event. asserted

Third-party data shows GURU also gained ground in the category. asserted

According to Stackline estimates, GURU was the #2 energy drink brand by sales on Amazon.ca during the week of the event and grew its share of category sales compared with the same week last year. uncertain

Stackline also ranked the GURU Zero Variety Pack as the top-selling energy drink product of any brand on Amazon.ca3. asserted

Over the past two years, GURU’s U.S. unit sales during Prime Big Deal Days have grown nearly 70%. asserted

ZERO SUGAR LEADS THE WAY GURU’s Zero Sugar line, the focus of the Company’s innovation over the past year, led the event. asserted

Zero Sugar products made up nearly half of GURU’s units sold on Amazon.ca and about four in ten on Amazon.com, with the GURU Zero Variety Pack as the Company’s top seller in both countries. asserted

In the United States, Zero Sugar accounted for most of the year-over-year unit growth. asserted

The three Sorbet-inspired flavors launched since last year’s event (GURU Zero Dragon Fruit Cherry Sorbet, Orange Raspberry Sorbet, and Tropical Sorbet) all added new volume in both markets. asserted

“Prime Big Deal Days is where shoppers vote with their carts, and this year they chose GURU in record numbers. asserted

In Canada, we sold more in two days than we did in four last year, and in the U.S. we posted a third straight record. asserted

Just as important is where that growth came from: our Zero Sugar line, the focus of our innovation this year, led the way in both countries. asserted

We head into the holiday season with real momentum,” commented Tyler Ricks, Executive Chair at GURU. asserted

LOOKING AHEAD GURU now turns to Black Friday and Cyber Monday on Amazon and on guruenergy.com. asserted
