Expand John Fieldly, Chairman and CEO of Celsius Holdings, said: 'Celsius Holdings delivered strong results in the second quarter, supported by solid sales growth for the CELSIUS and Alani Nu brands and operational efficiencies across our business. As momentum builds across the energy category, our brands continue to lead - driving household penetration, expanding shelf space and outperforming expectations. We believe modern energy is one of the most exciting growth opportunities in beverages today, and Celsius Holdings is defining the category's future. We remain focused on disciplined execution, organizational excellence and long-term growth.' FINANCIAL AND MARKET HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2025 For the three months ended June 30, 2025, revenue totaled approximately $739.3 million, compared to $402.0 million for the prior-year period, representing 84% growth. The increase was primarily driven by $301.2 million of revenue from the Alani Nu ® brand which we acquired on April 1, 2025. Alani Nu achieved record sales fueled by strong limited-time-offer (LTO) innovation performance and organic growth across the brand's core flavors. CELSIUS ® brand revenue grew 9% in the second quarter compared to the same period last year supported by favorable channel mix, increases in total distribution points and velocity gains. International revenue totaled $24.8 million for the second quarter of 2025, representing a 27% increase compared to the same period in 2024 driven by continued momentum in our expansion markets including the UK, Ireland, France, Australia, New Zealand and the Netherlands. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, gross profit increased by $171.8 million to $380.9 million from $209.1 million for the prior-year period. Gross profit margin was 51.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 52.0% for the same period in 2024. Gross margin improvements were driven by lower material costs, price mix, and favorable channel and portfolio mix but were offset by the impact of Alani Nu's margin profile, which included a $21.7 million dollar inventory step up adjustment (although Alani Nu was favorably impacted by product mix, price mix, material costs, and freight costs). As inventory is recorded on a first in first out basis, the impact from tariffs was not significant during the quarter. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025, increased $123.0 million, or 107%, to $237.9 million from $114.9 million for the year-ago period, primarily due to the addition of Alani Nu to the portfolio and acquisition-related costs, including recognition of the full performance earn out. Selling, general and administrative expenses represented 32.2% of revenue in the second quarter of 2025. Investment in our Live. Fit. Go. marketing campaign, launched in the second quarter, will continue to increase in the second half of 2025. Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2025 was $0.33 compared to $0.28 for the prior-year period. Non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2025 was $0.47 compared to $0.28 for the prior-year period. Retail Performance Retailer enthusiasm and consumer demand continue to validate the company's brand leadership in modern energy, a category now accelerating across channels and demographics. Retail sales of the Celsius Holdings portfolio in U.S. tracked channels (MULO+ w/C) reflected increasing consumer demand for sugar free, functional beverages for the 13-week period ended June 29, 2025 2. Celsius Holdings retail sales increased 29% year over year and 25% sequentially 3, with month-over-month retail sales growth since January 2025. Celsius Holdings held a 17.3% dollar share in the U.S. RTD energy category for the period, a 1.8 point year-over-year increase and 1.1 point sequential increase. CELSIUS brand retail sales increased 3% year over year for the 13-week period ended June 29, 2025, and 17.6% sequentially 4, with month-over-month retail sales growth since January 2025. The CELSIUS brand held an 11% dollar share in the U.S. RTD energy category for the period, a 1.3 point decline over the year-ago period. Sequential dollar share increased slightly (+8 bps) over the prior period. 5 Alani Nu brand retail sales increased 129% year over year for the 13-week period ended June 29, 2025, and 39% sequentially, 6 marking one of the fastest accelerations in the category and underscoring the brand's resonance with younger, more diverse energy consumers. The Alani Nu brand held a 6.3% dollar share in the U.S. RTD energy category for the period, a 3.1 point increase over the year-ago period. Sequential dollar share increased by 1 point over the prior 13-week period. 7 Strong retailer support and rising consumer demand for great-tasting, better-for-you functional beverages have propelled Celsius Holdings' past-52-week RTD energy retail sales to over $4 billion, surpassing the combined sales of the next eight RTD energy drink brands in the same period. 8 FINANCIAL AND MARKET HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE FIRST HALF OF 2025 For the six months ended June 30, 2025, revenue totaled approximately $1,068.5 million, compared to $757.7 million for the prior-year period, representing growth of 41.0%. The increase was primarily driven by $301.2 million of revenue from the Alani Nu brand in the second quarter of 2025. International revenue totaled $47.5 million for the first half of 2025, representing a 33% increase compared to the first half of 2024, driven by continued momentum in expansion markets, including the UK, Ireland, France, Australia, New Zealand and the Netherlands as well as growth in Nordic markets. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, gross profit increased by $161.9 million to $553.2 million from $391.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Gross profit margin was 51.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a 20-basis-point increase from 51.6% for the same period in 2024, driven by lower material costs, price mix, and favorable channel and portfolio mix which were partially offset by the impact of Alani Nu's margin profile which included a $21.7 million dollar inventory step up adjustment (although Alani Nu was favorably impacted in the second quarter by product mix, price mix, material costs, and freight costs). Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025, increased $144.4 million, or 68%, to $358.2 million from $213.9 million for the prior-year period. Diluted earnings per share for the first half of 2025 was $0.48 compared to $0.55 for the prior-year period. Non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share for the first half of 2025 was $0.65 compared to $0.55 for the prior-year period.

The total tax effect of the adjusted items for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $(0.06) per diluted share. There were no adjusted items for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Tax effects are determined based on the tax treatment of the related item, the incremental statutory rate of the jurisdictions pertaining to the adjustment, and their effects on pre-tax income (loss). Expand USE OF NON-GAAP MEASURES Celsius defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before net interest (expense) income, income tax expense (benefit), and depreciation and amortization expense, further adjusted by excluding stock-based compensation expense, foreign exchange gains or losses, distributor termination fees, legal settlement costs, reorganization costs, acquisition costs, penalties, and inventory step-up adjustment. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is the ratio between the company's Adjusted EBITDA and net revenue, expressed as a percentage. Adjusted diluted earnings per share is GAAP diluted earnings per share net of add backs and deductions for distributor termination, legal settlement costs, reorganization costs, acquisitions costs, penalties, and inventory step-up adjustment. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted diluted earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures. Celsius uses Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted diluted earnings per share for operational and financial decision-making and believes these measures are useful in evaluating its performance because they eliminate certain items that management does not consider indicators of Celsius' operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted diluted earnings per share may also be used by many of Celsius' investors, securities analysts, and other interested parties in evaluating its operational and financial performance across reporting periods. Celsius believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted diluted earnings per share, provides useful information to investors by allowing an understanding of measures that it uses internally for operational decision-making, budgeting and assessing operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted diluted earnings per share are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net income or any other financial measure presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of Celsius' results as reported under GAAP. Celsius strongly encourages investors to review its financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted diluted earnings per share as defined by Celsius, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. It therefore may not be possible to compare Celsius' use of these non-GAAP financial measures with those used by other companies. More News From Celsius Holdings, Inc.

Celsius Holdings (NasdaqCM:CELH) Share Price Surges 75% Over Last Quarter
Celsius Holdings announced its Q1 2025 earnings pre-market on May 6, revealing a decline in sales and net income compared to the previous year, with sales at USD 329 million and net income at USD 44 million. Despite the financial results, the company's share price surged by 75% over the last quarter, aligning with broader market trends as the S&P 500 also experienced significant growth. Recent executive changes, including the appointment of Eric Hanson as President and COO, could have bolstered investor confidence, contributing positively amidst a strong market backdrop. Celsius Holdings has 2 risks we think you should know about. AI is about to change healthcare. These 23 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10b in market cap - there's still time to get in early. The announcement of Celsius Holdings' Q1 2025 earnings report, revealing a decline in sales and net income, juxtaposes starkly against its 75% share price surge last quarter. This indicates that investor sentiment might be driven more by market trends and executive changes, such as Eric Hanson's appointment, than the recent financial results. These developments, along with broader market trends, helped boost investor confidence, even as financial performance declined. Furthermore, the acquisition of Alani Nu is expected to be a long-term driver for growth, potentially mitigating some of the immediate financial setbacks. Over the past five years, Celsius Holdings has seen a very large total shareholder return of 1296.31%, underscoring strong long-term performance compared to its one-year underperformance in the beverage industry. In context, the broader beverage industry experienced a 7.3% decline over the past year, illustrating the short-term challenges Celsius faces within the sector. Despite immediate pressures, long-term growth expectations remain robust, with revenue projected to grow by 18.2% and earnings by 32.1% annually. The recent share price movement is also in relation to the consensus analyst price target of US$42.16, which is 18.8% above the current share price of US$35.52. The market's optimism about new management and strategic acquisitions contributes to forecasting a notable increase in future earnings and revenue from international expansion and innovation. However, Q1's financial decline suggests challenges ahead in balancing rising expenses with revenue growth, potentially influencing the careful evaluation of earnings forecasts. Analysts' assumptions about future growth and earnings will determine if these optimistic projections will be realized.

Some Investors May Be Willing To Look Past Celsius Holdings' (NASDAQ:CELH) Soft Earnings
Celsius Holdings, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:CELH) recent soft profit numbers didn't appear to worry shareholders, as the stock price showed strength. Our analysis suggests that investors may have noticed some promising signs beyond the statutory profit figures. See our latest analysis for Celsius Holdings Many investors haven't heard of the accrual ratio from cashflow, but it is actually a useful measure of how well a company's profit is backed up by free cash flow (FCF) during a given period. In plain english, this ratio subtracts FCF from net profit, and divides that number by the company's average operating assets over that period. This ratio tells us how much of a company's profit is not backed by free cashflow. As a result, a negative accrual ratio is a positive for the company, and a positive accrual ratio is a negative. That is not intended to imply we should worry about a positive accrual ratio, but it's worth noting where the accrual ratio is rather high. To quote a 2014 paper by Lewellen and Resutek, "firms with higher accruals tend to be less profitable in the future". Over the twelve months to December 2024, Celsius Holdings recorded an accrual ratio of -0.40. That indicates that its free cash flow quite significantly exceeded its statutory profit. To wit, it produced free cash flow of US$240m during the period, dwarfing its reported profit of US$107.5m. Celsius Holdings shareholders are no doubt pleased that free cash flow improved over the last twelve months. That might leave you wondering what analysts are forecasting in terms of future profitability.
