John Fieldly, Chairman and CEO of Celsius Holdings, Inc., said: “Celsius today reported its best second quarter financial results ever, delivering records in revenue, gross profit and gross margin. Celsius continued to lead the energy drink category, contributing 47 percent of all second-quarter growth, and we believe that we are well-positioned to capture incremental category dollar share. Celsius innovation is giving consumers great tasting, better-for-you energy drink products that are filling a whitespace and bringing new consumers to an evolving energy drink category.”

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2024

Revenue for the second quarter of 2024 increased 23% to $402.0 million compared to $325.9 million for the prior-year period, driven primarily by the North American business and the company’s success in sustaining consumer demand growth. Revenue in the quarter was offset in part by reduction in inventory days on hand by a large distributor.

Retail sales of Celsius in total U.S. MULOC grew by 36.5% year over year in the second quarter of 20241 as reported by Circana for the last-thirteen-week period ended June 30, 2024.

International sales of $19.6 million increased 30% year over year in the second quarter from $15.1 million, driven by ongoing velocity improvements and brand awareness.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2024 increased 32% to $209.1 million compared to $159.0 million for the prior-year period. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 52.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, up from 48.8% for the prior-year period, as a result of freight optimization and lower materials costs.

Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter increased 65% to $0.28 compared to $0.17 for the prior-year period, driven by improvements in gross margin and leverage across SG&A.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE FIRST HALF OF 2024

Revenue for the first half of 2024 increased 29% to $757.7 million compared to $585.8 million for the prior-year period. International sales of $35.8 million increased 36% from $26.4 million for the prior-year period.

Gross profit for the first half of 2024 increased 43% to $391.3 million compared to $272.8 million for the prior-year period. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 51.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, up from 46.6% for the prior-year period.

Diluted earnings per share for the first half of the year increased 77% to $0.55 compared to $0.31 for the prior-year period, driven by improvements in gross margin and leverage across SG&A.

Celsius’ energy drink category dollar share in MULOC in the last-four-week period ended July 14, 2024, was 11%, an increase of 1.4 points compared to the year-ago period2. This share performance delivered quarter-over-quarter sales growth for Celsius of 11.8% within the category3.

___________________________

1Selling, general and administrative expenses related to employee non-cash stock-based compensation expense. Stock-based compensation expense consists of non-cash charges for the estimated fair value of unvested restricted share unit and stock option awards granted to employees and directors. The Company believes that the exclusion provides a more accurate comparison of operating results and is useful to investors to understand the impact that stock-based compensation expense has on its operating results.

22023 distributor termination represents reversals of accrued termination payments. The unused funds designated for termination expense payments to legacy distributors were reimbursed to Pepsi for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

32023 Legal class action settlement pertained to the McCallion vs Celsius Holdings class action lawsuit, which we settled during the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

USE OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

Celsius defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before net interest 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 and certain impairment charges. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure.

Celsius uses Adjusted EBITDA 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 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 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 is not a recognized term 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, 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.

Celsius today reported its best second quarter financial results ever, delivering records in revenue, gross profit and gross margin. Celsius continued to lead the energy drink category, contributing 47 percent of all second-quarter growth.
