Celsius čelí žalobě kvůli marketingu Alani Nu mladistvým
CELH Celsius Holdings
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
NEW YORK, Sept. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pomerantz LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Celsius Holdings, Inc. ("Celsius" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: CELH) and certain officers. The class action, filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, and docketed under 26-cv-62465, is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons and entities other than Defendants that purchased or otherwise acquired Celsius securities between February 21, 2025 and June 3, 2026, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), seeking to recover damages caused by Defendants' violations of the federal securities laws and to pursue remedies under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, against the Company and certain of its top officials.

If you are an investor who purchased or otherwise acquired Celsius securities during the Class Period, you have until November 3, 2026, to ask the Court to appoint you as Lead Plaintiff for the class. A copy of the Complaint can be obtained at www.pomerantzlaw.com. To discuss this action, contact Danielle Peyton at [email protected] or 646-581-9980 (or 888.4-POMLAW), toll-free, Ext. 7980. Those who inquire by e-mail are encouraged to include their mailing address, telephone number, and the number of shares purchased.

Celsius develops, processes, manufactures, markets, sells, and distributes products including energy drinks.

On April 1, 2025, Celsius closed the acquisition of Alani Nutrition LLC ("Alani Nu"), a maker of highly caffeinated energy drinks (described in greater detail below), for a net purchase price of $1.65 billion, comprised of cash and stock.

At all relevant times, Defendants represented that their products, including specifically Alani Nu drinks, were safe and healthy. For example, as of the time this Complaint was filed, Alani Nu's website continues to represent that "we use ingredients you can feel good about without compromising taste."

However, in contrast to Defendants' representations, Alani Nu drinks present serious risks due to the amount of caffeine they contain. A single 12-ounce Alani Nu drink contains 200 milligrams of caffeine, more than other popular energy drinks and more than twice the 100-milligram daily limit of caffeine recommended for teenagers and children aged 12 to 17, according to leading bodies of pediatricians and adolescent psychiatrists. The Center for Disease Control has stated that consumption of energy drinks in this age range can lead to cardiovascular issues ranging from irregular heartbeat to heart failure.

Alani Nu drinks have previously been the subject of regulatory action. In August of 2023, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency warned Canadians "[d]o not consume, use, sell, serve, or distribute" Alani Nu energy drinks, stating that the drinks "are being recalled from the marketplace due to various non-compliances related to caffeine content and labelling requirements." Specifically, Alani Nu's caffeine content exceeded Canada's legal limit of 180 milligrams for a single-serving energy drink.

Despite the risks that Alani Nu drinks present to consumers under the age of 18, Defendants at all relevant times have marketed these drinks to such consumers despite asserting their purported commitment not to do so. Alani Nu drinks are packaged in dynamic, bright colors, and Alani Nu actively recruits college students to join the "Alani Ambassadors" program and market Alani Nu products using their profiles on social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok. As of the filing of this Complaint, the Alani Nu website even concedes that Defendants work with individuals whose social media audiences are comprised up to 25% of individuals under the age of 18.

While the labels on Alani Nu energy drinks state the amount of caffeine one can contains and generally state that they are "not recommended for consumption by children", they contain no similar cautionary language with respect to teenagers.

The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operations, and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Defendants' products failed to adequately disclose the cardiac risks of consuming Alani Nu products; (ii) by marketing Alani Nu drinks to consumers under the age of 18, the Company was marketing its products to individuals who were particularly susceptible to known health risks posed by those products; (iii) the foregoing created a non-speculative risk that Alani Nu consumers would suffer potentially fatal adverse health events; (iv) the foregoing, once revealed, was likely to have a significant negative impact on the Company's business and reputation; and (v) as a result, Defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

The truth began to emerge on April 9, 2026, when NBC News and local news outlet MyRGV (Rio Grande Valley) reported that the family of 17-year old Texas cheerleader Larissa Rodriguez had filed a wrongful death lawsuit in Hidalgo County District Court against Glazer's Beer and Beverage, LLC ("Glazer's") and Glazer's Beer and Beverage of Texas, LLC, two distributors of Alani Nu. The family alleged that Rodriguez died from an enlarged heart caused by drinking Alani Nu energy drinks and that the drinks "had inadequate warnings about the serious cardiac risks" of drinking Alani Nu. According to NBC News, Celsius stated in response, inter alia, "our policy is not to market or sample to anyone under 18".

On this news, Celsius's stock price fell $1.52 per share, or 4.18%, to close at $34.86 on April 10, 2026.

Then, on June 4, 2026, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton ("Paxton") announced an investigation into Celsius over concerns that its high-caffeine energy drinks are being marketed to children and teens. Per Attorney General Paxton's announcement, the investigation will specifically examine whether Celsius and its Alani Nu subsidiary had violated the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act by misrepresenting the safety of their products.

On news of the investigation, Celsius's stock price fell $2.26 per share, or 7.53%, to close at $27.75 per share on June 4, 2026.

Celsius klesá po snížení ratingu Deutsche Bank

FMP Stock News 72
Original source text
Shares of Celsius Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:CELH) are trading lower Thursday morning, breaking a multi-week recovery effort. The retreat follows a Wall Street analyst downgrade by Deutsche Bank.

Here’s what investors need to know.

Celsius Holdings stock is taking a hit today. What’s weighing on CELH shares? Deutsche Bank Downgrade Triggers Premarket Selling PressureThe primary catalyst driving Thursday’s decline was a downgrade from Deutsche Bank, which lowered its rating on Celsius Holdings from Buy to Hold.

The bank cited lingering execution headwinds following the company’s second-quarter earnings report on Aug. 6, where Celsius posted revenue of $817.9 million (missing Wall Street expectations of $870 million) and a 11.7% year-over-year sales decline in its flagship Celsius brand.

Recent Institutional Inflows and Leadership Changes Face RetestThe pullback interrupts a recent rally fueled by regulatory filings on Aug. 13, revealing that Ranger Investment Management L.P. initiated a new 465,470-share stake, alongside management restructuring announced on Aug. 10, promoting Tyler Bohannon to Chief Commercial Officer.

Thursday’s downgrade underlines that despite portfolio contributions from newly integrated brands like Alani Nu and Rockstar Energy, investors could remain cautious over core brand trajectory and inventory rebalancing in the second half of the year.

CELH Shares Fall Thursday MorningCELH Price Action: Celsius Holdings shares were down 5.22% at $33.38 during premarket trading on Thursday, according to Benzinga Pro data.

Celsius News Summary Here are the key news stories impacting Celsius this week:

Positive Sentiment: Stephens maintained an “overweight” rating while lowering its price target to $50, suggesting substantial potential upside if Celsius can stabilize its brands and improve execution. Stephens price target article Positive Sentiment: Alani Nu and Rockstar contributed to 10.6% year-over-year quarterly revenue growth, while Celsius remains viewed as a potential consolidation target for larger beverage companies.

Key Takeaways Alani Nu drove CELH's Q2 growth as revenues rose 21% and tracked-channel retail sales jumped 55.7%.CELSIUS brand revenues fell 11.7% as SKU cuts, softer retail trends and inventory rebalancing weighed.CELH's gross margin fell 340 basis points to 48.1%, while adjusted EBITDA declined 12% to $184.2 million. Celsius Holdings, Inc. (CELH - Free Report) reported a second-quarter earnings miss even as its broader beverage portfolio continued to expand. Revenues rose 10.6% year over year to $817.9 million, supported by Alani Nu and Rockstar, but adjusted earnings fell 23% to 36 cents per share.

The quarter sharpened the divide inside the portfolio. Alani Nu is adding consumers, distribution and innovation-driven growth, while the flagship CELSIUS brand is working through SKU rationalization, softer retail trends and inventory rebalancing. Contracting margins add another hurdle, making the next phase of the story less about portfolio scale and more about whether that scale can translate into better earnings.

CELH Q2 Miss Exposes a Split PortfolioAdjusted earnings of 36 cents per share missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 42 cents. Revenues of $817.9 million also fell short of the $883 million consensus mark, although the top line increased 10.6% from the prior-year quarter.

The growth came from a broader portfolio rather than uniform brand momentum. Alani Nu contributed $364.4 million in second-quarter revenues and Rockstar added about $66.5 million, while CELSIUS brand revenues declined 11.7%. That mix helped consolidated revenues grow despite weakness in the company’s flagship franchise.

Portfolio retail trends were stronger than reported revenues. U.S. tracked-channel retail sales across CELSIUS, Alani Nu and Rockstar increased 31% in the quarter, and the portfolio held about 20.1% of the U.S. ready-to-drink energy category. The gap between portfolio growth and core-brand performance remains the key issue after the report.

Alani Nu Carries CELH's Near-Term GrowthAlani Nu remains Celsius Holdings’ clearest near-term growth engine. The brand generated about $364.4 million in second-quarter revenues, up roughly 21% year over year, while tracked-channel retail sales advanced 55.7%. Its U.S. ready-to-drink energy dollar share reached about 8.7%.

Innovation is helping sustain that momentum. Purple Cotton Candy became Alani Nu’s top-selling new flavor during the quarter, following launches such as Cherry Bomb and Lime Slush. Management said successful limited-time flavors can graduate into permanent placements, which can help expand the brand’s core assortment as it scales. Monster Beverage Corporation (MNST - Free Report) is a relevant industry benchmark, with its Monster Energy Drinks segment posting 27.6% net-sales growth in the first quarter of 2026.

Core Celsius Needs a 2027 RecoveryCELSIUS brand revenues fell 11.7% year over year in the second quarter, while tracked-channel retail sales declined 2%. The brand’s U.S. ready-to-drink energy dollar share was about 9.5%, down from roughly 9.9% in the first quarter.

Management tied the pressure to SKU optimization, delayed installation of targeted retail space, limited innovation, increased trade and promotional spending, softness in the club channel and distributor inventory rebalancing. The rationalization reduced distribution points before all planned shelf and cooler gains were in place. PepsiCo, Inc. (PEP - Free Report) remains central to execution because its direct-store-delivery system distributes CELSIUS, Alani Nu and Rockstar in the United States.

There are early productivity signs. Dollars per point of distribution increased about 16% from the first quarter to the second despite roughly 7% fewer distribution points. Fizz-Free tracked-channel dollar sales also rose more than 20% sequentially.

Those improvements have not yet restored brand growth. Management expects the third quarter to look similar to the second before CELSIUS returns to growth exiting 2026, with additional 16-ounce innovation planned for early 2027. That timing makes the next several quarters an execution test rather than a confirmed recovery.

CELH Margin Pressure Deepens the Earnings ImpactGross margin declined 340 basis points year over year to 48.1% in the second quarter. Higher promotional activity and direct-store-delivery channel mix pressured profitability, while aluminum and fuel costs offset some benefits from freight optimization and acquisition integration.

Adjusted EBITDA fell 12% to $184.2 million, with adjusted EBITDA margin dropping to 22.5% from 28.4%. The margin contraction explains why double-digit revenue growth did not translate into higher adjusted earnings.

Celsius Holdings is pursuing several offsets, including a second North Carolina manufacturing line, direct sourcing, freight improvements and price-pack architecture. Still, management expects third-quarter gross margin to remain in the high 40s at current diesel and aluminum levels.

The earnings recovery could therefore lag revenue growth even if portfolio sales remain healthy.

Rockstar Adds Scale but Not Yet Demand MomentumRockstar contributed about $66.5 million in second-quarter revenues, but consumer demand remains soft. Tracked-channel retail sales declined 13% year over year, and the brand held about 1.9% of U.S. ready-to-drink energy dollar share.

The integration was completed in June, shifting the focus from operational transition to demand stabilization. Management has cited early velocity gains after SKU rationalization and said Rockstar is tracking in line with the sales expectations set at acquisition. The company is also refreshing packaging and focusing marketing around motorsports, music and gaming.

The key issue is timing. Management continues to position 2026 as a stabilization year and Rockstar for a stronger 2027. Until retail growth improves, the brand adds scale to CELH’s portfolio but does not provide the same demand momentum as Alani Nu.

CELH Signals Keep the Q2 Reset in FocusThe second-quarter report showed that Alani Nu can offset part of the weakness in the CELSIUS brand, but it has not yet fully offset the earnings impact of softer core trends and lower margins. That distinction matters because consolidated revenue growth can remain healthy while profitability stays under pressure.

CELH currently carries a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell). The stock also has a Growth Score of A, Momentum Score of B, Value Score of D and VGM Score of B. The favorable Growth and Momentum Scores highlight the portfolio’s expansion potential, but the Zacks Rank remains the more important near-term signal because it incorporates the direction of earnings-estimate revisions.

You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

For investors evaluating the Q2 event, the next proof points are clear: CELSIUS brand growth needs to stabilize, margin initiatives need to overcome commodity and promotional pressure, and Rockstar needs to show better retail demand. Until those trends improve, Alani Nu is carrying more of the portfolio’s growth burden than the headline revenue increase alone suggests.

Key Takeaways CELH expects Q3 weekly run rates to stay near Q2 levels, with slight gains before exiting 2026 in growth.Celsius said it cut too many SKUs, while cold-space gains took longer and innovation was deliberately limited.Alani Nu posted about $364M in Q2 sales, up about 21%, while Rockstar integration finished in June. Celsius Holdings, Inc. (CELH - Free Report) used its second-quarter 2026 earnings call to temper near-term expectations for brand CELSIUS. Chairman and chief executive officer John Fieldly said the brand’s third-quarter performance should look much like Q2 before returning to growth exiting the year.

Adjusted EPS of $0.36 missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.42, while revenues of $817.9 million missed the $883.3 million consensus. Revenues still increased 10.6% year over year.

CELH Sees Q3 Core Brand Pressure PersistChief financial officer Jarrod Langhans said brand CELSIUS net sales fell approximately 12% year over year versus a 2% decline in tracked retail sales. He cited shipment timing, higher trade and promotional investment, and club-channel softness.

Langhans said depletions versus orders accounted for roughly half the gap between scanner and reported results at quarter-end as distributor inventory rebalanced following SKU removals.

Fieldly said third-quarter weekly run rates should be broadly similar to Q2, with slight increases, before CELSIUS exits 2026 back in growth.

Celsius Says SKU Cuts Went Too FarDuring Q&A, a Goldman Sachs analyst asked whether the SKU rationalization had been the right decision. Fieldly acknowledged that Celsius cut too many CELSIUS SKUs and said a lighter reduction would have been preferable.

Fieldly said assortment cuts occurred immediately, while targeted cold-space and permanent cooler gains took longer. Celsius also deliberately limited innovation while integrating Alani Nu and Rockstar.

Fieldly identified the 16-ounce line as an area needing work and said a meaningful new offering is planned for early 2027. He said future optimization will emphasize replacing tail SKUs with permanent innovation.

CELH Leans on Alani as Rockstar StabilizesLanghans said Alani Nu generated approximately $364 million in second-quarter net sales, up approximately 21% year over year, while tracked retail sales rose 56%. Higher DSD mix, trade investment and billbacks reduced reported net revenue growth.

Fieldly said Purple Cotton Candy became Alani's top-selling new flavor in tracked channels. He emphasized building a more stable permanent core by moving successful limited-time flavors into everyday placements.

Fieldly added the Rockstar integration was completed in June on the planned nine-month timeline. His near-term focus is stability, core identity and improved velocity ahead of 2027.

Celsius Sees Margin Gains Offset by CommoditiesLanghans said second-quarter gross margin was approximately 48%, consistent with the first quarter, as outbound freight and integration benefits offset commodity inflation, primarily aluminum.

He expects third-quarter gross margin to remain in the high 40s at current diesel and aluminum levels. Integration savings should build through the back half, while price-pack architecture begins contributing.

Langhans said adjusted EBITDA was $184 million, or approximately 22.5% of revenues, compared with $210 million a year earlier, reflecting commodity pressure and brand investment.

CELH Q&A Points to a Gradual Q4 RecoveryA Stephens analyst pressed for the magnitude of a fourth-quarter CELSIUS recovery. Fieldly said improvement should build gradually as Celsius laps rationalization effects and gains better retail placement, rather than producing an immediate snapback.

Langhans said reported CELSIUS results will face a softer year-over-year comparison, while Alani must cycle a prior-year inventory build. Timing of 2027 innovation load-ins across Q4 and Q1 remains under planning with the DSD partner.

A Morgan Stanley analyst questioned delayed shelf-space gains. Langhans said timing ran behind initial expectations because cold fixtures required more labor and retailer investment, though July gains arrived and additional cold-space changes are planned for September and Q4.

Celsius Keeps Back-Half Focus on ExecutionLanghans framed the third quarter around service quality, network efficiency and moving more volume closer to retailers. He also said Celsius is adding merchandisers and sales representatives to improve in-stock execution.

Fieldly's broader posture remained centered on 2027, with renewed CELSIUS innovation, continued Alani expansion and a stabilized Rockstar platform shaping priorities coming out of the call.

CELH Zacks Signals Remain CautiousCELH currently carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell), with a Value Score of D, Growth Score of C, Momentum Score of F and VGM Score of D. Under the Zacks methodology, the rank reflects an unfavorable earnings-estimate revision trend, while the Style Scores sit below the preferred A or B range.

You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

With A ranking above B and lower grades less favorable, the Growth Score of C stands above the Value Score of D and Momentum Score of F, while the VGM Score of D keeps the combined style signal cautious for the one-to-three-month horizon. The Zacks Rank can change as analyst estimates are revised following the just-reported second-quarter results.

Zakladatel Rockstar Energy chce odvolat generálního ředitele Celsius
CELH Celsius Holdings

The billionaire founder of Rockstar Energy has purchased millions of shares of Celsius Holdings and is calling for the ouster of that company's CEO after its earnings miss this week.

Russ Savage now controls more than 12 million shares of Celsius, he told CNBC. Celsius markets its energy drinks to athletes and health-conscious consumers and has exploded in popularity in recent years.

Savage founded Rockstar in 2001 and sold it to PepsiCo in 2020 for a final purchase price of more than $4 billion, he said.

Savage's stake in Celsius amounts to roughly 4.7% of the company and would be worth about $300 million at current stock levels. While Savage has been quietly advising Celsius to change its cost structure and marketing strategy for over a year, he now says new leadership is needed.

"The CEO, the COO, the brand manager and the marketing manager all need to be fired," Savage told CNBC.

Celsius said in response that it is seeing continued demand and resilience across its base.

"We welcome ideas that are potentially value-creating from all Celsius Holdings shareholders," a company spokesperson said in a statement. "We remain focused on executing our total energy portfolio strategy to drive durable, long-term growth. Members of our Board and management team have engaged with Russ Savage many times over the past several years."

Celsius shares plunged 18% on Thursday after the company's second-quarter earnings missed analyst expectations, coming in at 36 cents per share versus the 43 cents expected by Wall Street, according to LSEG. Revenue of $817.9 million fell below the $870 million expected, and net income attributable to common shareholders fell by more than half compared to last year's second quarter.

On the company's earnings call, Celsius Chairman and CEO John Fieldly cited a product rationalization program and deliberate pause in innovation as main reasons for the shortfall. He said the company was managing the integration of Alani Nu, which it acquired last year for $1.8 billion, and of the Rockstar brand in the U.S. and Canada, which it acquired from Pepsi also last year as part of a long-term strategic partnership.

Pepsi continues to own the Rockstar brand internationally.

Fieldly said on the earnings call that the company may have been overly aggressive in reducing the number of products being sold to make way for newer lines. Still, he said, the company sells 1 out of every 5 energy drinks in the U.S., and the sector remains strong.

"We are a key growth driver for the energy category, and we are just beginning to unlock the full potential of our expanding portfolio," Fieldly said.

Savage, who was born Russell Weiner and started Rockstar with a $50,000 mortgage against his California condo, said he offered advice to Celsius over a year ago, but was largely ignored. He said Celsius has too many layers of management, with too many costs, and no real accountability.

"They need one person making the decisions, paying attention to every detail, not a group of people in a firing squad," he said.

Savage said the implication in the earnings call, that Celsius gave up shelf space to make way for its other brands, was a dire signal. In the fast-moving and hypercompetitive energy drink space, it's difficult for brands to reclaim shelf space once they've lost it, he said.

"Once you lose shelf space, you're dead," he said. "The chains will give it to Red Bull or Monster."

Savage said he's offering to take over as CEO before the problems become too deep to fix. When building Rockstar, he said, he managed every detail — from sales and marketing to sponsorships, packaging, distribution and innovation. He said the same type of cost-conscious, driven leader is needed at Celsius.

"I'm publicly volunteering to do it," he said. "The CEO has lost credibility with the investment community."

Savage said he's owned Celsius shares on and off for more than two years. He started acquiring his most recent stake in March, when the stock fell to the low $30 range. He said he bought the stock thinking it was undervalued and poised for a recovery. But he blamed what he called management missteps for the shares' continued decline.

"I didn't think they would wreck it this badly," he said. "Now I'm trying to help fix it."

Celsius stock now trades at about $27 per share after a sharp gain on Friday following CNBC's report of Savage's stake.

John Fieldly, Chairman and CEO of Celsius Holdings, said: “During the second quarter of 2026, we made meaningful progress in advancing Celsius Holdings as a scaled portfolio of leading brands. We delivered a double-digit increase in second quarter revenue, completed the Rockstar integration, and maintained gross margin near first-quarter levels despite a challenging commodity environment. With CELSIUS, Alani Nu, and Rockstar Energy, we're building a scaled Modern Energy portfolio with distinct roles, attracting new consumers and expanding consumption occasions. As it relates to our optimization project, we remain focused on improving assortment productivity and strengthening execution to return brand CELSIUS to sustainable growth. We are confident the actions we are taking will strengthen the brand, and with a broader, more diversified portfolio, we believe we are well positioned to drive durable, long-term growth. With two billion-dollar brands and roughly one in five energy drinks sold in the United States coming from our portfolio, we are a key growth engine for the category, and we're still early in what this platform can do.”

FINANCIAL AND MARKET HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2026

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, revenue totaled approximately $817.9 million—compared to $739.3 million for the prior-year period, representing growth of 10.6%. During the quarter, Alani Nu® generated sales of approximately $364.4 million, benefiting from strong consumer demand, increased orders from our largest customer as the brand transitioned into the PepsiCo distribution system, and the successful launch of the limited-time Purple Cotton Candy flavor. This growth was partially offset by the discontinuation of certain non-ready-to-drink energy products as well as a higher content of DSD versus direct sales, which results in higher trade investments and billbacks that reduce reported net revenue. Rockstar Energy® contributed approximately $66.5 million in revenue during the second quarter of 2026. CELSIUS® brand revenue decreased by approximately 11.7% in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same period last year, reflecting increased trade and promotional investment, shipment timing related to inventory rebalancing, softness in the club channel, a planned moderation in innovation activity during the period, and SKU optimization initiatives implemented in conjunction with the integration of our recent acquisitions and Alani Nu’s distribution transition.

CELSIUS brand international revenue totaled $27.2 million for the second quarter of 2026, representing a 10% increase compared to the same period in 2025, reflecting strong momentum across both our more established Nordic markets and our expansion markets, including Iberia, the UK, Ireland, France, Australia, New Zealand and Benelux.

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, gross profit increased by $12.8 million to $393.7 million, an increase of 3.4%, from $380.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Gross profit margin decreased to 48.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, from 51.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily driven by higher promotional and incentive activity as a percentage of revenue and channel mix. This decrease was partially offset by ongoing improvements from our integration of acquired businesses and the absence of inventory step-up expense in 2026 related to the Alani Nu acquisition.

In line with management expectations, second quarter gross margin remained consistent with the first quarter at approximately 48%, as improvements in outbound freight costs and continued integration of our recent acquisitions into our supply chain offset ongoing inflation in commodity costs, primarily aluminum.

Compared to the second quarter of 2025, underlying raw material COGS improved as we completed the Rockstar transition into our purchasing structure, with transition costs and COGS write-offs largely behind us. The initiatives expected to drive margin expansion over the remainder of the year—including our orbit model, freight optimization, raw material alignment, revenue growth-management capabilities, and mix improvement through price-pack architecture—continue to progress, although the benefits are being partially offset by rising commodity costs. As these initiatives continue to mature, we expect to increasingly realize the benefits of the platform we’ve built through the successful integration of our recent acquisitions.

During the second quarter of 2026, we executed disciplined capital allocation, including approximately $100.4 million of share repurchases, reflecting our confidence in the business and our focus on long-term shareholder value creation.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026, decreased $0.3 million, to $237.6 million from $237.9 million for the prior-year period, representing 29.0% of revenue compared to 32.2% for the same period in 2025. Adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses, represented 28.6% of revenue in the second quarter of 2026.2

Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2026 was $0.14 compared to $0.33 for the prior-year period. Non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2026 was $0.36 compared to $0.47 for the prior-year period.

Retail Performance

Retail sales of the Celsius Holdings portfolio (CELSIUS, Alani Nu and Rockstar Energy) in U.S. tracked channels increased 31.0% for the 13-week period ended June 28, 2026.3 Celsius Holdings held an approximate 20.1% dollar share3 in the U.S. RTD energy category for the period. The portfolio remained a key driver of category growth, contributing approximately 30% of the zero-sugar U.S. energy category’s $640 million growth during the second quarter of 2026.3

CELSIUS brand retail sales decreased 2% year over year for the 13-week period ended June 28, 2026,3 and the brand held an approximate 9.5% dollar share in the U.S. RTD energy category for the period.3 The retail sales primarily reflected the Company's SKU optimization initiatives and a planned moderation in innovation activity. The reduction in average SKUs took effect immediately, while the associated space gains are being realized over a longer period, as much of the targeted space gains consisted of cold vault and permanent cooler placements that require additional capital investment and labor at the retailer level. Despite approximately 7% fewer points of distribution, productivity of the remaining assortment improved, with dollars per point of distribution increasing approximately 16% in the second quarter compared to the first quarter.

Alani Nu retail sales increased 55.7% year over year for the 13-week period ended June 28, 2026,3 driven by continued innovation, expanded distribution and continued adoption by new consumers. The brand held an approximate 8.7% dollar share in the U.S. RTD energy category for the period3. Celsius Holdings acquired the Alani Nu brand on April 1, 2025.

Rockstar Energy retail sales decreased 13% year over year for the 13-week period ended June 28, 2026,3 and the brand held an approximate 1.9% dollar share in the U.S. RTD energy category for the period3. Celsius Holdings acquired the Rockstar Energy brand in the U.S. and Canada on Aug. 28, 2025.

FINANCIAL AND MARKET HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE FIRST HALF OF 2026

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, revenue totaled approximately $1,600.5 million—compared to $1,068.5 million for the prior-year period, representing growth of 49.8%. The increase reflected the acquisition of Rockstar Energy on Aug. 28, 2025, as well as the Alani Nu expansion into the PepsiCo distribution network. Alani Nu generated record sales of approximately $732.4 million during the first half of 2026, benefiting from strong consumer demand, increased orders from our largest distributor driven by the brand’s transition into the PepsiCo distribution system, and the continued success of our limited-time offerings. Rockstar Energy contributed approximately $133.1 million in revenue during the first half of 2026. CELSIUS brand revenue decreased approximately 4% compared to the prior-year period, reflecting increased trade and promotional investment, shipment timing related to inventory rebalancing, softness in the club channel, a planned moderation in innovation activity during the period, and SKU optimization initiatives implemented in conjunction with the integration of our recent acquisitions and Alani Nu’s distribution transition.

CELSIUS brand international revenue totaled $62.5 million for the first half of 2026, representing a 32% increase compared to the same period in 2025, driven by growth in the Nordics and continued momentum in our expansion markets including Iberia, the UK, Ireland, France, Australia, New Zealand and Benelux.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, gross profit increased by $218.5 million to $771.8 million from $553.2 million for the prior-year period. Gross profit margin was 48.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 51.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, reflecting higher fuel and commodity costs, more volume mix into our DSD system as well as costs associated with integrating our acquired businesses into our supply chain.

During the first half of 2026, we executed disciplined capital allocation, including approximately $124.5 million of share repurchases, reflecting our confidence in the business and our focus on long-term shareholder value creation.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026, increased $114.0 million, or 31.8%, to $472.2 million from $358.2 million for the prior-year period, representing 29.5% of revenue compared to 33.5% for the same period in 2025. Adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses, which excludes litigation costs and acquisition-related costs, represented 27.5% of revenue in the first half of 2026.4

Diluted earnings per share for the first half of 2026 was $0.47 compared to $0.48 for the prior-year period. Non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share for the first half of 2026 was $0.77 compared to $0.65 for the prior-year period.

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 and integration 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 and integration costs, penalties, and inventory step-up adjustment. Adjusted SG&A is GAAP SG&A adjusted for acquisition costs, distributor termination fees, penalties and certain legal accruals. Adjusted SG&A as a % of revenue is the ratio between Adjusted SG&A and net revenue. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted diluted earnings per share, Adjusted SG&A, and Adjusted SG&A as a percentage of revenue are non-GAAP financial measures.

Celsius uses Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted diluted earnings per share, Adjusted SG&A, and Adjusted SG&A as a percentage of revenue 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, Adjusted diluted earnings per share, Adjusted SG&A, and Adjusted SG&A as a percentage of revenue 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, Adjusted diluted earnings per share, Adjusted SG&A, and Adjusted SG&A as a percentage of revenue, 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, Adjusted diluted earnings per share, Adjusted SG&A, and Adjusted SG&A as a percentage of revenue 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, Adjusted diluted earnings per share. Adjusted SG&A, and Adjusted SG&A as percentage of revenue 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.

Key Takeaways Celsius Holdings' Q2 revenues are projected to rise 20.1% to $887.7 million. Distribution gains, shelf expansion and summer innovation likely supported energy drink volumes. Alani Nu and synergies may aid leverage, while higher input and freight costs pressure margins. Celsius Holdings, Inc. (CELH - Free Report) is likely to witness top-line growth when it reports second-quarter 2026 earnings on Aug. 6. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $887.7 million, indicating 20.1% growth from the year-ago period level.

The consensus mark for earnings has dipped by a penny over the past seven days to 42 cents a share, which suggests a decline of 10.6% from the figure reported in the year-ago period. CELH has a trailing four-quarter surprise of 58.1%, on average.

Factors Likely to Influence CELH’s Upcoming ResultsCelsius Holdings’ second-quarter results are likely to benefit from continued distribution gains and expanded shelf space across its energy drink portfolio. Retail resets were expected to progress through May and June, with increased cooler placements, additional points of sale and broader foodservice penetration likely to have supported volumes during the key summer selling season.

Innovation and brand activations may also have aided performance. CELSIUS entered a more active innovation phase with Electric Vibe, another summer limited-time offering and its 100 Days of Summer program. Partnerships across sports, music and culture may have helped strengthen consumer engagement, trial and retail takeaway.

Alani Nu is likely to have remained a key growth driver, supported by strong consumer demand, wider PepsiCo distribution and continued shelf-space expansion. The completed integration and realized synergies may also have supported operating leverage.

However, elevated aluminum, freight, fuel and resin costs could have weighed on gross margin and slowed the pace of margin recovery. Increased marketing investments across the summer selling period may also have limited operating-margin gains despite continued cost discipline and operating leverage. Rockstar remained in a stabilization phase, which may have constrained its near-term contribution.

Key Takeaways Celsius Holdings' first-quarter gross margin fell 400 basis points to 48.3%. Higher aluminum prices and freight costs added to near-term margin pressure. Celsius Holdings is targeting savings through sourcing, freight and procurement changes. Celsius Holdings, Inc. (CELH - Free Report) entered 2026 with a significantly expanded energy drink portfolio following the integrations of Alani Nu and Rockstar Energy. While these additions have increased the company's scale, they have also created near-term pressure on profitability as the lower-margin businesses continue to be integrated into Celsius Holdings' operating and purchasing structure.

Gross margin declined 400 basis points year over year to 48.3% in the first quarter of 2026 from 52.3%. The decline primarily reflected the addition of Alani Nu and Rockstar, both of which had lower margin profiles upon acquisition. However, the gross margin improved approximately 90 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2025 as the underlying raw material cost of goods sold improved and fourth-quarter COGS write-offs and transition costs largely rolled off.

The quarter also reflected several temporary cost pressures. Higher London Metal Exchange aluminum prices and Midwest aluminum premiums increased packaging costs, while severe winter weather in parts of the Northeast resulted in incremental freight and freeze-protection expenses. Additional freight costs were also incurred as Rockstar inventory was rebalanced across the distribution network.

To improve profitability, Celsius Holdings continues to advance several operational initiatives, including its orbit inventory model, freight structure optimization, raw material alignment across Alani Nu and Rockstar, direct sourcing and mix improvements through price-pack architecture. The company has also secured aluminum conversion costs and price locks on several ingredients and vitamins while expanding procurement coverage into future years.

Although commodity inflation remains a near-term challenge, several integration-related cost headwinds have begun to ease. Going forward, the timing of Celsius Holdings' margin recovery will largely depend on its ability to translate its ongoing supply chain, procurement and operational initiatives into sustainable cost savings while managing elevated input and freight costs.

Key Takeaways CELH is expanding beyond North America through a measured, partnership-led international strategy. International revenues rose 55% to $35.3M, driven by the Nordics and newer expansion markets. CELH launched in Spain through Suntory, with Portugal expected as the next European market. Celsius Holdings, Inc. (CELH - Free Report) is expanding its global footprint beyond North America through a measured, partnership-led strategy. International remains a smaller part of the business, but the latest quarter showed clear progress across both established markets and newer expansion regions.

International revenues increased 55% year over year to $35.3 million in the first quarter of 2026 from $22.7 million in the prior-year period. Growth was driven by the Nordics and continued momentum in expansion markets, including the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Australia, New Zealand and Benelux.

The company also advanced its European expansion with the launch of CELSIUS in Spain through an exclusive sales and distribution agreement with Suntory Beverage & Food Spain. Portugal is expected to be the next market in the European footprint, also through the Suntory partnership. This reflects Celsius’ focus on key markets, strong local partnerships, disciplined launch plans, and sustained marketing and distribution support.

The setup gives Celsius a longer international runway, especially as its global headquarters in Dublin is now in place to support deeper execution in existing markets and future market entries. However, the scale gap remains significant. International revenues of $35.3 million were still far below North America’s $747.3 million in the quarter, implying that the overseas business is growing quickly but from a much smaller base.

For now, CELH’s international strategy appears to be gaining traction, supported by growth in existing markets, the Spain launch and a planned Portugal entry through Suntory. Still, sustaining a 55% growth rate will depend on steady execution across current expansion markets and disciplined new-market rollouts.

CELH Stock Price Performance, Valuation & EstimatesShares of Celsius Holdings have tumbled 36.3% over the past year compared with the industry’s decline of 23.8%. The company currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
