The earnings call indicates strong financial performance with an 84% YoY revenue increase and record-high adjusted EBITDA. Despite a slight decline in gross margins, the company's cash position is robust, allowing for future growth. The Q&A reveals positive sentiment towards product innovation, international expansion, and marketing strategies. However, management's lack of specific guidance and potential margin pressures are concerns. Overall, the strong revenue growth and optimistic outlook, particularly with new product launches and market strategies, suggest a positive stock reaction over the next two weeks.
Revenue $739.3 million for Q2 2025, an 84% year-over-year increase. The increase was primarily driven by $301.2 million in revenue from the Alani Nu brand and $438.1 million from the Celsius brand.
Gross Margin 51.5% in Q2 2025, down 50 basis points year-over-year. The decrease was due to incorporating Alani Nu's lower-margin profile, but supported by favorable material costs, improved production yields, leverage gains through vertical integration, and strong product and channel mix.
Adjusted EBITDA Over $200 million in Q2 2025, a record high. This was driven by strong growth of Alani Nu and the pace of integration with Celsius Holdings' operations.
Net Income $99.6 million for Q2 2025, compared to $79.8 million in Q2 2024. Net income attributable to common shareholders was $85.7 million or $0.33 per diluted share, compared to $66.7 million or $0.28 per share last year.
Adjusted Diluted EPS $0.47 per share in Q2 2025, compared to $0.28 per share in Q2 2024.
