Celsius Holdings reports Q3 adjusted EPS 42c, consensus 28c

Reports Q3 revenue $725.1M, consensus $715.7M. John Fieldly, Chairman and CEO of Celsius Holdings (CELH), said: “The third quarter marked another important step in Celsius Holdings’ transformation in a year full of growth catalysts. We strengthened our long-term partnership with PepsiCo and united CELSIUS, Alani Nu, and Rockstar Energy under one total energy portfolio. Combined, our brands grew nearly twice as fast as the U.S. energy drink category, driven by Alani Nu’s incredible momentum and improving trends for our core CELSIUS brand. Limited-time offerings across the portfolio also performed exceptionally well – support for our belief that innovation and consumer engagement continue to power our growth. With a broader portfolio, a deeper leadership bench, and the reach of PepsiCo’s system, we’re operating from a position of strength and staying focused on building sustainable growth for the long term.”
