| BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation — The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual audited consolidated financial statements. In management's opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any future period or the full year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that is substantially consistent with the accounting principles applied in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “2023 Annual Report”). These consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the 2023 Annual Report. The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Specifically, Accounts payable and Accrued expenses were previously combined but are now presented as separate line items on the consolidated statements of cash flows. In accordance with Rule 4-08(k)(1), Rule 5-02, and Rule 5-03 of Regulation S-X, certain related party transactions previously disclosed in Note 12. Related Party Transactions , are now presented on the face of the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, and consolidated statements of cash flow for all periods presented. Common Stock Split — On November 13, 2023, the Company effected a three-for-one stock split to stockholders of record on such date (the "Forward Stock Split"). For clarity and consistency in financial reporting, all shares, restricted stock units, performance stock units, stock options, and per share amounts presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes have been retrospectively adjusted to account for the effects of the stock split for all periods presented. Significant Estimates — The preparation of consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, as well as disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include promotional allowances, the allowance for current expected credit losses, allowance for inventory obsolescence and sales returns, the useful lives of property and equipment, impairment of goodwill and intangibles, deferred taxes and related valuation allowance, and the valuation of stock-based compensation. Segment Reporting — Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities, maintain discrete financial information, and undergo regular review by the chief operating decision maker (the "CODM"), who is the Chief Executive Officer, to assess performance and allocate resources. Despite the Company's presence in several geographical regions, it operates as a single operating segment. The Company's operations and strategies are centrally designed and executed due to the substantial similarities among the geographical components. The CODM evaluates operating results and allocates resources primarily on a consolidated basis due to the significant economic interdependencies between the Company's geographical operations. As a result, the Company is managed as a single operating segment and has a single reportable segment. Concentrations of Risk — Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is derived from the sale of Celsius ® functional energy drinks and liquid supplements. Revenue from customers accounting for more than 10% of total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was as follows: For The Three Months Ended September 30, For The Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 2023 2024 2023 Pepsi 47.0 % 64.6 % 53.5 % 60.8 % Costco 14.9 % 8.9 % 12.2 % 11.4 % Amazon 10.2 % 5.8 % 9.3 % 7.4 % All others 27.9 % 20.7 % 25.0 % 20.4 % Total 100.0 % 100.0 % 100.0 % 100.0 % Accounts receivable from customers accounting for more than 10% of total accounts receivable at September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023 were as follows: September 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 Pepsi 55.3 % 69.0 % Amazon 11.3 % 5.9 % All others 33.4 % 25.1 % Total 100.0 % 100.0 % Cash Equivalents — The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company did not hold any instruments with original maturities exceeding three months. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk primarily include cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $903.2 million and $755.5 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit. Accounts Receivable and Current Expected Credit Losses — The Company is exposed to potential credit risks associated with its product sales and related accounts receivable, as it generally does not require collateral from its customers. The Company’s expected loss allowance methodology for accounts receivable is determined using historical collection experience, current and expected future economic and market conditions, an assessment of the current status of customers’ trade accounts receivables, and where available, an evaluation of the financial condition and credit ratings of larger customers, including credit reports. Customers are pooled based on common risk factors, and the Company reassesses these customer pools on a periodic basis. The allowance for credit losses is based on aging of the accounts receivable balances and estimated credit loss percentages. The Company estimates expected credit losses for its note receivable related to Qifeng Food Technology (Beijing) Co. Ltd ("Qifeng") by assessing credit risk using the probability of default and incorporating forward-looking information. The repayment, which was formalized via a note receivable from Qifeng (the "Note"), must be serviced even if the licensing agreement is canceled or terminated. The Note is denominated in Chinese-Yuan. Additionally, the Company reserves an allowance for the entire portion of this note that is not covered by the value of certain shares of Celsius Holdings, Inc. held in a brokerage account. See Note 7. Note Receivable for more information. Allowance for Expected Credit Losses Balance as of December 31, 2023 $ 3,137 Current period change for expected credit losses 4,244 Balance as of September 30, 2024 $ 7,381 Inventories — Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value with costs approximating those determined under the first-in, first-out method. Changes in the inventory reserve are included in cost of revenue. See Note 5. Inventories for more information. Deferred Costs — The Company deferred the excess of the Series A Shares' fair value over the proceeds received from Pepsi as part of the Distribution Agreement. These deferred costs are amortized over the twenty-year term of the agreement, aligning the recognition of the costs with the benefits derived from the agreement. Property and Equipment — Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, generally ranging from three . Property and Equipment for more information. Leases — The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 842, Leases ("ASC 842"). The Company leases office space, a warehouse and vehicles, both in the U.S. and internationally under operating and finance leases that expire at various dates through 2034. For new or modified agreements, the Company assesses whether an arrangement contains a lease by evaluating whether the Company obtains (1) the right to substantially all the economic benefits from the use of the asset and (2) the right to direct how and for what purpose the asset is used. If the arrangement contains a lease, the Company records a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially recognized based on the discounted future lease payments over the term of the lease. If the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the applicable incremental borrowing rate is used in calculating the present value of the lease payments. The Company has no residual value guarantees associated with its leases. The office space leases include both lease and non-lease components, such as shared operating costs that typically cover property expenses, including insurance, utilities, and maintenance. The Company elected the practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component in the calculation of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. Leases with terms of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. Long-Lived Assets — In accordance with ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment the Company reviews the carrying value of long-lived assets, which includes property and equipment-net, right-of-use assets, and definite-lived intangibles-net, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for a long-lived asset if its carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount is not considered recoverable when it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from use of the asset over its remaining useful life and final disposition. The Company did not record any impairment charges related to long-lived assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Long-Lived Asset Geographic Data — The following table sets forth long-lived asset information, which includes property and equipment-net, right-of-use assets, and definite-lived intangibles-net and excludes goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles, for individual countries that represent a significant portion of the total: September 30, December 31, North America $ 37,023 $ 24,316 Finland 11,930 12,153 Ireland 3,854 — Sweden 2,663 2,212 Other 30 29 Long-lived assets related to foreign operations 18,477 14,394 Total long-lived assets-net $ 55,500 $ 38,710 Other Current Liabilities — Other current liabilities primarily consist of various state beverage container deposits and VAT/GST payables. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, state beverage container deposits payables were $12.5 million and $10.1 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, VAT/GST payables were $2.0 million and $0.8 million, respectively. Other current liabilities, excluding these amounts totaled $0.5 million as of September 30, 2024, with no balance as of December 31, 2023. Deferred Revenue — The Company receives payments from certain distributors in new territories as reimbursement for contract termination costs paid to the prior distributors in those territories. Amounts received pursuant to these new or amended distribution agreements entered into with certain distributors relating to the costs associated with terminating the Company’s prior distributors are accounted for as deferred revenue and recognized ratably over the anticipated life of the respective new or amended distribution agreements. Revenue Recognition — The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied. Product sales occur once control is transferred based on the commercial terms of the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods. See Note 4. Revenue for more information. Cost of Revenue — Cost of revenue consists of the costs of raw materials, co-packing fees, repacking fees, inbound and outbound freight charges, certain internal transfer costs, warehouse expenses incurred prior to the manufacturing of the Company’s finished products, inventory allowance for excess and obsolete products, and certain quality control costs. Raw materials account for the largest portion of the cost of revenue. Raw materials include concentrates and liquid bases, cans, other containers, flavors, ingredients and packaging materials. Shipping and Handling Costs — Shipping and handling costs for freight charges on goods shipped are included in cost of revenue. Freight expense on goods shipped for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was approximately $9.8 million and $16.1 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred freight expenses on goods shipped of approximately $38.2 million and $45.2 million, respectively. Advertising Costs — Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and charged to selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company mainly uses targeted marketing initiatives, such as sporting events, print, radio, and television advertising, alongside direct sponsorships and endorsements. The Company incurred advertising costs of approximately $64.4 million and $46.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred advertising costs of approximately $170.3 million and $114.2 million, respectively. Research and Development — Research and development costs are charged to selling, general and administrative expenses as incurred and consist primarily of consulting fees, raw material usage and test production of beverages. The Company incurred expenses of approximately $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred research and development expenses of approximately $0.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively. Foreign Currency Gain/Loss — The Company’s foreign subsidiaries’ functional currencies are either the local currencies of the countries where operations are located or the U.S. dollar. The Company’s foreign subsidiaries remeasure their assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies on a periodic basis, and the gain or loss from these adjustments related to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates is included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income as foreign exchange gain (loss). For the three months ended September 30, 2024 foreign exchange gain was $0.3 million compared to a foreign exchange loss of $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized net foreign exchange loss of $0.4 million compared to a an exchange loss of $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Foreign Currency Translation — The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars, which is the Company's reporting currency, using current exchange rates. Translation gains and losses, as well as exchange gains and losses on intercompany balances of a long-term investment nature, are included in other comprehensive income (loss) as foreign currency translation adjustments, net of income tax. The Company experienced a foreign currency translation net gain for the three months ended September 30, 2024 of $2.0 million and a net loss of $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The Company incurred a foreign currency translation net gain of $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and a net loss $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The Company's operations in different countries required that it primarily transacted in the following currencies: Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Chinese Yuan, Euro, Hong Kong Dollar, New Zealand Dollar, Pound Sterling, and Swedish Krona Fair Value of Financial Instruments — ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement ("ASC 820") defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below: Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. Level 3: Unobservable inputs, which rely on the reporting entity’s assumptions when there is little or no market data. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, other current liabilities, note receivable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities and market interest rates. Income Taxes — The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes . This approach requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes, and recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected future tax consequences stemming from temporary differences between asset and liability carrying amounts and their tax bases. A valuation allowance is established to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more-likely-than-not that the net deferred asset will not be realized. Earnings per Share — The Company computes earnings per share ("EPS") in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share (“ASC 260”), which requires that basic earnings per share of common stock are computed by dividing income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. It also requires companies with different classes of stock (e.g., common stock and participating preferred stock) to calculate EPS using the two-class method. The two-class method is an allocation of earnings (distributed and undistributed) between the holders of common stock and a company’s participating preferred stockholders. Under the two-class method, earnings for the reporting period are allocated between common stockholders and other security holders based on their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Company also computes diluted EPS, which accounts for the impact of potentially dilutive securities on EPS. Dilutive EPS includes the effect of all potentially dilutive shares of common stock that were outstanding during the period. Such dilutive securities may include restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance stock units ("PSUs"), stock options, and convertible preferred stock. For the computation of diluted EPS, the numerator is adjusted for the reallocation of earnings to participating securities, reflecting the impact of potentially dilutive securities. The denominator is adjusted to include the weighted average number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive shares of common stock had been issued. See Note 3. Earnings per Share for more information. Stock-Based Compensation — The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation ("ASC 718") and related interpretations. Stock-based compensation cost is measured on the date of grant based on the fair value of the stock awards. The costs are recognized, over the respective vesting periods of the grants. See Note 15. Stock-Based Compensation for more information. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses — Selling, general and administrative expenses include various operating expenses such as warehousing costs after manufacturing, expenses for advertising, samplings and in-store demonstrations, costs for merchandise displays, point-of-sale materials and premium items, sponsorship expenses, other marketing expenses and design expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include costs such as payroll costs, travel costs, professional service fees (including legal fees), depreciation and other selling, general and administrative costs. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures . This standard enhances segment reporting requirements, necessitating detailed disclosures on key segment expenses and other items, including segment profit or loss measures. It also mandates that companies with a single reportable segment provide comprehensive disclosures. The effective date is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods in fiscal years after December 15, 2024, with retrospective application to all periods presented. The Company expects ASU 2023-07 to impact only disclosures with no effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures , introducing changes to income tax disclosures, primarily relating to effective tax rates and cash paid for taxes. This ASU requires companies to provide an annual rate reconciliation in both dollar figures and percentages, and changes the way annual income taxes paid are disclosed by all entities, necessitating a breakdown by federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions. The standard becomes effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Prospective application is permitted. The Company expects ASU 2023-09 to impact only disclosures with no effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. |
