Celsius surges on strong fourth-quarter revenue beat

Investing.com -- Celsius Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: CELH) reported fourth-quarter results that exceeded Wall Street expectations, sening its shares significantly higher premarket.

The company reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.26, beating the analyst estimate of $0.19 by $0.07. Revenue surged 117% to $721.6 million, topping the consensus estimate of $639.14 million and marking a significant increase from $332.2 million in the prior-year period.

The revenue growth was driven by the acquisitions of Alani Nu and Rockstar Energy, which contributed $370.0 million and $45.0 million respectively during the quarter. However, CELSIUS brand revenue declined approximately 8% compared to the same period last year due to temporary integration-related timing dynamics. The company noted these factors resulted in a short-term misalignment between shipments and promotional activity during the quarter and are not reflective of underlying retail demand trends. Shares jumped 17.8% following the announcement.

"2025 was a defining year for Celsius Holdings as we delivered record full-year revenue of $2.5 billion, underscoring the power of our brands and the strength of our growth model," said John Fieldly, Chairman and CEO.

For the full year 2025, revenue totaled $2,515.3 million, up 86% from $1,355.6 million in 2024. Adjusted diluted EPS for the year was $1.34 compared to $0.70 in the prior year.

Gross profit margin for the fourth quarter was 47.4%, down from 50.2% in the prior-year period, reflecting integration costs and higher product costs related to tariffs. The company expects margins to expand across 2026 and return to a normalized profile with gross margin percentages in the low 50s as integrations complete.

Retail sales of the Celsius Holdings portfolio in U.S. tracked channels increased 24.4% for the 13-week period ended Dec. 28, 2025, with the company holding approximately 20% dollar share in the U.S. energy category.
