Celsius (NASDAQ:CELH) Posts Quarterly Earnings Results, Beats Expectations By $0.12 EPS

Celsius (NASDAQ:CELH) issued its earnings results on Thursday. The company reported $0.41 earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, beating analysts’ consensus estimates of $0.29 by $0.12, FiscalAI reports. The firm had revenue of $782.62 million during the quarter, compared to analyst estimates of $763.08 million. Celsius had a net margin of 4.29% and a return on equity of 37.68%. The business’s revenue was up 137.7% on a year-over-year basis. During the same period in the previous year, the firm earned $0.18 earnings per share.

Here are the key takeaways from Celsius’ conference call:

• Record Q1 revenue of $783 million and portfolio dollar share reached 20.9% (4 weeks ending April 12), meaning roughly one in five U.S. energy drinks in tracked channels is a Celsius portfolio product.
• Completed the Alani Nu integration and captured approximately $50 million of synergies; Alani reported net sales of $368 million in Q1 (pro forma growth ~60% YoY; scanner growth ~85–100%).
• Profitability strengthened with GAAP net income of $110 million, adjusted EBITDA of $195 million and adjusted EBITDA margin of 24.9%, and management reiterates a path toward low‑50s gross margin over time.
• Company flagged rising input costs — notably the LME and Midwest aluminum premium, plus elevated freight — saying sustained commodity pressure could delay the timing of margin expansion back to the low‑50s.
• Returned capital via buybacks — repurchased ~700,000 shares for $24.1 million in Q1 and have ~$236.1 million remaining under the $300 million repurchase authorization.
