Acquisitions Fuel 138% Revenue Surge as Celsius Holdings Beats Q1 Expectations
Summary
Celsius Holdings reported robust Q1 revenue of $783 million, marking a 138% year-over-year increase and significantly surpassing analyst estimates of $766.76 million. Adjusted diluted EPS also saw a substantial 128% year-over-year growth. This strong performance was primarily driven by the successful integration and contribution of the Alani Nu and Rockstar Energy acquisitions, which together added over $434 million in Q1 sales, and benefited from Alani Nu's move into the PepsiCo distribution system. The company also repurchased $24.1 million of shares during the quarter. This positive Q1 outcome reinforces the growth trajectory established in full-year 2025, which was also propelled by strategic acquisitions and the Pepsi partnership. Traders will view this as a strong indicator of continued operational success and effective growth strategies. The company anticipates further growth from ongoing integration efforts and expects margin expansion in 2026.
