Is Celsius Holdings' Strong 1H25 Revenue Growth Built to Last?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
Celsius reported $1.07 billion in first-half 2025 revenues, up 41% year over year.
Alani Nu added $301.2M in second-quarter sales, boosting Celsius' portfolio scale.
Management targets $50 million in savings but warns of rising aluminum costs.
Celsius Holdings, Inc. (CELH - Free Report) turned in a strong first half of 2025, reporting $1.07 billion in revenues, up 41% from last year. The second quarter alone brought in $739.3 million, with $301.2 million coming from the newly acquired Alani Nu brand. This kind of growth is eye-catching, but the bigger question is whether it can last.
Per the second-quarter 2025 earnings release, Celsius Holdings’ products are now sold in more than 240,000 tracked U.S. retail outlets, and the company’s portfolio reaches about 43% of U.S. households. Repeat purchases remain strong, and both Celsius and Alani Nu stood out during Amazon Prime Day with leading shares in online energy drink sales. New flavors and limited-time offers helped fuel momentum, showing that consumer demand is broad and consistent. Management also outlined a $50 million cost-savings target from integrating Alani Nu.
However, Alani Nu’s margin profile is lower than Celsius’, and the second quarter of 2025 included a $21.7 million non-cash inventory adjustment associated with the acquisition. Management also warned of aluminum cost inflation and tariffs weighing on the second half.
The first half growth story is strong, driven by wide distribution and consumer enthusiasm. While the revenue gains look promising, it depends on whether Celsius can turn scale and consumer momentum into consistent, profitable results.
Assessing Revenue Trends Among Key Competitors
Monster Beverage Corporation (MNST - Free Report) posted strong first-half 2025 growth, with net sales up 4.4% to $3.97 billion and second-quarter revenues climbing 11.1% to $2.11 billion. Monster Beverage’s revenue growth was fueled by pricing actions, supply-chain efficiencies and continued product innovation, particularly in the Monster Energy and Strategic Brands portfolios. International demand also played a key role, with sales outside the United States reaching 41% of total revenues. While innovation and category expansion underpin Monster Beverage’s momentum, sustaining double-digit growth may hinge on continued global energy drink adoption.
The Coca-Cola Company (KO - Free Report) delivered flat first-half net revenues of $23.7 billion while achieving 5% organic growth. In the second quarter of 2025, net revenues rose 1% to $12.5 billion, driven by a 6% price/mix benefit despite a 1% volume decline. Strong pricing, coupled with targeted marketing and innovation campaigns, has supported KO’s revenue expansion. Coca-Cola’s growth appears robust, though ongoing volume softness may act as a constraint.
