Michael Kirban, the Company's Co-Founder and Executive Chairman, stated, "I am very proud of our team and our solid second quarter performance. The coconut water category continues to be one of the fastest growing categories in the beverage aisle, with Vita Coco Coconut Water maintaining strong retail sales growth rates in the United States and our core international markets. For the quarter, Vita Coco Coconut Water net sales grew 25% globally with Americas growing 22% and International growing 43%. We believe this growth is being fueled by our investment as the category leader in these focus markets, driving increased household adoption and new consumption occasions. Together with the benefits of a stronger inventory position compared to last year, I believe we are well positioned for continued growth and I am excited for the balance of 2025 and beyond."

Martin Roper, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our exceptionally strong shipment performance in the second quarter benefited from very strong demand for Vita Coco Coconut Water, and great execution from our teams, despite economic uncertainty. Our increased full year net sales expectations are based on delivering high teens Vita Coco Coconut Water growth, and the national roll out of Vita Coco Treats in the U.S., which started late first quarter, partially offset by a decrease in private label sales. Our branded inventory position is healthy and should support an active level of promotional activity in the balance of the year."

Second Quarter 2025 Consolidated Results

Net sales increased $25 million, or 17%, to $169 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to $144 million in the prior year period. The increase in net sales was driven by strong growth in Vita Coco Coconut Water case equivalent ("CE") volumes and growth in the Other category driven by the U.S. rollout of Vita Coco Treats, partially offset by reduced private label sales.

Gross profit increased to $61 million, from $59 million in the prior year period. The increase was driven by higher CE volume partially offset by the decreased gross margin. Gross margin was 36% compared to 41% in the prior year period. The decrease in gross margin resulted from higher year-on-year ocean freight rates, finished goods product costs, and import tariffs, partially offset by branded coconut water pricing and favorable product mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $36 million, compared to $29 million in the prior year period. The increase was largely due to increased marketing investment, personnel-related expenses, increased reserves for bad debt and increased rent.

Net income was $23 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, compared to net income of $19 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, in the prior year period. Net income benefited from increased gross profit, gains on mark to market adjustments on derivative instruments and a decrease in the effective tax rate, partially offset by higher year on year SG&A spending.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA¹ was $29.2 million, compared to $32.2 million in the prior year period primarily due to higher SG&A spending partially offset by the increased gross profit.

Balance Sheet

As of June 30, 2025, the Company's financial position remained strong with no debt and cash and cash equivalents of $167 million, up slightly from $165 million to start the year. Our inventory levels remained healthy at $84 million, similar to December 31, 2024 levels. Accounts receivable increased to $103 million from $63 million as of December 31, 2024 primarily due to increased net sales.

On October 30, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") approved a share repurchase program (the "Repurchase Program") authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $40 million of the Company's common stock. On April 28, 2025, the Board approved an additional $25.0 million for the Repurchase Program, increasing the authorized limit to $65.0 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 the Company repurchased shares of its common stock for a total of $10.1 million year-to-date. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had approximately $42.1 million remaining on the authorized limit of the Repurchase Program.

Fiscal Year 2025 Full Year Outlook

The Company is updating its full year 2025 guidance, which includes the expected impact of the current applicable tariff rates and the Company's anticipated mitigation actions. However, it does not include the potential impact of additional tariffs beyond the 10% baseline level, that have been announced but not yet been implemented.

• Net sales expected to be between $565 million and $580 million, with projected Vita Coco Coconut Water growth of high teens and the planned benefit of Vita Coco Treats rollout, and branded price increases, partially offset by increased promotional activity and softness in private label.
• Gross margin expected to be approximately 36% with expected higher average transportation costs and increased finished goods costs versus 2024, and the impact of 10% baseline tariffs, partially offset by planned net pricing increases and a higher mix of branded volumes versus private label.
• SG&A expenses expected to increase low to mid-single digits versus 2024.
• Adjusted EBITDA¹ expected to be in the range of $86 million to $92 million.

Uncertainty and instability of the current operating environment, geopolitical landscape, and global economies, including changes in tariff rates, associated potential competitive pricing actions and our own price elasticity, could affect this outlook and our future results.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to disclosing results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company also discloses certain non-GAAP results of operations, including, but not limited to, Adjusted EBITDA, that include certain adjustments or exclude certain charges and gains that are described in the reconciliation table of U.S. GAAP to non-GAAP information provided at the end of this release. These non-GAAP measures are a key metric used by management and our board of directors to assess our financial performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance and because we believe it is useful for investors to see the measures that management uses to evaluate the Company. In addition, we believe the presentation of these measures is useful to investors for period-to-period comparisons of results as the items described below in the reconciliation tables do not reflect ongoing operating performance.

These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, U.S. GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate such measures differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure. Investors should not rely on any single financial measure when evaluating our business. This information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute for our operating results in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We recommend investors review the U.S. GAAP financial measures included in this earnings release. When viewed in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations, we believe these non-GAAP measures provide greater transparency and a more complete understanding of factors affecting our business than U.S. GAAP measures alone.
