Celsius delivered record revenue and a return to strong profitability, but shrinking gross margin and a declining core CELSIUS brand show the integration story is still a work in progress.
Celsius's portfolio held ~20.7% dollar share of the U.S. RTD energy category and contributed ~28% of the zero-sugar category's $773M growth, underscoring its scale in a consolidating energy-drink market.
Gross margin pressure from aluminum and fuel inflation plus higher DSD mix is the key near-term risk; CELSIUS brand revenue declined ~6% on SKU optimization and club-channel softness.
