Celsius Holdings Q1 2026 Earnings: Revenue Surges on Alani Nu, Rockstar Deals

May 7, 2026 · Published August 7, 2026

Celsius Holdings' revenue more than doubled to $782.6M and profit rose sharply, fueled by the Alani Nu and Rockstar acquisitions, though integration costs pressured margins.

Figures as reported by the company to the SEC for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Analyst estimates are not part of a filing, so no comparison to expectations is shown.

Key takeaways

• Quarterly revenue rose 138% from a year earlier, reaching $782.6 million, as the company’s recent acquisitions of energy-drink brands Alani Nu and Rockstar began contributing a full quarter of sales alongside Celsius’s existing lineup.
• Net income climbed to $85.1 million, up 147% from the same quarter last year, and per-share earnings of $0.33 were more than double the $0.15 reported a year earlier.
• Alani Nu, the women’s-focused energy drink brand Celsius bought last year, posted record quarterly sales of about $368.1 million, helped by strong demand and a move into PepsiCo’s distribution network, which got the brand’s products onto more store shelves.
• Gross margin — the share of each sales dollar left after production costs — narrowed to roughly 48.3% for the quarter from about 52.3% a year ago, as the company absorbed one-time costs from integrating Alani Nu and Rockstar into its operations.
• Looking further back, the company’s trailing-twelve-month gross margin stands at about 49.6% and its net profit margin at 5.85%, reflecting that the acquisitions have diluted per-dollar profitability even as overall sales and earnings have grown sharply.
• Management said it expects gross margin to stay roughly flat in the current quarter before improving in the second half of the year, as freight costs, raw-material sourcing and the Alani Nu supply chain are further streamlined.
• The company said it has captured about $50 million in cost savings from combining operations with Alani Nu and expects the brand’s shelf space to more than double across retail channels, with most store resets completed by the end of May.
• Expanded partnerships with PepsiCo in the U.S. and Suntory in Europe were cited as additional distribution drivers behind the quarter’s sales growth.
