1.ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Business Overview
Celsius Holdings, Inc. (the “Company,” “Celsius Holdings” or “Celsius”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 26, 2005.
Celsius is a fast-growing company in the functional energy drink category in the United States (“U.S.”) and internationally. The Company engages in the development, processing, marketing, sale, and distribution of functional energy drinks to a broad range of consumers. Celsius provides differentiated products that offer clinically proven and innovative formulas meant to positively impact the lives of its consumers. The Company's brand has also proven to be attractive to a broad range of customers, including fitness enthusiasts.
The Company's flagship asset, CELSIUS®, is marketed as a premium lifestyle and energy drink formulated to power active lifestyles with ESSENTIAL ENERGY TM. This product line comes in two versions, a 12-ounce ready-to-drink form and an on-the-go powder form. The Company also offers a CELSIUS® Essentials line, available in 16-ounce cans. Celsius products are currently offered in major retail channels across the U.S., including conventional grocery, natural, convenience, fitness, mass market, vitamin specialty and e-commerce. Additionally, the Company's products are currently offered in certain Canadian, European, Middle Eastern and Asia-Pacific markets.
Agreements with PepsiCo Inc.
On August 1, 2022, the Company entered into multiple agreements with PepsiCo Inc. (“Pepsi”), including a long-term agreement that resulted in Pepsi becoming the primary distribution supplier for Celsius products in the U.S. (the “Distribution Agreement”). Under this agreement, the Company granted Pepsi a right of first offer in the event the Company intends to manufacture, distribute or sell products in certain additional countries or channels during the term of the agreement.
In connection with entering into the foregoing agreements, the Company issued and sold to Pepsi approximately 1.5 million shares of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A” or “Series A Preferred Stock”) in exchange for cash proceeds of $550 million, excluding transaction costs. For additional information regarding the Company's agreements with Pepsi, see Note 4. Revenue, Note 11. Related Party Transactions, and Note 12. Mezzanine Equity.
2.BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation — The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any future period or the full year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that is substantially consistent with the accounting principles applied in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “2023 Annual Report”). These consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the 2023 Annual Report. The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period's presentation in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. Specifically, Accounts payable and Accrued expenses were previously combined and are now presented as separate line items located in the consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Common Stock Split — On November 13, 2023, the Company effected a three-for-one stock split to stockholders of record on such date (the "Forward Stock Split"). For clarity and consistency in financial reporting, all shares, restricted stock units, performance stock units, stock options, and per share amounts presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and these notes have been retrospectively adjusted to account for the effects of the stock split for all periods presented.

(Tabular dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
Significant Estimates — The preparation of consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include promotional allowance, the allowance for current expected credit losses, allowance for inventory obsolescence and sales returns, the useful lives of property and equipment, impairment of goodwill and intangibles, deferred taxes and related valuation allowance, and the valuation of stock-based compensation.
Segment Reporting — Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities, maintain discrete financial information, and undergo regular review by the chief operating decision maker (the "CODM"), who is the Chief Executive Officer, to assess performance and allocate resources.
Despite the Company's presence in several geographical regions, it operates as a single operating segment. The Company's operations and strategies are centrally designed and executed due to the substantial similarities among the geographical components. The CODM evaluates operating results and allocates resources primarily on a consolidated basis due to the significant economic interdependencies between the Company's geographical operations. As a result, the Company is managed as a single operating segment and has a single reportable segment.
Concentrations of Risk — Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is derived from the sale of Celsius® functional energy drinks and liquid supplements.
Revenue from customers accounting for more than 10% of total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was as follows:

The net assets of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates. The Company's foreign subsidiaries perform remeasurements of their assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies on a periodic basis, and the gain or loss from these adjustments related to the fluctuations in foreign exchange rates versus the U.S. dollar are included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income as foreign exchange gain (loss). For the three months ended June 30, 2024 foreign exchange loss was approximately $0.3 million versus foreign exchange loss of $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized net foreign exchange loss of $0.6 million versus an exchange loss of approximately $1.0 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments — ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement ("ASC 820") defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:

Level 1: | Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: | Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: | Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, other current liabilities, note receivable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to their relative short-term maturity and market interest rates.

Income Taxes — The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. This approach requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes, and recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected future tax consequences stemming from temporary differences between asset and liability carrying amounts and their tax bases.
A valuation allowance is established to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more-likely-than-not that the net deferred asset will not be realized.
Earnings per Share — The Company computes earnings per share ("EPS") in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share (“ASC 260”), which requires that basic earnings per share of common stock are computed by dividing income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. It also requires companies with different classes of stock (e.g., common stock and participating preferred stock) to calculate EPS using the two-class method. The two-class method is an allocation of earnings (distributed and undistributed) between the holders of common stock and a company’s participating preferred stockholders. Under the two-class method, earnings for the reporting period are allocated between common stockholders and other security holders based on their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings.
The Company also computes diluted EPS, which accounts for the impact of potentially dilutive securities on EPS. Dilutive EPS includes the effect of all potentially dilutive shares of common stock that were outstanding during the period. Such dilutive securities may include RSUs, PSUs, options, and convertible preferred stock. For the computation of diluted EPS, the numerator is adjusted for the reallocation of earnings to participating securities, reflecting the impact of potentially dilutive securities. The denominator is adjusted to include the weighted average number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive shares of common stock had been issued. See Note 3. Earnings per Share for more information.
Stock-Based Compensation — The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation ("ASC 718") and related interpretations. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at the fair value of the share-based payments. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the grants. See Note 14. Stock-Based Compensation for more information.
Cost of Revenue — Cost of revenue consists of the costs of raw materials, which includes concentrates and liquid bases, co-packing fees, repacking fees, in-bound and out-bound freight charges, certain internal transfer costs, warehouse expenses incurred prior to the manufacturing of the Company’s finished products, inventory allowance for excess and obsolete products, and certain quality control costs. Raw materials account for the largest portion of the cost of revenue. Raw materials include cans, other containers, flavors, ingredients and packaging materials.
Shipping and Handling Costs — Shipping and handling costs for freight charges on goods shipped are included in cost of revenue. Freight expense on goods shipped for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was approximately $14.2 million and $14.9 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred freight expenses on goods shipped of approximately $28.4 million and $29.1 million, respectively.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses — Selling, general and administrative expenses include various operating expenses such as warehousing costs after manufacturing, expenses for advertising, samplings and in-store demonstrations, costs for merchandise displays, point-of-sale materials and premium items, sponsorship expenses, other marketing expenses and design expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include costs such as payroll costs, travel costs, professional service fees (including legal fees), depreciation and other selling, general and administrative costs.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, introducing changes to income tax disclosures, primarily relating to effective tax rates and cash paid for taxes. This ASU requires companies to provide an annual rate reconciliation in both dollar figures and percentages, and changes the way annual income taxes paid are disclosed by all entities, necessitating a breakdown by federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions. The standard is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Prospective application is permitted. The Company expects ASU 2023-09 to impact only disclosures with no effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
3.EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company’s Series A Preferred Stock is classified as a participating security in accordance with ASC 260. Net income allocated to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock is based on the Series A stockholders’ proportionate share of weighted average shares of common stock outstanding on an if-converted basis.
For purposes of determining diluted earnings per common share, basic earnings per common share was adjusted to include the effect of potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. These potentially dilutive shares include unvested restricted stock and performance-based stock units. The more dilutive of the two-class method or the treasury method is used for this adjustment. Additionally, Series A Preferred Stock is included using the if-converted method.
Under the two-class method, net income is reallocated to common stock, the Series A Preferred Stock, and all potentially dilutive securities based on the contractual participating rights of the respective securities to share in the current earnings as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed.

For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, 22.0 million potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share related to common stockholders, as their effect was antidilutive.
4.REVENUE
The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied. The primary performance obligation is the promise to sell finished products to customers, including distributors, wholesalers, and retailers. Product sales occur once control or title is transferred based on the commercial terms of the applicable agreements with customers, and traditionally such agreements do not allow for a right of return. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods. Product sales are recorded net of variable consideration, such as provisions for returns, discounts and allowances. Such provisions are calculated using historical averages and adjusted for any expected changes due to current business conditions. Consideration given to customers for cooperative advertising is recognized as a reduction of revenue except to the extent that there is a distinct good or service, in which case the expense is classified as selling, general and administrative expenses, in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The amount of consideration the Company receives and revenue the Company recognizes varies with changes in incentives the Company offers to its customers and their customers.
Information about the Company’s net sales by geographical location for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:

These agreements provide for one or more of the arrangements described below and are of varying duration. The Company’s billbacks are calculated based on various programs with distributors and retail customers, and accruals are established for the Company’s anticipated liabilities. These accruals are based on agreed upon terms as well as the Company’s historical experience with similar programs and require management’s judgment with respect to estimating consumer participation and distributor and retail customer performance levels.

Under the Distribution Agreement, the Company granted Pepsi the right to sell and distribute its existing beverage products in existing channels and distribution methods and future beverage products that are added from time to time as licensed products under the Distribution Agreement in the Territory. The Distribution Agreement represents a master service agreement and can be cancelled by either party without cause in the nineteenth year of the term (i.e., 2041), the twenty-ninth year of the term (i.e., 2051) and in each 10 th year thereafter (i.e., 2061, 2071, etc.) by providing 12 months’ written notice to the other party on August 1 st of the year preceding the year of termination. Except for a termination by the Company “with cause” or a termination by Pepsi “without cause,” (each as defined in the Distribution Agreement), the Company is required to pay Pepsi certain compensation upon a termination as specified in the Distribution Agreement.
The Company agreed to provide Pepsi a right of first offer in the event the Company intends to (i) manufacture, distribute or sell products in certain additional countries as specified in the Distribution Agreement or (ii) distribute or sell products in any future channels and distribution methods during the term of the Distribution Agreement. Pepsi agreed to meet and confer in good faith with the Company regarding the terms and conditions upon which Pepsi may be willing to sell or distribute the Company's products, either directly or through local sub-distributors in certain other additional countries. The Distribution Agreement includes other customary provisions, including non-competition covenants in favor of the Company, representations and warranties, indemnification provisions, insurance provisions and confidentiality provisions. In the fourth quarter of 2023, under the terms of the Distribution Agreement, the Company and Pepsi agreed to extend distribution to the Canadian market, which commenced in January of 2024 with Pepsi serving as the exclusive distributor.
On August 1, 2022, the Company and Pepsi executed a transition agreement providing for the Company’s transition of certain existing distribution rights in the Territory to Pepsi (the “Transition Agreement”). Under the terms of the Transition Agreement, Pepsi agreed to pay the Company up to $250 million in multiple tranches to facilitate the Company’s transition of certain distribution rights to Pepsi. The Company received $227.8 million from Pepsi that were contractually restricted to be used only to pay termination fees due to other distributors; any excess cash received over amounts due to other distributors was required to be refunded to Pepsi. During 2023, $38.3 million of such funds were refunded to Pepsi. As of December 31, 2023, there was no refund liability owed to Pepsi.
On March 23, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Distribution Agreement with Pepsi, pursuant to which the Company will provide Pepsi with an incentive program designed to incentivize and compensate Pepsi for its continued focus on and actions to support the Company. These incentives are accounted for as promotional allowances and recorded as a reduction to revenue.
License Agreement
In January 2019, the Company entered into a license and repayment of investment agreement with Qifeng. Under the agreement, Qifeng was granted the exclusive license rights to manufacture, market and commercialize Celsius branded products in China. The term of the agreement is 50 years, with annual royalty fees due from Qifeng after the end of each calendar year. The royalty fees are based on a percentage of Qifeng’s sales of Celsius branded products; however, the fees are fixed for the first five years of the agreement, totaling approximately $6.9 million combined, and then are subject to annual guaranteed minimums over the remaining term of the agreement.

Under the agreement, the Company granted Qifeng exclusive license rights and provides ongoing support in product development, brand promotion and technical expertise. The ongoing support is integral to the exclusive license rights; therefore, the license and the support represent a combined, single performance obligation. The transaction price consists of the guaranteed minimums and the variable royalty fees, all of which are allocated to the single performance obligation.
The Company uses the passage of time to measure progress towards satisfying its performance obligation because of its ongoing efforts in providing the exclusive license rights, including providing continuous access, updates and support, to product development, brand promotion and technical expertise.

In addition to the license agreement, Qifeng agreed to repay, over a five-year period, the marketing investments made by Celsius into the China market through 2018. The repayment, which was formalized via a note receivable from Qifeng (the "Note"), must be serviced even if the licensing agreement is cancelled or terminated. The Note is denominated in Chinese-Yuan.
The Note required annual principal and interest payments on March 31 of each year, with the final payment scheduled for 2024. In February 2024, the Company amended the Note and extended the final maturity date to December 31, 2024. The Note is recorded at amortized cost. Interest income generated from the Note is contained in the financial statement line item Interest income on note receivable in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
The Company assesses the Note for impairment at each reporting period. This evaluation considers the probability that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled principal and interest payments based on historical experience of Qifeng’s ability to pay, the current economic environment, forward-looking information and other factors. As evidence of solvency for the Note, a stock certificate in Celsius Holdings, Inc. which amounts to 60,000 shares owned by an affiliate under common control of Qifeng is being held at a brokerage account. A letter of guarantee was executed with several restrictions regarding their shares. In particular, it was agreed that the stock would not be sold or transferred without the prior written consent from Celsius. There are other

restrictions and agreements, which include that a statement of account will be provided to Celsius on a quarterly basis to confirm and validate the existence of the remaining shares.

11.RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Transactions with Pepsi
As further described in Note 12. Mezzanine Equity, on August 1, 2022, the Company issued approximately 1.5 million shares of non-voting Series A Preferred Stock to Pepsi. The shares accounted for approximately 8.5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock on the date of issuance, on an if-converted method.

12.MEZZANINE EQUITY
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has designated and authorized 1,466,666 shares of Series A Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.001 per share and a stated value of $375.00 per share. The stated value per share may be increased from time to time in the event dividends on the Series A are paid-in-kind (“PIK dividends”) pursuant to the Series A Certification of Designation (the “Series A Certificate”). On August 1, 2022, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued all of the authorized Series A Preferred Stock to Pepsi for stated cash consideration aggregating $550 million, excluding issuance costs. The Series A Preferred Stock was issued concurrently with the execution of the Distribution Agreement and the Transition Agreement. The Company determined that the aggregate fair value of the Series A Preferred Stock on the issuance date was $832.5 million, or $567.61 per share. Accordingly, the Series A Preferred Stock was recorded at that amount, net of issuance costs of $8.0 million, in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, and consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity and mezzanine equity.
The Company engaged a third-party valuation firm to assist in determining the fair value of the approximately 1.5 million shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued on August 1, 2022. The valuation of the Series A Preferred Stock represents a non-recurring fair value measurement. The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the fair value of the Series A Preferred Stock on August 1, 2022. The Monte Carlo simulation utilized multiple level 2 input variables to determine the value of the Series A Preferred Stock including a volatility rate of 45%, risk free interest rate of 2.69%, 5.0% dividend rate, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the issuance date of $98.87, (pre-split), a debt discount rate of 12.5% and a discount for lack of marketability attributed to the registration period of the underlying stock. The selected historical volatility was based on Celsius and a certain peer group. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. STRIPS Rate with a corresponding term as of issuance date. The 5.0% dividend rate is consistent with the provisions of the Series A Preferred Stock and with the Company’s past payments of dividends made in cash. The debt discount rate was based on estimated credit analysis and corresponding market yields as of the issuance date. The Company applied a nominal discount for lack of marketability with respect to the assumed registration period of the underlying shares.

Mezzanine Classification
The Series A Preferred Stock is redeemable in the event of a change in control as defined in the Series A Certificate. ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity ("ASC 480"), specifically ASC 480-10-S99-3A, requires preferred securities that are redeemable for cash or other assets to be classified outside of permanent equity if they are redeemable (i) at a fixed or determinable price on a fixed or determinable date, (ii) at the option of the holder, or (iii) upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer. Preferred securities that are mandatorily redeemable are required to be classified by the issuer as liabilities whereas under ASC 480 an issuer should classify a preferred security whose redemption is contingent on an event not entirely in control of the issuer as mezzanine equity. The Series A is not considered mandatorily redeemable other than in the event of a change of control, and a change in control is not solely in control of the Company. Accordingly, the Company determined that mezzanine treatment is appropriate for the Series A and has presented it as such in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity and mezzanine equity, as of both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Pepsi, together with its affiliates, has certain rights and is also subject to various restrictions with respect to its ownership of the Company’s outstanding common shares on an as-converted basis, through purchases of the Company’s common stock in the open market and the accumulation of PIK dividends. Additionally, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Pepsi has the right to designate one nominee for election to the Board so long as Pepsi (together with its affiliates) beneficially owns at least approximately 11.0 million shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock on an as-converted basis. Notwithstanding that the Series A is not currently convertible into common stock, the Purchase Agreement provides that Pepsi is deemed to beneficially own the underlying shares of common stock for purposes of its rights under the Purchase Agreement. In August 2022, the Company expanded the number of Board seats in connection with the election of a Pepsi representative to the Board.
Liquidation Preference
The Series A ranks, with respect to distribution rights and rights on liquidation, winding-up and dissolution, (i) senior and in priority of payment to the Company’s common stock, (ii) senior to any class or series of capital stock of the Company expressly designated as ranking junior to the Series A, (iii) on parity with any class or series of capital stock of the Company expressly designated as ranking on parity with the Series A, and (iv) junior to any class or series of capital stock of the Company expressly designated as ranking senior to the Series A. The aggregate liquidation preference of the Series A was $550 million as of both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Voting
The Series A confers no voting rights, except as otherwise required by applicable law, and with respect to matters that adversely change the powers, preferences, privileges, rights or restrictions given to the Series A or provided for its benefit, or would result in securities that would be senior to or pari passu with the Series A. As described above, Pepsi has a contractual right to representation on the Board, subject to maintaining certain ownership thresholds.
Stock Split
As a result of the Forward Stock Split, the conversion ratio for Series A Preferred Stock, initially set at five-for-one, was adjusted to fifteen-for-one. The adjustment maintains the proportional interests of Series A stockholders post-split. The revised conversion ratio, reflecting the impact of the Forward Stock Split, became effective on the split's effective date.
Dividends
The Series A entitles the holder to cumulative dividends, which are payable quarterly in arrears either in cash, in-kind, or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election (“Regular Dividends”). Regular Dividends accrue on each share of Series A at the rate of 5.00% per annum, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Series A Certificate. In addition to such quarterly Regular Dividends, shares of Series A also entitle the holder to participate in any dividends paid on the Company’s common stock on an as-converted basis. There were no cumulative undeclared dividends on the Series A at June 30, 2024. There were no dividends issued to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2024 or 2023.
Redemption
Subject to certain conditions set forth in the Series A Certificate, Series A may be redeemed at a price per share of Series A equal to the sum of (i) the stated value of such share of Series A as of the applicable redemption date, plus (ii) without duplication, all
18

(Tabular dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
accrued and unpaid dividends previously added to the stated value of such share of Series A, and all accrued and unpaid dividends per share of Series A through such redemption date (the “Redemption Price”).
Company’s Optional Redemption
At any time from and after the earlier of (i) August 1, 2029, if the ten-day volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock (the “Ten-Day VWAP”) does not exceed the conversion price on the date immediately prior to the date the Company delivers a redemption notice to the holders, and (ii) the cancellation of the Distribution Agreement by the Company, the Company has the right to redeem all (and not less than all) of the then-outstanding shares of Series A at the Redemption Price. In the event of the Company's optional redemption, the Company shall affect such redemption by paying the entire Redemption Price on or before the date that is thirty days after the delivery of the Company’s redemption notice and by redeeming all the shares of Series A on such date.
Change in Control Redemption
In the event of a change in control, as defined by the following scenarios, the Company (or its successor) shall redeem all (and not less than all) of the then-issued and outstanding shares of Series A: (i) a sale or transfer, directly or indirectly, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in any transaction or series of related transactions (other than sales in the ordinary course of business); (ii) any merger, consolidation or reorganization of the Company with or into any other entity or entities as a result of which the holders of the Company’s outstanding capital stock (on a fully-diluted basis) immediately prior to the merger, consolidation or reorganization no longer represent at least a majority of the voting power of the surviving or resulting Company or other entity; or (iii) any sale or series of sales, directly or indirectly, beneficially or of record, of shares of the Company’s capital stock by the holders thereof which results in any person or group of affiliated persons owning capital stock holding more than 50% of the Company's voting power.
Upon a change in control and redemption, each Series A holder will receive, an amount equal to the greater of (A) the Redemption Price in cash, or (B) the cash and/or other assets (including securities) such holder would have received if each share of Series A were converted into a number of shares of common stock equal to the then-applicable conversion ratio and participated in such transaction resulting in such change of control as of the close of business on the business day immediately prior to the effective date of such transaction.
If the Company or its successor shall not have sufficient funds legally available under the Nevada law governing distributions to stockholders to redeem all outstanding shares of Series A, then the Company shall (A) redeem, pro rata among the holders, a number of shares of Series A equal to the number of shares of Series A that can be redeemed with the maximum amount legally available for the redemption, and (B) redeem all remaining shares of Series A not redeemed because of the foregoing limitations at the applicable change of control Redemption Price as soon as practicable after the Company (or its successor) is able to make such redemption out of assets legally available for the purchase of such shares of Series A. The inability of the Company (or its successor) to make a redemption payment for any reason shall not relieve the Company (or its successor) from its obligation to affect any required redemption when, as and if permitted by applicable law.
Holder Right to Request Redemption
On each of August 1, 2029, August 1, 2032, and August 1, 2035, the majority holders of the Series A have the right, upon no less than six months prior written notice to the Company, to request that the Company redeem all (and not less than all) of the then-outstanding shares of Series A, at the Redemption Price.
In the event of a holder-optional redemption, the Redemption Price will be payable, and the Company shall redeem the shares in three equal installments. These installments would commence on August 1, 2029, August 1, 2032, or August 1, 2035, as applicable, and in each case on the fifteenth- and thirtieth-month anniversary thereafter. On each redemption date for a holder-optional redemption, the Company will redeem shares of Series A on a pro rata basis according to the number of shares owned by each holder. The number of outstanding shares will be determined by dividing (i) the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to such redemption date by (ii) the number of remaining redemption dates (including the redemption date to which such calculation applies).
If, on any redemption date, legal constraints under the Nevada law governing distributions to stockholders or the terms of any indebtedness of the Company to financial institutions prevents the Company from redeeming all shares of Series A, the Company will ratably redeem the maximum number of shares that it may legally redeem, and will redeem the remaining shares as soon as it may lawfully do so.

Should any shares of Series A scheduled for redemption on a redemption date remain unredeemed for any reason on such redemption date, the following will occur: from the redemption date to the fifteen-month anniversary of such redemption date, the dividend rate with respect to such unredeemed share will automatically increase to 8% per annum. From such fifteenth-month anniversary to the thirtieth-month anniversary of such redemption date, the dividend rate with respect to such unredeemed share will automatically increase to 10% per annum. After such thirtieth-month anniversary of such redemption date, the dividend rate with respect to any such unredeemed share will automatically increase to 12% per annum, in each case until such share is duly redeemed or converted.
Conversion
The shares of Series A may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Series A Certificate either at the option of the Company or subject to an automatic conversion as discussed below. The Series A was issued with a conversion price of $25 which is potentially subject to adjustment pursuant to the Series A Certificate. The conversion ratio is calculated as the quotient of (a) the sum of (x) the stated value of such share of Series A as of the applicable conversion date, plus (y) all accrued and unpaid dividends previously added to the stated value of such share of Series A, and without duplication, all accrued and unpaid dividends per share of Series A through the applicable conversion date; divided by (b) the conversion price as of the conversion date. As of June 30, 2024, the conversion ratio of the Series A into common was one-for-fifteen. At June 30, 2024, approximately 22.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock were issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.
As of June 30, 2024, the Series A was not probable of becoming redeemable, as the most likely method of settlement is through conversion which is likely to occur before the holder's right to request redemption becomes exercisable.
Company Optional Conversion
At any time from and after August 1, 2029, provided the Ten-Day VWAP immediately prior to the date the Company delivers a conversion notice to the holders of Series A exceeds the conversion price, the Company may elect to convert all, but not less than all, of the outstanding shares of Series A into shares of the Company’s common stock.
Automatic Conversion
The Series A will convert automatically into shares of the Company’s common stock upon the occurrence of any of the following, each an “Automatic Conversion Event”:
•Any date from and after the valid termination of the Distribution Agreement by the Company or Pepsi, if the Ten-Day VWAP immediately preceding such date exceeds the conversion price of such share as of such date.
•Any date from and after August 1, 2028, on which (x) the Company’s products meet a market share requirement during a specified period (as defined in the Distribution Agreement) and (y) the Ten-Day VWAP immediately prior to such date exceeds the conversion price of such share as of such date. In the case of an Automatic Conversion Event, each share of Series A then outstanding shall be converted into the number of shares of common stock equal to the conversion ratio of such share in effect as of the automatic conversion date. The occurrence of an Automatic Conversion Event will terminate any right of the holder to receive a redemption at their request even if such request had already been submitted, provided that the Series A Preferred shares had not already been redeemed.
13.INCOME TAXES
In general, the Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on expected annual income and statutory tax rates in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates, to determine its quarterly provision for income taxes. Certain discrete items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur and can be a source of variability on the effective tax rates from quarter to quarter. The Company’s effective tax rate may change from period to period based on recurring and non-recurring factors including the geographical mix of earnings, enacted tax legislation, and state and local income taxes.
The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was 23.7%. Such rate differed from the statutory federal income tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to disallowed stock-based compensation expense and state income taxes, partially offset by windfall benefits on stock-based compensation awards. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was 20.0%. Such rate differed from the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% primarily due to significant windfall benefits on stock-based compensation awards in the first quarter treated as a discrete items, offset by disallowed stock-based compensation expense and state income taxes.

(Tabular dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was 25.8%. Such rate differed from the statutory federal income tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to disallowed stock-based compensation expense and state income taxes, offset by windfall benefits on stock-based compensation awards. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was 22.2%. Such rate differed from the statutory federal income tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to net benefits on stock-based compensation awards, disallowed stock-based compensation expense and state income taxes.
The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax in multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s tax returns for tax years beginning 2020 remain subject to potential examination by the taxing authorities.
14.STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
On April 30, 2015, the Company adopted the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2015 Plan") with the objective of attracting and retaining highly competent personnel through opportunities to acquire the Company’s common stock.
As of June 30, 2024, 20.8 million shares were available for issuance under the 2015 Plan. The 2015 Plan expires in 2025, and the Company intends to seek stockholder approval of a new plan at the Company's 2025 annual meeting of stockholders.
The 2006 Incentive Stock Plan (the "2006 Plan"), which was adopted on January 18, 2007 and expired in 2017, similarly had the objective of attracting and retaining highly competent employees, directors, and independent consultants through opportunities to acquire the Company’s common stock.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $4.7 million and $5.7 million, respectively, included in selling, general and administrative expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, this expense was approximately $8.3 million and $11.2 million, respectively, included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Stock Options
The Company used straight-line amortization of compensation expense over the two to three-year requisite service or vesting period of the grant. The maximum contractual term of the Company’s stock options is 10 years.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of its stock option awards and warrant issuances and recognizes forfeitures as they occur.
A summary of the status of the Company’s outstanding stock options as of June 30, 2024 and changes during the six months ending on that date is as follows:

| Shares |  | Weighted Average Exercise Price |  | Aggregate Intrinsic Value(1) |  | Weighted Average Remaining Term (Yrs)

Restricted Stock Units
Restricted stock units are awards that give the holder the right to receive one share of common stock for each restricted stock unit upon meeting service-based vesting conditions (typically annual vesting in three equal annual installments, with a requirement that the holder remains in the continuous employment of the Company). The Company determines the fair value of restricted stock-based awards that vest over time based on the market price of the common stock on the date of grant. The holders of unvested units do not have the same rights as stockholders and do not have the right to receive any dividends or the right to vote.
A summary of the Company’s restricted stock unit activity for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 is presented in the following table:

| Six Months Ended
| June 30, 2024 |  | June 30, 2023
| Shares |  | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value |  | Shares(1) |  | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value(1)
Unvested at beginning of period | 1,218 |  | $ | 26.13 |  |  | 1,617 |  | $ | 20.24 |
Granted | 243 |  | 78.87 |  | 408 |  | 34.40
Vested | (624) |  | 22.42 |  | (588) |  | 19.10
Forfeited and cancelled | (50) |  | 33.10 |  | (126) |  | 22.57
Unvested at end of period | 787 |  | $ | 44.93 |  |  | 1,311 |  | $ | 24.93 |

(1) Retrospectively adjusted for the Forward Stock Split.
The total fair value of shares vested during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was approximately $37.1 million and $20.5 million, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding restricted stock units to employees and directors as of June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $28.2 million and $24.0 million, respectively, and is expected to be expensed over the next 2.3 years.
Performance-based Stock Awards
Performance share units ("PSUs") are awards that give the holder the right to receive one share of common stock for each PSU upon meeting performance or market-based vesting conditions. These conditions typically include the attainment of specific metrics over a defined period. The fair value of the PSUs is determined based on either the grant date fair value for performance metrics or using a Monte Carlo simulation for market based awards. The Company recognizes expense if the metrics are probable of being achieved and expensed using either a straight line or an accelerated attribution model. Additionally, the Company recognizes compensation expense for non-employees in the same manner and periods as though cash had been paid for services received.
In the third quarter of 2022, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the issuance of PSUs to certain employees. The aggregate grant date fair value of $7.5 million included an immediate vesting of 20% of the shares as well as specific performance-based metrics to be met in year one and year two of the issuance. The Company believes the performance-based metrics are probable of being achieved and will recognize expense for each tranche of the awards separately using the accelerated attribution method according to ASC 718.
In March 2024, the Human Resource and Compensation Committee approved PSUs under the 2015 Plan with an aggregate award of approximately 65,000 shares of the Company's common stock for certain officers of the Company. Each PSU is initially equivalent in value to one share of Celsius' common stock. The PSUs vest over a period of three years from the grant date based on continuous service, with the number of shares earned (50% to 200% of the target awarded) depending upon the extent to which the Company can achieve certain financial and market performance targets measured over the period beginning January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2026. Approximately one-third of the PSUs were valued at $79.27 per PSU based on the Company's common stock price on the grant date, and the financial targets for vesting are based on the Company's achievement of certain revenue metrics. The Company recognizes the grant-date fair value of these PSUs, as stock-based compensation expense ratably over the vesting period based on the number of awards expected to vest at each reporting date. The remaining PSUs were valued

using a Monte Carlo simulation model. This model incorporates assumptions such as the risk-free interest rate based on zero-coupon yields implied by U.S. Treasury issuances, expected volatility derived from historical data of the Company and certain indices. The Company recognizes the grant-date fair value of these awards as stock-based compensation expense ratably over the vesting period. Approximately one-third of the performance target for vesting is based on total shareholder return ("TSR") relative to the Company's peer group, with each PSU valued at $134.75. The remaining one-third have a vesting performance target based on a specific market price, with each PSU valued at $20.25.
A summary of the Company’s PSU activity for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 is presented in the following table:

| Six Months Ended
| June 30, 2024 |  | June 30, 2023
| Shares |  | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value |  | Shares (1) |  | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value (1)
Unvested at beginning of period | 123 |  | $ | 29.43 |  |  | 228 |  | $ | 30.49 |

(1) Retrospectively adjusted for the Forward Stock Split.
Unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding PSUs issued to employees and non-employee consultants as of June 30, 2024 was approximately $4.6 million, and is expected to be expensed over a weighted average period of 2.6 years.

Legal
SEC Inquiry
On January 8, 2021, the Company received a letter from the SEC Division of Enforcement seeking the production of documents in connection with a non-public, fact-finding inquiry by the SEC to determine whether violations of the federal securities laws had occurred. Subsequent to January 8, 2021, the Company received subpoenas for production of documents in connection with this matter. The investigation and requests from the SEC do not represent that the SEC has concluded that the Company or anyone else has violated the federal securities laws. The Company has cooperated and will continue to cooperate with the SEC staff in its investigation and requests. At this time, however, the Company cannot predict the length, scope, or results of the investigation or the impact, if any, of the investigation on the Company's results of operations.
Derivative Actions
On January 11, 2023, certain of the Company’s directors and present and former officers were named as defendants in a derivative action complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada, (the "Lampert Derivative Action"). The Company was
23

Celsius Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
June 30, 2024
(Tabular dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
named as a nominal defendant. The allegations involve purported false and misleading statements or omissions made between August 12, 2021, and March 1, 2022, which are claimed to have artificially inflated the Company’s stock price. This action asserts the following claims: (i) breach of fiduciary duty, (ii) unjust enrichment, and (iii) violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.
Subsequently, substantially similar derivative action complaints were filed, first on May 19, 2023, against the Company, as a nominal defendant, and certain of the Company's directors and present and former officers in a derivative action in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, (the "Hammond Derivative Action"). This class action asserts claims for (i) breach of fiduciary duty, (ii) aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, (iii) unjust enrichment, (iv) waste of corporate assets, and (v) violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.
A second action was filed on July 10, 2023, against the Company, as a nominal defendant, and certain of the Company’s directors and present and former officers in a derivative action in the District Court for the Eighth Judicial District in Clark County, Nevada, (the “Ingrao Derivative Action”). The Ingrao Derivative Action asserts claims for (i) breach of fiduciary duty and (ii) unjust enrichment.
A third action was filed on July 12, 2023 against the Company, as a nominal defendant, and certain of the Company’s directors and present and former officers in a derivative action in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida (the “Hepworth Derivative Acton”). This class action asserts claims for (i) breach of fiduciary duty, (ii) aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, (iii) unjust enrichment, (iv) waste of corporate assets, and (v) violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.
The Lampert Derivative Action remains stayed, pursuant to the Court’s Order, issued on July 9, 2024, which approved the parties’ joint stipulation to stay of litigation. The Ingrao Derivative Action remains stayed, following the Court’s entry of an Order, on September 11, 2023, approving the parties’ joint stipulation regarding stay of litigation. On March 11, 2024, the Hammond Derivative Action and the Hepworth Derivative Actions were voluntarily dismissed and, on April 11, 2024, a single complaint containing substantially similar allegations was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada, (the "Refiled Derivative Action"). The Refiled Derivative Action remains stayed, following the Court’s Order, issued on June 12, 2024, approving the parties’ joint stipulation to stay the litigation. Plaintiffs have collectively proposed that certain corporate governance actions be implemented and have requested attorney fees. Although the Company believes the various derivative actions are without merit, the Company seeks to resolve the matter expeditiously and the parties are actively negotiating settlement.
Strong Arm Productions
On May 4, 2021, Plaintiffs Strong Arm Productions USA, Inc., Tramar Dillard p/k/a Flo Rida, and D3M Licensing Group, LLC filed a lawsuit against the Company in the Circuit Court of the 17th Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida. Plaintiffs asserted that the Company breached two endorsement and licensing agreements that were entered into, between Plaintiffs and the Company in 2014 and 2016. Plaintiffs alleged the Company had reached certain revenue and sales benchmarks set forth in the 2014 agreement that entitled them to receive 2.3 million shares (as adjusted for the Forward Stock Split) of the Company's common stock. In addition, Plaintiffs claimed they were entitled to receive unspecified royalties under the 2016 agreement.
A jury trial commenced on this matter on January 10, 2023. On January 18, 2023, the jury rendered a verdict against the Company for $82.6 million in compensatory damages. On April 27, 2023, the court denied the Company’s post-trial motions which sought (i) dismissal of the case notwithstanding the verdict based on the plain language of the contracts at issue; (ii) in the alternative, granting a new trial; or (iii) in the alternative, reducing the award of damages to $2.1 million, which reflects the Company’s stock price on the date that the jury found the relevant revenue and sales benchmarks at issue were met. The judgment will accrue post-judgement interest at 5.52% per year as of February 13, 2023.
The Company believes that the jury verdict is not supported by the facts of the case or applicable law, is the result of significant trial error, and there are strong grounds for appeal. The Company filed a notice of appeal to the Fourth District Court of Appeal for the State of Florida on February 21, 2023, which is currently proceeding. The Company intends to vigorously challenge the judgment through the appeal processes, and filed its initial brief on October 6, 2023.
The Company believes that the likelihood that the full amount of the judgment will be affirmed is not probable. The Company currently estimates a range of possible outcomes between $2.1 million and $82.6 million plus interest and has accrued a liability as of June 30, 2024, reflected in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheets, at the low end of that range. The ultimate amount of the original judgement that the Company may be required to pay could be materially different than the amount the Company has accrued. The Company cannot predict or estimate the duration or ultimate outcome of this matter.

Business Overview
Celsius is a fast-growing company in the functional energy drink category in the United States (U.S.) and internationally. We engage in the development, processing, marketing, sale, and distribution of functional energy drinks to a broad range of consumers. We provide differentiated products that offer clinically proven and innovative formulas meant to positively impact the lives of our consumers. Our brand has also proven to be attractive to a broad range of customers, including fitness enthusiasts.
Our flagship asset, CELSIUS®, is marketed as a premium lifestyle and energy drink formulated to power active lifestyles with ESSENTIAL ENERGY TM. This product line comes in two versions, a 12-ounce ready-to-drink form and an on-the-go powder form. During 2023, we introduced a new CELSIUS® Essentials line, available in 16-ounce cans. Our products are currently offered in major retail channels across the U.S., including conventional grocery, natural, convenience, fitness, mass market, vitamin specialty and e-commerce. Additionally, our products are currently offered in certain Canadian, European, Middle Eastern, and Asia-Pacific markets.
An integral part of our value proposition is our focus on the functional energy drink and liquid supplement category, ensuring our products have clear and proven benefits. This is why we invest in research and development from the start and utilize our proprietary MetaPlus formulation in our portfolio, a blend of ginger root, guarana seed extract, chromium, vitamins, and green tea extract.
During 2024, we have continued to develop our U.S. Pepsi relationship as well as expanding our international presence through the following arrangements:
•In January 2024, we announced Pepsi as our exclusive distributor in Canada, as well as a new relationship with Lucozade Ribena Suntory Limited ("Suntory") to serve as our exclusive sales and distribution partner in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.
•In March 2024, we entered into a definitive manufacturing, sales, and distribution agreement with Suntory Oceania to expand into the Australia and New Zealand markets. Sales under this arrangement are expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2024.
•In March 2024, we entered into an incentive program with Pepsi which is intended to better align our businesses as we look to grow and expand our product portfolio across the U.S. The ultimate impact of the incentive program on the Company's revenue and margin will be dependent upon achieving the intended outcomes of the program.
•In April 2024, we entered into a definitive sales and distribution agreement with Suntory France to expand into France. Sales under this arrangement are expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2024.
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 26, 2005. Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and on November 13, 2023, a three-for-one forward stock split of our common stock was made effective for stockholders of record at the close of business on such date.
Results of Operations
Three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to three months ended June 30, 2023
Revenue
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, revenue was approximately $402.0 million, compared to $325.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. This growth was primarily driven by increased revenues from North America, which experienced continued gains in distribution points, shelf space, and SKUs per location, offset in part by a reduction in days on hand inventory by our largest distributor.
European revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $16.7 million, compared to $11.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The revenue increase in Europe was predominantly driven by successful innovation launches. Asia-Pacific revenues contributed an additional $0.9 million. Other international markets, including Puerto Rico, generated approximately $2.1 million in revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

The increase was primarily attributable to interest income earned on cash held in our money market accounts, partially offset by foreign exchange rate transaction loss.

Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders
Net income attributable to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $131.5 million, representing basic earnings per share of $0.56 based on a basic weighted average of 233.0 million shares outstanding. In comparison, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, net income attributable to common stockholders was $72.2 million, representing basic earnings per share of $0.31 based on a basic weighted average of 230.3 million shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share was $0.55 and $0.31 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $903.2 million and $756.0 million, respectively, and working capital of approximately $1,072.0 million and $928.3 million, respectively.
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and our existing cash balances. Please refer to Part 1, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" of our 2023 Annual Report for specific risk factors that could have a material impact on our operations. We believe that our current cash resources are sufficient to fund our cash outflows for both our short and long-term cash needs.
Purchases of inventories, increases in accounts receivable and other assets, equipment purchases (including coolers), advances to certain of our co-packers, payments of accounts payable, and income taxes are expected to remain our principal recurring uses of cash and material cash requirements.
Cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023
Cash flows provided by operating activities
Cash flows provided by operating activities totaled approximately $174.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, which compares to $45.2 million of cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The approximately $129.0 million increase in operating cash generated is attributable to our increase in net income partially offset by the timing of cash receipts.
Cash flows used in investing activities
Cash flows used in investing activities totaled approximately $13.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, which compares to cash used in investing activities of $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to increased purchases of property and equipment, with purchases of approximately $13.7 million in the current year period versus $6.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, property and equipment purchases were partially offset by collections from our note receivable received from our China licensee of approximately $3.2 million.
Cash flows used in financing activities
Cash flows used in financing activities totaled $12.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, which compares to cash used in financing activities of $13.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The main driver for cash used in financing activities for both periods was cash dividends paid on our outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, all of which is held by Pepsi.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had no off balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in our consolidated financial statements. Critical accounting estimates are those that management believes are the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results and require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that have had, or are reasonably likely to have, a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Judgments and uncertainties may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or estimates from those described in Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in our 2023 Annual report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
In the normal course of business, our financial position is routinely subject to a variety of risks. The principal market risks (i.e., the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices) to which we are exposed are fluctuations in commodity and other input prices affecting the costs of our raw materials (including, but not limited to, increases in the costs of the price of aluminum cans, sucralose and other sweeteners, as well as other raw materials contained within our products). We generally do not use hedging agreements or alternative instruments to manage the risks associated with securing sufficient ingredients or raw materials. We are also subject to market risks with respect to the cost of commodities and other inputs because our ability to recover increased costs through higher pricing is limited by the competitive environment in which we operate.
We do not use derivative financial instruments to protect ourselves from fluctuations in interest rates and generally do not hedge against fluctuations in commodity prices.
There have been no material changes to the information regarding market risk provided in Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” contained in our 2023 Annual Report.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial and accounting officer) conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of June 30, 2024, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms adopted by the SEC, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date because of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below.
Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. Although our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer evaluated whether our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at doing so, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented if an individual desires to do so. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing conclusion, and notwithstanding the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below, management believes that the consolidated financial statements and related financial information included in this Report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates presented, and for the periods ended on such dates, in conformity with U.S. GAAP and the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC.
We identified a material weakness as of December 31, 2023 in our internal control over financial reporting, which was not fully remediated as of June 30, 2024. A material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis. We concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2023 and was not fully remediated as of June 30, 2024 with respect to the following processes as the result of the ineffective design and operation of business process level controls: (i) accounting for revenue recognition, (ii) accounting for promotional allowances, and (iii) accounting for inventories.
Management has reassessed the design of controls and modified its processes to remediate the control deficiencies that led to the material weakness, including but not limited to placing increased emphasis on appropriately designing and implementing effective business process level controls. This material weakness cannot be considered remediated until the applicable controls are designed and operating effectively for a sufficient period of time, as supported by management’s testing results.
31

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we have been implementing and will aggressively continue to implement changes to improve the control environment with respect to the business process level controls that led to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023 discussed above. We anticipate the actions to be taken, and resulting process improvements, to generally strengthen our internal control over financial reporting and remediate the material weakness noted above. These remedial measures were considered changes to our internal control environment that had a material effect on our internal control over financial reporting.

Executive Severance Plan
On August 1, 2024, the Board adopted the Celsius, Inc. Executive Severance Pay Plan (the “Executive Severance Plan”), effective August 1, 2024, which generally applies to the Company’s executive officers, including the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer. The Executive Severance Plan provides for the payment of severance and other benefits to eligible executive officers in the event of (i) an involuntary termination of employment with the Company other than for Cause, or (ii) resignation for Good Reason (as such capitalized terms are defined in the Executive Severance Plan). In the event of an executive officers’ qualifying termination and subject to such executive officer’s execution of a general release of liability against the Company and other requirements as specified in the Executive Severance Plan, the Company would award the following payments and benefits to the eligible executive officers:
•a lump sum payment of the (i) sum of (A) the executive officer’s base salary plus 100% of such executive officer’s target annual bonus for the year in which the termination occurs and (B) the prorated amount, based on the date of termination, of such executive officer’s target annual bonus for the year in which the termination occurs, minus (ii) amounts payable under any government-mandated severance that does not prohibit offset and any any outstanding debt owed to the Company; and
•a lump sum payment equal to such executive officer’s COBRA premiums over a 12-month period.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no executive officer would be entitled to benefits under the Executive Severance Plan to the extent such executive officer will receive greater benefits under any other applicable contractual plan or arrangement. Additionally, the Board’s Human Resources and Compensation committee, as plan administrator, may, as it deems appropriate, in its sole and absolute discretion, authorize severance benefits in an amount different (greater or less) from the guideline amounts set forth in the Executive Severance Plan.
The foregoing description of the Executive Severance Plan is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Executive Severance Plan, which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Report and incorporated by reference in this Item 5.
Form of Executive Change in Control and Indemnity Agreement
On August 1, 2024, the Board adopted a form of Executive Change in Control and Indemnity Agreement (the “CIC Agreement”), that may be entered into from time to time with certain executive officers of the Company. The CIC Agreement provides for the payment of severance and other benefits in the event that, during the three month period preceding and the two-year period following a Change in Control, the applicable executive is terminated by the Company other than for Cause, or if such executive voluntarily resigns for Good Reason (as such capitalized terms are defined in the CIC Agreement). In the event of a qualifying termination and subject to the executive officer’s execution of a general release of liability against the Company and other requirements as specified in the CIC Agreement, the Company shall pay to such executive:
•any accrued obligations, including (i) the executive officer’s earned but unpaid base salary through such officer’s termination, (ii) payment of any accrued paid time off, (iii) reimbursement of certain expenses and (iv) any earned but unpaid annual bonus for any year preceding the fiscal year in which the termination occurs;
•a cash payment equal to the product of (i) two times the sum of (A) the executive officer’s base salary plus (B) 100% of such executive officer’s target annual bonus for the year in which the termination occurs;
•a prorated amount of such executive officer’s target annual bonus for the year in which the termination occurs; and
•a lump sum payment equal to such executive officer’s COBRA premiums over an 18-month period.
The CIC Agreement additionally includes confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation and intellectual property covenants in favor of the Company, as well and indemnification provisions in favor of the applicable executive.
The foregoing description of the CIC Agreement is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the CIC Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.4 to this Report and incorporated by reference in this Item 5.

Second Amended & Restated Bylaws
