Hilton H. Schlosberg, Chief Executive Officer, said, “The global energy drink category continues to demonstrate solid growth, driven by increasing consumer demand. We again delivered solid financial results in the 2025 third quarter, with record net sales, gross profit dollars, operating income and net income. The results for the quarter reflect the strength of our brands and dedication of our teams around the world. Our Monster Energy Ultra® energy drinks once again contributed significantly to our growth this quarter. Our net sales to customers outside of the United States increased 23.3 percent in the 2025 third quarter to approximately 43 percent of total net sales, up from approximately 40 percent in the 2024 third quarter, and is the highest percentage of net sales to customers outside the United States recorded by the Company to date for a single quarter.

“The quarter’s performance also reflects the success of our product innovations, which are resonating strongly with consumers. Innovation remains central to our long-term growth strategy. We are excited about our 2025 fall new product offerings and our robust slate of planned new product offerings for 2026, including the upcoming launch of FLRT, our female-focused brand, late in the first quarter, which we plan to initially debut in four flavors,” Schlosberg added.

Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Information
($ in Thousands, Except Per Share Amounts, unaudited) - continued

¹In March 2025, the Company began issuing equity awards containing language that permits certain awards to continue vesting following a recipient’s retirement (the “Retirement Clause”). The Retirement Clause is applicable for award recipients that have (i) attained the age of sixty-five, (ii) completed ten or more years of continuous service, and (iii) provided at least six months’ written notice prior to the last day of service. Since recipients who meet the eligibility conditions of the Retirement Clause are not required to continue providing service following their retirement in order for certain of their awards subject to the Retirement Clause to continue vesting, the service period for such recipients is six months rather than the stated vesting period per the award.
