2010 Key Accomplishments Monster Energy’s innovation continues to propel brand growth. Over the four week period ending November 20, 2010, sales on a per point basis of our new Monster Energy Absolutely Zero were higher than those of Red Bull Sugar Free 8.4oz and the best selling items of NOS, Amp, Full Throttle, etc. 1 Our successful Peace Tea launch further solidifies Hansen’s position as a diversified beverage company. The launch of Worx Energy supplements in 2 oz. containers is positioned to tap into the growing highly-profitable energy supplement category. The market for such energy supplements has grown to $683M annually at retail with a growth rate of 39.6% versus a year ago.2 According to Nielsen, in the convenience and gas channel in Canada for the 12 weeks ending October 23, 2010, the energy drink category grew 21%, while sales of Monster grew 58% over last year.
