Our strategy of positioning Celsius as a global leader for health-minded consumers remains our top priority."

Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2019

Revenue  

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, revenue was $30.0 million, an increase of $13.9 million or 86.3% compared to $16.1 million for same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to continued strong growth of 44% in North American revenues, reflecting double digit growth from both existing accounts and new distribution expansion and expansion at world class retailers, and a 595% increase in European revenue. These increases were partially offset by a 14% decline in revenue from Asian markets mainly as a result of currency devaluations and the impact of the health crisis in these markets. The total increase in revenues reflected additional sales volume, as opposed to increases in product pricing.

The following table sets forth revenue by geography and changes therein for the three-and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:

		Three months ended June 30,										Six months ended June 30,

Gross profit

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, gross profit increased by $6.1 million, or 88.4%, to $13.0 million, from $6.9 million for the same quarter in 2019. Gross profit margin for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was 43.3%, which compares favorably to 42.6% for the 2019 quarter. The increase in gross profit dollars is mainly related to increases in sales volume, as opposed to increases in product pricing.

Sales and marketing expenses

Selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 were $7.8 million, an increase of $2.2 million, or 39.3%, from $5.6 million in the same quarter in 2019. This reflects the impact of the consolidation of the operating results of Func Food following its October 2019 acquisition by the Company, investment in human resources to continue to properly service our markets, increased support to distributors and investments in trade activities in support of increased business volume.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 were $3.6 million, an increase of $1.2 million, or 50.0%, from $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. This increase reflects the impact of the consolidation of Func Food's operations and investments in human resources to support higher sales volumes, as well as increases in administrative expenses related to higher business volume. 

Other income / expense

Total net other income/expenses for the three months ended on June 30, 2020 were $67,100 of income, which compares favorably to $344,641 of expenses for the same period in the prior year.  Current year results reflect favorable impact related to currency fluctuations which were partially offset by incremental financial expenses and amortization of intangibles and financial instruments.  Specifically, the results for the 2020 second quarter include, foreign exchange gains of $318,000, gain on lease cancellations of $152,000 which were partially offset by amortization expenses of $403,000, interest expense on bonds payable and financial lease obligations of $145,000 and a favorable net impact of $11,000 related to all other items.

Net Income (Loss)

As a result of the above, for the three months ended June 30, 2020, net income was $1.6 million or $0.02 per share based on a weighted average of 69,396,377 shares outstanding and dilutive earnings per share of $0.02 based on a fully-dilutive weighted average of 71,473,065 shares outstanding, which includes the dilutive impact of outstanding stock options to purchase 2,076,688 shares.  In comparison, for the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company had net loss of approximately $1,473,295 million or a loss of $0.03 per share, based on a weighted average of 57,336,117 shares outstanding and a dilutive loss per share of $0.03 based on a fully-dilutive weighted average of 57,336,117 shares outstanding.

Six Months ended June 30, 2020 compared to Six Months ended June 30, 2019

Revenue

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, revenue was $58.2 million, an increase of $27.6 million, or 90.2%, up from $30.6 million for the six months ending June 30, 2019. The increase was attributable in large part to continued strong growth of 55.8% in North American revenues, reflecting double digit growth in both existing accounts and new distribution expansion. European revenue, which increased 305% to $17.3 million, reflects the full financial impact of consolidation of the results of operations of the Company's European distribution partner, Func Food. The total increase in revenue was primarily attributable to an increase in sales volume, as opposed to increases in product pricing.  Asian markets reflected an increase of 37% and all other international markets also reflected an increase of 131% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The total increase in revenues reflected additional sales volume, as opposed to increases in product pricing.

Gross profit

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, gross profit increased by $13.4 million, or 106.4%, to $26.0 million compared to $12.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.  Gross profit margin increased by 360 basis points to 44.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 41.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in gross profit dollars is mainly related to an increase in sales volume, as opposed to increases in product pricing.

Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $15.4 million, an increase of $6.2 million, or 67.4%, from $9.2 million in the same period in 2019. This increase was primarily driven by the impact of the consolidation of the operating results of Func Food following its October 2019 acquisition by the Company and includes an increase in marketing expenses of $2.5 million, an increase in employee costs of $2.7 million and an increase in support for distributors, investments in trade activities and storage and distribution costs of $1.0 million, in aggregate, to support higher sales volumes.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $7.9 million, an increase of $2.8 million, or 54.9%, up from $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. This increase similarly reflects the impact of the consolidation of Func Food's operations in the current period and investments in human resources to properly support higher sales volumes, as well as increases in administrative expenses which are related to higher business volumes. 

Other income / expense

Total other expense was $635,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to total other income of $11.8 million for the same period in 2019. The decrease is primarily due to the recognition of a note receivable in the year ago period from the company's Chinese licensee, who, in connection with the change in the China business model, agreed to repay the market investments Celsius has made into China, over a five-year period, under an unsecured, interest-bearing promissory note.

Net income

As a result of the above, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, Celsius had net income of $2.1 million, or $0.03 per diluted share based on a weighted average of 71,073,534 diluted shares outstanding. In comparison, for the six months ended June 30, 2019 the company had net income of $10.2 million, or $0.17 per diluted share based on a weighted average of 61,817,621 diluted shares outstanding.
