Insights

Vita Coco delivered exceptional Q4 2024 results with net sales surging 20% to $127 million, driven by a remarkable 30% growth in its flagship coconut water product. The strong quarter capped a solid year with full-year revenues reaching $516 million (5% growth) and net income climbing to $56 million (19.1% increase).

The Q4 performance benefited significantly from inventory rebuilding after prior quarter shortages, creating a potential headwind for Q1 2025 comparisons. While Q4 gross margin compressed to 32% from 37% year-over-year due to rising ocean freight costs, full-year margin expanded to 39%, reflecting successful pricing strategies and favorable product mix shifts.

Management's 2025 outlook signals continued momentum but with expected margin pressure. The $555-570 million revenue guidance (7.6-10.5% growth) relies on mid-teens expansion of Vita Coco Coconut Water, the national rollout of Vita Coco Treats (a significant product diversification move), and planned price increases. However, gross margin is projected to contract to 35-37% from 39% due to anticipated higher transportation and finished goods costs.

The company's financial position remains exceptionally strong with $165 million in cash and zero debt. Despite this fortress balance sheet and a $40 million share repurchase authorization, COCO has only repurchased $12.8 million in shares thus far, suggesting potential for accelerated buybacks or strategic investments.

Notably, management highlighted that the coconut water category is among the fastest-growing beverage segments, with accelerating momentum in H2 2024 that has continued into 2025. This category expansion, coupled with COCO's dominant market position, provides a tailwind beyond company-specific execution. The guidance references softness in private label products, indicating a potential shift toward branded offerings that could benefit the company's margin profile despite increased promotional activity.

The outlook specifically excludes potential tariff impacts, representing an unquantified risk factor that investors should monitor given the company's global supply chain.

Vita Coco's Q4 and full-year 2024 results showcase the company's strengthening position in the rapidly expanding functional beverage market. The 30% Q4 surge in Vita Coco Coconut Water sales signals a pivotal shift from niche health product to mainstream refreshment, with management specifically highlighting accelerating household adoption and new consumption occasions.

The planned national rollout of Vita Coco Treats represents a strategic expansion beyond the company's core offering. This dessert-inspired beverage line appears positioned to capture indulgence-seeking consumers while maintaining better-for-you credentials – potentially opening evening consumption occasions that traditional coconut water rarely penetrates. This product diversification should help buffer against potential category-specific headwinds while leveraging the established brand equity.

Supply chain dynamics remain both a challenge and opportunity. The company has successfully rebuilt inventory levels after previous constraints, but rising ocean freight costs (evident in Q4's margin compression) will persist into 2025. The mentioned supplier-related bad debt expense raises questions about potential vulnerabilities in their procurement network that warrant monitoring.

The softness in private label performance amid strong branded growth suggests a premiumization trend within the category, with consumers demonstrating willingness to pay for trusted brands rather than cheaper alternatives. This dynamic typically emerges as categories mature, with early-stage price sensitivity giving way to brand loyalty and quality perception.

However, the projected increase in promotional activity for 2025 indicates a competitive landscape that's intensifying. Major beverage conglomerates and emerging challenger brands continue targeting the functional hydration space that Vita Coco dominates. The company's strategy of coupling price increases with heightened promotions aims to protect market share while managing margins – a delicate balance that will test their pricing power.

The exclusion of potential tariff impacts from guidance represents an unquantified risk given Vita Coco's dependence on global supply chains for coconut sourcing. Any significant trade policy changes could materially impact the cost structure beyond the already anticipated transportation and finished goods increases.

With 7.6-10.5% projected revenue growth for 2025, Vita Coco continues outpacing the broader beverage industry, demonstrating that functional, plant-based hydration remains a high-growth segment with substantial runway for continued household penetration.

Fourth Quarter Net Sales Increased 20% with Full Year Increasing 5% to $516 million benefiting from Vita Coco Coconut Water growth of 10%

 Full Year Net Income Increased $9 million to $56 million and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA1 Increased $16 million to $84 million

For Fiscal Year 2025, Expect Net Sales between $555 and $570 million and Adjusted EBITDA2 between $86 and $92 million

NEW YORK, Feb. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Vita Coco Company, Inc. (NASDAQ:COCO) (“Vita Coco” or “the Company”), a leading high-growth platform of better-for-you beverage brands, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Highlights Compared to Prior Year

  • Net sales increased 20% in the fourth quarter to $127 million resulting in full year net sales of $516 million.
  • Vita Coco Coconut Water net sales growth of 30% in the fourth quarter and 10% full year growth.
  • Gross profit was $41 million in the fourth quarter, an increase of $2 million, and $199 million for the year ended 2024, an increase of $18 million.
  • Gross margin was 32% of net sales in the fourth quarter compared to 37% of net sales, and 39% of full year net sales as compared to 37% of net sales.
  • Net income was $3 million in the fourth quarter compared to net income of $7 million, and full year net income of $56 million compared to $47 million.
  • Net income per diluted share was $0.06 in the fourth quarter compared to $0.11, and was $0.94 per diluted share for the year ended 2024 compared to $0.79.
  • Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA1 for the fourth quarter was $8 million, flat compared to prior year, and full year was $84 million, compared to $68 million.

Michael Kirban, the Company's Co-Founder and Executive Chairman, stated, "I am very proud of our team and our performance during 2024. The coconut water category remains one of the fastest growing categories in the beverage aisle, and we believe this growth is being fueled by our focus as the category leader in driving increased household adoption and new consumption occasions. Importantly, this growth accelerated in the second half of the year, momentum that has continued into 2025. With more normal inventory levels, a category that is accelerating, and the national launch of Vita Coco Treats, I am very excited for what is to come in 2025."

Martin Roper, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our exceptionally strong shipment performance in the fourth quarter benefited from retailer and distributor inventory levels rebuilding after the shortages of the prior quarter. We are pleased with our current inventory levels and excited by the current scan growth and indications from retailers of increased points of distribution in the coming resets. Collectively, we believe that this should help us deliver high teens branded growth in 2025."

Fourth Quarter 2024 Consolidated Results

Net sales increased $21 million, or 20%, to $127 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2024, compared to $106 million in the prior year period. The increase in net sales was driven by strong growth in Vita Coco Coconut Water and private label case equivalent ("CE") volumes, coupled with improved net pricing for Vita Coco Coconut Water due to reduced retailer promotional activity.

Gross profit was $41 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $40 million in the prior year period. Gross margin of 32% in the fourth quarter of 2024 decreased from 38% in the prior year period. The increase in gross profit was driven by higher volumes and increased branded net pricing, offset primarily by increased ocean freight costs.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses in the fourth quarter of 2024 were $37 million, compared to $34 million in the prior year period. The increase was largely due to a bad debt expense related to a supplier, offset by lower marketing costs and charitable donations,

Net income was $3 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to net income of $7 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, in the prior year period. Net income benefited from increased gross profit, which was more than offset by higher SG&A spending, losses on mark to market adjustments on derivative instruments and losses on foreign exchange.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA1 was $8 million in the fourth quarters of 2024 and 2023. Increased gross profit was offset by higher SG&A expenses, resulting in minimal change in Adjusted EBITDA.

Full Year 2024 Consolidated Results

Net sales increased $22 million, or 5%, to $516 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $494 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in net sales was driven by higher coconut water CE volumes across both the Americas and International segments, including Vita Coco Coconut Water volume growth of 6%, and improved Vita Coco Coconut Water net pricing due to reduced retailer promotional activity, partially offset by the transition of the private label oil business.

Gross profit increased by $18 million, or 10%, to $199 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, from $181 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, driven by volume growth, Vita Coco Coconut Water net pricing improvement and lower domestic transportation costs, partially offset by ocean freight cost increases. Gross margin was 39% for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to 37% for the year ended December 31, 2023 primarily due to Vita Coco Coconut Water net pricing improvement and benefits from product mix, partially offset by increased average full year ocean freight costs.

SG&A expenses increased by $1 million, or 1%, to $125 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, from $124 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by a net increase in personnel-related expenses and a bad debt expense related to a supplier, offset by lower investments in marketing expenses primarily due to inventory constraints through the third quarter of 2024 as well as the absence of charitable donations and an impairment loss on the land in Ecuador recorded during 2023.

Net income was $56 million, or $0.94 per diluted share for the year ended 2024, compared to $47 million, or $0.79 per diluted share in the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by the increase in gross profit associated with higher volumes and improved Vita Coco Coconut Water net pricing, and increased interest income due to higher levels of cash invested with financial institutions compared to prior year. The increases were offset by a higher unrealized loss on the mark-to-market changes in the fair value of outstanding derivative instruments, losses on the settlement of foreign currency hedges,  increased income tax expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA1 for the year ended 2024 was $84 million, compared to $68 million in 2023. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA1 was primarily driven by strong gross profit improvement.

Balance Sheet

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $165 million, compared to $133 million as of December 31, 2023. There was no debt as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.  Inventories as of December 31, 2024 totaled $84 million. On December 31, 2024, there were 56,961,941 shares of common stock outstanding.

On October 30, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $40 million of the Company's common stock. As of December 31, 2024, and to date, the Company has repurchased a total of 534,246 shares for an aggregate value of $12.8 million at an average share price of $23.97 with no shares repurchased during the most recent quarter.

Fiscal Year 2025 Full Year Outlook

The Company is providing the following full year 2025 guidance:

  • Expect 2025 net sales to be between $555 million and $570 million, with projected Vita Coco Coconut Water growth of mid-teens and the planned benefit of Vita Coco Treats rollout, and branded price increases, partially offset by increased promotional activity and softness in private label.
  • Full year gross margin expected to be between 35% and 37%, with expected higher average transportation costs and increased finished goods costs, partially offset by planned Vita Coco Coconut Water net pricing increases and increased percentage volume mix of branded versus private label.
  • SG&A expenses expected to increase low single digits versus 2024.
  • Forecasting Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $86 million to $92 million.
  • The current outlook does not include any impact from potential tariffs.

Uncertainty and instability of the current operating environment, global economies, and geopolitical landscape could affect this outlook and our future results.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to disclosing results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company also discloses certain non-GAAP results of operations, including, but not limited to, Adjusted EBITDA, that include certain adjustments or exclude certain charges and gains that are described in the reconciliation table of U.S. GAAP to non-GAAP information provided at the end of this release. These non-GAAP measures are a key metric used by management and our board of directors to assess our financial performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance and because we believe it is useful for investors to see the measures that management uses to evaluate the Company. In addition, we believe the presentation of these measures is useful to investors for period-to-period comparisons of results as the items described below in the reconciliation tables do not reflect ongoing operating performance.

These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, U.S. GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate such measures differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure. Investors should not rely on any single financial measure when evaluating our business. This information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute for our operating results in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We recommend investors review the U.S. GAAP financial measures included in this earnings release. When viewed in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations, we believe these non-GAAP measures provide greater transparency and a more complete understanding of factors affecting our business than U.S. GAAP measures alone.

  2. Unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments and foreign currency gains or losses are not considered in our evaluation of our ongoing performance.
  3. Reflects other non-recurring expenses related to costs associated with two secondary offerings in which Verlinvest Beverages SA sold shares of the Company.

The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares.
  4. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the amount reflects the write-off of prepayments made to a supplier for inventory orders. In November 2024, we learned that the supplier failed to produce the orders placed and paused operations. Further, the supplier did not provide a refund for such orders.
