Positive
  • Net sales increased by 2.5% to $1.90 billion.
  • Adjusted net sales grew 7.4% excluding adverse currency impacts.
  • Gross profit margin improved to 53.6%.
  • Net income increased 2.8% to $425.4 million.
  • Diluted EPS rose 5.0% to $0.41.
  • Completed $3.0 billion share repurchase program.
  • Strategic Brands segment sales grew 9.6%.
Negative
  • Alcohol Brands segment sales decreased by 31.9%.
  • Operating expenses increased to $492.3 million from $450.4 million.
  • Selling expenses rose to $192.1 million, up from $172.6 million.

Monster Beverage's Q2 2024 results show mixed performance. While net sales increased 2.5% to $1.90 billion, this growth was impacted by adverse foreign currency changes. Excluding these effects, sales grew 6.1%, indicating underlying strength.

The gross profit margin improved to 53.6% from 52.5% last year, driven by lower freight and aluminum costs. However, operating expenses increased faster than sales, rising to 25.9% of net sales from 24.3%.

The company's core Monster Energy Drinks segment grew 3.3%, while the Strategic Brands segment saw strong growth of 9.6%. The Alcohol Brands segment declined 31.9%, which is concerning.

Overall, net income increased 2.8% to $425.4 million, with EPS up 5% to $0.41. The planned 5% price increase in November could help offset rising costs and support margins.

The energy drink market is showing signs of slowing growth, particularly in the US. Monster reported lower growth rates and a shift in consumer behavior, with reduced convenience store traffic and increased preference for mass and dollar channels. This suggests price sensitivity among consumers.

However, the company maintains that energy drinks are viewed as an "affordable luxury," which could provide some resilience in a tightening economy. The global expansion of the category, with opportunities in penetration and per capita consumption, remains a positive trend.

Monster's innovation pipeline is robust, with new product launches planned in both non-alcoholic and alcoholic segments. The expansion of The Beast Unleashed to all 50 states and Nasty Beast Hard Tea to 49 states shows progress in the alcohol segment, despite the recent sales decline.

The company's international performance is noteworthy, with sales outside the US growing 4.3% (13.7% on a currency-adjusted basis), now representing 39% of total sales.

CORONA, Calif., Aug. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Monster Beverage Corporation (NASDAQ: MNST) today reported financial results for the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2024.

Second Quarter Results
Net sales for the 2024 second quarter increased 2.5 percent to $1.90 billion, from $1.85 billion in the same period last year. Net changes in foreign currency exchange rates had an unfavorable impact on net sales for the 2024 second quarter of $67.7 million ($34.0 million related to Argentina). Net sales on a foreign currency adjusted basis increased 6.1 percent (7.4 percent excluding the Alcohol Brands segment) in the 2024 second quarter.

Net sales for the Company’s Monster Energy® Drinks segment, which primarily includes the Company’s Monster Energy® drinks, Reign Total Body Fuel® high performance energy drinks, Reign Storm® total wellness energy drinks, Bang Energy® drinks and Monster Tour Water®, increased 3.3 percent to $1.74 billion for the 2024 second quarter, from $1.69 billion for the 2023 second quarter. Net changes in foreign currency exchange rates had an unfavorable impact on net sales for the Monster Energy® Drinks segment of approximately $53.6 million for the 2024 second quarter ($34.0 million related to Argentina). Net sales on a foreign currency adjusted basis for the Monster Energy® Drinks segment increased 6.5 percent in the 2024 second quarter (4.5 percent exclusive of Argentina’s impact).

Net sales for the Company’s Strategic Brands segment, which primarily includes the various energy drink brands acquired from The Coca-Cola Company, as well as the Company’s affordable energy brands Predator® and Fury®, increased 9.6 percent to $109.2 million for the 2024 second quarter, from $99.7 million in the 2023 second quarter. Net changes in foreign currency exchange rates had an unfavorable impact on net sales for the Strategic Brands segment of approximately $14.0 million for the 2024 second quarter. Net sales on a foreign currency adjusted basis for the Strategic Brands segment increased 23.6 percent in the 2024 second quarter.  

Net sales for the Alcohol Brands segment, which is comprised of The Beast Unleashed®, Nasty Beast™ Hard Tea, as well as various craft beers and hard seltzers, decreased 31.9 percent to $41.6 million for the 2024 second quarter, from $61.1 million in the 2023 second quarter. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to decreased sales by volume of flavored malt beverages.

Net sales for the Company’s Other segment, which primarily includes certain products of American Fruits and Flavors, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, sold to independent third-party customers (the “AFF Third-Party Products”), decreased 4.2 percent to $7.0 million for the 2024 second quarter, from $7.3 million in the 2023 second quarter.

Net sales to customers outside the United States increased 4.3 percent to $746.0 million in the 2024 second quarter, from $715.4 million in the 2023 second quarter. Such sales were approximately 39 percent of total net sales in both the 2024 and 2023 second quarters. Net sales to customers outside the United States, on a foreign currency adjusted basis, increased 13.7 percent in the 2024 second quarter (9.0 percent exclusive of Argentina’s impact).

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the 2024 second quarter was 53.6 percent, compared with 52.5 percent in the 2023 second quarter. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales was primarily the result of decreased freight-in costs, pricing actions in certain markets and lower aluminum can costs, partially offset by production inefficiencies.

Operating expenses for the 2024 second quarter were $492.3 million, compared with $450.4 million in the 2023 second quarter. Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales for the 2024 second quarter were 25.9 percent, compared with 24.3 percent in the 2023 second quarter. 

Distribution expenses for the 2024 second quarter were $87.4 million, or 4.6 percent of net sales, compared with $82.0 million, or 4.4 percent of net sales, in the 2023 second quarter.

Selling expenses for the 2024 second quarter were $192.1 million, or 10.1 percent of net sales, compared with $172.6 million, or 9.3 percent of net sales, in the 2023 second quarter.

General and administrative expenses for the 2024 second quarter were $212.8 million, or 11.2 percent of net sales, compared with $195.8 million, or 10.6 percent of net sales, for the 2023 second quarter. Stock-based compensation was $18.8 million for the 2024 second quarter, compared with $18.6 million in the 2023 second quarter.

Operating income for the 2024 second quarter was $527.2 million, compared with $523.8 million in the 2023 second quarter.

The effective tax rate for the 2024 second quarter was 22.9 percent, compared with 23.2 percent in the 2023 second quarter.

Net income for the 2024 second quarter increased 2.8 percent to $425.4 million, from $413.9 million in the 2023 second quarter. Net income per diluted share for the 2024 second quarter increased 5.0 percent to $0.41, from $0.39 in the second quarter of 2023.

Hilton H. Schlosberg, Vice Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer, said, “The energy drink category in the United States and in certain other countries experienced lower growth rates in the second quarter. Retailers have reported a reduction in convenience store foot traffic and we have seen a shift at retail towards more mass and dollar channels. Other beverage and consumer packaged product companies have also seen a tighter consumer spending environment and weaker demand in the quarter. 

“The energy category globally continues to grow and has demonstrated resilience, as we believe that consumers view energy drinks as an ‘affordable luxury.’

“Growth opportunities in penetration, per capita consumption, along with consumers’ growing need for energy are positive trends for the category. We continue to expand our sales in non-Nielsen measured channels.

“We achieved another quarter of solid revenue growth, with record second quarter sales. The quarter was again impacted by unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates in certain markets.

“Gross profit margins improved in the second quarter, compared with the 2023 second quarter. This improvement was primarily the result of decreased freight-in costs, pricing actions in certain markets and lower aluminum can costs, partially offset by production inefficiencies. On a sequential quarterly basis, gross margins were 0.5 percent below first quarter margins primarily as a result of higher allowances, certain of which we believe are non-recuring as well as production inefficiencies.

“As previously reported, we will be taking an approximately 5 percent price increase on our core brands and packages in the United States, effective November 1, 2024,” Schlosberg added.

Rodney C. Sacks, Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer, said, “Innovation continues to play a key role in our strategy and globally, our innovation has been well received by our bottlers/distributors, wholesalers, retailers and consumers. We are planning to launch Monster Energy® Ultra Vice Guava™ in the United States in October.

“Response to Predator Energy® Gold Strike, launched in April 2024 in selected provinces in China, has been positive and plans are underway to continue its rollout into more markets in China later this year and in 2025.

“The Beast Unleashed® is now available in all 50 states. Nasty Beast™, our new hard tea line is now available in 49 states. We are currently launching a second variety pack of the Beast Unleashed® in a 12-pack of slim 12-oz cans, comprising of Mean Green, Pink Poison, Gnarly Grape and Killer Sunrise.

“Our innovation pipeline for both our non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages remains robust,” Sacks said.
