- Progress on the company’s exclusive distribution partnership with The Coca-Cola Company in 18 new markets
- R&D spending on sustainable packaging and plant-based energy drink formulations

- 12% year-over-year revenue growth to $2.1 billion
- Diluted EPS of $1.45, beating consensus estimates by $0.08
