MONSTER BEVERAGE REPORTS 2021 FOURTH QUARTER
AND FULL-YEAR FINANCIAL RESULTS
-- Record Fourth Quarter Net Sales Rise 19.1 Percent to $1.43 Billion --
-- Record Annual Net Sales Increased to $5.54 Billion --
-- Company Continues to Address Increased Costs, some of which are likely to be Transitory, through
Reductions in Promotions and other Pricing Actions --
Corona, CA – February 24, 2022 – Monster Beverage Corporation (NASDAQ: MNST) today reported financial results for the three- and twelve-months ended December 31, 2021.
The Company achieved record fourth quarter and full-year net sales, with annual net sales exceeding the $5.5 billion mark for the first time in the Company’s history, notwithstanding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company.
Despite certain challenges in the 2021 fourth quarter, the Company achieved solid results overall. The comparative 2020 fourth quarter included a non-recurring tax benefit of $165.1 million (the “Non-Recurring Tax Benefit”), as well as reduced marketing, sponsorships and certain other operating expenses, largely as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. These items should be taken into consideration when evaluating comparative performance over the 2020 fourth quarter and full-year.
During the 2021 fourth quarter, the Company continued to procure additional quantities of aluminum cans from suppliers in the United States and abroad in response to increased consumer demand.
In addition, the Company continued to experience additional global supply chain challenges, including, freight inefficiencies, shortages of shipping containers, port of entry congestion, and delays in the receipt of certain ingredients, some of which are likely to be transitory. In the United States, the Company lacked sufficient co-packing capacity to meet increased demand for certain of its products. As a result, the Company was not able to fully satisfy increased demand for its products in a number of markets in the 2021 fourth quarter.

During the 2021 fourth quarter, the Company experienced increased aluminum can costs attributable to higher aluminum commodity pricing, as well as the costs of importing aluminum cans. In addition, the Company experienced increased ingredient and other input costs, including shipping and freight, labor, trucking, fuel, co-packing fees, secondary packaging materials, increased outbound freight costs and production inefficiencies, which resulted in increased costs of sales and increased operating costs.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $1.33 billion in cash and cash equivalents, $1.75 billion in short-term investments and $99.4 million in long-term investments. Based on currently available information, the Company does not expect the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic to have a material impact on its liquidity.
Fourth Quarter Results
Net sales for the 2021 fourth quarter increased 19.1 percent to $1.43 billion from $1.20 billion in the comparable period last year. Net changes in foreign currency exchange rates had an unfavorable impact on net sales for the 2021 fourth quarter of $2.4 million.
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 and True North® Pure Energy Seltzers, increased 20.7 percent to $1.35 billion for the 2021 fourth quarter, from $1.12 billion for the 2020 fourth quarter. Net changes in foreign currency exchange rates had an unfavorable impact on net sales for the Monster Energy® Drinks segment of approximately $2.7 million for the 2021 fourth quarter.
The comparative net sales for the 2020 fourth quarter as well as the comparative net sales for the Monster Energy® Drinks segment for the 2020 fourth quarter were negatively impacted by $15.2 million related to product returns from our customers as a result of a European formulation issue with a limited number of products in Europe and a labeling issue concerning one product in Japan (the “2020 Product Returns”).
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, decreased 3.5 percent to $65.6 million for the 2021 fourth quarter, from $67.9 million in the 2020 fourth quarter, largely due to shortages of flavor concentrates for certain of the Company’s NOS® brand energy drinks. Net changes in foreign currency exchange rates had a favorable impact on net sales for the Strategic Brands segment of approximately $0.3 million for the 2021 fourth quarter.
Net sales for the Company’s Other segment, which 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 to $6.0 million for the 2021 fourth quarter, from $6.7 million in the 2020 fourth quarter.
Net sales to customers outside the United States increased 32.0 percent to $508.1 million in the 2021 fourth quarter, from $384.8 million in the 2020 fourth quarter. Such sales were approximately 36 percent of total net sales in the 2021 fourth quarter, compared with 32 percent in the 2020 fourth quarter.

Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, for the 2021 fourth quarter was 53.9 percent, compared with 57.7 percent in the 2020 fourth quarter. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the 2021 fourth quarter was primarily the result of increased freight-in costs, increased aluminum can costs attributable to higher aluminum commodity pricing, geographical and product sales mix, and production inefficiencies.
Operating expenses for the 2021 fourth quarter were $354.7 million, compared with $288.4 million in the 2020 fourth quarter. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to increased out-bound freight and warehouse costs, increased expenditures for sponsorships and endorsements, increased expenditures for other marketing activities, including social media and digital marketing and increased payroll costs. During the comparative 2020 fourth quarter, the Company decreased expenditures for sponsorship and endorsements and decreased expenditures for travel and entertainment, each largely as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was less pronounced on the Company’s sales and marketing programs during the 2021 fourth quarter. Operating expenses for the 2019 fourth quarter (pre COVID-19) were $293.7 million.
Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales for the 2021 fourth quarter were 24.9 percent, compared with 24.1 percent in the 2020 fourth quarter. Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales for the 2019 fourth quarter (pre COVID-19) were 28.9 percent.
Distribution costs for the 2021 fourth quarter increased to $69.8 million, an increase of 48.4 percent, or 4.9 percent of net sales, compared to $47.0 million, or 3.9 percent of net sales in the 2020 fourth quarter, and 3.5 percent of net sales in the 2019 fourth quarter.
Selling expenses as a percentage of net sales for the 2021 fourth quarter were 9.9 percent, compared with 9.8 percent in the 2020 fourth quarter, and 12.3 percent in the 2019 fourth quarter.
General and administrative expenses for the 2021 fourth quarter were $143.9 million, or 10.1 percent of net sales, compared with $123.8 million, or 10.4 percent of net sales, for the 2020 fourth quarter. Stock-based compensation was $18.1 million for the 2021 fourth quarter, compared with $17.2 million in the 2020 fourth quarter.
Operating income for the 2021 fourth quarter increased to $412.9 million, from $402.3 million in the 2020 fourth quarter.
The effective tax rate for the 2021 fourth quarter was 23.3 percent, compared with -17.7 percent in the 2020 fourth quarter. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the Non-Recurring Tax Benefit of approximately $165.1 million recognized in the comparative 2020 fourth quarter. The effective tax rate for the 2020 fourth quarter (excluding the Non-Recurring Tax Benefit) was 23.5 percent.
Net income for the 2021 fourth quarter decreased 31.9 percent to $321.3 million, from $471.7 million in the 2020 fourth quarter. Net income per diluted share for the 2021 fourth quarter decreased 32.1 percent to $0.60, from $0.88 in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Net income for the comparative 2020 fourth quarter (excluding the Non-Recurring Tax Benefit, the impact of the 2020 Product Returns, associated inventory provisions and other related costs) was $328.6 million. Net income per diluted share for the comparative 2020 fourth quarter (excluding the Non-Recurring Tax Benefit, the impact of the 2020 Product Returns, associated inventory provisions and other related costs) was $0.62.

Rodney C. Sacks, Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer, said: “We are pleased to report record net sales for the 2021 fourth quarter, despite the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly of the Omicron variant.
“We are excited with the sustained growth in the global energy drink category, and specifically with the growth of our Monster Energy® brand.
“In the fourth quarter of 2021, we expanded distribution of our brands in certain international markets. In the United States, we launched our Monster® (stylized) Reserve line in the 2021 fourth quarter and early in 2022 we launched Juice Monster® Aussie Lemonade, Rehab® Monster Watermelon, Reign Total Body Fuel™, Reignbow Sherbet™ and Ultra Peachy Keen™.
“We completed our acquisition of CANarchy Craft Brewery Collective LLC on February 17, 2022. We are enthusiastic about the opportunities this acquisition presents to us in the alcohol space and through their distribution network,” Sacks added.
Vice Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer Hilton H. Schlosberg said: “We are pleased with the results for the Company in what was a challenging fourth quarter. We continued to experience challenges meeting demand in the United States and EMEA in the fourth quarter, largely as a result of a shortage in aluminum cans, the availability of co-packing capacity and procurement difficulties in other inputs. The shortage of shipping containers and global port congestion continues to impact our operations. Due to the actions we have taken to procure additional aluminum cans from domestic sources as well as from imports, and with production from two new aluminum can suppliers in the United States, we currently have sufficient supplies of aluminum cans to meet demand. However, we continue to experience shortages in the availability of co-packing capacity for certain of our products. We believe that some of the increased costs we are experiencing are likely to be transitory, as we begin to decrease our reliance on the use of imported aluminum cans, as well as increasing our inventory levels in proximity to our customers, thus reducing the excess costs of long-distance transportation and freight.
“We continue to implement measures to mitigate the impact of increased costs experienced in our supply chain through reductions in promotions and other pricing actions in the United States and in EMEA,” Schlosberg added.
2021 Full-Year Results
The comparative 2020 full-year results included the Non-Recurring Tax Benefit of $165.1 million, as well as reduced marketing, sponsorships and certain other operating expenses, largely as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. These items should be taken into consideration when evaluating comparative performance over the 2020 full-year.
Net sales for the twelve-months ended December 31, 2021 increased 20.5 percent to $5.54 billion, from $4.60 billion in the comparable period last year. Net changes in foreign currency exchange rates had a favorable impact on net sales for the twelve-months ended December 31, 2021 of $61.9 million.

Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, for the twelve-months ended December 31, 2021 was 56.1 percent, compared with 59.2 percent in the comparable period last year. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2021 was primarily the result of increased aluminum can costs attributable to higher aluminum commodity pricing, increased costs of certain other raw materials and ingredients, increased freight-in costs and geographical sales mix.
Operating expenses for the twelve-months ended December 31, 2021 were $1.31 billion, compared with $1.09 billion in the comparable period last year. During the comparative 2020 period, the Company decreased expenditures for sponsorship and endorsements and decreased expenditures for travel and entertainment, each largely as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was less pronounced on the Company’s sales and marketing programs during the year ended December 31, 2021. Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019 (pre COVID-19) were $1.12 billion.
Operating income for the twelve-months ended December 31, 2021 increased to $1.80 billion, from $1.63 billion in the comparable period last year.
The effective tax rate was 23.5 percent for the twelve-months ended December 31, 2021, compared with 13.3 percent in the comparable period last year. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the Non-Recurring Tax Benefit. The effective tax rate for the comparative twelve-months ended December 31, 2020 (excluding the Non-Recurring Tax Benefit) was 23.5 percent.
Net income for the twelve-months ended December 31, 2021 decreased 2.3 percent to $1.38 billion, from $1.41 billion in the comparable period last year. Net income per diluted share for the twelve-months ended December 31, 2021 decreased 2.4 percent to $2.57, from $2.64 in the comparable period last year.
Net income for the comparative twelve-months ended December 31, 2020 (excluding the Non-Recurring Tax Benefit, the impact of the 2020 Product Returns, associated inventory provisions and other related costs) was $1.27 billion, compared with $1.38 billion in 2021, an increase of 8.8 percent. Net income per diluted share for the comparative twelve-months ended December 31, 2020 (excluding the Non-Recurring Tax Benefit, the impact of the 2020 Product Returns, associated inventory provisions and other related costs) was $2.37, compared with $2.57 in 2021, an increase of 8.6 percent.
Share Repurchase Program
No shares of the Company’s common stock were repurchased during the 2021 fourth quarter. As of February 24, 2022, approximately $441.5 million remained available for repurchase under the previously authorized repurchase program.
