SEC Filings & Insider Trading Activity 2026

Risk Factors

• • Concentrated TCCC dependency: all U.S. energy drink distribution routed through TCCC network; TCCC holds ~20.9% equity stake, blocking takeover unless 62.5% of non-TCCC shares align
• • Tariff exposure on aluminum and imported goods: U.S. raised steel/aluminum tariffs and imposed broad import tariffs; Monster cannot always pass cost increases to customers
• • International revenue ~41% of consolidated net sales in 2025, exposed to FX losses of $11.9M in 2025 and retaliatory trade measures in key markets
• • Named competitors PepsiCo (distribution deal with Celsius, Aug 2022), PRIME, Alani Nu, GHOST threatening shelf space and market share in core energy drink category
• • Alcohol Brands segment recorded $38.4M finite-lived intangible impairment and $15.3M property/equipment impairment in 2025; goodwill totals $1.33B at risk of further write-downs

Business Overview

• • Energy drink developer/marketer operating via TCCC distribution network; sells ready-to-drink cans and concentrates across 4 segments: Monster Energy, Strategic Brands, Alcohol Brands, and Other
• • 29 new SKUs launched in 2025 spanning energy and alcohol categories; notably Blind Lemon FMB line expanded to 4 flavors and Blinder Lemon added 2 new flavors
• • International sales grew to $3.44B in 2025 vs $2.96B in 2024 (+16% YoY); international bottlers/distributors now 43% of gross billings vs 41% in 2024, overtaking domestic share trajectory
• • 6,891 total employees across 80 countries as of Dec 31, 2025; sales/marketing headcount dominates at 4,555 of total workforce
• • Heightened regulatory pressure notable this filing: West Virginia banned 9 color additives/preservatives (now enjoined), Texas enacted ingredient warning labels, Lancaster CA imposed under-18 energy drink sales ban, and Mexico reformed IEPS to tax all flavored drinks with any sugar/sweetener

Management Discussion & Analysis

• • Net sales $8.29B, up $801.6M (+10.7% YoY); Monster Energy® Drinks segment led at $7.67B (+11.7%), Alcohol Brands worst at $134.7M (-21.8%)
• • Gross margin 55.8% vs 54.0%; operating margin 29.2% vs 25.8%; driven by Pricing Actions and supply chain optimization, partially offset by higher promotional allowances
• • Net income $1.91B (+26.3% YoY); operating income $2.42B (+25.3%); promotional allowances surged to $1.57B (+22.6%), reaching 16.0% of gross billings vs 14.7%
• • Operating cash flow $2.10B vs $1.93B; working capital $3.91B vs $2.54B; capex guided below $250M for 2026; stock repurchases and investment purchases remain primary capital uses
• • Key risks: tariff impact, potential SNAP/energy drink sales restrictions, U.S. policy scrutiny on ingredients, FX headwinds (~$3.0M unfavorable in 2025), and ongoing Alcohol Brands losses ($73.3M ex-impairment)
