Celsius posts strong Q1 with 21% energy drink market share, expects margin recovery by Q3/Q4

Celsius reported strong first-quarter results, beating expectations and demonstrating effective execution after recent acquisitions. The company now holds a 21% share of the energy drink market, boosted by acquisitions and PepsiCo distribution partnerships. Although gross margins have contracted, management expects improvements by the third or fourth quarter as integration synergies take effect. The outlook remains positive with international expansion and portfolio growth, despite risks from competition and execution challenges.
