Forward guidance

The Company experienced challenges keeping up with demand in the second quarter in the United States and in EMEA, largely as a result of a shortage in aluminum cans.

Tailwinds

  • Secured aluminum cans in excess of our contracted volumes from the United States, South America and Asia, with expected deliveries increasing sequentially during the latter half of the year.
  • Entered into supply agreements with two new aluminum can suppliers in the United States, which are expected to be operational in the 2021 fourth quarter.
  • The energy drink category, and in particular our Monster Energy® brand, continues to demonstrate sustained growth in most of our markets.
  • Continued to secure distribution in both our domestic and international markets for our products, including our new products introduced earlier this year.
  • Planning for additional launches during the second half of 2021.

Headwinds

  • The Company experienced challenges keeping up with demand in the second quarter in the United States and in EMEA, largely as a result of a shortage in aluminum cans.
  • Shortage of shipping containers, as well as global port congestion may delay the arrival of imported cans.
  • Experienced freight inefficiencies in the United States and in EMEA, which resulted in increased costs of sales as well as increased operating expenses in the 2021 second quarter.
  • Continuing to experience increased input costs including from aluminum.
  • Ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and particularly of the Delta variant.
