Investing.com -- The Vita Coco Company, Inc. (NASDAQ:COCO) reported first-quarter earnings that surpassed analyst expectations, driving its shares up 3.7% in response to the news.
The beverage company posted adjusted earnings per share of $0.31, beating the analyst estimate of $0.20 by $0.11. Revenue for the quarter came in at $131 million, exceeding the consensus estimate of $125.17 million and representing a 17% increase YoY.
Vita Coco Coconut Water, the company’s flagship product, saw robust growth of 25% globally, with a 24% increase in the Americas and 36% growth internationally.
"I am very proud of our team and how we have started 2025," said Michael Kirban, the Company’s Co-Founder and Executive Chairman. "The coconut water category remains one of the fastest growing categories in the beverage aisle, showing strong growth in the United States, the United Kingdom (TADAWUL:4280) and Germany."
The company reaffirmed its full-year 2025 guidance, projecting net sales between $555 million and $570 million, slightly below the analyst consensus of $569.2 million at the midpoint. Vita Coco expects mid to high teens growth for its Coconut Water product line.
Gross margin for the quarter was 37%, down from 42% in the same period last year, due to higher ocean freight rates and finished goods product costs. However, this was partially offset by branded coconut water pricing and favorable product mix.
The company’s financial position remains strong, with $154 million in cash and cash equivalents and no debt as of March 31, 2025.
