Energy drink case volume climbed 28.8% to 274.5 million 192‑ounce equivalents, led by the Monster Energy Drinks segment, which generated $2.19 billion of net sales. International markets were a key driver, with sales outside the United States reaching $1.06 billion, or 45% of total net sales.
Gross profit grew to $1.29 billion, though gross margin slipped to 55.0% from 56.5%, mainly due to geographic mix and higher aluminum can and freight-in costs, partly offset by prior pricing actions.

Cash flow from operating activities was robust at $605.0 million, supporting continued investment and capital returns.
