Full Year Net Sales Increased 15% to $494 million Driven by Vita Coco Coconut Water Growth of 14%
Full Year Net Income of $47 million and Full Year Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA1 of $68 million
For Fiscal Year 2024, Expect Net Revenue between $495-$505 million and Adjusted EBITDA2 between $74-$78 million
NEW YORK, Feb. 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Vita Coco Company, Inc. (NASDAQ:COCO) (“Vita Coco” or “the Company”), a leading high-growth platform of better-for-you beverage brands, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023.
Fourth Quarter 2023 Highlights Compared to Prior Year
- Net sales grew 15% to $106 million, driven by strong 8% net sales growth and 3% volume growth of Vita Coco Coconut Water.
- Gross profit was $40 million, or 37% of net sales, an increase of $17 million, compared to 24% of net sales, with the improvement driven by lower year-over-year transportation costs, volume growth and higher Vita Coco Coconut Water pricing.
- Net income was $7 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(3) million, or $(0.05) per diluted share. Net income benefited from strong net sales growth and gross margin improvement resulting primarily from decreased transportation costs, partially offset by increased investments in selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses.
- Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA1 was $8 million compared to $4 million, up $4 million due to improvements in gross profit partially offset by increased SG&A spending.
Full Year 2023 Highlights Compared to Prior Year
- Net sales grew 15% to $494 million, driven by strong 14% net sales growth and 11% volume growth of Vita Coco Coconut Water.
- Gross profit was $181 million, or 37% of net sales, compared to $103 million, or 24.2% of net sales, with the increase driven primarily by lower year-over-year transportation costs, volume growth and increased Vita Coco Coconut Water pricing.
- Net income was $47 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, compared to $8 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, with the increase driven by strong net sales growth and gross margin improvement resulting primarily from decreased transportation costs, partially offset by increased investments in SG&A, losses on foreign exchange, and increased tax expense.
- Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA1 was $68 million compared to $20 million due to improvements in gross profit partially offset by increased SG&A spending.
Michael Kirban, the Company's Co-Founder and Executive Chairman, stated, “I am very proud of our team and the record performance achieved in 2023. Our focus and investment to expand consumption occasions of coconut water contributed to strong volume performance for the category and for our flagship Vita Coco Coconut Water brand. The organization's ability to drive brand volume growth through strong retail execution and creative marketing programs, while continuing to improve profitability and cash generation at the same time is something that every member of the team should be proud of. As we enter our company's 20th year in business, we are committed to continuing to grow the coconut water category, and I could not be more excited for what is to come.”
Martin Roper, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are extremely pleased with this year's results with 15% net sales growth, Net Income of $47 million, and Adjusted EBITDA1 of $68 million, which were all at the high end of our expectations. The coconut water category is healthy and our team continues to deliver strong results across our major markets as we gain branded share and benefit from our private label coconut water supply relationships. We expect our full year 2024 net sales to be between $495 and $505 million, driven by healthy coconut water volume growth, offset by the loss of some of our private label coconut oil business. While the macro environment remains very dynamic, we expect 2024 Adjusted EBITDA2 to be between $74 and $78 million. We remain focused on driving long term growth of the coconut water category and our brands.”
Fourth Quarter 2023 Consolidated Results
Net sales increased $14 million, or 15%, to $106 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to $92 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022. The increase in net sales was driven by higher case equivalent ("CE") volumes of coconut water coupled with some benefits from net pricing actions on branded products partially offset by price/mix of private label products.
Improved gross margins and gross profit versus prior year resulted primarily from the reduction of transportation costs coupled with increased branded pricing and higher sales volumes. Gross profit was $40 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $22 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022. Gross margin of 37.5% in the fourth quarter of 2023, increased from 24.4% in the same period last year.
SG&A expenses in the fourth quarter of 2023 were $34 million, compared to $27 million in the same prior year period. The increase was largely due to investments in marketing expenses and higher personnel related expenses.
Net income was $7 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to a net loss of $(3) million, or $(0.05) per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2022. Net income benefited from strong gross profit, partially offset by increased SG&A investments.
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA1 for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $8 million, compared to $4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA1 was primarily driven by strong net sales growth and gross margin improvement resulting primarily from decreased transportation costs, increased volume, and improved branded pricing, partially offset by increased investments in SG&A.
Full Year 2023 Consolidated Results
Net sales increased $66 million, or 15%, to $494 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $428 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in net sales was driven by higher coconut water CE volumes across both the Americas and International segments, including Vita Coco Coconut Water volume growth of 11%.
Gross profit increased by $77 million, or 75%, to $181 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, from $103 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, driven by volume growth, transportation cost decreases and some benefit from improved Vita Coco Coconut Water pricing. Gross margin was 36.6% for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to 24.2% for the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily due to transportation cost decreases.
SG&A expenses increased by $24 million, or 24%, to $124 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, from $100 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by investments in sales and marketing expenses and a net increase in people costs.
Net income was $47 million, or $0.79 per diluted share for the year ended 2023, compared to $8 million, or $0.14 per diluted share in the prior year. The increase versus prior year was primarily driven by the increase in gross profit from decreased transportation costs and higher volumes, offset by investments in SG&A, partially offset by the less favorable impact of the non-cash mark-to-market gain in fair value on foreign currency hedges and increased tax expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA1 for the year ended 2023 was $68 million, compared to $20 million in 2022. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA1 was primarily driven by strong net sales growth and gross margin improvement resulting primarily from decreased transportation costs, volume growth and higher branded pricing, partially offset by increased investments in SG&A.

Fiscal Year 2024 Full Year Outlook
The Company is providing the following guidance:
- Expect 2024 net sales to be between $495 million and $505 million, with projected Vita Coco Coconut Water and private label coconut water volume growth, being offset by expected decreases in private label coconut oil business and price/mix effects.
- Full year gross margin expected to be between 36% and 38%, with some uncertainty related to transportation cost impacts from recent increases in ocean freight routes.
- SG&A expenses expected to be approximately flat to 2023.
- Forecasting Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $74 million to $78 million2.
Uncertainty and instability of the current operating environment, global economies, and geopolitical landscape could affect this outlook and our future results.
Footnotes:
(1) Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization as adjusted for certain items as set forth in the reconciliation table of U.S. GAAP to non-GAAP information and is a measure calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with GAAP. Please refer to the Non-GAAP Financial Measures herein for further discussion and reconciliation of this measure to GAAP measures.
(2) GAAP Net Income 2024 outlook is not provided due to the inherent difficulty in quantifying certain amounts due to a variety of factors including the unpredictability in the movement in foreign currency rates, as well as future charges or reversals outside of the normal course of business.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company also discloses certain non-GAAP results of operations, including, but not limited to, Adjusted EBITDA, that include certain adjustments or exclude certain charges and gains that are described in the reconciliation table of U.S. GAAP to non-GAAP information provided at the end of this release. These non-GAAP measures are a key metric used by management and our board of directors to assess our financial performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance and because we believe it is useful for investors to see the measures that management uses to evaluate the Company. In addition, we believe the presentation of these measures is useful to investors for period-to-period comparisons of results as the items described below in the reconciliation tables do not reflect ongoing operating performance.
These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, U.S. GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate such measures differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure. Investors should not rely on any single financial measure when evaluating our business. This information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute for our operating results in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We recommend investors review the U.S. GAAP financial measures included in this earnings release. When viewed in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations, we believe these non-GAAP measures provide greater transparency and a more complete understanding of factors affecting our business than U.S. GAAP measures alone.
