Unaudited interim financial information
The Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP can be condensed or omitted. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial information for the interim period presented. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026 or for any other interim period or for any other future year. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, there were no significant changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported net income, comprehensive income, cash flows, or shareholders’ equity.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include all the accounts of the wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
Preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management considers many factors in selecting appropriate financial accounting policies and controls in developing the estimates and assumptions that are used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements. Management must apply significant judgment in this process. In addition, other factors may affect estimates, including expected business and operational changes, sensitivity and volatility associated with the assumptions used in developing estimates, and whether historical trends are expected to be representative of future trends. Additionally, uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment resulting from current geopolitical and economic instability (including the effects of current wars and other international conflicts, as well as recently imposed tariffs) and the high interest rate and inflationary cost environment make estimates and assumptions difficult to calculate with precision. The estimation process often may yield a range of reasonable estimates of the ultimate future outcomes, and management must select an amount that falls within that range of reasonable estimates. The most significant estimates in the condensed consolidated financial statements relate to determining the value of trade promotions, share-based compensation, assessing long-lived assets for impairment, estimating the net realizable value of inventories, determining the accounts receivables reserve, assessing goodwill for impairment, and assessing the realizability of deferred income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company’s cash and accounts receivable are subject to concentrations of credit risk. The Company’s cash balances are primarily on deposit with banks in the U.S. which are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to $250. At times, such cash may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. To minimize the risk, the Company’s policy is to maintain cash balances with high quality institutions, which may include banks, financial institutions and investment firms, and invest daily or reserve operating cash in money market funds, government securities, bank obligations, municipal securities or other investment vehicles with short-term maturities.
Substantially all of the Company’s customers are either wholesalers or retailers of beverages. A material default in payment, a material reduction in purchases from these or any large customers, or the loss of a large customer or customer groups could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. The Company is exposed to concentration of credit risk from its major customers, for which two customers in aggregate represented 46% and 45% of total net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. In addition, the two customers in aggregate also accounted for 47% and 39% of total accounts receivable as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Company has not experienced credit issues with these customers. Refer to Note 7, Commitments and Contingencies regarding additional information on the Company's major customers.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Income Taxes
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, detail out reconciling items that are equal to or greater than 5% of income from continuing operations before income tax expense multiplied by the applicable statutory income tax rate, and break out income taxes by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the guidance on a retrospective basis for the year ended December 31, 2025. The adoption did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
Credit Losses
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025‑05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (“Topic 326”): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets (“ASU 2025-05”). ASU 2025-05 introduces a practical expedient that allows entities to estimate expected credit losses for current trade receivables and contract assets (within the scope of ASC 606) based on the assumption that current economic conditions will persist over the asset’s remaining life. The expedient applies only to receivables and contract assets that are expected to be collected within one year (or the operating cycle, if longer) and is intended to reduce complexity in applying the credit loss model under Topic 326. The standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Company adopted the guidance on a prospective basis as of January 1, 2026. The adoption did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025‑11, Interim Reporting ("Topic 270"): Narrow‑Scope Improvements. The amendments clarify the applicability, content, and disclosure requirements for interim financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The objective of ASU 2025‑11 is to improve the clarity and navigability of Topic 270 by consolidating existing interim reporting guidance, specifying required disclosures, and establishing a principle that entities disclose events and changes occurring after the most recent annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. ASU 2025‑11 is effective for interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact on the Company’s interim reporting and disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025‑06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software ("ASU 2025-06"). ASU 2025-06 removes the existing project stage model and introduces new capitalization criteria based on management authorization and the probability of project completion. It also clarifies the treatment of software development uncertainty and incorporates guidance on website development costs. ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-06 on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses ("ASU 2024-03"), which requires expenses in the consolidated statement of operations to be disaggregated into functional categories and separate significant individual expense items that are material to the understanding of the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, which clarified the adoption date to include interim periods with annual reporting periods after December 31, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
3. REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenues are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition ("ASC 606"). The Company disaggregates revenue into the following product categories:
•Vita Coco Coconut Water—This product category consists of all branded coconut water product offerings under the Vita Coco labels, where the majority ingredient is coconut water. The Company determined that the sale of the products represents a distinct performance obligation as customers can benefit from purchasing the products on their own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customers. For these products, control is transferred upon customer receipt, at which point the Company recognizes the transaction price for the product as revenue.
•Private Label—This product category consists of all Private Label products, which includes coconut water and oil. The Company determined the production and distribution of Private Label products represents a distinct performance obligation. Since there is no alternative use for these products and the Company has the right to payment for performance completed to date, the Company recognizes the revenue for the production of these Private Label products over time as the production for open purchase orders occurs, which may be prior to any shipment.
•Other—This product category consists of all other products, which includes Vita Coco product extensions beyond coconut water, consisting of coconut milk products, including Vita Coco Treats; and PWR LIFT product offerings; Vita Coco coconut oil sold internationally; and other revenue transactions (e.g., bulk product sales). For these products, control is transferred upon customer receipt, at which point the Company recognizes the transaction price for the product as revenue.
The Company excludes from revenues all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are imposed on the sale of its products and collected from customers.
The Company provides trade promotions and sales discounts to its customers and distributors. Since these sales promotions and sales discounts do not meet the criteria for a distinct good or service, they are primarily accounted for as a reduction of revenue and include payments to customers and distributors for performing activities on our behalf, such as payments for in-store displays, payments to gain distribution of new products, payments for shelf space and discounts to promote lower retail prices. These condensed consolidated financial statements include accruals for these promotions and discounts. The accruals are made for invoices that have not yet been received as of the end of the reporting period and are recorded as a reduction of sales, and are based on contract terms and our historical experience with similar programs and require management judgment with respect to estimating customer and consumer participation and performance levels.

6. DEBT
Credit Facility
In May 2020, the Company entered into a five-year credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association consisting of a revolving line of credit, which provides for committed borrowings of $60,000 (the "Credit Facility"). On February 14, 2025, the Credit Facility was amended, extending the maturity date five years to February 13, 2030. In connection with the amendment, the Company capitalized $90 of deferred financing costs, which are being amortized over the term of the facility. As of March 31, 2026, the unamortized deferred financing fees related to the revolver totaled $70 and are included in Other assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Borrowings on the Credit Facility bear interest at rates based on either: 1) a fluctuating rate per annum determined to be the sum of Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a spread defined in the credit agreement (the "Spread"); or 2) a fixed rate per annum determined to be the sum of the Term SOFR plus the Spread. The Spread ranges from 1.00% to 1.75%, which is based on the Company’s leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter as defined in the credit agreement. In addition, the Company was subject to unused commitment fees ranging from 0.10% and 0.20% on the unused amount of the line of credit through February 13, 2025, with the rate based on the Company’s leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility). Starting February 14, 2025, the unused commitment fees range from 0.13% and 0.23% on the unused amount of the line of credit, with the rate being based on the Company’s leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility).
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no outstanding balance and $60,000 undrawn and available under its amended Credit Facility. The Company incurred no interest expense for the Credit Facility for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively. The unused commitment fee for the Credit Facility amounted to $19 and $17 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively.
The Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets.
The Credit Facility contains certain affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability to, subject to various exceptions and qualifications: (i) incur liens; (ii) incur additional debt; (iii) sell, transfer or dispose of assets; (iv) merge with or acquire other companies; (v) make loans, advances or guarantees; (vi) make investments; (vii) make dividends and distributions on, or repurchases of, equity; and (viii) enter into certain transactions with affiliates. The Credit Facility also requires the Company to maintain certain financial covenants including a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, and a minimum asset coverage ratio. As of March 31, 2026, the Company was compliant with all financial covenants.
7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Contingencies:
Litigation—The Company may engage in various litigation matters in the ordinary course of business. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in such matters, based upon the advice of legal counsel, and is of the opinion that the resolution of these matters will not have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company records a liability when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount is reasonably estimable. The Company also discloses when it is reasonably possible that a material loss may be incurred. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company has not recorded any liabilities relating to such legal matters.
Business Risk—The Company imports finished goods predominantly from manufacturers located in South American and Asian countries. The Company may be subject to certain business risks due to potential instability in these regions.
Tariffs—In February 2026, the United States Supreme Court ruled that certain tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) were not authorized by statute. Following the ruling, the U.S. Court of International Trade ordered U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) to suspend collection of such tariffs and to establish a process to refund amounts previously collected. As a result of this ruling, the Company may be eligible to receive refunds of tariffs previously paid on qualifying imports. In April 2026, the Company filed refund claims with CBP related to eligible tariff payments made in prior periods. The timing and ultimate resolution of these refund claims, including the amount and timing of any cash receipts, are subject to administrative processing and remain uncertain as of the date the financial statements were issued. Accordingly, no amounts related to tariff refunds has been recognized in the
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company will recognize any refunds when realization is considered probable and the amounts are reasonably estimable.
Major Customers—The Company’s customers that accounted for 10% or more of total net sales and total accounts receivable were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Net sales | | Accounts receivable |
| Three Months Ended March 31, | | March 31, | | December 31, |
| 2026 | | 2025 | | 2026 | | 2025 |
| Customer A | 23 | % | | 19 | % | | 27 | % | | 9 | % |
| Customer B | 23 | % | | 26 | % | | 20 | % | | 30 | % |
Net sales include branded and Private Label products.
Major Suppliers—The Company’s suppliers that accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s purchases were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, |
| 2026 | | 2025 |
| Supplier A | 25 | % | | 14 | % |
| Supplier B | 12 | % | | 14 | % |
| Supplier C | 12 | % | | 9 | % |
| | | |
8. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with the ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815"). These principles require that all derivative instruments be recognized at fair value on each balance sheet date unless they qualify for a scope exclusion as a normal purchase or sales transaction, which is accounted for under the accrual method of accounting. In addition, these principles permit derivative instruments that qualify for hedge accounting to reflect the changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments through earnings or stockholders’ equity as other comprehensive income on a net basis until the hedged item is settled and recognized in earnings, depending on whether the derivative is being used to hedge changes in fair value or cash flows. The ineffective portion of a derivative instrument’s change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company did not have any derivative instruments that it had designated as fair value or cash flow hedges.
The Company is subject to the following currency risks:
Inventory Purchases from Brazilian, Malaysian and Thai Manufacturers—In order to mitigate the currency risk on inventory purchases from its Brazilian, Malaysian and Thai manufacturers, which are settled in Brazilian real ("BRL"), Malaysian ringgit ("MYR") and Thai baht ("THB"), the Company's subsidiary, All Market Singapore Pte. Ltd. ("AMS"), enters into a series of forward currency swaps to buy BRL, MYR and THB.
Intercompany Transactions Between AME and AMS—In order to mitigate the currency risk on intercompany transactions between AME and AMS, AMS enters into foreign currency swaps to sell British pounds ("GBP").
Intercompany Transactions with Canadian Customer and Vendors—In order to mitigate the currency risk on transactions with Canadian customer and vendors, the Company enters into foreign currency swaps to sell Canadian dollars ("CAD").
The notional amount and fair value of all outstanding derivative instruments in the condensed consolidated balance sheets consist of the following at:

The Company applies recurring fair value measurements to its derivative instruments in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements ("ASC 820"). In determining fair value, the Company used a market approach and incorporates the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable internally developed inputs.
9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
Based upon observability of the inputs used in valuation techniques, the Company’s assets and liabilities are classified as follows:
Level 1—Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted market prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes internally developed models and methodologies utilizing significant unobservable inputs.
Forward Currency Swap Contracts—See Note 8, Derivative Instruments, for a description of these contracts. The Company’s valuation methodology for forward currency swap contracts is based upon third-party institution data.
The Company’s fair value hierarchy for those assets (liabilities) measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Level 1 | | Level 2 | | Level 3 | | Total |
| | | Forward Currency Swaps/Contracts | | | | |
| March 31, 2026 | $ | — | | | $ | 2,051 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 2,051 | |
| December 31, 2025 | $ | — | | | $ | (775) | | | $ | — | | | $ | (775) | |
There were no transfers between any levels of the fair value hierarchy for any of the Company’s fair value measurements.
10. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Common and Treasury Stock—Each share of Common Stock entitles its holder to one vote on matters required to be voted on by the stockholders of the Company and to receive dividends, when and if declared by the Company’s Board.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company held 7,329,649 and 7,104,376 shares, respectively, in treasury stock. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had 2,799,302 and 2,941,343 shares, respectively, of Common Stock available for issuance upon the conversion of outstanding equity awards under the 2021 Incentive Award Plan ("2021 Plan").
On October 30, 2023, the Company's Board approved a share repurchase program (the "Repurchase Program") authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $40,000 of Common Stock. On April 28, 2025, the Company's Board approved an additional $25,000 to the Repurchase Program, authorizing the Company to repurchase up to a total of $65,000 of the Company's Common Stock. There were no other changes made to the terms of the Repurchase Program. Shares of Common Stock may be repurchased under the Repurchase Program from time to time through open market purchases, block trades, private transactions or accelerated or other structured share repurchase programs. To the extent not retired, shares of Common Stock repurchased under the Repurchase Program will be placed in the Company's treasury shares. The extent to which the Company repurchases shares of Common Stock, and the timing of such repurchases, will depend upon a variety of factors, including market conditions, regulatory requirements and other corporate considerations, as determined by the Company. The Repurchase Program has no time limits and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The Company repurchased 225,273 shares under the Repurchase Program at a cost of $11,505 during the three months ended March 31, 2026. The Company repurchased 363,930 shares under the Repurchase Program at a cost of $11,269 during the year ended December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $29,423 remaining under the Repurchase Program.
11. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The stockholders of the Company approved the adoption of the Company’s 2014 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “2014 Plan”). The 2014 Plan allowed for a maximum of 8% of the sum of the Available Equity defined as the sum of: (i) the total then outstanding shares of common shares; and (ii) all available stock options (i.e., granted and
outstanding stock options and stock options not yet granted). Under the terms of the 2014 Plan, the Company may grant employees, directors and consultants stock options and restricted stock awards and has the authority to establish the specific terms of each award, including exercise price, expiration and vesting. The 2014 Plan includes only outstanding stock options, all of which were granted before the Company's IPO. Generally, stock options issued pursuant to the 2014 Plan contain exercise prices no less than the fair value of Common Stock on the date of grant and have a ten-year contractual term.
Subsequent to September 30, 2021, the stockholders of the Company approved the adoption of the 2021 Incentive Award Plan ("2021 Plan"), which became effective after the closing of the IPO. On and after closing of the offering and the effectiveness of the 2021 Plan, no further grants have been made under the 2014 Plan. The maximum number of shares of our Common Stock available for issuance under the 2021 Plan is equal to the sum of: (i) 3,431,312 shares of our Common Stock; and (ii) an annual increase on the first day of each year beginning in 2022 and ending in and including 2031, equal to the lesser of (A) two percent (2%) of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year; and (B) such lesser amount as determined by our Board; provided, however, no more than 3,431,312 shares may be issued upon the exercise of incentive stock options ("ISOs"). The 2021 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, including ISOs and nonqualified stock options ("NSOs"), dividend equivalents, stock payments, service-based restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance-based restricted stock units ("PSUs"), other incentive awards, stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), and cash awards. For the year beginning January 1, 2026, the Board elected not to increase the shares available for the 2021 Plan. As of March 31, 2026, only stock options, RSUs, and PSUs have been granted under the 2021 Plan.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded stock compensation costs totaling:

The following table summarizes the performance-based stock option activity during the three months ended March 31, 2026:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

Service-based and Performance-based Restricted Stock
RSUs were granted under the 2021 Plan and primarily vest based on continuous service. The RSUs with service-based vesting conditions awarded to the employees have differing vesting schedules as specified in each grant agreement. The RSUs granted to non-employee directors vest in full on the earlier of: (i) the day immediately preceding the date of the first Annual Shareholders Meeting following the date of grant; or (ii) the first anniversary of the date of grant. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, the Company also granted performance‑based restricted stock units (“PSUs”), which are subject to achievement of various performance goals in the future, specifically net sales growth and Adjusted EBITDA targets. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, based on an evaluation of the Company’s updated financial outlook, the Company determined that achievement of the maximum performance targets for certain PSU awards was probable. As a result, the Company updated its estimate of total compensation cost for these awards and recorded a cumulative catch‑up adjustment to stock‑based compensation expense in the three months ended March 31, 2026 to reflect the portion of the revised cost attributable to service rendered. The Company will continue to monitor actual performance relative to the prescribed targets and update its estimate of expected vesting outcomes as appropriate over the remaining performance period.

14. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company has two operating and reportable segments:
•Americas—The Americas segment is comprised primarily of the U.S. and Canada, and derives its revenues from the marketing and distribution of various coconut water and non-coconut water products (e.g., coconut oil and milk). The Company’s protein infused fitness drink (PWR LIFT) is marketed only in the Americas segment.
•International—The International segment is comprised primarily of Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific. Asia Pacific includes the Company’s procurement arm and derives its revenues from the marketing and distribution of various coconut water and non-coconut water products, including product that is shipped directly to customers outside of Asia Pacific regions.
All intercompany transactions between the segments have been eliminated.
The Company’s CEO is the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and manages and allocates resources between the Americas and International segments. Consistent with this decision-making process, the CODM uses financial information disaggregated between the Americas and International segment for purposes of evaluating performance, forecasting future period financial results, allocating resources and setting incentive targets. The CODM evaluates segment business performance based primarily on net sales and gross profit. The CODM considers budget-to-actual variances on a monthly basis for both measures when making decisions about allocating capital and personnel to the segments and also uses segment gross profit for evaluating product pricing.
