Michael Kirban,該公司的聯合創始人兼執行主席表示:「我爲我們的團隊和第三季度的表現感到非常自豪。椰水品類仍然是飲料走廊中增長最快的品類之一,我們相信這種增長得益於我們作爲該品類領導者的專注,以推動家庭採納率的增加和新的消費場合。在第三季度的大部分時間內,我們減少的庫存可用性限制了我們滿足消費者需求的能力。隨着庫存狀況的改善,我預計今年餘下時間將會有加速增長。根據我們對 2025 年持續強勁品類增長的預期,我對即將到來的一切感到更加興奮。」
淨銷售額下降了5百萬美元,或4%,至2024年9月30日結束的第三季度的1.33億美元,相比之下,去年同期爲1.38億美元。淨銷售額下降是由私人品牌案裝等價("CE")成交量下降引起的,這比完全抵消了 Vita Coco 椰子水成交量增長。私人品牌下降是由於私人品牌油銷量減少,再加上主要由於供應限制導致私人品牌水銷量降低。
2024年第三季度的毛利潤爲5200萬美元,較上一年同期的5600萬美元下降。2024年第三季度的毛利率爲39%,較上一年同期的41%下降。毛利潤下降是由整體銷量減少和運輸成本增加驅動的,部分抵消的是價格/混合效應提高了 Vita Coco 椰子水淨定價和私人品牌價格/混合效應的影響。

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.
