Question · Q3 2025
Jon Andersen questioned the distribution ramp for Alani Nu, its potential to reach Celsius's current ACV and TDP levels, and how Celsius Holdings plans to collaborate with PepsiCo to avoid the inventory optimization issues experienced with Celsius in 2024.
Answer
CFO Jarrod Langhans stated that management has learned from the Celsius transition, with tighter team connections and captaincy providing more control to ensure an efficient and smooth flow for Alani Nu. Chairman and CEO John Fieldly added that Alani Nu has strong appeal, performing well in convenience, and that the captaincy allows control over planograms. He anticipates a more gradual, quarterly transition over the next three to six months, with the same ACV and TDP opportunities for Alani Nu as for the entire portfolio, leveraging a larger key accounts team and PepsiCo's food service opportunities.
