Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 18, 2026 (the “Form 10-K”). This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current plans, expectations and beliefs involving risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of the Form 10-K and other factors set forth in the Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

Overview

The Vita Coco Company pioneered packaged coconut water in 2004 and we have extended our business into other categories. Our mission is to deliver great tasting, natural and nutritious products that we believe are better for consumers and better for the world. We are one of the largest brands globally in the coconut and other plant waters category, and a large supplier of Private Label coconut water.

Our branded portfolio is led by our Vita Coco brand, which is the leader in the coconut water category in the United States, and also includes coconut oil, juice, and milk offerings. Our portfolio also includes PWR LIFT, a protein-infused fitness drink. Additionally, we supply Private Label products to key retailers in both the coconut water and coconut oil categories and generate revenue from bulk product sales to beverage and food companies.

As of March 31, 2026, we source our products from a diversified global network of approximately 16 factories, supported by coconut farmers across six countries. As we do not own any of these facilities, our supply chain is a fixed asset-lite model designed to better service our customers and react to changes in the market or consumer preferences.

Vita Coco is available in over 35 countries, with our primary markets located in North America, the United Kingdom, and Germany. Our primary markets for Private Label are North America and Europe. Our products are distributed primarily through club, food, drug, mass, convenience, e-commerce and food service channels. Our products are also available in a variety of on-premise locations such as corporate offices, fitness clubs, airports, and educational institutions.

Key Factors Affecting Our Performance

We believe that our performance and future success depend on a number of factors that present significant opportunities for us. For changes to such factors from those described in the Form 10-K under the heading “Key Factors Affecting our Performance” please see below and the risks and challenges discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of this Form 10-Q and our the Form 10-K.

•Our global supply chain is subject to risks arising from geopolitical instability, including the ongoing military conflict involving Iran, as well as volatility in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and our cost of goods including raw materials, factory costs, and transportation costs. The extent and duration of these conditions, and their ultimate impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity, cannot be determined with precision. For a further discussion of the risks and challenges posed by these events, please see Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of this Form 10-Q and our Form 10-K.

•The U.S. government implemented a 10% baseline tariff plus country-specific reciprocal rates effective April 2, 2025, with revised rates announced in early August 2025 of approximately 20% for Asian sourcing countries and 50% for Brazil. We source to the U.S. primarily from the Philippines and Brazil, with additional supply from Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Canada, Mexico, and Indonesia. Our Mexico and Canada imports currently remain exempt under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (“USMCA”). In November 2025, the White House granted relief from reciprocal tariffs for certain agricultural products, including the tariff codes applicable to coconut water products, which represent the majority of our portfolio, and waived incremental tariffs on coconut water imports from Brazil. These actions significantly reduced our tariff burden after November 21, 2025, although certain miscellaneous tariffs remain in effect.

•On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that certain tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") were unlawful. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection opened a portal on April 20, 2026 for tariff refund claims. The Company has filed refund claims for approximately $15.6

million of tariffs paid in 2025. The timing of any refunds and whether all claims will be accepted are uncertain. Accordingly, no recovery has been recognized in the accompanying financial statements. The administration has announced its intent to impose additional tariffs under other statutory authorities. While new tariffs announced to date have not materially impacted us, the duration, scope, and impact of future tariff policies remain uncertain and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We will continue to monitor the evolving tariff environment and may pursue pricing adjustments, sourcing modifications, and other cost-mitigation measures, but there can be no assurance that we will fully mitigate the impact of future tariff changes or related economic effects.

•Our sales to one of our major customers include branded and Private Label product. As discussed in the Form 10-K, the Private Label coconut oil business with this customer discontinued in early 2024 and we also experienced an impact in Private Label coconut water sales in 2025 with this customer due to the loss of some regions that we previously serviced for this customer. In early 2026, at the request of this customer, we restarted supply to one of those lost regions. We will continue to service their needs if we are asked and it aligns with our long-term targets. For a further discussion of the risks and challenges posed by these events, please see Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of the Form 10-K.

Components of Our Results of Operations

Net Sales

We generate revenue through the sale of our Vita Coco branded coconut water, Private Label, and Other products in the Americas and International segments. Our sales are predominantly made to distributors or to retailers for final sale to consumers through retail channels, which includes sales to traditional brick and mortar retailers, who may also resell our products through their own online platforms. Our revenue is recognized net of allowances for returns, discounts, credits, and any taxes collected from consumers.

We provide trade promotions and sales discounts to our 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. The accompanying 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.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold includes the costs of the products sold to customers, inbound and outbound shipping and handling costs, freight, duties and tariffs, shipping and packaging supplies, and warehouse fulfillment costs.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit is net sales less cost of goods sold, and gross margin is gross profit as a percentage of net sales. Gross profit has been, and will continue to be, affected by various factors, including the mix of products we sell, the channels through which we sell our products, the promotional environment in the marketplace, manufacturing costs, commodity prices, warehouse costs, tariffs, and transportation rates. We expect that our gross margin will fluctuate from period to period depending on the interplay of these variables.

Management believes gross margin provides investors with useful information related to the profitability of our business prior to considering the operating costs incurred. Management uses gross profit and gross margin as key measures in making financial, operating, and planning decisions and in evaluating our performance.

Operating Expenses

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") include marketing expenses, promotional expenses, and general and administrative expenses. Marketing and promotional expenses consist primarily of costs incurred promoting and marketing our products and are primarily driven by investments to grow our business and retain customers. General and administrative expenses include payroll, employee benefits, stock-based compensation, broker commissions and other headcount-related expenses associated with supply chain & operations, finance, information technology, human resources

and other administrative-related personnel, as well as general overhead costs of the business, including research and development for new innovations, rent and related facilities and maintenance costs, depreciation and amortization, and legal, accounting, and professional fees.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Derivative Instruments

We are subject to foreign currency risks as a result of our inventory purchases and intercompany transactions. In order to mitigate the foreign currency risks, we and our subsidiaries enter into foreign currency exchange contracts which are recorded at fair value. Unrealized gain/(loss) on derivative instruments consists of gains or losses on such foreign currency exchange contracts which are unsettled as of period end. See Part I, Item 3 “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Foreign Currency Exchange Risk” for further information.

Foreign Currency Gain (Loss)

Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. We maintain the financial statements of each entity within the group in its local currency, which is also the entity’s functional currency. Foreign currency gain/(loss) represents the transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency. See “—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Foreign Currency Exchange Risk” for further information.

Interest Income

Interest income consists of interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents, and money market funds.

Income Tax Expense

We are subject to federal and state income taxes in the United States and taxes in foreign jurisdictions in which we operate. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using statutory rates. We regularly assess the need to record a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is mo

We also previously offered Runa, a plant-based energy drink inspired by the guayusa plant native to Ecuador, which we ceased selling in December 2023 and impaired all remaining assets in September 2025. Additionally, we supply Private Label products to key retailers in both the coconut water and coconut oil categories and generate revenue from bulk product sales to beverage and food companies.

We source our coconut water from a diversified global network of approximately 16 factories across six countries supported by thousands of coconut farmers. As we do not own any of these factories, our supply chain is a fixed asset-lite

model designed to better react to changes in the market or consumer preferences. We also work with co-packers to support local packaging and repacking of our products and to better service our customers’ needs.

Vita Coco is available in over 35 countries, with our primary markets in North America, the United Kingdom, and Germany. Our primary markets for Private Label are North America and Europe. Our products are distributed primarily through club, food, drug, mass, convenience, e-commerce, and food service channels. Our products are also available in a variety of on-premise locations such as corporate offices, fitness clubs, airports, and educational institutions.

Key Factors Affecting Our Performance

We believe that the growth of our business and our future success are dependent upon many factors, including the key trends and uncertainties highlighted below:

Risks Associated with our Supply Chain and Shipping

    Our global asset-light supply chain model has been an integral part of our ability to efficiently scale our business and compete in the marketplace, and to support our Private Label business. This asset-light model allows us to effectively manage total delivery costs and afford greater ability to shift volume between our suppliers to optimize our supply chain, and better manage our supply levels. In addition, our scale of sourcing has allowed us to add capacity as needed and service retailers more reliably, and we believe that our global position as one of the largest and highest quality coconut water procurers in the world protects our customer and supplier relationships.

However, in order to make our supply chain model successful and efficient, we source a large amount of our finished goods from international countries, which exposes us to international supply chain inflation, particularly ocean freight. Uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment resulting from geopolitical and economic instability (including the effects of current wars and other international conflicts) and variability in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and inflationary cost environments may affect our global supply chain. Inflation rates and foreign exchange rate movements varies by country and relevant period, and can impact our expenses significantly.

Throughout 2025, we faced evolving tariff pressures, beginning with the implementation of a 10% baseline U.S. tariff and country specific rates. This was followed by reciprocal tariffs announced in August 2025 of approximately 20% for Asian countries from which we source, and incremental tariffs that raised the effective rate to 50% for Brazil. Imports from Mexico and Canada remained exempt under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement ("USMCA"). At the end of the third quarter of 2025, we estimated our weighted average tariff rate was 23% based on third quarter sourcing, and continued our attempts to mitigate. On November 14, 2025, the White House announced relief from the reciprocal tariffs for certain agricultural products, which included the tariff codes applicable to coconut water products, which are the bulk of our portfolio, and on November 21, 2025, a waiver on the incremental tariffs on coconut water from Brazil was announced. These November announcements significantly reduced the tariff burden on our importation of our coconut water products post November 21, 2025, although miscellaneous tariffs remain. The various tariff rates resulted in $16 million of tariffs paid in 2025.

We also experienced significant inflation and instability on transportation costs over the past four years, which affected our costs and margins significantly. Although we saw these transportation costs return to near pre-pandemic levels in the middle of 2023, in 2024, we saw significant cost increases and supply constraints caused by geopolitical disruption. We experienced instability in pricing and increased transit times, due to ocean carriers avoiding the Gulf of Aden and Red Sea regions due primarily to concerns that Houthi forces, based in Yemen, may attack freighters. Beginning in the late spring of 2024 and for most of that summer, we were challenged to secure the ocean container capacity that we needed. During 2025, we saw periodic cost surges on ocean freight costs that were unexpected, although generally through the year saw a decline in rates ending the year closer to pre-pandemic levels. The changes in shipping container prices and service levels and cost increases in shipping and port congestion related costs have materially impacted our financial results in recent years and may do so in the future. Due to the price sensitivity of our products, we may not be able to pass such increases on to our customers without impacting our volume, revenue, margins, and operating results and we have no certainty when these pressures may lessen. The Company is continuing to monitor the situation carefully to understand any future potential impact on its people and business.

Consumer Demand and Relationships with Key Customers

Coconut water accounted for 96% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 and we believe that sales of coconut water will continue to be a significant portion of our business in the foreseeable future. The coconut water

Table of Contents

category has been growing steadily in recent years and our Vita Coco brand has successfully retained over 40% market share in the U.S. and over 80% market share in the U.K. in this category. We are also a significant supplier of Private Label coconut water and coconut oil products in the U.S. and Europe. Any material negative change to consumer demand for our products or coconut water generally, failure to grow the coconut water category, or loss of significant Private Label demand, could adversely affect our business. Consumer demand between branded products and Private Label may vary over time. In order to meet this consumer demand for our products, we also are subject to the risk of overly relying upon our largest customers for both our branded and Private Label business. One of our significant customers discontinued the Private Label coconut oil supply relationship in early 2024, and we also experienced an impact in Private Label coconut water net sales in 2025 with this customer due to the loss of some regions that we previously serviced for this customer. However, this customer has requested to restart supply in early 2026 for one of those lost regions. We will continue to service their needs if we are asked and it aligns with our long-term margin targets. Any loss of business or changes in our relationships with our key customers can impact our operating results in future periods, as may changes in consumer demand for Private Label versus branded products.

Ability to Generate Growth Through Product Innovation

The beverage industry is subject to shifting consumer preferences which present opportunities for new beverage occasions, tastes and functional benefits. Our future success is therefore partially dependent on our ability to identify these trends and develop products and brands that effectively meet those needs. We also invest in sales and marketing and execute our sales strategy to develop and deepen consumers’ connection to our brand and new products and to create category growth and increase our branded share. Our innovation efforts focus on developing and marketing product extensions, improving upon the quality and taste profiles of existing products, and introducing new products or brands to meet evolving consumer needs. For example, in 2024 we introduced Vita Coco Treats, a refreshingly sweet, flavorful coconut milk-based drink for consumers looking for an indulgent treat. In 2025, we expanded distribution of Vita Coco Treats to retailers nationwide.

We maintain in-house research and development capabilities as well as strong third-party relationships with flavor development houses, and we monitor the latest advancements to support continued innovation and learning. Our ability to successfully improve existing products, or develop, market and sell new products or brands, or our ability to grow the category or gain branded share, depends on our commitment and continued investment in sales execution, marketing, innovation, and our willingness to try and fail and learn from our experiences.

Ability to Successfully Execute Both In-Store and Online

To aid the growth of our business, we intend to continue improving our operational efficiency and leverage our brand position across channels, and therefore have a balanced approach to investment and development of capabilities in retail and e-commerce execution. Our DSD network is an important asset in executing physical retail programs and ensuring product availability and visibility in the U.S. In 2025, we continued to prioritize multi-packs in coconut water in U.S. retail to increase consumption with core consumers, and increased distribution of our other product offerings. Managing our DSD network requires relationship building and communication as to plans, and alignment of goals and interests, and we are not always a top priority for our DSD network. We also continue to expand our business in e-commerce, including our DTC business, and look to adapt our approaches as consumer and retail behavior changes to ensure we remain competitive and visible regardless of channel.

Components of Our Results of Operations

Net Sales

We generate revenue through the sale of our Vita Coco branded coconut water, Private Label and Other products in the Americas and International segments. Our sales are predominantly made to distributors or to retailers for final sale to consumers through retail channels, which includes sales to traditional brick and mortar retailers, who may also resell our products through their own online platforms. Our revenue is recognized net of allowances for returns, discounts, credits and any taxes collected from consumers.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold includes the costs of the products sold to customers, inbound and outbound shipping and handling costs, freight and duties (including tariffs), shipping and packaging supplies, and warehouse fulfillment costs.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

44

Table of Contents

Gross profit is net sales less cost of goods sold, and gross margin is gross profit as a percentage of net sales. Gross profit has been, and will continue to be, affected by various factors, including the mix of products we sell, the channel through which we sell our products, the promotional environment in the marketplace, manufacturing costs, exchange rates, commodity prices and transportation rates. We expect that our gross margin will fluctuate from period to period depending on the interplay of these variables.

Management believes gross margin provides investors with useful information related to the profitability of our business prior to considering all of the operating costs incurred. Management uses gross profit and gross margin as key measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating our performance.

Operating Expenses

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") include marketing expenses, promotional expenses, and general and administrative expenses. Marketing and promotional expenses consist primarily of costs incurred promoting and marketing our products and are primarily driven by investments to grow our business and retain customers. General and administrative expenses include payroll, employee benefits, stock-based compensation, broker commissions and other headcount-related expenses associated with supply chain & operations, finance, information technology, human resources and other administrative-related personnel, as well as general overhead costs of the business, including research and development for new innovations, rent and related facilities and maintenance costs, depreciation and amortization, and legal, accounting, and professional fees. We expense all SG&A as incurred.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Unrealized Gain/(Loss) on Derivative Instruments

We are subject to foreign currency risks as a result of our inventory purchases and intercompany transactions. In order to mitigate the foreign currency risks, we and our subsidiaries enter into foreign currency exchange contracts which are recorded at fair value. Unrealized gain/(loss) on derivative instruments consists of gains or losses on such foreign currency exchange contracts which are unsettled as of period end. See “—Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Foreign Currency Exchange Risk” for further information.

Foreign Currency Gain/(Loss)

Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. We maintain the financial statements of each entity within the group in its local currency, which is also the entity’s functional currency. Foreign currency gain/(loss) represents the transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency. See “—Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Foreign Currency Exchange Risk” for further information.

Interest Income

Interest income consists of interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents, and money market funds.

Interest Expense

Interest expense consists of interest payable on our credit facilities and vehicle loans.

Income Tax Expense

We are subject to federal and state income taxes in the U.S. and taxes in foreign jurisdictions in which we operate. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using statutory rates. We regularly assess the need to record a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Operating Segments

We operate in two reporting segments:

45

Table of Contents

•Americas—The Americas segment is comprised of our operations in the Americas region, primarily in the U.S. and Canada.

•International—The International segment is comprised of our operations primarily in Europe, the Middle East, and the Asia Pacific regions, which includes our sourcing entity.

Each segment derives its revenues from 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. 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 product offerings, which includes coconut water and coconut 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 includes Vita Coco product extensions beyond coconut water, such as coconut milk products, including Vita Coco Treats; PWR LIFT; Ever & Ever; Runa (until the Company ceased selling in December 2023); 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 we recognize the transaction price for the product as revenue.

Americas Segment

Americas net sales increased $66.4 million, or 15.0%, primarily driven by CE volume growth of 11.2% with additional benefit from branded pricing. These increases were partially offset by a decline in Private Label sales in certain regions of key retailers.

Vita Coco Coconut Water net sales increased $81.0 million, or 23.6%, reflecting a combination of increased CE volume growth and benefits from net pricing actions.

Private Label net sales decreased $27.2 million, or 30.2%, driven by CE volume decline of 26.4%, due to lost regions with key retailers.

Net Sales for Other products increased $12.6 million, or 137.3%, driven by CE volume increase of 178.2% as Vita Coco Treats launched nationally.

International Segment

International net sales increased $27.3 million, or 37.1%, driven by 33.7% CE volume growth, with notable growth in the United Kingdom ("U.K.") and Germany, in addition to benefits from net pricing actions.

Vita Coco Coconut Water net sales increased $21.6 million, or 43.0%, reflecting higher CE volume, primarily in Europe, and benefits from net pricing actions.

Private Label net sales increased $6.6 million, or 34.3%, primarily due to CE volume growth in Europe, partially offset by the loss of Private Label coconut oil sales in the Asia Pacific region.

Net Sales for Other products decreased $0.9 million, or 22.7%, to $3.1 million driven primarily by the decrease in sales of Vita Coco coconut oil partially offset by the launch of Vita Coco Treats.

Unrealized Gain/(Loss) on Derivative Instruments

For the year ended December 31, 2025, we recorded an unrealized gain of $4.7 million related to mark-to-market changes on outstanding forward foreign currency exchange contracts, with the gains related to contracts hedging the Brazilian real and Thai baht, partially offset by losses on the British Pound, Euro, and Canadian dollar. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recorded an unrealized loss of $8.2 million, primarily related to outstanding forward foreign currency exchange contracts hedging the Brazilian real, partially offset by gains on the British Pound, Euro, and Canadian dollar. All forward foreign currency exchange contracts were entered into to hedge exposures to the British pound, Canadian dollar, Brazilian real, Malaysian ringgit, Euro, and Thai baht.

Foreign Currency Gain/(Loss)

Foreign currency loss was $1.0 million, compared to a $1.6 million loss for the prior year driven by movements in various foreign currency exchange rates on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency.

Interest Income

Interest income decreased by $0.2 million, to $6.5 million due to the decline in interest rates, partially offset by increased investment balances.

Other Income

Other income of $0.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2025, resulted from the sale of intellectual property.

49

Table of Contents

The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2025 exceeded the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state income taxes, and permanently nondeductible compensation costs, partially offset by tax benefits associated with windfall deductions recognized during the year. Other nondeductible expenses and discrete tax items also contributed to the higher effective tax rate.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that are used by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors and lenders. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as alternatives to net income as a measure of financial performance or cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP and should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

These non-GAAP measures are key metrics used by management and our Board, to assess our financial performance. We present these non-GAAP measures because we believe they assist investors in comparing our 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.

We define EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA with adjustments to eliminate the impact of certain items, including certain non-cash and other items, that we do not consider representative of our ongoing operating performance.

A reconciliation from net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is set forth below:

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the amount reflects the write-off of prepayments made to a supplier for inventory orders. In November 2024, we learned that the supplier failed to produce the orders placed and paused operations. Further, the supplier did not provide a refund for such orders.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through cash generated from our business operations and proceeds on borrowings through our credit facilities and term loans. We had $196.9 million and $164.7 million of cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Considering recent market conditions and our business assumptions, we have reevaluated our operating cash flows and cash requirements and believe that current cash, cash equivalents, future cash flows from operating activities and cash available under our Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs, including working capital needs, capital expenditures and contractual obligations for at least 12 months from the issuance date of the consolidated financial statements included herein and the foreseeable future.

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our revenue growth rate, our working capital needs primarily for inventory build, our global footprint, the expansion of our marketing activities, the timing and extent of spending to support product development efforts, the introduction of new and enhanced products and the continued market consumption of our products, as well as any shareholder distribution either through equity buybacks or dividends. Our asset-light operating model has historically provided us with a low cost nimble, and scalable supply chain, which allows us to adapt to changes in the market or consumer preferences while also efficiently introducing new products across our platform. We may seek additional equity or debt financing in the future in order to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, products and/or new IT infrastructures. In the event that we require additional financing, we may not be able to raise such financing on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital or generate cash flows necessary to expand our operations and invest in continued product innovation, we may not be able to compete successfully, which would harm our business, operations and financial condition.

Operating Activities

Our main source of operating cash is payments received from our customers. Our primary use of cash in operating activities are for cost of goods sold and SG&A expenses.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, cash provided by operating activities increased $4.3 million as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The higher cash generation was driven by the increase in net income after adjusting for non-cash items and a minor improvement in working capital.

Investing Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, cash used in investing activities increased $7.3 million. The increase was primarily due to leasehold improvements related to the new New York, London, and Singapore offices.

Financing Activities

51

Table of Contents

During the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash used by financing activities decreased $0.8 million, primarily driven by fewer share repurchases that occurred in 2025 compared to 2024. See Note 14, Stockholders' Equity, for further discussion on share repurchases.

Debt

We had an immaterial amount of outstanding debt as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 related to vehicle loans.

In May 2020, the Company entered into the Credit Facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association consisting of a revolving line of credit, which currently provides for committed borrowings of $60 million. On February 14, 2025, the Credit Facility was amended, extending the maturity five years to February 13, 2030.

Starting in December 2022, 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, through February 13, 2025, the Company was subject to an unused commitment fee ranging from 0.10% and 0.20% on the unused amount of the line of credit, with the rate based on the Company’s leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement). Starting February 14, 2025, the unused commitment fees ranged 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 agreement).

There were no amounts drawn on the Credit Facility as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, we were compliant with all financial covenants.

Vehicle Loans

We periodically enter into vehicle loans. Interest rate on these vehicle loans range from 4.56% to 5.68%. The outstanding balance on the vehicle loans as of December 31, 2025 was immaterial.

For additional information, see Note 10, Debt, to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement

We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, including entities sometimes referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, that were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

We have contractual obligations to repay indebtedness and required interest payments and unused commitment fees under our Credit Facility and vehicle loans. As of December 31, 2025, we had no outstanding balance on the Credit Facility. Any future outstanding balances on the Credit Facility will be required to be repaid by February 2030.

We lease certain assets under noncancelable operating leases, which expire through 2034 relating to our office spaces. Future minimum commitments under these leases are 18.6 million as of December 31, 2025.

As of December 31, 2025, we also have inventory purchase commitments, which include any raw material or packaging commitments with our suppliers to secure our needs for future orders, which are generally due to be paid within one year. We also have production purchase commitments from our manufacturers based on our production plans, forecasts and contracts, that might result in costs if we were to reduce our purchases significantly in 2026 or for some relationships, in future years. We have other contractual payments related to information technology service agreements, sponsorship and marketing agreements, and minimum contractual third-party warehouse commitments, which are not individually material.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, costs and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements appearing within this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we believe that the following accounting policies are those most critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"). ASC 606 defines a five-step model that requires entities exercise judgment when considering the terms of contract(s), which include (1) identifying the contract or agreement with a customer, (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised good is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company is expected to be entitled to receive in exchange for those products. Each contract includes a single performance obligation to transfer control of the product to the customer. Our revenue is recognized net of allowances for returns, discounts, credits and any taxes collected from consumers.

For our various products in the Vita Coco Coconut Water and Other product categories, control is transferred upon customer receipt, at which point the Company recognizes the transaction price for the product as revenue. The transaction price recognized reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for the sale of the product. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at that time. The Company does not have any significant contracts with customers requiring performance beyond delivery, and contracts with customers contain no incentives or discounts that would meet the criteria for a distinct good or service that could cause revenue to be allocated or adjusted over time. Shipping and handling activities are performed before the customer obtains control of the goods and therefore represent fulfillment costs, which are included in cost of goods sold, rather than revenue.

Additionally, 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 is completed, which may be prior to any shipment. The resulting contract assets are recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets.

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 consolidated financial statements include accruals for these promotions and discounts. The accruals are made for invoices that have not yet been received as of year-end 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.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes ("ASC 740"), which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the consolidated financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. Such deferred income tax assets and liabilities computations are based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount

expected to be realized. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions are included in income tax expense in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income and accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.

We must make assumptions and judgments to estimate the amount of valuation allowances to be recorded against our deferred tax assets, which take into account current tax laws and estimates of the amount of future taxable income, if any. Changes to any of the assumptions or judgments could cause our actual income tax obligations to differ from our estimates.

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation ("ASC 718") for stock options issued under the 2014 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan and the 2021 Stock Incentive Award Plan.

We measure all awards based on their fair value on the date of the grant and recognize compensation expense for those awards over the requisite service period of each stock award grant, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award by using the accelerated attribution method. We apply an estimated forfeiture rate derived from historical employee termination behavior. If the actual forfeitures differ from those estimated by management, adjustment to compensation expense may be required in future periods. Stock awards are equity-classified, as they do not contain a cash settlement option or other features requiring them to be liability-classified.

We issue stock-based awards with service-based and performance-based and market-based vesting conditions. The accounting for performance‑based stock awards requires us to make significant judgments regarding the probability of achieving performance targets and the expected number of shares that will ultimately vest. Certain performance share unit awards allow for the issuance of shares in excess of the target award amount when performance results exceed specified thresholds. We evaluate performance expectations each reporting period and update our estimates based on current forecasts and available information. Changes in these estimates may result in adjustments to stock‑based compensation expense in future periods, which could be material to our results of operations.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the purchase price paid in excess of the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business combination and is measured in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (ASC 350"). Goodwill is not amortized; instead goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis on December 31, or more frequently if the Company believes indicators of impairment exist.

We have determined that there are three reporting units for purposes of testing goodwill for impairment. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. In performing the qualitative assessment, the Company reviews factors both specific to the reporting units and to the Company as a whole, such as financial performance, macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, and the fair value of each reporting unit at the last valuation date. If the Company elects this option and believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of each of the reporting units exceeds their fair value, the quantitative impairment test is required; otherwise, no further testing is required.

Alternatively, we may elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and perform the quantitative impairment test instead, or if we reasonably determine that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value is less than the carrying value, we perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of each of the reporting units with their carrying amount. The fair value of each of the reporting units is estimated by blending the results from the income approach and the market multiples approach. These valuation approaches consider a number of factors that include, but are not limited to, expected future cash flows, growth rates, discount rates, and comparable multiples from publicly-traded companies in our industry, and require us to make certain assumptions and estimates regarding industry economic factors and future profitability of our business. It is our policy to conduct impairment testing based on our most current business plans, projected future revenues and cash flows, which reflect changes we anticipate in the economy and the industry. The cash flows are based on five-year financial forecasts developed internally by management and are discounted to a present value using discount rates that properly account for the risk and nature of the respective reporting unit’s cash flows and the rates of return market participants would require to invest their capital in our reporting unit. We will recognize an

impairment for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds a reporting unit’s fair value. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no impairments recorded.
