Other recent developments in the markets of note include:
Celsius Holdings, Inc., (NASDAQ: CELH), maker of the leading global fitness drink, CELSIUS®, recently reported preliminary financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023. Celsius achieved record first quarter revenue of $260 million, up 95% from $133 million in the prior year first quarter, driven predominantly by North American revenue which increased 101% to $249 million, up from $124 million in the prior year first quarter. North American revenue was driven by increases in distribution points and SKUs per location as well as some benefit from increased days inventory outstanding at the mixing centers of its largest distributor. International revenue increased approximately 15% to $11.4 million in the first quarter of 2023, from $9.9 million in the prior year quarter, driven in large part by the addition of a number of flavor innovations.
Gross profit for the first quarter of 2023 was $114 million, up 111% from $54 million in the prior year first quarter. Gross Profit as a percentage of revenue was 43.8% for the three months ending March 31, 2023, up from 40.4% in the prior year first quarter. Overall, gross profit margin improvements were driven by the reduced mix of international cans and cost savings initiatives, offset in part by some additional inventory write-offs and freight expense as Celsius continues to integrate into the PepsiCo distribution system and build a best in class supply chain across the United States.
