BASIS OF PRESENTATION | 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION Reference is made to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, in Monster Beverage Corporation and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for a summary of significant accounting policies utilized by the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries and other disclosures, which should be read in conjunction with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”). The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations applicable to interim financial reporting. They do not include all the information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. The information set forth in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, is unaudited and reflects all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments and which in the opinion of management are necessary to make the interim condensed consolidated financial statements not misleading. Results of operations for periods covered by this report may not necessarily be indicative of results of operations for the full year. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP necessarily 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. |

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | 2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”, as part of its simplification initiative to reduce the cost and complexity in accounting for income taxes. ASU No. 2019-12 removes certain exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. ASU No. 2019-12 also amends other aspects of the guidance to help simplify and promote consistent application of GAAP. The guidance was effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2019-12 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and liquidity. |

REVENUE RECOGNITION | |
REVENUE RECOGNITION | 3. REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company has three operating The Company’s Monster Energy® Drinks segment generates net operating revenues by selling ready-to-drink packaged energy drinks primarily to bottlers and full service beverage bottlers/distributors (“bottlers/distributors”). In some cases, the Company sells directly to retail grocery and specialty chains, wholesalers, club stores, mass merchandisers, convenience chains, drug stores, foodservice customers, value stores, e-commerce retailers and the military. The Company’s Strategic Brands segment primarily generates net operating revenues by selling “concentrates” and/or “beverage bases” to authorized bottling and canning operations. Such bottlers generally combine the concentrates and/or beverage bases with sweeteners, water and other ingredients to produce ready-to-drink packaged energy drinks. The ready-to-drink packaged energy drinks are then sold by such bottlers to other bottlers/distributors and to retail grocery and specialty chains, wholesalers, club stores, mass merchandisers, convenience chains, foodservice customers, drug stores, value stores, e-commerce retailers and the military. To a lesser extent, the Strategic Brands segment generates net operating revenues by selling certain ready-to-drink packaged energy drinks to bottlers/distributors. The majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized when it satisfies a single performance obligation by transferring control of its products to a customer. Control is generally transferred when the Company’s products are either shipped or delivered based on the terms contained within the underlying contracts or agreements. Certain of the Company’s bottlers/distributors may also perform a separate function as a co-packer on the Company’s behalf. In such cases, control of the Company’s products passes to such bottlers/distributors when they notify the Company that they have taken possession or transferred the relevant portion of the Company’s finished goods. The Company’s general payment terms are short-term in duration. The Company does not have significant financing components or payment terms. The Company did not have any material unsatisfied performance obligations as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. 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. Distribution expenses to transport the Company’s products, where applicable, and warehousing expense after manufacture are accounted for within operating expenses. Promotional and other allowances (variable consideration) recorded as a reduction to net sales, primarily include consideration given to the Company’s bottlers/distributors or retail customers including, but not limited to the following: ● discounts granted off list prices to support price promotions to end-consumers by retailers; ● reimbursements given to the Company’s bottlers/distributors for agreed portions of their promotional spend with retailers, including slotting, shelf space allowances and other fees for both new and existing products; ● the Company’s agreed share of fees given to bottlers/distributors and/or directly to retailers for advertising, in-store marketing and promotional activities; ● the Company’s agreed share of slotting, shelf space allowances and other fees given directly to retailers, club stores and/or wholesalers; ● incentives given to the Company’s bottlers/distributors and/or retailers for achieving or exceeding certain predetermined sales goals; ● discounted or free products; ● contractual fees given to the Company’s bottlers/distributors related to sales made directly by the Company to certain customers that fall within the bottlers’/distributors’ sales territories; and ● commissions to TCCC based on the Company’s sales to certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of TCCC (the “TCCC Subsidiaries”) and/or to certain companies accounted for under the equity method by TCCC (the “TCCC Related Parties”). The Company’s promotional allowance programs with its bottlers/distributors and/or retailers are executed through separate agreements in the ordinary course of business. These agreements generally provide for one or more of the arrangements described above and are of varying durations, typically ranging from one week to one year. The Company’s promotional and other allowances are calculated based on various programs with bottlers/distributors and retail customers, and accruals are established at the time of initial product sale for the Company’s anticipated liabilities. These accruals are based on agreed upon terms as well as the Company’s historical experience with similar programs and require management’s judgment with respect to estimating consumer participation and/or bottler/distributor and retail customer performance levels. Differences between such estimated expenses and actual expenses for promotional and other allowance costs have historically been insignificant and are recognized in earnings in the period such differences are determined. Amounts received pursuant to new and/or amended distribution agreements entered into with certain bottlers/distributors relating to the costs associated with terminating the Company’s prior distributors, are accounted for as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue ratably over the anticipated life of the respective distribution agreements, generally over 20 years. The Company also enters into license agreements that generate revenues associated with third-party sales of non-beverage products bearing the Company’s trademarks including, but not limited to, clothing, hats, t-shirts, jackets, helmets and automotive wheels. Management believes that adequate provision has been made for cash discounts, returns and spoilage based on the Company’s historical experience.

LEASES

LEASES | |
LEASES | 4. LEASES The Company leases identified assets comprising real estate and equipment. Real estate leases consist primarily of office and warehouse space and equipment leases consist of vehicles and warehouse equipment. At the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment is based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether the Company obtains the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the term, and (3) whether the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. At inception of a lease, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease and non-lease component based on the component’s relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments. Lease and non-lease components are accounted for separately. Leases are classified as either finance leases or operating leases based on criteria in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842. The Company’s operating leases are comprised of real estate and warehouse equipment, and the Company’s finance leases are comprised of vehicles. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company’s leases generally do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at the commencement date. ROU assets also include any lease payments made and exclude lease incentives. Lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Certain of the Company’s real estate leases contain variable lease payments, including payments based on an index or rate. Variable lease payments based on an index or rate are initially measured using the index or rate in effect at the lease commencement date. Additional payments based on the change in an index or rate, or payments based on a change in the Company’s portion of real estate taxes and insurance, are recorded as a period expense when incurred. Lease expense for operating leases, consisting of lease payments, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of income.

FAIR VALUE OF CERTAIN FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES | |
FAIR VALUE OF CERTAIN FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES | 6. FAIR VALUE OF CERTAIN FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures regarding fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received on the sale of 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 that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. The three levels of inputs required by the standard that the Company uses to measure fair value are summarized below. ● Level 1: Quoted 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 prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities. ● 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. ASC 820 requires the use of observable market inputs (quoted market prices) when measuring fair value and requires a Level 1 quoted price to be used to measure fair value whenever possible. The following tables present the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, segregated among the appropriate levels within the fair value hierarchy at: March 31, 2021 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Cash $ 809,464 $ — $ — $ 809,464 Money market funds 351,514 — — 351,514 Certificates of deposit — 40,520 — 40,520 Commercial paper — 166,306 — 166,306 U.S. government agency securities — 95,794 — 95,794 U.S. treasuries — 759,138 — 759,138 Foreign currency derivatives — (292) — (292) Total $ 1,160,978 $ 1,061,466 $ — $ 2,222,444 Amounts included in: Cash and cash equivalents $ 1,160,978 $ 17,901 $ — $ 1,178,879 Short-term investments — 980,108 — 980,108 Accounts receivable, net — 173 — 173 Investments — 63,751 — 63,751 Accrued liabilities — (467) — (467) Total $ 1,160,978 $ 1,061,466 $ — $ 2,222,444 December 31, 2020 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Cash $ 796,421 $ — $ — $ 796,421 Money market funds 352,730 — — 352,730 Certificates of deposit — 23,137 — 23,137 Commercial paper — 130,883 — 130,883 Municipal securities — 9,083 — 9,083 U.S. government agency securities — 91,882 — 91,882 U.S. treasuries — 701,922 — 701,922 Foreign currency derivatives — (2,578) — (2,578) Total $ 1,149,151 $ 954,329 $ — $ 2,103,480 Amounts included in: Cash and cash equivalents $ 1,149,151 $ 31,262 $ — $ 1,180,413 Short-term investments — 881,354 — 881,354 Accounts receivable, net — 69 — 69 Investments — 44,291 — 44,291 Accrued liabilities — (2,647) — (2,647) Total $ 1,149,151 $ 954,329 $ — $ 2,103,480 All of the Company’s short-term and long-term investments are classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s valuation of its Level 1 investments is based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical securities. The Company’s valuation of its Level 2 investments is based on other observable inputs, specifically a market approach which utilizes valuation models, pricing systems, mathematical tools and other relevant information for the same or similar securities. The Company’s valuation of its Level 2 foreign currency exchange contracts is based on quoted market prices of the same or similar instruments, adjusted for counterparty risk. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 measurements during the three-months ended March 31, 2021, or during the year-ended December 31, 2020, and there were no changes in the Company’s valuation techniques. |

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES | |
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES | 7. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risks related primarily to its foreign business operations. During the three-months ended March 31, 2021 and the year-ended December 31, 2020, the Company entered into forward currency exchange contracts with financial institutions to create an economic hedge to specifically manage a portion of the foreign exchange risk exposure associated with certain consolidated subsidiaries’ non-functional currency denominated assets and liabilities. All foreign currency exchange contracts of the Company that were outstanding as of March 31, 2021 have terms of one month or less. The Company does not enter into forward currency exchange contracts for speculation or trading purposes. The Company has not designated its foreign currency exchange contracts as hedge transactions under ASC 815. Therefore, gains and losses on the Company’s foreign currency exchange contracts are recognized in interest and other (expense) income, net, in the condensed consolidated statements of income, and are largely offset by the changes in the fair value of the underlying economically hedged item. The notional amount and fair value of all outstanding foreign currency derivative instruments in the condensed consolidated balance sheets consist of the following at: March 31, 2021 Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments under Notional Fair ASC 815-20 Amount Value Balance Sheet Location Assets: Foreign currency exchange contracts: Receive USD/pay EUR $ 23,478 $ 132 Accounts receivable, net Receive USD/pay AUD 8,153 24 Accounts receivable, net Receive USD/pay DKK 1,655 15 Accounts receivable, net Receive USD/pay SEK 1,747 2 Accounts receivable, net Liabilities: Foreign currency exchange contracts: Receive USD/pay GBP $ 52,556 $ (166) Accrued liabilities Receive USD/pay COP 6,921 (115) Accrued liabilities Receive RSD/pay USD 10,747 (94) Accrued liabilities Receive USD/pay RUB 8,946 (51) Accrued liabilities Receive USD/pay CNY 12,183 (30) Accrued liabilities Receive USD/pay ZAR 360 (4) Accrued liabilities Receive USD/pay NOK 1,482 (3) Accrued liabilities Receive USD/pay NZD 4,128 (1) Accrued liabilities Receive SGD/pay USD 19,248 (1) Accrued liabilities December 31, 2020 Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments under Notional Fair FASB ASC 815-20 Amount Value Balance Sheet Location Assets: Foreign currency exchange contracts: Receive SGD/pay USD $ 18,713 $ 41 Accounts receivable, net Receive RSD/pay USD 10,127 28 Accounts receivable, net Liabilities: Foreign currency exchange contracts: Receive EUR/pay USD $ 1,298,899 $ (1,768) Accrued liabilities Receive USD/pay GBP 35,256 (416) Accrued liabilities Receive USD/pay AUD 8,508 (130) Accrued liabilities Receive USD/pay ZAR 2,403 (106) Accrued liabilities Receive USD/pay COP 5,436 (93) Accrued liabilities Receive USD/pay CNY 12,344 (50) Accrued liabilities Receive USD/pay RUB 7,780 (40) Accrued liabilities Receive NOK/pay USD 4,411 (18) Accrued liabilities Receive USD/pay NZD 2,290 (13) Accrued liabilities Receive SEK/pay USD 2,275 (10) Accrued liabilities Receive USD/pay DKK 3,151 (3) Accrued liabilities The net (losses) gains on derivative instruments in the condensed consolidated statements of income were as follows: Amount of (loss) gain recognized in income on derivatives Derivatives not designated as Location of (loss) gain Three-months ended hedging instruments under recognized in income on March 31, March 31, ASC 815-20 derivatives 2021 2020 Foreign currency exchange contracts Interest and other (expense) income, net $ (3,870) $ 6,292 |

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | 12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company had purchase commitments aggregating approximately $83.1 million at March 31, 2021, which represented commitments made by the Company and its subsidiaries to various suppliers of raw materials for the production of its products. These obligations vary in terms, but are generally satisfied within one year. The Company had contractual obligations aggregating approximately $215.8 million at March 31, 2021, which related primarily to sponsorships and other marketing activities. In February 2018, the working capital line limit for the Company’s credit facility with HSBC Bank (China) Company Limited, Shanghai Branch, was increased from $9.0 million to $15.0 million. At March 31, 2021, the interest rate on borrowings under the line of credit was 5.5%. As of March 31, 2021, $1.7 million was outstanding on this line of credit. Litigation Falat v. Sacks The derivative complaint alleges, among other things, that the Individual Defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company by allowing others to cause, or themselves causing, the Company to hide discrimination and failing to ensure sufficient diversity, including by permitting conduct to occur that was inconsistent with statements made in the Company’s policies and disclosures, and failing to ensure the Company’s compliance with laws regarding diversity and anti-discrimination. The complaint also asserts claims for abuse of control, unjust enrichment and violation of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The complaint seeks from the Individual Defendants an unspecified amount of damages, restitution, punitive damages and costs to be paid to the Company, and seeks to require the Company to adopt corporate governance reforms, and other equitable relief. On January 15, 2021, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the action because the plaintiff failed to make a demand on the Company as required by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23.1 or to show that demand would have been futile. The Individual Defendants also filed a motion to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim against the Individual Defendants, among other reasons. On February 8, 2021, the court granted both motions to dismiss for failure adequately to allege demand futility. The court granted the plaintiff leave to amend; the court did not set a deadline by which an amended complaint must be filed. While the Company continues to evaluate these claims, management believes that such litigation will likely not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. The Company evaluates, on a quarterly basis, developments in legal proceedings and other matters that could cause an increase or decrease in the amount of the liability that is accrued, if any, and any related insurance reimbursements. As of March 31, 2021, the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet included accrued loss contingencies of approximately $18.9 million. |

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION | 15. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company has two stock-based compensation plans under which shares were available for grant at March 31, 2021: (i) the Monster Beverage Corporation 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan, including the Monster Beverage Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan as a sub-plan thereunder, and (ii) the Monster Beverage Corporation 2017 Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors, including the Monster Beverage Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors as a sub-plan thereunder. The Company recorded $18.4 million and $17.1 million of compensation expense relating to outstanding options, restricted stock units, performance share units and other share-based awards during the three-months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The tax benefit for tax deductions from non-qualified stock option exercises, disqualifying dispositions of incentive stock options and vesting of restricted stock units and performance share units for the three-months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $1.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Stock Options Under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans, all stock options granted as of March 31, 2021 were granted at prices based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The Company records compensation expense for stock options based on the estimated fair value of the options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula with the assumptions included in the table below. The Company uses historical data to determine the exercise behavior, volatility and forfeiture rate of the options. The following weighted-average assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of options granted during: Three-Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Dividend yield 0.0 % 0.0 % Expected volatility 28.9 % 30.5 % Risk-free interest rate 0.8 % 0.7 % Expected term 5.8 years 5.8 years Expected Volatility Risk-Free Interest Rate Expected Term The following table summarizes the Company’s activities with respect to its stock option plans as follows: Weighted- Weighted- Average Average Remaining Number of Exercise Contractual Aggregate Shares (in Price Per Term (in Intrinsic Options thousands) Share years) Value Outstanding at January 1, 2021 13,973 $ 44.93 5.7 $ 664,432 Granted 01/01/21 - 03/31/21 1,015 $ 88.95 Exercised (157) $ 43.04 Cancelled or forfeited (5) $ 60.28 Outstanding at March 31, 2021 14,826 $ 47.96 5.8 $ 639,489 Vested and expected to vest in the future at March 31, 2021 14,463 $ 47.44 5.7 $ 631,268 Exercisable at March 31, 2021 9,883 $ 40.24 4.7 $ 502,521 The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the three-months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $25.78 per share and $18.78 per share, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three-months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $7.2 million and $10.9 million, respectively. Cash received from option exercises under all plans for the three-months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $6.8 million and $14.0 million, respectively. At March 31, 2021, there was $76.2 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested options granted to employees under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.6 years. Restricted Stock Units and Performance Share Units The cost of stock-based compensation for restricted stock units and performance share units is measured based on the closing fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. In the event that the Company has the option and intent to settle a restricted stock unit or performance share unit in cash, the award is classified as a liability and revalued at each balance sheet date. The following table summarizes the Company’s activities with respect to non-vested restricted stock units and performance share units as follows: Weighted Number of Average Shares (in Grant-Date thousands) Fair Value Non-vested at January 1, 2021 947 $ 60.52 Granted 01/01/21 - 03/31/21 1 304 $ 86.28 Vested (335) $ 62.43 Forfeited/cancelled (1) $ 62.39 Non-vested at March 31, 2021 915 $ 68.37 1 The grant activity for performance share units is recorded based on the target performance level earning 100% of target performance share units. The actual number of performance share units earned could range from 0% to 200% of target depending on the achievement of pre-established performance goals. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of restricted stock units and/or performance share units granted during the three-months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $88.96 and $62.39 per share, respectively. As of March 31, 2021, 0.8 million of restricted stock units and performance share units are expected to vest over their respective terms. At March 31, 2021, total unrecognized compensation expense relating to non-vested restricted stock units and performance share units was $50.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.5 years. Other Share-Based Awards The Company has granted other share-based awards to certain employees that are payable in cash. These awards are classified as liabilities and are valued based on the fair value of the award at the grant date and are remeasured at each reporting date until settlement, with compensation expense being recognized in proportion to the completed requisite service period up until date of settlement. At March 31, 2021, other share-based awards outstanding included grants that vest over three years payable in the first quarters of 2022, 2023 and 2024. At March 31, 2021, there was $1.8 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested other share-based awards granted to employees under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years. |

SEGMENT INFORMATION | |
SEGMENT INFORMATION | 18. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company has three operating The Company’s Monster Energy® Drinks segment primarily generates net operating revenues by selling ready-to-drink packaged drinks primarily to bottlers/distributors. In some cases, the Company sells directly to retail grocery and specialty chains, wholesalers, club stores, mass merchandisers, convenience chains, drug stores, foodservice customers, value stores, e-commerce retailers and the military. The Company’s Strategic Brands segment primarily generates net operating revenues by selling “concentrates” and/or “beverage bases” to authorized bottling and canning operations. Such bottlers generally combine the concentrates and/or beverage bases with sweeteners, water and other ingredients to produce ready-to-drink packaged energy drinks. The ready-to-drink packaged energy drinks are then sold by such bottlers to other bottlers/distributors and to retail grocery and specialty chains, wholesalers, club stores, mass merchandisers, convenience chains, foodservice customers, drug stores, value stores, e-commerce retailers and the military. To a lesser extent, the Strategic Brands segment generates net operating revenues by selling certain ready-to-drink packaged energy drinks to bottlers/distributors. Generally, the Monster Energy® Drinks segment generates higher per case net operating revenues, but lower per case gross profit margin percentages than the Strategic Brands segment. Corporate and unallocated amounts that do not relate to a reportable segment have been allocated to “Corporate & Unallocated.” No asset information, other than goodwill and other intangible assets, has been provided in the Company’s reportable segments, as management does not measure or allocate such assets on a segment basis.
