ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Organization Nature of Operations The Company also develops, markets, sells and distributes still and sparkling waters under the Monster Tour Water® brand name. The Company also develops, markets, sells and distributes craft beers, flavored malt beverages (“FMBs”) and hard seltzers under a number of brands, including Jai Alai® IPA, Florida Man TM IPA, Dale’s Pale Ale®, Wild Basin® Hard Seltzers, Dallas Blonde®, Deep Ellum TM IPA, Perrin Brewing Company TM Black Ale, Hop Rising® Double IPA, Wasatch® Apricot Hefeweizen, The Beast Unleashed®, Nasty Beast TM Hard Tea and a host of other brands. Basis of Presentation Treasury Stock Retirement Stock Split Principles of Consolidation Business Combinations assessments are recorded to goodwill over the measurement period (not longer than twelve months). The acquisition method also requires that acquisition-related transaction and post-acquisition restructuring costs be charged to expense and requires the Company to recognize and measure certain assets and liabilities including those arising from contingencies and contingent consideration in a business combination. Cash and Cash Equivalents Investments Accounts Receivable – Inventories Property and Equipment three Goodwill Other Intangibles ® TM The Company presently has more than 21,300 registered trademarks and pending applications in various countries worldwide, and the Company applies for new trademarks on an ongoing basis. The Company regards its trademarks, service marks, copyrights, domain names, trade dress and other intellectual property as very important to its business. The Company considers Monster®, Monster Energy®, Pale Ale®, Dallas Blonde®, Wild Basin®, Dale’s®, Hop Rising®, The Beast Unleashed® and Nasty Beast TM Leases – Leases are classified as either finance leases or operating leases based on criteria in FASB ASC 842, “Leases”. 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. The Company has elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term operating leases that have a term of 12 months or less. 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 consolidated statements of income. Lease expense for finance leases consists of the amortization of the ROU asset on a straight-line basis over the asset’s estimated useful life and is included in operating expenses in the consolidated statement of income. Interest expense on finance leases is calculated using the amortized cost basis and is included in interest and other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of income. Long-Lived Assets Derivative Financial Instruments Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions The Company has not designated its foreign currency exchange contracts as hedge transactions under FASB ASC 815. Therefore, gains and losses on the Company’s foreign currency exchange contracts are recognized in interest and other income (expense), net, in the consolidated statements of income, and are largely offset by the changes in the fair value of the underlying economically hedged item. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, aggregate foreign currency transaction gains (losses), including the gains or losses on forward currency exchange contracts, amounted to ($60.2) million, ($37.9) million and $0.3 million, respectively, and have been recorded in interest and other income(expense), net, in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. Revenue Recognition Cost of Sales – Operating Expenses store demonstration costs, costs for merchandise displays, point-of-sale materials and premium items, sponsorship expenses, other marketing expenses and design expenses. Operating expenses also include such costs as payroll costs, travel costs, professional service fees including legal fees, termination payments made to certain of the Company’s prior distributors, impairment charges on intangible assets, depreciation and other general and administrative costs. Freight-Out Costs Advertising and Promotional Expenses Income Taxes The Company assesses its income tax positions and records tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon the Company’s evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. For those tax positions where there is a greater than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, the Company has recorded the largest amount of tax benefit that may potentially be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions where there is less than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit has been recognized in the financial statements. Stock-Based Compensation Net Income Per Common Share Concentration of Risk – The Coca-Cola Company (“TCCC”), through certain wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “TCCC Subsidiaries”), accounted for approximately 2% of the Company’s net sales for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021. Coca-Cola Consolidated, Inc. accounted for approximately 10%, 11% and 12% of the Company’s net sales for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling, LLC accounted for approximately 9%, 9% and 10% of the Company’s net sales for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Coca-Cola Europacific Partners accounted for approximately 13%, 13% and 12% of the Company's net sales for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Credit Risk Fair Value of Financial Instruments Use of Estimates Recent Accounting Pronouncements – In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, .

The following table summarizes the final fair value allocations of the Bang Transaction: Identifiable Assets Acquired and (Liabilities) Consideration Assumed Transferred Intangibles - trademarks (non-amortizing) $ 209,000 $ — Intangibles - customer relationships (amortizing) 23,000 — Property and equipment, net 143,200 — Inventory 30,496 — Right-of-use assets 12,523 — Operating lease liabilities (12,523) — Working capital (excluding inventory) 2,871 — Other 200 — Cash — 363,385 Bang Transaction Gain — 45,382 Total $ 408,767 $ 408,767 The Company determined the fair values as follows: ● Trademarks – relief-from-royalty method of the income approach ● Customer relationships – multi-period excess earnings method of the income approach ● Property and equipment – cost approach and market approach ● Inventory – comparative sales method and replacement cost method ● Bang Transaction Gain – residual of net assets acquired less cash consideration transferred The book value of the working capital (excluding inventory) approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the accounts. For tax purposes, the Bang Transaction was recorded as an asset purchase. In accordance with Regulation S-X, pro forma unaudited condensed financial information for the Bang Transaction has not been provided as the impact of the transaction on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and liquidity was not material. CANarchy Craft Brewery Collective LLC On February 17, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of CANarchy Craft Brewery Collective LLC (“CANarchy”), a craft beer and hard seltzer company, for $329.5 million in cash (net of cash acquired), after certain working capital adjustments (the “CANarchy Transaction”). The Company accounted for the CANarchy Transaction in accordance with FASB ASC 805. Effective January 31, 2024, CANarchy began operating under the name Monster Brewing Company. In accordance with Regulation S-X, pro forma unaudited condensed financial information for the CANarchy Transaction has not been provided as the impact of the transaction on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and liquidity was not material. |

REVENUE RECOGNITION | |
REVENUE RECOGNITION | 3. REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenues are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The Company has four operating and reportable segments: (i) Monster Energy® Drinks segment (“Monster Energy® Drinks”), which is primarily comprised of the Company’s Monster Energy® drinks, Reign Total Body Fuel® high performance energy drinks, Reign Storm® total wellness energy drinks, Bang Energy® drinks and Monster Tour Water®, (ii) Strategic Brands segment (“Strategic Brands”), which is primarily comprised of the various energy drink brands acquired from The Coca-Cola Company (“TCCC”) in 2015 as well as the Company’s affordable energy brands, Predator® and Fury®, (iii) Alcohol Brands segment (“Alcohol Brands”), which is comprised of various craft beers, hard seltzers and FMBs and (iv) Other segment (“Other”), which is comprised of certain products sold by American Fruits and Flavors, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, to independent third-party customers (the “AFF Third-Party Products”). The Company’s Monster Energy® Drinks segment primarily generates net operating revenues by selling ready-to-drink packaged energy drinks primarily to bottlers/distributors. In some cases, the Company sells ready-to-drink packaged energy drinks 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 Company’s Alcohol Brands segment primarily generates operating revenues by selling kegged and ready-to-drink canned beers, hard seltzers and FMBs primarily to beer distributors in the United States. 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 December 31, 2023 and 2022. 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 for the Company’s energy drink products, primarily include consideration given to the Company’s non-alcohol 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 wholly-owned subsidiaries of TCCC (the “TCCC Subsidiaries”) and/or to TCCC bottlers/distributors accounted for under the equity method by TCCC (the “TCCC Related Parties”). The Company’s promotional allowance programs with its non-alcohol 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 for its energy drink products 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. Promotional and other allowances for our Alcohol Brands segment primarily include price promotions where permitted. 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.

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, “Fair Value Measurement”, 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 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: December 31, 2023 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Cash $ 1,105,701 $ — $ — $ 1,105,701 Money market funds 960,873 — — 960,873 Certificates of deposit — 33,824 — 33,824 Commercial paper — 163,774 — 163,774 Corporate bonds — 264,208 — 264,208 Municipal securities — 361 — 361 U.S. government agency securities — 159,585 — 159,585 U.S. treasuries — 641,385 — 641,385 Foreign currency derivatives — (1,083) — (1,083) Commodity derivatives — 4,410 — 4,410 Total $ 2,066,574 $ 1,266,464 $ — $ 3,333,038 Amounts included in: Cash and cash equivalents $ 2,066,574 $ 231,101 $ — $ 2,297,675 Short-term investments — 955,605 — 955,605 Accounts receivable, net — 4,618 — 4,618 Other assets — 316 — 316 Investments — 76,431 — 76,431 Accrued liabilities — (1,607) — (1,607) Total $ 2,066,574 $ 1,266,464 $ — $ 3,333,038 December 31, 2022 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Cash $ 1,132,509 $ — $ — $ 1,132,509 Money market funds 121,444 — — 121,444 Certificates of deposit — 10,078 — 10,078 Commercial paper — 225,067 — 225,067 Variable rate demand notes — 6,266 — 6,266 Municipal securities — 213,798 — 213,798 U.S. government agency securities — 113,357 — 113,357 U.S. treasuries — 908,379 — 908,379 Foreign currency derivatives — (3,733) — (3,733) Total $ 1,253,953 $ 1,473,212 $ — $ 2,727,165 Amounts included in: Cash and cash equivalents $ 1,253,953 $ 53,188 $ — $ 1,307,141 Short-term investments — 1,362,314 — 1,362,314 Accounts receivable, net — 965 — 965 Investments — 61,443 — 61,443 Accrued liabilities — (4,698) — (4,698) Total $ 1,253,953 $ 1,473,212 $ — $ 2,727,165 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 years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and there were no changes in the Company’s valuation techniques. |

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES | 7 . DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES The Company accounts for its derivative instruments and hedging activities under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” The following table presents the fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments: Fair value Derivatives designated as December 31, December 31, hedging instruments 2023 2022 Balance Sheet location Assets: Commodity contracts $ 4,480 $ — Accounts receivable, net Commodity contracts $ 316 $ — Other assets Liabilities: Commodity contracts $ (386) $ — Accrued liabilities Fair value Derivatives not designated as December 31, December 31, hedging instruments 2023 2022 Balance Sheet location Assets: Foreign currency exchange contracts $ 138 $ 965 Accounts receivable, net Liabilities: Foreign currency exchange contracts $ (1,221) $ (4,698) Accrued liabilities Cash Flow Hedging Strategy The Company uses cash flow hedges to minimize the variability in cash flows of forecasted transactions caused by fluctuations in commodity prices. The changes in the fair values of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) and are reclassified into the line item in our consolidated statement of income in which the hedged items are recorded in the same period that the hedged items affect earnings. The changes in the fair values of hedges that are determined to be ineffective are immediately reclassified from AOCI into earnings. The maximum length of time for which the Company hedges its exposure to the variability in future cash flows is currently less than two years. The Company has entered into commodity hedge contracts to mitigate the price risk associated with a portion of its forecasted aluminum purchases. These derivative instruments were designated as part of the Company’s commodity cash flow hedging program. The objective of this hedging program is to reduce the variability of cash flows associated with future purchases of aluminum. The total notional values of derivatives that were designated and qualified for this program were $98.3 million as of December 31, 2023. Transactions under the commodity cash flow hedging program were executed beginning in May 2023. The following table presents the impact that changes in the fair values of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges had on other comprehensive income (“OCI”), AOCI and earnings: Year ended December 31, 2023 Derivatives designated as Gain (loss) Location of gain (loss) Gain (loss) reclassified hedging instruments recognized in AOCI recognized in income from AOCI into income Commodity contracts $ 4,410 Cost of sales $ (317) As of December 31, 2023, the Company estimates that it will reclassify into earnings net gains (losses) of $4.1 million from the amount recorded in AOCI as the anticipated cash flows occur during the next 12 months. Economic (Non-Designated) Hedging Strategy The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risks related primarily to its foreign business operations. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, 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 December 31, 2023 have terms of approximately 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. Therefore, gains and losses on the Company’s foreign currency exchange contracts are recognized in interest and other income (expense), net, in the consolidated statements of income, and are largely offset by the changes in the fair value of the underlying economically hedged item. The total notional values of derivatives related to our foreign currency economic hedges were $282.7 million and $299.8 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The net gains (losses) on derivatives not designated as hedging instruments in the consolidated statements of income were as follows: Gain (loss) recognized in income on derivatives Year ended Derivatives not designated as Location of gain (loss) December 31, December 31, December 31, hedging instruments recognized in income on derivatives 2023 2022 2021 Foreign currency exchange contracts Interest and other income (expense), net $ (12,364) $ (6,893) $ (5,445) Certain of the Company’s counterparty agreements contain provisions that require the Company to post collateral on derivative instruments in a net liability position. As of December 31, 2023, $3.8 million was held as collateral. |

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION | |
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION | 16. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company has two stock-based compensation plans under which shares were available for grant as of December 31, 2023: (i) the Monster Beverage Corporation 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan”), which includes 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 (the “2017 Directors Plan”), which includes the Monster Beverage Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors as a sub plan thereunder. The 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan was approved by the Board of Directors on April 14, 2020 and approved by the stockholders of the Company at the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders held on June 3, 2020 (the “Effective Date”). The 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan replaced the Monster Beverage Corporation 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan”). The 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan provides for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, and other share-based awards up to an aggregate of 92,338,734 shares of the Company’s common stock, comprised of 64,000,000 new shares of common stock reserved under the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan, which were authorized on the Effective Date, and 28,338,734 shares of common stock that were available for grant under the 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan as of December 31, 2019 and prior to the Effective Date. Shares authorized under the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan are reduced by one (1) share for options or stock appreciation rights granted under the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan and for any grants after December 31, 2019 under the 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan, and by 2.6 shares for each share granted or issued with respect to a Full Value Award under either the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan or for any shares granted after December 31, 2019 under the 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan. A “Full Value Award” is an award other than an incentive stock option, a non-qualified stock option, or a stock appreciation right, which is settled by the issuance of shares. Options granted under the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan may be incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”), or non-qualified stock options. Shares previously granted under the 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan after December 31, 2019 and prior to the Effective Date of the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan reduced the number of shares available for grant under the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan. As of December 31, 2023, 15,547,318 shares of the Company’s common stock have been granted, net of cancellations, and 72,849,815 shares (as adjusted for Full Value Awards) of the Company’s common stock remain available for grant under the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) has sole and exclusive authority to grant stock awards to all employees who are not new hires and to all new hires who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act (“Section 16”). Each of the Compensation Committee and the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Executive Committee”) independently has the authority to grant stock awards to (i) new hires and (ii) employees receiving a promotion, in each case, who are not Section 16 employees. Awards granted by the Executive Committee are not subject to approval or ratification by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee. Options granted under the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan generally vest over a three three three In 2016, the Company adopted the Deferred Compensation Plan (as a sub plan to the 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan), pursuant to which eligible employees may elect to defer cash and/or equity based compensation and to receive the deferred amounts, together with an investment return (positive or negative), either at a pre-determined time in the future or upon termination of their employment with the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates that are participating employers under the Deferred Compensation Plan, as provided under the Deferred Compensation Plan and in relevant deferral elections. Deferrals under the Deferred Compensation Plan are unfunded and unsecured. As of December 31, 2023 deferrals under the Deferred Compensation Plan are solely comprised of cash compensation and equity compensation and are not material in the aggregate. In 2017, the Company adopted the 2017 Directors Plan, a successor plan to the 2009 Monster Beverage Corporation Stock Incentive Plan for Non-Employee Directors. The 2017 Directors Plan permits the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares or restricted stock units, deferred awards, dividend equivalents, and other share based awards up to an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company to non-employee directors of the Company. Each calendar year, a non-employee director will receive an annual retainer and annual equity award, as provided for in the 2017 Directors Plan, which may be modified from time to time. In February 2022, the Board of Directors amended and restated the 2017 Directors Plan to provide for increases to the annual cash retainer and annual equity retainer that non-employee directors are entitled to receive. Currently, non-employee directors receive an annual equity retainer of approximately $175,000 in the form of restricted stock units at each annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders or promptly thereafter. A non-employee director’s annual award of restricted stock units will generally vest on the earliest to occur of: (a) the last business day immediately preceding the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders in the calendar year following the calendar year in which the grant date occurs, (b) a Change of Control (as defined in the 2017 Directors Plan), (c) the non-employee director’s death, or (d) the date of the non-employee director’s separation from service due to disability, so long as the non-employee director remains a non-employee director through such date. The Board of Directors may in its discretion award non-employee directors stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and other share-based awards in lieu of or in addition to restricted stock units. The Board of Directors may amend or terminate the 2017 Directors Plan at any time, subject to certain limitations set forth in the 2017 Directors Plan. As of December 31, 2023, 260,428 shares of the Company’s common stock had been granted under the 2017 Directors Plan, and 2,239,572 shares of the Company’s common stock remain available for grant. In 2017, the Company adopted the Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors (as a sub plan to the 2017 Directors Plan), pursuant to which the Board of Directors may permit non-employee directors to elect, at such times and in accordance with rules and procedures (or sub-plan) adopted by the Board of Directors (which are intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code, as applicable), to receive all or any portion of such non-employee director’s compensation, whether payable in cash or in equity, on a deferred basis. Deferrals under the Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors are unfunded and unsecured. As of December 31, 2023, deferrals under the Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors are solely comprised of cash compensation and equity compensation and are not material in the aggregate. The 2017 Directors Plan was adopted to effectuate any such deferrals. The 2017 Directors Plan is administered by the Board of Directors. Each award granted under the 2017 Directors Plan will be evidenced by a written agreement and will contain the terms and conditions that the Board of Directors deems appropriate. In February 2022, as part of the Board of Directors’ amendment and restatement of the 2017 Directors Plan, such amendment and restatement also introduced the requirement for each non-employee director to satisfy the share ownership guidelines set forth below, as may be modified by the Board of Directors from time to time. The current share ownership guidelines provide that non-employee directors of the Company must: ● Hold shares of Company common stock having a total value of five times the annual retainer payable to a non-employee director (excluding any portion of the annual retainer attributable to a non-employee director’s service as a member of a subcommittee, as a chair of a subcommittee or as the lead independent director, as applicable). For this purpose, deferred shares or deferred restricted stock units will be deemed held, to the extent vested. ● The minimum stock ownership level must be achieved by each non-employee director by the fifth anniversary of such non-employee director’s initial appointment to the Board of Directors. ● Once achieved, ownership of the guideline amount should be maintained for so long as the non-employee director retains his or her seat on the Board of Directors. ● There may be rare instances where these guidelines would place a hardship on a non-employee director. In these cases or in similar circumstances, the Board of Directors will make the final decision as to developing an alternative stock ownership guideline for a non-employee director that reflects the intention of these guidelines and his or her personal circumstances. The Company recorded $68.8 million, $64.1 million and $70.5 million of compensation expense relating to outstanding options, restricted stock units, performance share units and other share-based awards during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, 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 years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $62.2 million, $9.1 million and $6.8 million, respectively. Stock Options Under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans, all stock options granted through December 31, 2023 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 employee 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 records compensation expense for non-employee stock options based on the estimated fair value of the options as of the earlier of (1) the date at which a commitment for performance by the non-employee to earn the stock option is reached or (2) the date at which the non-employee’s performance is complete, 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: 2023 2022 2021 Dividend yield 0.0 % 0.0 % 0.0 % Expected volatility 27.6 % 27.7 % 28.9 % Risk-free interest rate 3.75 % 2.15 % 0.85 % Expected term 6.3 Years 6.1 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 Shares (in Price Per Term (in Aggregate Options thousands) Share years) Intrinsic Value Outstanding at January 1, 2023 29,710 $ 26.38 5.0 $ 724,651 Granted 01/01/23 - 03/31/23 3,962 $ 50.82 Granted 04/01/23 - 06/30/23 31 $ 59.36 Granted 07/01/23 - 09/30/23 25 $ 57.71 Granted 10/01/23 - 12/31/23 25 $ 52.54 Exercised (8,310) $ 15.67 Cancelled or forfeited (460) $ 40.96 Outstanding at December 31, 2023 24,983 $ 33.64 5.8 $ 598,866 Vested and expected to vest in the future at December 31, 2023 24,215 $ 33.30 5.7 $ 588,750 Exercisable at December 31, 2023 14,481 $ 27.25 4.0 $ 439,669 The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2023: Options Outstanding Options Exercisable Weighted Average Weighted Number Weighted Number Remaining Average Exercisable Average Range of Exercise Outstanding Contractual Exercise (In Exercise Prices ($) (In Thousands) Term (Years) Price ($) Thousands) Price ($) $ 11.50 - $ 21.99 3,218 2.2 $ 21.36 3,218 $ 21.36 $ 22.46 - $ 23.14 3,085 2.5 $ 22.87 3,085 $ 22.87 $ 24.38 - $ 28.98 833 4.6 $ 26.69 773 $ 26.59 $ 29.37 - $ 29.37 3,017 4.2 $ 29.37 3,017 $ 29.37 $ 29.84 - $ 31.20 4,208 5.6 $ 30.41 3,137 $ 30.34 $ 31.46 - $ 33.71 69 5.2 $ 32.25 45 $ 32.00 $ 36.62 - $ 36.62 4,305 8.2 $ 36.62 520 $ 36.62 $ 38.96 - $ 48.90 2,307 7.4 $ 44.18 686 $ 44.42 $ 50.82 - $ 50.82 3,873 9.2 $ 50.82 — $ — $ 52.02 - $ 59.36 68 9.5 $ 55.56 — $ — 24,983 5.8 $ 33.64 14,481 $ 27.25 The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $18.28 per share, $11.74 per share and $12.90 per share, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $333.5 million, $68.2 million and $51.2 million, respectively. Cash received from option exercises under all plans for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $130.3 million, $64.0 million and $45.7 million, respectively. At December 31, 2023, there was $96.3 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested options granted to employees under the Company’s share-based payment plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.0 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, 2023 2,026 $ 36.27 Granted 01/01/23 - 03/31/23 1 523 $ 48.49 Granted 04/01/23 - 06/30/23 22 $ 59.70 Granted 07/01/23 - 09/30/23 2 $ 56.38 Granted 10/01/23 - 12/31/23 8 $ 51.99 Vested (595) $ 32.84 Forfeited/cancelled (22) $ 32.49 Non-vested at December 31, 2023 1,964 $ 40.95 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 years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $51.24, $37.13 and $44.56 per share, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, 1.9 million of restricted stock units and performance share units are expected to vest. At December 31, 2023, total unrecognized compensation expense relating to non-vested restricted stock units and performance share units was $32.0 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.2 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 December 31, 2023, other share-based awards outstanding included grants that vest over three years payable in the first quarters of 2024, 2025 and 2026. At December 31, 2023, there was $0.3 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 1.0 years. Employee and Non-Employee Share-Based Compensation Expense The table below shows the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 for share-based compensation related to employees and non-employees.

INCOME TAXES | 17. INCOME TAXES The Company evaluated the various provisions of the Tax Reform Act, including, the global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) and the foreign derived intangible income provisions. The Company will treat any U.S. tax on foreign earnings under GILTI as a current period expense when incurred. Consolidated retained earnings at December 31, 2023 included undistributed after-tax earnings from certain non-U.S. subsidiaries that were not indefinitely reinvested. At December 31, 2023, the Company had a deferred tax liability of $8.4 million for the estimated taxes associated with the repatriation of these earnings.

The effect of the valuation allowances and the subsequent related impact on the Company’s overall tax rate was to increase the Company’s provision for income taxes by $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, increase the Company’s provision for income taxes by $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 and decrease the Company’s provision for income taxes by $8.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. At December 31, 2023, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $103.9 million. Of this amount, $79.5 million may be carried forward indefinitely. The remaining $24.4 million of net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2024. The following is a roll-forward of the Company’s total gross unrecognized tax benefits, not including interest and penalties, for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021: Gross Unrecognized Tax Benefits Balance at December 31, 2020 $ 742 Additions for tax positions related to the current year — Additions for tax positions related to the prior year — Decreases for tax positions related to prior years (742) Balance at December 31, 2021 $ — Additions for tax positions related to the current year — Additions for tax positions related to the prior year 3,020 Decreases for tax positions related to prior years — Balance at December 31, 2022 $ 3,020 Additions for tax positions related to the current year — Additions for tax positions related to the prior year 739 Decreases for tax positions related to prior years (650) Balance at December 31, 2023 $ 3,109 The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had accrued approximately $0.6 million in interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits. If the Company were to prevail on all uncertain tax positions, it would not have a significant impact on the Company’s effective tax rate. It is expected that any change in the amount of unrecognized tax benefit change within the next 12 months will not be significant. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as to income tax in multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is in various stages of examination with certain states and certain foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s 2020 through 2022 U.S. federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the IRS. The Company’s state income tax returns are subject to examination for the 2019 through 2022 tax years. The United Kingdom and Ireland income tax returns are subject to examination for the 2019 through 2022 tax years. |

SEGMENT INFORMATION | |
SEGMENT INFORMATION | 20. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company has four operating and reportable segments: (i) Monster Energy® Drinks segment, which is primarily comprised of the Company’s Monster Energy® drinks, Reign Total Body Fuel® high performance energy drinks, Reign Storm® total wellness energy drinks, Bang Energy® drinks and Monster Tour Water®, (ii) Strategic Brands segment, which is primarily comprised of the various energy drink brands acquired from TCCC in 2015 as well as the Company’s affordable energy brands, Predator® and Fury®, (iii) Alcohol Brands segment, which is comprised of various craft beers, hard seltzers and FMBs and (iv) Other segment, which is comprised of the AFF Third-Party Products. 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 ready-to-drink packaged drinks directly to retail grocery and specialty chains, wholesalers, club stores, mass merchandisers, convenience and gas 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 and gas 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. The Company’s Alcohol Brands segment primarily generates operating revenues by selling kegged and ready-to-drink canned beers, hard seltzers and FMBs primarily to beer distributors in the United States. Generally, the Alcohol Brands segment has lower gross profit margin percentages than the Monster Energy® Drinks 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. The net revenues derived from the Company’s reportable segments and other financial information related thereto for the years ended December 31 are as follows: 2023 2022 2021 Net sales: Monster Energy® Drinks 1 $ 6,555,089 $ 5,833,211 $ 5,220,673 Strategic Brands 376,589 353,490 294,762 Alcohol Brands 2 184,855 101,405 — Other 23,494 22,944 25,917 Corporate and unallocated — — — $ 7,140,027 $ 6,311,050 $ 5,541,352 2023 2022 2021 Operating Income: Monster Energy® Drinks 1 $ 2,338,744 $ 1,850,053 $ 1,990,785 Strategic Brands 207,146 197,709 173,660 Alcohol Brands 2 (81,124) (31,502) — Other 3,564 3,040 6,935 Corporate and unallocated (514,975) (434,579) (373,913) $ 1,953,355 $ 1,584,721 $ 1,797,467 2023 2022 2021 Income before tax: Monster Energy® Drinks 1 $ 2,342,355 $ 1,853,011 $ 1,992,185 Strategic Brands 207,202 197,843 173,739 Alcohol Brands 2 (81,405) (31,772) — Other 3,610 3,041 6,935 Corporate and unallocated (403,280) (450,159) (371,440) $ 2,068,482 $ 1,571,964 $ 1,801,419 (1) Includes $40.0 million, $40.0 million and $41.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, related to the recognition of deferred revenue.

Leases | Leases – Leases are classified as either finance leases or operating leases based on criteria in FASB ASC 842, “Leases”. 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. The Company has elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term operating leases that have a term of 12 months or less. 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 consolidated statements of income. Lease expense for finance leases consists of the amortization of the ROU asset on a straight-line basis over the asset’s estimated useful life and is included in operating expenses in the consolidated statement of income. Interest expense on finance leases is calculated using the amortized cost basis and is included in interest and other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of income. |

For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, aggregate foreign currency transaction gains (losses), including the gains or losses on forward currency exchange contracts, amounted to ($60.2) million, ($37.9) million and $0.3 million, respectively, and have been recorded in interest and other income(expense), net, in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. |
