The results, released on October 22, 2026, indicate a 34% increase in net sales, driven by strong demand for its coconut water products.
The company reported net sales of $244 million for the third quarter, marking a $62 million increase compared to the same period last year.

Vita Coco's gross profit also saw a substantial rise, reaching $93 million for the third quarter, an increase of $24 million. The company's gross margin remained consistent at 38% of net sales, benefiting from tariff refunds that contributed to a year-to-date gross margin of 42%, up from 37% in the previous year.
In light of these results, Vita Coco has raised its full-year guidance for net sales to a range of $810 million to $820 million, with Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA expected to be between $170 million and $175 million.
