**Andrea Teixeira, JPMorgan Chase & Co, Research Division**

Okay, let’s restart our sessions. I’m Andrea Teixeira, the senior analyst covering beverages, household, and personal care. It’s our pleasure to welcome Celsius Holdings to our conference. Representing Celsius today is Toby David, their Chief of Staff. We also appreciate the support of everyone listening to us on the webcast.

**Andrea Teixeira:**
Toby, one of the things we want to hear from you post third quarter is an overview of what happened. There was obviously a lot of volatility around the results, so we’d like to get your perspective on the adjustments made. In retrospect, how do you feel about the buy-side and sell-side expectations? And how should we be thinking about the fourth quarter?

**Toby David, Chief of Staff:**
Sure. That’s going to be a lengthy answer, so let’s start at the beginning. First of all, thanks for having us today.

We believed we had a very strong Q3. We kicked off the quarter with $200 million in EBITDA. Celsius demonstrated some really robust growth rates, and Alani continued its meteoric rise.

Clearly, there were some different perspectives between the buy side and the sell side. When looking at the last 52 weeks, it’s important to note that Q3 last year was a complete anomaly, which affected how people modeled expectations for this quarter. Over the past year, various dynamics evolved that influenced our results.

We have really leaned into the LIVE. FIT. GO. marketing campaign, which we have been pushing since June. This campaign remains a core driver of our brand momentum moving forward.

The Deputies Who Tortured a Mississippi County

When Andrea Dettore-Murphy first moved to Rankin County, Mississippi, she didn’t believe the stories she heard about how brutal the sheriff’s department could be when pursuing suspected drug crimes.

But in 2018, she learned the hard way that the rumors were true. A group of sheriff’s deputies raided the home of her friend Rick Loveday and beat him relentlessly while she watched.

A few years later, Dettore-Murphy says deputies put her through another haunting incident involving her friend Robert Grozier. She was just the latest in a long line of people who said they witnessed or experienced torture by a small group of deputies, some of whom called themselves the “Goon Squad.”

For nearly two decades, these deputies roamed Rankin County at night, beating, tasing, and choking suspects accused of drug crimes until they admitted to buying or selling illegal substances. Their reign of terror continued unabated until 2023, when the deputies were finally exposed.

“Rankin County has always been notorious,” says Garry Curro, one of the Goon Squad’s many alleged victims. “They don’t follow the laws of the land. They make their own laws.”
