Monster Beverage Corp

From time to time in the normal course of business, the Company is named in litigation, including mediation, arbitration, administrative proceedings, labor and employment matters, personal injury matters, consumer class actions, intellectual property matters, data privacy matters, and claims, including from prior distributors. Although it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of such litigation, based on the facts known to the Company, management believes that such litigation in aggregate 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 December 31, 2025 and 2024, $36.2 million and $16.8 million, respectively, of loss contingencies were included in the Company’s accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
