Celsius Earnings: Alani Buoys Sales Growth but Competition Heats Up in the Energy Aisle; Shares Rich

Celsius' fourth-quarter sales rose 117% to $722 million largely driven by a $370 million contribution from the Alani acquisition closed in April, but organic sales fell 8% at the larger Celsius brand (58% of sales). Top-line strength led to a 113% rise in adjusted EBITDA to $134 million.
