Cash used in investing activities increased to $929.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, from $357.7 million in the comparable 2025 period, a 160% year-over-year increase.

Additional investing uses included vans, promotional vehicles, coolers, production equipment, leasehold improvements, and construction or improvements to real property. The company expects to deploy excess operating cash toward investments, leasehold improvements, capital equipment, international brand development, real property, and potential compatible-business acquisitions.
