Growth in Key Markets and Channels

GURU experienced strong momentum in its U.S. operations, with the company reporting a 61.6% growth in the U.S. market in 2024. The company’s performance in the online channel, particularly through Amazon, played a pivotal role in this growth. GURU’s Zero Sugar line, which was launched in 2024, resonated well with consumers seeking clean, health-conscious energy drinks. The company’s record Prime Day sales, combined with robust online demand, were major drivers of this growth.

In Canada, GURU remained a dominant player in Quebec, fueled by product innovations like Peach Mango Punch and Zero Wild Berry. The company successfully sampled over 450,000 units through Costco Canada roadshows, which helped drive consumer engagement and brand awareness. Additionally, GURU sampled 150,000 units at universities and various events, receiving valuable consumer feedback to guide its future product offerings.

The transition back to GURU’s direct distribution model in Canada, set for May 2025, is expected to further improve brand control and distribution efficiency. The move will give GURU greater flexibility in the Canadian market and allow the company to optimize its growth strategies post-transition.
