Coca-Cola paid $5.6 billion for the remaining stake in BodyArmor, its largest brand acquisition ever. It bought a sports drink built explicitly to attack Gatorade, giving Coca-Cola a credible competitor in a category PepsiCo had dominated for decades.
Coca-Cola bought Costa Coffee from Whitbread, its first move into a large hot drinks platform and its entry into physical coffee retail.
Coca-Cola acquired the Mexican sparkling mineral water brand Topo Chico, which had a devoted following in Texas long before it was distributed nationally. The price was not disclosed.
Coca-Cola raised its stake in Innocent Drinks to over ninety per cent, having first invested in 2009. The founders had built the brand on an explicitly independent identity, and the sale to a multinational was contentious among its customers.
Coca-Cola acquired Energy Brands, known as Glacéau, for $4.1 billion in cash, buying vitaminwater and smartwater. It was the company's largest acquisition to that point and a bet that growth would come from outside carbonated drinks.
Coca-Cola bought the Parle soft drink brands on returning to India, having left in 1977 rather than dilute its ownership under foreign investment rules. It acquired the market leader instead of competing with it, and Thums Up still outsells Coca-Cola's own cola in India.
Coca-Cola transferred its worldwide energy drink business, including NOS and Full Throttle, to Monster, and Monster handed its non-energy drinks the other way. Coca-Cola also took about 16.7% of Monster and two board seats. Monster recorded the shares issued for the energy portfolio at $1.5 billion. The effect was to divide the category between them: Coca-Cola stopped competing in energy drinks and became Monster's largest shareholder instead.
Coca-Cola controlled these 2 brands in the past. Each row shows when the ownership ended and who holds the brand now, so a page that once said Coca-Cola owned it still shows why it no longer does.
| Brand | Owned until | Owner today |
|---|---|---|
| Full Throttle | Jun 2015 | Monster Beverage |
