BodyArmor is owned by Coca-Cola (the United States, NYSE: KO), which acquired the brand on 1 November 2021 for $5.6 billion.[1][2] BodyArmor was founded in 2011 in the United States and was independent until 2021.
Evidence: The Coca-Cola Company Annual Report on Form 10-K filed 2026-02-20, SEC EDGAR, 20 February 2026. Verified from filings; last checked .
BodyArmor is a sports drink founded in 2011 by Mike Repole, who had previously built Vitaminwater, and positioned against Gatorade on coconut water and the absence of artificial dyes. Coca-Cola acquired full control in 2021 for $5.6 billion, its largest brand acquisition to that point.
Sentences about BodyArmor from Coca-Cola's latest annual filing[1], copied word for word.
In November 2021, the Company acquired the remaining 85% ownership interest in, and now owns 100% of BA Sports Nutrition, LLC ("BodyArmor"), which offers a line of sports performance and hydration beverages.
These charges consisted of $960 million related to the impairment of our BodyArmor trademark, $97 million related to the Company's productivity and reinvestment program, and $47 million related to the remeasurement of our contingent consideration liability to fair value in conjunction with our acquisition of fairlife in 2020, which brought the total liability to $6,173 million and was paid in March 2025.
In addition, other operating charges included $15 million for the amortization of noncompete agreements related to the BodyArmor acquisition in 2021, $12 million of transaction costs related to our divestiture activities and $10 million related to tax litigation expense.
A plain count of the times the name appears in the text of each annual report, not counting the start of a sentence. A brand that an owner writes about more is usually one it treats as central. The brand is named less often than it was three years earlier.
The USPTO record for the BodyArmor mark lists BA SPORTS NUTRITION, LLC as the owner of record (serial number 77105428). A trademark is often held by a group company rather than the listed parent, so the registrant's name can differ from the owner named above.[3]
