Q3 Performance Led by Strong U.S. Refreshment Beverages and International Momentum

Announced Acquisition of GHOST Advances Position in Attractive Energy Drink Space

Company Reaffirms 2024 Constant Currency Net Sales and Adjusted EPS Outlook

BURLINGTON, MA and FRISCO, TX, Oct. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (NASDAQ: KDP) today reported results for the third quarter of 2024 and reaffirmed its full year guidance.

	Reported GAAP Basis		Adjusted Basis¹
	Q3	YTD	Q3	YTD
Net Sales	$3.89 bn	$11.28 bn	$3.89 bn	$11.28 bn
% vs prior year	2.3 %	3.1 %	3.1 %	3.1 %
Diluted EPS	$0.45	$1.16	$0.51	$1.34
% vs prior year	21.6 %	10.5 %	6.3 %	8.1 %

Commenting on the results, CEO Tim Cofer stated, "Three quarters into the year, we remain on track to achieve our full year outlook, while notching significant progress against our multi-year strategic agenda. This morning's exciting announcement of our acquisition of GHOST is yet another such step, accelerating our portfolio evolution toward growth-accretive and consumer-preferred spaces. In Q3, we were encouraged by further improvement in our volume/mix performance despite a muted operating environment, and also demonstrated building cost discipline throughout the organization. Both are important elements underpinning our confidence as we focus on a strong finish to 2024 and plan for a healthy 2025."

Third Quarter Consolidated Results

Net sales for the third quarter increased 2.3% to $3.9 billion. On a constant currency basis, net sales advanced 3.1%, driven by volume/mix growth of 3.5%, partially offset by modestly unfavorable net price realization of 0.4%.

GAAP operating income increased 0.7% to $902 million, despite an unfavorable year-over-year impact of items affecting comparability. Adjusted operating income increased 7.5% to $1,050 million and totaled 27.0% as a percent of net sales. Adjusted operating income growth primarily reflected net productivity savings and disciplined overhead expense management, partially offset by the impact of inflation.

GAAP net income increased 18.9% to $616 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, aided by a favorable year-over-year impact of items affecting comparability. Adjusted net income increased 3.9% to $694 million, and Adjusted diluted EPS increased 6.3% to $0.51. Adjusted diluted EPS growth was driven by the healthy Adjusted operating income growth and a lower share count, partially offset by higher interest expense.

Operating cash flow for the third quarter was $628 million and free cash flow totaled $503 million.

Third Quarter Segment Results

U.S. Refreshment Beverages

Net sales for the third quarter increased 5.3% to $2.4 billion, driven by volume/mix growth of 4.0% and higher net price realization of 1.3%. The volume/mix performance reflected an incremental contribution from recent partnerships, as well as healthy base business trends.

GAAP operating income increased 6.8% to $722 million. Adjusted operating income also increased 6.8% to $742 million and totaled 31.0% as a percent of net sales. GAAP and Adjusted operating income growth were driven by the net sales growth, net productivity savings, and an earned C4 performance incentive, partially offset by the impact of cost inflation.

U.S. Coffee

Net sales for the third quarter decreased 3.6% to $1 billion, with volume/mix growth of 2.7% more than offset by unfavorable net price realization of 6.3%.

K-Cup® Pod shipments decreased 0.4%, reflecting owned & licensed market share gains in a still muted at-home coffee category.

Brewer shipments totaled 10.5 million for the twelve months ending September 30, 2024, increasing 3.3% year-over-year, supported by stabilizing coffeemaker category trends and continued Keurig market share momentum.

GAAP operating income decreased 13.3% to $254 million, which included an unfavorable year-over-year impact of items affecting comparability. Adjusted operating income decreased 7.2% to $309 million and totaled 31.7% as a percent of net sales. Adjusted operating income reflected the unfavorable impact of net price realization, which more than offset net productivity savings.

International

Net sales for the third quarter increased 0.4% to $0.5 billion. On a constant currency basis, net sales advanced 6.5%, driven by higher net price realization of 3.4% and volume/mix growth of 3.1%. The quarterly performance reflected broad-based market share gains across the portfolio.

GAAP operating income increased 12.9% to $157 million. Adjusted operating income increased 16.6% to $161 million and totaled 30.7% as a percent of net sales. GAAP and Adjusted operating income growth were driven by the net sales growth and net productivity savings, partially offset by the impact of inflation and an increase in marketing investment.

2024 Guidance

The 2024 guidance provided below is presented on a constant currency, non-GAAP basis. The Company does not provide reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures, due to the inability to predict the amount and timing of impacts outside of the Company's control on certain items, such as non-cash gains or losses resulting from mark-to-market adjustments of derivative instruments, among others, which could be material.

KDP reaffirmed its fiscal 2024 guidance for constant currency net sales growth in a mid-single-digit range and Adjusted diluted EPS growth in a high-single-digit range.

Acquisition of GHOST

In a separate press release issued this morning, the Company announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire GHOST. The full release can be found here.


¹ Adjusted financial metrics presented in this release are non-GAAP, excluding items affecting comparability and with growth rates presented on a constant currency basis. See reconciliations of GAAP results to Adjusted results on a constant currency basis in the accompanying tables.

Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent filings with the SEC. Our actual financial performance could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including the inherent uncertainty of estimates, forecasts and projections and the possibility that we are unable to successfully complete the transactions with GHOST Lifestyle LLC ("GHOST") on the anticipated terms and timing or to successfully integrate GHOST into our business, and our financial performance may be better or worse than anticipated.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, which differ from results using U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as supplements to and should not be considered replacements for, or superior to, the GAAP measures. These measures may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies, and other companies may not define the non-GAAP financial measure in the same way. Non-GAAP financial measures typically exclude certain charges, including one-time costs that are not expected to occur routinely in future periods, described by the Company as "items affecting comparability". Refer to page A-5 for the Company's description of items affecting comparability for each period presented. The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our operating and financial performance and to compare such performance to that of prior periods and to the performance of our competitors. Additionally, we use non-GAAP financial measures in making operational and financial decisions and in our budgeting and planning process. We believe that providing non-GAAP financial measures to investors helps investors evaluate our operating performance, profitability and business trends in a way that is consistent with how management evaluates such performance.

Adjusted gross profit. Adjusted gross profit is defined as Net sales less Cost of sales, as adjusted for items affecting comparability as described on page A-5. Management believes that Adjusted gross profit is useful for investors in evaluating the Company's operating results and understanding the Company's operating trends by adjusting certain items that can vary significantly depending on specific underlying transactions or events, thereby affecting comparability.

Adjusted operating income. Adjusted operating income is defined as Income from operations, as adjusted for items affecting comparability as described on page A-5. Management believes that Adjusted operating income is useful for investors in evaluating the Company's operating results and understanding the Company's operating trends by adjusting certain items that can vary significantly depending on specific underlying transactions or events, thereby affecting comparability.

Adjusted net income attributable to KDP. Adjusted net income attributable to KDP is defined as Net income attributable to KDP, as adjusted for items affecting comparability as described on page A-5. Management believes that Adjusted net income is useful for investors in evaluating the Company's operating results and understanding the Company's operating trends by adjusting certain items that can vary significantly depending on specific underlying transactions or events, thereby affecting comparability.

Adjusted diluted EPS. Adjusted diluted EPS is defined as Diluted EPS, as adjusted for items affecting comparability as described on page A-5. Management believes that Adjusted diluted EPS is useful for investors in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of our operations since it adjusts for certain items affecting overall comparability.

Adjusted gross margin. Adjusted gross margin is defined as Adjusted gross profit divided by Net sales. Management believes that Adjusted gross margin is useful for investors as supplemental measures to evaluate our operating performance and ability to manage ongoing costs.

Adjusted operating margin. Adjusted operating margin is defined as Adjusted Income from operations divided by Net sales. Management believes that Adjusted operating margin is useful for investors as supplemental measures to evaluate our operating performance and ability to manage ongoing costs.

Adjusted interest expense. Adjusted interest expense is defined as Interest expense, net, as adjusted for items affecting comparability as described on page A-5. Management believes that Adjusted interest expense is useful for investors in evaluating our performance and establishing expectations for the impacts of interest expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA, as adjusted for items affecting comparability as described on page A-5. EBITDA is defined as Net income attributable to KDP as adjusted for interest expense, net; provision for income taxes; depreciation expense; amortization of intangibles; and other amortization. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful for investors in evaluating the Company's operating results and understanding the Company's operating trends by adjusting certain items that can vary significantly depending on specific underlying transactions or events, thereby affecting comparability.

Management leverage ratio. Management leverage ratio is defined as KDP's total principal amounts of debt less cash and cash equivalents, divided by Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes that the Management leverage ratio is useful for investors in evaluating the Company's liquidity and assessing the Company's ability to meet its financial obligations.

Free cash flow. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for purchases of property, plant and equipment, proceeds from sales of property, plant and equipment, and certain items excluded for comparison to prior year periods. Management uses this measure to evaluate the company's performance and make resource allocation decisions.

Financial measures presented on a constant currency basis. Defined as certain financial statement captions and metrics adjusted for certain items affecting comparability, calculated on a constant currency basis by converting our current period local currency financial results using the prior period foreign currency exchange rates. Because our reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar, the value of financial measures presented in U.S. Dollar will be affected by changes in currency exchange rates. Therefore, we present certain financial measures on a constant currency basis for greater comparability.

RECONCILIATION OF CERTAIN NON-GAAP INFORMATION
(UNAUDITED)

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures that reflect the way management evaluates the business may provide investors with additional information regarding the Company's results, trends and ongoing performance on a comparable basis.

Specifically, investors should consider the following with respect to our financial results:

Adjusted: Defined as certain financial statement captions and metrics adjusted for certain items affecting comparability.

Items affecting comparability: Defined as certain items that are excluded for comparison to prior year periods, adjusted for the tax impact as applicable. Tax impact is determined based upon an approximate rate for each item. For each period, management adjusts for (i) the unrealized mark-to-market impact of derivative instruments not designated as hedges in accordance with U.S. GAAP that do not have an offsetting risk reflected within the financial results, as well as the unrealized mark-to-market impact of our Vita Coco investment; (ii) the amortization associated with definite-lived intangible assets; (iii) the amortization of the deferred financing costs associated with the DPS Merger; (iv) the amortization of the fair value adjustment of the senior unsecured notes obtained as a result of the DPS Merger; (v) stock compensation expense and the associated windfall tax benefit attributable to the matching awards made to employees who made an initial investment in KDP; (vi) transaction costs for significant business combinations (completed or abandoned); (vii) non-cash changes in deferred tax liabilities related to goodwill and other intangible assets as a result of tax rate or apportionment changes; and (viii) other certain items that are excluded for comparison purposes to prior year periods.

For the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, the other certain items excluded for comparison purposes include (i) productivity expenses; (ii) restructuring expenses associated with the 2023 CEO Succession and Associated Realignment; (iii) costs related to significant non-routine legal matters, including the antitrust litigation; (iv) restructuring expenses associated with the 2024 Network Optimization; and (v) the impact of the step-up of acquired inventory associated with the Kalil acquisition.

For the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, the other certain items excluded for comparison purposes include (i) productivity expenses; (ii) restructuring expenses associated with the 2023 CEO Succession and Associated Realignment; (iii) impairment recognized on certain intangible assets; and (iv) costs related to significant non-routine legal matters, including the antitrust litigation. Additionally, during the first nine months of 2023, the non-cash changes in deferred tax liabilities related to goodwill and other intangible assets included an immaterial non-cash true-up of the valuation of foreign deferred tax liabilities related to a prior period.

Constant currency adjusted: Defined as certain financial statement captions and metrics adjusted for certain items affecting comparability, calculated on a constant currency basis by converting our current period local currency financial results using the prior period foreign currency exchange rates.

For the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 and 2023, the supplemental financial data set forth below includes reconciliations of adjusted and constant currency adjusted financial measures to the applicable financial measure presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the same period.
