Keurig Dr Pepper's Q1 2024 financial results demonstrate a solid start to the year, signaling stability and potential growth prospects. The reported 3.4% increase in net sales to $3.5 billion, compared to the previous year, is indicative of the company's effective pricing strategies and product demand. This performance aligns with the steady, albeit moderate, growth patterns typically observed in the mature beverage industry.

An 11.8% rise in adjusted diluted EPS is a positive indicator for profitability and efficiency, revealing that Keurig Dr Pepper managed to translate revenue growth into bottom-line results effectively. Such an EPS increase could suggest a healthy fiscal discipline and may enhance shareholder value.

The reaffirmation of the 2024 guidance with expected mid-single-digit net sales growth and high-single-digit adjusted diluted EPS growth is reassuring for investors. It signals consistent performance and confidence in the company's ongoing strategy and operational plans, although the lack of GAAP reconciliation for forward-looking non-GAAP measures leaves some uncertainty regarding potential adjustments.

The company's strategic pricing adjustments, resulting in a net price realization of 3.1%, show an adept response to inflationary pressures and shifts in consumer behavior. However, the 0.3% decrease in volume/mix could raise concerns about underlying demand and market saturation.

Particularly noteworthy is the strengthening K-Cup® Pod market share and the strong brewer shipments growth within the U.S. Coffee segment. These factors reveal Keurig Dr Pepper's robust position in the at-home coffee market—a growing trend benefiting from shifts in consumer habits due to remote work culture. The company's ability to navigate these dynamics is critical in sustaining its competitive edge.

Internationally, the impressive 11.8% growth in net sales is a clear signal of strong market momentum and diversification. Expansion into global markets can be a robust growth driver for the company, reducing the over-reliance on domestic sales and providing a buffer against potential market downturns in the U.S.

The completion of Keurig Dr Pepper's CEO succession process with the appointment of Tim Cofer and Bob Gamgort's transition to Executive Chairman is notable for long-term strategic planning. Leadership continuity and the promise of an 'evolved strategy' could point to sustained innovation and potential market differentiation. Nevertheless, actual impacts of these strategic shifts will take time to manifest in financial results.

The emphasis on marketing investment and productivity gains are strong levers that the executive team seems focused on pulling to drive future growth. This mindset is critical in a competitive industry where brand loyalty and market presence can significantly influence consumer choices.

Despite first-quarter free cash flow being negative at $(73) million, largely due to timing in capital expenditures, the operation's health appears robust. This short-term cash outflow can be a strategic move to foster growth, provided that it translates into positive long-term returns.

Tim Cofer Appointed CEO & Board Member Effective April 26; Bob Gamgort to Serve as Executive Chairman

Incoming CEO Tim Cofer added, "I am honored to lead the next chapter of value creation as CEO of Keurig Dr Pepper and excited to partner with Bob, our Board, and all 28,000 colleagues to unlock our full potential as a beverage industry leader. We have a unique and competitively advantaged business, with a significant growth opportunity that we intend to realize through our evolved strategy.

First Quarter Consolidated Results

Net sales for the first quarter increased 3.4% to $3.5 billion. On a constant currency basis, net sales advanced 2.8%, driven by net price realization of 3.1%, partly offset by lower volume/mix of 0.3%.

GAAP operating income increased 31.0% to $765 million. The growth was driven by strong operating momentum, aided by a favorable year-over-year impact of items affecting comparability.

Adjusted operating income increased 17.5% to $825 million and totaled 23.8% as a percent of net sales. Adjusted operating income growth was driven by 9.7% Adjusted gross profit growth, translating to 350 basis points of Adjusted gross margin expansion. Adjusted operating income growth reflected higher net price realization and net productivity, partly offset by higher SG&A costs, including increased marketing investment, and the impact of the modest volume/mix decline.

GAAP net income for the quarter decreased 2.8% to $454 million, or $0.33 per diluted share. This performance primarily reflected an unfavorable year-over-year impact of items affecting comparability, partly offset by strong operating momentum.

Adjusted net income for the quarter advanced 10.0% to $530 million, and Adjusted diluted EPS increased 11.8% to $0.38. The Adjusted diluted EPS growth was driven by the Adjusted operating income growth and a lower share count, partly offset by a higher non-GAAP tax rate and higher non-GAAP interest expense.

Operating cash flow for the first quarter was $85 million and free cash flow totaled $(73) million. Free cash flow reflected carryover impacts of the Company's strategic reduction in supplier financing during 2023, as well as front-loaded timing in capital expenditures in 2024.

First Quarter Segment Results

U.S. Refreshment Beverages

Net sales for the first quarter increased 4.3% to $2.1 billion, driven by net price realization of 5.6%, partly offset by a decline in volume/mix of 1.3%. This performance reflected higher pricing compared to prior year, continued manageable elasticities across most categories, and the contribution from the Company's recently commenced Electrolit partnership.

GAAP operating income increased 25.5% to $615 million. Adjusted operating income increased 22.4% to $622 million and totaled 29.7% as a percent of net sales, driven by higher net price realization, net productivity, and an earned C4 performance incentive during the first quarter, partly offset by lower volume/mix and higher SG&A costs, including increased marketing investment.

U.S. Coffee

Net sales for the first quarter decreased 2.1% to $0.9 billion, driven by a net price decline of 1.8% and a modest volume/mix decline of 0.3%.

K-Cup® Pod shipments declined 1.1%, strengthening on a sequential basis, reflecting improving market share trends across the Company's owned & licensed portfolio.

Brewer shipments totaled 10.0 million for the twelve months ending March 31, 2024, declining 1.9% year-over-year. In the quarter, brewer shipments grew strongly, reflecting Keurig market share momentum and timing benefits.

GAAP operating income increased 6.9% to $248 million, primarily reflecting a favorable year-over-year impact of items affecting comparability.

Adjusted operating income increased 1.4% to $289 million, primarily driven by net productivity, which more than offset the impacts of targeted price reductions and increased marketing investment. Adjusted operating income margin totaled 31.7% as a percent of net sales and expanded 110 basis points versus the prior year.

International

Net sales for the first quarter increased 11.8% to $0.5 billion. On a constant currency basis, net sales advanced 7.0%, driven by volume/mix growth of 4.8% and net price realization of 2.2%. This strong performance reflected continued momentum across markets.

GAAP operating income increased 40.0% to $112 million, aided by favorable year-over-year impacts from items affecting comparability and currency translation.

Adjusted operating income increased 25.0% to $109 million and totaled 23.5% as a percent of net sales, driven by net sales growth and net productivity, partially offset by increased 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.

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.

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.

KEURIG DR PEPPER INC.
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); and (vii) other certain items that are excluded for comparison purposes to prior year periods.

For the first quarter 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, specifically the antitrust litigation, and (iv) restructuring expenses associated with the 2024 Network Optimization.

For the first quarter of 2023, the other certain items excluded for comparison purposes include productivity expenses.

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 first quarter 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.
