Rhea-AI Filing Summary
The Coca-Cola Company reported modest 2025 sales growth but sharply higher profits and cash flow. Net operating revenues rose 2% to $47.9 billion, while organic revenues grew 5% for both the fourth quarter and full year.
Full-year operating income increased 38% to $13.8 billion and operating margin improved to 28.7%. EPS grew 23% to $3.04, with comparable EPS (non-GAAP) up 4% to $3.00. In the fourth quarter, revenue grew 2% to $11.8 billion and EPS rose 4% to $0.53, although reported operating income fell 32% due largely to a $960 million non-cash impairment of the BODYARMOR trademark.
Cash flow from operations reached $7.4 billion in 2025 and free cash flow was $5.3 billion, or $11.4 billion excluding a $6.1 billion contingent consideration payment related to fairlife. The company projects 2026 free cash flow of $12.2 billion based on $14.4 billion of operating cash flow and $2.2 billion of capital spending.
Positive
- Strong profit and margin expansion in 2025: Net operating revenues grew 2% to $47.9 billion, operating income rose 38% to $13.8 billion, EPS increased 23% to $3.04, and comparable operating margin improved to 31.2%, supported by 5% organic revenue growth.
- Robust cash generation and 2026 outlook: 2025 cash flow from operations was $7.4 billion and free cash flow was $5.3 billion ($11.4 billion excluding the fairlife contingent payment), with projected 2026 free cash flow of $12.2 billion on $14.4 billion operating cash flow.
Negative
- Significant Q4 impairment and margin pressure: Fourth-quarter reported operating income declined 32% and included a $960 million non-cash impairment of the BODYARMOR trademark, weighing on quarterly operating margin despite underlying comparable margin expansion.
- Currency headwinds dampening results: EPS growth faced sizable foreign exchange pressure, with an 8-point currency headwind to full-year reported EPS and a 5-point currency headwind to comparable EPS, limiting the translation of operating gains into per-share growth.

Company Provides 2026 Financial Outlook
ATLANTA, Feb. 10, 2026 – The Coca-Cola Company today reported fourth quarter and full year 2025 results. “I’m encouraged by our performance in 2025 which showed both the resilience and momentum that define our business,” said James Quincey, Chairman and CEO of The Coca-Cola Company. “Looking ahead, we will focus on executing our strategy even better and positioning our system for long-term success.”
| Highlights | ||
| Quarterly/Full Year Performance | ||
•Revenues: For the quarter, net revenues grew 2% to $11.8 billion, and organic revenues (non-GAAP) grew 5%, driven by a 4% increase in concentrate sales and 1% growth in price/mix. Concentrate sales were 3 points ahead of unit case volume, driven by the timing of concentrate shipments and one additional day. For the full year, net revenues grew 2% to $47.9 billion, and organic revenues (non-GAAP) grew 5%, driven by 4% growth in price/mix and a 1% increase in concentrate sales. Concentrate sales were 1 point ahead of unit case volume due to the timing of concentrate shipments.
•Operating margin: For the quarter, operating margin was 15.6% versus 23.5% in the prior year, and comparable operating margin (non-GAAP) was 24.4% versus 24.0% in the prior year. For the full year, operating margin was 28.7% versus 21.2% in the prior year, while comparable operating margin (non-GAAP) was 31.2% versus 30.0% in the prior year. For the quarter, operating margin performance included items impacting comparability, including a
1
non-cash impairment charge of $960 million related to the BODYARMOR trademark, as well as currency headwinds. For the full year, operating margin performance included items impacting comparability and currency headwinds. For both the quarter and the full year, comparable operating margin (non-GAAP) expansion was driven by organic revenue (non-GAAP) growth and effective cost management, partially offset by currency headwinds.
•Earnings per share: For the quarter, EPS grew 4% to $0.53, while comparable EPS (non-GAAP) grew 6% to $0.58. EPS performance included the impact of a 9-point currency headwind, while comparable EPS (non-GAAP) performance included the impact of a 5-point currency headwind. For the full year, EPS grew 23% to $3.04, while comparable EPS (non-GAAP) grew 4% to $3.00. EPS performance included the impact of an 8-point currency headwind, while comparable EPS (non-GAAP) performance included the impact of a 5-point currency headwind.
•Market share: For both the quarter and the full year, the company gained value share in total nonalcoholic ready-to-drink (“NARTD”) beverages.
•Cash flow: For the full year, cash flow from operations and free cash flow (non-GAAP) were $7.4 billion and $5.3 billion, respectively, which reflects $6.1 billion of the contingent consideration payment made during the first quarter in conjunction with the acquisition of fairlife, LLC (“fairlife”) in 2020 (“fairlife contingent consideration payment”). Free cash flow excluding the fairlife contingent consideration payment (non-GAAP) was $11.4 billion.
| Company Updates | ||
•Recruiting the next generation of consumers through compelling local marketing platforms: During the quarter, the company used integrated marketing campaigns to drive volume growth across multiple global beverage brands. The company continues to focus on consumer passion points and key drinking occasions, coupled with strong commercial execution from bottling partners. For example, Trademark Coca-Cola’s “Rings of Magic” platform engaged younger consumers across approximately 1,500 universities in eight key markets globally, strengthening the brand’s connection to students with local “Study Break” activations. Fanta Halloween, activated in approximately 50 markets, offered immersive local experiences like “The Haunted Fanta Factory,” a limited-time only product launch, five iconic horror-themed packaging designs and increased display and shelf space. Powerade’s integrated activations at local sporting events – such as the FIFA World Cup 2026 CONMEBOL Qualifiers in Latin America and Major League Soccer playoffs in North America – offered exclusive in-person and digital experiences. These marketing activations, along with bold innovations like Powerade Power Water and Powerade Sours, drove increased shelf space, leading to sports drinks gaining global value share.
•Adapting the company to drive enduring growth: To deepen market intimacy, unlock scale and deliver balanced topline growth, the company recently announced a number of key changes. First, to accelerate digital transformation and bring the business closer to consumers, the company has created the role of Chief Digital Officer. This role will unify digital, data and operational excellence, with a clear mandate to enhance speed, effectiveness and efficiency at every level – from consumers to customers to the company itself. Second, the company has appointed two seasoned operators across a set of key geographies to steward broader growth. Additionally, the company will establish innovation hubs and commercial centers of excellence in key markets across all operating segments. These collective actions aim to better position the business to recruit new consumers, lead with marketing and innovation and steer a future-ready system.

| Outlook | ||
The 2026 outlook information provided below includes forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, which management uses in measuring performance. The company is not able to reconcile full year 2026 projected organic revenues (non-GAAP) to full year 2026 projected reported net revenues, full year 2026 projected comparable net revenues (non-GAAP) to full year 2026 projected reported net revenues, full year 2026 projected underlying effective tax rate (non-GAAP) to full year 2026 projected reported effective tax rate, full year 2026 projected comparable currency neutral EPS excluding acquisitions and divestitures (non-GAAP) to full year 2026 projected reported EPS, or full year 2026 projected comparable EPS (non-GAAP) to full year 2026 projected reported EPS without unreasonable efforts because it is not possible to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the exact timing and exact impact of acquisitions and divestitures throughout 2026; the exact timing and exact amount of items impacting comparability throughout 2026; and the exact impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates throughout 2026. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the company’s full year 2026 reported financial results.
Full Year 2026
The company expects to deliver organic revenue (non-GAAP) growth of 4% to 5%.
For comparable net revenues (non-GAAP), the company expects an approximate 1% currency tailwind based on the current rates and including the impact of hedged positions. In addition, the company expects an approximate 4% headwind from acquisitions and divestitures. This assumes the pending sale of Coca-Cola Beverages Africa ("CCBA") closes during the second half of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals.
The company’s underlying effective tax rate (non-GAAP) is estimated to be 20.9%.This does not include the impact of ongoing tax litigation with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, if the company were not to prevail.
The company expects to deliver comparable currency neutral EPS excluding acquisitions and divestitures (non-GAAP) growth of 5% to 6% and comparable EPS (non-GAAP) growth of 7% to 8% versus $3.00 in 2025.
Comparable EPS (non-GAAP) percentage growth is expected to include an approximate 3% currency tailwind based on the current rates and including the impact of hedged positions. In addition, the company expects an approximate 1% headwind from acquisitions and divestitures. This assumes the pending sale of CCBA closes during the second half of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals.
The company expects to generate free cash flow (non-GAAP) of approximately $12.2 billion. This consists of cash flow from operations of approximately $14.4 billion, less capital expenditures of approximately $2.2 billion.
First Quarter 2026 Considerations
Comparable net revenues (non-GAAP) are expected to include a 2% currency tailwind based on the current rates and including the impact of hedged positions, in addition to a 1% headwind from acquisitions and divestitures.
7
Comparable EPS (non-GAAP) percentage growth is expected to include a 2% currency tailwind based on the current rates and including the impact of hedged positions.
The first quarter has six additional days compared to the first quarter of 2025.
| Notes | ||
•All references to growth rate percentages and share compare the results of the period to those of the prior year comparable period, unless otherwise noted.
•All references to volume and volume percentage changes indicate unit case volume, unless otherwise noted. All volume percentage changes are computed based on average daily sales in the fourth quarter, unless otherwise noted, and are computed on a reported basis for the full year. “Unit case” means a unit of measurement equal to 192 U.S. fluid ounces of finished beverage (24 eight-ounce servings), with the exception of unit case equivalents for Costa non-ready-to-drink beverage products, which are primarily measured in number of transactions. “Unit case volume” means the number of unit cases (or unit case equivalents) of company beverages directly or indirectly sold by the company and its bottling partners to customers or consumers.
•“Concentrate sales” represents the amount of concentrates, syrups, beverage bases, source waters and powders/minerals (in all instances expressed in unit case equivalents) sold by, or used in finished beverages sold by, the company to its bottling partners or other customers. For Costa non-ready-to-drink beverage products, “concentrate sales” represents the amount of beverages, primarily measured in number of transactions (in all instances expressed in unit case equivalents), sold by the company to customers or consumers. In the reconciliation of reported net revenues, “concentrate sales” represents the percent change in net revenues attributable to the increase (decrease) in concentrate sales volume for the geographic operating segments after considering the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, if any. For the Bottling Investments operating segment for the fourth quarter, this represents the percent change in net revenues attributable to the increase (decrease) in unit case volume computed based on total sales (rather than average daily sales) in each of the corresponding periods after considering the impact of structural changes, if any. For the Bottling Investments operating segment for the full year, this represents the percent change in net revenues attributable to the increase (decrease) in unit case volume after considering the impact of structural changes, if any. The Bottling Investments operating segment reflects unit case volume growth for consolidated bottlers only.
•“Price/mix” represents the change in net operating revenues caused by factors such as price changes, the mix of products and packages sold, and the mix of channels and geographic territories where the sales occurred.
•First quarter 2025 financial results were impacted by two fewer days as compared to first quarter 2024, and fourth quarter 2025 financial results were impacted by one additional day as compared to fourth quarter 2024. Unit case volume results for the quarters are not impacted by the variances in days due to the average daily sales computation referenced above.

| THE COCA-COLA COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES | ||
| Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures | ||
The company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP” or referred to herein as “reported”). To supplement our consolidated financial statements reported on a GAAP basis, we provide the following non-GAAP financial measures: “comparable net revenues,” “comparable currency neutral net revenues,” “organic revenues,” “comparable operating margin,” “underlying operating margin,” “comparable operating income,” “comparable currency neutral operating income,” “comparable EPS,” “comparable currency neutral EPS,” “comparable currency neutral EPS excluding acquisitions and divestitures,” “underlying effective tax rate,” “free cash flow,” “free cash flow excluding the fairlife contingent consideration payment” and “net share repurchases” each of which is defined below. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with additional meaningful financial information that should be considered when assessing our underlying business performance and trends. Further, management believes these non-GAAP financial measures also enhance investors’ ability to compare period-to-period financial results. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures do not represent a comprehensive basis of accounting. Therefore, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP information are also included below. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating, compensation and planning decisions and in evaluating the company’s performance. Disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures allows investors and management to view our operating results excluding the impact of items that are not reflective of the underlying operating performance.
DEFINITIONS
•“Currency neutral operating results” are determined by dividing or multiplying, as appropriate, our current period actual U.S. dollar operating results by the current period actual exchange rates (that include the impact of current period currency hedging activities) to derive our current period local currency operating results. We then multiply or divide, as appropriate, the derived current period local currency operating results by the foreign currency exchange rates (that also include the impact of the comparable prior period currency hedging activities) used to translate the company’s financial statements in the comparable prior year period to determine what the current period U.S. dollar operating results would have been if the foreign currency exchange rates had not changed from the comparable prior year period.
•“Acquisitions and divestitures” generally refers to acquisitions and divestitures of brands or businesses, some of which the company considers to be structural changes. The impact of acquisitions and divestitures is the difference between the change in the relevant metric and the change in what that metric would have been if we removed the amount associated with an acquisition or a divestiture from either the current year or the prior year, as applicable. We generally refer to acquisitions and divestitures of bottling operations as “structural changes,” which are a component of acquisitions and divestitures and also include the impact of intercompany transactions between our operating segments, as applicable. Typically, structural changes do not impact the company’s unit case volume on a consolidated basis or at the geographic operating segment level. In January, February and December 2024 as well as May 2025, the company refranchised our bottling operations in certain territories in India, and in February 2024, the company refranchised our bottling operations in Bangladesh and the Philippines. The impact of each of these refranchisings has been included as a structural change in our analysis of net revenues on a consolidated basis as well as for the Bottling Investments and Asia Pacific operating segments for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025, as applicable. Additionally, in October 2025, the company sold our finished product operations in Nigeria. The impact of this sale has been included as a divestiture in our analysis of net revenues on a consolidated basis as well as for the EMEA operating segment for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025.
•“Comparable net revenues” is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability (discussed further below). “Comparable currency neutral net revenues” is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability (discussed further below) as well as the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Management believes the comparable net revenues (non-GAAP) growth measure and the comparable currency neutral net revenues (non-GAAP) growth measure provide investors with useful supplemental information to enhance their understanding of the company’s revenue performance and trends by improving their ability to compare our period-to-period results. “Organic revenues” is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or has otherwise been
15
| THE COCA-COLA COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES | ||
| Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures | ||
adjusted for the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, as applicable, and the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Management believes the organic revenue (non-GAAP) growth measure provides users with useful supplemental information regarding the company’s ongoing revenue performance and trends by presenting revenue growth excluding the impact of foreign exchange as well as the impact of acquisitions and divestitures.
•“Comparable operating income” is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability (discussed further below). “Comparable currency neutral operating income” is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability (discussed further below) and the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. “Comparable operating margin” is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability (discussed further below). “Underlying operating margin” is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability (discussed further below), the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, and the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, as applicable. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the company’s performance and make resource allocation decisions. Further, management believes the comparable operating income (non-GAAP) growth measure, comparable currency neutral operating income (non-GAAP) growth measure, comparable operating margin (non-GAAP) measure and underlying operating margin (non-GAAP) measure enhance its ability to communicate the underlying operating results and provide investors with useful supplemental information to enhance their understanding of the company’s underlying business performance and trends by improving their ability to compare our period-to-period financial results.
•“Comparable EPS,” “comparable currency neutral EPS” and “comparable currency neutral EPS excluding acquisitions and divestitures” are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude or have otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability (discussed further below). Comparable currency neutral EPS (non-GAAP) has been adjusted for the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, and comparable currency neutral EPS excluding acquisitions and divestitures (non-GAAP) has been adjusted for the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, as applicable. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the company’s performance and make resource allocation decisions. Further, management believes the comparable EPS (non-GAAP), comparable currency neutral EPS (non-GAAP) and comparable currency neutral EPS excluding acquisitions and divestitures (non-GAAP) growth measures enhance its ability to communicate the underlying operating results and provide investors with useful supplemental information to enhance their understanding of the company’s underlying business performance and trends by improving their ability to compare our period-to-period financial results.
•“Underlying effective tax rate” is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents the estimated annual effective income tax rate on income before income taxes, which excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability (discussed further below).
•"Net share repurchases” is a non-GAAP financial measure that reflects the net amount of purchases of stock for treasury after considering proceeds from the issuances of stock and, as applicable, the net change in stock issuance receivables (related to employee stock options exercised but not settled prior to the end of the period) and the net change in treasury stock payables (for treasury shares repurchased but not settled prior to the end of the period).
•“Free cash flow” is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment. “Free cash flow excluding the fairlife contingent consideration payment” is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment and excludes the fairlife contingent consideration payment that was made in March 2025. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the company’s performance and make resource allocation decisions.
ITEMS IMPACTING COMPARABILITY
The following information is provided to give qualitative and quantitative information related to items impacting comparability. Items impacting comparability are not defined terms within GAAP. Therefore, our non-GAAP financial
16
| THE COCA-COLA COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES | ||
| Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures | ||
information may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We determine which items to consider as “items impacting comparability” based on how management views our business; makes financial, operating, compensation and planning decisions; and evaluates the company’s ongoing performance. Items such as charges, gains and accounting changes which are viewed by management as impacting only the current period or the comparable period, but not both, or as pertaining to different and unrelated underlying activities or events across comparable periods, are generally considered “items impacting comparability.” Items impacting comparability include, but are not limited to, asset impairments, transaction gains/losses including associated costs, and charges related to restructuring initiatives, in each case when exceeding a U.S. dollar threshold. Also included are our proportionate share of similar items incurred by our equity method investees, timing differences related to our economic (non-designated) hedging activities, and timing differences related to unrealized mark-to-market adjustments of equity securities and trading debt securities, regardless of size. In addition, we provide the impact that fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates had on our financial results (“currency neutral operating results” defined above).
Asset Impairments
During the three months and year ended December 31, 2025, the company recorded a charge of $960 million related to the impairment of our BODYARMOR trademark, which was primarily driven by revised projections of future operating results, including a slowing of the projected long-term growth rate for the category, an intensifying competitive environment, and more focused innovation and international rollout plans. Additionally, the company recorded charges of $13 million and $44 million, respectively, related to the impairment of a trademark in Latin America, which was primarily driven by revised projections of future operating results and changes in macroeconomic conditions. The company also recorded a charge of $41 million related to the impairment of a trademark and property, plant and equipment in Asia Pacific, which was primarily driven by revised projections of future operating results.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $40 million related to an equity method investee in Latin America, which was primarily driven by revised projections of future operating results. Additionally, the company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $25 million in Latin America, primarily driven by the restructuring of a joint venture.
During the three months and year ended December 31, 2024, the company recorded charges of $39 million and $126 million, respectively, related to the impairment of a trademark in Latin America, which was primarily driven by revised projections of future operating results and changes in macroeconomic conditions.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the company recorded a charge of $760 million related to the impairment of our BODYARMOR trademark, which was primarily driven by revised projections of future operating results and higher discount rates resulting from changes in macroeconomic conditions since the acquisition date. Additionally, the company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $34 million related to an equity method investee in Latin America.
Equity Investees
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the company recorded a net charge of $21 million. During the three months and year ended December 31, 2024, the company recorded net charges of $47 million and $92 million, respectively. These amounts represent the company’s proportionate share of significant operating and nonoperating items recorded by certain of our equity method investees.
Transaction Gains/Losses
During the three months and year ended December 31, 2025, the company recorded a gain of $1,952 million related to the sale of our ownership interest in Coca-Cola Consolidated, Inc. (“Coke Consolidated”), an equity method investee, to Coke Consolidated and a gain of $31 million related to the substantial liquidation of a joint venture in China. The company also recorded a charge of $1,274 million related to our bottling operations in Africa that became held for sale, primarily due to the negative net foreign currency translation adjustments that will be reclassified to income upon sale. Additionally, the company incurred charges of $5 million and $12 million, respectively, of transactions costs related to our divestiture activities.

| THE COCA-COLA COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES | ||
| Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures | ||
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the company recorded a gain of $331 million related to the sale of a portion of our ownership interest in Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc, an equity method investee. The company also recognized a gain of $102 million related to the refranchising of our bottling operations in certain territories in India. Additionally, the company recorded a charge of $393 million related to the sale of our finished product operations in Nigeria and a charge of $36 million related to the refranchising of certain bottling operations in Ghana. The company also recorded a charge of $47 million related to the remeasurement of our contingent consideration liability to fair value in conjunction with our acquisition of fairlife.

FAQ
How did Coca-Cola (KO) perform financially in full year 2025?
Coca-Cola posted modest sales growth with much stronger profits in 2025. Net operating revenues rose 2% to $47.9 billion, operating income increased 38% to $13.8 billion, and EPS climbed 23% to $3.04, while comparable EPS (non-GAAP) grew 4% to $3.00.
What were Coca-Cola’s (KO) fourth quarter 2025 results?
Fourth-quarter 2025 was mixed with higher EPS but lower operating income. Net operating revenues grew 2% to $11.8 billion, EPS increased 4% to $0.53, and comparable EPS rose 6% to $0.58, while reported operating income fell 32% due largely to a BODYARMOR impairment.
How much cash flow did Coca-Cola (KO) generate in 2025?
Coca-Cola generated strong cash flow in 2025. Cash flow from operations reached $7.4 billion and free cash flow was $5.3 billion. Excluding a $6.1 billion contingent consideration payment for fairlife, free cash flow (non-GAAP) totaled $11.4 billion for the year.
What major non-cash charges affected Coca-Cola’s 2025 results?
A large BODYARMOR trademark impairment significantly affected 2025 results. In the fourth quarter, Coca-Cola recorded a $960 million non-cash impairment on the BODYARMOR trademark, contributing to a 32% decline in reported operating income for the quarter and influencing margin comparisons.
How did currency movements impact Coca-Cola’s (KO) 2025 EPS?
Foreign exchange had a sizable negative impact on earnings per share. Full-year reported EPS growth of 23% to $3.04 included an 8-point currency headwind, while comparable EPS growth of 4% to $3.00 included a 5-point currency headwind, tempering underlying operational gains.
What is Coca-Cola’s projected free cash flow for 2026?
Coca-Cola expects higher free cash flow in 2026. The company projects 2026 free cash flow (non-GAAP) of $12.2 billion, based on projected GAAP net cash provided by operating activities of $14.4 billion and projected capital expenditures of $2.2 billion for the year ending December 31, 2026.
How did Coca-Cola’s operating margins change in 2025?
Operating margins expanded meaningfully in 2025. Reported operating margin improved from 21.2% to 28.7%, while comparable operating margin (non-GAAP) increased from 30.0% to 31.2%, aided by 5% organic revenue growth and cost discipline, partially offset by currency headwinds.
