organic revenue performance financial
"Net revenue increased 8.5% and organic revenue2 increased 2.6%"
core EPS financial
"Core2 EPS increased 9%"
Core EPS is a company’s reported earnings per share after removing one-time or unusual items so investors see the business’s regular profit per share; think of it as the household’s monthly income after ignoring a one-off inheritance or emergency expense. It matters because it highlights the company’s underlying, repeatable profitability and makes it easier to compare performance across periods and with other firms, though the adjustments can vary by company.
core constant currency EPS financial
"Core constant currency2 EPS increased 5%"
mark-to-market net impact financial
"a favorable impact of net mark-to-market gains on commodity derivatives"
free cash flow conversion financial
"Free cash flow conversion: Free cash flow divided by core net income attributable to PepsiCo."
Free cash flow conversion measures how effectively a company turns its reported profits into actual cash that can be used for growth, debt repayment, or dividends. It compares the cash generated after expenses to the company's net income, similar to how a person might compare their savings to their paycheck. High conversion indicates the company is efficient at translating profits into cash, which is important for investors assessing its financial health and flexibility.

Please refer to PepsiCo’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2026 (Q1 2026 Form 10-Q) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for additional information regarding PepsiCo’s financial results.
1
•Net revenue increased 8.5% due to a 3.4-percentage-point benefit from foreign exchange translation, 2.6% organic revenue growth, and a 2.5-percentage-point net benefit from acquisitions and divestitures. Organic revenue growth reflects the benefits associated with effective net pricing and a slight contribution from organic volume growth.
◦In North America, PepsiCo Foods and PepsiCo Beverages delivered a sequential acceleration in reported net revenue and organic revenue growth. PepsiCo Foods delivered volume growth as innovation and affordability initiatives began to take hold. PepsiCo Beverages volume trends also improved sequentially and versus the prior year.
◦The international businesses performed well with each segment delivering a sequential acceleration in net revenue growth. Organic revenue growth was aided by good performance in Asia Pacific Foods; Europe, Middle East and Africa; and International Beverages Franchise while Latin America Foods remained resilient.
•Operating profit increased 24% and operating margin expanded 210 basis points. This reflects a core operating profit increase of 9%, with core operating margin expansion of 10 basis points, a favorable impact of net mark-to-market gains on commodity derivatives and a favorable net impact of acquisition and divestiture-related charges/credits. Core operating profit performance was primarily driven by productivity savings, net revenue growth and a 4-percentage-point benefit from foreign exchange translation, partially offset by certain operating cost increases.
•EPS increased 27% and core EPS increased 9%, primarily driven by the operating profit growth.

(a)Excludes the impact of acquisitions and divestitures. In certain instances, the volume change shown here differs from the impact of organic volume change on net revenue performance disclosed in the Organic Revenue Performance table on page A-7, due to the impacts of product mix, nonconsolidated joint venture volume, and, for our franchise beverage businesses, temporary timing differences between bottler case sales (BCS) and concentrate shipments and equivalents (CSE). We report net revenue from our franchise beverage businesses based on CSE. The volume sold by our nonconsolidated joint ventures has no direct impact on our net revenue.
Note: Amounts may not sum due to rounding.

Fiscal 2026 Guidance and Outlook
The Company provides guidance on a non-GAAP basis as we cannot predict certain elements which are included in reported GAAP results, including the impact of foreign exchange translation and commodity mark-to-market net impacts.
For 2026, the Company continues to expect:
•Organic revenue to increase between 2 and 4 percent;
•Core constant currency EPS to increase between 4 and 6 percent;
•A core annual effective tax rate of approximately 22 percent;
•Capital spending to be below 5 percent of net revenue;
•A free cash flow conversion ratio of at least 80 percent; and
•Total cash returns to shareholders of approximately $8.9 billion, comprised of dividends of $7.9 billion and share repurchases of $1.0 billion.
The Company also continues to expect a foreign exchange translation tailwind of approximately 1 percentage point to benefit reported net revenue and core EPS growth, based on current foreign exchange rates. In addition, acquisitions, net of divestitures, that occurred in 2025 are expected to contribute 1 percentage point to reported net revenue growth in 2026.
The assumptions and the guidance above imply net revenue growth within a range of 4 to 6 percent and core EPS growth of approximately 5 to 7 percent in fiscal 2026, which includes the anticipated impact of global minimum tax regulations.

Non-GAAP Measures
In discussing financial results and guidance, the Company refers to the following measures which are not in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP): organic revenue performance, core results, core constant currency results, free cash flow and free cash flow conversion. We use non-GAAP financial measures internally to make operating and strategic decisions, including the preparation of our annual operating plan, evaluation of our overall business performance and as a factor in determining compensation for certain employees. We believe presenting non-GAAP financial measures provides additional information to facilitate comparison of our historical operating results and trends in our underlying operating results and provides additional transparency on how we evaluate our business. We also believe presenting these measures allows investors to view our performance using the same measures that we use in evaluating our financial and business performance and trends.
We consider quantitative and qualitative factors in assessing whether to adjust for the impact of items that may be significant or that could affect an understanding of our ongoing financial and business performance or trends. Examples of items for which we may make adjustments include: amounts related to mark-to-market gains or losses (non-cash); charges related to restructuring plans; charges and credits associated with acquisitions and divestitures; gains associated with divestitures; asset impairment charges (non-cash); product recall-related impact; pension and retiree medical-related amounts, including all settlement and curtailment gains and losses; charges or adjustments related to the enactment of new laws, rules or regulations, such as tax law changes; amounts related to the resolution of tax positions; tax benefits related to reorganizations of our operations; and debt redemptions, cash tender or exchange offers. See below for a description of adjustments to our GAAP financial measures included herein.
Non-GAAP information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as or comparable to similar non-GAAP measures presented by other companies.
Glossary
We use the following definitions when referring to our non-GAAP financial measures:
Acquisitions and divestitures: mergers and acquisitions activity, as well as divestitures and other structural changes, including changes in ownership or control in consolidated subsidiaries and nonconsolidated equity investees.
Bottler case sales (BCS): Measure of physical beverage volume shipped to retailers and independent distributors from both PepsiCo and our independent bottlers.
Concentrate shipments and equivalents (CSE): Measure of our physical beverage volume shipments to independent bottlers.
Constant currency: Financial results assuming constant foreign currency exchange rates used for translation based on the rates in effect for the comparable prior-year period. In order to compute our constant currency results, we multiply or divide, as appropriate, our current-year U.S. dollar results by the current-year average foreign exchange rates and then multiply or divide, as appropriate, those amounts by the prior-year average foreign exchange rates. We also apply the constant currency calculation for our subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies.
Core: Core results are non-GAAP financial measures which exclude certain items from our financial results. For further information regarding these excluded items, refer to “Items Affecting Comparability” in “Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Q1 2026 Form 10-Q and in “Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2025. For the periods presented, core results exclude the following items:
Mark-to-market net impact
Mark-to-market net gains and losses on commodity derivatives in corporate unallocated expenses. These gains and losses are subsequently reflected in segment results when the segments recognize the cost of the underlying commodity in operating profit.
Restructuring and impairment charges
Expenses related to the multi-year productivity plan publicly announced in 2019, which was expanded and extended through the end of 2030 to take advantage of additional opportunities within the initiatives of the plan.
Acquisition and divestiture-related charges/credits
Acquisition and divestiture-related charges/credits include merger and integration charges, transaction expenses, such as consulting, advisory and other professional fees, as well as fair value adjustments to contingent consideration. Merger and integration charges include employee-related costs, closing costs and other integration costs.
Effective net pricing: Reflects the year-over-year impact of discrete pricing actions, sales incentive activities and mix resulting from selling varying products in different package sizes and in different countries.
A - 5
Free cash flow: Net cash from operating activities less capital spending, plus sales of property, plant and equipment. Since net capital spending (capital spending less cash proceeds from sales of property, plant and equipment) is essential to our product innovation initiatives and maintaining our operational capabilities, we believe that it is a recurring and necessary use of cash. As such, we believe investors should also consider net capital spending when evaluating our cash from operating activities. Free cash flow is used by us primarily for acquisitions and financing activities, including debt repayments, dividends and share repurchases. Free cash flow is not a measure of cash available for discretionary expenditures since we have certain non-discretionary obligations such as debt service that are not deducted from the measure.
Free cash flow conversion: Free cash flow divided by core net income attributable to PepsiCo.
Organic revenue performance: A measure that adjusts for the impacts of foreign exchange translation (on a constant currency basis, as defined above), acquisitions and divestitures, and every five or six years, the impact of an additional week of results. We also apply the constant currency calculation for our subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies. We believe organic revenue performance provides useful information in evaluating the results of our business because it adjusts for items that we believe are not indicative of ongoing performance or that we believe impact comparability with the prior year.
2026 guidance
Our 2026 organic revenue performance guidance adjusts for the impacts of foreign exchange translation (on a constant currency basis, as defined above) and acquisitions and divestitures. Our 2026 core effective tax rate guidance, our 2026 core constant currency EPS growth guidance and our projected 2026 core net income attributable to PepsiCo (a component of free cash flow conversion ratio) exclude the mark-to-market net impact included in corporate unallocated expenses, restructuring and impairment charges and other items noted above. Our 2026 core constant currency EPS growth guidance also excludes the impact of foreign exchange translation. We are unable to reconcile our full year projected 2026 organic revenue growth to our full year projected 2026 reported net revenue growth because we are unable to predict the 2026 impact of foreign exchange due to the unpredictability of future changes in foreign exchange rates and because we are unable to predict the occurrence or impact of any acquisitions and divestitures. We are also not able to reconcile our full year projected 2026 core effective tax rate to our full year projected 2026 reported effective tax rate, our full year projected 2026 core constant currency EPS growth to our full year projected 2026 reported EPS growth and our full year projected 2026 core net income attributable to PepsiCo (a component of free cash flow conversion ratio) to our full year projected 2026 reported net income, because we are unable to predict the 2026 impact of foreign exchange or the mark-to-market net impact on commodity derivatives due to the unpredictability of future changes in foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. Therefore, we are unable to provide a reconciliation of these measures, without unreasonable effort.
