NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

1. General
ORGANIZATION
References in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to "KDP" or "the Company" refer to Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. and all entities included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Definitions of terms used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are included within the Master Glossary.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refers to some of KDP's owned or licensed trademarks, trade names and service marks, which are referred to as the Company's brands. All of the product names included herein are either KDP registered trademarks or those of the Company's licensors.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting principally of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with KDP's consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's Annual Report.
References to the "third quarter" indicate the Company's quarterly periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.
KDP's significant subsidiary, Maple Parent Holdings Corp., has a fiscal year end of the last Saturday in December, and its interim fiscal quarters end every thirteenth Saturday. The fiscal year for Maple Parent Holdings Corp. includes 53 weeks in 2022 and 52 weeks in 2021. KDP does not adjust for the difference in fiscal year between KDP and Maple Parent Holdings Corp. when applicable, as the difference is within the range permitted by the Exchange Act.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The process of preparing KDP's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and judgments that affect reported amounts. These estimates and judgments are based on historical experience, future expectations and other factors and assumptions the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and judgments are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are revised when necessary. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period of change. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY CHANGES
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
Prior to January 1, 2022, the Company recorded forfeitures as incurred. Effective January 1, 2022, the Company changed its accounting policy election to record expense only for awards expected to vest. Estimated forfeiture rates are based on historical data and are periodically reassessed. The cumulative effect of this change in accounting policy was recorded effective January 1, 2022. The impact of forfeitures on stock-based compensation has historically been insignificant to the Company.
Repurchases of Common Stock
In 2021, our Board authorized a four-year share repurchase program of up to $4 billion of our outstanding common stock. Shares repurchased under the program are retired, and the excess purchase price over the par value is recorded to additional paid-in capital.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, Liabilities — Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations. The objective of ASU 2022-04 is to require entities to disclose information about the use of supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services. ASU 2022-04 is effective for all entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2022-04 but expects the impact to be immaterial to KDP’s current consolidated financial statement disclosures.

IMPAIRMENT TESTING
KDP conducts impairment tests on goodwill and all indefinite lived intangible assets annually on October 1, or more frequently if circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company performed an analysis as of September 30, 2022 to evaluate whether any triggering events occurred during the quarter. Management identified specific performance and margin challenges for Bai, an indefinite lived brand asset, and performed a Step 1 quantitative discounted cash flow analysis using the income approach. As a result of this analysis, KDP recorded an impairment charge of $311 million in the Packaged Beverages segment for the Bai brand in the third quarter of 2022. No other triggering events impacting goodwill or indefinite lived intangible assets were identified during the period.
4. Derivatives
KDP is exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in interest rates, commodity prices, and FX rates. KDP manages these risks through a variety of strategies, including the use of interest rate contracts, FX forward contracts, commodity forward, future, swap and option contracts and supplier pricing agreements. KDP does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
KDP formally designates and accounts for certain foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate contracts that meet established accounting criteria under U.S. GAAP as cash flow hedges. For such contracts, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instruments is recorded, net of applicable taxes, in AOCI. When net income is affected by the variability of the underlying transaction, the applicable offsetting amount of the gain or loss from the derivative instrument deferred in AOCI is reclassified to net income. Cash flows from derivative instruments designated in a qualifying hedging relationship are classified in the same category as the cash flows from the hedged items. If a cash flow hedge were to cease to qualify for hedge accounting, or were terminated, the derivatives would continue to be carried on the balance sheet at fair value until settled, and hedge accounting would be discontinued prospectively. If the underlying hedged transaction ceases to exist, any associated amounts reported in AOCI would be reclassified to earnings at that time.
For derivatives that are not designated or for which the designated hedging relationship is discontinued, the gain or loss on the instrument is recognized in earnings in the period of change.
The Company has exposure to credit losses from derivative instruments in an asset position in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the agreements. Historically, the Company has not experienced material credit losses as a result of counterparty nonperformance. The Company selects and periodically reviews counterparties based on credit ratings, limits its exposure to a single counterparty under defined guidelines and monitors the market position of the programs upon execution of a hedging transaction and at least on a quarterly basis.
INTEREST RATES 
Economic Hedges
KDP is exposed to interest rate risk related to its borrowing arrangements and obligations. The Company enters into interest rate contracts to provide predictability in the Company's overall cost structure and to manage the balance of fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. KDP primarily enters into receive-fixed, pay-variable and receive-variable, pay-fixed swaps and swaption contracts. A natural hedging relationship exists in which changes in the fair value of the instruments act as an economic offset to changes in the fair value of the underlying items. Changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded in earnings throughout the term of the derivative instrument and are reported in interest expense in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. As of September 30, 2022, economic interest rate derivative instruments have maturities ranging from January 2027 to April 2032.
Additionally, during the quarter ended June 30, 2022, KDP entered into reverse treasury lock contracts in order to manage the interest rate risk related to changes in value of the tender offers in the 2022 Strategic Refinancing prior to the pricing date. These contracts terminated during the quarter ended June 30, 2022, and the realized losses associated with these contracts are reported in loss on early extinguishment of debt in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Cash Flow Hedges
In order to hedge the variability in cash flows from interest rate changes associated with the Company’s planned future issuances of long-term debt, during the first quarter of 2021, the Company entered into forward starting swaps and designated them as cash flow hedges.
In April 2022, concurrently with the 2022 Strategic Refinancing, KDP terminated $1.5 billion of notional amount of the forward starting swaps. Upon termination, KDP received $125 million to settle the contracts with the counterparties, which will be amortized to interest expense over the respective terms of the issued Notes.

KEURIG DR PEPPER INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED, CONTINUED)
On September 30, 2022, KDP de-designated $500 million of notional amount of the forward starting swaps. As the forecasted debt transaction is still probable to occur, the fair value of the these instruments as of September 30, 2022 was recorded in AOCI. Changes in fair value of the these instruments from the point of de-designation will be recorded as unrealized gains or losses in interest expense in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. As of September 30, 2022, the remaining forward starting swaps designated as cash flow hedges have a mandatory termination date in May 2025.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE
KDP is exposed to foreign exchange risk in its international subsidiaries, which may transact in currencies that are different from the functional currencies of those subsidiaries. The balance sheets of each of these businesses are also subject to exposure from movements in exchange rates.
Economic Hedges
KDP holds FX forward contracts to economically manage the balance sheet exposures resulting from changes in the FX exchange rates described above. The intent of these FX contracts is to minimize the impact of FX risk associated with balance sheet positions not in local currency. In these cases, a hedging relationship exists in which changes in the fair value of the instruments act as an economic offset to changes in the fair value of the underlying items. Changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded in earnings throughout the term of the derivative instrument and are reported in the same caption of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as the associated risk. As of September 30, 2022, these FX contracts have maturities ranging from October 2022 to September 2024.
Cash Flow Hedges
KDP designates certain FX forward contracts as cash flow hedges in order to manage the exposures resulting from changes in the FX rates described above. These designated FX forward contracts relate to either forecasted inventory purchases in U.S. dollars of the Canadian and Mexican businesses or forecasted capital expenditures of certain equipment in euros for KDP’s U.S. manufacturing facilities. The intent of these FX contracts is to provide predictability in the Company's overall cost structure. As of September 30, 2022, these FX contracts have maturities ranging from October 2022 to October 2024.
COMMODITIES
Economic Hedges
KDP centrally manages the exposure to volatility in the prices of certain commodities used in its production process and transportation through various derivative contracts. The Company generally holds some combination of future, swap and option contracts that economically hedge certain of its risks. In these cases, a hedging relationship exists in which changes in the fair value of the instruments act as an economic offset to changes in the fair value of the underlying items or as an offset to certain costs of production. Changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded in earnings throughout the term of the derivative instrument and are reported in the same line item of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as the hedged transaction. Unrealized gains and losses are recognized as a component of unallocated corporate costs until the Company's operating segments are affected by the completion of the underlying transaction, at which time the gain or loss is reflected as a component of the respective segment's income from operations. As of September 30, 2022, these commodity contracts have maturities ranging from October 2022 to February 2024.

(1)Notional value for commodity contracts is calculated as the expected volume times strike price per unit on a gross basis.
FAIR VALUE OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The fair values of commodity contracts, interest rate contracts and FX forward contracts are determined based on inputs that are readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets. The fair value of commodity contracts are valued using the market approach based on observable market transactions, primarily underlying commodities futures or physical index prices, at the reporting date. Interest rate contracts are valued using models based primarily on readily observable market parameters, such as LIBOR or SOFR forward rates, for all substantial terms of the Company's contracts and credit risk of the counterparties. The fair value of FX forward contracts are valued using quoted forward FX prices at the reporting date. Therefore, the Company has categorized these contracts as Level 2.

6. Segments
The Company's reportable segments consist of the following:
The Coffee Systems segment reflects sales in the U.S. and Canada of the manufacture and distribution of finished goods relating to the Company's single-serve brewers, K-Cup pods and other coffee products.
The Packaged Beverages segment reflects sales in the U.S. and Canada from the manufacture and distribution of finished beverages and other products, including sales of the Company's own brands and third-party brands, through both the DSD and WD systems. DSD and WD have both been identified as operating segments that the Company aggregated into Packaged Beverages due to similar economic characteristics and similarities in the nature of finished goods sales and route-to-markets.
The Beverage Concentrates segment reflects sales of the Company's branded concentrates and syrup to third-party bottlers primarily in the U.S. and Canada. Most of the brands in this segment are carbonated soft drink brands. Our FFS operating segment is aggregated with our Branded Concentrates operating segment into our Beverage Concentrates reportable segment due to similar economic characteristics and similarities in the nature of the product sold.
The Latin America Beverages segment reflects sales primarily in Mexico and the Caribbean from the manufacture and distribution of concentrates, syrup and finished beverages.
Segment results are based on management reports. Net sales and income from operations are the significant financial measures used to assess the operating performance of the Company's operating segments. Intersegment sales are recorded at cost and are eliminated in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. “Unallocated corporate costs” are excluded from the Company's measurement of segment performance and include unrealized commodity derivative gains and losses, and certain general corporate expenses.
Effective January 1, 2022, the Company updated its presentation of certain of KDP's corporate costs, primarily related to IT, to be aligned among the Company's segments and to more consistently reflect controllable costs at the segment level. The prior period segment disclosures reflect the revised presentation.

9. Restructuring and Integration Costs
The Company implements restructuring programs from time to time and incurs costs that are designed to improve operating effectiveness and lower costs. When the Company implements these programs, the Company incurs expenses, such as employee separations, lease terminations and other direct exit costs, that qualify as exit and disposal costs under U.S. GAAP.
The Company also incurs expenses that are an integral component of, and directly attributable to, its restructuring activities, which do not qualify as exit and disposal costs, such as accelerated depreciation, asset impairments, implementation costs and other incremental costs. These costs are primarily recorded within SG&A expenses on the income statement and are held primarily within unallocated corporate costs.
DPS INTEGRATION PROGRAM
As part of the DPS Merger, the Company developed a program to deliver $600 million in synergies over a three-year period through supply chain optimization, reduction of indirect spend through new economies of scale, elimination of duplicative support functions and advertising and promotion optimization. Although the program was initially expected to be completed in 2021, as a result of delays due to COVID-19, KDP will continue to recognize expenditures for certain initiatives which began during the integration period and are expected to be completed in 2022. The restructuring and integration program resulted in cumulative pre-tax charges of approximately $881 million, primarily consisting of professional fees related to the integration and transformation and costs associated with severance and employee terminations, through September 30, 2022. Restructuring and integration charges on the DPS Integration Program were as follows:

10. Revenue Recognition
KDP recognizes revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied. Branded product sales, which include CSDs, NCBs, K-Cup pods and appliances, occur once control is transferred upon delivery to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration that KDP expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods. The amount of consideration KDP receives and revenue KDP recognizes varies with changes in customer incentives that KDP offers to its customers and their customers. Sales taxes and other similar taxes are excluded from revenue. Costs associated with shipping and handling activities, such as merchandising, are included in SG&A expenses as revenue is recognized.

TRACTOR INVESTMENT
In May 2022, the Company invested $44 million in exchange for equity interests in Tractor. The Company also issued a $6 million convertible note to Tractor with an annual interest rate of LIBOR + 5% and a term of six months. The convertible note was converted into equity interests during the second quarter of 2022, increasing the Company’s total ownership in Tractor to 19.2%.
BEDFORD INVESTMENT
In December 2021, Bedford began procedures to wind down the company. As part of the wind down procedures, KDP and ABI agreed to together fund a $68 million credit agreement to Bedford. KDP will fund 30% of this loan, in line with the Company’s ownership percentage in Bedford. Approximately $14 million of the Company’s responsibility under this credit agreement has been funded through September 30, 2022. The Company recorded no impairment losses related to this credit agreement in the third quarter of 2022 and $12 million in the first nine months of 2022.
BODYARMOR INVESTMENT
In January 2022, KDP agreed to a $350 million payment from BodyArmor for a full settlement of all of the claims under the litigation against BodyArmor and in complete satisfaction of the holdback amount owed to ABC in association with the sale of ABC’s equity interest in BodyArmor in 2021. ABC received the settlement payment in January 2022 and the lawsuit was dismissed.
The Company allocated approximately $300 million of the settlement for resolution of the prior litigation, of which $299 million was recorded to Gain on litigation settlement and $1 million was applied against outstanding receivables from BodyArmor. Approximately $28 million of the $299 million gain on litigation settlement was held in unallocated corporate costs as a recovery of legal fees incurred during the litigation process, with the remaining $271 million of the $299 million recorded to our Packaged Beverages segment.
Approximately $50 million of the $350 million payment was allocated to the settlement of the holdback liability, which was recorded to Gain on the sale of our equity method investment.

ACCOUNTS PAYABLE
KDP has agreements with third party administrators which allow participating suppliers to track payments from KDP, and if voluntarily elected by the supplier, to sell payment obligations from KDP to financial institutions. Suppliers can sell one or more of KDP's payment obligations at their sole discretion and the rights and obligations of KDP to its suppliers are not impacted. KDP has no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to enter into these agreements and no direct financial relationship through this program with the financial institutions. KDP's obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment terms, are not impacted. KDP has been informed by the third party administrators that as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $3,923 million and $3,194 million, respectively, of KDP's outstanding payment obligations were voluntarily elected by the supplier and sold to financial institutions.
15. Commitments and Contingencies
KDP is occasionally subject to litigation or other legal proceedings. Reserves are recorded for specific legal proceedings when the Company determines that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had litigation reserves of $10 million and $14 million, respectively. KDP has also identified certain other legal matters where we believe an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and/or for which no estimate of possible losses can be made. The Company does not believe that the outcome of these, or any other, pending legal matters, individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, financial condition or liquidity of KDP.
ANTITRUST LITIGATION
In February 2014, TreeHouse Foods, Inc. and certain affiliated entities filed suit against KDP’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Keurig, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (“SDNY”) (TreeHouse Foods, Inc. et al. v. Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. et al.). The TreeHouse complaint asserted claims under the federal antitrust laws and various state laws, contending that Keurig had monopolized alleged markets for single serve coffee brewers and single serve coffee pods. The TreeHouse complaint sought treble monetary damages, declaratory relief, injunctive relief and attorneys’ fees. In March 2014, JBR, Inc. filed suit against Keurig in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California (JBR, Inc. v. Keurig Green Mountain, Inc.). The claims asserted and relief sought in the JBR complaint were substantially similar to the claims asserted and relief sought in the TreeHouse complaint.

(UNAUDITED, CONTINUED)
Beginning in 2014, a number of putative class actions asserting similar claims and seeking similar relief to the matters described above were filed on behalf of purported direct purchasers of Keurig’s products in various federal district courts. In June 2014, these various actions, including the TreeHouse and JBR suits, were transferred to a single judicial district for coordinated pre-trial proceedings (the “Multidistrict Antitrust Litigation”). A consolidated putative class action complaint by direct purchaser plaintiffs was filed in July 2014. In January 2019, McLane Company, Inc. filed suit against Keurig (McLane Company, Inc. v. Keurig Green Mountain, Inc.) in the SDNY asserting similar claims and was also transferred into the Multidistrict Antitrust Litigation. These actions are now pending in the SDNY (In re: Keurig Green Mountain Single-Serve Coffee Antitrust Litigation). Discovery in the Multidistrict Antitrust Litigation concluded in 2021, with plaintiffs collectively claiming more than $5 billion of monetary damages. Keurig strongly disputes the merits of the claims and the calculation of damages. As a result, Keurig has fully briefed a summary judgment motion that, if successful, would end the cases entirely. Keurig has also fully briefed other significant motions, including challenges to the validity of plaintiffs’ damages calculations. Keurig is also pursuing its opposition to direct purchaser plaintiffs’ motion for class certification.
In July 2021, BJ’s Wholesale Club, Inc. filed suit against Keurig (BJ’s Wholesale Club, Inc. v. Keurig Green Mountain, Inc.) in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York (“EDNY”) asserting similar claims and also was transferred into the Multidistrict Antitrust Litigation. In August 2021, Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc. and Bi-Lo Holding LLC filed suit against Keurig (Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc. et al. v. Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. et al.) in the EDNY asserting similar claims and was also transferred into the Multidistrict Antitrust Litigation. These cases remain in the early stages of discovery.
A number of putative class actions asserting similar claims and seeking similar relief were previously filed on behalf of purported indirect purchasers of Keurig’s products. In July 2020, Keurig reached an agreement with the putative indirect purchaser class plaintiffs in the Multidistrict Antitrust Litigation to settle the claims asserted for $31 million. The settlement class consists of individuals and entities in the United States that purchased, from persons other than Keurig and not for purposes of resale, Keurig manufactured or licensed single serve beverage portion packs during the applicable class period (beginning in September 2010 for most states). The court granted preliminary approval of the settlement in December 2020, and the Company paid the settlement amount in January 2021. In June 2021, the Court granted final approval of the settlement, entered final judgment, and dismissed the indirect purchasers’ claims.
Separate from the U.S. actions described above, a statement of claim was filed in September 2014 against Keurig and Keurig Canada Inc. in Ontario, Canada, by Club Coffee L.P., a Canadian manufacturer of single serve beverage pods, asserting a breach of competition law and false and misleading statements by Keurig. To date, this plaintiff has not taken substantive action to prosecute its claims.
KDP intends to vigorously defend the remaining lawsuits described above. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of these lawsuits, the potential loss or range of loss, if any, associated with the resolution of these lawsuits or any potential effect they may have on the Company or its operations. Accordingly, the Company has not accrued for a loss contingency. Additionally, as the timelines in these cases may be beyond our control, we cannot assure you if or when there will be material developments in these matters.
PROPOSITION 65 LITIGATION
In May 2011, CERT filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, (Council for Education and Research on Toxics v. Brad Barry LLC, et al., Case No. BC461182), alleging that Keurig, and certain other defendants who manufacture, package, distribute or sell coffee, failed to warn persons in California that Keurig's coffee products expose persons to the chemical acrylamide in violation of Proposition 65.
Keurig, as part of a joint defense group organized to defend against the lawsuit, disputed CERT's claims and asserted multiple affirmative defenses. The case was scheduled to proceed to a third phase for trial on damages, remedies and attorneys' fees, but such trial did not occur in light of California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment proposal of a new Proposition 65 regulation clarifying that cancer warnings are not required for chemicals, such as acrylamide, that are present in coffee as a result of roasting coffee beans. After the regulation took effect in October 2019, the litigation continued based on, among other items, CERT’s contentions that the regulation is legally invalid and, alternatively, cannot be applied to its pending claims. In August 2020, the court granted the defendants' motion for summary judgment, effectively ending CERT's Proposition 65 litigation at the trial court level. CERT appealed the trial court’s ruling, and the California Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court’s ruling in October 2022. The Company believes that the likelihood that it will incur a material loss in connection with the CERT litigation is remote and accordingly, no loss contingency has been recorded.

16. Transactions with Variable Interest Entities
The Company has a number of leasing arrangements and one licensing arrangement with special purpose entities associated with the same sponsor, which are referred to as the Veyron SPEs. The Veyron SPEs are VIEs for which KDP is not the primary beneficiary.
LEASING ARRANGEMENTS
As of September 30, 2022, the Company has entered into twelve lease transactions with the Veyron SPEs, eleven of which were associated with asset sale-leaseback transactions. Refer to Note 5 for additional information about the current period asset sale-leaseback transactions. Each lease has a RVG based on a percentage of Veyron SPEs’s purchase price; however, the Company concluded it was not probable that the Company will owe an amount at the end of each individual lease term, as the fair values of the properties are not expected to fall below the RVGs at the end of each individual lease term. As such, the Company recorded each lease obligation excluding the associated RVG. The aggregate maximum undiscounted RVG associated with the leasing arrangements as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $602 million and $549 million, respectively. This aggregate maximum value assumes that the fair value of each property at the end of either the original lease term or renewal term is equal to zero, which the Company has concluded is not probable.
The following table provides the carrying amounts of the right-to-use assets and lease obligations recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets associated with these leasing arrangements related to the VIEs as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

(2)The leasing agreements included as of December 31, 2021 include seven manufacturing sites, two distribution centers and our Frisco, Texas headquarters.
LICENSING ARRANGEMENT
ABC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of KDP, has provided a guarantee in connection with its distribution agreement with the Veyron SPEs to be paid only in the event the Veyron SPEs sell specific distribution rights and the value of those distribution rights does not exceed $142 million, which is the maximum undiscounted amount that KDP could pay under the guarantee. All obligations with respect to the guarantee will cease upon termination of the distribution agreement, which would occur upon notice by ABC not to renew the distribution agreement, KDP no longer being investment grade at the end of the term, or the sale of the distribution rights by the Veyron SPEs. As of September 30, 2022, KDP has not recorded a liability as it is not probable that the Company will have to make any payments required under the residual value guarantee, as the fair value of the distribution rights is not expected to fall below $142 million over the term of the agreement.
As of September 30, 2022, KDP had $102 million in fixed service fee commitments related to the 15-year distribution agreement which was effective on December 28, 2020, with Veyron SPEs. These commitments were used to assist the Veyron SPEs in obtaining financing. Such fixed service fee payments began on January 1, 2021.
Fixed service fees over the next five years are expected to be as follows:

Uncertainties and Trends Affecting Our Business
We believe the North American beverage market is influenced by certain key trends and uncertainties. Refer to Item 1A, "Risk Factors", of our Annual Report, for more information about risks and uncertainties facing us.
Some of these items, such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, and the resulting impacts on the global economy, including supply chain constraints and labor shortages, have led to inflation in input costs, logistics, manufacturing and labor costs. During the first nine months of 2022, we have experienced supply chain disruptions and a significant inflationary impact compared to the prior year period. These impacts have created headwinds for our products that we expect to continue through the remainder of the year.
As a result of these inflationary pressures, we have increased the pricing on a number of our products across our portfolio. Consequently, we may incur a reduction of volume or net sales, which, combined with the inflationary pressures, could impact our margins and operating results.
Refer to Note 4 of the Notes to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for our discussion of how we manage our exposure to commodity risk.
Impact of COVID-19 on our Financial Statements
The following table sets forth our reconciliation of significant COVID-19-related expenses. Employee compensation expense and employee protection costs, which impact our SG&A expenses and cost of sales, are included as the COVID-19 item affecting comparability and are excluded in our Adjusted financial measures. In addition, reported amounts under U.S. GAAP also include additional costs, not included as the COVID-19 item affecting comparability, as presented in tables below.

Net Sales. Net sales increased $372 million, or 11.4%, to $3,622 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $3,250 million in the prior year period. This performance reflected favorable net price realization across all segments totaling 12.1%, primarily driven by price increases, slightly offset by unfavorable FX translation of 0.4% and unfavorable volume/mix of 0.3%.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $66 million, or 3.6%, to $1,901 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $1,835 million in the prior year period. This performance primarily reflected the strong growth in net sales, partially offset by the impacts of broad-based inflation and an unfavorable change in unrealized commodity mark-to-market expense. Gross margin decreased 400 bps versus the year ago period to 52.5%.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. SG&A expenses increased $156 million, or 15.0%, to $1,196 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $1,040 million in the prior year period. The increase was driven by the impact of broad-based inflation, an unfavorable change in unrealized commodity mark-to-market impacts, increased marketing and other operating costs.
Impairment of Intangible Assets. Impairment of intangible assets reflected a non-cash impairment charge of $311 million in the third quarter of 2022 associated with Bai, an indefinite lived brand asset. Refer to Note 3 of the Notes to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Income from Operations. Income from operations decreased $401 million, or 50.4%, to $394 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $795 million in the prior year period, primarily driven by the impairment of Bai of $311 million and increased SG&A expenses.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $91 million, or 78.4%, to $207 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared with $116 million in the prior year period. This change was primarily driven by unfavorable unrealized mark-to-market losses of $113 million on interest rate contracts, which were partially offset by the favorable comparison to realized gains on certain interest rate contracts and our strategic refinancing initiatives.
Effective Tax Rate. The effective tax rate was 2.2% for the third quarter of 2022, compared to 22.0% in the prior year period, primarily driven by the revaluation of state deferred tax liabilities due to state legislative changes.
Net Income Attributable to KDP. Net income decreased $350 million, or 66.0%, to $180 million for the third quarter of 2022 as compared to $530 million in the prior year period, driven by lower income from operations and increased interest expense, partially offset by the decrease in our effective tax rate.
Diluted EPS. Diluted EPS decreased 64.9% to $0.13 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2022 as compared to $0.37 in the prior year period.

Net Sales. Net sales increased $962 million, or 10.4%, to $10,254 million for the first nine months of 2022 compared to $9,292 million in the prior year period. This performance reflected favorable net price realization across all segments totaling 9.7% and volume/mix growth of 0.9%, as expected reductions driven by our coffee recovery program during the first quarter of 2022 moderated volume gains in our other segments. These benefits were slightly offset by unfavorable FX translation of 0.2%.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $122 million, or 2.3%, to $5,327 million for the first nine months of 2022 compared to $5,205 million in the prior year period. This performance primarily reflected the strong growth in net sales and the benefit of productivity, partially offset by broad-based inflation and an unfavorable change in unrealized commodity mark-to-market impacts. Gross margin decreased 400 bps versus the year ago period to 52.0%.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. SG&A expenses increased $378 million, or 12.4%, to $3,418 million for the first nine months of 2022 compared to $3,040 million in the prior year period. The increase was driven by higher logistics costs and increases in other operating expenses.
Impairment of Intangible Assets. Impairment of intangible assets reflected a non-cash impairment charge of $311 million associated with Bai, an indefinite lived brand asset. Refer to Note 3 of the Notes to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Gain on litigation settlement. Gain on litigation settlement reflects the portion of the settlement payment from BodyArmor which was allocated to the gain on the full settlement of the existing claims against BodyArmor in the second quarter of 2022. Refer to Note 12 of the Notes to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Other Operating Income, net. Other operating income, net increased $31 million for the first nine months of 2022 compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by a $38 million gain on an asset sale-leaseback transaction related to our strategic asset investment program in the first quarter of 2022.
Income from Operations. Income from operations decreased $237 million, or 10.9%, to $1,932 million for the first nine months of 2022 compared to $2,169 million in the prior year period, primarily driven by the non-cash impairment of Bai of $311 million, which was partially offset by the gain on the litigation settlement. Other factors include higher SG&A expenses, partially offset by increased gross profit. Operating margin decreased 450 bps versus the year ago period to 18.8%.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $189 million, or 49.6%, to $570 million for the first nine months of 2022 compared to $381 million for the prior year period. This change was primarily driven by the unfavorable comparison of unrealized mark-to-market losses of $254 million on interest rate contracts, which was partially offset by reduced interest expense on our senior unsecured notes as a result of our strategic refinancing initiatives.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt. Loss on early extinguishment of debt reflected an unfavorable change of $112 million, with a loss of $217 million during the first nine months of 2022 related to our 2022 Strategic Refinancing and our early retirement of our 2038 Notes, the 2021 364-Day Credit Agreement and the KDP Revolver, as compared to a loss of $105 million in the prior year period associated with our 2021 strategic refinancing.
Gain on sale of equity method investment. Gain on sale of equity method investment reflects the portion of the settlement payment from BodyArmor which was allocated to the satisfaction of the holdback amount owed to us in association with the sale of our equity interest in BodyArmor in 2021. Refer to Note 12 of the Notes to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Impairment of Investments and Note Receivable. Impairment on investments and note receivable reflected a non-cash impairment charge of $12 million in the first nine months of 2022 associated with the wind-down of Bedford. Refer to Note 12 of the Notes to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Effective Tax Rate. The effective tax rate decreased 750 bps to 15.4% for the first nine months of 2022, compared to 22.9% in the prior year period, primarily driven by the revaluation of state deferred tax liabilities due to state legislative changes and the favorable mix of our incremental income in low tax jurisdictions in the current period, partially offset by the unfavorable comparison to the excess tax deductions that were generated from the vesting of RSUs during the first nine months of 2021.
Net Income Attributable to KDP. Net income attributable to KDP decreased $320 million, or 24.6%, to $983 million for the first nine months of 2022 as compared to $1,303 million in the prior year period, primarily driven by lower income from operations, increased interest expense, and the unfavorable change in loss on early extinguishment of debt, partially offset by the decrease in our effective tax rate.
Diluted EPS. Diluted EPS decreased 24.2% to $0.69 per diluted share as compared to $0.91 in the prior year period.

Sales Volume. K-Cup pod volume increased 0.9% for the first nine months of 2022 compared to the prior year period, as the segment was implementing its coffee recovery program to increase pod manufacturing output and rebuild finished goods inventories to satisfy strong consumer demand and restore customer service levels. Brewer volume decreased 8.9% in the first nine months of 2022, driven by the unfavorable comparison to significant brewer shipment growth of 22.5% in the prior year period.
Net Sales. Net sales increased 2.9% to $3,497 million for the first nine months of 2022 compared to $3,398 million in the prior year period, driven by favorable net price realization of 5.6%, partially offset by volume/mix declines of 2.3% and unfavorable FX translation effects of 0.4%.
Income from Operations. Income from operations decreased $210 million, or 19.3%, to $878 million for the first nine months of 2022, compared to $1,088 million in the prior year period, as a result of broad-based inflation, particularly in green coffee, lower volume/mix, unfavorable mark-to-market impacts and increased costs associated with productivity projects. These decreases were partially offset by the benefits of pricing actions and productivity. Operating margin declined 690 bps versus the year ago period to 25.1% due to these inflationary headwinds.

Sales Volume. Sales volume for the first nine months of 2022 increased 1.1% compared to the prior year period, due primarily to strength in CSDs, Motts, Core, Polar and Hawaiian Punch, which were partially offset by reductions in contract manufacturing and Bai.
Net Sales. Net sales increased 13.2% to $4,925 million in the first nine months of 2022, compared to $4,352 million in the prior year period, driven by favorable net price realization of 11.1% and volume/mix growth of 2.1%.
Income from Operations. Income from operations decreased $3 million, or 0.4%, to $728 million for the first nine months of 2022 compared to $731 million for the prior year period, primarily driven by the $311 million non-cash impairment charge for Bai, which was partially offset by the gain on the settlement of litigation with BodyArmor of $271 million. Other drivers included the benefits of net sales growth, asset sale-leaseback activity in the first nine months of 2022 relating to our strategic asset initiative, and productivity, partially offset by broad-based inflation and higher costs to serve the ongoing strong consumer demand.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we have presented for certain constant currency adjusted or adjusted financial measures for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 and 2021, which are considered non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures provided should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures presented may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies, and other companies may not define these non-GAAP financial measures in the same way. The non-GAAP financial measures are not substitutes for their comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, such as income from operations, net income, diluted EPS or other measures prescribed by U.S. GAAP, and there are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures. We use these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to U.S. 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 these non-GAAP financial measures in making operational and financial decisions and in our budgeting and planning process. We believe that providing these 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 and consistent with guidance previously provided by us. The non-GAAP measures are defined as follows:
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) non-cash changes in deferred tax liabilities related to goodwill and other intangible assets as a result of tax rate or apportionment changes; and (vii) other certain items that are excluded for comparison purposes to prior year periods.
For the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, the other certain items excluded for comparison purposes include (i) restructuring and integration expenses related to significant business combinations; (ii) productivity expenses; (iii) costs related to significant non-routine legal matters; (iv) the loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the redemption of debt; (v) incremental costs to our operations related to risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic; (vi) the gain on the sale of our investment in BodyArmor as a result of the settlement of the associated holdback liability; (vii) the gain on the settlement of our prior litigation with BodyArmor, excluding recoveries of previously incurred litigation expenses which were included in our adjusted results; (viii) losses recognized with respect to our equity method investment in Bedford as a result of funding our share of their wind-down costs; (ix) transaction costs for significant business combinations (completed or abandoned) excluding the DPS Merger; (x) foundational projects, which are transformative and non-recurring in nature; and (xi) impairment recognized on the Bai brand.
For the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, the other certain items excluded for comparison purposes include (i) restructuring and integration expenses related to significant business combinations; (ii) productivity expenses; (iii) costs related to significant non-routine legal matters; (iv) the loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the redemption of debt; (v) incremental costs to our operations related to risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic; and (vi) gains from insurance recoveries related to the February 2019 organized malware attack on our business operation networks in the Coffee Systems segment.
Costs related to significant non-routine legal matters relate to the antitrust litigation. Incremental costs to our operations related to risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic include incremental expenses incurred to either maintain the health and safety of our front-line employees or temporarily increase compensation to such employees to ensure essential operations continue during the pandemic. We believe removing these costs reflects how management views our business results on a consistent basis. See Impact of COVID-19 on our Financial Statements for further information.
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 2022 and 2021, 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.

CONSTANT CURRENCY ADJUSTED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Third Quarter of 2022 Compared to Third Quarter of 2021
The following discussion of our results for the third quarter of 2022 is presented on a constant currency adjusted basis. These adjusted financial results are calculated on a constant currency basis by converting our current-period local currency financial results using the prior-period foreign currency exchange rates.
Consolidated Operations
Constant Currency Net Sales. Constant currency net sales increased 11.8% in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the prior year period, driven by favorable net price realization of 12.1%, partially offset by decreased volume/mix of 0.3%.
Constant Currency Adjusted Income from Operations. Constant currency adjusted income from operations increased 2.0% compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by strong growth in net sales and the benefit of productivity, partially offset by the impact of broad-based inflation, increases in other operating costs and higher marketing expense.
Constant Currency Adjusted Interest Expense. Constant currency adjusted interest expense decreased 19.1% compared to the prior year period, driven by the favorable comparison to realized gains on certain interest rate contracts.
Constant Currency Adjusted Effective Tax Rate. The constant currency adjusted effective tax rate was relatively flat, with a rate of 23.1% for the third quarter of 2022 compared to 23.2% for the prior year period.
Constant Currency Adjusted Net Income Attributable to KDP. Constant currency adjusted net income attributable to KDP increased 4.3% compared to the prior year period, driven primarily by the impacts of lower interest expense and increased income from operations.
Constant Currency Adjusted Diluted EPS. Constant currency adjusted diluted EPS increased 4.5% in the current period.

CONSTANT CURRENCY ADJUSTED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
First Nine Months of 2022 Compared to First Nine Months of 2021
The following discussion of our results for the first nine months of 2022 is presented on a constant currency adjusted basis. These adjusted financial results are calculated on a constant currency basis by converting our current-period local currency financial results using the prior-period foreign currency exchange rates
Consolidated Operations
Constant Currency Net Sales. Constant currency net sales increased 10.6% in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the prior year period, driven by favorable net price realization of 9.7% and volume/mix growth of 0.9%.
Constant Currency Adjusted Income from Operations. Constant currency adjusted income from operations increased 0.2% compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by the strong growth in net sales, the benefit of productivity and a $38 million gain on an asset sale-leaseback transaction related to our strategic asset investment program. These benefits were almost entirely offset by the impact of broad-based inflation and increases in other operating costs.
Constant Currency Adjusted Interest Expense. Constant currency adjusted interest expense decreased 16.6% compared to the prior year period, driven by reduced interest expense on our senior unsecured notes as a result of our strategic refinancing initiatives.
Constant Currency Adjusted Effective Tax Rate. The constant currency adjusted effective tax rate was 22.9% for the first nine months of 2022 compared to 23.7% for the prior year period, primarily driven by our incremental income in low tax jurisdictions during the first nine months of 2022.
Constant Currency Adjusted Net Income Attributable to KDP. Constant currency adjusted net income attributable to KDP increased 3.0% compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by lower interest expense and the decrease in our effective tax rate.
Constant Currency Adjusted Diluted EPS. Constant currency adjusted diluted EPS increased approximately 2.6% over the prior year period.

Results of Operations by Segment
COFFEE SYSTEMS
Constant Currency Net Sales. Constant currency net sales increased 3.3%, driven by higher net price realization of 5.6%, partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix of 2.3%.
Constant Currency Adjusted Income from Operations. Constant currency adjusted income from operations for the first nine months of 2022 decreased 16.2% compared to the prior year period, as a result of broad-based inflation, particularly in green coffee, and lower volume/mix. These decreases were partially offset by the benefits of pricing actions and increased productivity.
PACKAGED BEVERAGES
Constant Currency Net Sales. Constant currency net sales increased 13.2%, reflecting favorable net price realization of 11.1% and volume/mix growth of 2.1%.
Constant Currency Adjusted Income from Operations. Constant currency adjusted income from operations for the first nine months of 2022 increased 2.1% compared to the prior year period, driven by the benefits of net sales growth, increased productivity, and asset sale-leaseback activity in the first nine months of 2022 relating to our strategic asset initiative. These benefits were partially offset by broad-based inflation, higher costs associated with higher volumes and increases in other operating costs.
BEVERAGE CONCENTRATES
Constant Currency Net Sales. Constant currency net sales increased 16.9%, reflecting higher net price realization of 14.8% and volume/mix growth of 2.1%.
Constant Currency Adjusted Income from Operations. Constant currency adjusted income from operations for the first nine months of 2022 increased 17.8% compared to the prior year period. This performance reflected the impact of net sales growth, partially offset by the impacts of broad-based inflation.
LATIN AMERICA BEVERAGES
Constant Currency Net Sales. Constant currency net sales increased 24.8%, driven by favorable net price realization of 14.1% and volume/mix growth of 10.7%.
Constant Currency Adjusted Income from Operations. Constant currency adjusted income from operations for the first nine months of 2022 increased 21.6% compared to the prior year period, driven by the benefits of net sales growth and productivity, partially offset by the impacts of broad-based inflation, higher costs associated with incremental volumes, and increased marketing expense.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The process of preparing our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Critical accounting estimates are both fundamental to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results and require difficult, subjective or complex estimates and assessments. These estimates and judgments are based on historical experience, future expectations and other factors and assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The most significant estimates and judgments are reviewed on an ongoing basis and revised when necessary. These critical accounting estimates are discussed in greater detail in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report.
As of the date of our annual impairment test, performed as of October 1, 2021, certain brands were considered at risk of future impairment in the event of significant unfavorable changes in assumptions including forecasted cash flows along with macro-economic risks such as the continued prolonged weakening of economic conditions and cost inflation or significant unfavorable changes in long-term growth rates and discount rates utilized in the discounted cash flows analyses. Cost inflation for certain inputs could put pressure on achieving cash flow projections and rising interest rates could cause unfavorable changes in the discount rates utilized in the discounted cash flow analyses. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $311 million for Bai, an indefinite lived brand asset. Refer to Note 3 of the Notes to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
We believe our financial condition and liquidity remain strong. We continue to manage all aspects of our business, including, but not limited to, monitoring the financial health of our customers, suppliers and other third-party relationships, implementing gross margin enhancement strategies through our integration and productivity initiatives, and developing new opportunities for growth such as innovation and agreements with partners to distribute brands that are accretive to our portfolio.
The following summarizes our cash activity for the first nine months of 2022 and 2021:
kdp-20220930_g9.jpg
Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents increased $360 million from December 31, 2021 to September 30, 2022 primarily as a result of proceeds from the cash settlement with BodyArmor.
Cash generated by our foreign operations is generally repatriated to the U.S. periodically, as working capital funding requirements in those jurisdictions allow. Foreign cash balances were $435 million and $216 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Additionally, in April 2022, we chose to undertake a strategic refinancing initiative, issuing approximately $3 billion of senior unsecured notes and using the net proceeds to voluntarily prepay and retire several tranches of existing senior unsecured notes with higher interest rates, which reduced our overall interest payments and our annual cash requirements. As part of this transaction, we additionally unwound approximately $1.5 billion of notional amount of our outstanding designated forward starting swaps and received cash proceeds of approximately $125 million. Refer to Note 2 of the Notes to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information about the 2022 strategic refinancing initiative.
Principal Sources of Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity are our existing cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from our operations and borrowing capacity currently available under our 2022 Revolving Credit Agreement. Additionally, we have an uncommitted commercial paper program where we can issue unsecured commercial paper notes on a private placement basis. Based on our current and anticipated level of operations, we believe that our operating cash flows will be sufficient to meet our anticipated obligations for the next twelve months. To the extent that our operating cash flows are not sufficient to meet our liquidity needs, we may utilize cash on hand or amounts available under our financing arrangements, if necessary.
Sources of Liquidity - Operations
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $165 million for the first nine months of 2022, as compared to the first nine months of 2021, driven by the increase in net income adjusted for non-cash items, led by the $349 million gain from BodyArmor, partially offset by a decline in working capital.

Cash conversion cycle(71)(66)
Accounts Payable Program
As part of our ongoing efforts to improve our cash flow and related liquidity, we work with our suppliers to optimize our terms and conditions, which include the extension of payment terms. Excluding our suppliers who require cash at date of purchase or sale, our current payment terms with our suppliers generally range from 10 to 360 days. We also entered into agreements with third party administrators to allow participating suppliers to track payment obligations from us, and if voluntarily elected by the supplier, sell payment obligations from us to financial institutions. Suppliers can sell one or more of our payment obligations at their sole discretion and our rights and obligations to our suppliers are not impacted. We have no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to enter into these agreements and no direct financial relationship through this program with the financial institutions. Our obligations to our suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment terms, are not impacted. We have been informed by the third party administrators that as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $3,923 million and $3,194 million, respectively, of our outstanding payment obligations were voluntarily elected by the supplier and sold to financial institutions. The amounts settled through the program and paid to the financial institutions were $2,830 million and $2,492 million for the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Impact of the CARES Act
Beginning in the second quarter of 2020, we deferred payments of employer-related payroll taxes as allowed under the CARES Act. Payment of at least 50% of the deferred amount was due on January 3, 2022, with the remainder due by January 3, 2023. We deferred a total of $59 million in such payments since the CARES Act was implemented, and we timely paid approximately $30 million as of January 3, 2022.

Sources of Liquidity - Financing
In February 2022, we terminated our 2021 364-Day Credit Agreement and our KDP Revolver and replaced them with the 2022 Revolving Credit Agreement, which provides for a $4 billion revolving credit facility.
In April 2022, we undertook a strategic refinancing and issued a $3 billion aggregate face value of Notes, consisting of the 2029 Notes, the 2032 Notes, and the 2052 Notes. The proceeds from the issuance were used to voluntarily prepay and retire the remaining 2023 Merger Notes and to tender portions of the 2025 Merger Notes, the 2028 Merger Notes, the 2038 Merger Notes, and the 2048 Merger Notes.
kdp-20220930_g10.jpg
Refer to Note 2 of the Notes to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for management's discussion of our financing arrangements.
We also have an active shelf registration statement, filed with the SEC on August 19, 2022, which allows us to issue an indeterminate number or amount of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities and warrants from time to time in one or more offerings at the direction of our Board.
Sources of Liquidity - Asset Sale-Leaseback Transactions
We have leveraged our strategic asset investment program to create value from certain assets to enable reinvestment in KDP. These transactions are accounted for as sale-leaseback transactions. We received $77 million of cash proceeds from our strategic asset investment program during the first nine months of 2022, which are included in Proceeds from sales of property, plant and equipment in the statement of cash flows.
Principal Uses of Capital Resources
Over the past several years, our principal uses of our capital resources were deleveraging, providing shareholder return to our investors through regular quarterly dividends, and investing in KDP to capture market share and drive growth through innovation and routes to market.
Now that we have met our post-merger goals, we plan to invest in inorganic value creation through M&A, including portfolio expansion, distribution scale, geographic expansion, and new capabilities. In addition to M&A, we may consider special dividends to our investors and have repurchased shares of our outstanding common stock, as described below.
Deleveraging and Other Debt Repayments
During the first nine months of 2022, we made net debt repayments of $514 million, which includes the redemption and retirement of the remainder of our 2023 Merger Notes and 2038 Notes, as well as the tender of portions of the 2025 Merger Notes, the 2028 Merger Notes, the 2038 Merger Notes, and the 2048 Merger Notes.
Regular Quarterly Dividends
For the first nine months of 2022, we have declared total dividends of $0.575 per share.
Repurchases of Common Stock
Our Board authorized a four-year share repurchase program of up to $4 billion of our outstanding common stock potentially enabling us to return value to shareholders. We repurchased and retired $88 million of common stock during the first nine months of 2022.

Capital Expenditures
We are investing in state-of-the-art manufacturing and warehousing facilities, including expansive investments in facilities in Newbridge, Ireland; Spartanburg, South Carolina; and Allentown, Pennsylvania, in 2022 and 2021, in order to optimize our supply chain network through integration and productivity projects and to mitigate risk of business interruption.
Purchases of property, plant and equipment were $260 million and $325 million for the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Capital expenditures, which includes both purchases of property, plant and equipment and amounts included in accounts payable and accrued expenses, for the first nine months of 2022 and 2021 primarily related to the manufacturing and warehousing facilities discussed above. Capital expenditures included in accounts payable and accrued expenses were $179 million and $180 million for the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively, which primarily related to these investments.
Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates
From time to time, we expect to acquire businesses or brands, invest in emerging companies, or enter into various licensing and distribution agreements to expand our product portfolio. Our investments in emerging companies generally involve acquiring a minority interest in equity securities of a company with a protected path to ownership at our future option. In the second quarter of 2022, we invested $50 million in Tractor for a 19.2% equity interest.
Purchases of Intangible Assets
We have invested in the expansion of our DSD network through transactions with strategic independent bottlers to ensure competitive distribution scale for our brands. From time to time, we additionally acquire brand ownership companies to expand our portfolio. These transactions are generally accounted for as an asset acquisition, as the majority of the transaction price represents the acquisition of an intangible asset. Purchases of intangible assets were $41 million and $31 million for the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Uncertainties and Trends Affecting Liquidity
Disruptions in global financial and credit markets, including those caused by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, may impact our ability to manage normal commercial relationships with our customers, suppliers and creditors. These disruptions could have a negative impact on the ability of our customers to timely pay their obligations to us, thus reducing our cash flow, or the ability of our vendors to timely supply materials.
Customer and consumer demand for our products may also be impacted by the risk factors discussed under "Risk Factors" in Part 1, Item 1A of our Annual Report, as well as subsequent filings with the SEC, that could have a material effect on production, delivery and consumption of our products, which could result in a reduction in our sales volume.
