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 "second quarter" indicate the Company's quarterly periods ended June 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 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. For shares repurchased and retired under the program, the excess purchase price over the par value is recorded to additional paid-in capital.

IMPAIRMENT TESTING

KDP conducts impairment tests on goodwill and all indefinite lived intangible assets annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company performed an analysis as of June 30, 2022 to ensure that there were no triggering events which occurred during the quarter. As a result of this analysis, management did not identify any indications that the carrying amount of any goodwill or any intangible assets may not be recoverable.

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 June 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. As of June 30, 2022, the remaining forward starting swaps 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 June 30, 2022, these FX contracts have maturities ranging from July 2022 to September 2024.

Cash Flow Hedges

KDP designates certain FX forward contracts related to forecasted inventory purchases of the Canadian and Mexican businesses as cash flow hedges in order to manage the exposures resulting from changes in the FX rates described above. The intent of these FX contracts is to provide predictability in the Company's overall cost structure. As of June 30, 2022, these FX contracts have maturities ranging from July 2022 to October 2023.

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 June 30, 2022, these commodity contracts have maturities ranging from July 2022 to February 2024.

NOTIONAL AMOUNTS OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The following table presents the notional amounts of KDP's outstanding derivative instruments by type:


(in millions)	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Interest rate contracts
Forward starting swaps, designated as cash flow hedges	$	1,000	$	2,500

Receive-fixed, pay-variable interest rate swaps, not designated as hedging instruments	1,900		400

FX contracts
Forward contracts, not designated as hedging instruments	501		463
Forward contracts, designated as cash flow hedges	493		385
Commodity contracts, not designated as hedging instruments	486		529

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.

ASSET SALE-LEASEBACK TRANSACTION

The Company entered into a sale-leaseback transaction with the Veyron SPEs during the first six months of 2022. The following table presents details of the transaction. The gain on the sale-leaseback is recorded in Other operating (income) expense, net, and the leaseback is accounted for as an operating lease.

(1)The sale-leaseback transaction included one manufacturing property and one distribution property.

The initial term of the leaseback is 15 years, with two 10-year renewal options. The renewal options are not reasonably assured as (i) the Company's position that the dynamic environment in which it operates precludes the Company's ability to be reasonably certain of exercising the renewal options in the distant future and (ii) the options are contingent on the Company remaining investment grade and no change-in-control as of the end of the lease term. The leaseback has a RVG. Refer to Note 16 for additional information about the RVG associated with the asset sale-leaseback transaction.

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 $848 million, primarily consisting of professional fees related to the integration and transformation and costs associated with severance and employee terminations, through June 30, 2022. Restructuring and integration charges on the DPS Integration Program were as follows:


	Second Quarter				First Six Months
(in millions)	2022		2021		2022		2021
Restructuring and integration charges	$	22	$	49	$	58	$	92

Restructuring liabilities that qualify as exit and disposal costs under U.S. GAAP are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Restructuring liabilities for the DPS Integration Program, all of which were workforce reduction costs, were as follows for the period presented:

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.

The following table disaggregates KDP's revenue by portfolio:

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 June 30, 2022. The Company recorded impairment losses related to this credit agreement of $6 million and $12 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2022, respectively.

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 June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $3,698 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 June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had litigation reserves of $12 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.

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 has filed its appeal brief, and the Company intends to continue vigorously defending itself in this action. However, 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 June 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 June 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 June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

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 June 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 June 30, 2022, KDP had $104 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:

We offer more than 125 owned, licensed, and partner brands, including the top ten best-selling coffee brands and Dr Pepper as a leading flavored CSD in the U.S., according to IRi, which are available nearly everywhere people shop and consume beverages.

KDP operates as an integrated brand owner, manufacturer and distributor. We believe our integrated business model strengthens our route-to-market and provides opportunities for net sales and profit growth through the alignment of the economic interests of our brand ownership and our manufacturing and distribution businesses through both our DSD and our WD systems. KDP markets and sells its products to retailers, including supermarkets, mass merchandisers, club stores, e-commerce retailers, office superstores, vending machines, grocery and drug stores, and convenience stores; to restaurants, hotel chains, office product and coffee distributors, and partner brand owners; and directly to consumers through its websites. Our integrated business model enables us to be more flexible and responsive to the changing needs of our large retail customers and allows us to more fully leverage our scale and reduce costs by creating greater geographic manufacturing and distribution coverage.

Our 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 our 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 our own brands and third-party brands, through both the DSD and WD systems.

•The Beverage Concentrates segment reflects sales primarily in the U.S. and Canada of our branded concentrates to third-party bottlers and our syrup to fountain foodservice customers. Most of the brands in this segment are carbonated soft drink brands.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Financial Overview - Second Quarter of 2022 as compared to Second Quarter of 2021

As Reported, in millions (except EPS)

As Adjusted, in millions (except EPS)

Key Events During the Second Quarter of 2022

In April 2022, we announced a succession plan where Robert J. Gamgort will transition from his position as President and Chief Executive Officer, remaining as our Executive Chairman of our Board. Our Board appointed Ozan Dokmecioglu, currently Chief Financial Officer & President of International, as the Company's next President and Chief Executive Officer, effective July 29, 2022.

In connection with this leadership transition, George Lagoudakis, currently our Senior Vice President of Finance for Cold Beverages, was appointed to serve as our interim Chief Financial Officer, effective July 29, 2022, while we continue our external search for our permanent Chief Financial Officer.

In April 2022, we chose to undertake a strategic refinancing initiative, reducing our weighted average coupon rate on our Notes from 3.671% at March 31, 2022 to 3.595% after the refinancing. Refer to Note 2 of the Notes to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

During the second quarter of 2022, we repurchased and retired $88 million of common stock.

We were added to the S&P 500 Index, effective prior to the open of trading on June 21, 2022.

During the second quarter, we acquired equity interests in Tractor Beverage and entered into an exclusive sales agreement, which leverages the strength of our fountain foodservice business and expands our FFS portfolio. We also announced an agreement to acquire the global rights to the non-alcoholic, ready-to-drink cocktail brand Atypique, which is expected to close during the second half of 2022.

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 six 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 2022.

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.

Effective tax rate	(2.3)		%	26.9		%			NM

Sales Volume. The following table provides the percentage change in sales volumes for the second quarter of 2022 compared to the prior year period:


	Percentage Change
K-Cup pod volume	4.7	%
Brewer volume	(4.2)
CSD sales volume	2.8
NCB sales volume	3.7

Net Sales. Net sales increased $414 million, or 13.2%, to $3,554 million for the second quarter of 2022 compared to $3,140 million in the prior year period. This performance reflected favorable net price realization of 10.4%, across all segments, and favorable volume/mix of 3.1%, slightly offset by unfavorable FX translation of 0.3%.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $6 million, or 0.3%, to $1,776 million for the second quarter of 2022 compared to $1,770 million in the prior year period. This performance primarily reflected strong growth in net sales, the benefit of productivity, and reduced costs associated with COVID-19. These benefits were partially offset by higher costs driven significantly by broad-based inflation, an unfavorable change in unrealized commodity mark-to-market impacts, and increased costs associated with productivity projects. Gross margin decreased 640 bps versus the year ago period to 50.0%.

Table of Contents

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. SG&A expenses increased $165 million, or 15.9%, to $1,204 million for the second quarter of 2022 compared to $1,039 million in the prior year period. The increase was driven by higher logistics costs, driven by both inflation and product mix, and an unfavorable change in unrealized commodity mark-to-market impacts.

Income from Operations. Income from operations decreased $162 million, or 22.1%, to $572 million for the second quarter of 2022 compared to $734 million in the prior year period, primarily driven by increased SG&A expenses. Operating margin decreased 730 bps versus the year ago period to 16.1%.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $50 million, or 40.0%, to $175 million for the second quarter of 2022 compared with $125 million in the prior year period. This change was primarily driven by unfavorable unrealized mark-to-market losses of $62 million on interest rate contracts and the unfavorable comparison to realized gains on certain interest rate contracts in the prior year period, which was partially offset by reduced interest expense on our senior unsecured notes as a result of deleveraging and our strategic refinancing initiatives.

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt. Loss on early extinguishment of debt reflected a loss of $169 million during the second quarter of 2022 related to our 2022 Strategic Refinancing. There was no loss on early extinguishment of debt during the prior year period.

Impairment of Investments and Note Receivable. Impairment of investments and note receivable reflected an impairment charge of $6 million in the second quarter 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 was (2.3)% for the second quarter of 2022, compared to 26.9% 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 $230 million, or 51.3%, to $218 million for the second quarter of 2022 as compared to $448 million in the prior year period, driven by the loss on early extinguishment of debt, lower income from operations and increased interest expense, partially offset by the decrease in our effective tax rate.

Diluted EPS. Diluted EPS decreased 51.6% to $0.15 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2022 as compared to $0.31 in the prior year period.

Income from operations	315			355			(40)		(11.3)
Operating margin	26.4		%	32.2		%			(580) bps

Sales Volume. K-Cup pod volume grew 4.7% in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 0.2% in the year ago period, driven by the early completion of our coffee recovery program, which enabled us to rebuild retailer and partner inventories and restore customer service levels. Brewer volume decreased 4.2% in the quarter, driven by the unfavorable comparison to significant brewer shipment growth of 29.0% in the year ago period.

Net Sales. Net sales increased 8.5% to $1,195 million for the second quarter of 2022 compared to net sales of $1,101 million in the prior year period, reflecting favorable net price realization of 5.8% and volume/mix growth of 3.3%, driving growth in net sales for both K-cup pods and brewers. These benefits were slightly offset by unfavorable FX translation of 0.6%.

Income from Operations. Income from operations decreased $40 million, or 11.3%, to $315 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $355 million for the prior year period, as a result of broad-based inflation, investments to accelerate coffee recovery, increases in other operating costs, and increased expenses associated with productivity projects, partially offset by the benefits of pricing actions and the benefit of productivity. Operating margin declined 580 bps versus the year ago period to 26.4%.

PACKAGED BEVERAGES

The following table provides selected information about our Packaged Beverages segment's results:


	Second Quarter						Dollar		Percent

Income from operations	232			261			(29)		(11.1)
Operating margin	13.7		%	17.4		%			(370) bps

Sales Volume. Sales volume for the second quarter of 2022 increased 1.0% compared to the prior year period, due primarily to strength in CSDs, Core, Motts, Hawaiian Punch, and Polar, which was partially offset by reductions in contract manufacturing and Bai.

Net Sales. Net sales increased 12.8% to $1,689 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $1,498 million in the prior year period, driven by favorable net price realization of 11.0%, primarily driven by price increases, and volume/mix growth of 1.9%, slightly offset by unfavorable FX translation of 0.1%.

Income from Operations. Income from operations decreased $29 million, or 11.1%, to $232 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $261 million for the prior year period, driven by broad-based inflation, higher costs associated with increased volume and increases in other operating costs, partially offset by the impact of net sales growth and productivity. Operating margin declined 370 bps versus the year ago period to 13.7%.

Sales volume. Sales volume for the second quarter of 2022 increased 3.5% compared to the prior year period, driven primarily by Canada Dry and Dr Pepper, partially offset by Schweppes.

Net Sales. Net sales increased 22.7% to $460 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $375 million for the prior year period, reflecting higher net price realization of 19.2%, largely driven by the favorable comparison to our prior year customer trade accrual, as well as price increases, and volume/mix growth of 3.7%. These benefits were slightly offset by unfavorable FX translation impacts of 0.2%.

Income from Operations. Income from operations increased $69 million, or 27.1%, to $324 million for the second quarter of 2022 compared to $255 million in the prior year period. This performance reflected the impact of net sales growth, partially offset by the impacts of broad-based inflation. Operating margin increased 240 bps versus the year ago period to 70.4% primarily due to the favorable comparison to our prior year customer trade accrual.

	Percentage Change
K-Cup pods	(0.4)	%
Brewers	(4.6)
CSDs	3.3
NCBs	1.9

Net Sales. Net sales increased $590 million, or 9.8%, to $6,632 million for the first six months of 2022 compared to $6,042 million in the prior year period. This performance reflected favorable net price realization of 8.4% across all segments and volume/mix growth of 1.5%, as expected reductions in our Coffee Systems segment during the first quarter of 2022 moderated volume gains in our other segments. These benefits were slightly offset by unfavorable FX translation of 0.1%.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $56 million, or 1.7%, to $3,426 million for the first six months of 2022 compared to $3,370 million in the prior year period. This performance primarily reflected strong growth in net sales, partially offset by higher costs significantly driven by broad-based inflation and an unfavorable change in unrealized commodity mark-to-market impacts. Gross margin decreased 410 bps versus the year ago period to 51.7%.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. SG&A expenses increased $222 million, or 11.1%, to $2,222 million for the first six months of 2022 compared to $2,000 million in the prior year period. The increase was driven by higher logistics costs, driven by both inflation and product mix, and increases in other operating costs. These drivers were partially offset by the impact of a change in our accounting policy related to the recognition of forfeitures for our stock awards of $40 million during the first quarter of 2022.

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. 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 six 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 current period.

Income from Operations. Income from operations increased $164 million, or 11.9%, to $1,538 million for the first six months of 2022 compared to $1,374 million in the prior year period, primarily driven by the gain on the litigation settlement, increased gross profit and the gain related to our strategic asset investment program, partially offset by increased SG&A expenses. Operating margin increased 50 bps versus the year ago period to 23.2%.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $98 million, or 37.0%, to $363 million for the first six months of 2022 compared to $265 million for the prior year period. This change was primarily driven by unfavorable unrealized mark-to-market losses of $141 million on interest rate contracts, which was partially offset by reduced interest expense on our senior unsecured notes as a result of deleveraging and 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 six 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 an impairment charge of $12 million in the first six 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 560 bps to 17.9% for the first six months of 2022, compared to 23.5% 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 the Company’s 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 six months of 2021.

Net Income Attributable to KDP. Net income attributable to KDP increased $30 million, or 3.9%, to $803 million for the first six months of 2022 as compared to $773 million in the prior year period, driven by higher income from operations, the decrease in our effective tax rate in the first six months of 2022 and the gain on the sale of our investment in BodyArmor, partially offset by the unfavorable comparison to the loss on early extinguishment of debt, increased interest expense and the impairment on the investments and note receivable associated with the wind-down of Bedford.

Diluted EPS. Diluted EPS increased 3.7% to $0.56 per diluted share as compared to $0.54 in the prior year period.

COFFEE SYSTEMS

The following table provides selected information about our Coffee Systems segment's results:


	First Six Months						Dollar		Percent
(in millions)	2022			2021			Change		Change
Net sales	$	2,288		$	2,243		$	45	2.0	%
Income from operations	583			723			(140)		(19.4)
Operating margin	25.5		%	32.2		%			(670) bps

Sales Volume. K-Cup pod volume was relatively flat for the first six months of 2022 compared to the prior year period, as gains in volume during the second quarter of 2022 offset negative volume comparisons in the first quarter of 2021, reflecting the early completion of our coffee recovery program, which enabled us to rebuild retailer and partner inventories and restore customer service levels through the first half of the year. Brewer volume decreased 4.6% in the first six months of 2022, driven by the unfavorable comparison to significant brewer shipment growth of 41.3% in the prior year period.

Net Sales. Net sales increased 2.0% to $2,288 million for the first six months of 2022 compared to $2,243 million in the prior year period, driven by favorable net price realization of 4.5%, partially offset by volume/mix declines of 2.2% and unfavorable FX translation effects of 0.3%.

Income from Operations. Income from operations decreased $140 million, or 19.4%, to $583 million for the first six months of 2022, compared to $723 million in the prior year period, as a result of broad-based inflation and lower volume/mix. These decreases were partially offset by the benefits of pricing actions, productivity, and reduced costs related to COVID-19. Operating margin declined 670 bps versus the year ago period to 25.5% due to these inflationary and volume headwinds.

PACKAGED BEVERAGES

The following table provides selected information about our Packaged Beverages segment's results:


	First Six Months						Dollar		Percent
(in millions)	2022			2021			Change		Change
Net sales	$	3,169		$	2,805		$	364	13.0	%
Income from operations	718			440			278		63.2
Operating margin	22.7		%	15.7		%			NM

Sales Volume. Sales volume for the first six months of 2022 increased 2.0% 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 13.0% to $3,169 million in the first six months of 2022, compared to $2,805 million in the prior year period, driven by favorable net price realization of 9.7% and volume/mix growth of 3.3%.

Income from Operations. Income from operations increased $278 million, or 63.2%, to $718 million for the first six months of 2022 compared to $440 million for the prior year period, driven by the benefits of net sales growth, the gain on the settlement of litigation with BodyArmor of $271 million, asset sale-leaseback activity in the first six months of 2022 relating to our strategic asset initiative, and productivity. These increases were partially offset by the increased costs due to the impacts of broad-based inflation and higher costs associated with higher volumes.

BEVERAGE CONCENTRATES

The following table provides selected information about our Beverage Concentrates segment's results:


	First Six Months						Dollar		Percent
(in millions)	2022			2021			Change		Change

Income from operations	568			493			75		15.2
Operating margin	69.4		%	70.1		%			(70) bps

Sales Volume. Sales volume for the first six months of 2022 increased 2.8% compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by Dr Pepper and Canada Dry, partially offset by Crush and Schweppes.

Net Sales. Net sales increased 16.5% to $819 million in the first six months of 2022, compared to $703 million in the prior year period, reflecting higher net price realization of 13.8%, driven by price increases, as well as the favorable comparison to our prior year customer trade accrual, and volume/mix growth of 2.8%, slightly offset by unfavorable FX translation effects of 0.1%.

Income from Operations. Income from operations increased $75 million, or 15.2%, to $568 million for the first six months of 2022 compared to $493 million in the prior year period. This performance reflected the impact of net sales growth, partially offset by the impacts of broad-based inflation and costs associated with productivity initiatives. Operating margin decreased 70 bps versus the year ago period to 69.4%.

LATIN AMERICA BEVERAGES

The following table provides selected information about our Latin America Beverages segment's results:


	First Six Months						Dollar		Percent
(in millions)	2022			2021			Change		Change
Net sales	$	356		$	291		$	65	22.3	%
Income from operations	75			58			17		29.3
Operating margin	21.1		%	19.9		%			120 bps

Sales Volume. Sales volume for the first six months of 2022 as compared to the prior year period increased 6.6%, led by Squirt and Peñafiel, driven by strong in-market execution and improvements in consumer mobility.

Net Sales. Net sales grew 22.3% to $356 million for the first six months of 2022, compared to $291 million in the prior year period, reflecting favorable net price realization of 12.4% and volume/mix growth of 10.3%, slightly offset by unfavorable FX translation of 0.4%.

Table of Contents

Income from Operations. Income from operations increased $17 million, or 29.3%, to $75 million for the first six months of 2022 compared to $58 million in the prior year period, driven by the benefit of net sales growth, partially offset by the impacts of broad-based inflation, higher costs associated with higher volumes and higher marketing expense. Operating margin increased 120 bps versus the year ago period to 21.1% despite inflationary headwinds.

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 second quarter and first six 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; (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 second quarter and first six 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; and (x) foundational projects, which are transformative and non-recurring in nature.

For the second quarter and first six 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 second quarter and first six 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

Second Quarter of 2022 Compared to Second Quarter of 2021

The following discussion of our results for the second 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 13.5% in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the prior year period, driven by favorable net price realization of 10.4% and volume/mix growth of 3.1%.

Constant Currency Adjusted Income from Operations. Constant currency adjusted income from operations decreased 0.6% compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by the impact of broad-based inflation, higher costs due to higher volumes, and increases in other operating costs, partially offset by the strong growth in net sales and the benefit of productivity.

Constant Currency Adjusted Interest Expense. Constant currency adjusted interest expense decreased 10.1% compared to the prior year period, driven by reduced interest expense on our senior unsecured notes as a result of deleveraging and our strategic refinancing initiatives, partially offset by the unfavorable comparison to realized gains on certain interest rate contracts in the prior year period.

Constant Currency Adjusted Effective Tax Rate. The constant currency adjusted effective tax rate was 22.6% for the second quarter of 2022 compared to 25.7% for the prior year period, primarily driven by our incremental income in low tax jurisdictions and the revaluation of state deferred tax liabilities due to state legislative changes.

Constant Currency Adjusted Net Income Attributable to KDP. Constant currency adjusted net income attributable to KDP increased 3.3% compared to the prior year period, as the impacts of lower interest expense and our reduced effective tax rate were slightly offset by the decline in income from operations.

Constant Currency Adjusted Diluted EPS. Constant currency adjusted diluted EPS increased 2.6% in the current period.

Table of Contents

Results of Operations by Segment

COFFEE SYSTEMS

Constant Currency Net Sales. Constant currency net sales increased 9.1%, reflecting higher net price realization of 5.8% and volume/mix growth of 3.3%, driving growth in net sales for both K-cup pods and brewers.

Constant Currency Adjusted Income from Operations. Constant currency adjusted income from operations for the second quarter of 2022 decreased 8.4% compared to the prior year period, driven by increased costs due to the impacts of broad-based inflation, investments to accelerate coffee recovery and increases in other operating costs. These decreases were partially offset by the benefit of pricing actions and the benefit of productivity.

PACKAGED BEVERAGES

Constant Currency Net Sales. Constant currency net sales increased 12.9%, reflecting favorable net price realization of 11.0%, primarily driven by price increases, and volume/mix growth of 1.9%.

Constant Currency Adjusted Income from Operations. Constant currency adjusted income from operations for the second quarter of 2022 decreased 14.5% compared to the prior year period, driven primarily by broad-based inflation, higher costs associated with increased volume and increases in other operating costs, partially offset by the impact of net sales growth and productivity.

BEVERAGE CONCENTRATES

Constant Currency Net Sales. Constant currency net sales increased 22.9%, reflecting higher net price realization of 19.2%, predominantly driven by the favorable comparison to our prior year customer trade accrual, as well as price increases, and volume/mix growth of 3.7%.

Constant Currency Adjusted Income from Operations. Constant currency adjusted income from operations for the second quarter of 2022 increased 27.6% 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 26.5%, driven by favorable net price realization of 14.5% and volume/mix growth of 12.0%.

Constant Currency Adjusted Income from Operations. Constant currency adjusted income from operations for the second quarter of 2022 increased 35.1% compared to the prior year period, reflecting the benefit of net sales growth and productivity, partially offset by the impacts of broad-based inflation and higher costs associated with increased volumes.

CONSTANT CURRENCY ADJUSTED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

First Six Months of 2022 Compared to First Six Months of 2021

The following discussion of our results for the first six 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 9.9% in the first six months of 2022 compared to the prior year period, driven by favorable net price realization of 8.4% and volume/mix growth of 1.5%.

Constant Currency Adjusted Income from Operations. Constant currency adjusted income from operations decreased 0.9% compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by the impact of broad-based inflation and increases in other operating costs, partially offset by the strong growth in net sales. Other drivers of the change included the benefit of productivity and a $38 million gain on an asset sale-leaseback transaction related to our strategic asset investment program.

Constant Currency Adjusted Interest Expense. Constant currency adjusted interest expense decreased 15.5% compared to the prior year period, driven by reduced interest expense on our senior unsecured notes as a result of our strategic refinancing initiatives and continued deleveraging.

Constant Currency Adjusted Effective Tax Rate. The constant currency adjusted effective tax rate was 22.7% for the first six months of 2022 compared to 24.1% for the prior year period, primarily driven by our incremental income in low tax jurisdictions during the first six months of 2022.

Constant Currency Adjusted Net Income Attributable to KDP. Constant currency adjusted net income attributable to KDP increased 2.2% compared to the prior year period, as the impacts of lower interest expense and the decrease in our effective tax rate were partially offset by the decline in income from operations.

Constant Currency Adjusted Diluted EPS. Constant currency adjusted diluted EPS increased approximately 1.4% over the prior year period.

Table of Contents

Results of Operations by Segment

COFFEE SYSTEMS

Constant Currency Net Sales. Constant currency net sales increased 2.3%, driven by higher net price realization of 4.5%, partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix of 2.2%.

Constant Currency Adjusted Income from Operations. Constant currency adjusted income from operations for the first six months of 2022 decreased 16.5% compared to the prior year period, as a result of broad-based inflation 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 13.0%, reflecting favorable net price realization of 9.7% and volume/mix growth of 3.3%.

Constant Currency Adjusted Income from Operations. Constant currency adjusted income from operations for the first six months of 2022 decreased 1.6% compared to the prior year period, driven by increased costs due to the impacts of broad-based inflation, higher costs associated with higher volumes and increases in other operating costs. These declines were partially offset by the benefits of net sales growth, asset sale-leaseback activity in the first six months of 2022 relating to our strategic asset initiative, and increased productivity.

BEVERAGE CONCENTRATES

Constant Currency Net Sales. Constant currency net sales increased 16.6%, reflecting higher net price realization of 13.8%, driven by price increases, as well as the favorable comparison to our prior year customer trade accrual, and volume/mix growth of 2.8%.

Constant Currency Adjusted Income from Operations. Constant currency adjusted income from operations for the first six months of 2022 increased 15.9% 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 22.7%, driven by favorable net price realization of 12.4% and volume/mix growth of 10.3%.

Constant Currency Adjusted Income from Operations. Constant currency adjusted income from operations for the first six months of 2022 increased 26.7% compared to the prior year period, driven by higher net price realization and favorable volume/mix, partially offset by broad-based inflation, higher costs associated with higher volumes, and higher 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. As of June 30, 2022, we did not identify any indications that the carrying amount of any goodwill or any intangible assets may not be recoverable.

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 six months of 2022 and 2021:

Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents decreased $14 million from December 31, 2021 to June 30, 2022 primarily as a result of deleveraging, offset by 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 $255 million and $216 million as of June 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 $200 million for the first six months of 2022, as compared to the first six 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

Our cash conversion cycle is defined as DIO and DSO less DPO. The calculation of each component of the cash conversion cycle is provided below:


Component						Calculation (on a trailing twelve month basis)
DIO						(Average inventory divided by cost of sales) * Number of days in the period
DSO						(Accounts receivable divided by net sales) * Number of days in the period
DPO						(Accounts payable * Number of days in the period) divided by cost of sales and SG&A expenses

The following table summarizes our cash conversion cycle:


	June 30,
	2022	2021
DIO	61	57
DSO	36	32
DPO	170	156
Cash conversion cycle	(73)	(67)

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 June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $3,698 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 $1,808 million and $1,572 million for the first six 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.

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 27, 2019, 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. Proceeds from sales of property, plant and equipment were $78 million and $15 million for the first six months of 2022 and 2021, respectively.

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 six 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 six months of 2022, we have declared total dividends of $0.375 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 six 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 $186 million and $204 million for the first six months of 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Table of Contents

Capital expenditures, which includes both purchases of property, plant and equipment and amounts included in accounts payable and accrued expenses, for the first six 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 $138 million and $213 million for the first six 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. 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 $10 million and $12 million for the first six 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.

ADOPTION OF THE EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE PLAN

On July 25, 2022, the Board adopted the Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. Executive Severance Plan (the “Severance Plan”), to be effective July 29, 2022. The Severance Plan provides severance benefits to the Executive Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, members of the Executive Leadership Team (which includes our named executive officers), Senior Vice Presidents and Vice Presidents of the Company, in the event such individual’s employment is terminated in either a Qualifying Termination or a CIC Qualifying Termination, in each case as described below.

Qualifying Termination

For the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, a Qualifying Termination means a termination of employment by the Company without “Cause” (as defined in the Severance Plan) or by the participant for “Good Reason” (as defined in the Severance Plan).

For members of the Executive Leadership Team, a Qualifying Termination means a termination of employment by the Company without Cause or by the participant’s declining an offer for a position that is not a “Comparable Position” (as defined in the Severance Plan).

CIC Qualifying Termination

A “CIC Qualifying Termination” means a termination of the participant’s employment with the Company by the Company without Cause or by the participant for Good Reason (as defined in the Severance Plan), in each case, during the period commencing six months prior to the date on which a “Change in Control” (as defined in the Severance Plan) is consummated and ending on the date that is two years following a Change in Control.

Severance Benefits

If a participant experiences a Qualifying Termination, he or she will receive an amount equal to two times for the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and 1.5 times for members of the Executive Leadership Team the sum of the participant’s annual base salary and annual target bonus, payable in substantially equal installments over 24 months for the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and 18 months for members of the Executive Leadership Team.

If a participant experiences a CIC Qualifying Termination, he or she will receive an amount equal to three times for the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and 2.25 times for members of the Executive Leadership Team the sum of the participant’s annual base salary and annual target bonus, payable in a lump sum within 60 days following the date the release executed by the participant becomes effective and irrevocable.

If any of the payments and benefits to be paid or provided to a participant under the terms of the Severance Plan would be subject to the “golden parachute” excise taxes under the Internal Revenue Code, then such payments and benefits will be reduced to the extent necessary to avoid those excise taxes, but only if such a reduction of pay or benefits would result in a greater after-tax benefit to the eligible employee.

The foregoing descriptions of the Letter Agreement and the Severance Plan do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the respective form of such documents attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3 and Exhibit 10.4.
