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, 2023 and 2022.

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.

REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

As of January 1, 2023, the Company revised its segment structure to align with changes in how the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker manages the business, assesses performance and allocates resources. This change had no impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position. Prior period segment results have been recast to reflect the Company’s new reportable segments. Refer to Note 6 for additional information on the Company’s reportable segments and Note 7 for the Company’s disaggregated revenue portfolio for each reportable segment. The change in segment structure also resulted in a change to the Company’s reporting units. Refer to Note 3 for additional information on the Company’s reporting units.

RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

As of January 1, 2023, the Company adopted 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. While the adoption of ASU 2022-04 did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, it did impact the nature of the disclosures. The disclosure previously included in the Company’s Form 10-K was specific to the amount of KDP’s outstanding payment obligations that were voluntarily elected by the supplier and sold to financial institutions as informed by the third party administrators. ASU 2022-04 instead requires disclosure of the amount of KDP’s outstanding obligations loaded into the supplier finance programs by the Company at each reporting period regardless of whether the outstanding obligation has been elected by the supplier to be sold to financial institutions. Refer to Note 13 for additional information on the Company’s obligations to participating suppliers.

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. Changes to the Company’s operating segments effective January 1, 2023, as described in Note 6, resulted in a change to the Company’s reporting units. The Company’s reporting units are as follows:


Reportable Segments						Reporting Units
U.S. Refreshment Beverages						U.S. Beverage Concentrates
						U.S. WD
						DSD
U.S. Coffee						U.S. Coffee
International						Canada Beverage Concentrates
						Canada WD
						Canada Coffee
						Latin America Beverages

Management performed a step 0 analysis of the goodwill as of the effective date of the segment change for the impacted reporting units. The Company also performed an analysis as of June 30, 2023 to ensure that there were no additional triggering events which occurred during the quarter. As a result of these analyses, management did not identify any indications that the carrying amount of any goodwill or any intangible asset 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 generally reported in interest expense in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. As of June 30, 2023, economic interest rate derivative instruments have maturities ranging from September 2023 to January 2038.

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. During the first quarter of 2023, KDP terminated the remaining forward starting swaps which were designated as cash flow hedges. As the forecasted debt transaction associated with the terminated forward starting swaps was no longer considered probable, the realized gains associated with the termination were recorded in interest expense during the first quarter of 2023.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE

KDP is exposed to foreign exchange risk in its international subsidiaries or with certain counterparties in foreign jurisdictions, which may transact in currencies that are different from the functional currencies of KDP’s legal entities. Additionally, the balance sheets of each of the Company’s Canadian and Mexican businesses are 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 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, 2023, these FX contracts have maturities ranging from July 2023 to October 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 forecasted inventory purchases in U.S. dollars of the Canadian and Mexican businesses. The intent of these FX contracts is to provide predictability in the Company's overall cost structure. As of June 30, 2023, these FX contracts have maturities ranging from July 2023 to September 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 reportable 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, 2023, these commodity contracts have maturities ranging from July 2023 to December 2025.

(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 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.

SIGNIFICANT LEASES THAT HAVE NOT YET COMMENCED

As of June 30, 2023, the Company has entered into leases that have not yet commenced with estimated aggregated future lease payments of approximately $208 million. These leases are expected to commence between the fourth quarter of 2023 and the second half of 2025, with initial lease terms ranging from 4 years to 10 years.

ASSET SALE-LEASEBACK TRANSACTION

The Company entered into a sale-leaseback transaction with the Veyron SPEs during the first six months of 2023. The following table presents details of the transaction. The gain on the sale-leaseback is recorded in Other operating income, net, and the leaseback is accounted for as an operating lease.


(in millions)	Sale Proceeds		Carrying Value		Gain on Sale
March 31, 2023(1)	$	7	$	1	$	6

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

The initial term of the leaseback is approximately 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 15 for additional information about the RVG associated with the asset sale-leaseback transaction.

6. Segments

Effective January 1, 2023, the Company revised its segment structure to align with changes in how the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker manages the business, assesses performance and allocates resources. The Company's reportable segments consist of the following:

•The U.S. Refreshment Beverages segment reflects sales in the U.S. from the manufacture and distribution of branded concentrates, syrup and finished beverages, including the sales of the Company's own brands and third-party brands, to third-party bottlers, distributors and retailers.

•The U.S. Coffee segment reflects sales in the U.S. from the manufacture and distribution of finished goods relating to the Company's K-Cup pods, single-serve brewers and accessories, and other coffee products to partners, retailers and directly to consumers through the Company’s Keurig.com website.

•The International segment reflects sales in international markets, including the following:

◦Sales in Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and other international markets from the manufacture and distribution of branded concentrates, syrup and finished beverages, including sales of the Company's own brands and third-party brands, to third-party bottlers, distributors and retailers.

◦Sales in Canada from the manufacture and distribution of finished goods relating to the Company’s single-serve brewers, K-Cup pods and other coffee products.

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 reportable 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.

7. Revenue Recognition

KDP recognizes revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied. Branded product sales, which include LRB, 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 product portfolio and by reportable segment:


(in millions)	U.S. Refreshment Beverages		U.S. Coffee		International		Total

ACCOUNTS PAYABLE

KDP has agreements with third party administrators which allow participating suppliers to track payment obligations 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 with the financial institutions. KDP's obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment terms, are not impacted. The amount of the outstanding obligations confirmed as valid included in accounts payable as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $3,463 million and $4,113 million respectively.

14. 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had litigation reserves of $9 million and $12 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. Following the conclusion of discovery in 2023, Keurig similarly filed a motion for summary judgment seeking dismissal of these cases and also filed other significant motions.

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.

15. Transactions with Variable Interest Entities

TRANSACTIONS WITH VEYRON SPEs

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, as KDP has limited power based on the contractual agreements to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIEs’ performance.

Leasing Arrangements

As of June 30, 2023, the Company has entered into sixteen lease transactions with the Veyron SPEs, fifteen of which were associated with asset sale-leaseback transactions. Refer to Note 5 for additional information about the current period asset sale-leaseback transaction. 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were $653 million and $650 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Non-current assets	$	424	$	430
Current liabilities	23		22
Non-current liabilities	414		419

(1)The leasing agreements included as of June 30, 2023 include nine manufacturing sites, five distribution centers and our Frisco, Texas headquarters.

(2)The leasing agreements included as of December 31, 2022 include nine manufacturing sites, four 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 June 30, 2023, 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, 2023, KDP had $96 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:

TRANSACTION WITH NUTRABOLT

The Company has a preferred equity investment in Nutrabolt, which will earn the greater of (i) a 5% annual coupon on the preferred equity units plus any accretion for amounts not yet paid or (ii) KDP’s share of Nutrabolt’s earnings as if KDP’s preferred equity was converted into common units. As the other investors of Nutrabolt have to share in Nutrabolt's earnings with KDP if in excess of the 5% annual coupon, the other investors lack certain characteristics of a controlling financial interest, which qualifies Nutrabolt as a VIE. KDP is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE and therefore is not required to consolidate Nutrabolt, as the primary shareholder of the VIE has control over the board and decision-making for the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, including sales, marketing, and operations. KDP has no obligation to provide additional funding to Nutrabolt, and thus the Company’s maximum exposure and risk of loss related to Nutrabolt is limited to the carrying value of KDP’s investment. Refer to Note 10 for the carrying value of the Company’s investment in Nutrabolt.

16. Restructuring Liabilities

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, primarily consisting of workforce reduction costs, were as follows:

Simultaneously, the Company entered into a sales and distribution agreement for La Colombe RTD coffee and a licensing, manufacturing and distribution agreement for La Colombe branded K-Cup coffee pods.

Table of Contents

Net Sales. Net sales increased $235 million, or 6.6%, to $3,789 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $3,554 million in the prior year period. This performance reflected favorable net price realization across all segments totaling 8.2% and favorable FX translation of 0.5%, partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix of 2.1%.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $265 million, or 14.9%, to $2,041 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $1,776 million in the prior year period. This performance primarily reflected the benefits of net sales growth, a favorable change in unrealized commodity mark-to-market activity of $129 million, and productivity, partially offset by broad-based inflation. Gross margin increased 390 bps versus the year ago period to 53.9%.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. SG&A expenses increased $68 million, or 5.6%, to $1,272 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $1,204 million in the prior year period. The increase was driven by higher marketing expense, broad-based inflation, and increases in other operating costs, partially offset by the favorable comparison to costs associated with restructuring and integration projects in the prior year period, as well as productivity savings.

Income from Operations. Income from operations increased $197 million, or 34.4%, to $769 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $572 million in the prior year period, primarily driven by the increase in gross profit.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $3 million, or 1.7%, to $172 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared with $175 million in the prior year period. This change was primarily driven by net realized gains on certain interest rate contracts and the favorable comparison of unrealized mark-to-market activity on interest rate contracts, partially offset by increased use of our commercial paper facility in the current year period.

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt. Loss on early extinguishment of debt reflected a loss of $169 million in the prior year period associated with our 2022 Strategic Refinancing.

Impairment of Investments and Note Receivable. Impairment of investments and note receivable reflected an impairment charge of $6 million in the prior year period associated with the wind-down of Bedford.

Effective Tax Rate. The effective tax rate was 17.9% for the second quarter of 2023, compared to (2.3)% in the prior year period, primarily driven by the revaluation of state deferred tax liabilities due to state legislative changes in the prior year period, slightly offset by the benefit from an immaterial non-cash true-up during the second quarter of 2023 related to the valuation of foreign tax liabilities. Refer to Note 11 of the Notes to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Net Income Attributable to KDP. Net income increased $285 million, or 130.7%, to $503 million for the second quarter of 2023 as compared to $218 million in the prior year period, driven primarily by increased income from operations and the favorable comparison to loss on early extinguishment of debt in the prior year period, partially offset by the increase in our effective tax rate.

Diluted EPS. Diluted EPS increased 140.0% to $0.36 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2023 as compared to $0.15 in the prior year period.

Sales Volume. K-Cup pod volume declined 7.7% in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the prior year period, primarily reflecting at-home coffee category trends, which continued to be impacted by greater consumer mobility versus the prior year, as well as the exit of certain private-label contracts and an unfavorable comparison to the prior year when we rebuilt partner and retailer inventories following supply chain constraints. Brewer volume decreased 10.9% compared to the prior year period, driven by category softness in small appliances and retailer inventory shifts.

Net Sales. Net sales decreased 5.7% to $970 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to net sales of $1,029 million in the prior year period, reflecting volume/mix declines of 7.3%, partially offset by favorable net price realization of 1.6%.

Income from Operations. Income from operations decreased $45 million, or 15.3%, to $250 million for the second quarter of 2023, compared to $295 million for the prior year period, reflecting broad-based inflation, unfavorable volume/mix, increased marketing expenses and costs associated with productivity projects, partially offset by the benefits of productivity and pricing actions.

Table of Contents

Net Sales. Net sales increased $510 million, or 7.7%, to $7,142 million for the first six months of 2023 compared to $6,632 million in the prior year period. This performance reflected favorable net price realization across all segments totaling 9.0% and favorable FX translation impacts of 0.3%, slightly offset by unfavorable volume/mix of 1.6%.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $359 million, or 10.5%, to $3,785 million for the first six months of 2023 compared to $3,426 million in the prior year period. This performance primarily reflected the benefits of net sales growth, productivity and a favorable change in unrealized commodity mark-to-market activity, partially offset by broad-based inflation. Gross margin increased 130 bps versus the year ago period to 53.0%.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. SG&A expenses increased $215 million, or 9.7%, to $2,437 million for the first six months of 2023 compared to $2,222 million in the prior year period. The increase was driven by broad-based inflation, higher marketing expense, an unfavorable comparison to the stock award forfeiture accounting policy change in the prior year period of $40 million, and increases in other operating costs, partially offset by the favorable comparison to restructuring and integration expenses in the prior year period.

Gain on Litigation Settlement. Gain on litigation settlement reflected 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 first quarter of 2022.

Other Operating Income, net. Other operating income, net decreased $30 million for the first six months of 2023 compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by a $32 million reduction in year-over-year asset sale-leaseback activity relating to our strategic asset investment program.

Income from Operations. Income from operations decreased $185 million, or 12.0%, to $1,353 million for the first six months of 2023 compared to $1,538 million in the prior year period, primarily driven by unfavorable comparison to the gain on the litigation settlement and on the reduction in asset sale-leaseback activity. Other factors include higher SG&A expenses, partially offset by increased gross profit.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $168 million, or 46.3%, to $195 million for the first six months of 2023 compared to $363 million for the prior year period, primarily driven by the favorable change in unrealized mark-to-market activity of $174 million on interest rate contracts and realized gains on certain interest rate contracts, partially offset by increased use of our commercial paper facility during the current period.

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt. Loss on early extinguishment of debt reflected a loss of $217 million in the prior year period associated with our 2022 Strategic Refinancing and our early retirement of our 2038 Notes, the 2021 364-Day Credit Agreement and the KDP Revolver.

Gain on Sale of Equity Method Investment. Gain on sale of equity method investment reflected the portion of the settlement payment from BodyArmor in the first quarter of 2022 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.

Impairment of Investments and Note Receivable. Impairment on investments and note receivable reflected a non-cash impairment charge of $12 million in the first six months of 2022 associated with the wind-down of Bedford.

Other Non-operating (Income) Expense, net. Other (income) expense, net reflected a favorable change of $54 million from the prior year period, driven by gains on the Company’s investments in equity securities, primarily led by Nutrabolt’s preferred dividend and mark-to-market on our Vita Coco investment.

Effective Tax Rate. The effective tax rate increased 90 bps to 18.8% for the first six months of 2023, compared to 17.9% in the prior year period, as the benefit from our incremental income in low tax jurisdictions and the immaterial non-cash true-up during the second quarter of 2023 was more than offset by the unfavorable comparison to the benefit from the revaluation of state deferred tax liabilities due to state legislative changes in the prior year period. Refer to Note 11 of the Notes to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Net Income Attributable to KDP. Net income attributable to KDP increased $167 million, or 20.8%, to $970 million for the first six months of 2023 as compared to $803 million in the prior year period, primarily driven by the favorable comparison to the loss on extinguishment of debt in the prior year, reduced interest expense, and gains on our investments in equity securities, partially offset by lower income from operations, the unfavorable comparison to the gain in the prior year period for the sale of our equity method investment in BodyArmor, and the increase in our effective tax rate.

Diluted EPS. Diluted EPS increased 23.2% to $0.69 per diluted share as compared to $0.56 in the prior year period.

Income from Operations. Income from operations decreased $68 million, or 12.4%, to $482 million for the first six months of 2023, compared to $550 million in the prior year period, as a result of broad-based inflation, declines in volume/mix, higher marketing expense and increases in other operating costs.

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 2023 and 2022, 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 second quarter and first six months of 2023, the other certain items excluded for comparison purposes include (i) productivity expenses and (ii) costs related to significant non-routine legal matters, specifically the antitrust litigation. Additionally, the non-cash changes in deferred tax liabilities related to goodwill and other intangible assets during the second quarter of 2023 included an immaterial non-cash true-up of the valuation of foreign deferred tax liabilities related to a prior period.

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, specifically the antitrust litigation; (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, which were 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; (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); and (x) foundational projects, which are transformative and non-recurring in nature.

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 2023 and 2022, 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 2023 Compared to Second Quarter of 2022

The following discussion of our results for the second quarter of 2023 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 6.1% in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the prior year period, driven by favorable net price realization of 8.2%, partially offset by decreased volume/mix of 2.1%.

Constant Currency Adjusted Income from Operations. Constant currency adjusted income from operations increased 4.4% compared to the prior year period. This increase primarily resulted from the benefits of strong net sales growth and productivity, partially offset by the impacts of broad-based inflation, higher marketing expense, and increases in other operating costs.

Constant Currency Adjusted Interest Expense. Constant currency adjusted interest expense increased 5.6% compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by increased use of our commercial paper facility in the current period, partially offset by realized gains on certain interest rate contracts during the current period.

Constant Currency Adjusted Effective Tax Rate. The constant currency adjusted effective tax rate was relatively flat, with a rate of 22.1% for the second quarter of 2023 compared to 22.5% for the prior year period.

Constant Currency Adjusted Net Income Attributable to KDP. Constant currency adjusted net income attributable to KDP increased 7.0% compared to the prior year period, driven primarily by the increase in constant currency adjusted income from operations, the decrease in our effective tax rate and gains from our investments in equity securities, partially offset by increased constant currency adjusted interest expense.

Constant Currency Adjusted Diluted EPS. Constant currency adjusted diluted EPS increased 7.7% in the current period.

Results of Operations by Segment

U.S. REFRESHMENT BEVERAGES

Constant Currency Net Sales. Constant currency net sales increased 11.8%, reflecting higher net price realization of 12.0%, partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix of 0.2%.

CONSTANT CURRENCY ADJUSTED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

First Six Months of 2023 Compared to First Six Months of 2022

The following discussion of our results for the first six months of 2023 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 7.4% in the first six months of 2023 compared to the prior year period, driven by favorable net price realization of 9.0%, partially offset by lower volume/mix of 1.6%.

Constant Currency Adjusted Income from Operations. Constant currency adjusted income from operations increased 0.3% compared to the prior year period. This increase primarily resulted from the benefits of strong net sales growth and productivity, partially offset by the impacts of broad-based inflation, higher marketing expense, increases in other operating costs, and the unfavorable comparison of a number of prior year benefits. Such prior year benefits included the change in our accounting policy related to the recognition of forfeitures for our stock awards, the asset sale-leaseback activity related to our strategic asset investment program, and the portion of the settlement payment from BodyArmor for the reimbursement of attorney fees.

Constant Currency Adjusted Interest Expense. Constant currency adjusted interest expense increased 3.2% compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by increased use of our commercial paper facility in the current year period, partially offset by net realized gains on certain interest rate contracts and reduced interest on senior unsecured notes as a result of our 2022 Strategic Refinancing.

Constant Currency Adjusted Effective Tax Rate. The constant currency adjusted effective tax rate was 21.3% for the first six months of 2023 compared to 22.7% for the prior year period, primarily driven by the tax benefit received from favorable adjustments upon foreign tax return filing and excess tax deductions that were generated from the vesting of RSUs during the first quarter of 2023.

Constant Currency Adjusted Net Income Attributable to KDP. Constant currency adjusted net income attributable to KDP increased 4.1% compared to the prior year period, as the decrease in our effective tax rate and increased constant currency adjusted income from operations were partially offset by increased constant currency adjusted interest expense.

Constant Currency Adjusted Diluted EPS. Constant currency adjusted diluted EPS increased approximately 5.6% over the prior year period, driven by lower weighted average shares outstanding compared to the prior year period and the increase in constant currency adjusted net income attributable to KDP.

Results of Operations by Segment

U.S. REFRESHMENT BEVERAGES

Constant Currency Net Sales. Constant currency net sales increased 12.2%, reflecting favorable net price realization of 12.2% and flat volume/mix.

Constant Currency Adjusted Income from Operations. Constant currency adjusted income from operations for the first six months of 2023 increased 15.2% compared to the prior year period, driven by the benefits of net sales growth and productivity, partially offset by broad-based inflation, higher marketing expense, the unfavorable comparison to asset sale-leaseback activity relating to our strategic asset initiative in the prior year period, and increases in other operating costs.

U.S. COFFEE

Constant Currency Net Sales. Constant currency net sales decreased 3.6%, driven by unfavorable volume/mix of 6.9%, partially offset by higher net price realization of 3.3%.

Constant Currency Adjusted Income from Operations. Constant currency adjusted income from operations decreased 10.3% compared to the prior year period, as a result of inflation in input costs, declines in volume/mix and increases in other operating costs. These decreases were partially offset by the benefits of pricing actions and productivity.

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.

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 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 2023 and 2022:

Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents decreased $257 million from December 31, 2022 to June 30, 2023, primarily driven by the reduction in cash provided by operating activities, which was largely impacted by the reduction in accounts payable during the six months ended June 30, 2023, as well as dividend payments and share repurchases, partially offset by net issuances of commercial paper.

Cash generated by our foreign operations is generally repatriated to the U.S. periodically as working capital funding requirements, where allowed. We do not expect restrictions or taxes on repatriation of cash held outside the U.S. to have a material effect on our overall business, liquidity, financial condition or results of operations for the foreseeable future.

Table of Contents

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 decreased $887 million for the first six months of 2023, as compared to the first six months of 2022, driven by the decrease in net income adjusted for non-cash items, led by the unfavorable year-over-year impact of the $349 million gain from BodyArmor in the first six months of 2022 and a reduction in our cash conversion cycle.

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,
	2023	2022
DIO	73	61
DSO	33	36
DPO	143	170
Cash conversion cycle	(37)	(73)

Our cash conversion cycle increased 36 days to approximately (37) days as of June 30, 2023 as compared to (73) days as of June 30, 2022. The increase in DIO reflects our efforts to restore inventory to meet customer service levels and the build up of our inventory of C4, and the decrease in DPO was driven by the reduction of payment terms for certain suppliers.

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 enter 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 with the financial institutions. Our obligations to our suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment terms, are not impacted. Refer to Note 13 of the Notes to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our obligations to participating suppliers.

Table of Contents

Sources of Liquidity - Financing

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 $7 million and $77 million of net cash proceeds from our strategic asset investment program during the first six months of 2023 and 2022, respectively, which are included in Proceeds from sales of property, plant and equipment in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Debt Ratings

Our credit ratings are as follows:

Rating Agency

Long-Term Debt Rating

Commercial Paper Rating

Outlook

Moody's

Baa1

P-2

Stable

S&P

BBB

A-2

Stable

These debt and commercial paper ratings impact the interest we pay on our financing arrangements. A downgrade of one or both of our debt and commercial paper ratings could increase our interest expense and decrease the cash available to fund anticipated obligations.

As of June 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all debt covenants and we have no reason to believe that we will be unable to satisfy these covenants.

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 further reduce our leverage ratio. We also plan to invest in inorganic value creation through mergers or acquisitions, which may include portfolio expansion, distribution scale, geographic expansion, and new capabilities. In addition, we have repurchased shares of our outstanding common stock, as described below.

Table of Contents

Regular Quarterly Dividends

For the first six months of 2023, we have declared total dividends of $0.40 per share.

Repurchases of Common Stock

Our Board authorized a four-year share repurchase program, ending December 31, 2025, of up to $4 billion of our outstanding common stock, potentially enabling us to return value to shareholders. We repurchased and retired $457 million of common stock during the first six months of 2023. As of June 30, 2023, $3,164 million remained available for repurchase under the authorized share repurchase program.

Capital Expenditures

We are investing in state-of-the-art manufacturing and warehousing facilities, including expansive investments in facilities in Spartanburg, South Carolina; and Allentown, Pennsylvania, in 2023 and 2022, in order to optimize our supply chain network.

Purchases of property, plant and equipment were $149 million and $186 million for the first six months of 2023 and 2022, respectively.

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 2023 and 2022 primarily related to the manufacturing and warehousing facilities discussed above. Capital expenditures included in accounts payable and accrued expenses were $214 million and $138 million for the first six months of 2023 and 2022, respectively, which primarily related to these investments.

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

From time to time, we expect to invest in beverage startup companies or in brand ownership companies to grow our presence in certain product categories, or enter into various licensing and distribution agreements to expand our product portfolio. Our investments in beverage startup companies generally involve acquiring a minority interest in equity securities of a company, in certain cases with a protected path to ownership at our future option.

Purchases of Intangible Assets

We have invested in the expansion of our DSD network through transactions with strategic independent bottlers or third-party brand ownership companies to ensure competitive distribution scale. 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 $55 million and $10 million for the first six months of 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Uncertainties and Trends Affecting Liquidity

Disruptions in financial and credit markets, including those caused by inflation, global economic uncertainty and rising interest rates, 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.
