(NASDAQ: KDP) today reported results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024. The Company also provided guidance for 2025. Reported GAAP Basis Adjusted Basis1 Q4 FY 2024 Q4 FY 2024 Net Sales $4.07 bn $15.35 bn $4.07 bn $15.35 bn % vs prior year 5.2 % 3.6 % 6.2 % 3.9 % Diluted EPS $(0.11) $1.05 $0.58 $1.92 % vs prior year (122.4) % (32.3) % 5.5 % 7.8 % Full year 2024 highlights: Constant currency net sales growth of 4%, led by U.S. Refreshment Beverages and International segments Adjusted diluted EPS growth of 8%, marking a second consecutive year of sequential acceleration Strong operating cash flow growth of 67% to $2.2 billion and free cash flow growth of 82% to $1.7 billion, supporting balanced capital allocation Commenting on the results, CEO Tim Cofer stated, "In 2024, we delivered strong financial performance consistent with our long-term algorithm and advanced our strategy to lay the groundwork for KDP's next phase of growth. We gained market share through exciting innovation, marketing, and activation across our CSD and coffee brands, drove win-win outcomes with partner brands such as Electrolit and C4, and took bold action to extend our portfolio and route to market with the acquisition of GHOST and select territory expansions." Cofer continued, "We achieved these results while delivering record productivity to support reinvestment and bottom-line growth, with accelerated free cash flow generation enabling both value-enhancing investments and direct shareholder returns. Though the operating backdrop is demanding, we are confident that our strategic progress and business momentum will translate into yet another set of compelling, on-algorithm results in 2025." 2024 Full Year Consolidated Results Net sales for the full year increased 3.6% to $15.4 billion. On a constant currency basis, net sales advanced 3.9%, driven by volume/mix growth of 2.7% and favorable net price realization of 1.2%. GAAP operating income decreased 18.8% to $2.6 billion. The decrease primarily reflected the unfavorable year-over-year impact of items affecting comparability, including $718 million in goodwill and other intangible impairments2 and an accrual for $225 million in upcoming distribution termination payments related to GHOST. Adjusted operating income increased 9.0% to $4.0 billion and totaled 25.9% of net sales. Adjusted operating income growth reflected productivity savings and net sales growth, partially offset by the impact of inflationary pressures and higher SG&A costs, including increased marketing investment. GAAP net income decreased 33.9% to $1.4 billion, or $1.05 per diluted share, primarily reflecting the decrease in GAAP operating income and the unfavorable year-over-year impact of non-operating items affecting comparability. Adjusted net income increased 4.7% to $2.6 billion and Adjusted diluted EPS increased 7.8% to $1.92. Adjusted diluted EPS growth was driven by the Adjusted operating income growth and a lower share count. Operating cash flow for the full year increased 67.0% to $2.2 billion and free cash flow increased 81.8% to $1.7 billion. 2024 Full Year Segment Results U.S. Refreshment Beverages Net sales for the full year increased 5.8% to $9.3 billion, led by favorable net price realization of 3.1% and volume/mix growth of 2.7%. This performance reflected healthy base business momentum, led by CSDs, as well as the contribution from Electrolit. GAAP operating income decreased 24.4% to $1.9 billion. This decrease primarily reflected the unfavorable year-over-year impact of items affecting comparability, including $718 million in goodwill and other intangible impairments2 and an accrual for $225 million in upcoming distribution termination payments related to GHOST. Adjusted operating income increased 11.7% to $2.9 billion and totaled 30.7% of net sales. Adjusted operating income growth was driven by net sales growth, productivity savings, and earned C4 performance incentives, partially offset by the impact of inflationary pressures. U.S. Coffee Net sales for the full year decreased 2.6% to $4.0 billion, with volume/mix growth of 1.0% more than offset by unfavorable net price realization of 3.6%. K-Cup® pod shipments were flat, driven by solid performance in a gradually improving at-home coffee category. Brewer shipments totaled 10.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, increasing 7.3% year-over-year, supported by stabilizing coffeemaker category trends and Keurig market share momentum. GAAP operating income decreased 6.8% to $1.1 billion. Adjusted operating income decreased 3.2% to $1.3 billion and totaled 32.5% of net sales. GAAP and Adjusted operating income reflected the net sales decline and the impact of inflationary pressures, which more than offset productivity savings and SG&A efficiencies. International Net sales for the full year increased 6.8% to $2.1 billion. On a constant currency basis, net sales advanced 9.2%, led by volume/mix growth of 6.2% and favorable net price realization of 3.0%. GAAP operating income increased 14.7% to $545 million. Adjusted operating income increased 13.5% to $552 million and totaled 26.9% of net sales. GAAP and Adjusted operating income growth were driven by net sales growth and productivity savings, partially offset by the impact of inflationary pressures and higher SG&A costs, including increased marketing investment. Fourth Quarter Consolidated Results Net sales for the fourth quarter increased 5.2% to $4.1 billion. On a constant currency basis, net sales advanced 6.2%, driven by volume/mix growth of 5.3% and favorable net price realization of 0.9%. GAAP operating income decreased 93.3% to $63 million, primarily reflecting an unfavorable year-over-year impact of items affecting comparability, including $718 million in goodwill and other intangible impairments2 and an accrual for $225 million in upcoming distribution termination payments related to GHOST. Adjusted operating income increased 3.4% to $1,129 million and totaled 27.7% of net sales. Adjusted operating income growth primarily reflected net sales growth and productivity savings, partially offset by the impact of inflationary pressures and higher SG&A costs, including increased marketing investment. GAAP net income decreased 120.8% to $(144) million, or $(0.11) per diluted share, reflecting the decrease in GAAP operating income and the unfavorable year-over-year impact of non-operating items affecting comparability. Adjusted net income increased 3.2% to $790 million and Adjusted diluted EPS increased 5.5% to $0.58. Adjusted diluted EPS growth was driven by the Adjusted operating income growth and a lower share count. Operating cash flow for the fourth quarter increased 185.9% to $849 million and free cash flow increased 380.4% to $687 million. Fourth Quarter Segment Results U.S. Refreshment Beverages Net sales for the fourth quarter increased 10.3% to $2.4 billion, driven by volume/mix growth of 7.5% and favorable net price realization of 2.8%. The volume/mix performance reflected strong base business momentum, primarily led by CSDs, as well as the contribution from Electrolit. GAAP operating income decreased 125.6% to $(176) million, which included an unfavorable year-over-year impact of items affecting comparability, including $718 million in goodwill and other intangible impairments2 and an accrual for $225 million in upcoming distribution termination payments related to GHOST. Adjusted operating income increased 8.6% to $774 million and totaled 31.7% of net sales. Adjusted operating income growth was driven by net sales growth and productivity savings, partially offset by the impact of inflationary pressures and lapping a larger earned C4 performance incentive in the year-ago period. U.S. Coffee Net sales for the fourth quarter decreased 2.4% to $1.1 billion. Volume/mix grew 0.7%, including a 1.1% increase in K-Cup® pod shipments, which was more than offset by unfavorable net price realization of 3.1%. GAAP operating income decreased 8.9% to $349 million. Adjusted operating income decreased 5.7% to $399 million and totaled 35.3% of net sales. GAAP and Adjusted operating income reflected the net sales decline and the impact of inflationary pressures, which more than offset productivity savings. International Net sales for the fourth quarter increased 0.8% to $0.5 billion. On a constant currency basis, net sales advanced 8.5%, driven by volume/mix growth of 6.5% and favorable net price realization of 2.0%. GAAP operating income decreased 12.5% to $126 million, including an unfavorable impact from foreign exchange translation. Adjusted operating income decreased 8.6% to $130 million and totaled 26.1% of net sales. GAAP and Adjusted operating income reflected the impact of inflationary pressures and higher SG&A costs, including increased marketing investment, which more than offset net sales growth and productivity savings. 2025 Guidance The 2025 guidance provided below is presented on a constant currency, non-GAAP basis. The Company does not provide reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures, due to the inability to predict the amount and timing of impacts outside of the Company's control on certain items, such as non-cash gains or losses resulting from mark-to-market adjustments of derivative instruments, among others, which could be material. Reconciling such items would require unreasonable efforts. KDP expects net sales growth in a mid-single-digit range and Adjusted diluted EPS growth in a high-single-digit range for 2025 on a constant currency basis, including the anticipated contribution from the recent GHOST acquisition. At current rates, foreign currency translation is forecasted to approximate a one to two percentage point headwind to full year top- and bottom-line growth. 1 Adjusted financial metrics presented in this release are non-GAAP, excluding items affecting comparability and with growth rates presented on a constant currency basis. See reconciliations of GAAP results to Adjusted results on a constant currency basis in the accompanying tables. 2 In Q4 2024, the Company recognized $718 million of non-cash impairments related to intangible brand assets, primarily driven by Snapple, and goodwill within the U.S. Warehouse Direct reporting unit.

Specifically, investors should consider the following with respect to our financial results: 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) transaction costs for significant business combinations (completed or abandoned); (vii) non-cash changes in deferred tax liabilities related to goodwill and other intangible assets as a result of tax rate or apportionment changes; and (viii) other certain items that are excluded for comparison purposes to prior year periods.

Other adjustments related to the GHOST transactions solely include the termination payments for the distribution rights. For the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023, the other certain items excluded for comparison purposes include (i) productivity expenses; (ii) restructuring expenses associated with the 2023 CEO Succession and Associated Realignment; (iii) impairment recognized on certain intangible assets; and (iv) costs related to significant non-routine legal matters, including the antitrust litigation.
