Coca-Cola Reports First Quarter 2024 Results
and Provides Updated Guidance

Global Unit Case Volume Grew 1%

Net Revenues Grew 3%;
Organic Revenues (Non-GAAP) Grew 11%

Operating Income Declined 36%;
Comparable Currency Neutral Operating Income (Non-GAAP) Grew 13%

Operating Margin Was 18.9% Versus 30.7% in the Prior Year;
Comparable Operating Margin (Non-GAAP) Was 32.4% Versus 31.8% in the Prior Year

EPS Grew 3% to $0.74; Comparable EPS (Non-GAAP) Grew 7% to $0.72


ATLANTA, April 30, 2024 – The Coca-Cola Company today reported first quarter 2024 results. “We’re encouraged by our start to 2024, delivering another quarter of volume, topline and earnings growth amidst a dynamic backdrop,” said James Quincey, Chairman and CEO of The Coca-Cola Company. “We believe our global system is primed for sustained success, thanks to the right strategies, clear alignment, a powerful portfolio and strong execution.”
Highlights
Quarterly Performance
•Revenues: Net revenues grew 3% to $11.3 billion, and organic revenues (non-GAAP) grew 11%. Revenue performance included 13% growth in price/mix and a 2% decline in concentrate sales. Concentrate sales were 3 points behind unit case volume, largely due to the timing of concentrate shipments and the impact of one less day in the quarter.
•Operating margin: Operating margin was 18.9% versus 30.7% in the prior year, while comparable operating margin (non-GAAP) was 32.4% versus 31.8% in the prior year. The operating margin decline was driven by items impacting comparability, including a charge of $765 million related to the remeasurement of our contingent consideration liability to fair value in conjunction with our acquisition of fairlife, LLC (“fairlife”) in 2020 and a non-cash impairment charge of $760 million related to the BODYARMOR trademark, as well as currency headwinds. Comparable operating margin (non-GAAP) expansion was primarily driven by the impact of refranchising bottling operations and strong topline growth, partially offset by currency headwinds and an increase in marketing investments.
1


•Earnings per share: EPS grew 3% to $0.74, while comparable EPS (non-GAAP) grew 7% to $0.72. EPS performance included the impact of a 7-point currency headwind, while comparable EPS (non-GAAP) performance included the impact of a 9-point currency headwind.
•Market share: The company gained value share in total nonalcoholic ready-to-drink (NARTD) beverages.
•Cash flow: Cash flow from operations was $528 million, an increase of $368 million versus the prior year, driven by strong business performance and working capital initiatives, partially offset by currency headwinds. Free cash flow (non-GAAP) was $158 million, an increase of $274 million versus the prior year.
Company Updates
•Trademark Coca-Cola led growth supported by broad innovation: With consumers increasing their engagement across various social media platforms, the company launched Coca-Cola Happy Tears Zero Sugar, its first product sold exclusively on social media in the United States and Great Britain. Building on the Coke Creations platform, Happy Tears reached consumers with a limited-edition beverage inspired by tears of joy from small acts of kindness. “Hype kits” containing Coca-Cola Happy Tears Zero Sugar and kindness-themed accessories sold out in less than 24 hours and garnered more than 2 billion impressions. In the quarter, the company also introduced Foodmarks by Coca-Cola — as part of the “Recipe for Magic” platform — in over 4,000 locations worldwide. To drive excitement, unique dining experiences were created that pair Coke with meals and local culture. In Thailand, legendary restaurants were transformed into Foodmarks, celebrating street food, music and Coca-Cola. This kind of marketing, which connects consumption occasions with live experiences and consumer passion points, contributed to Trademark Coca-Cola value share gains and volume growth ahead of total company growth. The company also continued to meet consumers’ evolving needs by extending offerings and distribution with affordable and premium packages. In Africa, packages at affordable price points, such as returnable glass and plastic, grew volume double digits for the second consecutive quarter. In the United States, the company continued to expand mini-can availability through mini-can variety packs in the club channel.
•Continuing to drive digital capabilities: The company continued to leverage digital tools to deepen end-to-end relationships with consumers and customers. For example, the company used scannable codes on its packaging to engage consumers, collect first-party data and drive transactions. In the first quarter, there were over 200 active connected packs in more than 40 global markets offering exclusive personalized experiences to consumers. Additionally, the company and its bottling partners continue to invest in digitizing their customer base by integrating fragmented trade customers into B2B platforms. In the first quarter, there was an 8% increase of connected customers compared to the prior year, reaching nearly 8 million customers on B2B platforms. The company continues to utilize the power of AI, as AI-enabled suggested orders are fueling growth. In Latin America, suggested order capabilities have benefited over 3 million outlets, while in India, retailers are leveraging AI-powered suggested order recommendations on Coke Buddy, a customer engagement platform, to place bulk orders via the app. At the shopper level, digital capabilities enabled bottling partners to personalize point-of-sale messaging and drive basket incidence more effectively and efficiently. In Japan’s vending channel, the Coke On app has reached over 50 million downloads and accounts for more than 1 million transactions per day.

Note: Certain rows may not add due to rounding.
1 For Bottling Investments, this represents the percent change in net revenues attributable to the increase (decrease) in unit case volume computed based on total sales (rather than average daily sales) in each of the corresponding periods after considering the impact of structural changes, if any.
2 Organic revenues, comparable currency neutral operating income and comparable currency neutral EPS are non-GAAP financial measures. Refer to the Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures section.
3 Unit case volume is computed based on average daily sales.
4 Due to the combination of multiple business models in the Global Ventures operating segment, the composition of concentrate sales and price/mix may fluctuate materially from period to period. Therefore, the company places greater focus on revenue growth as the best indicator     of underlying performance of the Global Ventures operating segment.
In addition to the data in the preceding tables, operating results included the following:        
Consolidated
•Unit case volume grew 1%. Developed markets were even, while developing and emerging markets grew low single digits, driven by growth in Brazil, the Philippines and Nigeria.

Sparkling flavors were even, as growth in Europe, Middle East and Africa and Latin America was offset by a decline in Asia Pacific.
◦Juice, value-added dairy and plant-based beverages grew 2%, led by North America.
◦Water, sports, coffee and tea declined 2%. Water declined 2%, driven by Asia Pacific and North America. Sports drinks declined 3%, as growth in Latin America and Europe, Middle East and Africa was more than offset by a decline in North America.

•Price/mix grew 13%. Approximately 6 points were driven by pricing from markets experiencing intense inflation, with the remainder driven by pricing actions in the marketplace and favorable mix.

•Price/mix grew 22%. Approximately two-thirds was driven by pricing from markets experiencing intense inflation, with the remainder driven primarily by pricing actions across operating units.

•Operating income declined 5%, which included a 15-point currency headwind and items impacting comparability. Comparable currency neutral operating income (non-GAAP) grew 10%, primarily driven by strong organic revenue (non-GAAP) growth, partially offset by higher operating expenses and an increase in marketing investments.

Latin America
•Unit case volume grew 4%, driven by growth in Trademark Coca-Cola and water, sports, coffee and tea. Growth was led by Brazil and Mexico.

North America
•Unit case volume was even as growth in juice, value-added dairy and plant-based beverages and Trademark Coca-Cola was offset by a decline in water, sports, coffee and tea.
•Price/mix grew 7%, driven by pricing actions in the marketplace and favorable category mix. Concentrate sales were in line with unit case volume.
•Operating income declined 57% for the quarter, driven by items impacting comparability, including a non-cash impairment charge of $760 million related to the BODYARMOR trademark.

Outlook
The 2024 outlook information provided below includes forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, which management uses in measuring performance. The company is not able to reconcile full-year 2024 projected organic revenues (non-GAAP) to full-year 2024 projected reported net revenues, full-year 2024 projected comparable net revenues (non-GAAP) to full-year 2024 projected reported net revenues, full-year 2024 projected underlying effective tax rate (non-GAAP) to full-year 2024 projected reported effective tax rate, full-year 2024 projected comparable currency neutral EPS (non-GAAP) to full-year 2024 projected reported EPS, or full-year 2024 projected comparable EPS (non-GAAP) to full-year 2024 projected reported EPS without unreasonable efforts because it is not possible to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the exact timing and exact impact of acquisitions, divestitures and structural changes throughout 2024; the exact timing and exact amount of items impacting comparability throughout 2024; and the exact impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates throughout 2024. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the company’s full-year 2024 reported financial results.
Full Year 2024
The company expects to deliver organic revenue (non-GAAP) growth of 8% to 9%, which consists of operating performance at the high end of the company’s long-term growth model and the anticipated pricing impact of a number of markets experiencing intense inflation. — Updated
For comparable net revenues (non-GAAP), the company expects a 4% to 5% currency headwind based on the current rates and including the impact of hedged positions. Comparable EPS (non-GAAP) percentage growth is expected to include a 7% to 8% currency headwind based on the current rates and including the impact of hedged positions. The majority of currency headwinds are due to currency devaluation resulting from intense inflation. —Updated
For comparable net revenues (non-GAAP), the company expects a 4% to 5% headwind from acquisitions, divestitures and structural changes. Comparable EPS (non-GAAP) is expected to include an approximate 2% headwind from acquisitions, divestitures and structural changes. — No Update
The company’s underlying effective tax rate (non-GAAP) is estimated to be 19.0%. This does not include the impact of ongoing tax litigation with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, if the company were not to prevail. — Updated
The company expects to deliver comparable currency neutral EPS (non-GAAP) growth of 11% to 13%. — Updated
The company expects comparable EPS (non-GAAP) growth of 4% to 5%, versus $2.69 in 2023. — No Update
The company expects to generate free cash flow (non-GAAP) of approximately $9.2 billion through cash flow from operations of approximately $11.4 billion, less capital expenditures of approximately $2.2 billion. This does not include any potential payments related to ongoing tax litigation with the IRS. — No Update
Second Quarter 2024 Considerations — New
Comparable net revenues (non-GAAP) are expected to include an approximate 6% currency headwind based on the current rates and including the impact of hedged positions, in addition to an approximate 5% to 6% headwind from acquisitions, divestitures and structural changes.
Comparable EPS (non-GAAP) percentage growth is expected to include an approximate 8% to 9% currency headwind based on the current rates and including the impact of hedged positions, in addition to an approximate 2% headwind from acquisitions, divestitures and structural changes.
Notes
•All references to growth rate percentages and share compare the results of the period to those of the prior year comparable period, unless otherwise noted.

•All references to volume and volume percentage changes indicate unit case volume, unless otherwise noted. All volume percentage changes are computed based on average daily sales, unless otherwise noted. “Unit case” means a unit of measurement equal to 192 U.S. fluid ounces of finished beverage (24 eight-ounce servings), with the exception of unit case equivalents for Costa non-ready-to-drink beverage products which are primarily measured in number of transactions. “Unit case volume” means the number of unit cases (or unit case equivalents) of company beverages directly or indirectly sold by the company and its bottling partners to customers or consumers.
•“Concentrate sales” represents the amount of concentrates, syrups, beverage bases, source waters and powders/minerals (in all instances expressed in unit case equivalents) sold by, or used in finished beverages sold by, the company to its bottling partners or other customers. For Costa non-ready-to-drink beverage products, “concentrate sales” represents the amount of beverages, primarily measured in number of transactions (in all instances expressed in unit case equivalents) sold by the company to customers or consumers. In the reconciliation of reported net revenues, “concentrate sales” represents the percent change in net revenues attributable to the increase (decrease) in concentrate sales volume for the geographic operating segments and the Global Ventures operating segment after considering the impact of structural changes, if any. For the Bottling Investments operating segment, this represents the percent change in net revenues attributable to the increase (decrease) in unit case volume computed based on total sales (rather than average daily sales) in each of the corresponding periods after considering the impact of structural changes, if any. The Bottling Investments operating segment reflects unit case volume growth for consolidated bottlers only.
•“Price/mix” represents the change in net operating revenues caused by factors such as price changes, the mix of products and packages sold, and the mix of channels and geographic territories where the sales occurred.
•First quarter 2024 financial results were impacted by one less day as compared to first quarter 2023, and fourth quarter 2024 financial results will be impacted by two additional days as compared to fourth quarter 2023. Unit case volume results for the quarters are not impacted by the variances in days due to the average daily sales computation referenced above.
Conference Call
The company is hosting a conference call with investors and analysts to discuss first quarter operating results today, April 30, 2024, at 8:30 a.m. ET. The company invites participants to listen to a live webcast of the conference call on the company’s website, http://www.coca-colacompany.com, in the “Investors” section.

THE COCA-COLA COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP” or referred to herein as “reported”). To supplement our consolidated financial statements reported on a GAAP basis, we provide the following non-GAAP financial measures: “comparable net revenues,” “comparable currency neutral net revenues,” “organic revenues,” “comparable operating margin,” “underlying operating margin,” “comparable operating income,” “comparable currency neutral operating income,” “comparable EPS,” “comparable currency neutral EPS,” “underlying effective tax rate” and “free cash flow,” each of which is defined below. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with additional meaningful financial information that should be considered when assessing our underlying business performance and trends. Further, management believes these non-GAAP financial measures also enhance investors’ ability to compare period-to-period financial results. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures do not represent a comprehensive basis of accounting. Therefore, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP information are also included below. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating, compensation and planning decisions and in evaluating the company’s performance. Disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures allows investors and management to view our operating results excluding the impact of items that are not reflective of the underlying operating performance.
DEFINITIONS
•“Currency neutral operating results” are determined by dividing or multiplying, as appropriate, our current period actual U.S. dollar operating results, by the current period actual exchange rates (that include the impact of current period currency hedging activities), to derive our current period local currency operating results. We then multiply or divide, as appropriate, the derived current period local currency operating results by the foreign currency exchange rates (that also include the impact of the comparable prior period currency hedging activities) used to translate the company’s financial statements in the comparable prior year period to determine what the current period U.S. dollar operating results would have been if the foreign currency exchange rates had not changed from the comparable prior year period.
•“Structural changes” generally refer to acquisitions and divestitures of bottling operations, including the impact of intercompany transactions between our operating segments. In January 2023, the company refranchised our bottling operations in Vietnam. In January and February 2024, the company refranchised our bottling operations in certain territories in India, and in February 2024, the company refranchised our bottling operations in Bangladesh and the Philippines. The impact of each of these refranchisings has been included in acquisitions, divestitures and structural changes in our analysis of net revenues on a consolidated basis as well as for the Bottling Investments and Asia Pacific operating segments for the three months ended March 29, 2024.
•“Comparable net revenues” is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability (discussed further below). “Comparable currency neutral net revenues” is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability (discussed further below) as well as the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Management believes the comparable net revenues (non-GAAP) growth measure and the comparable currency neutral net revenues (non-GAAP) growth measure provide investors with useful supplemental information to enhance their understanding of the company’s revenue performance and trends by improving their ability to compare our period-to-period results. “Organic revenues” is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and structural changes, as applicable, and the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Management believes the organic revenue (non-GAAP) growth measure provides users with useful supplemental information regarding the company’s ongoing revenue performance and trends by presenting revenue growth excluding the impact of foreign exchange as well as the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and structural changes. The adjustments related to acquisitions, divestitures and structural changes for the three months ended March 29, 2024 included the structural changes discussed above. Additionally, in May 2023, the company acquired certain brands in Asia Pacific. The impact of acquiring these brands has been included in acquisitions, divestitures and structural changes in our analysis of net revenues on a consolidated basis as well as for the Asia Pacific operating segment for the three months ended March 29, 2024.

THE COCA-COLA COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
•“Comparable operating income” is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability (discussed further below). “Comparable currency neutral operating income” is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability (discussed further below) and the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. “Comparable operating margin” is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability (discussed further below). “Underlying operating margin” is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability (discussed further below), the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, and the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and structural changes, as applicable. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the company’s performance and make resource allocation decisions. Further, management believes the comparable operating income (non-GAAP) growth measure, comparable currency neutral operating income (non-GAAP) growth measure, comparable operating margin (non-GAAP) measure and underlying operating margin (non-GAAP) measure enhance its ability to communicate the underlying operating results and provide investors with useful supplemental information to enhance their understanding of the company’s underlying business performance and trends by improving their ability to compare our period-to-period financial results.
•“Comparable EPS” and “comparable currency neutral EPS” are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude or have otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability (discussed further below). Comparable currency neutral EPS (non-GAAP) has also been adjusted for the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the company’s performance and make resource allocation decisions. Further, management believes the comparable EPS (non-GAAP) and comparable currency neutral EPS (non-GAAP) growth measures enhance its ability to communicate the underlying operating results and provide investors with useful supplemental information to enhance their understanding of the company’s underlying business performance and trends by improving their ability to compare our period-to-period financial results.
•“Underlying effective tax rate” is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents the estimated annual effective income tax rate on income before income taxes, which excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability (discussed further below).
•“Free cash flow” is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment. Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate the company’s performance and make resource allocation decisions.
ITEMS IMPACTING COMPARABILITY
The following information is provided to give qualitative and quantitative information related to items impacting comparability. Items impacting comparability are not defined terms within GAAP. Therefore, our non-GAAP financial information may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We determine which items to consider as “items impacting comparability” based on how management views our business; makes financial, operating, compensation and planning decisions; and evaluates the company’s ongoing performance. Items such as charges, gains and accounting changes which are viewed by management as impacting only the current period or the comparable period, but not both, or as pertaining to different and unrelated underlying activities or events across comparable periods, are generally considered “items impacting comparability.” Items impacting comparability include, but are not limited to, asset impairments, transaction gains/losses including associated costs, and charges related to restructuring initiatives, in each case when exceeding a U.S. dollar threshold. Also included are our proportionate share of similar items incurred by our equity method investees, timing differences related to our economic (non-designated) hedging activities, and timing differences related to unrealized mark-to-market adjustments of equity securities and trading debt securities, regardless of size. In addition, we provide the impact that fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates had on our financial results (“currency neutral operating results” defined above).
Asset Impairments
During the three months ended March 29, 2024, the company recorded a charge of $760 million related to the impairment of our BODYARMOR trademark which was primarily driven by revised projections of future operating results and higher discount rates resulting from changes in macroeconomic conditions since the acquisition date.

THE COCA-COLA COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Equity Investees
During the three months ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023, the company recorded net charges of $25 million and $82 million, respectively. These amounts represent the company’s proportionate share of significant operating and nonoperating items recorded by certain of our equity method investees.
Transaction Gains/Losses
During the three months ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023, the company recorded charges of $765 million and $62 million, respectively, related to the remeasurement of our contingent consideration liability to fair value in conjunction with our acquisition of fairlife.
During the three months ended March 29, 2024, the company recorded net gains of $599 million and $293 million related to the refranchising of our bottling operations in the Philippines and in certain territories in India, respectively. Additionally, the company recognized a net gain of $516 million related to the sale of our ownership interest in an equity method investee in Thailand. The company also incurred $7 million of transaction costs related to the refranchising of our bottling operations in certain territories in India and recorded a loss of $7 million related to post-closing adjustments for the refranchising of our bottling operations in Vietnam in 2023.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the company recorded gains of $439 million and $3 million related to the refranchising of our bottling operations in Vietnam and Cambodia, respectively. Additionally, the company recognized a gain of $151 million related to the sale of a portion of our ownership interest in an unconsolidated bottling operation.
Restructuring
During the three months ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023, the company recorded charges of $36 million and $27 million, respectively. The costs incurred were primarily related to certain initiatives designed to further simplify and standardize our organization as part of our productivity and reinvestment program.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the company recorded charges of $18 million. The costs incurred were primarily related to severance costs associated with the restructuring of our North America operating unit.
Other Items
Economic (Non-Designated) Hedges
The company uses derivatives as economic hedges primarily to mitigate the foreign exchange risk for certain currencies, certain interest rate risk, and the price risk associated with the purchase of materials used in our manufacturing processes as well as the purchase of vehicle fuel. Although these derivatives were not designated and/or did not qualify for hedge accounting, they are effective economic hedges. The changes in fair values of these economic hedges are immediately recognized in earnings.
The company excludes the net impact of mark-to-market adjustments for outstanding hedges and realized gains/losses for settled hedges from our non-GAAP financial information until the period in which the underlying exposure being hedged impacts our consolidated statement of income. Management believes this adjustment provides meaningful information related to the impact of our economic hedging activities. During the three months ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023, the net impact of the company’s adjustment related to our economic hedging activities resulted in a decrease of $80 million and an increase of $2 million, respectively, to our non-GAAP income before income taxes.
Unrealized Gains and Losses on Equity and Trading Debt Securities
The company excludes the net impact of unrealized gains and losses resulting from mark-to-market adjustments on our equity and trading debt securities from our non-GAAP financial information until the period in which the underlying securities are sold and the associated gains or losses are realized. Management believes this adjustment provides meaningful information related to the impact of our investments in equity and trading debt securities. During the three months ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023, the net impact of the company’s adjustment related to unrealized gains and losses on our equity and trading debt securities resulted in a decrease of $131 million and an increase of $32 million, respectively, to our non-GAAP income before income taxes.
