PURCHASE, N.Y. - February 9, 2024 - PepsiCo, Inc. (NASDAQ: PEP) today reported results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2023.
“We are pleased with our results for 2023 as we successfully navigated another year of elevated levels of inflation, macroeconomic volatility, geopolitical tensions and international conflicts. Our results demonstrate that the investments we have made to strengthen our business and advance our pep+ agenda are working: it’s evident in how we are innovating, operating, empowering our teams, building our brands, and competing in the marketplace,” said Chairman and CEO Ramon Laguarta.
Laguarta continued, “We are confident that our businesses will perform well in 2024 in the context of changing marketplace conditions. Category growth rates are normalizing as consumer behaviors largely revert to pre-pandemic norms and net revenue realization moderates as inflationary pressures are expected to abate. Moving forward, we will further sharpen our focus on providing consumers great-tasting products that offer convenience and compelling value. We will also aggressively manage our costs to accelerate productivity, and invest more in our brands, innovation, channel expansion and pep+ transformation.
For 2024, we now expect to deliver at least 4 percent organic revenue growth and at least 8 percent core constant currency EPS growth. We also announced a 7 percent increase in our annualized dividend, starting with our June 2024 payment, which represents our 52nd consecutive annual increase, and we plan to repurchase approximately $1 billion worth of shares.”

PepsiCo provides guidance on a non-GAAP basis as we cannot predict certain elements which are included in reported GAAP results, including the impact of foreign exchange and commodity mark-to-market net impacts. PepsiCo’s fiscal year ends on the last Saturday of each December, resulting in an additional week of results every five or six years (53rd reporting week). PepsiCo’s fourth quarter 2022 included 17 weeks of results and its 2022 fiscal year included 53 weeks of results.

(a)Excludes the impact of acquisitions and divestitures and the 53rd reporting week. In certain instances, the volume change shown here differs from the impact of organic volume on net revenue performance disclosed in the Organic Revenue Growth Rates tables on page A-9, due to the impacts of product mix, nonconsolidated joint venture volume, and, for our franchise-owned beverage businesses, temporary timing differences between bottler case sales (BCS) and concentrate shipments and equivalents (CSE). We report net revenue from our franchise-owned beverage businesses based on CSE. The volume sold by our nonconsolidated joint ventures has no direct impact on our net revenue.
(b)Net revenue decline was impacted by product returns related to the voluntary recall of certain bars and cereals in our Quaker Foods North America division (Quaker Recall) by 5 percentage points, as well as cessation of sales of products as a result of the Quaker Recall.
n/m - Not meaningful due to the impact of impairment and other charges, resulting in an operating loss in 2022.
Note: Amounts may not sum due to rounding.
Organic revenue and core constant currency results are non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to the reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP information in the attached exhibits and to the Glossary for definitions of “Organic revenue growth,” “Core” and “Constant currency.”
PepsiCo’s fiscal year ends on the last Saturday of each December, resulting in an additional week of results every five or six years. PepsiCo’s fourth quarter 2022 included 17 weeks of results and its 2022 fiscal year included 53 weeks of results.
Discussion of Fourth-Quarter 2023 Reported Division Results:
In addition to the reported net revenue performance as set out in the tables on pages 2 and A-9, reported operating results were driven by the following:
Frito-Lay North America
Operating profit increased 2%, primarily reflecting effective net pricing, productivity savings, a 5-percentage-point favorable impact of prior-year impairment charges associated with a baked fruit convenient food brand and lower advertising and marketing expenses. These impacts were partially offset by certain operating cost increases, including strategic initiatives, and an 8-percentage-point impact of higher commodity costs, primarily cooking oil, seasoning ingredients, and potatoes, a 6-percentage-point unfavorable impact of the 53rd reporting week in the prior year and an organic volume decline.
Quaker Foods North America
Operating profit declined 79%, primarily reflecting a 73-percentage-point impact of product returns and charges associated with the Quaker Recall, a net revenue decline, certain operating cost increases and a 7-percentage-point unfavorable impact of the 53rd reporting week in the prior year. These impacts were partially offset by productivity savings, lower advertising and marketing expenses and a 3-percentage-point impact from lower restructuring charges.
PepsiCo Beverages North America
Operating profit decreased 27%, primarily reflecting certain operating cost increases, a 37-percentage-point impact of current-year impairment charges related to our investment in Tropicana Brands Group (TBG), a decrease in organic volume, a 22-percentage-point impact of higher commodity costs, primarily sweeteners, and a 6-percentage-point unfavorable impact of the 53rd reporting week in the prior year. These impacts were partially offset by effective net pricing, productivity savings, a 7-percentage-point favorable impact from lower restructuring charges and lower advertising and marketing expenses.
Latin America
Operating profit increased 67%, primarily reflecting effective net pricing, productivity savings and an 18-percentage-point impact of favorable foreign exchange. These impacts were partially offset by certain operating cost increases, a net decline in organic volume and higher advertising and marketing expenses.
Europe
Operating profit improvement primarily reflects effective net pricing, a 78-percentage-point favorable impact of lower impairment charges related to the SodaStream business (other impairment charges), productivity savings and a 6-percentage-point favorable impact of lower restructuring charges. These impacts were partially offset by certain operating cost increases, a 58-percentage-point impact of higher commodity costs, primarily packaging materials and sweeteners, largely driven by transaction-related foreign exchange, a 28-percentage-point impact of unfavorable foreign exchange translation, primarily due to weakening of the Russian Ruble, and higher advertising and marketing expenses.
Africa, Middle East and South Asia
Operating profit improvement primarily reflects a favorable impact of the prior year impairment and other charges associated with our decision to sell or discontinue certain non-strategic brands and an investment (brand portfolio impairment charges), effective net pricing, a favorable impact of the prior year impairment charges primarily related to certain juice brands from the Pioneer Food Group Ltd. (Pioneer Foods) acquisition (other impairment charges), productivity savings and lower advertising and marketing expenses. These impacts were partially offset by certain operating cost increases, a 79-percentage-point impact of higher commodity costs, primarily packaging materials and sweeteners, largely driven by transaction-related foreign exchange, and a 20-percentage-point impact of unfavorable foreign exchange translation, primarily due to weakening of the Egyptian pound.
Asia Pacific, Australia and New Zealand and China Region
Operating profit improvement primarily reflects a favorable impact of lower impairment charges related to the Be & Cheery brand (other impairment charges), effective net pricing, productivity savings, a favorable impact of lower restructuring charges and a favorable impact of impairment charges on certain property, plant and equipment due to the discontinuation of a non-strategic brand (brand portfolio impairment charges) in China in the prior year. These impacts were partially offset by certain operating cost increases, a net organic volume decline and higher advertising and marketing expenses.

Discussion of Full-Year 2023 Reported Division Results:
In addition to the reported net revenue performance as set out in the tables on pages 5 and A-9, reported operating results were driven by the following:
Frito-Lay North America
Operating profit increased 10%, primarily reflecting the effective net pricing, productivity savings and a 2-percentage-point favorable impact of prior-year impairment charges associated with a baked fruit convenient food brand. These impacts were partially offset by certain operating cost increases, including strategic initiatives, and a 10-percentage-point impact of higher commodity costs, primarily cooking oil, seasoning ingredients and potatoes. The 53rd reporting week in the prior year reduced operating profit growth by 2 percentage points.
Quaker Foods North America
Operating profit declined 19%, reflecting a 22-percentage-point impact of product returns and charges associated with the Quaker Recall, certain operating cost increases, the decrease in organic volume, a 9-percentage-point impact of higher commodity costs, higher advertising and marketing expenses and a 2-percentage-point unfavorable impact of the 53rd reporting week in the prior year. These impacts were partially offset by effective net pricing and productivity savings.
In 2024, unit volume, net revenue and operating profit will continue to be negatively impacted by the Quaker Recall due to lower sales and additional charges.
PepsiCo Beverages North America
Operating profit decreased 52%, primarily reflecting the unfavorable impact of the prior-year gain of $3.0 billion associated with the sale of Tropicana, Naked and other select juice brands (Juice Transaction) and the current-year impairment charges of $321 million related to our investment in TBG, partially offset by the prior-year impairment and other related charges of $160 million associated with our decision to terminate the agreement with Vital Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to distribute Bang energy drinks. Operating profit also decreased due to certain operating cost increases, the decrease in organic volume, an 18-percentage-point impact of higher commodity costs, primarily sweeteners and energy, a 5-percentage-point unfavorable impact due to a prior-year gain on an asset sale and higher advertising and marketing expenses. Additionally, operating profit performance reflects a 2-percentage-point unfavorable impact of the 53rd reporting week in the prior year. These impacts were partially offset by the effective net pricing and productivity savings.
Latin America
Operating profit increased 38%, primarily reflecting the effective net pricing, productivity savings, a 13-percentage-point impact of favorable foreign exchange and a 6-percentage-point favorable impact of a prior-year impairment and other charges associated with the sale of certain non-strategic brands. These impacts were partially offset by certain operating cost increases, the net organic volume decline, an 11-percentage-point impact of higher commodity costs, primarily potatoes, sweeteners and other ingredients and higher advertising and marketing expenses.
Europe
Operating profit improvement primarily reflects the favorable impact of prior-year charges associated with the Russia-Ukraine conflict and impairment of intangible assets related to the repositioning or discontinuation of certain juice and dairy brands in Russia (brand portfolio impairment charges) and the favorable impact of lower impairment charges related to the SodaStream business (other impairment charges), partially offset by the unfavorable impact of the prior-year gain associated with the Juice Transaction. Operating profit improvement also reflects the effective net pricing and productivity savings. These impacts were partially offset by certain operating cost increases, a 54-percentage-point impact of higher commodity costs, primarily sweeteners, packaging and potatoes, a 16-percentage-point impact of unfavorable foreign exchange, higher advertising and marketing expenses and the organic volume decline.
Africa, Middle East and South Asia
Operating profit grew 21%, primarily reflecting a 24-percentage-point favorable impact of impairment and other charges associated with our decision to sell or discontinue certain non-strategic brands and an investment in the prior year (brand portfolio impairment charges), a 4-percentage-point favorable impact of impairment charges primarily related to certain juice brands from the Pioneer Foods acquisition in the prior year (other impairment charges), the effective net pricing and productivity savings. These impacts were partially offset by a 70-percentage-point impact of higher commodity costs, primarily packaging materials, sweeteners and grains, largely driven by transaction-related foreign exchange, certain operating cost increases and a 21-percentage-point impact of unfavorable foreign exchange, primarily due to weakening of the Egyptian pound.
Asia Pacific, Australia and New Zealand and China Region
Operating profit grew 33%, primarily reflecting a 23-percentage-point favorable impact of lower impairment charges related to the Be & Cheery brand (other impairment charges), the effective net pricing and productivity savings. These impacts were partially offset by certain operating cost increases, higher advertising and marketing expenses, the net organic volume decline, a 5-percentage-point impact of higher commodity costs and a 4-percentage-point impact of unfavorable foreign exchange.
Guidance and Outlook
The Company provides guidance on a non-GAAP basis as we cannot predict certain elements which are included in reported GAAP results, including the impact of foreign exchange translation and commodity mark-to-market net impacts.
For 2024, the Company now expects:
•At least 4 percent increase in organic revenue;
•At least 8 percent increase in core constant currency EPS;
In addition, the Company expects:
•A core annual effective tax rate of 20 percent; and
•Total cash returns to shareholders of approximately $8.2 billion, comprised of dividends of $7.2 billion and share repurchases of $1.0 billion.
In addition, the Company expects an approximate 1-percentage-point foreign exchange translation headwind to impact reported net revenue and core EPS growth based on current market consensus rates.
This assumption and the guidance above imply 2024 core EPS of at least $8.15, a 7 percent increase compared to 2023 core EPS of $7.62.
Dividend Increase
The Company today announced a 7 percent increase in its annualized dividend to $5.42 per share from $5.06 per share, effective with the dividend expected to be paid in June 2024. This represents the Company’s 52nd consecutive annual dividend per share increase.

Non-GAAP Measures
In discussing financial results and guidance, the Company refers to the following measures which are not in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP): organic revenue growth, core results and core constant currency results. We use non-GAAP financial measures internally to make operating and strategic decisions, including the preparation of our annual operating plan, evaluation of our overall business performance and as a factor in determining compensation for certain employees. We believe presenting non-GAAP financial measures provides additional information to facilitate comparison of our historical operating results and trends in our underlying operating results and provides additional transparency on how we evaluate our business. We also believe presenting these measures allows investors to view our performance using the same measures that we use in evaluating our financial and business performance and trends.
We consider quantitative and qualitative factors in assessing whether to adjust for the impact of items that may be significant or that could affect an understanding of our ongoing financial and business performance or trends. Examples of items for which we may make adjustments include: amounts related to mark-to-market gains or losses (non-cash); charges related to restructuring plans; charges associated with acquisitions and divestitures; gains associated with divestitures; asset impairment charges (non-cash); product recall-related impact; pension and retiree medical-related amounts, including all settlement and curtailment gains and losses; charges or adjustments related to the enactment of new laws, rules or regulations, such as tax law changes; amounts related to the resolution of tax positions; tax benefits related to reorganizations of our operations; debt redemptions, cash tender or exchange offers; and remeasurements of net monetary assets. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2021, certain immaterial pension and retiree medical-related settlement and curtailment gains and losses were not considered items affecting comparability. Pension and retiree medical-related service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets, and other net periodic pension costs continue to be reflected in our core results. See below for a description of adjustments to our GAAP financial measures included herein.
Non-GAAP information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as or comparable to similar non-GAAP measures presented by other companies.
Glossary
We use the following definitions when referring to our non-GAAP financial measures:
Acquisitions and divestitures: mergers and acquisition activity, as well as divestitures and other structural changes, including changes in ownership or control in consolidated subsidiaries and nonconsolidated equity investees.
Bottler case sales (BCS): Measure of physical beverage volume shipped to retailers and independent distributors from both PepsiCo and our independent bottlers.
Concentrate shipments and equivalents (CSE): Measure of our physical beverage volume shipments to independent bottlers.
Constant currency: Financial results assuming constant foreign currency exchange rates used for translation based on the rates in effect for the comparable prior-year period. In order to compute our constant currency results, we multiply or divide, as appropriate, our current-year U.S. dollar results by the current-year average foreign exchange rates and then multiply or divide, as appropriate, those amounts by the prior-year average foreign exchange rates.
Core: Core results are non-GAAP financial measures which exclude certain items from our financial results. For further information regarding these excluded items, refer to “Items Affecting Comparability” in “Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2023 Form 10-K. For the periods presented, core results exclude the following items:
Mark-to-market net impact
Mark-to-market net gains and losses on commodity derivatives in corporate unallocated expenses. These gains and losses are subsequently reflected in division results when the divisions recognize the cost of the underlying commodity in operating profit.
Restructuring and impairment charges
Expenses related to the multi-year productivity plan publicly announced in 2019, which was expanded and extended through the end of 2028 to take advantage of additional opportunities within the initiatives of the plan.
Acquisition and divestiture-related charges
Acquisition and divestiture-related charges primarily include merger and integration charges and costs associated with divestitures. Merger and integration charges include liabilities to support socioeconomic programs in South Africa, gains associated with contingent consideration, employee-related costs, contract termination costs, closing costs and other integration costs. Divestiture-related charges reflect transaction expenses, including consulting, advisory and other professional fees.
Gain associated with the Juice Transaction
We recognized a gain associated with the Juice Transaction in our PepsiCo Beverages North America and Europe divisions.
Impairment and other charges
We recognized Russia-Ukraine conflict charges, brand portfolio impairment charges and other impairment charges as described below.
Russia-Ukraine conflict charges
In connection with the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, we recognized charges related to indefinite-lived intangible assets and property, plant and equipment impairment, allowance for expected credit losses, inventory write-downs and other costs. We also recognized adjustments to the charges recorded in 2022.
Brand portfolio impairment charges
We recognized intangible asset, investment and property, plant and equipment impairments and other charges as a result of management’s decision to reposition or discontinue the sale/distribution of certain brands and to sell an investment. We also recognized adjustments to the charges recorded in 2022.
Other impairment charges
We recognized impairment charges taken as a result of our quantitative assessments of certain of our indefinite-lived intangible assets and related to our investment in TBG.
Product recall-related impact
We recognized product returns, inventory write-offs and customer and consumer-related costs in our Quaker Foods North America division associated with a voluntary recall of certain bars and cereals.
Pension and retiree medical-related impact
Pension and retiree medical-related impact includes settlement charges related to lump sum distributions exceeding the total of annual service and interest costs, as well as curtailment gains.
Tax benefit related to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) audit
We recognized a non-cash tax benefit resulting from our agreement with the IRS to settle one of the issues assessed in the 2014 through 2016 tax audit. The agreement covers tax years 2014 through 2019.
Tax expense related to the TCJ Act
Tax expense related to the TCJ Act reflects adjustments to the mandatory transition tax liability under the TCJ Act.
Effective net pricing: Reflects the year-over-year impact of discrete pricing actions, sales incentive activities and mix resulting from selling varying products in different package sizes and in different countries.
Organic revenue growth: A measure that adjusts for the impacts of foreign exchange translation, acquisitions and divestitures, and every five or six years, the impact of the 53rd reporting week, including in our 2022 financial results. Adjusting for acquisitions and divestitures reflects mergers and acquisitions activity, as well as divestitures and other structural changes, including changes in ownership or control in consolidated subsidiaries and nonconsolidated equity investees. We believe organic revenue growth provides useful information in evaluating the results of our business because it excludes items that we believe are not indicative of ongoing performance or that we believe impact comparability with the prior year.
2024 guidance
Our 2024 organic revenue growth guidance excludes the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and other structural changes and foreign exchange translation. Our 2024 core effective tax rate guidance and our 2024 core constant currency EPS growth guidance exclude the mark-to-market net impact included in corporate unallocated expenses, restructuring and impairment charges and other items noted above. Our 2024 core constant currency EPS growth guidance also excludes the impact of foreign exchange translation. We are unable to reconcile our full year projected 2024 organic revenue growth to our full year
projected 2024 reported net revenue growth because we are unable to predict the 2024 impact of foreign exchange due to the unpredictability of future changes in foreign exchange rates and because we are unable to predict the occurrence or impact of any acquisitions, divestitures or other structural changes. We are also not able to reconcile our full year projected 2024 core effective tax rate to our full year projected 2024 reported effective tax rate and our full year projected 2024 core constant currency EPS growth to our full year projected 2024 reported EPS growth because we are unable to predict the 2024 impact of foreign exchange or the mark-to-market net impact on commodity derivatives due to the unpredictability of future changes in foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. Therefore, we are unable to provide a reconciliation of these measures.

(a)A financial measure that is not in accordance with GAAP. See pages A-6 through A-8 for further discussion.
(b)Excludes the impact of acquisitions and divestitures and the 53rd reporting week. In certain instances, the impact of organic volume on net revenue growth differs from the unit volume disclosed in the Summary Fourth-Quarter 2023 Performance and Summary Full-Year 2023 Performance tables on pages 2 and 5, respectively, due to the impacts of product mix, nonconsolidated joint venture volume, and, for our franchise-owned beverage businesses, temporary timing differences between BCS and CSE. We report net revenue from our franchise-owned beverage businesses based on CSE. The volume sold by our nonconsolidated joint ventures has no direct impact on our net revenue.
(c)Net revenue decline was impacted by product returns related to the Quaker Recall, by 5 percentage points in the quarter ended December 30, 2023 and 2 percentage points in the year ended December 30, 2023, as well as cessation of sales of products as a result of the Quaker Recall.
Note – Amounts may not sum due to rounding.
