Company Raises 2025 Constant Currency Net Sales Outlook and Reaffirms Adjusted EPS Guidance

BURLINGTON, Mass. and FRISCO, Texas, Oct. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (NASDAQ: KDP) today reported results for the third quarter of 2025, raised its full year constant currency net sales growth outlook, and reaffirmed its full year adjusted EPS guidance.

  Reported GAAP Basis Adjusted Basis1
  Q3 YTD Q3 YTD
Net Sales $4.31 bn $12.10 bn $4.31 bn $12.10 bn
% vs prior year 10.7 % 7.3 % 10.6 % 8.1 %
Diluted EPS $0.49 $1.27 $0.54 $1.45
% vs prior year 8.9 % 9.5 % 5.9 % 9.7 %

Commenting on the quarter, CEO Tim Cofer stated, “We are pleased with our third quarter results, which demonstrated robust growth in U.S. Refreshment Beverages and encouraging sequential progress in U.S. Coffee. Strong innovation and in-market execution drove market share gains across key categories, with sales momentum, along with disciplined actions to offset inflationary pressures, contributing to solid earnings and free cash flow growth. We are focused on sustaining our base business strength while also thoughtfully preparing for the transformation ahead as we first acquire and integrate JDE Peet’s and subsequently separate into two, advantaged pure-play companies.”

Third Quarter Consolidated Results

Net sales for the third quarter increased 10.7% to $4.3 billion. On a constant currency basis, net sales advanced 10.6%, driven by volume/mix growth of 6.4% and favorable net price realization of 4.2%. The acquisition of GHOST contributed 4.4 percentage points to volume/mix growth.

GAAP operating income increased 10.3% to $995 million, including a favorable year-over-year impact of items affecting comparability. Adjusted operating income increased 3.8% to $1,091 million and totaled 25.3% 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.

GAAP net income increased 7.5% to $662 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, including a favorable year-over-year impact of items affecting comparability. Adjusted net income increased 6.5% to $738 million and Adjusted diluted EPS increased 5.9% to $0.54, driven by the Adjusted operating income growth and benefits from minority investments.

Operating cash flow for the third quarter was $639 million and free cash flow totaled $528 million.

__________________________________________
1 Adjusted financial metrics presented in this release are non-GAAP, excluding items affecting comparability. Adjusted growth rates are non-GAAP, excluding items affecting comparability and presented on a constant currency basis. See reconciliations of GAAP results to Adjusted results on a constant currency basis in the accompanying tables.

Third Quarter Segment Results

U.S. Refreshment Beverages

Net sales for the third quarter increased 14.4% to $2.7 billion, driven by volume/mix growth of 11.2% and favorable net price realization of 3.2%. Segment growth reflected market share gains in carbonated soft drinks, energy, and sports hydration. The acquisition of GHOST contributed 7.2 percentage points to volume/mix growth.

GAAP operating income increased 11.1% to $802 million, including a favorable year-over-year impact of items affecting comparability. Adjusted operating income increased 10.0% to $816 million and totaled 29.8% 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.

U.S. Coffee

Net sales for the third quarter increased 1.5% to $991 million. Favorable net price realization of 5.5% was offset by a volume/mix decline of 4.0%. Net sales growth reflected K-Cup pricing actions taken to combat inflation, partially offset by pod and brewer shipment declines.

GAAP operating income decreased 6.7% to $237 million, including an unfavorable year-over-year impact of items affecting comparability. Adjusted operating income increased 2.6% to $317 million and totaled 32.0% of net sales. Adjusted operating income growth was driven by net price realization and cost efficiency measures, partially offset by the impact of inflationary pressures.

International

Net sales for the third quarter increased 10.5% to $580 million. On a constant currency basis, net sales increased 10.1%, driven by favorable net price realization of 6.1% and volume/mix growth of 4.0%. Performance was led by healthy growth in key categories such as mineral water in Mexico and single serve coffee in Canada.

GAAP operating income decreased 2.5% to $153 million, including a favorable year-over-year impact of items affecting comparability. Adjusted operating income decreased 4.3% to $155 million and totaled 26.7% of net sales. The Adjusted operating income decline primarily reflected inflationary pressure, which more than offset the impact of 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 now expects fiscal 2025 constant currency net sales growth in a high-single-digit range, revised from a mid-single-digit growth outlook previously. The Company’s outlook for Adjusted diluted EPS growth in a high-single-digit range is unchanged. At current rates, foreign currency translation is forecasted to approximate a one half of one percentage point headwind to full year top- and bottom-line growth.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, which differ from results using U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as supplements to and should not be considered replacements for, or superior to, the GAAP measures.  These measures may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies, and other companies may not define the non-GAAP financial measure in the same way. Non-GAAP financial measures typically exclude certain charges, including one-time costs that are not expected to occur routinely in future periods, described by the Company as “items affecting comparability”. Refer to page A-6 for the Company’s description of items affecting comparability for each period presented. The Company uses non-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 non-GAAP financial measures in making operational and financial decisions and in our budgeting and planning process. We believe that providing 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.

Adjusted gross profit. Adjusted gross profit is defined as Net sales less Cost of sales, as adjusted for items affecting comparability as described on page A-6. Management believes that Adjusted gross profit is useful for investors in evaluating the Company’s operating results and understanding the Company’s operating trends by adjusting certain items that can vary significantly depending on specific underlying transactions or events, thereby affecting comparability.

Adjusted operating income. Adjusted operating income is defined as Income from operations, as adjusted for items affecting comparability as described on page A-6. Management believes that Adjusted operating income is useful for investors in evaluating the Company’s operating results and understanding the Company’s operating trends by adjusting certain items that can vary significantly depending on specific underlying transactions or events, thereby affecting comparability.

Adjusted net income. Adjusted net income is defined as Net income, as adjusted for items affecting comparability as described on page A-6. Management believes that Adjusted net income is useful for investors in evaluating the Company’s operating results and understanding the Company’s operating trends by adjusting certain items that can vary significantly depending on specific underlying transactions or events, thereby affecting comparability.

Adjusted diluted EPS. Adjusted diluted EPS is defined as Diluted EPS, as adjusted for items affecting comparability as described on page A-6. Management believes that Adjusted diluted EPS is useful for investors in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of our operations since it adjusts for certain items affecting overall comparability.

Adjusted gross margin. Adjusted gross margin is defined as Adjusted gross profit divided by Net sales. Management believes that Adjusted gross margin is useful for investors as supplemental measures to evaluate our operating performance and ability to manage ongoing costs.

Adjusted operating margin. Adjusted operating margin is defined as Adjusted Income from operations divided by Net sales. Management believes that Adjusted operating margin is useful for investors as supplemental measures to evaluate our operating performance and ability to manage ongoing costs.

Adjusted interest expense. Adjusted interest expense is defined as Interest expense, net, as adjusted for items affecting comparability as described on page A-6. Management believes that Adjusted interest expense is useful for investors in evaluating our performance and establishing expectations for the impacts of interest expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA, as adjusted for items affecting comparability as described on page A-6. EBITDA is defined as Net income as adjusted for interest expense, net; provision for income taxes; depreciation expense; amortization of intangibles; and other amortization. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful for investors in evaluating the Company’s operating results and understanding the Company’s operating trends by adjusting certain items that can vary significantly depending on specific underlying transactions or events, thereby affecting comparability.

Management leverage ratio. Management leverage ratio is defined as KDP’s total principal amounts of debt less cash and cash equivalents, divided by Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes that the Management leverage ratio is useful for investors in evaluating the Company’s liquidity and assessing the Company’s ability to meet its financial obligations.

Free cash flow. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for purchases of property, plant and equipment, proceeds from sales of property, plant and equipment, and certain items excluded for comparison to prior year periods. Management uses this measure to evaluate the company’s performance and make resource allocation decisions.

Financial measures presented on a constant currency basis. 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. Because our reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar, the value of financial measures presented in U.S. Dollar will be affected by changes in currency exchange rates. Therefore, we present certain financial measures on a constant currency basis for greater comparability.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP INFORMATION
CERTAIN LINE ITEMS – CONSOLIDATED
(UNAUDITED)

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures that reflect the way management evaluates the business may provide investors with additional information regarding the Company’s results, trends and ongoing performance on a comparable basis.

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 prior to its sale in the first quarter of 2025; (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), excluding costs related to the JDE Peet’s acquisition; and (vii) other certain items that are excluded for comparison purposes to prior year periods.

For the first nine months of 2025, the other certain items excluded for comparison purposes include (i) productivity expenses; (ii) restructuring adjustments associated with the 2023 CEO Succession and Associated Realignment; (iii) costs related to significant non-routine legal matters, including the antitrust litigation; (iv) restructuring expenses associated with the Network Optimization program; (v) the impact of the step-up of acquired inventory associated with the GHOST and Dyla acquisitions; (vi) integration expenses associated with the GHOST and Dyla acquisitions; (vii) the change in our mandatory redemption liability for GHOST; (viii) acquisition, integration, and financing costs associated with the anticipated acquisition of JDE Peet’s and subsequent spin of Global Coffee Co.; and (ix) non-cash changes in deferred tax liabilities related to goodwill and other intangible assets as a result of tax rate or apportionment changes.

The acquisition, integration, and financing costs associated with the anticipated acquisition of JDE Peet’s and subsequent spin of Global Coffee Co. includes costs to obtain proceeds to close the JDE Peet’s acquisition and costs to manage the FX risk associated with the purchase price. Concurrent with the announcement of the anticipated acquisition of JDE Peet’s, we entered into a bridge loan agreement and incurred deferred financing costs, of which $5 million was amortized into interest expense during the third quarter of 2025. Further, we executed €10 billion FX forward contracts during the third quarter of 2025 to protect against negative foreign exchange movement against the Euro-denominated purchase price prior to the close of the acquisition of JDE Peet’s. During the third quarter of 2025, we recognized an unrealized mark-to-market gain of $28 million on these instruments, which was recorded to other income, net. 

For the first nine months of 2024, 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) costs related to significant non-routine legal matters, including the antitrust litigation; (iv) restructuring expenses associated with the Network Optimization program; and (v) the impact of the step-up of acquired inventory associated with the Kalil acquisition.

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 third quarter and first nine months of 2025 and 2024, 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.
