Company Reaffirms Adjusted EPS Guidance for the Year

BURLINGTON, MA and FRISCO, TX (July 28, 2022) - Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (NASDAQ: KDP) today reported strong results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022 and raised its full-year net sales guidance to low-double-digit growth, from the previous high-single-digit range. The Company also reaffirmed its guidance for full year Adjusted EPS growth in the mid-single-digit range.

Reported GAAP Basis	Adjusted Basis1
Q2	YTD 2022	Q2	YTD
Net Sales	$3.55 bn	$6.63 bn	$3.55 bn	$6.63 bn
% vs prior year	13.2%	9.8%	13.5%	9.9%
Diluted EPS	$0.15	$0.56	$0.39	$0.72
% vs prior year	(51.6)%	3.7%	2.6%	1.4%

Commenting on the announcement, Chairman and CEO Bob Gamgort stated, "Our strong results reflect the flexibility and resilience of our business and the capability of our team to execute with excellence. We successfully recovered from supply chain disruptions in coffee and non-carbonated beverages, implemented additional pricing to offset inflation and continued to accelerate growth across our broad portfolio, leading to another quarter of strong market share performance. We remain confident that our "all-weather" business model will enable us to deliver in the ongoing volatile macro environment."

Incoming CEO Ozan Dokmecioglu added, "I am pleased with the continued strength of our business and remain confident in our ability to deliver our plans for the second half of this year. I look forward to assuming the role of CEO and partnering with our talented team to drive value creation through the successful execution of our strategic plan."

Second Quarter Consolidated Results

Net sales for the second quarter of 2022 increased 13.2% to $3.55 billion, compared to $3.14 billion in the year-ago period and, on a constant currency basis, net sales increased 13.5%. This strong performance reflected balanced growth in all segments, with both pricing and volumes up in the quarter. Driving the consolidated net sales growth was favorable net price realization of 10.4% and higher volume/mix of 3.1%, reflecting modest volume elasticity impacts in the quarter.

KDP in-market performance in the Liquid Refreshment Beverages (LRB) category remained exceptionally strong in the quarter, with retail dollar consumption2 advancing 9.9% and market share growing or holding across 92% of the Company's cold beverage portfolio, largely reflecting strength in CSDs3, premium unflavored water, coconut water, seltzers, teas, apple juice, vegetable juice and fruit drinks. This performance was driven by Dr Pepper, Sunkist, Canada Dry, A&W and Squirt CSDs, CORE Hydration, Vita Coco, Polar seltzers, Snapple, Hawaiian Punch and Mott's.

In coffee, retail dollar consumption of single-serve pods manufactured by KDP increased 3.8% in IRi tracked channels, led by higher pricing in both partner and KDP owned and licensed brands, with stronger growth registered in untracked channels. Coffee Systems net sales in the quarter advanced approximately 9%, reflecting the early completion of the Company's coffee recovery program, which enabled KDP to begin to restore inventory levels to partners and customers. KDP manufactured share in the quarter remained strong at 81.8%.

GAAP operating income in the second quarter of 2022 decreased 22.1% to $572 million, compared to $734 million in the year-ago period, primarily reflecting higher gross profit, driven by the strong and balanced net sales growth and productivity, more than offset by the unfavorable year-over-year impact of items affecting comparability and broad-based inflationary pressures and supply chain disruption.

Adjusted operating income declined slightly in the quarter to $832 million, or 23.4% as a percent of net sales, reflecting Adjusted gross profit growth of 10%, offset by inflationary pressures in transportation, warehousing and retail labor, each of which increased on a rate basis in the quarter.

GAAP net income in the second quarter of 2022 decreased 51.3% to $218 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared to $448 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, in the year-ago period. This performance reflected the decline in GAAP operating income and the unfavorable year-over-year impact of items affecting comparability, which more than offset the benefits of a lower effective tax rate and reduced interest expense.

Adjusted net income in the quarter advanced 3.3% to $554 million, driven by the benefits of the lower effective tax rate and reduced interest expense, partially offset by the slight decline in Adjusted operating income. Adjusted diluted EPS in the quarter increased 2.6% to $0.39, compared to $0.38 in the year-ago period.

Operating cash flow in the second quarter of 2022 totaled $676 million and free cash flow totaled $599 million, primarily reflecting the increase in operating cash flow and slightly lower capital expenditures.

During the quarter, the Company repurchased approximately 2.5 million KDP shares for a total cost of $87.6 million, at an average price per share of $34.51. The company has $3.9 billion remaining under its share repurchase authorization expiring on December 31, 2025.

Second Quarter Segment Results

Coffee Systems

Net sales for the second quarter of 2022 increased 8.5% to $1.20 billion, compared to $1.10 billion in the year-ago period and, on a constant currency basis, net sales increased 9.1%. The constant currency net sales growth was driven by a 5.8% increase in net price realization and a 3.3% increase in volume/mix, reflecting the benefits of modest elasticities and the early completion of the Company's coffee recovery program, which enabled KDP to begin to rebuild retailer and partner inventories and restore customer service levels.

The higher net price realization of 5.8% in the quarter was driven by pod and brewer pricing actions taken late in 2021 and during the second quarter of 2022. The volume/mix increase of 3.3% reflected pod volume growth of 4.7%, partially offset by a brewer volume decline of 4.2%, reflecting comparison to the strong 29% brewer growth in the year-ago period.

2

GAAP operating income in the second quarter of 2022 decreased 11.3% to $315 million, compared to $355 million in the year-ago period, largely reflecting the lag in timing between higher net price realization and broad-based inflation, continued elevated costs associated with the coffee recovery program, a slight increase in marketing investment and the unfavorable year-over-year impact of items affecting comparability. Partially offsetting these factors was the benefit of productivity. Adjusted operating income decreased 8.4% to $369 million and, on a percent of net sales basis, totaled 30.9%.

Packaged Beverages

Net sales for the second quarter of 2022 increased 12.8% to $1.69 billion, compared to $1.50 billion in the year-ago period and, on a constant currency basis, net sales increased 12.9%. This strong and balanced net sales performance was driven by higher net price realization of 11.0% and increased volume/mix of 1.9%, reflecting modest volume elasticities and continued strong in-market execution.

The strong net sales performance reflected broad-based strength across the portfolio, led by CSDs, CORE Hydration, Snapple, Polar seltzers, Vita Coco, Mott's and Hawaiian Punch.

GAAP operating income in the second quarter of 2022 decreased 11.1% to $232 million, compared to $261 million in the year-ago period, primarily reflecting the lag in timing between higher net price realization and broad-based inflation and higher marketing investment, partially offset by productivity and the favorable year-over-year impact of items affecting comparability. Adjusted operating income decreased 14.5% to $247 million and, on a percent of net sales basis, totaled 14.6%.

Beverage Concentrates

Net sales for the second quarter of 2022 increased 22.7% to $460 million, compared to $375 million in the year-ago period and, on a constant currency basis, increased 22.9%. This strong and balanced performance was driven by higher net price realization of 19.2%, including favorable timing related to trade accruals versus year-ago, and favorable volume/mix of 3.7%, reflecting modest volume elasticities.

Total shipment volume versus year-ago increased 3.5% in the quarter, led by increases in Canada Dry and Dr Pepper. Bottler case sales volume in the quarter were essentially even with the year-ago period.

GAAP operating income in the second quarter of 2022 increased 27.1% to $324 million, compared to $255 million in the year-ago period, primarily reflecting the strong net sales performance and lower marketing, partially offset by broad-based inflation and the slightly unfavorable year-over-year impact of items affecting comparability. Adjusted operating income increased 27.6% to $327 million and, on a percent of net sales basis, totaled 71.1%.

Latin America Beverages

Net sales for the second quarter of 2022 increased 26.5% to $210 million, on both a reported and constant currency basis, compared to net sales of $166 million in the year-ago period. This strong and balanced performance was driven by higher net price realization of 14.5% and increased volume/mix of 12.0%, reflecting modest volume elasticities and strong in-market execution. Leading the net sales growth were Peñafiel, Clamato, Squirt and Mott's.

GAAP operating income in the second quarter of 2022 increased 38.9% to $50 million, compared to $36 million in the year-ago period, reflecting the strong growth in net sales, productivity and a slightly favorable year-over-year impact of items affecting comparability which, taken together, more than offset broad-based inflationary pressures, particularly elevated logistics costs, and increased marketing investment. Adjusted operating income increased 35.1% to $50 million and, on a percent of net sales basis, totaled 23.8%.

3

KDP Acquisition

During the quarter, KDP announced an agreement to acquire the global rights to Atypique, a highly unique non-alcohol, ready-to-drink cocktail brand in the emerging and fast-growing non-alcohol cocktail segment in Canada. This new platform complements KDP's strong and successful ready-to-drink alcohol portfolio in Canada and provides the Company with new growth opportunities in an exciting, new category.

KDP 2022 Guidance

KDP raised its guidance for 2022 constant currency net sales growth to the low-double-digit range and reaffirmed its guidance for Adjusted EPS growth in the mid-single-digit range. The Company continues to expect Adjusted EPS growth in the second half of the year to reach the high-single-digit range, driven largely by the fourth quarter.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures including Adjusted operating income, Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted EPS, free cash flow and financial measures presented on a constant currency basis, which differ from results using U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as supplements to the GAAP reported measures, should not be considered replacements for, or superior to, the GAAP measures and may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures typically exclude certain charges, including one-time costs that are not expected to occur routinely in future periods. The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures internally to focus management on performance excluding these special charges to gauge our business operating performance. Management believes this information is helpful to investors because it increases transparency and assists investors in understanding the underlying performance of the Company and in the analysis of ongoing operating trends. Additionally, management believes that non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by analysts and investors in their evaluation of companies, and their continued inclusion provides consistency in financial reporting and enables analysts and investors to perform meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to non-GAAP financial measures are set forth in the appendix to this release and included in the Company's filings with the SEC.

To the extent that the Company provides guidance, it does so only on a non-GAAP basis and does not provide reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP measures to GAAP 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.

RECONCILIATION OF CERTAIN NON-GAAP INFORMATION

(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; (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 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; (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; (vi) the gain on the sale of our investment in BodyArmor; (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 and (ix) foundational projects, which are transformative and non-recurring in nature.

For the second quarter of 2021, 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; (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; and (vi) gains from insurance recoveries related to the February 2019 organized malware attack on our business operation networks in the Coffee Systems segment.

Costs related to significant non-routine legal matters relate to the antitrust litigation. Incremental costs to our operations related to risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic include incremental expenses 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.

We believe removing these costs reflects how management views our business results on a consistent basis.

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 2022 and 2021, 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.
