DR PEPPER SNAPPLE GROUP REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2010 RESULTS

Net sales were up 4% for the quarter.

Excluding certain items, earnings per share were $0.67 for the quarter. Reported diluted earnings
per share were $0.49.

Plano, TX, Feb. 17, 2011 — Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc. (NYSE: DPS) reported fourth quarter 2010 diluted earnings of $0.49 per share compared to $0.44 per share in the prior year period. Excluding the loss on the early retirement of a portion of the 6.82% 2018 notes and certain tax-related items, diluted earnings per share were $0.67 compared to $0.44 in the prior year.

For the quarter, reported net sales increased 4% reflecting sales volume growth, positive pricing and deferred revenue recognized under the PepsiCo, Inc. (PepsiCo) and The Coca-Cola Company (Coca-Cola) licensing agreements. Reported segment operating profit (SOP) increased 3% reflecting net sales growth and supply chain productivity benefits partially offset by a $19 million increase in marketing, higher packaging, ingredient and transportation costs and higher LIFO-related inventory provisions. Reported income from operations for the quarter was $268 million compared to $251 million in the prior year period.

For the year, reported net sales increased 2%. Excluding the loss on the early retirements of a portion of the 6.82% 2018 notes and certain tax-related items in the current year and a net gain on certain distribution agreement changes and separation-related tax benefits in the prior year, the company earned $2.40 per diluted share, an increase of 22%, compared to $1.97 in the prior year. On a reported basis, diluted earnings per share were $2.17 in both the current and prior year.

DPS President and CEO Larry Young said, “As we look ahead, I’m encouraged by some of the improving trends we’re seeing in consumer spending and in the economy generally and by the momentum of our brands and business. We accomplished a lot in 2010, from the opening of our regional center in Victorville, Calif., to the new licensing agreements with PepsiCo and Coca-Cola, to increased availability of our products in take-home, immediate consumption and fountain. With key foundational investments now behind us, we are focused on building our people capabilities and delivering even greater customer value through our developing Rapid Continuous Improvement initiative. This, combined with strong innovation, the national launch of Sun Drop and continued marketplace investments, gives me great confidence in our ability to grow and enhance the returns of this business in 2011 and beyond.”

Beverage Concentrates

Net sales for the quarter increased 14% reflecting flat volume, lapping 8% volume growth in the prior year, concentrate pricing taken earlier in the year and favorable discount timing. Revenue recognized under the PepsiCo and Coca-Cola licensing agreements added 6 percentage points to net sales growth. SOP increased 9% reflecting net sales growth partially offset by increased marketplace investments.

Packaged Beverages

Net sales for the quarter were up 1%. Low-single digit volume growth in CSDs, mid-single digit growth in Snapple and double digit growth in Hawaiian Punch were partially offset by a mid-single digit decline in Mott’s, a high-single digit decline in contract manufacturing and the continued impact of negative product mix. SOP decreased 6% as net sales growth and ongoing supply chain productivity benefits were more than offset by higher packaging, ingredient and transportation costs and a $9 million increase in LIFO-related inventory provisions.

Latin America Beverages

Net sales for the quarter increased 1% reflecting 2% volume growth. SOP declined 31% as net sales growth was more than offset by higher packaging, ingredient and transportation costs, higher marketing investments and increased costs related to company-owned route expansion and IT infrastructure upgrades.

Corporate and other items

For the quarter, corporate costs totaled $67 million including an $8 million gain on the termination of coverage in certain U.S. post-retirement medical plans, a $3 million gain on unrealized commodity-related mark-to-market partially offset by $3 million of fees related to the Coca-Cola licensing agreements. Corporate costs in 2009 were $76 million, including $6 million of unrealized commodity-related mark-to-market gains.

For the year, unrealized commodity-related mark-to-market gains were $1 million versus $18 million in the prior year. Productivity office investments recorded in the segments, as well as corporate, were $30 million versus $29 million in the prior year.

Net interest expense decreased $51 million during the quarter reflecting lower net debt and lower interest rates and the absence of $30 million of deferred financing fees expensed in the prior year.

In December 2010, the company repurchased $476 million principal amount of its 6.82% 2018 notes. As a result, it recorded a $100 million loss on extinguishment of debt including a tender offer premium of $96 million.

For the quarter, the effective tax rate was 24.8%. Excluding the loss related to the 2018 notes tender offer, non-taxable separation-related items recorded as other income and indemnified by Kraft and certain deferred tax adjustments, the effective tax rate was 35.6%. For the year, the effective tax rate was 35.8%.

Cash flow

For the year, the company generated $2.5 billion of cash from operating activities including one-time proceeds of $900 million from PepsiCo and $715 million from Coca-Cola. Capital spending totaled $246 million. The company repaid $881 million of its debt obligations and returned $1.3 billion to shareholders in the form of stock repurchases ($1.1 billion) and dividends ($194 million).

2011 full year guidance

The company expects full year reported net sales to increase 3% to 5% and diluted earnings per
share to be in the $2.70 to $2.78 range.

Packaging and ingredient costs are expected to increase COGS between 6% and 7%, on a constant volume/mix basis.

The company expects its tax rate to be approximately 35%, including an $18 million benefit related to the PepsiCo and Coca-Cola transactions.

Having completed key foundational investments, the company now expects capital spending to be approximately 4.5% of net sales.

Impact of the PepsiCo licensing agreements

On Feb. 26, 2010, the company completed its licensing agreements with PepsiCo. Under these agreements, PepsiCo began distributing Dr Pepper, Crush and Schweppes in the U.S. territories where these brands were previously distributed by The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc. (PBG) and PepsiAmericas, Inc. (PAS). The same applies to Dr Pepper, Crush, Schweppes, Vernors and Sussex in Canada, and Squirt and Canada Dry in Mexico. These agreements have an initial term of 20 years, with 20-year renewal periods, and require PepsiCo to meet certain performance conditions.

Additionally, effective April 19, 2010, in certain U.S. territories where it has a manufacturing and distribution footprint, the company began selling certain owned and licensed brands, including Sunkist soda, Squirt, Vernors and Hawaiian Punch, that were previously distributed by PBG and PAS.

The one-time cash payment of $900 million, received Feb. 26, 2010, was recorded as deferred revenue and is being recognized as net sales over 25 years. The company recognized $9 million of revenue in the fourth quarter and $30 million for the year.

Impact of the Coca-Cola Company licensing agreements

On Oct. 4, 2010, the company completed its licensing agreements with Coca-Cola. Under the new agreements, KO began distributing Dr Pepper in the U.S. and Canada Dry in the Northeast U.S. where they were previously distributed by Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE). These agreements have an initial term of 20 years, with 20-year renewal periods, and require Coca-Cola to meet certain performance conditions. KO will distribute Canada Dry, C’Plus and Schweppes in Canada, will offer Dr Pepper and Diet Dr Pepper in local fountain accounts previously serviced by CCE and will include Dr Pepper and Diet Dr Pepper on its Freestyle fountain dispenser.

Additionally, effective Jan. 7, 2011, in certain U.S. territories where it has a manufacturing and distribution footprint, the company began selling Squirt, Canada Dry, Schweppes and Cactus Cooler, which were previously sold by CCE.

The one-time cash payment of $715 million was received on Oct. 4, 2010, was recorded as deferred revenue and is being recognized as net sales over 25 years. The company recognized $7 million of revenue in the fourth quarter and year.
