DR PEPPER SNAPPLE GROUP REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2013 RESULTS

Reported EPS were $.51, up 6% for the quarter. Core EPS were $.53, up 15% for the quarter.

Year-to-date, the company returned $171 million to shareholders.

Net sales increased 1% for the quarter.

Company reaffirms full year 2013 Net Sales and Core EPS guidance.

Plano, TX, April 24, 2013 - Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc. (NYSE: DPS) reported first quarter 2013 EPS of $0.51 compared to $0.48 in the prior year period. Excluding an unrealized commodity mark-to-market loss in the current year and an unrealized commodity mark-to-market gain in the prior year period, Core EPS were $0.53 compared to $0.46 in the prior year.

For the quarter, reported net sales increased 1% reflecting positive price/mix and favorable discounts, partially offset by a 2% decline in sales volumes. Reported segment operating profit (SOP) increased 7%, or $19 million, as the contributions from net sales growth, ongoing productivity improvements and a lower LIFO inventory provision of $7 million were partially offset by cost increases in commodities, principally apples, and planned increases in labor and benefits. Reported income from operations for the quarter was $197 million, including $7 million of unrealized commodity mark-to-market losses. Reported income from operations was $192 million in the prior year period, including $6 million of unrealized commodity mark-to-market gains.

DPS President and CEO Larry Young said, “Once again we grew both volume and dollar share in CSDs in Nielsen measured markets and we continued to expand distribution on our tea and juice portfolios. Despite continued category headwinds, a fragile US consumer and abnormally cold weather across the Northeast and Midwest, our business results remained solid for the quarter. The launch of the Core 4 and RC TEN platform is well underway and we have seen some early success in the accounts where we currently have distribution. The TEN advertising campaign began airing in mid-March, letting consumers know that they can get both great taste and lower calories with TEN. I remain confident that we will deliver our commitments for the year as our organization continues to embrace Rapid Continuous Improvement and our TEN platform continues to gain traction with both consumers and retailers.”

For the quarter, BCS volume declined 2% with carbonated soft drinks (CSDs) declining 2% and non-carbonated beverages (NCBs) declining 4%.

In CSDs, Dr Pepper volume decreased 3% with declines on both the base business and Dr Pepper TEN, as we cycled inventory builds from the national launch.

Fountain foodservice volume declined 1% in the quarter.

In NCBs, Hawaiian Punch declined 14%. Snapple decreased 2% on price increases and lower promotional activity associated with the launch of Diet Half 'n Half Lemonade Iced Tea. These declines were partially offset by an 11% increase in Mott's, as we continued to gain distribution on key packages.

Beverage Concentrates

Net sales for the quarter increased 4% as concentrate price increases, positive mix and favorable discount timing were partially offset by a 1% sales volume decline. SOP increased 10% reflecting net sales growth and lower marketing investments as we cycled the Dr Pepper TEN launch in the prior year period.

Packaged Beverages

Net sales were flat for the quarter as positive mix, price increases and a favorable discount comparison were offset by a 4% sales volume decline. SOP increased 2% as a lower LIFO inventory provision of $7 million and ongoing productivity improvements were partially offset by cost increases in commodities, principally apples.

Latin America Beverages

Net sales for the quarter increased 6% reflecting favorable mix, price increases and a 1% increase in sales volume. SOP increased 11% reflecting net sales growth and ongoing RCI productivity improvements which were partially offset by increased marketing investments and higher manufacturing costs.

Corporate and other items

For the quarter, corporate costs totaled $80 million, including a $7 million unrealized commodity mark-to-market loss. Corporate costs in the prior year period were $65 million, including a $6 million unrealized commodity mark-to-market gain.

Net interest expense increased $2 million for the quarter compared to the prior year period.

For the quarter, the effective tax rate was 36.1% compared to 37.4% in the prior year period.

Cash flow

For the quarter, the company generated $60 million of cash from operating activities. Capital spending totaled $29 million compared to $51 million in the prior year period. The company returned $171 million to shareholders in the form of stock repurchases ($101 million) and dividends ($70 million).

2013 full year guidance

The company continues to expect full year reported net sales growth of approximately 3% and diluted earnings per share to be in the $3.04 to $3.12 range, excluding the impact of commodity mark-to-market gains and losses.

Brand investments associated with the launch of our TEN platform are expected to exceed $30 million.

Packaging and ingredient costs are expected to increase COGS by 2%, on a constant volume/mix basis.

The company now expects its effective tax rate to be just under 37%.

The company expects capital spending to be approximately 3.5% of net sales.

Definitions

Bottler case sales (BCS) volume: Sales of finished beverages, in equivalent 288 fluid ounce cases, sold by the company and its bottling partners to retailers and independent distributors and excludes contract manufacturing volume. Volume for products sold by the company and its bottling partners is reported on a monthly basis, with the first quarter comprising January, February and March.

Sales volume: Sales of concentrates and finished beverages, in equivalent 288 fluid ounce cases, shipped by the company to its bottlers, retailers and independent distributors and includes contract manufacturing volume.

Pricing refers to the impact of list price changes.

Unrealized mark-to-market: We recognize the change in the fair value of open commodity derivative positions between periods in corporate unallocated expenses, as these instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. As the underlying commodity is delivered, the realized gains and losses are subsequently reflected in the segment results.

EPS represents diluted earnings per share.

Core Earnings is defined as earnings adjusted for the unrealized mark-to-market impact of commodity derivatives and certain items that are excluded for comparison to prior year periods.

Core EPS represents Core Earnings per share.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP AND NON-GAAP INFORMATION

(Unaudited)

The company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, management believes that certain non-GAAP 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 quarterly results:

Net sales and Segment Operating Profit, as adjusted: Net sales and Segment Operating Profit are on a currency neutral basis.

Free Cash Flow: Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for capital spending and certain items excluded for comparison to prior year periods. The certain item excluded for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, relates to the tax payments resulting from the licensing agreements with PepsiCo and Coca-Cola.

Core Earnings: Core Earnings is defined as Reported Earnings adjusted for the unrealized mark-to-market impact of commodity derivatives and certain items that are excluded for comparison to prior year periods. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no certain items excluded for comparison to prior year periods.

The tables on the following pages provide these reconciliations.
