DR PEPPER SNAPPLE GROUP REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2017 RESULTS
Net Sales increased 4% in the quarter.
Reported EPS were $1.11, inclusive of a loss on early extinguishment of debt, an estimated loss on the recent hurricanes and earthquakes in the U.S. and Mexico and a previously disclosed write-off of prepaid resin inventory.
Core EPS were $1.10 in the quarter, inclusive of the aforementioned losses related to the recent natural disasters and the prepaid resin inventory write-off.
Company now expects full year 2017 Core EPS guidance in the $4.50 - $4.57 range.
Plano, TX, October 25, 2017 - Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc. (NYSE: DPS) reported third quarter 2017 EPS of $1.11, which included a $0.04 per diluted share loss on early extinguishment of debt, an estimated $0.02 loss on the recent hurricanes and earthquakes in the U.S. and Mexico, and a $0.02 loss on a write-off of prepaid resin inventory. Reported EPS were $1.29 in the prior year period. Core EPS were $1.10 in the quarter, inclusive of the aforementioned losses totaling $0.04, compared to $1.17 in the prior year period. Year-to-date, net sales increased by 4% and the company reported earnings of $3.09 per diluted share, including a $0.23 loss on debt extinguishment compared to $3.64 per diluted share in the prior year period. Core EPS were $3.36 compared to $3.35 in the prior year period.

DPS President and CEO Larry Young said, “We continue to make progress in the execution of our priority brand strategy, including our brand building platform and channel strategies for Bai, even though we had markets that were significantly disrupted by hurricanes and earthquakes in the U.S. and Mexico. Our CSD portfolio continued to perform well in the quarter, growing both dollar and volume share in the category and our allied portfolio continues to drive strong growth across the business.”

For the quarter, sales volumes increased 1%, inclusive of the Bai acquisition. Reported net sales increased 4%, including the Bai acquisition, which accounted for over 1 percentage point of net sales growth. Total Bai brand sales growth contributed over 2 percentage points of net sales growth. Organic net sales growth was driven by favorable product and package mix, an increase in organic sales volumes, favorable foreign currency translation and price increases. These increases were partially offset by unfavorable segment mix, the termination of the Rockstar distribution rights and higher discounts, primarily as a result of an unfavorable comparison of a true-up of our customer incentive liability.

Reported gross profit margin increased 10 basis points primarily on a favorable $3 million comparison of unrealized mark-to-market activity. Core gross profit margin decreased 10 basis points to 58.9% as the impact of a $6 million prepaid resin inventory write-off, an unfavorable change of $5 million in our LIFO inventory provision driven primarily by apples, net unfavorable mix and increases in

manufacturing costs were partially offset by $33 million of incremental gross profit from the Bai acquisition.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) increased $37 million in the quarter. The acquisition of Bai added $38 million, including $20 million in marketing investments. SG&A also increased as a result of inflationary increases in certain operating expenses and continued planned investment behind our DSD front-line sales, delivery, and merchandising workforce, which were partially offset by a favorable $6 million comparison of unrealized commodity mark-to-market activity in the quarter.

Other operating income decreased $3 million in the quarter due primarily to the prior year non-cash gain on the step-acquisition of our joint venture Aguafiel business in Mexico.

Reported income from operations declined by $6 million, or 2%, in the quarter. The acquisition of Bai reduced reported income from operations by $6 million. Core income from operations of $350 million in the quarter compared to $364 million in the prior year period.

The recent hurricanes and earthquakes in the U.S. and Mexico are estimated to have decreased volume and net sales by about 0.5% and core income from operations by about 2% in the quarter. The resulting decrease in Core EPS was $0.02 per diluted share in the quarter.

For the quarter, BCS volume was flat, with carbonated soft drinks (CSDs) decreasing 1% and non-carbonated beverages (NCBs) increasing 6%.

Our volume performance in the quarter was negatively impacted by about 0.5% as a result of the recent natural disasters.

In CSDs, Dr Pepper decreased 2% with declines in both regular and diet due primarily to timing of orders for a large customer in fountain foodservice. 7UP decreased 8% driven by reduced retail activity compared to the prior year. Schweppes decreased 1% as declines in sparkling water were partially offset by continued growth in ginger ale. A&W decreased 1%, and other CSDs declined 3% primarily due to the loss of Rockstar distribution rights. Canada Dry grew by 2% on continued growth in the ginger ale category. Peñafiel increased 5% on distribution gains and product and package innovation, and Squirt grew 1%. Fountain foodservice volume declined 3%.

In NCBs, Bai increased 108% on the acquisition and continued growth in our existing distribution.

Beverage Concentrates
Net sales increased 3% in the quarter on concentrate price increases taken earlier in the year, a 1% increase in concentrate shipments and lower discounts. SOP increased 6% on net sales growth.

Packaged Beverages
Net sales increased 3% in the quarter on favorable product and package mix, mostly due to growth in our NCBs, including continued growth in our allied brands, and growth from the Bai acquisition. This increase was partially offset by the loss of Rockstar distribution rights and higher discounts, primarily as a result of an unfavorable comparison of a true-up of our customer incentive liability. SOP decreased 9% as results of the acquired Bai business, excluding the distribution profits within our distribution system, were a loss of $5 million, including $20 million of marketing investments.

Additionally, inflationary increases in other operating expenses, as well as planned increases in operating costs behind our DSD front-line workforce, and an unfavorable change of $5 million in our LIFO inventory provision driven primarily by apples, were incurred in the quarter.

Latin America Beverages
Net sales increased 5% in the quarter on a 2% increase in sales volumes and higher pricing. SOP decreased 43% in the quarter primarily due to a $6 million write-off of prepaid resin inventory, representing a 29% decline in SOP, resulting from the contractual default by a supplier of resin to our operations in Mexico, and unfavorable foreign currency transaction effects. In the quarter, the segment incurred $4 million of higher U.S. dollar denominated input costs, which caused a 19% decline in SOP.

Corporate and Other Items
For the quarter, corporate costs totaled $52 million, which included $18 million in unrealized commodity mark-to-market gains. Corporate costs in the prior year period were $64 million, which included $9 million in unrealized commodity mark-to-market gains.

Net interest expense increased $7 million in the quarter primarily driven by a higher debt balance associated with the Bai acquisition.

The company recognized a $13 million loss on the early extinguishment of debt in the quarter.
   
For the quarter, the reported effective tax rate was 36.0%. The effective tax rate in the prior year period was 29.7%, which included a $17 million tax benefit associated with a legal entity restructuring.

Cash Flow
Year-to-date, the company generated $732 million of cash from operating activities compared to $705 million in the prior year period. Capital spending totaled $85 million compared to $110 million in the prior year period. The company returned $629 million to shareholders in the form of stock repurchases ($320 million) and dividends ($309 million).

2017 Full Year Guidance includes the following items:

Organic volume growth is now expected to be over 1%; total volume growth is still expected to be approximately 2%, inclusive of the Bai acquisition, which closed on January 31, 2017.
          
Net sales growth is still expected to be about 4.5%, including the Bai acquisition, which is now expected to add over 1 percentage point to growth.

The impact of the Bai acquisition is now expected to be $0.11 dilutive to Core EPS.

The recent hurricanes and earthquakes in the U.S. and Mexico are expected to reduce Core EPS by $0.02.

Collectively, foreign currency translation and transaction are now expected to reduce Core EPS by $0.02, primarily driven by the Mexican peso.

Excluding the Bai acquisition, we expect packaging and ingredient costs to be inflationary by over 0.5% on a constant volume/mix basis, including the impact from higher resin prices in the fourth quarter.

The company continues to expect its full year core tax rate to be approximately 34%.

The company continues to expect to repurchase shares of its common stock of $450 million to $500 million.

The company continues to expect capital spending to be approximately 3% of net sales.

Taking the above items into consideration, the company now expects 2017 Core EPS in the $4.50 to $4.57 range.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This Press Release may contain certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, as defined in Regulation G, relating to forward-looking results. We have not provided a reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures included therein to the closest equivalent GAAP financial measure because, due primarily to variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projection, not all of the information necessary to forecast and quantify the exact amount of the items excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures that will be included in the closest equivalent GAAP financial measure was or is available to us without unreasonable efforts.

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 third quarter comprising July, August and September.

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.

Organic: Represents the incremental impact to our results from our pre-existing business prior to the acquisition of Bai.

Bai acquisition, the Bai acquisition or acquisition of Bai: Refers to our acquisition of the Bai Brands business by DPS, which was consummated on January 31, 2017, and the operation of Bai subsequent to the acquisition. In part because we were an investor in Bai Brands and were their largest distributor, there were many financial aspects of the acquisition, which impacted our financial statements and our accounting for the transaction as explained in this Press Release.
 
Pricing refers to the impact of list price changes.

Unrealized mark-to-market: We recognize the change in the fair value of open commodity and interest rate derivative positions not designated as hedges in accordance with U.S. GAAP. As the underlying commodity is delivered, the realized gains and losses associated with commodity derivatives are subsequently reflected in the segment results.

EPS represents diluted earnings per share.

Core financial measures are determined utilizing reported financial numbers adjusted for the unrealized mark-to-market impact of commodity and interest rate derivatives and certain items that are excluded for comparison to prior year periods.

Core metrics are determined based on the core financial measures.

Net sales and segment operating profit, as adjusted to currency neutral: Net sales and segment operating profit are calculated on a currency neutral basis by converting our current-period local currency financial results using the prior-period foreign currency exchange rates.

Loss on the recent hurricanes and earthquakes in the U.S. and Mexico were estimated primarily utilizing prior performance adjusted for current year growth, and average rates per case.

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 to currency neutral: Net sales and Segment Operating Profit are calculated on a currency neutral basis by converting our current-period local currency financial results using the prior-period foreign currency exchange rates.
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. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, there were no certain items excluded for comparison to prior year periods.
Core earnings: Core earnings is defined as net income adjusted for the unrealized mark-to-market impact of commodity derivatives and interest rate derivatives not designated as hedges in accordance with U.S. GAAP and certain items that are excluded for comparison to prior year periods, adjusted for the tax impact. Tax impact is determined based upon an approximate rate for each item. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we excluded (i) the impact of transaction and integration expenses associated with the Bai Brands Merger and (ii) the loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the completion of a tender offer for our 2018 Notes and 2038 Notes and the redemption of our remaining 2018 Notes. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we excluded (i) a gain on the extinguishment of a multi-employer withdrawal liability and (ii) an income tax benefit driven by a restructuring of the ownership of our Canadian business.
The tables on the following pages provide these reconciliations.
