PURCHASE, N.Y. - April 26, 2018 - PepsiCo, Inc. (NASDAQ: PEP) today reported results for the first quarter 2018.
“We generated solid overall results in the first quarter. The majority of our businesses performed very well, including particularly strong performances in our international divisions propelled by accelerated net revenue growth in developing and emerging markets,” said Chairman and CEO Indra Nooyi. “Although we continued to face challenges in North America Beverages, the sector had sequential improvement in top line momentum since the fourth quarter of 2017. We continued investing in and growing share in a number of faster-growing, future-facing categories. However, competitively we recognize the need to step up investments in core carbonated soft drinks, which we intend to responsibly do. We believe our plans will drive further improvement as the year progresses. Importantly, we remain on track to achieve the financial targets we set out at the beginning of the year.”

Summary of First Quarter Financial Performance:
• | Reported first quarter and year-ago results were impacted by restructuring charges and commodity mark-to-market impacts. See A-6 to A-8 for further details. |
• | Reported net revenue increased 4.3 percent. Foreign exchange translation had a 2-percentage-point favorable impact on reported net revenue growth. Organic revenue, which excludes the impacts of foreign exchange translation, structural and other changes, grew 2.3 percent. |
• | Reported gross margin contracted 110 basis points and core gross margin contracted 75 basis points. Reported and core operating margin each contracted 110 basis points. |
• | Reported operating profit declined 3 percent and core constant currency operating profit declined 5 percent. Commodity mark-to-market net impact negatively impacted reported operating profit performance by 6 percentage points and lower restructuring charges positively contributed to reported operating profit performance by 6 percentage points. Foreign currency translation positively contributed 2 percentage points to reported operating profit performance. Both reported and core operating profit performances were negatively impacted by a bonus extended to certain U.S. employees in connection with the Tax Cuts and Job Act (TCJ Act) by 4.5 percentage points. |
• | The reported and core effective tax rates were 18.3 percent in the first quarter of 2018. The reported and core effective tax rates in the first quarter of 2017 were 22.7 percent and 22.5 percent, respectively. The decrease is primarily as a result of the reduced U.S. corporate income tax rate related to the enactment of the TCJ Act. |
• | During the first quarter of 2018, we recorded an additional provisional transition tax expense of $1 million, reflecting the impact of actions taken by states within the United States that adopted the TCJ Act. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2018, the Internal Revenue Service issued new transition tax guidance. As a result of this guidance, we expect to record additional provisional transition tax expense in the second quarter of 2018 of approximately $700-$800 million. |
• | Reported EPS was $0.94, an increase of 3 percent over the first quarter of 2017. Foreign exchange translation contributed 2 percentage points to EPS growth. |
4
• | Core EPS was $0.96, an increase of 3 percent over the first quarter of 2017. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange translation, core constant currency EPS was even with the prior-year period (see schedule A-11 for a reconciliation to reported EPS, the comparable GAAP measure). |
• | Net cash used in operating activities was $1.3 billion. |

Discussion of First Quarter 2018 Division Results:
In addition to the reported net revenue performance as set out in the tables on pages 3 and A-9, reported operating results were driven by the following:
Frito-Lay North America (FLNA)
Negatively impacted by operating cost inflation, as well as a bonus extended to certain U.S. employees in connection with the TCJ Act and higher raw material costs, which decreased operating profit performance by 4 percentage points and 2 percentage points, respectively. These impacts were offset by productivity gains.
Quaker Foods North America (QFNA)
Negatively impacted by operating cost inflation, as well as higher raw material costs and a bonus extended to certain U.S. employees in connection with the TCJ Act, which decreased operating profit performance by 3 percentage points and 1 percentage point, respectively. These impacts were partially offset by productivity gains and lower advertising and marketing expenses.
North America Beverages (NAB)
Negatively impacted by operating cost inflation, as well as higher raw material costs and a bonus extended to certain U.S. employees in connection with the TCJ Act, which each decreased operating profit performance by 8 percentage points. These impacts were partially offset by productivity gains and lower advertising and marketing expenses, as well as a gain on the sale of an asset that positively contributed 3.5 percentage points to operating profit performance.
Latin America
Positively impacted by productivity gains, lower restructuring charges and favorable foreign exchange, as well as insurance settlement recoveries related to the 2017 earthquake in Mexico which contributed 5 percentage points to operating profit growth. These impacts were partially offset by operating cost inflation and higher advertising and marketing expenses, as well as higher raw material costs which reduced operating profit growth by 10 percentage points.
Europe Sub-Saharan Africa (ESSA)
Positively impacted by productivity gains and favorable foreign exchange, partially offset by operating cost inflation, higher advertising and marketing expenses, as well as higher raw material costs, which reduced operating profit growth by 5 percentage points.
Asia, Middle East and North Africa (AMENA)
Positively impacted by productivity gains and favorable foreign exchange, partially offset by operating cost inflation, higher restructuring charges, as well as higher raw material costs, and the
6
impact of refranchising our beverage business in Jordan, which reduced operating profit growth by 3 percentage points and 2.5 percentage points, respectively.

2018 Guidance and Outlook
The Company provides guidance on a non-GAAP basis as the Company cannot predict certain elements which are included in reported GAAP results, including the impact of foreign exchange translation and commodity mark-to-market impacts.
Consistent with its previous guidance for 2018, the Company expects:
• | Full-year organic revenue growth to be at least in line with the 2017 growth rate of 2.3 percent. |
• | Based on current market consensus rates, foreign exchange translation to have a neutral impact on revenue and earnings per share. |
• | A core effective tax rate in the “low 20s,” reflecting benefits of the TCJ Act. |
• | The benefit of the TCJ Act to be substantially reinvested in initiatives to benefit the Company’s U.S.-based front line workforce and to otherwise increase the Company’s capabilities. |
• | Core earnings per share of $5.70, a 9 percent increase compared to 2017 core earnings per share of $5.23. |
• | Approximately $9 billion in cash from operating activities and free cash flow of approximately $6 billion, which assumes net capital spending of approximately $3.6 billion and a discretionary pension contribution of $1.4 billion. |
• | Total cash returns to shareholders of approximately $7 billion. Total dividends to shareholders are expected to be approximately $5 billion and share repurchases are expected to be approximately $2 billion. |
Conference Call:
At 7:45 a.m. (Eastern Time) today, the Company will host a conference call with investors and financial analysts to discuss first quarter 2018 results and the outlook for 2018. Further details will be accessible on the Company’s website at www.pepsico.com/investors.

Non-GAAP Measures
In discussing financial results and guidance, the Company refers to the following measures which are not in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP): division operating profit, core results, core constant currency results, free cash flow, free cash flow excluding certain items, and organic results. We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally to make operating and strategic decisions, including the preparation of our annual operating plan, evaluation of our overall business performance and as a factor in determining compensation for certain employees. We believe presenting non-GAAP financial measures provides additional information to facilitate comparison of our historical operating results and trends in our underlying operating results, and provides additional transparency on how we evaluate our business. We also believe presenting these measures allows investors to view our performance using the same measures that we use in evaluating our financial and business performance and trends.
We consider quantitative and qualitative factors in assessing whether to adjust for the impact of items that may be significant or that could affect an understanding of our ongoing financial and business performance or trends. Examples of items for which we may make adjustments include: amounts related to mark-to-market gains or losses (non-cash); charges related to restructuring programs; charges or adjustments related to the enactment of new laws, rules or regulations, such as significant tax law changes; gains or losses associated with mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and other structural changes; debt redemptions; pension and retiree medical related items; amounts related to the resolution of tax positions; asset impairments (non-cash); and remeasurements of net monetary assets. See below for a description of adjustments to our U.S. GAAP financial measures included herein.
Non-GAAP information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as or comparable to similar non-GAAP measures presented by other companies.
Glossary
We use the following definitions when referring to our non-GAAP financial measures, which may not be the same as or comparable to similar measures presented by other companies:
Acquisitions and divestitures: All mergers and acquisitions activity, including the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and changes in ownership or control in consolidated subsidiaries and nonconsolidated equity investees.
Beverage volume: Volume shipped to retailers and independent distributors from both PepsiCo and our bottlers.
Constant currency: Financial results assuming constant foreign currency exchange rates used for translation based on the rates in effect for the comparable prior-year period. In order to compute our constant currency results, we multiply or divide, as appropriate, our current year U.S. dollar results by the current year average foreign exchange rates and then multiply or divide, as appropriate, those amounts by the prior year average foreign exchange rates.
Core: Core results are non-GAAP financial measures which exclude certain items from our historical results. For the periods presented, core results exclude the following items:
Commodity mark-to-market net impact
Change in market value for commodity derivatives that we purchase to mitigate the volatility in costs of energy and raw materials that we consume. The market value is determined based on average prices on national exchanges and recently reported transactions in the marketplace.
In the 12 weeks ended March 24, 2018, we recognized $31 million of mark-to-market net losses on commodity derivatives in corporate unallocated expenses. In the 12 weeks ended March 25, 2017, we recognized $14 million of mark-to-market net losses on commodity derivatives in corporate unallocated expenses. In the year ended December 30, 2017, we recognized $15 million of mark-to-market net gains on commodity derivatives in corporate unallocated expenses. We centrally manage commodity derivatives on behalf of our divisions. These commodity derivatives include agricultural products, energy and metals. Commodity derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are marked to market each period with the resulting gains and losses recorded in corporate unallocated expenses as either cost of sales or selling, general and administrative expenses, depending on the underlying commodity. These gains and losses are subsequently reflected in division results when the divisions recognize the cost of the underlying commodity in operating profit.
Restructuring and impairment charges
2014 Multi-Year Productivity Plan
In the 12 weeks ended March 24, 2018, we incurred restructuring charges of $12 million ($8 million in selling, general and administrative expenses and $4 million in other pension and retiree medical benefits income) in conjunction with the multi-
A - 6
year productivity plan we publicly announced in 2014 (2014 Productivity Plan). In the 12 weeks ended March 25, 2017, we incurred restructuring charges of $27 million ($26 million in selling, general and administrative expenses and $1 million in other pension and retiree medical benefits income) in conjunction with our 2014 Productivity Plan. In the year ended December 30, 2017, we incurred restructuring charges of $295 million ($229 million in selling, general and administrative expenses and $66 million in other pension and retiree medical benefits income) in conjunction with our 2014 Productivity Plan. The 2014 Productivity Plan includes the next generation of productivity initiatives that we believe will strengthen our beverage, food and snack businesses by: accelerating our investment in manufacturing automation; further optimizing our global manufacturing footprint, including closing certain manufacturing facilities; re-engineering our go-to-market systems in developed markets; expanding shared services; and implementing simplified organization structures to drive efficiency. To build on the 2014 Productivity Plan, in the fourth quarter of 2017, we expanded and extended the program through the end of 2019 to take advantage of additional opportunities within the initiatives described above to further strengthen our beverage, food and snack businesses.
Provisional net tax expense related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJ Act)
During the fourth quarter of 2017, the TCJ Act was enacted in the United States. Among its many provisions, the TCJ Act imposed a mandatory one-time transition tax on undistributed international earnings and reduced the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018. As a result of the enactment of the TCJ Act, we recognized a provisional transition tax expense of $1 million in the first quarter of 2018, in addition to the provisional net tax expense of $2.5 billion recognized in the fourth quarter of 2017.
The changes in the TCJ Act are broad and complex and we continue to examine the impact the TCJ Act may have on our business and financial results. The recorded impact of the TCJ Act is provisional and the final amount may differ from the above estimates, possibly materially, due to, among other things, changes in estimates, interpretations and assumptions we have made, changes in Internal Revenue Service interpretations, the issuance of new guidance, legislative actions, changes in accounting standards or related interpretations in response to the TCJ Act and future actions by states within the United States that have not currently adopted the TCJ Act.
Division operating profit: The aggregation of the operating profit for each of our reportable segments, which excludes the impact of corporate unallocated expenses.
Effective net pricing: Reflects the year-over-year impact of discrete pricing actions, sales incentive activities and mix resulting from selling varying products in different package sizes and in different countries.
Free cash flow: Net cash provided by operating activities less capital spending, plus sales of property, plant and equipment. Since net capital spending is essential to our product innovation initiatives and maintaining our operational capabilities, we believe that it is a recurring and necessary use of cash. As such, we believe investors should also consider net capital spending when evaluating our cash from operating activities.
Free cash flow is used by us primarily for financing activities, including debt repayments, dividends and share repurchases. Free cash flow is not a measure of cash available for discretionary expenditures since we have certain non-discretionary obligations such as debt service that are not deducted from the measure.
Free cash flow excluding certain items: Free cash flow, excluding payments related to restructuring charges, discretionary pension and retiree medical contributions and the related net cash tax benefits. As free cash flow excluding certain items is an important measure used to monitor our cash flow performance, we believe this non-GAAP measure provides investors additional useful information when evaluating our cash from operating activities. See below for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure in accordance with U.S. GAAP (operating cash flow). In future years, we expect this measure to exclude payments related to the provisional mandatory transition tax liability of approximately $5 billion, which we currently expect to be paid over the period 2019 to 2026 under the provisions of the TCJ Act.
Net capital spending: Capital spending less cash proceeds from sales of property, plant and equipment.
Organic: A measure that adjusts for impacts of acquisitions, divestitures and other structural changes and foreign exchange translation. Additionally, our fiscal 2018 reported results reflect the accounting policy election taken in conjunction with the adoption of the revenue recognition guidance to exclude from net revenue and cost of sales all sales, use, value-added and certain excise taxes assessed by governmental authorities on revenue-producing transactions not already excluded. Our 2018 fiscal year organic revenue growth will exclude the impact of approximately $75 million of these taxes previously recognized in net revenue.
Raw material costs: Raw materials include the principal ingredients we use in our beverage, food and snack products, our key packaging materials and energy costs.

2018 guidance
Our 2018 organic revenue growth guidance excludes the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and other structural changes, sales and certain other taxes and foreign exchange translation. Our 2018 core tax rate guidance and 2018 core constant currency EPS growth guidance exclude the commodity mark-to-market net impact included in corporate unallocated expenses and restructuring and impairment charges. Our 2018 core constant currency EPS growth guidance also excludes the impact of foreign exchange translation. We are unable to reconcile our full year projected 2018 organic revenue growth to our full year projected 2018 reported net revenue growth because we are unable to predict the 2018 impact of foreign exchange due to the unpredictability of future changes in foreign exchange rates and because we are unable to predict the occurrence or impact of any acquisitions, divestitures or other structural changes. We are also not able to reconcile our full year projected 2018 core tax rate to our full year projected 2018 reported tax rate and our full year projected 2018 core constant currency EPS growth to our full year projected 2018 reported EPS growth because we are unable to predict the 2018 impact of foreign exchange or the mark-to-market net impact on commodity derivatives due to the unpredictability of future changes in foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. Therefore, we are unable to provide a reconciliation of these measures.
