BURLINGTON, Mass. and FRISCO, Texas, April 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (NASDAQ: KDP) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021 and increased its outlook for 2021 net sales growth to 4% to 6%, from the Company's prior net sales guidance of 3% to 4%. KDP also reaffirmed its guidance for full-year Adjusted diluted EPS growth of 13% to 15%.
Net sales in the first quarter of 2021 advanced approximately 11% on both a GAAP and constant currency basis, with each of the Company's business segments reporting strong growth. GAAP diluted earnings per share more than doubled to $0.23 and Adjusted1 diluted EPS grew to $0.33, a double-digit increase versus year-ago.
Commenting on the announcement, Chairman and CEO Bob Gamgort stated, "We delivered an exceptional first quarter, driving double-digit net sales and earnings growth, behind outstanding in-market execution. Looking forward, we see an improving, but volatile, macro environment marked by increasing consumer mobility and rising inflationary headwinds. We remain focused on delivering our business plan, with increased net sales growth expectations and growing confidence in achieving our Adjusted diluted EPS growth target of 13% to 15% for the year, and we plan to reinvest any earnings upside in the business to drive future growth."
First Quarter Consolidated Results
Net sales for the first quarter of 2021 increased 11.1% to $2.90 billion, compared to $2.61 billion in the year-ago period, driven by strong growth in each business segment, particularly Coffee Systems. On a constant currency basis, net sales advanced 10.8%, reflecting higher volume/mix of 10.3% and favorable net price realization of 0.5%.
KDP in-market performance in the quarter remained strong, with retail dollar consumption2 advancing 9.4% across the Company's cold beverage retail base, with particular strength in CSDs3, premium unflavored water, teas, juice drinks, apple juice, vegetable juice, mixers, and coconut water. This performance reflected the strength of Dr Pepper, Canada Dry, A&W, 7UP, and Sunkist CSDs, CORE hydration, Snapple teas and fruit drinks, Clamato vegetable juice, Motts apple juice, and Vita Coco. On a two-year stacked basis, consumption of KDP's cold beverage portfolio increased 17%.
In coffee, retail consumption of single-serve pods manufactured by KDP in IRi tracked channels increased 3.9% in the quarter and dollar market share advanced to 83%. In untracked channels, accelerated e-commerce growth of K-Cup pods continued in the quarter, more than offsetting declines in the away-from-home office and hospitality businesses. On a two-year stacked basis, retail consumption of single-serve pods manufactured by KDP increased 11% in IRi tracked channels.
GAAP operating income increased 37% to $640 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared to $466 million in the year-ago period, reflecting the growth in net sales, productivity and merger synergies, lower marketing spending in relation to pre-COVID investment levels in the year-ago period and the favorable year-over-year impact of items affecting comparability. These drivers were partially offset by higher operating expenses associated with increased consumer demand and inflation in logistics and input costs, as well as the unfavorable comparison to a $42 million gain recorded in the year-ago period on the sale-leaseback of four facilities.
Adjusted operating income in the first quarter of 2021 totaled $741 million, an increase of 8.3%, compared to $684 million in the year-ago period, which included the benefit of the aforementioned sale-leaseback gain – this gain negatively impacted the year-over-year Adjusted operating income growth rate by more than seven percentage points. On a percent of net sales basis, Adjusted operating income was 25.5% in the first quarter of 2021, compared to Adjusted operating margin of 26.2% in the year-ago period, a decline of 70 basis points including the headwind from the year-ago gain on the sale-leaseback transaction.
GAAP net income in the first quarter of 2021 more than doubled to $325 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared to $156 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, in the year-ago period. This performance was driven by the growth in operating income, a lower effective tax rate, and lower interest expense, despite lapping a $15 million after-tax gain on interest rate swaps in the year-ago quarter. Also driving net income growth for the quarter was the favorable year-over-year impact of items affecting comparability.
Adjusted net income in the first quarter of 2021 totaled $471 million, an increase of 15%, compared to $408 million in the year-ago period, which included the after-tax benefit of the sale-leaseback gain in the year-ago period, which negatively impacted the year-over-year Adjusted net income growth rate by nearly 10 percentage points. Adjusted diluted EPS in the first quarter advanced 14% to $0.33, compared to $0.29 in the year-ago period, which included the year-ago sale-leaseback gain.
KDP generated free cash flow of $458 million in the first quarter of 2021, reflecting the growth in earnings and ongoing effective working capital management. The strong free cash flow performance enabled KDP to reduce total financial obligations by $125 million and end the first quarter of 2021 with $335 million of unrestricted cash on hand. In addition, the Company's management leverage ratio declined 0.7x to 3.5x at the end of the first quarter of 2021, compared to 4.2x in the year-ago period. Since the close of the merger in July 2018, management leverage ratio has declined by 2.5x.

First Quarter Segment Results
Coffee Systems
Net sales for the first quarter of 2021 advanced 17.4% to $1.14 billion, compared to $0.97 billion in the year-ago period. On a constant currency basis, net sales advanced 16.9%, reflecting higher volume/mix of 19.5%, partially offset by lower net price realization of 2.6%.
The volume/mix increase of 19.5% in the quarter reflected pod volume growth of 13.7% and brewer volume growth of 61%. The pod volume growth was driven by strong at-home consumption, partially offset by continued softness in the away-from-home business, as return to offices and hospitality has been slow. The brewer volume growth largely reflected strong retail consumption, primarily driven by the Company's successful brewer innovation program, as well as a benefit from shipment timing.
GAAP operating income increased 23.5% in the first quarter of 2021 to $336 million, compared to $272 million in the year-ago period, reflecting the strong growth in net sales, continued productivity and merger synergies and the favorable year-over-year impact of items affecting comparability. Partially offsetting these positive drivers was the unfavorable comparison to the sale-leaseback gain in the year-ago period that impacted the segment by $16 million, as well as inflation in logistics and input costs and slightly higher marketing spending.
Adjusted operating income in the first quarter of 2021 totaled $389 million, an increase of 12.1%, compared to $347 million in the year-ago period, which included the benefit of sale-leaseback gain – this gain negatively impacted the year-over-year Adjusted operating income growth rate by more than five percentage points. On a percent of net sales basis, Adjusted operating margin was 34.1% in the first quarter of 2021, compared to Adjusted operating margin of 35.7% in the year-ago period, a decline of 160 basis points, including negative margin mix related to the exceptionally strong brewer sales and the 170 basis point headwind from a year-ago sale-leaseback gain.
Packaged Beverages
Net sales for the first quarter of 2021 increased 7.4% to $1.31 billion, compared to $1.22 billion in the year-ago period. On a constant currency basis, net sales increased 7.2%, reflecting favorable volume/mix of 6.8% and higher net price realization of 0.4%. Leading the net sales performance were Dr Pepper, A&W, Canada Dry, Sunkist, 7UP, and Squirt CSDs, as well as growth of Snapple and Clamato, partially offset by a decline in Bai.
GAAP operating income decreased 7.4% in the first quarter of 2021 to $175 million, compared to $189 million in the year-ago period, largely reflecting the unfavorable comparison to the sale-leaseback gain in the year-ago period that impacted the segment by $26 million, as well as inflation in logistics and input costs, higher operating costs to meet continued strong consumer demand and the unfavorable year-over-year impact of items affecting comparability. Partially offsetting these drivers were the benefits of the strong growth in net sales, continued productivity and merger synergies.
Adjusted operating income in the first quarter of 2021 totaled $197 million, a decrease of 3.0%, compared to $203 million in the year-ago period, which included the benefit of the sale-leaseback gain – this gain negatively impacted the year-over-year Adjusted operating income growth rate by more than 14 percentage points. On a percent of net sales basis, Adjusted operating margin was 15.1% in the first quarter of 2021, compared to Adjusted operating margin of 16.7% the year-ago period, a decline of 160 basis points including the 220 basis point headwind from the year-ago sale-leaseback gain.
Beverage Concentrates
Net sales for the first quarter of 2021 increased 7.2% to $328 million, compared to $306 million in the year-ago period. On a constant currency basis, net sales advanced 6.5%, reflecting favorable net price realization of 7.2%, partially offset by lower volume/mix of 0.7%. This volume/mix performance continued to be primarily impacted by the fountain foodservice business with lower levels of consumer mobility in the restaurant and hospitality channels compared to last year, albeit improving since the beginning of the year.
Total shipment volume versus year-ago increased 1.0% in the quarter, as increases in Dr Pepper and A&W were partially offset by lower shipment volume in Canada Dry and Sunkist. Bottler case sales volume decreased 3.1% in the quarter compared to the year-ago period.
GAAP operating income in the first quarter of 2021 increased 20.8% to $238 million, compared to $197 million in the year-ago period, reflecting the impact of the higher net sales and lower marketing spending, partially offset by the unfavorable year-over-year impact of items affecting comparability.
Adjusted operating income increased 21.3% to $239 million, compared to $197 million in the year-ago period, and Adjusted operating margin advanced 850 basis points to 72.9%, primarily reflecting favorable net price realization.
Latin America Beverages
Net sales for the first quarter of 2021 increased 6.8% to $125 million, compared to $117 million in the year-ago period. On a constant currency basis, net sales increased 7.7%, driven by strong net price realization of 10.3%, partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix of 2.6%.
GAAP operating income in the first quarter of 2021 decreased 18.5% to $22 million, compared to $27 million in the year-ago period, reflecting the unfavorable impact of foreign currency transaction expense, inflation in logistics and the unfavorable year-over-year impact of items affecting comparability. This performance was partially offset by the growth in net sales and productivity.
Adjusted operating income decreased 15% to $23 million, compared to $27 million in the year-ago period, and, on a constant currency basis, Adjusted operating income decreased 14.8%. Adjusted operating margin in the quarter decreased 470 basis points to 18.4%, primarily reflecting the unfavorable impact of foreign currency transaction expense.
Outlook for 2021
The Company reaffirmed its guidance for Adjusted diluted EPS growth in the range of 13% to 15%, reflecting its increased guidance for constant currency net sales growth in the range of 4% to 6%, which is expected to offset growing inflationary pressures in the balance of the year. The Company continues to expect its management leverage ratio to be at or below 3.0x at year-end.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained herein are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable securities laws and regulations. These forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of words such as "outlook," "guidance," "anticipate," "expect," "believe," "could," "estimate," "feel," "forecast," "intend," "may," "plan," "potential," "project," "should," "target," "will," "would," and similar words, phrases or expressions and variations or negatives of these words, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain, such as statements regarding the estimated or anticipated future results of the combined company following the combination of Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. ("KGM") and Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc. ("DPS" and such combination, the "transaction"), the anticipated benefits of the transaction, including estimated synergies and cost savings, the long-term merger targets, and other statements that are not historical facts. These statements are based on the current expectations of our management and are not predictions of actual performance.
These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties regarding the company's business and the transaction and actual results may differ materially. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: (i) the impact the significant additional debt incurred in connection with the transaction may have on our ability to operate our business, (ii) risks relating to the integration of the KGM and DPS operations, products and employees into the combined company and assumption of certain potential liabilities of KGM and the possibility that the anticipated synergies and other benefits of the transaction, including cost savings, will not be realized or will not be realized within the expected timeframe, (iii) the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic, and (iv) risks relating to the businesses and the industries in which our combined company operates. These risks and uncertainties, as well as other risks and uncertainties, are more fully discussed in the Company's filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent filings. While the lists of risk factors presented here and in our public filings are considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Any forward-looking statement made herein speaks only as of the date of this document. We are under no obligation to, and expressly disclaim any obligation to, update or alter any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, subsequent events or otherwise, except as required by applicable laws or regulations.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures including Adjusted operating income, Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow, 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 related to the transaction and integration activities, which 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 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.
For the first quarter of 2021 and 2020, we define our Adjusted non-GAAP financial measures as certain financial statement captions and metrics adjusted for certain items affecting comparability. The items affecting comparability are defined below.
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 and do not have an offsetting risk reflected within the financial results; (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; and (vi) other certain items that are excluded for comparison purposes to prior year periods.
For the first 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.
For the first quarter of 2020, the other certain items excluded for comparison purposes include (i) restructuring and integration expenses related to significant business combinations; (ii) productivity expenses; (iii) transaction costs for significant business combinations (completed or abandoned) excluding the DPS Merger; (iv) costs related to significant non-routine legal matters; (v) the loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the redemption of debt, (vi) incremental costs to our operations related to risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and (vii) impairment recognized on equity method investment with Bedford.
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. See Impact of COVID-19 on our Financial Statements for further information.
For the first quarter of 2021 and 2020, the supplemental financial data set forth below includes reconciliations of Adjusted income from operations, Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted EPS to the applicable financial measure presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement for the same period.
Reconciliations for these items are provided in the tables below.
