Keurig Dr Pepper said it earned 35 cents per share in the quarter on revenue of $2.93 billion versus expectations of 35 cents per share and $2.96 billion. Net sales were up 4.3% in the quarter due to a higher volume/mix of 5.3% and a foreign currency benefit of 0.1%, partially offset by unfavorable net price realization of 0.7%.
The company noted it saw market share gains in the quarter across multiple cold beverage categories. Retail consumption of single-serve coffee pods manufacturing by Keurig Dr Pepper grew by nearly 4%, according to industry data. The company said this tracking would be consistent with a 10% coffee pod shipment volume growth in the quarter.
Why It's Important
Keurig Dr Pepper noted its performance was "healthy across our portfolio" due to innovation, marketing, and in-store execution. Free cash flow in the quarter was described as "robust" which helps ongoing deleveraging.
