Commenting on the performance, CEO Tim Cofer stated, "We delivered another strong quarter of results, with Q2 EPS exceeding our expectations. U.S. Refreshment Beverages generated double-digit top- and bottom-line growth, KDP International sequentially improved as planned, and our combined coffee platform delivered solid performance, with healthy JDE Peet's results balanced against U.S. Coffee pressures. We also made meaningful progress on our integration and separation work, including capturing initial cost synergies, advancing key organizational readiness milestones, and generating robust free cash flow to support balance sheet deleveraging. At the midpoint of the year, we remain on track to achieve our 2026 financial and transformation commitments while preparing for a successful separation in early 2027."
Second Quarter Consolidated Results
Net sales for the second quarter increased 75.6% to $7.3 billion and, on a constant currency basis, net sales advanced 74.6%. Excluding the contribution from the JDE Peet's acquisition, legacy KDP net sales increased 7.3%, driven by favorable net price realization of 4.2% and volume/mix growth of 3.1%.
GAAP operating income decreased 30.1% to $628 million, including an unfavorable year-over-year impact of items affecting comparability. Adjusted operating income increased 42.9% to $1,478 million and totaled 20.2% of net sales. The Adjusted operating income growth was driven by net sales growth, productivity savings, and the JDE Peet's acquisition, partially offset by the impact of inflationary pressures and higher SG&A expenses, including increased marketing.
GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders decreased 89.0% to $60 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, primarily driven by an unfavorable year-over-year impact of items affecting comparability, including acquisition and integration-related costs. Adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders increased 15.2% to $783 million and Adjusted diluted EPS increased 16.3% to $0.57, driven by the Adjusted operating income increase, partly offset by higher Adjusted interest expense, non-controlling interest, and earnings allocated to preferred investors.
Operating cash flow for the second quarter was $895 million and free cash flow totaled $714 million.
1 Adjusted financial metrics presented in this release are non-GAAP, excluding items affecting comparability. Adjusted growth rates are non-GAAP, excluding items affecting comparability and presented on a constant currency basis. See reconciliations of GAAP results to Adjusted results on a constant currency basis in the accompanying tables. The Company does not provide reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures, 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, which could be material. Reconciling such items would require unreasonable efforts.
Second Quarter Segment Results
U.S. Refreshment Beverages
Net sales for the second quarter increased 10.0% to $2.9 billion, driven by volume/mix growth of 6.5% and favorable net price realization of 3.5%.
GAAP operating income increased 14.9% to $857 million, including a favorable year-over-year impact of items affecting comparability. Adjusted operating income increased 11.9% to $874 million and totaled 29.9% of net sales. Adjusted operating income growth was driven by net sales growth and productivity savings, partially offset by the impact of inflationary pressures and higher SG&A expenses.
U.S. Coffee
Net sales for the second quarter decreased 3.2% to $918 million. Volume/mix declined 8.2%, including an unfavorable impact from a reporting shift of Peet's K-Cup pods into the JDE Peet's segment as a result of the acquisition. This more than offset favorable net price realization of 5.0%.
GAAP operating income decreased 36.1% to $149 million, including an unfavorable year-over-year impact of items affecting comparability, primarily due to acquisition and integration-related costs. Adjusted operating income decreased 24.7% to $225 million and totaled 24.5% of net sales. The Adjusted operating income decline was primarily due to the impact of inflationary pressures, the volume/mix decline, and increased marketing. These factors were partially offset by net price realization and productivity savings.
JDE Peet's
Net sales for the second quarter were $2.8 billion. The GAAP operating loss was $62 million, including an unfavorable impact of items affecting comparability, primarily due to acquisition and integration-related costs. Adjusted operating income was $414 million and totaled 14.8% of net sales.
The JDE Peet's acquisition closed on April 1, and therefore the segment contribution was wholly incremental to the Company on a year-over-year basis.
KDP International
Net sales for the second quarter increased 19.6% to $664 million. On a constant currency basis, net sales increased 12.4%, driven by volume/mix growth of 6.5% and favorable net price realization of 5.9%.
GAAP operating income increased 6.3% to $152 million, including a favorable year-over-year impact from currency translation. Adjusted operating income was $155 million, flat year-over-year, and totaled 23.3% of net sales. Adjusted operating income was driven by net sales growth and productivity savings, offset by cost pressures, including the Mexico beverage tax, and increased marketing.
2026 Guidance
The 2026 guidance provided below is presented on a constant currency, non-GAAP basis. The Company does not provide reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures, 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, which could be material. Reconciling such items would require unreasonable efforts.
For 2026, KDP expects net sales of $25.9-$26.4 billion and constant currency Adjusted diluted EPS growth in a low-double-digit range. This guidance is comprised of 4-6% constant currency net sales growth and 4-6% constant currency Adjusted diluted EPS growth for KDP's legacy business, as well as an incremental contribution from the JDE Peet's acquisition. At current exchange rates, foreign currency translation is forecasted to approximate a one percentage point tailwind to 2026 full year net sales and EPS growth.
The Company expects to end 2026 with a pro-forma management leverage ratio of approximately 4.1x.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, which differ from results using U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as supplements to and should not be considered replacements for, or superior to, the GAAP measures. These measures may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies, and other companies may not define the non-GAAP financial measure in the same way. Non-GAAP financial measures typically exclude certain charges, including one-time costs that are not expected to occur routinely in future periods, described by the Company as "items affecting comparability". Refer to page A-6 for the Company's description of items affecting comparability for each period presented. The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our operating and financial performance and to compare such performance to that of prior periods and to the performance of our competitors. Additionally, we use non-GAAP financial measures in making operational and financial decisions and in our budgeting and planning process. We believe that providing non-GAAP financial measures to investors helps investors evaluate our operating performance, profitability and business trends in a way that is consistent with how management evaluates such performance.

Adjusted diluted EPS.
Adjusted diluted EPS is defined as Diluted EPS, as adjusted for items affecting comparability as described on page A-6. Management believes that Adjusted diluted EPS is useful for investors in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of our operations since it adjusts for certain items affecting overall comparability.
Adjusted gross margin.

Management leverage ratio.
Management leverage ratio is defined as KDP's total principal amounts of debt less cash and cash equivalents, divided by Adjusted EBITDA.

Free cash flow.
Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for purchases of property, plant and equipment, proceeds from sales of property, plant and equipment, and certain items excluded for comparison to prior year periods. Management uses this measure to evaluate the company's performance and make resource allocation decisions.
Financial measures presented on a constant currency basis.
Defined as certain financial statement captions and metrics adjusted for certain items affecting comparability, calculated on a constant currency basis by converting our current period local currency financial results using the prior period foreign currency exchange rates. Because our reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar, the value of financial measures presented in U.S. Dollar will be affected by changes in currency exchange rates. Therefore, we present certain financial measures on a constant currency basis for greater comparability.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP INFORMATION
CERTAIN LINE ITEMS - CONSOLIDATED
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.
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 that do not have an offsetting risk reflected within the financial results, as well as the unrealized mark-to-market impact of our Vita Coco investment prior to its sale in the first quarter of 2025; (ii) the amortization associated with definite-lived intangible assets; (iii) the amortization of the deferred financing costs associated with the DPS Merger and JDE Peet's Acquisition; (iv) the amortization of the fair value adjustment of the senior unsecured notes obtained as a result of the DPS Merger and JDE Peet's Acquisition; (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; (vi) transaction costs for significant business combinations (completed or abandoned), excluding costs related to the JDE Peet's Acquisition; (vii) non-cash changes in deferred tax liabilities related to goodwill and intangible assets as a result of tax rate or apportionment changes; and (viii) other certain items that are excluded for comparison purposes to prior year periods.
For the first six months of 2026, the other certain items excluded for comparison purposes include (i) productivity expenses; (ii) restructuring adjustments associated with the 2023 CEO Succession and Associated Realignment; (iii) costs related to significant non-routine legal matters, including the antitrust litigation; (iv) restructuring expenses associated with the Network Optimization program; (v) integration expenses associated with the Dyla acquisition; (vi) the change in our mandatory redemption liability for GHOST; (vii) acquisition, integration, and financing costs associated with the acquisition of JDE Peet's and subsequent spin of Global Coffee Co.; (viii) the impact of the step-up of acquired inventory associated with the JDE Peet's Acquisition; (ix) Legacy JDE Peet's transformation activities and corporate actions; (x) Legacy JDE Peet's ERP system implementation and upgrade expenses; (xi) Legacy JDE Peet's losses and costs associated with divestitures; (xii) non-cash changes in deferred tax liabilities related to goodwill and other intangible assets as a result of tax rate or apportionment changes; and (xii) the reassessment of the allocation of convertible preferred dividends for items affecting comparability.
The acquisition, integration, and financing costs associated with the acquisition of JDE Peet's and subsequent spin of Global Coffee Co. category includes (i) transaction costs; (ii) integration costs; (iii) costs to obtain proceeds to close the JDE Peet's Acquisition; (iv) costs to manage the FX risk associated with the purchase price, and (v) Day 1 post-combination share-based compensation expense associated with Legacy JDE Peet's share awards. In connection with the acquisition of JDE Peet's, we entered into financing arrangements and incurred deferred financing costs associated with these agreements. Further, we executed certain FX forward contracts to protect against negative foreign exchange movement against the Euro-denominated purchase price prior to the close of the JDE Peet's Acquisition.
For the preferred dividends, the Preferred Investors are entitled to participate in dividends declared or paid on the common shares on an as-converted basis. Beginning in the second quarter of 2026, net income attributable to common shareholders is computed under the two-class method in periods when the Preferred Investors' participation on an as-converted basis exceeds the preferred dividends related to the Convertible Preferred Stock. The reassessment of the allocation of convertible preferred dividends for items affecting comparability caption reflects any adjustment required if the adjusted net income attributable to KDP is used if the Preferred Investors' participation on an as-converted basis exceeds the preferred dividends related to the Convertible Preferred Stock.
For the first six months of 2025, the other certain items excluded for comparison purposes include (i) productivity expenses; (ii) restructuring expenses associated with the 2023 CEO Succession and Associated Realignment; (iii) costs related to significant non-routine legal matters, including the antitrust litigation; (iv) restructuring expenses associated with the Network Optimization program; (v) the impact of the step-up of acquired inventory associated with the GHOST and Dyla acquisitions; (vi) integration expenses associated with the GHOST and Dyla acquisitions; (vii) the change in our mandatory redemption liability for GHOST; and (viii) non-cash changes in deferred tax liabilities related to goodwill and other intangible assets as a result of tax rate or apportionment changes.
Constant currency adjusted:
Defined as certain financial statement captions and metrics adjusted for certain items affecting comparability, calculated on a constant currency basis by converting our current period local currency financial results using the prior period foreign currency exchange rates.
For the second quarter and first six months of 2026 and 2025, the supplemental financial data set forth below includes reconciliations of adjusted and constant currency adjusted financial measures to the applicable financial measure presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the same period.

FREE CASH FLOW
Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for purchases of property, plant, and equipment, proceeds from sales of property, plant, and equipment, and certain items excluded for comparison to prior year periods. For the second quarter of 2026 and 2025, there were no certain items excluded for comparison to prior year periods.

CERTAIN LINE ITEMS - PRO FORMA COMBINED
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In this section, management has included pro forma EBITDA, pro forma adjusted EBITDA, and pro forma management leverage ratio, each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that these pro forma non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about the Company's pro forma operating results.
These pro forma non-GAAP financial measures are not an alternative to the unaudited pro forma statements of income prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute or superior to, such pro forma financial information. Using only the pro forma non-GAAP financial measures to analyze its performance would have material limitations because their calculation is based on our subjective determination regarding the nature and classification of events and circumstances that investors may find significant. For each of these pro forma non-GAAP financial measures, a reconciliation of the differences between the pro forma non-GAAP measure and the most directly comparable pro forma U.S. GAAP measure has been provided. As a result, the method used to calculate the Company's pro forma non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the methods used by other companies to calculate their non-GAAP measures.
Specifically, investors should consider the following with respect to our unaudited pro forma financial results:
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 that 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 and JDE Peet's Acquisition; (iv) the amortization of the fair value adjustment of the senior unsecured notes obtained as a result of the DPS Merger and JDE Peet's Acquisition; (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 or JDE Peet's prior to the Acquisition; (vi) transaction costs for significant business combinations (completed or abandoned), excluding costs related to the JDE Peet's Acquisition; (vii) non-cash changes in deferred tax liabilities related to goodwill and intangible assets as a result of tax rate or apportionment changes; and (viii) other certain items that are excluded for comparison purposes to prior year periods.
For the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2026, the other certain items excluded for comparison purposes include (i) productivity expenses; (ii) costs related to significant non-routine legal matters, including the antitrust litigation; (iii) restructuring expenses associated with the Network Optimization program; (iv) restructuring adjustments associated with the 2023 CEO Succession and Associated Realignment; (v) impairment of intangible assets; (vi) legacy JDE Peet's transformation activities and corporate actions; (vii) legacy JDE Peet's ERP system implementation and upgrade expenses; (viii) activity related to JDE Peet's total return equity swaps, which were not representative of the Company's go-forward activities; (ix) the impact of the step-up of acquired inventory associated with the acquisitions of JDE Peet's and Dyla; (x) integration expenses associated with the GHOST and Dyla acquisitions; (xi) the change in our mandatory redemption liability for GHOST; (xii) acquisition, integration, and financing costs associated with the anticipated acquisition of JDE Peet's and subsequent spin of Global Coffee Co; (xiii) legacy JDE Peet's impacts from prior acquisitions; and (xiv) legacy JDE Peet's losses and costs associated with divestitures.
Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA.
Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Pro Forma EBITDA, as adjusted for items affecting comparability as described above. Pro Forma EBITDA is defined as Net income as adjusted for interest expense, net; provision for income taxes; depreciation expense; amortization of intangibles; and other amortization. Management believes that Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA is useful for investors in evaluating the Company's operating results and understanding the Company's operating trends by adjusting certain items that can vary significantly depending on specific underlying transactions or events, thereby affecting comparability.
Pro Forma Management Leverage Ratio.
Pro Forma Management leverage ratio is defined as the Company's total unaudited pro forma principal amounts of Long-term obligations less cash and cash equivalents, divided by Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes that the Pro Forma Management leverage ratio is useful for investors in evaluating the Company's liquidity and assessing the Company's ability to meet its financial obligations.

TRANSACTION ACCOUNTING ADJUSTMENTS - PRO FORMA
The following adjustments have been made to prepare the unaudited pro forma financial information to give the effect to the following:
Application of the acquisition method of accounting under the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification 805,
Business Combinations
("ASC 805"), where assets and liabilities of JDE Peet's will be recorded by KDP at their respective fair values at the date of completion of the JDE Peet's Acquisition;
Adjustments to reflect the following debt and equity transactions used to raise proceeds for the JDE Peet's Acquisition;
Delayed Draw Term Loan of $3.6 billion.
Senior Unsecured Notes of approximately $6 billion.
JV Investment of $4 billion.
Issuance of Convertible Preferred Stock of $4.5 billion.
Adjustments to reflect transactions costs in connection with the JDE Peet's Acquisition; and
Adjustments to reflect the related tax effects for the preliminary pro forma adjustments.
Acquisition Adjustments:
Elimination of Net sales between KDP and JDE Peet's as part of the JDE Peet's Acquisition. The transactions are assumed to be at-market.
Reflects the adjustments to Cost of sales related to (i) preliminary fair value step-up adjustment to inventory, which is reflected in Cost of sales during the year as the related inventory is expected to be sold within twelve months following the closing of the JDE Peet's Acquisition, (ii) the removal of JDE Peet's historical amortization and depreciation expense recorded within Cost of sales during the period, (iii) the addition of depreciation expense recorded within Cost of sales from acquired Property, plant, and equipment and (iv) elimination of Cost of sales between KDP and JDE Peet's that are eliminated as part of the JDE Peet's Acquisition (the transactions are assumed to be at-market).
Reflects the adjustments to Selling, general, and administrative expenses ("SG&A"), (i) including the removal of JDE Peet's portion of historical amortization and depreciation expense recorded in SG&A, (ii) the addition of amortization expense related to definite-lived brands, customer and distributor relationships, and acquired technology recorded within SG&A, (iii) the addition of depreciation expense related to Property, plant, and equipment, (iv) recognition of expenses for estimated transaction costs and (v) recognition of post combination stock-based compensation expense. KDP is still in the process of evaluating the fair value of the definite-lived intangible assets. Any resulting change in the fair value would have a direct impact on amortization expense. The amortization of definite-lived intangible assets is calculated on a straight-line basis. The amortization is based on the periods over which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are expected to be realized, which are subject to adjustment as additional information becomes available.
(d)
Reflects the adjustment to Interest expense, net related to the preliminary fair value adjustment to JDE Peet's historical debt.
(e)
Reflects the Interest expense and amortization of issuance costs related to the Debt Financing Transactions in connection with the JDE Peet's Acquisition:
(f)
To record the income tax impact of the pro forma transaction accounting adjustments, excluding non-deductible transaction costs and non-deductible stock compensation, utilizing the blended statutory income tax rates, based on regional pre-tax data provided, of approximately 25% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025. Deductibility of estimated transaction costs was analyzed under US income tax law. Transaction costs deemed facilitative are non-deductible for US federal income tax purposes. Stock compensation is non-deductible under Netherlands local tax law and therefore, no tax benefit has been recorded as a pro forma income tax adjustment. Because the tax rates used for the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are estimated, the blended rate will likely vary from the actual effective rate in periods subsequent to completion of the JDE Peet's Acquisition. This determination is preliminary and subject to change based upon the final determination of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities.
(g)
Represents the estimated tax impact of income allocated from a taxable entity to a non-taxable entity related to non-controlling interest within the Pod Manufacturing JV, which is not subject to federal income tax.
(h)
Represents certain nonrecurring tax expenses related to implementing the Pod Manufacturing JV investment structure, including withholding taxes and the recognition of a valuation allowance on specific deferred tax assets.
ACCOUNTING POLICY AND CONVERSION ADJUSTMENTS - PRO FORMA
The historical financial statements of JDE Peet's have been converted from IFRS to U.S. GAAP. As IFRS differs in certain respects from U.S. GAAP, the following adjustments have been made to align JDE Peet's historical accounting policies under IFRS to KDP's accounting policies under U.S. GAAP for purposes of this pro forma presentation:
(i)
Record the difference in pension accounting treatment from IFRS Accounting Standards to U.S. GAAP, and corresponding deferred tax adjustment.
(ii)
Reflect the tax effects of adjustments made to conform with U.S. GAAP, including items related to intra-entity transfers of inventory, recognition of deferred taxes on non-qualifying assets, the reversal of backward tracing, outside basis differences, and uncertain tax positions.
(iii)
Reflect the impact of business combination foreign exchange and fair value interest rate hedges not eligible for hedge accounting under U.S. GAAP, reclassifying amounts from other comprehensive income to the statement of income.
(iv)
Reflect difference in hyperinflationary accounting from IFRS Accounting Standards to U.S. GAAP for operations in Turkey. Under U.S. GAAP, the financial statements of a foreign operation in a highly inflationary economy are remeasured as if the parent's reporting currency were its functional currency.
(v)
Reclassify the operating lease amortization expense and finance charges to operating lease cost. Under U.S. GAAP, lessees distinguish between finance leases and operating leases for reporting purposes. For operating leases, the right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability are recognized on the balance sheet, and the related lease expense is presented on a straight-line basis.
(vi)
Record the impact of accounting for leases embedded in revenue arrangements under U.S. GAAP. U.S. GAAP uses a rule-based classification model to categorize lessor leases as either operating, direct financing, or sales-type leases. The adjustment reclassifies certain leases from operating leases under IFRS Accounting Standards to sales-type leases under U.S. GAAP.
(vii)
Reflect the reclassifications of historical JDE Peet's financial statement line items to conform to the expected financial statement line items of the combined company following the JDE Peet's Acquisition.
(viii)
Reflect the reclassification of certain trade payables as structured payables in order to conform to KDP's accounting policy along with the corresponding reclassification of related expenses in the statement of income.
