1. General

ORGANIZATION

References in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to "KDP", "the Company", "we", or "our", refer to Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. and all wholly-owned subsidiaries included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Definitions of terms used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are included within the Master Glossary.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refers to some of our owned or licensed trademarks, trade names and service marks, which are referred to as our brands. All of the product names included herein are either KDP registered trademarks or those of our licensors.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting principally of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report.

References to the "first quarter" indicate the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The process of preparing our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and judgments that affect reported amounts. These estimates and judgments are based on historical experience, future expectations and other factors and assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and judgments are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are revised when necessary. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period of change. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

We reclassified amounts in the Financing Activities section of the unaudited condensed consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the first quarter of 2023 in order to conform to current year presentation, as maturities for the Company’s commercial paper program in both periods are 90 days or less.

The following table summarizes information about the Revolving Credit Agreement:


				Amounts Outstanding

Revolving Credit Agreement(1)	February 23, 2027	$	4,000	$	—	$	—

(1)The Revolving Credit Agreement has $200 million letters of credit available, none of which were utilized as of March 31, 2024.

As of March 31, 2024, KDP was in compliance with its minimum interest coverage ratio relating to the Revolving Credit Agreement.

Commercial Paper Program

The following table provides information about our weighted average borrowings under our commercial paper program:


	First Quarter
(in millions, except %)		2024			2023
Weighted average commercial paper borrowings		$	2,430		$	506
Weighted average borrowing rates		5.62		%	4.86		%

Letter of Credit Facility

In addition to the portion of the Revolving Credit Agreement reserved for issuance of letters of credit, KDP has an incremental letter of credit facility. Under this facility, $150 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit, $57 million of which was utilized as of March 31, 2024 and $93 million of which remains available for use.

FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

The fair value of our commercial paper approximates the carrying value and is considered Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

The fair values of our Notes are based on current market rates available to us and are considered Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The difference between the fair value and the carrying value represents the theoretical net premium or discount that would be paid or received to retire all the Notes and related unamortized costs to be incurred at such date. The fair value of our Notes was $12,085 million and $10,486 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

4. Derivatives

KDP is exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in interest rates, commodity prices, and FX rates. KDP manages these risks through a variety of strategies, including the use of interest rate contracts, FX forward contracts, commodity forward, future, swap and option contracts and supplier pricing agreements. KDP does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

We formally designate and account for certain foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate contracts that meet established accounting criteria under U.S. GAAP as cash flow hedges. For such contracts, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instruments is recorded, net of applicable taxes, in AOCI. When net income is affected by the variability of the underlying transaction, the applicable offsetting amount of the gain or loss from the derivative instrument deferred in AOCI is reclassified to net income. Cash flows from derivative instruments designated in a qualifying hedging relationship are classified in the same category as the cash flows from the hedged items. If a cash flow hedge were to cease to qualify for hedge accounting, or were terminated, the derivatives would continue to be carried on the balance sheet at fair value until settled, and hedge accounting would be discontinued prospectively. If the underlying hedged transaction ceases to exist, any associated amounts reported in AOCI would be reclassified to earnings at that time.

For derivatives that are not designated or for which the designated hedging relationship is discontinued, the gain or loss on the instrument is recognized in earnings in the period of change.

(UNAUDITED, CONTINUED)

We have exposure to credit losses from derivative instruments in an asset position in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the agreements. Historically, we have not experienced material credit losses as a result of counterparty nonperformance. We select and periodically review counterparties based on credit ratings, limit our exposure to a single counterparty under defined guidelines, and monitor the market position of the programs upon execution of a hedging transaction and at least on a quarterly basis.

INTEREST RATES

Economic Hedges

We are exposed to interest rate risk related to our borrowing arrangements and obligations. We enter into interest rate contracts to provide predictability in our overall cost structure and to manage the balance of fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. We primarily enter into receive-fixed, pay-variable and receive-variable, pay-fixed swaps and swaption contracts. A natural hedging relationship exists in which changes in the fair value of the instruments act as an economic offset to changes in the fair value of the underlying items. Changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded in earnings throughout the term of the derivative instrument and are generally reported in interest expense in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. As of March 31, 2024, economic interest rate derivative instruments have maturities ranging from April 2024 to July 2043.

Cash Flow Hedges

As of December 31, 2023, we had $500 million of notional amount of forward starting swaps which had been de-designated and terminated; however, as the forecasted debt transaction was still considered probable, the fair value of the instruments as of the de-designation remained within AOCI. In March 2024, the forecasted debt transaction took place with the issuance of the 2034 Notes, and the fair value of the instruments began amortizing to Interest expense, net over the term of the 2034 Notes.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE

We are exposed to foreign exchange risk in our international subsidiaries or with certain counterparties in foreign jurisdictions, which may transact in currencies that are different from the functional currencies of our legal entities. Additionally, the balance sheets of our Canadian and Mexican businesses are subject to exposure from movements in exchange rates.

Economic Hedges

We hold FX forward contracts to economically manage the balance sheet exposures resulting from changes in the FX rates described above. The intent of these FX contracts is to minimize the impact of FX risk associated with balance sheet positions not in local currency. In these cases, a hedging relationship exists in which changes in the fair value of the instruments act as an economic offset to changes in the fair value of the underlying items. Changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded in earnings throughout the term of the derivative instrument and are reported in the same caption of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as the associated risk. As of March 31, 2024, these FX contracts have maturities ranging from April 2024 to February 2025.

Cash Flow Hedges

We designate certain FX forward contracts as cash flow hedges in order to manage the exposures resulting from changes in the FX rates described above. These designated FX forward contracts relate to forecasted inventory purchases in U.S. dollars of our Canadian and Mexican businesses. The intent of these FX contracts is to provide predictability in the Company's overall cost structure. As of March 31, 2024, these FX contracts have maturities ranging from April 2024 to June 2025.

COMMODITIES

Economic Hedges

We centrally manage the exposure to volatility in the prices of certain commodities used in our production process and transportation through various derivative contracts. We generally hold some combination of future, swap and option contracts that economically hedge certain of our risks. In these cases, a hedging relationship exists in which changes in the fair value of the instruments act as an economic offset to changes in the fair value of the underlying items or as an offset to certain costs of production. Changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded in earnings throughout the term of the derivative instrument and are reported in the same line item of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as the hedged transaction. Unrealized gains and losses are recognized as a component of unallocated corporate costs until our reportable segments are affected by the completion of the underlying transaction, at which time the gain or loss is reflected as a component of the respective segment's income from operations. As of March 31, 2024, these commodity contracts have maturities ranging from April 2024 to January 2026.

NOTIONAL AMOUNTS OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The following table presents the notional amounts of our outstanding derivative instruments by type:


(in millions)	March 31, 2024		December 31, 2023

Forward contracts, not designated as hedging instruments	575		710
Forward contracts, designated as cash flow hedges	449		425
Commodity contracts, not designated as hedging instruments(1)	467		500

(1)Notional value for commodity contracts is calculated as the expected volume times strike price per unit on a gross basis.

FAIR VALUE OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The fair values of commodity contracts, interest rate contracts and FX forward contracts are determined based on inputs that are readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets. The fair value of commodity contracts are valued using the market approach based on observable market transactions, primarily underlying commodities futures or physical index prices, at the reporting date. Interest rate contracts are valued using models based primarily on readily observable market parameters, such as SOFR forward rates, for all substantial terms of our contracts and credit risk of the counterparties. The fair value of FX forward contracts are valued using quoted forward FX prices at the reporting date. Therefore, we have categorized these contracts as Level 2.

6. Segments

Our operating and reportable segments consist of the following:

•The U.S. Refreshment Beverages segment reflects sales in the U.S. from the manufacture and distribution of branded concentrates, syrup and finished beverages, including the sales of our own brands and third-party brands, to third-party bottlers, distributors and retailers.

•The U.S. Coffee segment reflects sales in the U.S. from the manufacture and distribution of finished goods relating to our K-Cup pods, single-serve brewers and accessories, and other coffee products to partners, retailers and directly to consumers through the Keurig.com website.

•The International segment reflects sales in international markets, including the following:

◦Sales in Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and other international markets from the manufacture and distribution of branded concentrates, syrup and finished beverages, including sales of our own brands and third-party brands, to third-party bottlers, distributors and retailers.

◦Sales in Canada from the manufacture and distribution of finished goods relating to our single-serve brewers, K-Cup pods and other coffee products.

Segment results are based on management reports. Net sales and income from operations are the significant financial measures used to assess the operating performance of our operating segments. Intersegment sales are recorded at cost and are eliminated in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. “Unallocated corporate costs” are excluded from our measurement of segment performance and include unrealized commodity derivative gains and losses, and certain general corporate expenses.

7. Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied. Branded product sales, which include LRB, K-Cup pods and appliances, occur once control is transferred upon delivery to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods. The amount of consideration we receive, and revenue we recognize, varies with changes in customer incentives that we offer our customers and end consumers. Sales taxes and other similar taxes are excluded from revenue. Costs associated with shipping and handling activities, such as merchandising, are included in SG&A expenses as revenue is recognized.

The following table disaggregates our revenue by product portfolio and by reportable segment:


(in millions)	U.S. Refreshment Beverages		U.S. Coffee		International		Total














For the first quarter of 2024:

14. Commitments and Contingencies

KDP is occasionally subject to litigation or other legal proceedings. Reserves are recorded for specific legal proceedings when the Company determines that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We had litigation reserves of $8 million and $12 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. We have also identified certain other legal matters where we believe an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and/or for which no estimate of possible losses can be made. We do not believe that the outcome of these, or any other, pending legal matters, individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity.

ANTITRUST LITIGATION

In February 2014, TreeHouse Foods, Inc. and certain affiliated entities filed suit against KDP’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Keurig (formerly known as Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc.), in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (“SDNY”) (TreeHouse Foods, Inc. et al. v. Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. et al.). The TreeHouse complaint asserted claims under the federal antitrust laws and various state laws, contending that Keurig had monopolized alleged markets for single serve coffee brewers and single serve coffee pods. The TreeHouse complaint sought treble monetary damages, declaratory relief, injunctive relief and attorneys’ fees. In the months that followed, a number of additional actions, including claims from another coffee manufacturer (JBR, Inc.), as well as putative class actions on behalf of direct and indirect purchasers of Keurig’s products, were filed in various federal district courts, asserting claims and seeking relief substantially similar to the claims asserted and relief sought in the TreeHouse complaint. Additional similar actions were filed by individual direct purchasers (including McLane Company, Inc., BJ’s Wholesale Club, Inc., Winn-Dixie Stores Inc. and Bi-Lo Holding LLC) in 2019 and in 2021. All of these actions were transferred to the SDNY for coordinated pre-trial proceedings (In re: Keurig Green Mountain Single-Serve Coffee Antitrust Litigation) (the “Multidistrict Antitrust Litigation”).

In July 2020, Keurig reached an agreement with one of the plaintiff groups in the Multidistrict Antitrust Litigation, the putative indirect purchaser class, to settle the claims asserted for $31 million. The settlement class consisted of individuals and entities in the United States that purchased, from persons other than Keurig and not for purposes of resale, Keurig manufactured or licensed single serve beverage portion packs during the applicable class period (beginning in September 2010 for most states). The settlement was approved and paid, and the indirect purchasers’ claims have been dismissed.

Discovery in all remaining matters pending in the Multidistrict Antitrust Litigation is concluded, with the plaintiffs collectively claiming more than $5 billion of monetary damages. Keurig strongly disputes the merits of the claims and the calculation of damages. As a result, Keurig has fully briefed summary judgment motions that, if successful, would end the cases entirely. Keurig has also fully briefed other significant motions, including challenges to the validity of plaintiffs’ damages calculations. Keurig is also pursuing its opposition to direct purchaser plaintiffs’ motion for class certification. Certain of Keurig’s motions and opposition have been pending in the SDNY since 2021, with others pending since 2023.

Keurig intends to continue vigorously defending the remaining lawsuits. At this time, we are unable to predict the outcome of these lawsuits, the potential loss or range of loss, if any, associated with the resolution of these lawsuits or any potential effect they may have on us or our results of operations. Accordingly, we have not accrued for a loss contingency. Additionally, as the timelines in these cases may be beyond our control, we can provide no assurance as to whether or when there will be material developments in these matters.

RESTRUCTURING PROGRAMS

2023 CEO Succession and Associated Realignment

In 2023, we began to enact several organization movements to ensure succession plans, to reinforce enterprise capabilities to support growth, and to control costs. A key component of the program was the appointment of Tim Cofer as Chief Operating Officer, effective November 6, 2023, with the expectation that Mr. Cofer will succeed Robert Gamgort as our CEO during the second quarter of 2024. We are also realigning our executive and operating leadership structure to enable faster decision making and to better support various strategic initiatives. The program is expected to incur charges of approximately $52 million, primarily driven by severance costs, which are expected to be incurred through 2024, and the sign-on bonus for Mr. Cofer as our new Chief Operating Officer.

2024 Network Optimization

In March 2024, we announced the closure of our manufacturing facility in Williston, Vermont, with operations and employees to be relocated to other existing manufacturing locations, in order to more effectively and efficiently meet the needs of consumers and customers. The relocation is expected to take place during the second and third quarters of 2024, and the restructuring program is expected to incur pre-tax restructuring charges in an estimated range of $30 million to $40 million, primarily comprised of asset related costs.

RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

Restructuring and integration expenses for the defined programs during the periods presented were as follows:

Operating margin	22.1		%	17.4		%			470 bps
Effective tax rate	23.6		%	19.6		%			400 bps

Sales Volume. The following table provides the percentage change in sales volume compared to the prior year period:


	Percentage Change
LRB	(0.7)	%
K-Cup pods	(0.6)
Appliances	21.7

Net Sales. Net sales increased $115 million, or 3.4%, to $3,468 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared to $3,353 million in the prior year period. This performance reflected favorable net price realization (3.1%) and favorable FX translation (0.6%), slightly offset by unfavorable volume/mix (0.3%).

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $196 million, or 11.2%, to $1,940 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared to $1,744 million in the prior year period. This performance primarily reflected the impact to gross profit of the strong growth in net sales (6 percentage points), the benefit from the earned equity from the achievement of milestones associated with certain distribution agreements (3 percentage points), and a net benefit from changes in ingredients, materials, and productivity (2 percentage points). Gross margin increased 390 bps versus the prior year period to 55.9%.

Income from Operations. Income from operations increased $181 million, or 31.0%, to $765 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared to $584 million in the prior year period, primarily driven by increased gross profit. Operating margin increased 470 bps from the prior year period to 22.1%.

Table of Contents

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $155 million to $178 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared to $23 million for the prior year period, primarily driven by the unfavorable change in unrealized mark-to-market activity on interest rate contracts, resulting from increasing interest rates.

Effective Tax Rate. The effective tax rate increased 400 bps to 23.6% for the first quarter of 2024, compared to 19.6% in the prior year period, driven by a shift in the mix of income from lower tax jurisdictions to higher tax jurisdictions (210 bps) and the unfavorable comparison to the prior year tax benefit received from favorable adjustments upon foreign tax return filing (150 bps).

Net Income. Net income decreased $13 million, or 2.8%, to $454 million for the first quarter of 2024 as compared to $467 million in the prior year period, as increased interest expense and unfavorable changes in our effective tax rate offset our increased income from operations.

Diluted EPS. Diluted EPS was flat relative to the prior year period at $0.33 per diluted share.

Income from operations	615			490			125		25.5
Operating margin	29.4		%	24.4		%			500 bps

Sales Volume. Sales volume for the first quarter of 2024 decreased approximately 1.7% compared to the prior year period, as growth in Canada Dry and C4 Energy, combined with the launch of Electrolit within our distribution network, was more than offset by softness in the remainder of our portfolio.

Net Sales. Net sales increased 4.3% to $2,093 million in the first quarter of 2024, compared to $2,007 million in the prior year period, driven by favorable net price realization (5.6%), which was partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix (1.3%).

Income from Operations. Income from operations increased $125 million, or 25.5%, to $615 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared to $490 million for the prior year period. This performance was led by the benefits to gross profit from net sales growth (17 percentage points) and earned equity from the achievement of milestones associated with certain distribution agreements (9 percentage points), as well as a net benefit from changes in ingredients, materials, and productivity (2 percentage points). Operating margin improved 500 bps versus the year ago period to 29.4%.

Sales Volume. K-Cup pod volume decreased 1.1% for the first quarter of 2024 compared to the prior year period, reflecting softer at-home coffee category trends. Appliance volume increased 26.1% in the first quarter of 2024, driven by Keurig market share momentum.

Net Sales. Net sales decreased 2.1% to $911 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared to $931 million in the prior year period, driven by unfavorable volume/mix (1.8%) and net price realization (0.3%).

Income from Operations. Income from operations increased $16 million, or 6.9%, to $248 million for the first quarter of 2024, compared to $232 million in the prior year period, driven by a net benefit from changes in ingredients, materials, and productivity (10 percentage points) and reduced costs associated with productivity projects (6 percentage points), partially offset by the impact to gross profit of the decrease in net sales (8 percentage points). Operating margin improved 230 bps versus the year ago period to 27.2%.

Income from Operations. Income from operations increased $32 million, or 40.0%, to $112 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared to $80 million in the prior year period. This performance reflected the impact to gross profit of higher net price realization and volume/mix growth (30 percentage points) and favorable FX impacts (9 percentage points). Operating margin improved 480 bps versus the year ago period to 24.1%.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The process of preparing our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Critical accounting estimates are both fundamental to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results and require difficult, subjective or complex estimates and assessments. These estimates and judgments are based on historical experience, future expectations and other factors and assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The most significant estimates and judgments are reviewed on an ongoing basis and revised when necessary. These critical accounting estimates are discussed in greater detail in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report.

Table of Contents

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

We believe our financial condition and liquidity remain strong. We continue to manage all aspects of our business, including, but not limited to, monitoring the financial health of our customers, suppliers and other third-party relationships, implementing gross margin enhancement strategies through our productivity initiatives, and developing new opportunities for growth such as innovation and agreements with partners to distribute brands that are accretive to our portfolio.

Cash generated by our foreign operations is generally repatriated to the U.S. periodically as working capital funding requirements, where allowed. We do not expect restrictions or taxes on repatriation of cash held outside the U.S. to have a material effect on our overall business, liquidity, financial condition or results of operations for the foreseeable future.

The following summarizes our cash activity for the first quarter of 2024 and 2023:

Principal Sources of Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are our existing cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from our operations, and borrowing capacity currently available under our Revolving Credit Agreement. Additionally, we have an uncommitted commercial paper program where we can issue unsecured commercial paper notes on a private placement basis. Based on our current and anticipated level of operations, we believe that our operating cash flows will be sufficient to meet our anticipated obligations for the next twelve months and thereafter for the foreseeable future. To the extent that our operating cash flows are not sufficient to meet our liquidity needs, we may utilize cash on hand or amounts available under our financing arrangements, if necessary. At any time, and from time to time, we may seek additional deleveraging, refinancing or liquidity enhancing transactions, including entering into transactions to repurchase or redeem outstanding indebtedness or otherwise seek transactions to reduce interest expense, extend debt maturities and improve our capital and liquidity structure.

Table of Contents

Sources of Liquidity - Operations

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $14 million for the first quarter of 2024, as compared to the first quarter of 2023, driven by an increase in working capital.

Cash Conversion Cycle

Our cash conversion cycle is defined as DIO and DSO less DPO. The calculation of each component of the cash conversion cycle is provided below:


Component						Calculation (on a trailing twelve month basis)
DIO						(Average inventory divided by cost of sales) * Number of days in the period
DSO						(Accounts receivable divided by net sales) * Number of days in the period
DPO						(Accounts payable * Number of days in the period) divided by cost of sales and SG&A expenses

The following table summarizes our cash conversion cycle:


	March 31,
	2024	2023
DIO	70	71
DSO	32	37
DPO	100	154
Cash conversion cycle	2	(46)

Our cash conversion cycle increased 48 days to approximately 2 days as of March 31, 2024 as compared to (46) days as of March 31, 2023, which was primarily driven by the decrease in DPO, reflecting the reduction of payment terms for certain suppliers.

Accounts Payable Program

As part of our ongoing efforts to improve our cash flow and related liquidity, we work with our suppliers to optimize our terms and conditions, which includes payment terms. Excluding our suppliers who require cash at date of purchase or sale, our current payment terms with our suppliers generally range from 10 to 360 days. We also enter into agreements with third party administrators to allow participating suppliers to track payment obligations from us, and, if voluntarily elected by the supplier, sell payment obligations from us to financial institutions. Suppliers can sell one or more of our payment obligations at their sole discretion and our rights and obligations to our suppliers are not impacted. We have no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to enter into these agreements and no direct financial relationship with the financial institutions. Our obligations to our suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment terms, are not impacted.

Table of Contents

Sources of Liquidity - Financing

Refer to Note 2 of the Notes to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for management's discussion of our financing arrangements.

We also have an active shelf registration statement, filed with the SEC on August 19, 2022, which allows us to issue an indeterminate number or amount of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities and warrants from time to time in one or more offerings at the direction of our Board.

Debt Ratings

Our credit ratings are as follows:

Rating Agency

Long-Term Debt Rating

Commercial Paper Rating

Outlook

Moody's

Baa1

P-2

Stable

S&P

BBB

A-2

Stable

These debt and commercial paper ratings impact the interest we pay on our financing arrangements. A downgrade of one or both of our debt and commercial paper ratings could increase our interest expense and decrease the cash available to fund anticipated obligations.

As of March 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all debt covenants and we have no reason to believe that we will be unable to satisfy these covenants.

Principal Uses of Capital Resources

Our capital allocation priorities are investing to grow our business both organically and inorganically, continuing to strengthen our balance sheet, and returning cash to shareholders through regular quarterly dividends and opportunistic share repurchases. We dynamically adjust our cash deployment plans based on the specific opportunities available in a given period, but over time we allocate capital to balance each of these priorities.

Regular Quarterly Dividends

We have declared total dividends of $0.215 per share and $0.20 per share for the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Repurchases of Common Stock

Our Board authorized a four-year share repurchase program, ending December 31, 2025, of up to $4 billion of our outstanding common stock. We repurchased and retired $1,105 million of common stock during the first quarter of 2024. As of March 31, 2024, $1,810 million remained available for repurchase under the authorized share repurchase program.

Table of Contents

Capital Expenditures

We continue to invest in state-of-the-art manufacturing and warehousing facilities, including expansive investments in facilities in Spartanburg, South Carolina, in order to optimize our supply chain network.

Purchases of property, plant and equipment were $158 million and $62 million for the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Capital expenditures, which includes both purchases of property, plant and equipment and amounts included in accounts payable and accrued expenses, for the first quarter of 2024 and 2023 primarily related to investments in manufacturing capabilities. Capital expenditures included in accounts payable and accrued expenses were $189 million and $222 million for the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, which primarily related to these investments.

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

From time to time, we expect to invest in beverage startup companies or in brand ownership companies to grow our presence in certain product categories, or enter into various licensing and distribution agreements to expand our product portfolio. Our investments generally involve acquiring a minority interest in equity securities of a company, in certain cases with a protected path to ownership at our future option.

Purchases of Intangible Assets

We have invested in the expansion of our DSD network through transactions with strategic independent bottlers or third-party brand ownership companies to ensure competitive distribution scale. From time to time, we additionally acquire brand ownership companies to expand our portfolio. These transactions are generally accounted for as an asset acquisition, as the majority of the transaction price represents the acquisition of an intangible asset. Purchases of intangible assets were $31 million and $51 million for the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Uncertainties and Trends Affecting Liquidity

Disruptions in financial and credit markets, including those caused by inflation, global economic uncertainty and rising interest rates, may impact our ability to manage normal commercial relationships with our customers, suppliers and creditors. These disruptions could have a negative impact on the ability of our customers to timely pay their obligations to us, thus reducing our cash flow, or the ability of our vendors to timely supply materials.

Customer and consumer demand for our products may also be impacted by the risk factors discussed under "Risk Factors" in Part 1, Item 1A of our Annual Report, as well as subsequent filings with the SEC, that could have a material effect on production, delivery and consumption of our products, which could result in a reduction in our sales volume.

SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain of our direct and indirect subsidiaries (the "Guarantors"), as defined in the indentures governing the Notes. The Guarantors are 100% owned either directly or indirectly by us and jointly and severally guarantee, subject to the release provisions described below, our obligations under the Notes. None of our subsidiaries organized outside of the U.S., any of the subsidiaries held by Maple Parent Holdings Corp. prior to the DPS Merger or any of the subsidiaries acquired after the DPS Merger (collectively, the "Non-Guarantors") guarantee the Notes. The subsidiary guarantees with respect to the Notes are subject to release upon the occurrence of certain events, including the sale of all or substantially all of a subsidiary's assets, the release of the subsidiary's guarantee of our other indebtedness, our exercise of the legal defeasance option with respect to the Notes and the discharge of our obligations under the applicable indenture.

The following schedules present the summarized financial information for Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (the “Parent”) and the Guarantors on a combined basis after intercompany eliminations; the Parent and the Guarantors' amounts due from and amounts due to Non-Guarantors are disclosed separately.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes to the disclosures on market risk made in our Annual Report.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Based on evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that, as of March 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to (i) provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Exchange Act filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms, and (ii) ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act are accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

We are occasionally subject to litigation or other legal proceedings relating to our business. See Note 14 of the Notes to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information related to commitments and contingencies, which is incorporated herein by reference.

The Staff of the SEC (the “Staff”) has been investigating certain statements by the Company in its prior Exchange Act reports regarding the recyclability of our K-Cup pods. We have been cooperating with this investigation and have now reached what we believe to be an agreement in principle with the Staff to resolve the matter. This agreement is subject to finalizing documentation and must be approved by the SEC. If approved, this agreement, which includes a $1.5 million penalty, would not have a material impact on the Company.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report.

ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On October 1, 2021, our Board authorized a share repurchase program of up to $4 billion of our outstanding common stock, enabling us to opportunistically return value to shareholders. The $4 billion authorization is effective for four years, beginning on January 1, 2022 and expiring on December 31, 2025, and does not require the purchase of any minimum number of shares. The following table summarizes shares repurchased by us under this program during the first quarter of 2024:
