Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2020 Review
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Feb. 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Coca-Cola Consolidated, Inc. (NASDAQ:COKE) today reported operating results for the fourth quarter and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.
“2020 was an extraordinary year and I’m proud of our team for how they responded to the unprecedented challenges we faced throughout the year,” said J. Frank Harrison, III, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We made decisions early in the pandemic to adjust our operating model and reduce expenses as we navigated an unpredictable business environment. These adjustments, coupled with strong consumer demand for our products, enabled us to deliver incredibly strong operating results and make strategic investments back into our business.”
“Coca-Cola Consolidated is a purpose-driven company and 2020 was a great example of how we bring our Purpose to life,” Mr. Harrison continued. “As the pandemic spread across the country, the health and safety of our teammates was a top priority. We reacted quickly by securing protective equipment for our teammates and significantly adjusted our work routines to keep our teammates safe. As the pandemic continues, we remain committed to keeping our teammate’s health and well-being at the forefront as we push forward into 2021.”
Results for the fourth quarter and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 include four additional days compared to the same fiscal period of 2019. For comparison purposes, the estimated impact of the four additional days has been excluded from our comparable(b) and adjusted(b) results. The Company estimates the impact of the four additional days to be as follows:
| (in thousands) | Results of extra days in fiscal periods | ||||
| Physical case volume | 4,586 | ||||
| Net sales | $ | 58,899 | |||
| Gross profit | $ | 21,707 | |||
| SD&A expenses | $ | 14,353 | |||
| Income from operations | $ | 7,354 | |||

“COVID related quarantines and other restrictions we experienced in 2020 caused a severe downturn in parts of our business, but they also resulted in a significant increase in demand for our products across our take-home channels. In response, our team worked diligently throughout 2020 to meet this elevated demand and optimize our commercial plan as well as our manufacturing and distribution network,” said Dave Katz, President and Chief Operating Officer. “Our full-year financial results reflect the strong benefit of the pricing realization, manufacturing efficiencies and cost savings we achieved throughout the year. The combination of these factors along with favorable input costs, drove our operating income up more than

“We are very optimistic about our top line growth opportunities in 2021 as we execute a robust commercial plan with our brand partners, but we are also mindful of the continuing impact COVID-19 is having on our communities and the uncertainty it brings to our operating environment,” Mr. Katz continued. “When impacted business channels reopen and consumer buying patterns normalize, we expect our operating costs to increase as we adjust our business model to properly grow and service our full portfolio of customers. While we expect to achieve another solid year of financial performance in 2021, the combination of higher operating expenses and expected input cost inflation will likely result in 2021 income from operations below the record performance we reached in 2020.”

(d) The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide users with additional meaningful financial information that should be considered when assessing the Company’s ongoing performance. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating the Company’s performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s non-GAAP financial information does not represent a comprehensive basis of accounting.
