Insights
Coca-Cola Consolidated's Q2 2024 results demonstrate robust financial performance, with several key metrics showing improvement. Net sales increased by 3.3% to
Particularly noteworthy is the 11% increase in income from operations, reaching
However, it's important to note that standard physical case volume declined by
The company's cash flow position remains strong, with cash flows from operations increasing to
Overall, Coca-Cola Consolidated's financial performance in Q2 2024 appears solid, with improved profitability metrics and strong cash flow generation. However, the decline in physical case volume warrants monitoring in future quarters.
Coca-Cola Consolidated's Q2 2024 results reveal interesting trends in consumer behavior and market dynamics. The 4.4% increase in sparkling bottle/can sales suggests continued strong demand for carbonated beverages. This growth, coupled with relatively flat sparkling category volume, indicates a shift towards higher-priced or premium products within the category.
The strength in multi-serve can packages sold in larger retail stores points to a potential trend of consumers favoring bulk purchases, possibly for at-home consumption. This could be a lingering effect of changed consumption patterns post-pandemic or a response to inflationary pressures.
In the still beverage category, the 3.5% decline in physical case volume is noteworthy. The softness in Dasani casepack water and BODYARMOR suggests changing consumer preferences or increased competition in these segments. However, the strength in brands like Monster, POWERade, Core Power and vitaminwater indicates a consumer shift towards functional and energy drinks.
The company's expansion of delivery methods beyond traditional Direct Store Delivery (DSD) for complex product portfolios demonstrates adaptability to changing market conditions. The shift of Dasani water distribution in Walmart stores to a non-DSD method, while impacting reported case sales, likely improves operational efficiency.
Coca-Cola Consolidated's focus on value-oriented packages and mini can production aligns with potential consumer demand for portion control and affordability in an inflationary environment. This strategy could help maintain volume while supporting price increases.
Overall, these results reflect a dynamic beverage market with shifting consumer preferences and a company actively adapting its strategies to meet these changes.

Second Quarter and First Half 2024 Review
CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 31, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Coca‑Cola Consolidated, Inc. (NASDAQ: COKE) today reported operating results for the second quarter ended June 28, 2024 and the first half of fiscal 2024.
“We are pleased to report strong second quarter results that reflect our continued focus on margin management and operating efficiency,” said J. Frank Harrison, III, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “In addition to reaching higher levels of profitability this quarter, we made important progress in our commitment to build long-term value for our stockholders through a significant repurchase of our common shares. We look forward to communicating additional plans with you in the coming weeks.”
Net sales increased
Standard physical case volume was down
“Our local teams did outstanding work executing our commercial plan leading up to the July 4th holiday, which resulted in very solid performance of our brands this quarter,” said Dave Katz, President and Chief Operating Officer. “We are especially pleased with the performance of our Sparkling brands as we’ve expanded our portfolio with a variety of value-oriented packages.”
Direct store delivery (“DSD”) is our preferred and primary route to market. However, as our business becomes more complex with an increasing number of brands and packages, we are expanding our delivery methods to include routes to market outside our traditional DSD capabilities. We receive fees associated with our non-DSD sales that benefit our overall profitability but the volume is not reported as part of our standard physical case volume. For example, we have shifted the distribution of casepack Dasani water sold in Walmart stores to a non-DSD method of distribution which reduced our second quarter reported case sales by
Gross profit in the second quarter of 2024 was
“Our consistent capital investments in mini can and small PET production capabilities over the past several years have enabled us to actively respond to the evolving needs of our consumers and retail partners,” Mr. Katz continued. “We are closely monitoring consumer behavior and traffic in key customers as we balance our approach to pricing and package mix.”

| (c) | 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 of the financial statements with additional, meaningful financial information that should be considered, in addition to the measures reported in accordance with GAAP, 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. |
