Insights

Financial Analyst

Coca-Cola's Q4 and FY2024 results reveal a company successfully navigating global economic challenges through strategic pricing and market execution. The 14% organic revenue growth in Q4, driven by 9% price/mix growth, demonstrates strong pricing power and effective revenue growth management across markets.

The company's performance shows particular strength in several key areas:

• Market share gains in total nonalcoholic ready-to-drink beverages, indicating successful competitive positioning
• Impressive growth in Coca-Cola Zero Sugar (13% in Q4), reflecting successful portfolio innovation
• Strong performance in emerging markets, with notable growth in Brazil, India and Mexico

However, the 51% decline in free cash flow to $4.7 billion warrants attention. Excluding the IRS tax litigation deposit, free cash flow actually grew by 11% to $10.8 billion, indicating robust underlying cash generation capability. The company's strategic focus on returnable glass bottles across 110+ countries provides both cost advantages and environmental benefits while supporting pricing flexibility in different markets.

Regional performance varied significantly, with Latin America showing particularly strong results (25% organic revenue growth) despite currency headwinds, while Asia Pacific faced challenges with price/mix declining 5% due to unfavorable mix. The company's ability to maintain pricing power while growing volume in key markets suggests strong brand equity and effective execution of its 'all-weather' strategy.

Company Provides 2025 Financial Outlook

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Coca-Cola Company today reported fourth quarter and full year 2024 results. “Our all-weather strategy is working, and we continue to demonstrate our ability to lead through dynamic external environments,” said James Quincey, Chairman and CEO of The Coca-Cola Company. “Our global scale, coupled with local-market expertise and the unwavering dedication of our people and our system, uniquely position us to capture the vast opportunities ahead.”

Highlights

Quarterly/Full Year Performance

• Revenues: For the quarter, net revenues increased 6% to $11.5 billion, and organic revenues (non-GAAP) grew 14%, driven by 9% growth in price/mix and a 5% increase in concentrate sales. Concentrate sales were 3 points ahead of unit case volume, primarily driven by two additional days and the timing of concentrate shipments. For the full year, net revenues grew 3% to $47.1 billion, and organic revenues (non-GAAP) grew 12%, driven by 11% growth in price/mix and 2% growth in concentrate sales. Concentrate sales were 1 point ahead of unit case volume, primarily due to the timing of concentrate shipments.
• Operating margin: For the quarter, operating margin was 23.5% versus 21.0% in the prior year, while comparable operating margin (non-GAAP) was 24.0% versus 23.1% in the prior year. For the full year, operating margin was 21.2% versus 24.7% in the prior year, while comparable operating margin (non-GAAP) was 30.0% versus 29.1% in the prior year. For both the quarter and the full year, operating margin performance included items impacting comparability, as well as currency headwinds. Full year operating margin included a charge of $3.1 billion related to the remeasurement of the contingent consideration liability to fair value in conjunction with the acquisition of fairlife, LLC (“fairlife”) in 2020. For both the quarter and the full year, comparable operating margin (non-GAAP) expansion was primarily driven by strong organic revenue (non-GAAP) growth and the impact of refranchising bottling operations, partially offset by higher input costs, higher operating expenses and currency headwinds.
• Earnings per share: For the quarter, EPS grew 12% to $0.51, while comparable EPS (non-GAAP) grew 12% to $0.55. EPS performance included the impact of a 1-point currency headwind, while comparable EPS (non-GAAP) performance included the impact of an 11-point currency headwind. For the full year, EPS declined slightly to $2.46, while comparable EPS (non-GAAP) grew 7% to $2.88. EPS and comparable EPS (non-GAAP) performance both included the impact of a 9-point currency headwind.
• Market share: For both the quarter and the full year, the company gained value share in total nonalcoholic ready-to-drink (“NARTD”) beverages.
• Cash flow: For the full year, cash flow from operations and free cash flow (non-GAAP) were $6.8 billion and $4.7 billion, respectively. Both decreased versus the prior year, primarily due to a $6.0 billion deposit made to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) related to ongoing tax litigation (“IRS tax litigation deposit”). Free cash flow excluding the IRS tax litigation deposit (non-GAAP) was $10.8 billion, an increase of $1.0 billion versus the prior year, largely due to strong business performance and working capital benefits, partially offset by higher other tax payments and higher capital expenditures.

Company Updates

• Offering a brand portfolio across compelling package offerings: The company, in close alignment with its bottling partners, continues to exemplify leadership in revenue growth management (“RGM”) by offering relevant global and local brands in a variety of packages at the right price points to meet consumer needs. Returnable glass bottles offer a unique competitive advantage, having an expansive footprint for the company across more than 110 countries and, in 2024, added 1.6 billion unit cases to total company volume performance, with a growth rate that outpaced total company volume growth. Returnable glass bottles are important to the company’s RGM capabilities, serving as both an affordable and premium package that can be tailored to local market needs. In developed markets across Western Europe, the bottle is a key premium package in away-from-home channels. In certain developing and emerging markets, returnable glass bottles are an affordable offering that enables the company to recruit consumers and develop the commercial beverage industry. In 2018, the company launched a universal returnable glass bottle in Latin America, aimed at further reducing input costs, increasing collectability and expanding beverage offerings. The universal bottle has quickly expanded to markets around the world, including Germany, South Africa and Vietnam, with more opportunities ahead.
• Stepping up key execution levers to drive recruitment: The company’s global franchise system is increasing outlet coverage and accelerating the placement of cold-drink equipment across local markets to drive consumer recruitment and long-term balanced revenue growth. In 2024, the Coca-Cola system increased availability by adding more than 250,000 net new outlets and nearly 600,000 new coolers. Increasing cold-drink equipment is critical to drive transactions and expand the consumer base, as coolers are one of the strongest enablers for transaction growth, especially in traditional trade channels where approximately 90% of NARTD beverages are served cold. These actions contributed to the company growing volume and gaining value share for both the quarter and the full year.

Outlook

The 2025 outlook information provided below includes forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, which management uses in measuring performance. The company is not able to reconcile full year 2025 projected organic revenues (non-GAAP) to full year 2025 projected reported net revenues, full year 2025 projected comparable net revenues (non-GAAP) to full year 2025 projected reported net revenues, full year 2025 projected underlying effective tax rate (non-GAAP) to full year 2025 projected reported effective tax rate, full year 2025 projected comparable currency neutral EPS (non-GAAP) to full year 2025 projected reported EPS, or full year 2025 projected comparable EPS (non-GAAP) to full year 2025 projected reported EPS without unreasonable efforts because it is not possible to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the exact timing and exact impact of acquisitions, divestitures and structural changes throughout 2025; the exact timing and exact amount of items impacting comparability throughout 2025; and the exact impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates throughout 2025. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the company’s full year 2025 reported financial results.

Full Year 2025

The company expects to deliver organic revenue (non-GAAP) growth of 5% to 6%.

For comparable net revenues (non-GAAP), the company expects a 3% to 4% currency headwind based on the current rates and including the impact of hedged positions, in addition to a slight headwind from acquisitions, divestitures and structural changes.

The company’s underlying effective tax rate (non-GAAP) is estimated to be 20.8% versus 18.6% in 2024. This includes the impact of several countries enacting the global minimum tax regulations and does not include the impact of ongoing tax litigation with the IRS, if the company were not to prevail.

The company expects to deliver comparable currency neutral EPS (non-GAAP) growth of 8% to 10%.

The company expects comparable EPS (non-GAAP) growth of 2% to 3%, versus $2.88 in 2024.

Comparable EPS (non-GAAP) percentage growth is expected to include a 6% to 7% currency headwind based on the current rates and including the impact of hedged positions, in addition to a slight headwind from acquisitions, divestitures and structural changes.

The company expects to generate free cash flow excluding the fairlife contingent consideration payment (non-GAAP) of approximately $9.5 billion. This consists of cash flow from operations excluding the fairlife contingent consideration payment (non-GAAP) of approximately $11.7 billion, less capital expenditures of approximately $2.2 billion.

First Quarter 2025 Considerations

Comparable net revenues (non-GAAP) are expected to include a 3% to 4% currency headwind based on the current rates and including the impact of hedged positions, in addition to a 2% to 3% headwind from acquisitions, divestitures and structural changes.

Comparable EPS (non-GAAP) percentage growth is expected to include a 5% to 6% currency headwind based on the current rates and including the impact of hedged positions, in addition to a 2% to 3% headwind from acquisitions, divestitures and structural changes.

The first quarter has two fewer days compared to first quarter 2024.

Notes

• All references to growth rate percentages and share compare the results of the period to those of the prior year comparable period, unless otherwise noted.
• All references to volume and volume percentage changes indicate unit case volume, unless otherwise noted. All volume percentage changes are computed based on average daily sales in the fourth quarter, unless otherwise noted, and are computed on a reported basis for the full year. “Unit case” means a unit of measurement equal to 192 U.S. fluid ounces of finished beverage (24 eight-ounce servings), with the exception of unit case equivalents for Costa non-ready-to-drink beverage products which are primarily measured in number of transactions. “Unit case volume” means the number of unit cases (or unit case equivalents) of company beverages directly or indirectly sold by the company and its bottling partners to customers or consumers.
• “Concentrate sales” represents the amount of concentrates, syrups, beverage bases, source waters and powders/minerals (in all instances expressed in unit case equivalents) sold by, or used in finished beverages sold by, the company to its bottling partners or other customers. For Costa non-ready-to-drink beverage products, “concentrate sales” represents the amount of beverages, primarily measured in number of transactions (in all instances expressed in unit case equivalents) sold by the company to customers or consumers. In the reconciliation of reported net revenues, “concentrate sales” represents the percent change in net revenues attributable to the increase (decrease) in concentrate sales volume for the geographic operating segments and the Global Ventures operating segment after considering the impact of structural changes, if any. For the Bottling Investments operating segment for the fourth quarter, this represents the percent change in net revenues attributable to the increase (decrease) in unit case volume computed based on total sales (rather than average daily sales) in each of the corresponding periods after considering the impact of structural changes, if any. For the Bottling Investments operating segment for the full year, this represents the percent change in net revenues attributable to the increase (decrease) in unit case volume after considering the impact of structural changes, if any. The Bottling Investments operating segment reflects unit case volume growth for consolidated bottlers only.
• “Price/mix” represents the change in net operating revenues caused by factors such as price changes, the mix of products and packages sold, and the mix of channels and geographic territories where the sales occurred.
• First quarter 2024 financial results were impacted by one less day as compared to first quarter 2023, and fourth quarter 2024 financial results were impacted by two additional days as compared to fourth quarter 2023. Unit case volume results for the quarters are not impacted by the variances in days due to the average daily sales computation referenced above.
