Rhea-AI Filing Summary
PepsiCo reported a strong first quarter, with broad-based growth across foods and beverages. Net revenue rose to $19.4 billion from $17.9 billion, while net income attributable to PepsiCo increased to $2.33 billion, driving diluted EPS up 27% to $1.70.
Operating profit climbed 24% to $3.21 billion, helped by productivity savings, pricing, favorable mark‑to‑market movements on commodity hedges and foreign exchange. Segment operating profit growth was especially strong in PBNA, EMEA, LatAm Foods and Asia Pacific Foods, partly offset by higher operating costs and continued restructuring under the multi‑year productivity plan.
Operating cash flow turned positive at $41 million versus a use of $973 million a year earlier, while cash and cash equivalents rose to $10.6 billion. PepsiCo continued investing, including productivity initiatives and integration of recent acquisitions such as poppi and Siete, and ended the period with $42.6 billion in long‑term debt and $21.4 billion of common shareholders’ equity.
Positive
- Earnings leverage: Net income attributable to PepsiCo rose 27% and diluted EPS reached $1.70, outpacing 9% revenue growth and reflecting stronger margins and cost discipline.
Negative
- None.
Insights
PepsiCo delivered double-digit profit growth on mid‑single‑digit organic revenue gains.
Revenue grew 9% to $19.4 billion, while operating profit rose 24% to $3.21 billion. EPS increased 27% to $1.70, helped by productivity savings, favorable FX and mark‑to‑market gains on commodity hedges, alongside disciplined pricing.
Growth was well balanced: PFNA revenue rose modestly but PBNA, EMEA, LatAm Foods and Asia Pacific Foods posted stronger gains, with especially robust operating profit expansion in beverages and emerging markets. Organic volume was roughly flat overall, so pricing and mix remain key drivers of top‑line growth.
PepsiCo is still executing its 2019 Productivity Plan, having incurred $3.74 billion of pre‑tax charges plan‑to‑date out of an expected $6.15 billion. Investors will look to future filings to see how ongoing restructuring, integration of acquisitions like poppi and Siete, and commodity and FX dynamics continue to influence margins through 2026 and beyond.

Key Terms

6 terms
2019 Productivity Plan financial
"To build on the successful implementation of the 2019 Productivity Plan, in 2024, we further expanded and extended the plan"
organic revenue performance financial
"Organic revenue performance is a non-GAAP financial measure"
mark-to-market net impact financial
"These measures exclude the net impact of mark-to-market gains and losses on centrally managed commodity derivatives"
net investment hedges financial
"designated as net investment hedges to partially offset the effects of foreign currency"
A net investment hedge is a financial step a company takes to protect the reported value of its ownership in foreign subsidiaries from swings in exchange rates. By using derivatives or foreign‑currency borrowings to offset translation gains or losses, the company reduces how much its balance sheet and reported equity jump around when currencies move — like locking a price tag on a foreign store so its value in the home currency stays steadier for investors.
contingent consideration financial
"we recorded a liability at fair value for the contingent consideration of $300 million payable upon achievement of certain performance milestones"
Contingent consideration is an additional payment agreed when one company buys another that will be paid later only if specific future targets are met, such as revenue, profit, or regulatory milestones. It matters to investors because it shifts risk between buyer and seller and affects the acquiring company's future cash flow and reported value — like promising a bonus after results are proven.
available-for-sale debt securities financial
"There were no impairment charges related to our investments in available-for-sale debt securities"
A type of debt investment—like bonds or loans a company buys—that the company intends to hold for a while but may sell before it matures. Think of it as lending money with the option to sell the IOU; changes in its market value alter the company’s reported net worth now but usually don’t affect reported profit until the investment is actually sold, so investors watch these holdings for balance-sheet risk and potential future gains or losses.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Our Segments
Basis of Presentation
When used in this report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “PepsiCo” and the “Company” mean PepsiCo, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, collectively.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations for reporting the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Form 10-Q). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. We have subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies, such as Argentina, Egypt and Turkey, and accordingly apply highly inflationary accounting for these subsidiaries. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 27, 2025 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial statements have been prepared on a basis that is substantially consistent with the accounting principles applied in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2025 (2025 Form 10-K). This report should be read in conjunction with our 2025 Form 10-K. In our opinion, these financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation. The results for the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any future period or the full year.
Raw materials, direct labor and plant overhead, as well as purchasing and receiving costs, costs directly related to production planning, inspection costs and raw materials handling facilities, are included in cost of sales. The costs of moving, storing and delivering finished product, including merchandising activities, are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
While our financial results in the United States and Canada (North America) are reported on a 12-week basis, all of our international operations are reported on a monthly calendar basis for which the months of January and February are reflected in our results for the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2026 and March 22, 2025.
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Additionally, the business and economic uncertainty resulting from volatile geopolitical conditions, an increasingly complex global tax environment, including changes in how existing laws are interpreted or enforced, expanded or retaliatory tariffs and changes in the interest rate and inflationary cost environment have made such estimates and assumptions more difficult to calculate. Accordingly, actual results and outcomes could differ from those estimates.
Our significant interim accounting policies include the recognition of a pro rata share of certain estimated annual sales incentives and certain advertising and marketing costs in proportion to revenue or volume, as applicable, and the recognition of income taxes using an estimated annual effective tax rate.
Unless otherwise noted, tabular dollars are in millions, except per share amounts. All per share amounts reflect common per share amounts, assume dilution unless otherwise noted, and are based on unrounded amounts. Certain reclassifications were made to the prior year’s financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

Note 2 - Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted
In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance to provide for a practical expedient that an entity may assume that conditions as of the balance sheet date remain unchanged over the remaining life of the asset when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from revenue transactions from contracts with customers. We adopted the guidance in the first quarter of 2026, on a prospective basis. The adoption did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Not Yet Adopted
In September 2025, the FASB issued guidance to improve the accounting for costs related to internal-use software. The new guidance eliminates project stages and requires capitalizing software costs to begin when (1) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and (2) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. When evaluating if a project is probable to be completed, significant development uncertainty must be assessed. Additionally, disclosures for property, plant and equipment will be required for all capitalized software costs. The guidance is effective in the first quarter of 2028 with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. Upon adoption, the guidance may be applied prospectively, retrospectively or using a modified transition approach. We are evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance to improve the disclosure of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The new guidance requires a public entity to provide tabular disclosure, on an annual and interim basis, of amounts for the following expense categories: (1) purchases of inventory, (2) employee compensation, (3) depreciation and (4) intangible asset amortization, as included in each relevant expense caption. A relevant expense caption is an expense caption presented on the face of the income statement that contains any of the expense categories noted. Additionally, on an annual and interim basis, a qualitative description is required for amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. The guidance also requires certain amounts that are currently required to be disclosed to be included in the same tabular disclosure as these disaggregation requirements. Furthermore, on an annual and interim basis, a public entity is required to separately disclose selling expenses and annually, disclose a description of the selling expenses. The guidance is
11
Table of Contents
effective for 2027 annual reporting, and in the first quarter of 2028 for interim reporting, with early adoption permitted, to be applied on a prospective basis, with retrospective application permitted. We will adopt the guidance when it becomes effective, in our 2027 annual reporting and each quarter thereafter, on a prospective basis.

2019 Multi-Year Productivity Plan (2019 Productivity Plan)
The 2019 Productivity Plan leverages new technology and business models to further simplify, harmonize and automate processes; re-engineers our go-to-market and information systems, including deploying the right automation for each market; and simplifies our organization and optimizes our manufacturing and supply chain footprint. To build on the successful implementation of the 2019 Productivity Plan, in 2024, we further expanded and extended the plan through the end of 2030 to take advantage of additional opportunities within the initiatives described above. As a result, we expect to incur pre-tax charges of approximately $6.15 billion, including cash expenditures of approximately $5.1 billion. These pre-tax charges are expected to consist of approximately 50 % of severance and other employee-related costs, 15 % for asset impairments (all non-cash) resulting from plant closures and related actions, and 35 % for other costs associated with the implementation of our initiatives.
The total plan pre-tax charges are expected to be incurred by segment approximately as follows:

Note 5 - Share-Based Compensation
Starting with awards granted in 2026, RSUs and stock options will primarily vest ratably over three years and amortized to expense on a straight-line basis. Additionally, certain executive officers and other senior executives who were previously granted 66 % PSUs and 34 % long-term cash were granted 60 % PSUs and 40 % RSUs in 2026. For PSUs granted in 2026, the final payout will be determined over a three-year period based on achievement of specified pre-established financial performance metrics, with PepsiCo’s total shareholder return relative to a specific set of peer companies acting as a multiplier. The Monte Carlo valuation model is used to determine the grant date fair value of the award, reflective of the total shareholder return market condition. Share-based compensation expense is adjusted for changes in the expected achievement of pre-established financial performance metrics throughout the three-year performance period.
The following table summarizes our total share-based compensation expense, which is primarily recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses:

(b)These notes, issued in euros, were designated as net investment hedges to partially offset the effects of foreign currency on our investments in certain of our foreign subsidiaries.
The net proceeds from the issuances of the above notes were used for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of commercial paper.
In the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2026, $1.6 billion of U.S. dollar-denominated senior notes matured and were paid.
As of March 21, 2026, we had $5.0 billion of commercial paper outstanding, excluding discounts.
Note 8 - Financial Instruments
We are exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in:
•commodity prices, affecting the cost of our raw materials and energy;
•foreign exchange rates and currency restrictions; and
•interest rates.

Table of Contents
There have been no material changes during the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2026 with respect to our risk management policies or strategies and valuation techniques used in measuring the fair value of the financial assets or liabilities disclosed in Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2025 Form 10-K.
Certain of our agreements with our counterparties require us to post full collateral on derivative instruments in a net liability position if our credit rating is at A2 (Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.) or A (S&P Global Ratings) and we have been placed on credit watch for possible downgrade or if our credit rating falls below either of these levels. The fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position as of March 21, 2026 was $97 million. We have posted no collateral under these contracts and no credit-risk-related contingent features were triggered as of March 21, 2026.
The notional amounts of our financial instruments used to hedge the above risks are as follows:

(a)Fair value hierarchy levels are categorized consistently by Level 1 (quoted prices in active markets for identical assets), Level 2 (significant other observable inputs) and Level 3 in both years. Unless otherwise noted, financial assets are classified on our balance sheet within prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets. Financial liabilities are classified on our balance sheet within accounts payable and other current liabilities and other liabilities.
(b)Classified as other assets. The fair value of our investment in Celsius is estimated using probability-weighted discounted future cash flows based on a Monte Carlo simulation using significant unobservable inputs, such as an 80 8.5 8.3
(c)Based on the price of index funds. These investments are classified as short-term investments and are used to manage a portion of market risk arising from our deferred compensation liability.
(d)Based on the fair value of investments corresponding to employees’ investment elections.
(e)In connection with our acquisition of VNGR Beverage, LLC (poppi), we recorded a liability at fair value for the contingent consideration of $300 million payable upon achievement of certain performance milestones by the third quarter of 2027. If these performance milestones are not met, no payment will be made. The fair value of the liability is estimated using discounted future cash flows based on a Monte Carlo simulation using significant unobservable inputs such as forecasts of net revenue and margin. An increase in the net revenue and margin forecasts would result in a higher fair value measurement, while a decrease in the net revenue and margin forecasts would result in a lower fair value measurement. As of March 21, 2026, the fair value of the contingent consideration was $162 million, comprised of the $278 million liability as of December 27, 2025 and a fair value decrease of $116 million in the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2026 recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.

(f)Based on Secured Overnight Financing Rate forward rates. As of March 21, 2026, the carrying amount of hedged fixed-rate debt was $2.0 billion, which was classified on the balance sheet within long-term debt obligations.
(g)Based on recently reported market transactions of spot and/or forward rates.
(h)Primarily based on recently reported market transactions of swap arrangements.
(i)Derivative assets and liabilities are presented on a gross basis on our balance sheet.

Exchange-traded commodity futures are cash-settled on a daily basis and, therefore, not included in the table.
The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments recorded at amortized cost approximate fair value (classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy) due to their short-term maturity. The fair value of our debt obligations as of March 21, 2026 and December 27, 2025 was $49 billion and $46 billion, respectively, based upon prices of identical or similar instruments in the marketplace, which are considered Level 2 inputs.

Note 11 - Acquisitions and Divestitures
Acquisition of poppi
On May 19, 2025, we acquired all of the outstanding equity interest in poppi, a prebiotic soda business, for cash consideration of $1.95 billion and contingent consideration with an acquisition date fair value of $0.2 billion. See Note 8 for further information on the contingent consideration. In connection with this acquisition, other payments may be incurred, subject to the achievement of certain conditions.
We accounted for the transaction as a business combination in the second quarter of 2025 in our PBNA segment. We recognized and measured the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition. The preliminary estimates of the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in this transaction as of the acquisition date primarily include goodwill and other intangible assets of approximately $2.0 billion. These preliminary estimates include management’s assumptions and are subject to revision as additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date, primarily related to intangible assets, which may result in adjustments to the preliminary values discussed above as valuations are finalized. We will finalize these amounts in the second quarter of 2026.
Acquisition of Garza Food Ventures LLC (Siete)
On January 17, 2025, we acquired all of the outstanding equity interest in Siete, a Mexican-American foods business, for total consideration of $1.2 billion in cash.
We accounted for the transaction as a business combination in the first quarter of 2025 in our PFNA segment. We recognized and measured the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition. The purchase price allocation was finalized in the first quarter of 2026.
The fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition of Siete and the resulting goodwill as of the acquisition date is summarized as follows:
| Inventories | $ | ||||
| Property, plant and equipment | |||||
| Amortizable intangible asset | |||||
| Other indefinite-lived intangible asset (brand) | |||||
| Other assets and liabilities | |||||
| Total identifiable net assets | |||||
| Goodwill | |||||
| Total purchase price | $ | ||||
Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the aggregate fair value of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets recognized. The goodwill recorded as part of the acquisition of Siete primarily reflects our expectation of future economic benefits arising from growth opportunities, expanded consumer reach and the strengthening of our overall product offerings. All of the goodwill is recorded in our PFNA segment and deductible for tax purposes.
Acquisition and Divestiture-Related Charges/Credits
Acquisition and divestiture-related charges/credits include merger and integration charges, transaction expenses, such as consulting, advisory and other professional fees, as well as fair value adjustments to contingent consideration. Merger and integration charges include employee-related costs, closing costs and other integration costs.

Note 12 - Supply Chain Financing Arrangements
We maintain voluntary supply chain finance agreements with several participating global financial institutions. Under these agreements, our suppliers, at their sole discretion, may elect to sell their accounts receivable with PepsiCo to these participating global financial institutions. As of March 21, 2026 and December 27, 2025, $1.6 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively, of our accounts payable are to suppliers participating in these financing arrangements. For further information on the key terms of these supply chain financing programs, see Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2025 Form 10-K.
Note 13 - Legal Contingencies
The Company is party to a variety of litigation, claims, legal or regulatory proceedings, inquiries and investigations.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Our discussion and analysis is intended to help the reader understand our results of operations and financial condition and is provided as an addition to, and should be read in connection with, our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Unless otherwise noted, tabular dollars are presented in millions, except per share amounts. All per share amounts reflect common stock per share amounts, assume dilution unless otherwise noted, and are based on unrounded amounts. Percentage changes are based on unrounded amounts.
Our Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The critical accounting policies and estimates below should be read in conjunction with those outlined in our 2025 Form 10-K.
Total Marketplace Spending
We offer sales incentives and discounts through various programs to customers and consumers. Total marketplace spending includes sales incentives, discounts, advertising and other marketing activities. Sales incentives and discounts are primarily accounted for as a reduction of revenue. A number of our sales incentives, such as bottler funding to independent bottlers and customer volume rebates, are based on annual targets, and accruals are established during the year, as products are delivered, for the expected payout, which may occur after year end once reconciled and settled.
These accruals are based on contract terms and our historical experience with similar programs and require management judgment with respect to estimating customer and consumer participation and performance levels. Differences between estimated expense and actual incentive costs are normally insignificant and are recognized in earnings in the period such differences are determined. In addition, certain advertising and marketing costs are also based on annual targets and recognized during the year as incurred.
For interim reporting, our policy is to allocate our forecasted full-year sales incentives for most of our programs to each of our interim reporting periods in the same year that benefits from the programs. The allocation methodology is based on our forecasted sales incentives for the full year and the proportion of each interim period’s actual gross revenue or volume, as applicable, to our forecasted annual gross revenue or volume, as applicable. Based on our review of the forecasts at each interim period, any changes in estimates and the related allocation of sales incentives are recognized beginning in the interim period that they are identified. In addition, we apply a similar allocation methodology for interim reporting purposes for certain advertising and other marketing activities.
Income Taxes
In determining our quarterly provision for income taxes, we use an estimated annual effective tax rate which is based on our expected annual income, statutory tax rates and tax structure and transactions, including transfer pricing arrangements, available to us in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Significant judgment is required in determining our annual tax rate and in evaluating our tax positions. Subsequent recognition, derecognition and measurement of a tax position taken in a previous period are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur.

All statements addressing our future operating performance, and statements addressing events and developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Reform Act. These forward-looking statements are based on currently available information, operating plans and projections about future events and trends. They inherently involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted in any such forward-looking statement. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: future demand for PepsiCo’s products; damage to PepsiCo’s reputation or brand image; product recalls or other issues or concerns with respect to product quality and safety; PepsiCo’s ability to compete effectively; PepsiCo’s ability to attract, develop and maintain a highly skilled workforce or effectively manage changes in our workforce; water scarcity; changes in the retail landscape or in sales to any key customer; disruption of PepsiCo’s manufacturing operations or supply chain, including increased commodity, packaging, transportation, labor and other input costs; political, social or geopolitical conditions in the markets where PepsiCo’s products are made, manufactured, distributed or sold; PepsiCo’s ability to grow its business in developing and emerging markets; changes in economic conditions in the countries in which PepsiCo operates; changes in tariffs and global trade relations; future cyber incidents and other disruptions to our information systems; failure to successfully complete or manage strategic transactions; PepsiCo’s reliance on third-party service providers and enterprise-wide systems; climate change or measures to address climate change and other sustainability matters; strikes or work stoppages; failure to realize benefits from PepsiCo’s productivity initiatives or organizational restructurings; deterioration in estimates and underlying assumptions regarding future performance of our business or investments that can result in impairment charges; fluctuations or other changes in exchange rates; any downgrade or potential downgrade of PepsiCo’s credit ratings; imposition or proposed imposition of new or increased taxes aimed at PepsiCo’s products; imposition of limitations on the marketing or sale of PepsiCo’s products; changes in laws and regulations related to the use or disposal of plastics or other packaging materials; failure to comply with personal data protection and privacy laws; increase in income tax rates, changes in income tax laws or disagreements with tax authorities; failure to adequately protect PepsiCo’s intellectual property rights or infringement on intellectual property rights of others; failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations; potential liabilities and costs from litigation, claims, legal or regulatory proceedings, inquiries or investigations; and other risks and uncertainties including those described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Our Business Risks,” included in our 2025 Form 10-K and in “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Our Business Risks” of this Form 10-Q. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Risks Associated with Commodities and Our Supply Chain
Many of the commodities used in the production and transportation of our products are purchased in the open market. The prices we pay for such items are subject to fluctuation, and we manage this risk through the use of fixed-price contracts and purchase orders, pricing agreements and derivative instruments, including swaps and futures. A number of external factors, including volatile geopolitical conditions, the inflationary cost environment, import/export restrictions and tariffs, adverse weather conditions and supply chain disruptions, have impacted and may continue to impact commodity, transportation and labor costs. Additionally, conflict in the Middle East continues to disrupt global supply chains and impact

Table of Contents
commodity prices. When prices increase, we may or may not pass on such increases to our customers, which may result in reduced volume, revenue, margins and operating results.
See Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q and Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2025 Form 10-K for further information on how we manage our exposure to commodity prices.
Risks Associated with Climate Change
Certain jurisdictions in which our products are made, manufactured, distributed or sold have either imposed, or are considering imposing, new or increased legal and regulatory requirements to reduce or mitigate the potential effects of climate change, including regulation of greenhouse gas emissions and potential carbon pricing programs. These new or increased legal or regulatory requirements, along with initiatives to meet our sustainability goals, could result in significant increased costs and additional investments in facilities and equipment. However, we are unable to predict the scope, nature and timing of any new or increased environmental laws and regulations and therefore cannot predict the ultimate impact of such laws and regulations on our business or financial results. We continue to monitor existing and proposed laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which our products are made, manufactured, distributed and sold and to consider actions we may take to potentially mitigate the unfavorable impact, if any, of such laws or regulations.
Risks Associated with International Operations
In the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2026, our financial results outside of North America reflect the months of January and February. In the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2026, our operations outside of the United States generated 39% of our consolidated net revenue, with Mexico, Canada, China, Russia, the United Kingdom, Brazil and South Africa, collectively, comprising 23% of our consolidated net revenue. As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange risks in the international markets in which our products are made, manufactured, distributed or sold. In the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2026, favorable foreign exchange contributed to net revenue performance by 3 percentage points primarily due to an appreciation of the Mexican peso, Russian ruble and euro. Currency declines against the U.S. dollar which are not offset could adversely impact our future financial results.
In addition, volatile economic, political, social and geopolitical conditions, civil unrest and wars and other military conflicts, acts of terrorism and natural disasters and other catastrophic events in certain markets in which our products are made, manufactured, distributed or sold, including in Argentina, Brazil, China, Mexico, the Middle East (including Egypt), Russia, Turkey and Ukraine, continue to result in challenging operating environments and have resulted in and could continue to result in changes in how we operate in certain of these markets. Debt and credit issues, currency controls or fluctuations, sanctions and export controls in certain of these international markets (including restrictions on the transfer of funds to and from certain markets) have also continued to impact our operations in certain of these international markets. We continue to closely monitor the economic, operating and political environment in the markets in which we operate, including risks of additional impairments or write-offs and currency fluctuation, and to identify actions to potentially mitigate any unfavorable impacts on our future results. Our operations in Russia accounted for 4% of our consolidated net revenue for the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2026. Russia accounted for 5% of our consolidated assets, including 19% of our consolidated cash and cash equivalents and 40% of our accumulated currency translation adjustment loss as of March 21, 2026.
See Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q for the fair values of our financial instruments as of March 21, 2026 and December 27, 2025 and Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2025 Form 10-K for a discussion of these items.

Risks Associated with Tariffs
The imposition of tariffs (including U.S. tariffs imposed or threatened to be imposed on China, the European Union, Canada and Mexico and other countries and any tariffs imposed by such countries) have impacted and could continue to impact our supply chain resulting in increased input costs, including the cost of certain raw materials and packaging. During the twelve weeks ended March 21, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that many of the tariffs previously imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act were invalid. The ultimate availability, timing, and amount of any potential refunds of such tariffs remain highly uncertain and are subject to further legal, regulatory, and administrative developments. In addition, the U.S. Administration initiated new tariffs and may impose additional tariffs. As a result, there remains significant uncertainty regarding the duration and scope of existing and future tariffs and the impact of such tariffs will continue to vary, including based on where inputs are sourced from and shipped to. In addition, any supply chain constraints, inflationary impacts or reduced consumer demand for our products as a result of such tariffs or ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty have impacted and could continue to impact our results. We will continue to evaluate the nature and extent of the impact of these tariffs on our business, to identify actions to potentially mitigate, where possible, any unfavorable impacts on our business and to monitor the regulatory and administrative developments around the potential refund of tariffs previously paid and assess their impact on our future results.
Imposition of Taxes and Regulations on our Products
Certain jurisdictions in which our products are made, manufactured, distributed or sold have either imposed, or are considering imposing, new or increased taxes or regulations on the manufacture, distribution or sale of our products or their packaging, ingredients or substances contained in, or attributes of, our products or their packaging, commodities used in the production of our products or their packaging or the recyclability or recoverability of our packaging. These taxes and regulations vary in scope and form. For example, some taxes apply to all beverages, including non-caloric beverages, while others apply only to beverages with a caloric sweetener (e.g., sugar). Further, some regulations apply to all products using certain types of packaging (e.g., plastic), while others are designed to increase the sustainability of packaging, encourage waste reduction and increased recycling rates or facilitate the waste management process or restrict the sale of products in certain packaging. In addition, certain jurisdictions in which our snack products are sold have either imposed or are considering imposing, new or increased taxes on the manufacture, distribution or sale of certain of our snack products as a result of ingredients (such as sugar, sodium or saturated fat) contained in our products.
We sell a wide variety of beverages and convenient foods in more than 200 countries and territories and the profile of the products we sell, the amount of revenue attributable to such products and the type of packaging used vary by jurisdiction. Because of this, we cannot predict the scope or form potential taxes, regulations or other limitations on our products or their packaging may take, and therefore cannot predict the impact of such taxes, regulations or limitations on our financial results. In addition, taxes, regulations and limitations may impact us and our competitors differently. We expect continued scrutiny of certain ingredients and substances present in certain of our products and packaging. We continue to monitor existing and proposed taxes and regulations in the jurisdictions in which our products are made, manufactured, distributed and sold and to consider actions we may take to potentially mitigate the unfavorable impact, if any, of such taxes, regulations or limitations, including advocating alternative measures with respect to the imposition, form and scope of any such taxes, regulations or limitations.
Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Model Global Minimum Tax
In 2026, widespread implementation of the OECD model rules for a global minimum tax rate of 15% came into effect in various countries in which we do business, including European Union member states,
27

resulting in an increase in our income tax provision. We will continue to monitor for additional changes to the legislation, which could further impact our income tax provision.
Retail Landscape
Our industry continues to be affected by disruption of the retail landscape, including the continued growth in sales through e-commerce websites and mobile commerce applications, including through subscription services, the integration of physical and digital operations among retailers and the international expansion of hard discounters. We have seen and expect to continue to see a further shift to e-commerce, online-to-offline and other online purchasing by consumers. We continue to monitor changes in the retail landscape and seek to identify actions we may take to build our global e-commerce and digital capabilities, such as expanding our direct-to-consumer business, and distribute our products effectively through all existing and emerging channels of trade and potentially mitigate any unfavorable impacts on our future results.
Changing dynamics at the retail level have also impacted and may continue to impact our ability to grow in certain jurisdictions. In this changing retail landscape, retailers and buying groups are shifting traditional value propositions, removing our products or otherwise reducing shelf space allocated to our products and focusing on introducing and developing private-label brands. We have seen and expect to continue to see retailers and buying groups impact our ability to compete in these jurisdictions. We continue to monitor our relationships with retailers and buying groups and seek to identify actions we may take to maintain mutually beneficial relationships and resolve any significant disputes and potentially mitigate any unfavorable impacts on our future results.
Cautionary statements included above and in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Our Business Risks” in our 2025 Form 10-K should be considered when evaluating our trends and future results.
Results of Operations – Consolidated Review
Consolidated Results
Volume
Physical or unit volume is one of the key metrics management uses internally to make operating and strategic decisions, including the preparation of our annual operating plan and the evaluation of our business performance. We believe volume provides additional information to facilitate the comparison of our historical operating performance and underlying trends and provides additional transparency on how we evaluate our business because it measures demand for our products at the consumer level. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Our Financial Results – Volume” included in our 2025 Form 10-K for further information on volume. Unit volume performance adjusts for the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures. Acquisitions and divestitures, when used in this report, reflect mergers and acquisitions activity, as well as divestitures and other structural changes. Further, unit volume performance excludes the impact of an additional week of results every five or six years (53rd reporting week), where applicable.
We report all of our international operations on a monthly calendar basis. The 12 weeks ended March 21, 2026 and March 22, 2025 include volume outside of North America for the months of January and February.

Other pension and retiree medical benefits income increased $35 million, primarily reflecting the impact of the prior year recognition of special termination benefits due to restructuring actions as part of our 2019 Productivity Plan, changes in discount rates and higher expected return on plan assets.
Net interest expense and other increased $37 million, due to higher average debt balances, lower interest rates on average cash balances, higher losses on the market value of investments used to economically hedge a portion of our deferred compensation liability, partially offset by higher average cash balances and lower interest rates on average debt balances.
The reported tax rate was even with the prior year, primarily reflecting higher tax benefits from foreign results, offset by the impact of the OECD model global minimum tax.
Results of Operations – Segment Review
While our financial results in North America are reported on a 12-week basis, all of our international operations are reported on a monthly calendar basis for which the months of January and February are reflected in our results for the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2026 and March 22, 2025.
In the discussions of net revenue and operating profit below, “effective net pricing” reflects the year-over-year impact of discrete pricing actions, sales incentive activities and mix resulting from selling varying products in different package sizes and in different countries.

Non-GAAP Measures
Certain financial measures contained in this Form 10-Q adjust for the impact of specified items and are not in accordance with GAAP. We use non-GAAP financial measures internally to make operating and strategic decisions, including the preparation of our annual operating plan, evaluation of our overall business performance and as a factor in determining compensation for certain employees. We believe presenting non-GAAP financial measures in this Form 10-Q provides additional information to facilitate comparison of our historical operating results and trends in our underlying operating results and provides additional transparency on how we evaluate our business. We also believe presenting these measures in this Form 10-Q allows investors to view our performance using the same measures that we use in evaluating our financial and business performance and trends.
We consider quantitative and qualitative factors in assessing whether to adjust for the impact of items that may be significant or that could affect an understanding of our ongoing financial and business performance or trends. Examples of items for which we may make adjustments include: amounts related to mark-to-market gains or losses (non-cash); charges related to restructuring plans; charges and credits associated with acquisitions and divestitures; gains associated with divestitures; asset impairment charges (non-cash); product recall-related impact; pension and retiree medical-related amounts, including all settlement and curtailment gains and losses; charges or adjustments related to the enactment of new laws, rules or regulations, such as tax law changes; amounts related to the resolution of tax positions; tax benefits related to reorganizations of our operations; and debt redemptions, cash tender or exchange offers. See below and “Items Affecting Comparability” for a description of adjustments to our GAAP financial measures in this Form 10-Q.
Non-GAAP information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In
32
Table of Contents
addition, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as or comparable to similar non-GAAP measures presented by other companies.
The following non-GAAP financial measures contained in this Form 10-Q are discussed below:
Organic revenue performance
We define organic revenue performance as a measure that adjusts for the impacts of foreign exchange translation (on a constant currency basis, as defined below), acquisitions and divestitures, and every five or six years, the impact of the 53rd reporting week. We also apply the constant currency calculation for our subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies. Adjusting for acquisitions and divestitures reflects mergers and acquisitions activity, as well as divestitures and other structural changes, including changes in ownership or control in consolidated subsidiaries and nonconsolidated equity investees. We believe organic revenue performance provides useful information in evaluating the results of our business because it adjusts for items that we believe are not indicative of ongoing performance or that we believe impact comparability with the prior year.
See “Net Revenue and Organic Revenue Performance” in “Results of Operations – Segment Review” for further information.
Cost of sales, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expenses, other pension and retiree medical benefits income, provision for income taxes and net income attributable to PepsiCo, each adjusted for items affecting comparability, operating profit and net income attributable to PepsiCo per common share – diluted, each adjusted for items affecting comparability and the corresponding constant currency growth rates
These measures exclude the net impact of mark-to-market gains and losses on centrally managed commodity derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting, restructuring and impairment charges related to our 2019 Productivity Plan and charges and credits associated with our acquisitions and divestitures (see “Items Affecting Comparability” for a detailed description of each of these items). We also evaluate performance on operating profit and net income attributable to PepsiCo per common share – diluted, each adjusted for items affecting comparability on a constant currency basis, which measure our financial results assuming constant foreign currency exchange rates used for translation based on the rates in effect for the comparable prior-year period. In order to compute our constant currency results, we multiply or divide, as appropriate, our current-year U.S. dollar results by the current-year average foreign exchange rates and then multiply or divide, as appropriate, those amounts by the prior-year average foreign exchange rates. We also apply the constant currency calculation for our subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies. We believe these measures provide useful information in evaluating the results of our business because they exclude items that we believe are not indicative of our ongoing performance or that we believe impact comparability with the prior year.
Free cash flow
We define free cash flow as net cash from operating activities less capital spending, plus sales of property, plant and equipment. Since net capital spending (capital spending less cash proceeds from sales of property, plant and equipment) is essential to our product innovation initiatives and maintaining our operational capabilities, we believe that it is a recurring and necessary use of cash. As such, we believe investors should also consider net capital spending when evaluating our cash from operating activities. Free cash flow is used by us primarily for acquisitions and financing activities, including debt repayments, dividends and share repurchases. Free cash flow is not a measure of cash available for discretionary expenditures since we have certain non-discretionary obligations such as debt service that are not deducted from the measure.
See “Free Cash Flow” in “Our Liquidity and Capital Resources” for further information.

Mark-to-Market Net Impact
We centrally manage commodity derivatives on behalf of our segments. These commodity derivatives include agricultural products, energy and metals. Commodity derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are marked to market each period with the resulting gains and losses recorded in corporate unallocated expenses as either cost of sales or selling, general and administrative expenses, depending on the underlying commodity. These gains and losses are subsequently reflected in segment results when the segments recognize the cost of the underlying commodity in operating profit. Therefore, the segments realize the economic effects of the derivative without experiencing any resulting mark-to-market volatility, which remains in corporate unallocated expenses.

Restructuring and Impairment Charges
2019 Multi-Year Productivity Plan
The 2019 Productivity Plan leverages new technology and business models to further simplify, harmonize and automate processes; re-engineers our go-to-market and information systems, including deploying the right automation for each market; and simplifies our organization and optimizes our manufacturing and supply chain footprint. To build on the successful implementation of the 2019 Productivity Plan, in 2024, we further expanded and extended the plan through the end of 2030 to take advantage of additional opportunities within the initiatives described above. As a result, we expect to incur pre-tax charges of approximately $6.15 billion, including cash expenditures of approximately $5.1 billion. Plan-to-date through March 21, 2026, we have incurred pre-tax charges of $3.7 billion, including cash expenditures of $2.8 billion. We expect to incur the majority of the remaining pre-tax charges and cash expenditures through 2027, with the balance to be incurred through 2030. Charges include severance and other employee costs, asset impairments and other costs.
See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q, as well as Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2025 Form 10-K, for further information related to our 2019 Productivity Plan.
We regularly evaluate productivity initiatives beyond the productivity plan and other initiatives discussed above and in Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Acquisition and Divestiture-Related Charges/Credits
Acquisition and divestiture-related charges/credits include merger and integration charges, transaction expenses, such as consulting, advisory and other professional fees, as well as fair value adjustments to contingent consideration. Merger and integration charges include employee-related costs, closing costs and other integration costs.
See Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.
Our Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe that our cash generating capability and financial condition, together with our revolving credit facilities, working capital lines and other available methods of debt financing, such as commercial paper borrowings and long-term debt financing, will be adequate to meet our operating, investing and financing needs, including with respect to our net capital spending plans. Our primary sources of liquidity include cash from operations, proceeds obtained from issuances of commercial paper and long-term debt, and cash and cash equivalents. These sources of cash are available to fund cash outflows that have both a short- and long-term component, including debt repayments and related interest payments; payments for acquisitions; operating leases; purchase, marketing, and other contractual commitments, including capital expenditures and the transition tax liability under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJ Act). In addition, these sources of cash fund other cash outflows including anticipated dividend payments and share repurchases. We do not have guarantees or off-balance sheet financing arrangements, including variable interest entities, that we believe could have a material impact on our liquidity. See “Our Business Risks” and Note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q, as well as “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Our Business Risks” and Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2025 Form 10-K for further information.
As of March 21, 2026, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in our consolidated subsidiaries outside of Russia that are subject to currency controls or currency exchange restrictions were not material. As of March 21, 2026, Russia accounted for 19% of our consolidated cash and cash equivalents. Our

sources and uses of cash were not materially adversely impacted by the cash and cash equivalents held in Russia and, to date, we have not identified any material impact on our liquidity or capital resources as a result of these amounts. See “Our Business Risks” for further information on our operations in Russia.
The TCJ Act imposed a one-time mandatory transition tax on undistributed international earnings. As of March 21, 2026, our mandatory transition tax liability was $965 million, which was fully paid in April 2026. See “Our Liquidity and Capital Resources” and Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2025 Form 10-K for further discussion of the TCJ Act.
Supply chain financing arrangements did not have a material impact on our liquidity or capital resources in the periods presented and we do not expect such arrangements to have a material impact on our liquidity or capital resources for the foreseeable future. See Note 12 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of supply chain financing arrangements.
Operating Activities
During the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2026, net cash provided by operating activities was $41 million, compared to net cash used for operating activities of $1.0 billion in the prior-year period. The increase in operating cash flow primarily reflects favorable operating profit performance and favorable working capital comparisons.
Investing Activities
During the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2026, net cash used for investing activities was $0.5 billion, primarily reflecting net capital spending of $0.4 billion.
We regularly review our plans with respect to net capital spending and believe that we have sufficient liquidity to meet our net capital spending needs.
Financing Activities
During the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2026, net cash provided by financing activities was $1.7 billion, primarily reflecting proceeds from the issuances of long-term debt of $3.0 billion and net proceeds from short-term borrowings of $2.4 billion, partially offset by the return of operating cash flow to our shareholders through dividend payments and share repurchases of $2.1 billion, as well as payments of long-term debt borrowings of $1.6 billion.
We annually review our capital structure with our Board of Directors, including our dividend policy and share repurchase activity. On February 3, 2026, we announced a new share repurchase program providing for the repurchase of up to $10 billion of PepsiCo common stock which commenced on February 1, 2026 and will expire on February 28, 2030. In addition, on February 3, 2026, we announced a 4% increase in our annualized dividend to $5.92 per share from $5.69 per share, effective with the dividend expected to be paid in June 2026. We expect to return a total of approximately $8.9 billion to shareholders in 2026, comprising dividends of approximately $7.9 billion and share repurchases of approximately $1.0 billion.

We use free cash flow primarily for acquisitions and financing activities, including debt repayments, dividends and share repurchases. We expect to continue to return free cash flow to our shareholders primarily through dividends and share repurchases while maintaining Tier 1 commercial paper access, which we believe will facilitate appropriate financial flexibility and ready access to global capital and credit markets at favorable interest rates. See “Our Business Risks” included in this Form 10-Q, as well as “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Our Business Risks,” included in our 2025 Form 10-K, for certain factors that may impact our credit ratings or our operating cash flows.
Any downgrade of our credit ratings by a credit rating agency, especially any downgrade to below investment grade, whether or not as a result of our actions or factors which are beyond our control, could increase our future borrowing costs and impair our ability to access capital and credit markets on terms commercially acceptable to us, or at all. In addition, any downgrade of our current short-term credit ratings could impair our ability to access the commercial paper market with the same flexibility that we have experienced historically, and therefore require us to rely more heavily on more expensive types of debt financing. See Note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements and “Our Business Risks” included in this Form 10-Q, as well as “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Our Business Risks” included in our 2025 Form 10-K for further information.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
PepsiCo, Inc.:
Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of PepsiCo, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of March 21, 2026, the related Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, Comprehensive Income, Cash Flows and Equity for the twelve weeks ended March 21, 2026 and March 22, 2025, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated interim financial information). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial information for it to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Consolidated Balance Sheet of the Company as of December 27, 2025, and the related Consolidated Statements of Income, Comprehensive Income, Cash Flows and Equity for the fiscal year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 2, 2026, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 27, 2025 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the Consolidated Balance Sheet from which it has been derived.
Basis for Review Results
This consolidated interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of consolidated interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
See “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Our Business Risks.” In addition, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Our Business Risks” and Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2025 Form 10-K.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
During the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2026, we continued migrating certain of our financial processing systems to an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution. These systems implementations are part of our ongoing global business transformation initiative, and we plan to continue implementing such systems throughout other parts of our businesses in phases over the next several years. In connection with these ERP implementations, we are updating and will continue to update our internal control over financial reporting, as necessary, to accommodate modifications to our business processes and accounting procedures. During the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2026, we continued implementing these systems, resulting in changes that materially affected our internal control over financial reporting. These system implementations did not have an adverse effect, nor do we expect will have an adverse effect, on our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, in connection with our 2019 multi-year productivity plan, we continue to migrate to shared business models across our operations to further simplify, harmonize and automate processes. In connection with our 2019 multi-year productivity plan and resulting organization and business process changes, we continue to enhance the design and documentation of our internal control over financial reporting processes, to maintain effective controls over our financial reporting. These changes have not materially affected, and we do not expect them to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Except with respect to the continued implementation of ERP systems, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We will continue to assess the impact on our internal control over financial reporting as we continue to implement our ERP solution and our 2019 multi-year productivity plan.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings.
The following information should be read in conjunction with the discussion set forth under Part I, “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” in our 2025 Form 10-K.
As previously disclosed, on April 11, 2025, the Commissioner of the Department of Licensing and Consumer Affairs and Government of the United States Virgin Islands filed a lawsuit against PepsiCo, Inc., PepsiCo Caribbean, Inc., and two other unrelated parties asserting claims for public nuisance and deceptive acts or practices in the conduct of business allegedly resulting in plastic pollution in the Virgin Islands (the USVI Matter). The lawsuit was initially filed in the Superior Court of the United States Virgin Islands, Division of St. Croix. On May 19, 2025, the defendants removed the case to federal court in the United States District Court of the Virgin Islands, Division of St. Croix. On June 18, 2025, the Government of the United States Virgin Islands filed a motion to remand the case back to the Superior Court. On March 23, 2026, the United States District Court of the Virgin Islands, Division of St. Croix issued a decision remanding our case back to the Superior Court of the United States Virgin Islands, Division of St. Croix, where the matter is currently pending. Please refer to Part I, “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” in our 2025 Form 10-K for additional information.
In addition, we and our subsidiaries are party to a variety of litigation, claims, legal or regulatory proceedings, inquiries and investigations. While the results of the NYS Matter, Baltimore Matter and Los Angeles Matters (each, as defined in our 2025 Form 10-K), the USVI Matter and each such other litigation, claim, legal or regulatory proceeding, inquiry and investigation cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of the foregoing is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. See also “Item 1. Business – Regulatory Matters” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2025 Form 10-K.

FAQ
How did PepsiCo (PEP) perform financially in the latest quarter?
PepsiCo grew net revenue to $19.4 billion, up 9% year over year. Net income attributable to PepsiCo increased to $2.33 billion, and diluted EPS rose 27% to $1.70, supported by productivity savings, pricing and favorable foreign exchange.
What were PepsiCo (PEP) segment results for the quarter?
PepsiCo’s PFNA, PBNA, IB Franchise, EMEA, LatAm Foods and Asia Pacific Foods all contributed to higher net revenue. Operating profit grew particularly strongly in PBNA, EMEA, LatAm Foods and Asia Pacific Foods, reflecting pricing, productivity savings and, in some regions, favorable foreign exchange translation.
How did PepsiCo’s 2019 Productivity Plan impact quarterly results?
PepsiCo recorded $133 million in restructuring and impairment charges this quarter under its 2019 Productivity Plan. Plan‑to‑date charges total $3.74 billion of an expected $6.15 billion, with savings helping support operating margin expansion despite ongoing cost pressures.
What was PepsiCo’s cash flow and liquidity position this quarter?
Net cash provided by operating activities was $41 million, compared with a $973 million use last year. Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash increased to $10.55 billion, while the company maintained significant access to debt markets and paid $1.97 billion in dividends.
How much debt does PepsiCo (PEP) have and were new notes issued?
PepsiCo reported $42.58 billion in long‑term debt obligations and $10.15 billion in short‑term debt. During the quarter it issued several euro‑denominated notes totaling €2.5 billion with maturities from 2028 to 2047, and repaid $1.6 billion of maturing U.S. dollar senior notes.
What acquisitions affected PepsiCo (PEP) in the period?
PepsiCo is integrating its $1.95 billion acquisition of prebiotic soda brand poppi and the $1.2 billion acquisition of Siete. Poppi drove a fair value decrease of $116 million in contingent consideration, while Siete added goodwill and intangibles, strengthening PFNA’s better‑for‑you offerings.
