4. Restructuring and Integration Costs
The Company implements restructuring programs from time to time and incurs costs that are designed to improve operating effectiveness and lower costs. When the Company implements these programs, the Company incurs expenses, such as employee separations, lease terminations and other direct exit costs, that qualify as exit and disposal costs under U.S. GAAP.
The Company also incurs expenses that are an integral component of, and directly attributable to, its restructuring activities, which do not qualify as exit and disposal costs, such as accelerated depreciation, asset impairments, implementation costs and other incremental costs. These costs are primarily recorded within SG&A expenses on the income statement and are held primarily within unallocated corporate costs.
DPS INTEGRATION PROGRAM
As part of the DPS Merger, the Company developed a program to deliver $600 million in synergies over a three-year period through supply chain optimization, reduction of indirect spend through new economies of scale, elimination of duplicative support functions and advertising and promotion optimization. The Company expects to incur total cash expenditures of $750 million, comprised of both capital expenditures and expense, and expects to complete the program in 2021. The restructuring and integration program resulted in cumulative pre-tax charges of approximately $732 million, primarily consisting of professional fees related to the integration and transformation and costs associated with severance and employee terminations, through September 30, 2021.

5. Derivatives
KDP is exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in interest rates, commodity prices, and FX rates. KDP manages these risks through a variety of strategies, including the use of interest rate contracts, FX forward contracts, commodity forward, future, swap and option contracts and supplier pricing agreements. KDP does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
KDP formally designates and accounts for certain foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate contracts that meet established accounting criteria under U.S. GAAP as cash flow hedges. For such contracts, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instruments is recorded, net of applicable taxes, in AOCI. When net income is affected by the variability of the underlying transaction, the applicable offsetting amount of the gain or loss from the derivative instrument deferred in AOCI is reclassified to net income. Cash flows from derivative instruments designated in a qualifying hedging relationship are classified in the same category as the cash flows from the hedged items. If a cash flow hedge were to cease to qualify for hedge accounting, or were terminated, the derivatives would continue to be carried on the balance sheet at fair value until settled, and hedge accounting would be discontinued prospectively. If the underlying hedged transaction ceases to exist, any associated amounts reported in AOCI would be reclassified to earnings at that time.
For derivatives that are not designated or for which the designated hedging relationship is discontinued, the gain or loss on the instrument is recognized in earnings in the period of change.
The Company has exposure to credit losses from derivative instruments in an asset position in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the agreements. Historically, the Company has not experienced material credit losses as a result of counterparty nonperformance. The Company selects and periodically reviews counterparties based on credit ratings, limits its exposure to a single counterparty under defined guidelines and monitors the market position of the programs upon execution of a hedging transaction and at least on a quarterly basis.
INTEREST RATES 
Economic Hedges
KDP is exposed to interest rate risk related to its borrowing arrangements and obligations. The Company enters into interest rate swapscontracts to provide predictability in the Company's overall cost structure and to manage the balance of fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. KDP primarily enters into receive-fixed, pay-variable and receive-variable, pay-fixed swaps and swaption contracts. A natural hedging relationship exists in which changes in the fair value of the instruments act as an economic offset to changes in the fair value of the underlying items. Changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded in earnings throughout the term of the derivative instrument and are reported in interest expense in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. As of September 30, 2021,2022, economic interest rate derivative instruments have maturities ranging from December 2021January 2027 to May 2028.April 2032.
Additionally, during the quarter ended June 30, 2022, KDP entered into reverse treasury lock contracts in order to manage the interest rate risk related to changes in value of the tender offers in the 2022 Strategic Refinancing prior to the pricing date. These contracts terminated during the quarter ended June 30, 2022, and the realized losses associated with these contracts are reported in loss on early extinguishment of debt in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Cash Flow Hedges
In order to hedge the variability in cash flows from interest rate changes associated with the Company’s planned future issuances of long-term debt, during the first quarter of 2021, the Company entered into forward starting swaps and designated them as cash flow hedges. The
In April 2022, concurrently with the 2022 Strategic Refinancing, KDP terminated $1.5 billion of notional amount of the forward starting swaps are plannedswaps.

On September 30, 2022, KDP de-designated $500 million of notional amount of the forward starting swaps. As the forecasted debt transaction is still probable to occur, the fair value of the these instruments as of September 30, 2022 was recorded in AOCI. Changes in fair value of the these instruments from the point of de-designation will be recorded as unrealized gains or losses in interest expense in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. As of September 30, 2021,2022, the remaining forward starting swaps designated as cash flow hedges have a mandatory termination dates ranging from June 2022 todate in May 2025.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE
KDP is exposed to foreign exchange risk in its international subsidiaries, which may transact in currencies that are different from the functional currencies of those subsidiaries. The balance sheets of each of these businesses are also subject to exposure from movements in exchange rates.
Economic Hedges
During the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 and 2020, KDP heldholds FX forward contracts to economically manage the balance sheet exposures resulting from changes in the FX exchange rates described above. The intent of these FX contracts is to minimize the impact of FX risk associated with balance sheet positions not in local currency. In these cases, a hedging relationship exists in which changes in the fair value of the instruments act as an economic offset to changes in the fair value of the underlying items. Changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded in earnings throughout the term of the derivative instrument and are reported in the same caption of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as the associated risk. As of September 30, 2021,2022, these FX contracts have maturities ranging from October 20212022 to September 2024.

(1)The sale-leaseback transaction included one manufacturing property and one distribution property.
The initial term of the leaseback is 15 years, with two 10-year renewal options. The renewal options are not reasonably assured as (i) the Company's position that the dynamic environment in which it operates precludes the Company's ability to be reasonably certain of exercising the renewal options in the distant future and (ii) the options are contingent on the Company remaining investment grade and no change-in-control as of the end of the lease term. The leaseback has a RVG. Refer to Note 16 for additional information about the RVG associated with the asset sale-leaseback transaction.

7.6. Segments
Effective January 1, 2021, the Company modified its internal reporting and operating segments to reflect changes in the executive leadership team to further enhance speed-to-market and decision effectiveness. These modifications did not change the Company’s reportable segments. The Company's reportable segments consist of the following:
The Coffee Systems segment reflects sales in the U.S. and Canada of the manufacture and distribution of finished goods relating to the Company's coffee system,single-serve brewers, K-Cup pods and brewers.other coffee products.
The Packaged Beverages segment reflects sales in the U.S. and Canada from the manufacture and distribution of finished beverages and other products, including sales of the Company's own brands and third-party brands, through both the DSD and WD systems. DSD and WD have both been identified as operating segments that the Company aggregated into Packaged Beverages due to similar economic characteristics and similarities in the nature of finished goods sales and route-to-markets.
The Beverage Concentrates segment reflects sales of the Company's branded concentrates and syrup to third-party bottlers primarily in the U.S. and Canada. Most of the brands in this segment are carbonated soft drink brands. Our FFS operating segment is aggregated with our Branded Concentrates operating segment into our Beverage Concentrates reportable segment due to similar economic characteristics and similarities in the nature of the product sold.
The Latin America Beverages segment reflects sales primarily in Mexico and the Caribbean from the manufacture and distribution of concentrates, syrup and finished beverages.
Segment results are based on management reports. Net sales and income from operations are the significant financial measures used to assess the operating performance of the Company's operating segments. Intersegment sales are recorded at cost and are eliminated in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. “Unallocated corporate costs” are excluded from the Company's measurement of segment performance and include unrealized commodity derivative gains and losses, and certain general corporate expenses.
Effective January 1, 2022, the Company updated its presentation of certain of KDP's corporate costs, primarily related to IT, to be aligned among the Company's segments and to more consistently reflect controllable costs at the segment level. The prior period segment disclosures reflect the revised presentation.

9. Restructuring and Integration Costs
The Company implements restructuring programs from time to time and incurs costs that are designed to improve operating effectiveness and lower costs. When the Company implements these programs, the Company incurs expenses, such as employee separations, lease terminations and other direct exit costs, that qualify as exit and disposal costs under U.S. GAAP.
The Company also incurs expenses that are an integral component of, and directly attributable to, its restructuring activities, which do not qualify as exit and disposal costs, such as accelerated depreciation, asset impairments, implementation costs and other incremental costs. These costs are primarily recorded within SG&A expenses on the income statement and are held primarily within unallocated corporate costs.
DPS INTEGRATION PROGRAM
As part of the DPS Merger, the Company developed a program to deliver $600 million in synergies over a three-year period through supply chain optimization, reduction of indirect spend through new economies of scale, elimination of duplicative support functions and advertising and promotion optimization. Although the program was initially expected to be completed in 2021, as a result of delays due to COVID-19, KDP will continue to recognize expenditures for certain initiatives which began during the integration period and are expected to be completed in 2022. The restructuring and integration program resulted in cumulative pre-tax charges of approximately $881 million, primarily consisting of professional fees related to the integration and transformation and costs associated with severance and employee terminations, through September 30, 2022. Restructuring and integration charges on the DPS Integration Program were as follows:

10. Revenue Recognition
KDP recognizes revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied. Branded product sales, which include CSDs, NCBs, K-Cup pods and appliances, occur once control is transferred upon delivery to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration that KDP expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods. The amount of consideration KDP receives and revenue KDP recognizes varies with changes in customer incentives that KDP offers to its customers and their customers. Sales taxes and other similar taxes are excluded from revenue. Costs associated with shipping and handling activities, such as merchandising, are included in SG&A expenses as revenue is recognized.

The Company allocated approximately $300 million of the settlement for resolution of the prior litigation, of which $299 million was recorded to Gain on litigation settlement and $1 million was applied against outstanding receivables from BodyArmor. Approximately $28 million of the $299 million gain on litigation settlement was held in unallocated corporate costs as a recovery of legal fees incurred during the litigation process, with the remaining $271 million of the $299 million recorded to our Packaged Beverages segment.
Approximately $50 million of the $350 million payment was allocated to the settlement of the holdback liability, which was recorded to Gain on the sale of our equity method investment.

15. Commitments and Contingencies
LEGAL MATTERS
KDP is involved from timeoccasionally subject to time in various claims, proceedings, and litigation. KDP establishes reserveslitigation or other legal proceedings. Reserves are recorded for specific legal proceedings when the Company determines that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had litigation reserves of $10 million and $14 million, respectively. KDP has also identified certain other legal matters where the Company believeswe believe an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and/or for which no estimate of possible losses can be made. The Company does not believe that the outcome of these, or any other, pending legal matters, individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, financial condition or liquidity of KDP.
Antitrust LitigationANTITRUST LITIGATION
In February 2014, TreeHouse Foods, Inc. and certain affiliated entities filed suit against KDP’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Keurig, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (“SDNY”) (TreeHouse Foods, Inc. et al. v. Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. et al)al.). The TreeHouse complaint asserted claims under the federal antitrust laws and various state laws, contending that Keurig had monopolized alleged markets for single serve coffee brewers and single serve coffee pods. The TreeHouse complaint sought treble monetary damages, declaratory relief, injunctive relief and attorneys’ fees. In March 2014, JBR, Inc. filed suit against Keurig in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California (JBR, Inc. v. Keurig Green Mountain, Inc.). The claims asserted and relief sought in the JBR Inc. complaint were substantially similar to the claims asserted and relief sought in the TreeHouse complaint.

Beginning in March 2014, twenty-sevena number of putative class actions asserting similar claims and seeking similar relief to the matters described above were filed on behalf of purported direct and indirect purchasers of Keurig’s products in various federal district courts. In June 2014, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation granted a motion to transfer these various actions, including the TreeHouse and JBR actions,suits, were transferred to a single judicial district for coordinated or consolidated pre-trial proceedings (the “Multidistrict Antitrust Litigation”). ConsolidatedA consolidated putative class action complaintscomplaint by direct purchaser and indirect purchaser plaintiffs werewas filed in July 2014. An additional class action on behalf of indirect purchasers, originally filed in the Circuit Court of Faulkner County, Arkansas (Julie Rainwater et al. v. Keurig Green Mountain, Inc.), was transferred into the Multidistrict Antitrust Litigation in November 2015. In January 2019, McLane Company, Inc. filed suit against Keurig (McLane Company, Inc. v. Keurig Green Mountain, Inc.) in the SDNY asserting similar claims and was also was transferred into the Multidistrict Antitrust Litigation. These actions are now pending in the SDNY (In re: Keurig Green Mountain Single-Serve Coffee Antitrust Litigation). Discovery in the Multidistrict Antitrust Litigation concluded in 2021, with plaintiffs collectively claiming more than $5 billion of monetary damages. Keurig strongly disputes the merits of the claims and the calculation of damages. As a result, Keurig has fully briefed a summary judgment motion that, if successful, would end the cases entirely. Keurig has also fully briefed other significant motions, including challenges to the validity of plaintiffs’ damages calculations. Keurig is also pursuing its opposition to direct purchaser plaintiffs’ motion for class certification.
In July 2021, BJ’s Wholesale Club, Inc. filed suit against Keurig (BJ’s Wholesale Club, Inc. v. Keurig Green Mountain, Inc.) in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York (“EDNY”) asserting similar claims and also was transferred into the Multidistrict Antitrust Litigation. These actions are now pending in the SDNY (In re: Keurig Green Mountain Single-Serve Coffee Antitrust Litigation). Discovery in the Multidistrict Antitrust Litigation commenced in December 2017. In August 2021, Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc. and Bi-Lo Holding LLC filed suit against Keurig (Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc. et.et al. v. Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. et.et al.) in the EDNY asserting similar claims and was also transferred into the Multidistrict Antitrust Litigation;Litigation. These cases remain in the complaint in this litigation has not been served.early stages of discovery.
Separately, a statementA number of claim wasputative class actions asserting similar claims and seeking similar relief were previously filed in September 2014 against Keurig and Keurig Canada Inc. in Ontario, Canada by Club Coffee L.P., a Canadian manufactureron behalf of single serve beverage pods, asserting a breachpurported indirect purchasers of competition law and false and misleading statements by Keurig.
Keurig’s products. In July 2020, Keurig reached an agreement with the putative indirect purchaser class plaintiffs in the Multidistrict Antitrust Litigation to settle the claims asserted in their complaint for $31 million. The settlement class consists of individuals and entities in the United States that purchased, from persons other than Keurig and not for purposes of resale, Keurig manufactured or licensed single serve beverage portion packs during the applicable class period (beginning in September 2010 for most states). The court granted preliminary approval of the settlement in December 2020, and the Company paid the settlement amount in January 2021. FinalIn June 2021, the Court granted final approval of the settlement, entered final judgment, and dismissed the indirect purchasers’ claims.
Separate from the U.S. actions described above, a statement of claim was grantedfiled in September 2014 against Keurig and Keurig Canada Inc. in Ontario, Canada, by the court in June 2021.Club Coffee L.P., a Canadian manufacturer of single serve beverage pods, asserting a breach of competition law and false and misleading statements by Keurig. To date, this plaintiff has not taken substantive action to prosecute its claims.
KDP intends to vigorously defend the remaining lawsuits described above. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of these lawsuits, the potential loss or range of loss, if any, associated with the resolution of these lawsuits or any potential effect they may have on the Company or its operations. Accordingly, the Company has not accrued for a loss contingency. Additionally, as the timelines in these cases may be beyond our control, we cannot assure you if or when there will be material developments in these matters.
PropositionPROPOSITION 65 LitigationLITIGATION
In May 2011, CERT filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, (Council for Education and Research on Toxics v. Brad Barry LLC, et al., Case No. BC461182), alleging that Keurig, and certain other defendants who manufacture, package, distribute or sell coffee, failed to warn persons in California that Keurig's coffee products expose persons to the chemical acrylamide in violation of Proposition 65.

(UNAUDITED, CONTINUED)
Keurig, as part of a joint defense group organized to defend against the lawsuit, disputed CERT's claims and asserted multiple affirmative defenses. The case was scheduled to proceed to a third phase for trial on damages, remedies and attorneys' fees, but such trial did not occur in light of California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment proposal of a new Proposition 65 regulation clarifying that cancer warnings are not required for chemicals, such as acrylamide, that are present in coffee as a result of roasting coffee beans. After the regulation took effect in October 2019, the litigation continued based on, among other items, CERT’s contentions that the regulation is legally invalid and, alternatively, cannot be applied to its pending claims. In August 2020, the court granted the defendants' motion for summary judgment, effectively ending CERT's Proposition 65 litigation at the trial court level. CERT has filed its appeal brief,appealed the trial court’s ruling, and the Company intends to continue vigorously defending itselfCalifornia Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court’s ruling in this action. However, theOctober 2022. The Company believes that the likelihood that it will incur a material loss in connection with the CERT litigation is remote and accordingly, no loss contingency has been recorded.

16. Transactions with Variable Interest Entities
The Company has a number of leasing arrangements and one licensing arrangement with special purpose entities associated with the same sponsor, which are referred to as the Veyron SPEs. The Veyron SPEs are VIEs for which KDP is not the primary beneficiary.
LEASING ARRANGEMENTS
As of September 30, 2022, the Company has entered into twelve lease transactions with the Veyron SPEs, eleven of which were associated with asset sale-leaseback transactions. Refer to Note 5 for additional information about the current period asset sale-leaseback transactions. Each lease has a RVG based on a percentage of Veyron SPEs’s purchase price; however, the Company concluded it was not probable that the Company will owe an amount at the end of each individual lease term, as the fair values of the properties are not expected to fall below the RVGs at the end of each individual lease term. As such, the Company recorded each lease obligation excluding the associated RVG. The aggregate maximum undiscounted RVG associated with the leasing arrangements as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $602 million and $549 million, respectively. This aggregate maximum value assumes that the fair value of each property at the end of either the original lease term or renewal term is equal to zero, which the Company has concluded is not probable.
The following table provides the carrying amounts of the right-to-use assets and lease obligations recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets associated with these leasing arrangements related to the VIEs as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

(2)The leasing agreements included as of December 31, 2021 include seven manufacturing sites, two distribution centers and our Frisco, Texas headquarters.
LICENSING ARRANGEMENT
ABC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of KDP, has provided a guarantee in connection with its distribution agreement with the Veyron SPEs to be paid only in the event the Veyron SPEs sell specific distribution rights and the value of those distribution rights does not exceed $142 million, which is the maximum undiscounted amount that KDP could pay under the guarantee. All obligations with respect to the guarantee will cease upon termination of the distribution agreement, which would occur upon notice by ABC not to renew the distribution agreement, KDP no longer being investment grade at the end of the term, or the sale of the distribution rights by the Veyron SPEs. As of September 30, 2022, KDP has not recorded a liability as it is not probable that the Company will have to make any payments required under the residual value guarantee, as the fair value of the distribution rights is not expected to fall below $142 million over the term of the agreement.
As of September 30, 2022, KDP had $102 million in fixed service fee commitments related to the 15-year distribution agreement which was effective on December 28, 2020, with Veyron SPEs. These commitments were used to assist the Veyron SPEs in obtaining financing. Such fixed service fee payments began on January 1, 2021.
Fixed service fees over the next five years are expected to be as follows:

Uncertainties and Trends Affecting Our Business
We believe the North American beverage market is influenced by certain key trends and uncertainties. Refer to Item 1A, "Risk Factors", of our Annual Report, combined with the Uncertainties and Trends Affecting Liquidity section below, for more information about risks and uncertainties facing us.
Some of these items, such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and itsthe invasion of Ukraine by Russia, and the resulting impacts on the global economy, including supply chain constraints and labor shortages, have led to inflation in input costs, logistics, manufacturing and labor costs. During the third quarterfirst nine months of 2021,2022, we have experienced supply chain disruptions and a significant inflationary impact compared to the prior year period. These impacts have created headwinds for our products that we expect to continue duringthrough the remainder of 2021 and into 2022.the year.
As a result of these inflationary pressures, we have increased the pricing on a number of our products. As a result of these price increases,products across our portfolio. Consequently, we may incur a reduction of volume or net sales, andwhich, combined with the inflationary pressures, could impact our margins and operating results.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we have presented for certain constant currency adjusted or adjusted financial measures for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 and 2021, which are considered non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures provided should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures presented may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies, and other companies may not define these non-GAAP financial measures in the same way. The non-GAAP financial measures are not substitutes for their comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, such as income from operations, net income, diluted EPS or other measures prescribed by U.S. GAAP, and there are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures. We use these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to U.S. GAAP financial measures, to evaluate our operating and financial performance and to compare such performance to that of prior periods and to the performance of our competitors. Additionally, we use these non-GAAP financial measures in making operational and financial decisions and in our budgeting and planning process. We believe that providing these non-GAAP financial measures to investors helps investors evaluate our operating performance, profitability and business trends in a way that is consistent with how management evaluates such performance and consistent with guidance previously provided by us. The non-GAAP measures are defined as follows:
Adjusted: Defined as certain financial statement captions and metrics adjusted for certain items affecting comparability.
Items affecting comparability: Defined as certain items that are excluded for comparison to prior year periods, adjusted for the tax impact as applicable. Tax impact is determined based upon an approximate rate for each item. For each period, management adjusts for (i) the unrealized mark-to-market impact of derivative instruments not designated as hedges in accordance with U.S. GAAP that do not have an offsetting risk reflected within the financial results, as well as the unrealized mark-to-market impact of our Vita Coco investment; (ii) the amortization associated with definite-lived intangible assets; (iii) the amortization of the deferred financing costs associated with the DPS Merger; (iv) the amortization of the fair value adjustment of the senior unsecured notes obtained as a result of the DPS Merger; (v) stock compensation expense and the associated windfall tax benefit attributable to the matching awards made to employees who made an initial investment in KDP; (vi) non-cash changes in deferred tax liabilities related to goodwill and other intangible assets as a result of tax rate or apportionment changes; and (vii) other certain items that are excluded for comparison purposes to prior year periods.
For the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, the other certain items excluded for comparison purposes include (i) restructuring and integration expenses related to significant business combinations; (ii) productivity expenses; (iii) costs related to significant non-routine legal matters; (iv) the loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the redemption of debt; (v) incremental costs to our operations related to risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic; (vi) the gain on the sale of our investment in BodyArmor as a result of the settlement of the associated holdback liability; (vii) the gain on the settlement of our prior litigation with BodyArmor, excluding recoveries of previously incurred litigation expenses which were included in our adjusted results; (viii) losses recognized with respect to our equity method investment in Bedford as a result of funding our share of their wind-down costs; (ix) transaction costs for significant business combinations (completed or abandoned) excluding the DPS Merger; (x) foundational projects, which are transformative and non-recurring in nature; and (xi) impairment recognized on the Bai brand.
For the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, the other certain items excluded for comparison purposes include (i) restructuring and integration expenses related to significant business combinations; (ii) productivity expenses; (iii) costs related to significant non-routine legal matters; (iv) the loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the redemption of debt; (v) incremental costs to our operations related to risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic; and (vi) gains from insurance recoveries related to the February 2019 organized malware attack on our business operation networks in the Coffee Systems segment.
Costs related to significant non-routine legal matters relate to the antitrust litigation. Incremental costs to our operations related to risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic include incremental expenses incurred to either maintain the health and safety of our front-line employees or temporarily increase compensation to such employees to ensure essential operations continue during the pandemic. We believe removing these costs reflects how management views our business results on a consistent basis. See Impact of COVID-19 on our Financial Statements for further information.
Constant currency adjusted: Defined as certain financial statement captions and metrics adjusted for certain items affecting comparability, calculated on a constant currency basis by converting our current period local currency financial results using the prior period foreign currency exchange rates.
For the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 and 2021, the supplemental financial data set forth below includes reconciliations of adjusted and constant currency adjusted financial measures to the applicable financial measure presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the same period.

CONSTANT CURRENCY ADJUSTED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
First Nine Months of 2022 Compared to First Nine Months of 2021
The following discussion of our results for the first nine months of 20212022 is presented on a constant currency adjusted basis. These adjusted financial results are calculated on a constant currency basis by converting our current-period local currency financial results using the prior-period foreign currency exchange rates
Consolidated Operations
Constant Currency Net Sales. Constant currency net sales increased 10.6% in the first nine months of 2022 compared to $75 million in the prior year period, driven by favorable net price realization of 9.7% and volume/mix growth of 0.9%.
Constant Currency Adjusted Income from Operations.Constant currency adjusted income from operations increased 0.2% compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by the strong growth in net sales, the benefit of productivity and a $38 million gain on an asset sale-leaseback transaction related to our strategic asset investment program. These benefits were almost entirely offset by the impact of broad-based inflation and increases in other operating costs.
Constant Currency Adjusted Interest Expense.Constant currency adjusted interest expense decreased 16.6% compared to the prior year period, driven by reduced interest expense on our senior unsecured notes as a result of our strategic refinancing initiatives.
Constant Currency Adjusted Effective Tax Rate.The constant currency adjusted effective tax rate was 22.9% for the first nine months of 2022 compared to 23.7% for the prior year period, primarily driven by our incremental income in low tax jurisdictions during the first nine months of 2022.
Constant Currency Adjusted Net Income Attributable to KDP. Constant currency adjusted net income attributable to KDP increased 3.0% compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by lower interest expense and the decrease in our effective tax rate.
Constant Currency Adjusted Diluted EPS.Constant currency adjusted diluted EPS increased approximately 2.6% over the prior year period.

Results of Operations by Segment
COFFEE SYSTEMS
Constant Currency Net Sales.Constant currency net sales increased 3.3%, driven by higher net price realization and favorable volume/mix,of 5.6%, partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix of 2.3%.
Constant Currency Adjusted Income from Operations.Constant currency adjusted income from operations for the first nine months of 2022 decreased 16.2% compared to the prior year period, as a result of broad-based inflation, particularly in green coffee, and lower volume/mix. These decreases were partially offset by the benefits of pricing actions and increased productivity.
PACKAGED BEVERAGES
Constant Currency Net Sales. Constant currency net sales increased 13.2%, reflecting favorable net price realization of 11.1% and volume/mix growth of 2.1%.
Constant Currency Adjusted Income from Operations.Constant currency adjusted income from operations for the first nine months of 2022 increased 2.1% compared to the prior year period, driven by the benefits of net sales growth, increased productivity, and asset sale-leaseback activity in the first nine months of 2022 relating to our strategic asset initiative. These benefits were partially offset by broad-based inflation, higher costs associated with higher volumes and increases in other operating costs.
BEVERAGE CONCENTRATES
Constant Currency Net Sales. Constant currency net sales increased 16.9%, reflecting higher net price realization of 14.8% and volume/mix growth of 2.1%.
Constant Currency Adjusted Income from Operations.Constant currency adjusted income from operations for the first nine months of 2022 increased 17.8% compared to the prior year period. This performance reflected the impact of net sales growth, partially offset by the impacts of broad-based inflation.
LATIN AMERICA BEVERAGES
Constant Currency Net Sales.Constant currency net sales increased 24.8%, driven by favorable net price realization of 14.1% and volume/mix growth of 10.7%.
Constant Currency Adjusted Income from Operations.Constant currency adjusted income from operations for the first nine months of 2022 increased 21.6% compared to the prior year period, driven by the benefits of net sales growth and productivity, partially offset by the impacts of broad-based inflation, higher costs associated with incremental volumes, and increased marketing expense. Adjusted operating margin improved 90 bps versus the year ago period to 21.7%.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The process of preparing our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Critical accounting estimates are both fundamental to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results and require difficult, subjective or complex estimates and assessments. These estimates and judgments are based on historical experience, future expectations and other factors and assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The most significant estimates and judgments are reviewed on an ongoing basis and revised when necessary. These critical accounting estimates are discussed in greater detail in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report.
As of the date of our annual impairment test, performed as of October 1, 2021, certain brands were considered at risk of future impairment in the event of significant unfavorable changes in assumptions including forecasted cash flows along with macro-economic risks such as the continued prolonged weakening of economic conditions and cost inflation or significant unfavorable changes in long-term growth rates and discount rates utilized in the discounted cash flows analyses. Cost inflation for certain inputs could put pressure on achieving cash flow projections and rising interest rates could cause unfavorable changes in the discount rates utilized in the discounted cash flow analyses. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $311 million for Bai, an indefinite lived brand asset.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
OurWe believe our financial condition and liquidity remain strong. Net cash provided by operations was $1,933 million for the first nine months of 2021 compared to $1,666 million for the prior year period. Although there is continued uncertainty related to the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on our future results, we believe we are uniquely positioned, with our broad portfolio and unmatched distribution network, to successfully navigate through this pandemic, and the steps we have taken over the course of the pandemic to strengthen our balance sheet leave us well positioned to manage our business. We continue to manage all aspects of our business, including, but not limited to, monitoring the financial health of our customers, suppliers and other third-party relationships, implementing gross margin enhancement strategies through our integration and productivity initiatives, and developing new opportunities for growth such as innovation and agreements with partners to distribute brands that are accretive to our portfolio.

The following summarizes our cash activity for the first nine months of 20212022 and 2020:2021:

Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents decreased $52increased $360 million from December 31, 20202021 to September 30, 20212022 primarily as a result of deleveraging, dividend payments and investments in property, plant and equipment, which outpacedproceeds from the cash generated from our operations.settlement with BodyArmor.
Cash generated by our foreign operations is generally repatriated to the U.S. periodically, as working capital funding requirements in those jurisdictions allow. Foreign cash balances were $163$435 million and $165$216 million as of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively.
Additionally, in April 2022, we chose to undertake a strategic refinancing initiative, issuing approximately $3 billion of senior unsecured notes and using the net proceeds to voluntarily prepay and retire several tranches of existing senior unsecured notes with higher interest rates, which reduced our overall interest payments and our annual cash requirements. As part of this transaction, we additionally unwound approximately $1.5 billion of notional amount of our outstanding designated forward starting swaps and received cash proceeds of approximately $125 million. Refer to Note 2 of the Notes to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information about the 2022 strategic refinancing initiative.
Principal Sources of Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity are our existing cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from our operations and borrowing capacity currently available under our KDP Revolver and 2021 364-Day2022 Revolving Credit Agreement. Additionally, we have an uncommitted commercial paper program where we can issue unsecured commercial paper notes on a private placement basis. Based on our current and anticipated level of operations, we believe that our operating cash flows will be sufficient to meet our anticipated obligations for the next twelve months. To the extent that our operating cash flows are not sufficient to meet our liquidity needs, we may utilize cash on hand or amounts available under our financing arrangements, if necessary.
Sources of Liquidity - Operations
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $267$165 million for the first nine months of 2021,2022, as compared to the first nine months of 2020,2021, driven by the increase in net income adjusted for non-cash items, led by the $349 million gain from BodyArmor, partially offset by a decline in working capital.

Accounts Payable Program
As part of our ongoing efforts to improve our cash flow and related liquidity, we work with our suppliers to optimize our terms and conditions, which include the extension of payment terms. Excluding our suppliers who require cash at date of purchase or sale, our current payment terms with our suppliers generally range from 10 to 360 days. We also entered into agreements with third party administrators to allow participating suppliers to track payment obligations from us, and if voluntarily elected by the supplier, sell payment obligations from us to financial institutions. Suppliers can sell one or more of our payment obligations at their sole discretion and our rights and obligations to our suppliers are not impacted. We have no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to enter into these agreements and no direct financial relationship through this program with the financial institutions. Our obligations to our suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment terms, are not impacted. We have been informed by the third party administrators that as of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020, $3,0272021, $3,923 million and $2,578$3,194 million, respectively, of our outstanding payment obligations were voluntarily elected by the supplier and sold to financial institutions. The amounts settled through the program and paid to the financial institutions were $2,492$2,830 million and $2,022$2,492 million for the first nine months of 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively.
Impact of the CaresCARES Act
Beginning in the second quarter of 2020, we deferred payments of employer-related payroll taxes as allowed under the U.S. Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, commonly known as the CARES Act. Payment of at least 50% of the deferred amount iswas due on January 3, 2022, with the remainder due by January 3, 2023. As of September 30, 2021, we haveWe deferred a total of $59 million in such payments.payments since the CARES Act was implemented, and we timely paid approximately $30 million as of January 3, 2022.

Additionally, in March 2021, we filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC in order to sell up to 4,300,000 shares to or through Goldman in at-the-market offerings, known as an ATM Program. The ATM Program was completed effective March 15, 2021,2038 Merger Notes, and the net proceeds of approximately $140 million were primarily used to cover our obligation to remit cash to local, state and federal tax authorities in connection with the net settlement of vesting restricted stock units during the first quarter of 2021.

Principal Uses of Capital Resources
ThroughOver the remainder of 2021,past several years, our principal uses of our capital resources following the DPS Merger arewere deleveraging, providing shareholder return to our investors through regular quarterly dividends, and investing in KDP to capture market share and drive growth through innovation and routes to market.
On October 1, 2021,Now that we announced thathave met our Boardpost-merger goals, we plan to invest in inorganic value creation through M&A, including portfolio expansion, distribution scale, geographic expansion, and new capabilities. In addition to M&A, we may consider special dividends to our investors and have repurchased shares of Directorsour outstanding common stock, as described below.
Deleveraging and Other Debt Repayments
During the first nine months of 2022, we made net debt repayments of $514 million, which includes the redemption and retirement of the remainder of our 2023 Merger Notes and 2038 Notes, as well as the tender of portions of the 2025 Merger Notes, the 2028 Merger Notes, the 2038 Merger Notes, and the 2048 Merger Notes.
Regular Quarterly Dividends
For the first nine months of 2022, we have declared total dividends of $0.575 per share.
Repurchases of Common Stock
Our Board authorized a four-year share repurchase program of up to $4 billion of our outstanding common stock beginning on January 1, 2022,potentially enabling us to opportunistically return value to shareholders. See Expansion of Our Capital Allocation Strategy below.
DeleveragingWe repurchased and Other Debt Repayments
In 2018, management set deleveraging targets for a 2-3 year time period following the DPS Merger in order to optimize our balance sheet, and we continue to be focused on achieving those targets. Since the DPS Merger, we have made net repayments of $4,047retired $88 million of our Notes, our commercial paper and our other credit agreements, including $872 million forcommon stock during the first nine months of 2021.
In May 2021, our 2021 Merger Notes were repaid at maturity, using cash generated from operations and the issuance of commercial paper.
Regular Quarterly Dividends

Capital Expenditures
We have significantly investedare investing in state-of-the-art manufacturing and warehousing facilities, including expansive investments in new facilities in Newbridge, Ireland; Spartanburg, South Carolina; and Allentown, Pennsylvania, in 20212022 and 2020,2021, in order to optimize our supply chain network through integration and productivity projects and to mitigate risk of business interruption.
Purchases of property, plant and equipment were $325$260 million and $356$325 million for the first nine months of 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively.
Capital expenditures, which includes both purchases of property, plant and equipment and amounts included in accounts payable and accrued expenses, for the first nine months of 20212022 and 20202021 primarily related to our continued investment in state-of-the-artthe manufacturing and warehousing facilities.facilities discussed above. Capital expenditures included in accounts payable and accrued expenses were $180$179 million and $255$180 million for the first nine months of 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively, which primarily related to these investments.
As we beginInvestments in Unconsolidated Affiliates
From time to move past the three-year period after the DPS Merger,time, we expect that purchasesto acquire businesses or brands, invest in emerging companies, or enter into various licensing and distribution agreements to expand our product portfolio. Our investments in emerging companies generally involve acquiring a minority interest in equity securities of property, plant and equipment will be approximately 3%a company with a protected path to ownership at our future option. In the second quarter of net sales on an annualized basis.2022, we invested $50 million in Tractor for a 19.2% equity interest.
Purchases of Intangible Assets
We have invested in the expansion of our DSD network through transactions with strategic independent bottlers to ensure competitive distribution scale for our brands. From time to time, we additionally acquire brand ownership companies to expand our portfolio. These transactions are generally accounted for as an asset acquisition, as the majority of the transaction price represents the reacquisitionacquisition of our distribution rights.an intangible asset. Purchases of intangible assets were $31$41 million and $26$31 million for the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively.
Expansion of Our Capital Allocation Strategy
Beginning on January 1, 2022, we intend to expand our capital allocation strategy to include inorganic options to drive total shareholder return. Our primary inorganic option to drive total shareholder return will be through strategic acquisitions. However, to the extent our primary option does not occur, we may employ secondary options, which may include the repurchase of shares or special dividends. See Part II, Item 2, Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds, for further information.
Uncertainties and Trends Affecting Liquidity
Disruptions in global financial and credit markets, including those caused by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, may impact our ability to manage normal commercial relationships with our customers, suppliers and creditors. These disruptions could have a negative impact on the ability of our customers to timely pay their obligations to us, thus reducing our cash flow, or the ability of our vendors to timely supply materials.
Customer and consumer demand for our products may also be impacted by the risk factors discussed under "Risk Factors" in Part 1, Item 1A of our Annual Report, as well as subsequent filings with the SEC, that could have a material effect on production, delivery and consumption of our products, which could result in a reduction in our sales volume.

Table of Contents

We believe that the following events, trends and uncertainties may also impact liquidity:
Our intention to drive significant cash flow generation to enable continued deleveraging through the end of 2021;
Our ability to access our committed financing arrangements, including our KDP Revolver and our 2021 364-Day Credit Agreement;
Our ability to issue unsecured uncommitted commercial paper notes on a private placement basis up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any time of $2,400 million;
A significant downgrade in our credit ratingscould limit i) a financial institution's willingness to participate in our accounts payable program and reduce the attractiveness of the accounts payable program to participating suppliers who may sell payment obligations from us to financial institutions, which could impact our accounts payable program; or ii) our ability to issue debt at terms that are favorable to us;
Our continued payment of regular quarterly dividends;
Our continued capital expenditures;
Future mergers or acquisitions, which may include brand ownership companies, regional bottling companies, distributors and/or distribution rights to further extend our geographic coverage;
Future opportunistic repurchases of our common stock or special dividends to drive total shareholder return;
Future equity investments;
Seasonality of our operating cash flows, which could impact short-term liquidity; and
Fluctuations in our tax obligations.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we have presented for the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 and 2020 (i) Adjusted income from operations, (ii) Adjusted interest expense, (iii) Adjusted provision for income taxes, (iv) Adjusted net income attributable to KDP and (v) Adjusted diluted EPS, which are considered non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures provided should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures presented may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies, and other companies may not define these non-GAAP financial measures in the same way. The adjusted measures are not substitutes for their comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, such as income from operations, net income, diluted EPS or other measures prescribed by U.S. GAAP, and there are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures. We use these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to U.S. GAAP financial measures, to evaluate our operating and financial performance and to compare such performance to that of prior periods and to the performance of our competitors. Additionally, we use these non-GAAP financial measures in making operational and financial decisions and in our budgeting and planning process. We believe that providing these non-GAAP financial measures to investors helps investors evaluate our operating performance, profitability and business trends in a way that is consistent with how management evaluates such performance and consistent with guidance previously provided by us.
For the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 and 2020, we define our Adjusted non-GAAP financial measures as certain financial statement captions and metrics adjusted for certain items affecting comparability. The items affecting comparability are defined below.
Items affecting comparability: Defined as certain items that are excluded for comparison to prior year periods, adjusted for the tax impact as applicable. Tax impact is determined based upon an approximate rate for each item. For each period, management adjusts for (i) the unrealized mark-to-market impact of derivative instruments not designated as hedges in accordance with U.S. GAAP and do not have an offsetting risk reflected within the financial results; (ii) the amortization associated with definite-lived intangible assets; (iii) the amortization of the deferred financing costs associated with the DPS Merger; (iv) the amortization of the fair value adjustment of the senior unsecured notes obtained as a result of the DPS Merger; (v) stock compensation expense and the associated windfall tax benefit attributable to the matching awards made to employees who made an initial investment in KDP; (vi) non-cash changes in deferred tax liabilities related to goodwill and other intangible assets as a result of tax rate or apportionment changes; and (vii) other certain items that are excluded for comparison purposes to prior year periods.
For the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, the other certain items excluded for comparison purposes include (i) restructuring and integration expenses related to significant business combinations; (ii) productivity expenses; (iii) costs related to significant non-routine legal matters; (iv) the loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the redemption of debt; (v) incremental costs to our operations related to risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic; and (vi) gains from insurance recoveries related to the February 2019 organized malware attack on our business operation networks in the Coffee Systems segment.
For the third quarter and first nine months of 2020, the other certain items excluded for comparison purposes include (i) restructuring and integration expenses related to significant business combinations; (ii) productivity expenses; (iii) transaction costs for significant business combinations (completed or abandoned) excluding the DPS Merger; (iv) costs related to significant non-routine legal matters; (v) the loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the redemption of debt, (vi) incremental costs to our operations related to risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and (vii) impairment recognized on our equity method investments with Bedford and LifeFuels.
Incremental costs to our operations related to risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic include incremental expenses incurred to either maintain the health and safety of our front-line employees or temporarily increase compensation to such employees to ensure essential operations continue during the pandemic. We believe removing these costs reflects how management views our business results on a consistent basis. See Impact of COVID-19 on our Financial Statements for further information.
For the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 and 2020, the supplemental financial data set forth below includes reconciliations of Adjusted income from operations, Adjusted interest expense, Adjusted provision for income taxes, Adjusted net income attributable to KDP and Adjusted diluted EPS to the applicable financial measure presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement for the same period.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposedThere have been no material changes to the disclosures on market risks arising from changes in market rates and prices, including movements in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. From time to time, we may enter into derivatives or other financial instruments to hedge or mitigate commercial risks. We do not enter into derivative instruments for speculation, investing or trading.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK
The majority of our net sales, expenses and capital purchases are transacted in U.S. dollars. However, we have exposure with respect to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Our primary exposure to foreign exchange rates is the Canadian dollar and Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar. Exchange rate gains or losses related to foreign currency transactions are recognized as transaction gains or lossesrisk made in our income statement as incurred. As of September 30, 2021, the impact to our income from operations of a 10% change (up or down) in exchange rates is estimated to be an increase or decrease of approximately $42 million on an annual basis.
We use derivative instruments such as foreign exchange forward contracts to manage a portion of our exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates. As of September 30, 2021, we had derivative contracts outstanding with a notional value of $879 million maturing at various dates through September 25, 2024.
INTEREST RATE RISK
We centrally manage our debt portfolio through the use of interest rate contracts and monitor our mix of fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. As of September 30, 2021, the carrying value of our fixed-rate debt, excluding lease obligations, was $11,727 million and our variable-rate debt was $998 million, comprised entirely of commercial paper. Additionally, as of September 30, 2021, the total notional value of receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swaps was $450 million and the total notional value of receive-fixed, pay-variable interest rate swaps was $250 million. Our variable-rate instruments are generally based on LIBOR and a credit spread.
We estimate that the potential impact to our interest rate expense associated with variable rate debt and derivative instruments resulting from a hypothetical interest rate change of 1%, based on variable-rate debt and derivative instrument levels as of September 30, 2021, would be an increase of approximately $8 million or decrease of approximately $3 million. Our estimate of the annual impact to interest expense reflects our assumption that LIBOR will not fall below 0%.
COMMODITY RISKS
We are subject to market risks with respect to commodities because our ability to recover increased costs through higher pricing may be limited by the competitive environment in which we operate. Our principal commodities risks relate to our purchases of coffee beans, PET, aluminum, diesel fuel, corn (for high fructose corn syrup), apple juice concentrate, sucrose and natural gas (for use in processing and packaging).
We utilize commodities derivative instruments and supplier pricing agreements to hedge the risk of adverse movements in commodity prices for limited time periods for certain commodities. As of September 30, 2021, we had derivative contracts outstanding with a notional value of $440 million maturing at various dates through February 24, 2023. The fair market value of these contracts as of September 30, 2021 was a net asset of $133 million.
As a result of the current inflationary environment, described above in Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis, we have fully utilized the aforementioned derivative instruments and supplier pricing agreements to minimize the further risk of inflation in the fourth quarter of 2021. As of September 30, 2021, we believe the impact of a 10% change (up or down) in market prices for these commodities would be minimal to our income from operations for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2021.Annual Report.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Based on evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that, as of September 30, 2021,2022, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to (i) provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Exchange Act filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms, and (ii) ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act are accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 20212022 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
We are occasionally subject to litigation or other legal proceedings relating to our business. See Note 15 of the Notes to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information related to commitments and contingencies, which is incorporated herein by reference.
BODYARMOR LITIGATION
On March 6, 2019, ABC, a subsidiary of KDP, filed suit against BodyArmor and Mike Repole in the Superior Court for the State of Delaware. The complaint asserted claims for breach of contract and promissory estoppel against BodyArmor and asserted a claim for tortious interference against Mr. Repole, in each case in connection with BodyArmor's attempted early termination of the distribution contract between BodyArmor and ABC. The complaint seeks monetary damages relating to lost distribution revenues, disgorgement of profits, liquidated and punitive damages, attorneys' fees and costs. ABC filed an amended complaint, which added Coca-Cola as a defendant to the suit and asserted a claim for tortious interference against Coca-Cola. In December 2020, the court dismissed the individual claim against Mr. Repole, but ABC's claims against BodyArmor and Coca-Cola continue. Fact and expert discovery in the case is ongoing, and a trial date is set for February 2022. ABC intends to continue to vigorously prosecute the action. We are unable to predict the outcome of the lawsuit, the potential recovery, if any, associated with the resolution of the lawsuit or any potential effect it may have on us or our operations.
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report.
ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On October 1, 2021, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $4 billion of our outstanding common stock, enabling us to opportunistically return value to shareholders. The $4 billion authorization is effective for four years, beginning on January 1, 2022 and expiring on December 31, 2025, and does not require the purchase of any minimum number of shares. We did not repurchase any shares under this program during the third quarter of 2022.
