This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refers to some of KDP's owned or licensed trademarks, trade names and service marks, which are referred to as the Company's brands. All of the product names included herein are either KDP registered trademarks or those of the Company's licensors.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting principally of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with KDP's consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's Annual Report.
References to the "first"third quarter" indicate the Company's quarterly periods ended March 31,September 30, 2023 and 2022.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The process of preparing KDP's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and judgments that affect reported amounts. These estimates and judgments are based on historical experience, future expectations and other factors and assumptions the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and judgments are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are revised when necessary. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period of change. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates.
REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
As of January 1, 2023, the Company revised its segment structure to align with changes in how the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker manages the business, assesses performance and allocates resources. This change had no impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position. Prior period segment results have been recast to reflect the Company’s new reportable segments. Refer to Note 6 for additional information on the Company’s reportable segments and Note 7 for the Company’s disaggregated revenue portfolio for each reportable segment. The change in segment structure also resulted in a change to the Company’s reporting units. Refer to Note 3 for additional information on the Company’s reporting units.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
The Company reclassified amounts in the Financing Activities section of the unaudited condensed consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the first nine months of 2022 in order to conform to current year presentation, as maturities for the Company’s commercial paper program in both periods are 90 days or less.

RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
As of January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2022-04, Liabilities — Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations. The objective of ASU 2022-04 is to require entities to disclose information about the use of supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services. While the adoption of ASU 2022-04 did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, it did impact the nature of the disclosures. The previous disclosure previously included in the Company’s Form 10-K was specific to the amount of KDP’s outstanding payment obligations that were voluntarily elected by the supplier and sold to financial institutions as informed by the third party administrators. ASU 2022-04 instead requires disclosure of the amount of KDP’s outstanding obligations loaded into the supplier finance programs by the Company at each reporting period regardless of whether the outstanding obligation has been elected by the supplier to be sold to financial institutions. Refer to Note 13 for additional information on the Company’s obligations to participating suppliers.

IMPAIRMENT TESTING
KDP conducts impairment tests on goodwill and all indefinite lived intangible assets annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Changes to the Company’s operating segments effective January 1, 2023, as described in Note 6, resulted in a change to the Company’s reporting units. The Company’s reporting units are as follows:
Reportable SegmentsReporting Units
U.S. Refreshment BeveragesU.S. Beverage Concentrates
U.S. WD
DSD
U.S. CoffeeU.S. Coffee
InternationalCanada Beverage Concentrates
Canada WD
Canada Coffee
Latin America Beverages
Management performed a step 0 analysis of the goodwill as of the effective date of the goodwillsegment change for the impacted reporting units. The Company also performed an analysis as of March 31,September 30, 2023 to ensure that there were no additional triggering events which occurred during the quarter. As a result of these analyses, management did not identify any indications that thea material carrying amount of any goodwill or any intangible asset may not be recoverable.
4. 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 contracts 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 generally reported in interest expense in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. As of March 31,September 30, 2023, economic interest rate derivative instruments have maturities ranging from February 2033December 2023 to December 2036.January 2038.
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. During the first quarter of 2023, KDP terminated the remaining forward starting swaps which were designated as cash flow hedges. As the forecasted debt transaction associated with the terminated forward starting swaps was no longer considered probable, the realized gains associated with the termination were recorded in interest expense during the first quarter of 2023.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE
KDP is exposed to foreign exchange risk in its international subsidiaries or with certain counterparties in foreign jurisdictions, which may transact in currencies that are different from the functional currencies of KDP’s legal entities. Additionally, the balance sheets of each of the Company’s Canadian and Mexican businesses are subject to exposure from movements in exchange rates.

Unrealized gains and losses are recognized as a component of unallocated corporate costs until the Company's reportable segments are affected by the completion of the underlying transaction, at which time the gain or loss is reflected as a component of the respective segment's income from operations. As of March 31,September 30, 2023, these commodity contracts have maturities ranging from AprilOctober 2023 to June 2024.2025.

FAIR VALUE OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The fair values of commodity contracts, interest rate contracts and FX forward contracts are determined based on inputs that are readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets. The fair value of commodity contracts are valued using the market approach based on observable market transactions, primarily underlying commodities futures or physical index prices, at the reporting date. Interest rate contracts are valued using models based primarily on readily observable market parameters, such as LIBOR or SOFR forward rates, for all substantial terms of the Company's contracts and credit risk of the counterparties. The fair value of FX forward contracts are valued using quoted forward FX prices at the reporting date. Therefore, the Company has categorized these contracts as Level 2.

$7 $1 $6 
(1)The sale-leaseback transaction included one distribution property.
The initial term of the leaseback is approximately 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 15 for additional information about the RVG associated with the asset sale-leaseback transaction.
6. Segments

7. Revenue Recognition
KDP recognizes revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied. Branded product sales, which include LRB, 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 following table disaggregates KDP's revenue by product portfolio and by reportable segment:

ACCOUNTS PAYABLE
KDP has agreements with third party administrators which allow participating suppliers to track payment obligations from KDP, and, if voluntarily elected by the supplier, to sell payment obligations from KDP to financial institutions. Suppliers can sell one or more of KDP's payment obligations, at their sole discretion, and the rights and obligations of KDP to its suppliers are not impacted. KDP has no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to enter into these agreements and no direct financial relationship with the financial institutions. KDP's obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment terms, are not impacted. The amount of the outstanding obligations confirmed as valid included in accounts payable as of March 31,September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $3,903$2,794 million and $4,113 million, respectively.

14. Commitments and Contingencies
KDP is occasionally subject to litigation 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 March 31,September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had litigation reserves of $18$10 million and $12 million, respectively. KDP has also identified certain other legal matters where we 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 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.). 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 complaint were substantially similar to the claims asserted and relief sought in the TreeHouse complaint.
Beginning in 2014, a number of putative class actions asserting similar claims and seeking similar relief to the matters described above were filed on behalf of purported direct purchasers of Keurig’s products in various federal district courts. In June 2014, these various actions, including the TreeHouse and JBR suits, were transferred to a single judicial district for coordinated pre-trial proceedings (the “Multidistrict Antitrust Litigation”). A consolidated putative class action complaint by direct purchaser plaintiffs was filed in July 2014. 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 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. Keurig’s motions and opposition remain pending in the SDNY.
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. In August 2021, Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc. and Bi-Lo Holding LLC filed suit against Keurig (Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc. et al. v. Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. et al.) in the EDNY asserting similar claims and was also transferred into the Multidistrict Antitrust Litigation. Following the conclusion of discovery in 2023, Keurig similarly filed a motion for summary judgment seeking dismissal of these cases and also filed other significant motions. These casesmotions remain pending in the early stages of discovery.SDNY.
A number of putative class actions asserting similar claims and seeking similar relief were previously filed on behalf of purported indirect purchasers of 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 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 courtSDNY granted preliminary approval of the settlement in December 2020, and the Company paid the settlement amount in January 2021. In June 2021, the CourtSDNY 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 filed in September 2014 against Keurig and Keurig Canada Inc. in Ontario, Canada, by 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.

15. Transactions with Variable Interest Entities
TRANSACTIONS WITH VEYRON SPEs
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, as KDP has limited power based on the contractual agreements to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIEs’ performance.
Leasing Arrangements
As of March 31,September 30, 2023, the Company has entered into sixteen lease transactions with the Veyron SPEs, fifteen of which were associated with asset sale-leaseback transactions. Refer to Note 5 for additional information about the current period asset sale-leaseback transaction.transaction during the first nine months of 2023. 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 March 31,September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were $653 million and $650 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 unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets associated with these leasing arrangements related to the VIEs as of March 31,September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

(2)The leasing agreements included as of December 31, 2022 include nine manufacturing sites, four 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 March 31,September 30, 2023, 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 March 31,September 30, 2023, KDP had $98$94 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:

TRANSACTION WITH NUTRABOLT
The Company has a preferred equity investment in Nutrabolt, which will earn the greater of (i) a 5% annual coupon on the preferred equity units plus any accretion for amounts not yet paid or (ii) KDP’s share of Nutrabolt’s earnings as if KDP’s preferred equity was converted into common units. As the other investors of Nutrabolt have to share in Nutrabolt's earnings with KDP if in excess of the 5% annual coupon, the other investors lack certain characteristics of a controlling financial interest, which qualifies Nutrabolt as a VIE. KDP is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE and therefore is not required to consolidate Nutrabolt, as the primary shareholder of the VIE has control over the board and decision-making for the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, including sales, marketing, and operations. KDP has no obligation to provide additional funding to Nutrabolt, and thus the Company’s maximum exposure and risk of loss related to Nutrabolt is limited to the carrying value of KDP’s investment. Refer to Note 10 for the carrying value of the Company’s investment in Nutrabolt.
TRANSACTION WITH LA COLOMBE
The Company has an investment in common shares of La Colombe. Under the terms of the investment agreement, KDP has certain contractual rights that will result in a return of investment at the greater of a specified floor or fair value. As other investors of La Colombe will have to absorb more risk when the specified floor is greater than fair value, the other investors lack certain characteristics of a controlling financial interest, which qualifies La Colombe as a VIE. KDP is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE and therefore is not required to consolidate La Colombe, as the primary shareholder of the VIE has control over the board and decision-making for the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, including sales, marketing, and operations. KDP has no obligation to provide additional funding to La Colombe, and thus the Company’s maximum exposure and risk of loss related to La Colombe is limited to the carrying value of KDP’s investment. Refer to Note 10 for the carrying value of the Company’s investment in La Colombe.
16. Restructuring Liabilities
RESTRUCTURING PROGRAMS
The Company records severance costs provided under an ongoing benefit arrangement once they are both probable and estimable.
2023 CEO Succession and Associated Realignment
In the third quarter of 2023, the Company began to enact several organization movements to ensure succession plans, to reinforce enterprise capabilities to support growth, and to control costs. A key component of the program was the announcement of the appointment of a Chief Operating Officer, effective November 6, 2023, with the expectation that the new Chief Operating Officer will succeed Robert Gamgort as Chief Executive Officer of the Company during the second quarter of 2024. The Company is also planning to realign its executive and operating leadership structure to enable faster decision making and to better support various strategic initiatives of the Company. Additionally, certain workforce reductions could occur as we assess our organization and upskill our talent and capabilities as needed. The program is expected to incur charges of approximately $45 million, primarily driven by severance costs and the sign-on bonus for our new Chief Operating Officer.
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 continued to recognize expenditures for certain initiatives which began during the integration period through December 31, 2022. The restructuring and integration program resulted in cumulative pre-tax charges of approximately $962 million, primarily consisting of professional fees related to the integration and transformation and costs associated with severance and employee terminations.

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 quarternine months of 2023 and 2022, 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) transaction costs for significant business combinations (completed or abandoned); (vii) non-cash changes in deferred tax liabilities related to goodwill and other intangible assets as a result of tax rate or apportionment changes; (viii) impairments recognized on certain intangible assets; and (vii)(ix) other certain items that are excluded for comparison purposes to prior year periods.
For the third quarter and first quarternine months of 2023, the other certain items excluded for comparison purposes include (i) productivity expenses.expenses, (ii) restructuring expenses associated with the 2023 CEO Succession and Associated Realignment, and (iii) costs related to significant non-routine legal matters, specifically the antitrust litigation. Additionally, during the first nine months of 2023, the non-cash changes in deferred tax liabilities related to goodwill and other intangible assets included an immaterial non-cash true-up of the valuation of foreign deferred tax liabilities related to a prior period.
For the third quarter and first quarternine 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, specifically the antitrust litigation; (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, which were 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; (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; and (viii) losses recognized with respect to our equity method investment in Bedford as a result of funding our share of their wind-down costs.costs; and (ix) foundational projects, which are transformative and non-recurring in nature.
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 quarternine months of 2023 and 2022, 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.

The following discussion of our results for the firstthird quarter of 2023 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 ratesrates.
Consolidated Operations
Constant Currency Net Sales. Constant currency net sales increased 8.9%4.1% in the firstthird quarter of 2023 compared to the prior year period, driven by favorable net price realization of 9.9%5.5%, partially offset by lowerdecreased volume/mix of 1.0%1.4%.
Constant Currency Adjusted Income from Operations. Constant currency adjusted income from operations decreased 4.5%increased 3.1% compared to the prior year period. This decreaseincrease primarily resulted from the benefits of strong net sales growth and productivity, partially offset by the impacts of broad-based inflation, higher marketing expense, and increases in other operating costs.
Constant Currency Adjusted Interest Expense. Constant currency adjusted interest expense increased 32.6% compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by increased use of our commercial paper facility in the current year period.
Constant Currency Adjusted Effective Tax Rate. The constant currency adjusted effective tax rate was relatively flat, with a rate of 22.7% for the third quarter of 2023 compared to 23.1% for the prior year period.
Constant Currency Adjusted Net Income Attributable to KDP.Constant currency adjusted net income attributable to KDP increased 1.8% compared to the prior year period, driven primarily by the increase in constant currency adjusted income from operations and gains from our investments in equity securities, partially offset by increased constant currency adjusted interest expense.
Constant Currency Adjusted Diluted EPS. Constant currency adjusted diluted EPS increased 4.3% in the current year period.

CONSTANT CURRENCY ADJUSTED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
First Nine Months of 2023 Compared to First Nine Months of 2022
The following discussion of our results for the first nine months of 2023 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 6.2% in the first nine months of 2023 compared to the prior year period, driven by favorable net price realization of 7.8%, partially offset by lower volume/mix of 1.6%.
Constant Currency Adjusted Income from Operations.Constant currency adjusted income from operations increased 1.3% compared to the prior year period. This increase primarily resulted from the benefits of strong net sales growth and productivity, partially offset by the impacts of broad-based inflation, higher marketing expense, increases in other operating costs, and the unfavorable comparison of a number of prior year benefits, partially offset by the benefits of strong net sales growth and productivity. In thebenefits. Such prior year period, we had the benefit ofbenefits included the change in our accounting policy related to the recognition of forfeitures for our stock awards, the asset sale-leaseback activity related to our strategic asset investment program, and the portion of the settlement payment from BodyArmor for the reimbursement of attorney fees.
Constant Currency Adjusted Interest Expense. Constant currency adjusted interest expense increased 0.9%11.7% compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by increased use of our commercial paper facility in the current year period.
Constant Currency Adjusted Effective Tax Rate. The constant currency adjusted effective tax rate was 20.2%21.8% for the first quarternine months of 2023 compared to 22.9% for the prior year period, primarily driven by the tax benefit received from favorable adjustments upon foreign tax return filing and excess tax deductions that were generated from the vesting of RSUs during the first quarter of 2023.
Constant Currency Adjusted Net Income Attributable to KDP. Constant currency adjusted net income attributable to KDP increased 0.6%3.2% compared to the prior year period, as increased constant currency adjusted income from operations and the decrease in our effective tax rate and the benefit of Nutrabolt’s preferred dividend waswere partially offset by lowerincreased constant currency adjusted income from operations.interest expense.
Constant Currency Adjusted Diluted EPS. Constant currency adjusted diluted EPS increased approximately 3.0%4.2% over the prior year period, driven by lower weighted average shares outstanding compared to the prior year period and the increase in constant currency adjusted net income attributable to KDP.

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.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
We believe our financial condition and liquidity remain strong. 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 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 quarternine months of 2023 and 2022:
596580
Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents decreased $331$275 million from December 31, 2022 to March 31,September 30, 2023, primarily driven by the reduction in cash provided by operating activities, dividend paymentswhich was largely impacted by the reduction in accounts payable, as well as share repurchases and share repurchases,our investment in La Colombe, partially offset by net issuances of commercial paper.
Cash generated by our foreign operations is generally repatriated to the U.S. periodically as working capital funding requirements, where allowed. We do not expect restrictions or taxes on repatriation of cash held outside the U.S. to have a material effect on our overall business, liquidity, financial condition or results of operations for the foreseeable future.

Table of Contents
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 2022 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. At any time, and from time to time, we may seek additional deleveraging, refinancing or liquidity enhancing transactions, including entering into transactions to repurchase or redeem of outstanding indebtedness, increase the size of our commercial paper program, or otherwise seek transactions to reduce interest expense, extend debt maturities and improve our capital and liquidity structure.
Sources of Liquidity - Operations
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $592$1,066 million for the first quarternine months of 2023, as compared to the first quarternine months of 2022, driven by the decrease in net income adjusted for non-cash items, led by the unfavorable year-over-year impact of the $349 million gain from BodyArmor in the first quarternine months of 2022 and a reductionchanges in our cash conversion cycle.
Cash Conversion Cycle
Our cash conversion cycle is defined as DIO and DSO less DPO. The calculation of each component of the cash conversion cycle is provided below:
ComponentCalculation (on a trailing twelve month basis)
DIO(Average inventory divided by cost of sales) * Number of days in the period
DSO(Accounts receivable divided by net sales) * Number of days in the period
DPO(Accounts payable * Number of days in the period) divided by cost of sales and SG&A expenses
The following table summarizes our cash conversion cycle:

DPODPO154 164 DPO127 174 
Cash conversion cycleCash conversion cycle(46)(70)Cash conversion cycle(23)(71)
Our cash conversion cycle increased 2448 days to approximately (46)(23) days as of March 31,September 30, 2023 as compared to (70)(71) days as of March 31,September 30, 2022. The increase in DIO reflects our efforts to restore inventory to meet customer service levels and the build up of our inventory of C4, and the increase in DSO was primarily driven by rising inflation during the year. The decrease in DPO was driven by the reduction of payment terms for certain suppliers.
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 enter 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 with the financial institutions. Our obligations to our suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment terms, are not impacted. Refer to Note 13 of the Notes to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our obligations to participating suppliers.

Sources of Liquidity - Financing
64437
Refer to Note 2 of the Notes to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for management's discussion of our financing arrangements.
We also have an active shelf registration statement, filed with the SEC on August 19, 2022, which allows us to issue an indeterminate number or amount of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities and warrants from time to time in one or more offerings at the direction of our Board.
Sources of Liquidity - Asset Sale-Leaseback Transactions
We have leveraged our strategic asset investment program to create value from certain assets to enable reinvestment in KDP. These transactions are accounted for as sale-leaseback transactions. We received $7 million and $77 million of net cash proceeds from our strategic asset investment program during the first quarternine months of 2023 and 2022, respectively, which are included in Proceeds from sales of property, plant and equipment in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Debt Ratings
Our credit ratings are as follows:
Rating AgencyLong-Term Debt RatingCommercial Paper RatingOutlook
Moody's(1)
Baa1P-2Stable
S&PBBBA-2Stable
(1)On April 3, 2023, Moody’s upgraded our long-term debt rating to Baa1 from Baa2 and affirmed our P-2 commercial paper rating and outlook.
These debt and commercial paper ratings impact the interest we pay on our financing arrangements. A downgrade of one or both of our debt and commercial paper ratings could increase our interest expense and decrease the cash available to fund anticipated obligations.
As of March 31,September 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all debt covenants and we have no reason to believe that we will be unable to satisfy these covenants.
Principal Uses of Capital Resources
Over the past several years, our principal uses of our capital resources were 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.
Now that we have met our post-merger goals, we have established a long-term plan to further reduce our leverage ratio. We also plan to invest in inorganic value creation through mergers or acquisitions, which may include portfolio expansion, distribution scale, geographic expansion, and new capabilities. In addition, we have repurchased shares of our outstanding common stock, as described below.

Table of Contents
Regular Quarterly Dividends
For the first quarternine months of 2023, we have declared total dividends of $0.20$0.615 per share.
Repurchases of Common Stock
Our Board authorized a four-year share repurchase program, ending December 31, 2025, of up to $4 billion of our outstanding common stock, potentially enabling us to return value to shareholders. We repurchased and retired $231$457 million of common stock during the first quarternine months of 2023. As of March 31,September 30, 2023, $3,390$3,164 million remained available for repurchase under the authorized share repurchase program.

Capital Expenditures
We are investing in state-of-the-art manufacturing and warehousing facilities, including expansive investments in facilities in Spartanburg, South Carolina; and Allentown, Pennsylvania, in 2023 and 2022, in order to optimize our supply chain network.
Purchases of property, plant and equipment were $62$271 million and $109$260 million for the first quarternine months of 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Capital expenditures, which includes both purchases of property, plant and equipment and amounts included in accounts payable and accrued expenses, for the first quarternine months of 2023 and 2022 primarily related to the manufacturing and warehousing facilities discussed above. Capital expenditures included in accounts payable and accrued expenses were $222$196 million and $139$179 million for the first quarternine months of 2023 and 2022, respectively, which primarily related to these investments.
Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates
From time to time, we expect to invest in beverage startup companies or in brand ownership companies to grow our presence in certain product categories, or enter into various licensing and distribution agreements to expand our product portfolio. Our investments in beverage startup companies generally involve acquiring a minority interest in equity securities of a company, in certain cases with a protected path to ownership at our future option. Investments in unconsolidated affiliates were $308 million and $48 million for the first nine months of 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Purchases of Intangible Assets
We have invested in the expansion of our DSD network through transactions with strategic independent bottlers or third-party brand ownership companies to ensure competitive distribution scale. 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 acquisition of an intangible asset. Purchases of intangible assets were $51$55 million and $10$41 million for the first quarternine months of 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Uncertainties and Trends Affecting Liquidity
Disruptions in financial and credit markets, including those caused by inflation, global economic uncertainty and rising interest rates, 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.
