99.1 | Press Release issued by PepsiCo, Inc. dated October 10, 2001. | 5 |
Purchase, New York (October 10, 2001) -- PepsiCo today reported another consecutive quarter of double-digit profit growth, with comparable earnings per share increasing 13% to $0.48 for the third quarter of 2001, which ended on September 8.
Volume in PepsiCos base business continued to be strong, with total servings up 5% for the quarter. Servings of snacks worldwide grew 6% for the quarter, while worldwide beverage servings grew 5%. The strong volume contributed to net sales growth of 8% to $6.9 billion. On a comparable basis, division operating profits increased 11% for the quarter to $1.3 billion, and net income grew 14% to $866 million.
The merger of PepsiCo with The Quaker Oats Company was successfully completed seven weeks into the quarter on August 2, 2001. While synergies were nominal for the third quarter, the integration process is solidly on track.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Steve Reinemund said: PepsiCo enjoyed another very strong quarter. Our focus remains on growth and consistent execution of our core strategies. Innovation has been strong, with great new products like Mountain Dew Code Red, Lays Bistro gourmet potato chips and Tostitos Scoops, a new tortilla chip designed to be eaten with salsa. The integration of the Gatorade and Quaker businesses has brought no surprises, and were very excited about the enormous opportunities these businesses create for PepsiCo.
Reinemund added, Looking ahead, despite the changes in the world economic environment, we remain confident that we are on target for our previously announced full year earnings per share of $1.66, and we do not expect our fourth quarter to be materially impacted by current events. For 2002 and beyond, while no company is immune to economic turbulence, we remain committed to our 13-14% earnings per share targets, and we believe we will achieve that financial performance.
Except as specifically noted, information in this release will be presented on a comparable basis, reflecting the combination of PepsiCo and Quaker and excluding the impact of one time charges. See the note on presentation at the end of this release.
Frito-Lay North America (FLNA)
(in millions)
Twelve Weeks Thirty-Six Weeks ------------- ------------- 2001 2000 % Chng 2001 2000 % Chng ---- ---- ------ ---- ---- ------ Net Sales $2,315 $2,172 +7% $6,588 $6,207 +6% Operating Profit $526 $478 +10% $1,444 $1,321 +9%
FLNA continued its excellent performance, reporting another quarter of 10% operating profit growth. Volume increased 3% for the third quarter and 2% year to date, driven by Lays (including incremental growth from the new Lays Bistro gourmet potato chips), as well as Cheetos and Fritos. FLNAs volume growth was also enhanced by the strong growth of the Quaker snack business. For its 15th consecutive quarter, FLNA gained market share in the U.S. salty snack market and was the principal driver of growth in the category.
Healthy volume growth and higher effective net pricing were the key drivers of FLNAs excellent revenue and operating profit results. Operating profits also benefited from productivity initiatives and decreases in the costs of key commodities, which drove solid margin improvement and more than offset higher A&M.
Frito-Lay International (FLI)
(in millions)
Twelve Weeks Thirty-Six Weeks ------------- ----------------- 2001 2000 % Chng 2001 2000 % Chng ---- ---- ------ ---- ---- ------ Net Sales $1,190 $1,101 +8% $3,484 $3,272 +6% Operating Profit $144 $128 +13% $428 $364 +18%
Frito-Lay's international operations also performed well, with total kilo volume up 8% year to date and 9% for the quarter. The volume growth was led by:
FLIs net sales growth of 8%, driven principally by results in Mexico, the U.K. and Poland, would have been 11% but for the adverse impact of foreign currency exchange rates. Operating profits increased 13%, led by results in Mexico and the U.K., and would have increased 15% but for adverse foreign currency exchange rates.
Pepsi-Cola North America (PCNA)
(in millions)
Twelve Weeks Thirty-Six Weeks -------------- ----------------- 2001 2000 % Chng 2001 2000 % Chng ---- ---- ------ ---- ---- ------ Net Sales $969 $821 +18% $2,702 $2,258 +20% Operating Profit $238 $211 +13% $669 $593 +13%
PCNA had a strong quarter that was chiefly driven by innovation. Bottler case sales (BCS) grew over 4% in the quarter, while concentrate shipments and equivalents (CSE) increased approximately 4%. Year to date, BCS grew 4% and CSE grew 5%. The volume growth was driven primarily by:
PCNAs 18% net sales growth reflects the volume gains--particularly of the full-revenue SoBe and Dole products--as well as higher concentrate pricing. The 13% operating profit growth also reflected the volume and pricing gains, which were partially offset by the higher costs associated with the full revenue products and by the higher A&M associated with new products.
Gatorade/Tropicana North America (GTNA)
(in millions)
Twelve Weeks Thirty-Six Weeks ------------- ----------------- 2001 2000 % Chng 2001 2000 % Chng ---- ---- ------ ---- ---- ------ Net Sales $1,198 $1,122 +7% $3,009 $2,786 +8% Operating Profit $189 $171 +10% $450 $420 +7%
GTNA volume increased 5% for the quarter and year to date, driven principally by strong Gatorade volume growth. Gatorade benefited from continued momentum from its new flavors, including Star Fruit, Passion Fruit and High Tide.
Year to date, Gatorade has essentially held its market share across all channels, despite our key competitors stepped up promotional and pricing activity within grocery. Although growth in the juice category was weak, Tropicana continued to gain share of the not-from-concentrate juice segment, driven by solid growth from Tropicana Pure Premium.
GTNAs 7% net sales increase was driven by the higher volume and also by Gatorade price increases taken in 2000. For the quarter, operating profit was up a strong 10%.
PepsiCo Beverages International (PBI)
(in millions)
Twelve Weeks Thirty-Six Weeks ------------- ----------------- 2001 2000 % Chng 2001 2000 % Chng ---- ---- ------ ---- ---- ------ Net Sales $724 $716 +1% $1,841 $1,803 +2% Operating Profit $93 $81 +15% $218 $169 +29%
PBI also posted solid results in the third quarter. Volume grew 5% for the quarter and year to date, based on sound performance in key markets. The volume resulted in net sales growth of 1%, which would have been 5% but for the adverse impact of foreign currency exchange rates. Operating profits were up 15%, and would have grown 22% for the quarter, but for the same adverse currency impact. The key currencies that negatively impacted results were the Egyptian pound, the Thai Baht, the Japanese Yen and the Euro.
The combined performance of the international Gatorade and Tropicana businesses also contributed to PBI's sales and operating profit growth.
Quaker Foods North America (QFNA)
(in millions)
Twelve Weeks Thirty-Six Weeks ------------- ----------------- 2001 2000 % Chng 2001 2000 % Chng ---- ---- ------ ---- ---- ------ Net Sales $510 $489 +4% $1,325 $1,286 +3% Operating Profit $110 $104 +6% $275 $263 +5%
Quaker Foods North America also had a solid quarter. Volume increased 1% for the quarter and 2% year to date, led by growth in hot cereals and ready-to-eat cereals, which was partially offset by declines in flavored rices and pasta. The strong hot cereal growth was led by product news, including the introduction of a Deluxe Collection Variety Pack of adult indulgent flavors and the national expansion of its line of Nutrition for Women fortified instant oatmeal.
The 4% net sales growth was driven by the higher volume and by pricing. The 6% operating profit growth reflected the higher volume and pricing, as well as the impact of the previously announced restructuring of Quakers cereal plants. Operating profits were partially offset by increases in A&M associated with new product launches and established brand support.
Corporate
Corporate Unallocated Expense. Corporate unallocated expense increased slightly in the third quarter--in line with expectations.
Equity Income. Equity income from bottling interests grew 12% to $85 million, driven by the continuing outstanding performance of The Pepsi Bottling Group.
Net Interest. Net interest expense for the quarter declined 27% from the prior year to $35 million, reflecting lower average debt levels and higher investment balances.
Shares Outstanding. The weighted average diluted number of shares outstanding during the third quarter increased to 1.817 billion. After the close of the quarter, to encourage an orderly market following the events of September 11th, the SEC relaxed the restrictions on share repurchases by companies using pooling accounting. Since that time PepsiCo repurchased 33.7 million shares for a total of approximately $1.6 billion.
Reported EPS. In the third quarter, PepsiCo incurred merger-related costs that totaled $235 million--including $117 million of transaction costs and $118 million of integration and restructuring costs. Although not specifically related to the merger, as expected, PepsiCo also incurred asset impairment and restructuring charges relating to the re-alignment of the Quaker supply chain in the amount of $13 million.
As a consequence, on a reported basis, earnings per share for the third quarter were $0.34, a decline compared to $0.42 in the year-earlier quarter. Reported earnings per share year to date grew 7% to $1.10.
Quaker. The Quaker merger integration process is on track, meeting the specific financial and activity milestones that were expected as of the close. The sales force of Tropicana has been merged with the pre-existing Quaker/Gatorade sales force, and the hot fill manufacturing and logistics of PCNA, Gatorade and Tropicana are being integrated. Quakers snack business is being folded into FLNA and the vend/foodservice sales forces of FLNA, Quaker, Gatorade and Tropicana are being combined. Corporate overhead consolidations have been completed, while pursuing cost saving opportunities within purchasing, A&M and other services.
Miscellaneous
