    Our third-quarter results featured strong net revenue growth, an acceleration in organic revenue growth with organic volume growth across both global beverages and convenient foods. The results reflect the scale and resilience of the international business, the ongoing evolution of the global portfolio and an improved presence in underpenetrated channels and occasions,

    Third-Quarter Results Discussion • Net revenue increased 5.6% due to 3.1% organic revenue growth, a 1.7-percentage-point net benefit from acquisitions and divestitures and a 0.7-percentage-point benefit from foreign exchange translation. Organic revenue growth reflects the benefits associated with effective net pricing and a contribution from organic volume growth. ◦ In North America, convenient foods net revenue trends improved sequentially, reflecting savory snacks volume growth and volume market share improvement, offset by lower effective net pricing. The beverages business delivered 5 percent net revenue growth, primarily reflecting the benefits of acquisitions made in 2025. ◦ The international businesses performed well with each segment delivering strong net revenue growth - aided by organic volume growth within Asia Pacific Foods, International Beverages Franchise and Latin America Foods.

    • Operating profit increased 19% and operating margin expanded 195 basis points, primarily reflecting a favorable net impact of acquisition and divestiture-related charges/credits and a favorable impact of net mark-to-market gains on commodity derivatives. Core operating profit increased 3%, with core operating margin contracting 35 basis points. The core operating profit performance reflects productivity savings, effective net pricing and a 4-percentage-point favorable impact of tariff refunds. These impacts were partially offset by certain operating cost increases and higher advertising and marketing expenses. • EPS increased 17% and core EPS increased 2%, primarily driven by operating profit growth. Year-to-Date Results Discussion • Net revenue increased 6.7% due to 2.7% organic revenue growth, a 2.0-percentage-point benefit from foreign exchange translation and a 2.0-percentage-point net benefit from acquisitions and divestitures. Organic revenue growth reflects the benefits associated with effective net pricing and a contribution from organic volume growth. ◦ In North America convenient foods, organic volume and volume market share increased aided by innovation and afford…

    (a) Excludes the impact of acquisitions and divestitures. In certain instances, the volume change shown here differs from the impact of organic volume change on net revenue performance disclosed in the Organic Revenue Performance table on page A-7, due to the impacts of product mix, nonconsolidated joint venture volume, and, for our franchise beverage businesses, temporary timing differences between BCS and CSE. We report net revenue from our franchise beverage businesses based on CSE. The volume sold by our nonconsolidated joint ventures has no direct impact on our net revenue.

  23. #23prepared remarks

    Impairment and other charges We recognized impairment charges primarily as a result of our quantitative assessments of certain of our indefinite-lived intangible assets, related to the Rockstar and Be & Cheery brands . Indirect and income tax impact We recognized additional expenses related to an indirect and income tax audit settlement in our LatAm Foods segment. Pension and retiree medical-related impact Pension and retiree medical-related impact includes settlement charges related to lump sum distributions exceeding the total of annual service and interest costs, as well as net curtailment losses. Effective net pricing: Reflects the year-over-year impact of discrete pricing actions, sales incentive activities and mix resulting from selling varying products in different package sizes and in different countries. Free cash flow: Net cash from operating activities less capital spending, plus sales of property, plant and equipment. Since net capital spending (capital spending less cash proceeds from sales of property, plant and equipment) is essential to our product innovation initiatives and maintaining our operational capabilities, we believe that it is a recurring and nece…
