Exhibit 99.1

 

 

PepsiCo Reports 15% Second Quarter Earnings per Share Growth, Driven by Double-Digit

Division Operating Profit Performance

 

 

PURCHASE, N.Y., July 12, 2005 – PepsiCo reported a 15% increase in second-quarter earnings per share to $0.70, fueled by Division operating profit growth of more than 10%.

 

Net revenues increased 9%, led by double-digit growth at PepsiCo International and Quaker Foods North America and solid performance in North American beverage and snacks units.

 

Chairman and CEO Steve Reinemund said, “We are very pleased with our performance for the quarter and the first half of the year. Our portfolio of operating businesses delivered another quarter of very strong top line and bottom line results, giving us added confidence in our ability to meet the business and financial objectives we’ve laid out for 2005.”

Frito-Lay North America (FLNA) generated 6% revenue growth with strong performance of Lay’s, Cheetos, Tostitos and Quaker snacks.

 

Second quarter revenue increased 6% with strong growth in most of the division’s largest brands. Core salty snacks revenue grew 6% on volume growth of almost 3%, led by high single-digit growth in Lay’s, Cheetos and Tostitos brands. Revenues from the division’s other macro snacks products grew mid teens, with double-digit growth in Quaker brand Chewy Granola bars, Fruit and Oatmeal bars, and rice cake products. Revenue growth outpaced volume growth as a result of favorable pricing and mix.

 

Operating profit grew 6%, in line with revenue growth. Operating margins were constrained by higher labor and benefits costs and increased fuel costs.

 

PepsiCo Beverages North America (PBNA) grew revenues 4%; volume declined slightly lapping over 7% growth from 2004.

 

Volumes declined slightly in the second quarter, lapping the strongest quarter from 2004 when volumes increased over 7%. Unfavorable Easter holiday timing had a 50-basis point impact on reported volume growth in the quarter. A carbonated soft drink (CSD) volume decline of 4% was substantially offset by a 5% increase in non-carbonated beverage volume.

 

Non-carbonated beverage volume growth was fueled by double-digit growth in Aquafina and Propel fitness water and low single-digit growth in Gatorade. Aquafina benefited from lower retail pricing and the introductions of the Aquafina Flavor Splash and Sparkling lines. Tropicana chilled juice volume declined mid single-digits as a result of higher pricing.

 

Carbonated soft drinks performance reflects a mid single-digit decline in regular CSDs, partially offset by low single-digit growth in diet CSDs.

 

Net revenue grew 4% reflecting positive mix and pricing, offset partially by a decline in concentrate shipments. Operating profit grew 4%, in line with revenue growth as the impact of higher pricing was partially offset by higher supply chain costs.

PepsiCo International (PI) profits increased 23% on 15% revenue gain.

 

Snacks volume growth of 3% in the quarter was driven by strong double-digit growth in India, China, Russia, Australia, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. This growth was offset somewhat by mid single-digit volume declines at Walker’s in the UK and Gamesa in Mexico, and a 1% volume decline at Sabritas in Mexico.

 

Beverage volume growth of 10% was led by double-digit gains in the Middle East, China, Argentina, and Venezuela. These gains were offset somewhat by pricing-related declines in India. Carbonated soft drinks grew at a high single-digit rate, and non-carbonated beverage volume grew at a double-digit rate.

Net revenue grew 15%, driven by the broad-based volume gains and favorable pricing and mix. Foreign currency translation contributed 4 points of net revenue growth, reflecting the favorable euro, Brazilian real, Mexican peso and British pound.

 

Operating profit grew 23%, driven by volume growth, pricing, mix and 5 points of foreign currency translation benefit.

 

The combined effect of acquisition and divestiture activities in the quarter had no impact on the Division’s total reported volume growth, contributed one point to revenue growth and contributed two points to operating profit growth.

 

 

Quaker Foods North America (QFNA) had broad-based double-digit top line gains leading to 24% operating profit growth.

 

Double-digit volume growth of Quaker oatmeal, Rice-A-Roni and Pasta-Roni side dishes, and Aunt Jemima syrup and mix led to 12% volume growth and a 16% revenue gain in the quarter.

 

Operating profit increased 24% reflecting the revenue growth and favorable cost of sales performance, offset somewhat by increased advertising and marketing costs to support new products and core brands.

 

- 3 -


PBG share sales, share repurchases, and strong equity bottler results contributed to EPS growth.

 

Earnings per share growth for the quarter was bolstered by a $35 million pre-tax gain recognized on the sale of shares in The Pepsi Bottling Group, a 2% reduction in the number of weighted average shares outstanding, strong equity bottler results and a 25 basis-point reduction in the Company’s effective tax rate.

 

Management expresses confidence in full year 2005 earnings outlook.

 

The Company updated its full year earnings outlook, stating it now expects earnings per share for 2005 of $2.56 to $2.59, excluding the impact of the 53rd week (see note under “Miscellaneous Disclosures”, below). Including the impact of the 53rd week, the Company expects earnings per share of $2.60 to $2.63. The Company expects the impact of the 53rd week to increase earnings per share by $0.04 to $0.05.

 

The Company is evaluating whether to repatriate undistributed international earnings in 2005 under the provisions of the American Jobs Creation Act. The Company believes that the maximum amount that it can repatriate under the Act is $7.5 billion. The Company’s earnings guidance does not include the impact on earnings that would result in the event the Company repatriates cash during the year.
