Coca-Cola Reports Third Quarter 2026 Results and Raises Full Year Guidance
Global Unit Case Volume Grew 5%
Net Revenues Grew 7%;
Organic Revenues (Non-GAAP) Grew 7%
Operating Income Grew 12%;
Comparable Currency Neutral Operating Income (Non-GAAP) Grew 8%
Operating Margin was 33.4% versus 32.0% in the Prior Year;
Comparable Operating Margin (Non-GAAP) was 32.9% versus 31.9% in the Prior Year
EPS Grew 8% to $0.93; Comparable EPS (Non-GAAP) Grew 11% to $0.91
ATLANTA, Oct. 27, 2026 – The Coca-Cola Company today reported third quarter 2026 results. “Our results this quarter demonstrate our system’s sustained momentum, giving us confidence in our updated full year guidance,” said Henrique Braun, CEO of The Coca-Cola Company. “By staying close to consumers and executing with agility across our global system, we are delivering quality growth while continuing to invest in the capabilities, brands and people that will fuel our future.”
| Highlights | ||
| Quarterly Performance | ||
•Revenues: Net revenues grew 7% to $13.4 billion, and organic revenues (non-GAAP) grew 7%, driven by a 7% increase in concentrate sales and 1% growth in price/mix. Concentrate sales were 2 points ahead of unit case volume due to the timing of concentrate shipments.
•Operating margin: Operating margin was 33.4% versus 32.0% in the prior year, and comparable operating margin (non-GAAP) was 32.9% versus 31.9% in the prior year. Operating margin performance included items impacting comparability, as well as currency tailwinds. Comparable operating margin (non-GAAP) expansion was driven by organic revenue (non-GAAP) growth and currency tailwinds, partially offset by an increase in marketing investments and higher operating expenses.
•Earnings per share: EPS grew 8% to $0.93, and comparable EPS (non-GAAP) grew 11% to $0.91. Both EPS and comparable EPS (non-GAAP) performance included the impact of a 2-point currency tailwind.
•Market share: The company gained value share in total nonalcoholic ready-to-drink (“NARTD”) beverages.
•Cash flow: Year-to-date cash flow from operations and free cash flow (non-GAAP) were $12.5 billion and $11.4 billion, respectively.

| Company Updates | ||
•Celebrating local heritage and strengthening communities through its brands: Recently, the company reached milestone anniversaries in three important markets: the United States, Mexico and Nigeria. In the United States, the Coca-Cola system marked 140 years of serving consumers and strengthening communities. According to a recent study from Steward Redqueen, the system today supports nearly 1 million jobs throughout the value chain and contributes approximately $85 billion in annual economic activity in the United States. From Trademark Coca-Cola to fairlife, the company’s brands continue to provide consumers with beverages across many drinking occasions. The system celebrated 100 years of growing together with Mexico through a campaign rooted in consumers’ deep, multigenerational connections with Coca-Cola. The campaign came to life through limited-edition packaging, local cultural icons and integrated experiences, generating strong consumer engagement that contributed to volume growth during the quarter. In Nigeria, a 75-year anniversary celebration of Coca-Cola’s connection with generations of Nigerians brought together national pride, music, authentic connection and self-expression through distinctive packaging, creator content and experiential activations. The campaign reached more than 100 million consumers, contributing to volume growth and value and volume share gains for the quarter. Together, these milestones demonstrate how the company combines global scale with deep local roots to create meaningful consumer experiences and drive growth.
•Globally connecting brands to consumers through locally relevant music experiences: The company continues to connect its brands to passion points, with music serving as a powerful global platform to drive relevance and consumer engagement. As an example, across Europe, Coca-Cola and Sprite were highlighted at 60 festivals in more than 20 markets, reaching over 12 million attendees and over 500 million livestream viewers while building direct consumer connections through first-party data. Highlights include uplifting activations at Tomorrowland in Belgium, Rock in Rio Lisboa in Portugal and Coca-Cola Music Experience in Spain. The company drove strong local momentum in Greece by offering Trademark Coca-Cola products in the newly launched 500ml “Supercan” across nearly 20 live music events. In Great Britain, the company bridged music and soccer by partnering with British rapper Central Cee to create an original song for its English Premier League campaign. Together, these activations strengthened brand relevance and contributed to volume growth for the quarter in Europe.

| Outlook | ||
The 2026 and 2027 outlook information provided below includes forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, which management uses in measuring performance. The company is not able to reconcile full year 2026 projected organic revenues (non-GAAP) to full year 2026 projected reported net revenues, full year 2026 projected comparable net revenues (non-GAAP) to full year 2026 projected reported net revenues, full year 2026 projected underlying effective tax rate (non-GAAP) to full year 2026 projected reported effective tax rate, full year 2026 projected comparable currency neutral EPS excluding acquisitions and divestitures (non-GAAP) to full year 2026 projected reported EPS, full year 2026 projected comparable EPS (non-GAAP) to full year 2026 projected reported EPS, full year 2027 projected comparable net revenues (non-GAAP) to full year 2027 projected reported net revenues, or full year 2027 projected comparable EPS (non-GAAP) to full year 2027 projected reported EPS without unreasonable efforts because it is not possible to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the exact timing and exact impact of acquisitions and divestitures throughout 2026 and 2027; the exact timing and exact amount of items impacting comparability throughout 2026 and 2027; and the exact impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates throughout 2026 and 2027. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the company’s full year 2026 and full year 2027 reported financial results.

| Notes | ||
•All references to growth rate percentages and share compare the results of the period to those of the prior year comparable period, unless otherwise noted.
•All references to volume and volume percentage changes indicate unit case volume, unless otherwise noted. All volume percentage changes are computed based on average daily sales, unless otherwise noted. “Unit case” means a unit of measurement equal to 192 U.S. fluid ounces of finished beverage (24 eight-ounce servings), with the exception of unit case equivalents for Costa non-ready-to-drink beverage products, which are primarily measured in number of transactions. “Unit case volume” means the number of unit cases (or unit case
7
equivalents) of company beverages directly or indirectly sold by the company and its bottling partners to customers or consumers.
•“Concentrate sales” represents the amount of concentrates, syrups, beverage bases, source waters and powders/minerals (in all instances expressed in unit case equivalents) sold by, or used in finished beverages sold by, the company to its bottling partners or other customers. For Costa non-ready-to-drink beverage products, “concentrate sales” represents the amount of beverages, primarily measured in number of transactions (in all instances expressed in unit case equivalents), sold by the company to customers or consumers. In the reconciliation of reported net revenues, “concentrate sales” represents the percent change in net revenues attributable to the increase (decrease) in concentrate sales volume for the geographic operating segments after considering the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, if any. For the Bottling Investments operating segment, this represents the percent change in net revenues attributable to the increase (decrease) in unit case volume computed based on total sales (rather than average daily sales) in each of the corresponding periods after considering the impact of structural changes, if any. The Bottling Investments operating segment reflects unit case volume growth for consolidated bottlers only.
•“Price/mix” represents the change in net operating revenues caused by factors such as price changes, the mix of products and packages sold, and the mix of channels and geographic territories where the sales occurred.
•First quarter 2026 financial results were impacted by six additional days as compared to first quarter 2025, and fourth quarter 2026 financial results will be impacted by six fewer days as compared to fourth quarter 2025. Unit case volume results for the quarters are not impacted by the variances in days due to the average daily sales computation referenced above.

| THE COCA-COLA COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES | ||
| Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures | ||
The company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP” or referred to herein as “reported”). To supplement our consolidated financial statements reported on a GAAP basis, we provide the following non-GAAP financial measures: “comparable net revenues,” “comparable currency neutral net revenues,” “organic revenues,” “comparable operating margin,” “underlying operating margin,” “comparable operating income,” “comparable currency neutral operating income,” “comparable EPS,” “comparable currency neutral EPS,” “comparable currency neutral EPS excluding acquisitions and divestitures,” “underlying effective tax rate” and “free cash flow,” each of which is defined below. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with additional meaningful financial information that should be considered when assessing our underlying business performance and trends. Further, management believes these non-GAAP financial measures also enhance investors’ ability to compare period-to-period financial results. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures do not represent a comprehensive basis of accounting. Therefore, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP information are also included below. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating, compensation and planning decisions and in evaluating the company’s performance. Disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures allows investors and management to view our operating results excluding the impact of items that are not reflective of the underlying operating performance.
DEFINITIONS
•“Currency neutral operating results” are determined by dividing or multiplying, as appropriate, our current period actual U.S. dollar operating results by the current period actual exchange rates (that include the impact of current period currency hedging activities) to derive our current period local currency operating results. We then multiply or divide, as appropriate, the derived current period local currency operating results by the foreign currency exchange rates (that also include the impact of the comparable prior period currency hedging activities) used to translate the company’s financial statements in the comparable prior year period to determine what the current period U.S. dollar operating results would have been if the foreign currency exchange rates had not changed from the comparable prior year period.
•“Acquisitions and divestitures” generally refers to acquisitions and divestitures of brands or businesses, some of which the company considers to be structural changes. The impact of acquisitions and divestitures is the difference between the change in the relevant metric and the change in what that metric would have been if we removed the amount associated with an acquisition or a divestiture from either the current year or the prior year, as applicable. We generally refer to acquisitions and divestitures of bottling operations as “structural changes,” which are a component of acquisitions and divestitures and also include the impact of intercompany transactions between our operating segments, as applicable. Typically, structural changes do not impact the company’s unit case volume on a consolidated basis or at the geographic operating segment level. In May 2025, the company refranchised our bottling operations in certain territories in India. The impact of this refranchising has been included as a structural change in our analysis of net revenues on a consolidated basis as well as for the Bottling Investments and Asia Pacific operating segments for the nine months ended October 2, 2026. Additionally, in October 2025, the company sold our finished product operations in Nigeria. The impact of this sale has been included as a divestiture in our analysis of net revenues on a consolidated basis as well as for the EMEA operating segment for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2026.
•“Comparable net revenues” is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability (discussed further below). “Comparable currency neutral net revenues” is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability (discussed further below) as well as the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Management believes the comparable net revenues (non-GAAP) growth measure and the comparable currency neutral net revenues (non-GAAP) growth measure provide investors with useful supplemental information to enhance their understanding of the company’s revenue performance and trends by improving their ability to compare our period-to-period results. “Organic revenues” is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, as applicable, and the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Management believes the organic revenue (non-GAAP) growth measure provides users with useful supplemental information regarding the company’s
14
| THE COCA-COLA COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES | ||
| Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures | ||
ongoing revenue performance and trends by presenting revenue growth excluding the impact of foreign exchange as well as the impact of acquisitions and divestitures.
•“Comparable operating income” is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability (discussed further below). “Comparable currency neutral operating income” is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability (discussed further below) and the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. “Comparable operating margin” is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability (discussed further below). “Underlying operating margin” is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability (discussed further below), the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, and the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, as applicable. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the company’s performance and make resource allocation decisions. Further, management believes the comparable operating income (non-GAAP) growth measure, comparable currency neutral operating income (non-GAAP) growth measure, comparable operating margin (non-GAAP) measure and underlying operating margin (non-GAAP) measure enhance its ability to communicate the underlying operating results and provide investors with useful supplemental information to enhance their understanding of the company’s underlying business performance and trends by improving their ability to compare our period-to-period financial results.
•“Comparable EPS,” “comparable currency neutral EPS” and “comparable currency neutral EPS excluding acquisitions and divestitures” are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude or have otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability (discussed further below). Comparable currency neutral EPS (non-GAAP) has been adjusted for the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, and comparable currency neutral EPS excluding acquisitions and divestitures (non-GAAP) has been adjusted for the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, as applicable. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the company’s performance and make resource allocation decisions. Further, management believes the comparable EPS (non-GAAP), comparable currency neutral EPS (non-GAAP) and comparable currency neutral EPS excluding acquisitions and divestitures (non-GAAP) growth measures enhance its ability to communicate the underlying operating results and provide investors with useful supplemental information to enhance their understanding of the company’s underlying business performance and trends by improving their ability to compare our period-to-period financial results.
•“Underlying effective tax rate” is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents the estimated annual effective income tax rate on income before income taxes, which excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability (discussed further below).
•“Free cash flow” is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment. Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate the company’s performance and make resource allocation decisions.
ITEMS IMPACTING COMPARABILITY
The following information is provided to give qualitative and quantitative information related to items impacting comparability. Items impacting comparability are not defined terms within GAAP. Therefore, our non-GAAP financial information may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We determine which items to consider as “items impacting comparability” based on how management views our business; makes financial, operating, compensation and planning decisions; and evaluates the company’s ongoing performance. Items such as charges, gains and accounting changes which are viewed by management as impacting only the current period or the comparable period, but not both, or as pertaining to different and unrelated underlying activities or events across comparable periods, are generally considered “items impacting comparability.” Items impacting comparability include, but are not limited to, asset impairments, transaction gains/losses including associated costs, and charges related to restructuring initiatives, in each case when exceeding a U.S. dollar threshold. Also included are our proportionate share of similar items incurred by our equity method investees, timing differences related to our economic (non-designated) hedging activities, and timing differences related to unrealized mark-to-market adjustments of equity securities and trading debt securities, regardless of size. In addition, we provide the impact that fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates had on our financial results (“currency neutral operating results” defined above).

| THE COCA-COLA COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES | ||
| Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures | ||
Asset Impairments
During the nine months ended September 26, 2025, the company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $40 million related to an equity method investee in Latin America, which was primarily driven by revised projections of future operating results. The company also recorded a charge of $31 million related to the impairment of a trademark in Latin America, which was primarily driven by revised projections of future operating results and changes in macroeconomic conditions. Additionally, the company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $25 million in Latin America, primarily driven by the restructuring of a joint venture.
Equity Investees
During the three and nine months ended October 2, 2026, the company recorded net charges of $8 million and $30 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 26, 2025, the company recorded a net gain of $7 million and a net charge of $21 million, respectively. These amounts represent the company’s proportionate share of significant operating and nonoperating items recorded by certain of our equity method investees.
Transaction Gains/Losses
During the three and nine months ended October 2, 2026, the company recorded reductions in the previously recorded impairment charge of $5 million and $61 million, respectively, related to our bottling operations in Africa, which are held for sale. These reductions are based on management's revised estimates.
During the three and nine months ended September 26, 2025, the company recorded a charge of $393 million related to certain operations held for sale in Nigeria and charges of $8 million and $36 million, respectively, related to the refranchising of certain bottling operations in Ghana.
During the nine months ended September 26, 2025, the company recorded a gain of $331 million related to the sale of a portion of our ownership interest in Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc, an equity method investee. The company also recognized a gain of $102 million and incurred $7 million of transaction costs related to the refranchising of our bottling operations in certain territories in India. Additionally, the company recorded a charge of $47 million related to the remeasurement of our contingent consideration liability to fair value in conjunction with our acquisition of fairlife. In March 2025, the company made the remaining milestone payment for fairlife.
Restructuring
During the three and nine months ended September 26, 2025, the company recorded charges of $24 million and $63 million, respectively. The costs incurred were primarily related to certain initiatives designed to further simplify and standardize our organization as part of our productivity and reinvestment program.
Other Items
Economic (Non-Designated) Hedges
The company uses derivatives as economic hedges primarily to mitigate the foreign exchange risk for certain currencies, certain interest rate risk, and the price risk associated with the purchase of materials used in our manufacturing processes as well as the purchase of vehicle fuel. Although these derivatives were not designated and/or did not qualify for hedge accounting, they are effective economic hedges. The changes in fair values of these economic hedges are immediately recognized in earnings.
The company excludes the net impact of mark-to-market adjustments for outstanding hedges and realized gains/losses for settled hedges from our non-GAAP financial information until the period in which the underlying exposure being hedged impacts our consolidated statement of income. Management believes this adjustment provides meaningful information related to the impact of our economic hedging activities. During the three and nine months ended October 2, 2026, the net impact of the company’s adjustment related to our economic hedging activities resulted in decreases of $83 million and $113 million, respectively, to our non-GAAP income before income taxes.
During the three and nine months ended September 26, 2025, the net impact of the company’s adjustment related to our economic hedging activities resulted in decreases of $88 million and $17 million, respectively, to our non-GAAP income before income taxes.

Unrealized Gains and Losses on Equity and Trading Debt Securities
The company excludes the net impact of unrealized gains and losses resulting from mark-to-market adjustments on our equity and trading debt securities from our non-GAAP financial information until the period in which the underlying securities are sold and the associated gains or losses are realized, unless individually significant. Management believes this adjustment provides meaningful information related to the impact of our investments in equity and trading debt securities. During the three and nine months ended October 2, 2026, the net impact of the company’s adjustment related to unrealized gains and losses on our equity and trading debt securities resulted in decreases of $10 million and $171 million, respectively, to our non-GAAP income before income taxes.
During the three and nine months ended September 26, 2025, the net impact of the company’s adjustment related to unrealized gains and losses on our equity and trading debt securities resulted in decreases of $96 million and $183 million, respectively, to our non-GAAP income before income taxes.
Other
