ATLANTA, Oct. 21, 2025 - The Coca-Cola Company today reported third quarter 2025 results. “While the overall environment has continued to be challenging, we’ve stayed flexible - adapting plans where needed and investing for growth,” said James Quincey, Chairman and CEO of The Coca-Cola Company. “By offering choice across our total beverage portfolio and leveraging our franchise model’s unique strengths, we’re gaining ground and strengthening our leadership position. We’re confident we can deliver on our 2025 guidance while also working to achieve our longer-term objectives.”
Highlights
Quarterly Performance
- Revenues: Net revenues grew 5% to $12.5 billion, and organic revenues (non-GAAP) grew 6%. Revenue performance included 6% growth in price/mix, while concentrate sales were even. Concentrate sales were 1 point behind unit case volume due to the timing of concentrate shipments.
- Operating margin: Operating margin was 32.0%, and comparable operating margin (non-GAAP) was 31.9%. Operating margin performance included items impacting comparability and currency headwinds. Comparable operating margin (non-GAAP) expansion was driven by organic revenue (non-GAAP) growth and effective cost management, partially offset by an increase in marketing investments and currency headwinds.
- Earnings per share: EPS grew 30% to $0.86 and included the impact of a 4-point currency headwind. Comparable EPS (non-GAAP) grew 6% to $0.82 and included the impact of a 6-point currency headwind.
- 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 $3.7 billion and $2.4 billion, respectively, which reflects $6.1 billion of the contingent consideration payment made during the first quarter in conjunction with the acquisition of fairlife, LLC (“fairlife”) in 2020 (“fairlife contingent consideration payment”). Year-to-date free cash flow excluding the fairlife contingent consideration payment (non-GAAP) was $8.5 billion.
Company Updates
- Continuing to build the world’s strongest consumer franchise system: The company’s franchise business model has enabled it to develop a strong global footprint with strong local expertise in markets around the world. Today, Coca-Cola HBC AG (“CCHBC”) entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a controlling interest in Coca-Cola Beverages Africa Pty Ltd (“CCBA”) from the company and Gutsche Family Investments. CCHBC is a leading Coca-Cola bottler with a strong track record in Africa and the company is confident that this refranchising step will drive CCBA’s next chapter of growth. Additionally, in July, the company reached another milestone in the refranchising process in India with the sale of a 40% ownership stake in Hindustan Coca-Cola Holdings Pvt. Ltd. to Jubilant Bhartia Group. The company will continue to focus on building a portfolio of consumer-loved brands and pursue enduring long-term growth for the Coca-Cola system with trusted, capable and motivated bottling partners.
- Unlocking growth through a broad and consumer-centric beverage portfolio: Complementing its reinvigorated sparkling portfolio, the company is delivering consumer-centric solutions across key need states, including functionality, with its total beverage approach. The company’s ready-to-drink tea portfolio maintained its global leadership position in the category, with Fuze Tea growing retail value five times the industry average year-to-date. The company’s dual-brand sports strategy with Powerade and BODYARMOR is delivering positive results, as the company gained value share and grew volume during the quarter. In addition to the success of the fairlife portfolio in the United States, within the value-added dairy category in Mexico, Santa Clara became the value share leader and grew volume 13% during the quarter, supported by stepped-up communication on lactose-free and flavored milk and impactful in-store displays. Expanding on the success of Minute Maid Zero Sugar in North America, the company has taken the brand to certain markets in Asia Pacific that are seeing strong consumer interest and solid volume performance. This momentum underscores the company’s continued focus on meeting evolving consumer preferences and driving growth across its beverage portfolio.

Outlook
The 2025 and 2026 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 2025 projected organic revenues (non-GAAP) to full year 2025 projected reported net revenues, full year 2025 projected comparable net revenues (non-GAAP) to full year 2025 projected reported net revenues, full year 2025 projected underlying effective tax rate (non-GAAP) to full year 2025 projected reported effective tax rate, full year 2025 projected comparable currency neutral EPS (non-GAAP) to full year 2025 projected reported EPS, full year 2025 projected comparable EPS (non-GAAP) to full year 2025 projected reported EPS, full year 2026 projected comparable net revenues (non-GAAP) to full year 2026 projected reported net revenues, or full year 2026 projected comparable EPS (non-GAAP) to full year 2026 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, divestitures and structural changes throughout 2025; the exact timing and exact amount of items impacting comparability throughout 2025 and 2026; and the exact impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates throughout 2025 and 2026. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the company’s full year 2025 and full year 2026 reported financial results.
Full Year 2025
Based on the current macroenvironment, the company is providing the following full year guidance.

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 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 structural changes, 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 2025 financial results were impacted by two fewer days as compared to first quarter 2024, and fourth quarter 2025 financial results will be impacted by one additional day as compared to fourth quarter 2024. 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 company is hosting a conference call with investors and analysts to discuss third quarter 2025 operating results today, Oct. 21, 2025, at 8:30 a.m. ET. The company invites participants to listen to a live webcast of the conference call on the company’s website, http://www.coca-colacompany.com, in the “Investors” section.

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,” “underlying effective tax rate,” “projected cash flow from operations excluding the fairlife contingent consideration payment,” “free cash flow,” “free cash flow excluding the fairlife contingent consideration payment” and “projected free cash flow excluding the fairlife contingent consideration payment” 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.
- “Structural changes” generally refer to acquisitions and divestitures of bottling operations, including the impact of intercompany transactions between our operating segments. In January, February and December 2024 as well as May 2025, the company refranchised our bottling operations in certain territories in India, and in February 2024, the company refranchised our bottling operations in Bangladesh and the Philippines. The impact of each of these refranchisings has been included in acquisitions, divestitures and structural changes in our analysis of net revenues on a consolidated basis as well as for the Bottling Investments and Asia Pacific operating segments for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2025, as applicable.
- “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, divestitures and structural changes, 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 ongoing revenue performance and trends by presenting revenue growth excluding the impact of foreign exchange as well as the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and structural changes. The adjustments related to acquisitions, divestitures and structural changes for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2025 included the structural changes discussed above.
THE COCA-COLA COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
- “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, divestitures and structural changes, 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” and “comparable currency neutral EPS” 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 also been adjusted for the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. 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) and comparable currency neutral EPS (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. “Free cash flow excluding the fairlife contingent consideration payment” is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment and excludes the fairlife contingent consideration payment that was made in March 2025. “Projected cash flow from operations excluding the fairlife contingent consideration payment” is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net cash provided by operating activities excluding the fairlife contingent consideration payment that was made in March 2025. “Projected free cash flow excluding the fairlife contingent consideration payment” is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment and excludes the fairlife contingent consideration payment that was made in March 2025. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures 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

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.
