NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


1 . General
ORGANIZATION
On January 29, 2018, Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc. (" DPS ") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the " Merger Agreement ") by and among DPS , Maple Parent Holdings Corp. (“ Maple ”) and Salt Merger Sub, Inc. (“ Merger Sub ”), whereby Merger Sub would be merged with and into Maple , with Maple surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of DPS (the “ DPS Merger ”). The DPS Merger was consummated on July 9, 2018 (the " Merger Date "), at which time DPS changed its name to " Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. ".
References in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to " KDP " or "the Company " refer to Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. and all entities included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refers to some of KDP 's owned or licensed trademarks, trade names and service marks, which are referred to as the Company's brands. All of the product names included herein are either KDP registered trademarks or those of the Company 's licensors.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
For financial reporting and accounting purposes, Maple was the acquirer of DPS upon completion of the DPS Merger . The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and for the first quarter of 2019 and 2018 reflect the results of operations and financial position of Maple for the periods presented. Amounts reported as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , and for the first quarter of 2019 , include the results of operations and financial position of DPS , as the DPS Merger was completed on July 9, 2018.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (" U.S. GAAP ") for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements . In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting principally of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with KDP 's consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 .
Except as otherwise specified, references to the " first quarter " indicate the Company 's quarterly periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 .
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
KDP consolidates all wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company uses the equity method to account for investments in companies if the investment provides the Company with the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the investee. Consolidated net income includes KDP 's proportionate share of the net income or loss of these companies. Judgment regarding the level of influence over each equity method investment includes considering key factors such as ownership interest, representation on the board of directors or similar governing body, participation in policy-making decisions and material intercompany transactions.
The Company is also required to consolidate entities that are variable interest entities (“ VIE s”) of which KDP is the primary beneficiary. Judgments are made in assessing whether KDP is the primary beneficiary, including determination of the activities that most significantly impact the VIE ’s economic performance.
KDP eliminates from its financial results all intercompany transactions between entities included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the intercompany transactions with its equity method investees.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The process of preparing KDP 's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. These estimates and judgments are based on historical experience, future expectations and other factors and assumptions the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and judgments are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are revised when necessary. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period of change. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Refer to Recently Adopted Provisions of U.S. GAAP below for further information about the adoption of ASC 842. Refer to Note 3 for information about the Company's leases and Note 12 for disclosure of the components of other current liabilities and other non-current liabilities.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13,  Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments  ("ASU 2016-13"). The standard provides for a new impairment model which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for most financial assets held. The ASU is effective for public companies for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13 on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements ("ASU 2018-13"). The objective of the ASU is to improve the disclosures related to fair value measurement by removing, modifying, or adding disclosure requirements related to recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for public companies for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the changes in disclosure requirements and does not believe there will be a material impact to KDP's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
RECENTLY ADOPTED PROVISIONS OF U.S. GAAP
Leases
As of January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842. ASC 842 replaced the prior lease accounting guidance in its entirety. The underlying principle of the new standard is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for substantially all leases, with an exception for leases with terms of less than twelve months. The standard also requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures.
The Company elected to apply the optional transition method provided by ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) - Targeted Improvements, which allows companies to adopt the standard on a modified retrospective basis and to apply the new leases standard as of the adoption date with a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Accordingly, amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods prior to January 1, 2019 have not been recast under ASC 842 and continue to be reported in accordance with ASC 840. The Company elected the package of practical expedients which allows the Company to carry forward its historical assessments of whether contracts contain leases, lease classification, and initial direct costs, for leases in existence prior to January 1, 2019.
The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in an increase to KDP's total assets of approximately $314 million , an increase to KDP's total liabilities of approximately $319 million , and an impact to KDP's retained earnings of approximately $5 million , as of January 1, 2019.
Refer to Note 3 for additional information .
Other Accounting Standards
As of January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2017-12, Derivativ es and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities ("ASU 2017-12") on a prospective basis. The objective of the ASU is to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships in order to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements and to make certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of hedge accounting guidance. The adoption of ASU 2017-12 did not have a material impact on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

(Unaudited, Continued)

As of January 1, 2019, the Company early adopted ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract ("ASU 2018-15"). The standard aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal use software. The ASU was adopted on a prospective basis and did not have a material impact on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

(1)
The Company preliminarily valued personal property using a combination of the market approach and the cost approach, which is based upon current replacement or reproduction cost of the asset as newly adjusted for any depreciation attributable to physical, functional and economic factors. The Company assigned personal property a useful life ranging from 1 year to 24 years . We preliminarily valued real property using the cost approach and land using the sales comparison approach. The Company assigned real property a useful life between 1 year and 41 years .
(2)
The Company used existing carrying values to value trade receivables and payables, as well as certain other current and non-current assets and liabilities, as the Company determined that they represented the fair value of those items as of the Merger Date . The Company preliminarily valued work-in-process ("WIP") and finished goods inventory using a net realizable value approach resulting in a step-up of $131 million which was recognized in the cost of goods sold for the third quarter of 2018 as the related inventory was sold during that period. Raw materials were carried at net book value.
(3)
Net deferred tax liabilities represented the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and their tax bases. The Company used a preliminary consolidated tax rate to determine the net deferred tax liabilities. The Company will record measurement period adjustments as the Company applies the appropriate tax rate for each legal entity within DPS.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited, Continued)

The DPS Merger preliminarily resulted in $10,020 million of goodwill as of March 31, 2019 . The preliminary goodwill to be recognized is attributable to operational and general and administrative cost synergies resulting from the warehouse and transportation integration, direct procurement savings on overlapping materials, purchasing scale on indirect spend categories and optimization of duplicate positions and processes. The Company may also recognize revenue synergies, driven by a strong portfolio of brands with exposure to higher growth segments and the ability to leverage our collective distribution strength. The goodwill created in the DPS Merger is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Allocation of Purchase Price
The Company 's preliminary allocation of purchase price to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Core Acquisition is based on estimated fair values as of the Core Acquisition Date . The allocation of purchase price, as set forth in the table below, reflects various preliminary fair value estimates and analyses, including preliminary work performed by third-party valuation specialists, which are subject to change within the measurement period as valuations are finalized. The primary areas of the preliminary allocation of purchase price that are not yet finalized relate to the fair values of certain tangible assets, the valuation of intangible assets acquired, assumed liabilities and residual goodwill.
The following is a summary of the preliminary allocation of purchase price to the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Core Acquisition as of March 31, 2019 :

Raw materials were carried at net book value.
The Core Acquisition preliminarily resulted in $246 million of goodwill. The preliminary goodwill to be recognized is attributable to operational and general and administrative cost synergies resulting from the warehouse and transportation integration, purchasing scale on various spend categories and optimization of duplicate positions and processes.

In 2018, BA announced that The Coca-Cola Company ("Coca-Cola") obtained a minority interest in BA and would obtain the Company's current distribution rights. As a result, KDP received a distribution from BA, which reduced the Company's investment. KDP continues to account for its interest in BA as an equity method investment at the ownership level held by the Company prior to the Coca-Cola announcement, as a revised ownership interest percentage has not been provided to the Company by BA.
3 . Leases
The Company leases certain facilities and machinery and equipment, including fleet. These leases expire at various dates through 2044. Some lease agreements contain standard renewal provisions that allow us to renew the lease at rates equivalent to fair market value at the end of the lease term. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.
Operating leases are included within other non-current assets, other current liabilities, and other non-current liabilities within our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to Note 12 for further information. Finance leases are included within property, plant and equipment, net, other current liabilities, and other non-current liabilities. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recognized on the balance sheet.
Right of use assets and lease liabilities are recognized in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term on the commencement date. As the rate implicit in the lease is generally not provided to the Company, KDP uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of future minimum lease payments. KDP's incremental borrowing rate is determined using a portfolio of secured borrowing rates commensurate with the term of the lease and is reassessed on a quarterly basis.
KDP has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for as a single lease component.

LEASES THAT HAVE NOT YET COMMENCED
In February 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to relocate KDP's Texas headquarters to a new leased facility. The lease is expected to commence in 2021, with an initial lease term of 16 years and includes the option for KDP to renew for up to an additional ten years at an agreed-upon rate. The future minimum lease payments related to this lease are not yet known, as the cost is dependent on a number of factors, including the ultimate cost of construction. As of March 31, 2019 , the potential obligation for this lease is estimated to be approximately $200 million .

IMPAIRMENT TESTING
KDP conducts impairment tests on goodwill and all indefinite lived intangible assets annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company did not identify any circumstances that indicated that the carrying amount of any goodwill or any indefinite lived intangible asset may not be recoverable as of March 31, 2019 .
5 . Restructuring and Integration Costs
The Company implements restructuring programs from time to time and incurs costs that are designed to improve operating effectiveness and lower costs. When the Company implements these programs, the Company incurs expenses, such as employee separations, lease terminations and other direct exit costs, that qualify as exit and disposal costs under U.S. GAAP.
The Company also incurs expenses that are an integral component of, and directly attributable to, its restructuring activities, which do not qualify as exit and disposal costs, such as accelerated depreciation, asset impairments, implementation costs and other incremental costs. These costs are recorded within SG&A expenses on the income statement and are held within unallocated corporate costs.
Restructuring and integration charges incurred during the first quarter of 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

RESTRUCTURING PROGRAMS
Integration Program
As part of the DPS Merger, the Company established a transformation management office to enable integration and maximize value capture. The Company developed a program to deliver $600 million in synergies over a three-year period through supply chain optimization, reduction of indirect spend through new economies of scale, elimination of duplicative support functions and advertising and promotion optimization. The Company expects to incur total cash expenditures of $750 million , comprised of both capital expenditures and expense, and expects to complete the program by 2021. The restructuring and integration program resulted in cumulative pre-tax charges of approximately $215 million , primarily consisting of professional fees related to the integration and transformation and costs associated with severance and employee terminations, through March 31, 2019 .

6 . Income Taxes
The effective tax rates for the first quarter of 2019 and 2018 were 27.0% and 36.4% , respectively. The decrease in our effective tax rate was primarily due to a reduction in the U.S. federal tax rate from 24.5% to 21% and exclusion of DPS Merger-related non-deductible transaction costs, partially offset by the elimination of the domestic manufacturing deduction.  The legislation commonly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted on December 22, 2017 (“TCJA”). The TCJA reduced the U.S. federal statutory tax rate from 35% to 21% and eliminated the domestic manufacturing deduction. Guidance under the TCJA for non-calendar year filers resulted in a 24.5% federal statutory rate for companies with a September year-end for the period ended March 31, 2018.

On January 15, 2019, the Company repaid the 2019 Notes at maturity, using Commercial Paper.
The fair value amounts of the Notes were based on current market rates available to the Company . The difference between the fair value and the carrying value represents the theoretical net premium or discount that would be paid or received to retire all the Notes and related unamortized costs to be incurred at such date. The carrying amount includes the unamortized discounts, debt issuance costs and the fair value adjustment for the DPS Merger .
BORROWING ARRANGEMENTS
On February 8, 2019 , the Company terminated its term loan executed in conjunction with the DPS Merger ("KDP Term Loan") and entered into a new term loan agreement among the Company ("New KDP Term Loan"), the lenders party thereto (the "New Term Lenders"), and JP Morgan , as administrative agent (the "2019 New Term Loan Agreement"), pursuant to which the New Term Lenders provided $2 billion of the New KDP Term Loan to refinance the KDP Term Loan in order to achieve a more favorable interest rate. As a result of the extinguishment of the KDP Term Loan, the Company recorded approximately $3 million of loss on early extinguishment during the first quarter of 2019.
The interest rate applicable to the 2019 Term Loan Agreement ranges from a rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin of 0.75% to 1.25% or a base rate plus a margin of 0.00% to 0.25% , depending on the rating of certain indexed debt of KDP . Under the 2019 New Term Loan Agreement, KDP must repay the unpaid principal amount quarterly commencing on March 29, 2019 in an amount equal to 1.25% of the aggregate principal amount made on the effective date of the New KDP Term Loan, resulting in annual mandatory repayments of $100 million . The 2019 Term Loan Agreement matures on February 8, 2023 .

Under this facility, $100 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit, $48 million of which was utilized as of March 31, 2019 and $52 million of which remains available for use.
8 . Derivatives
KDP is exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in interest rates, commodity prices, and foreign exchange (" FX ") rates.
KDP manages these risks through a variety of strategies, including the use of interest rate contracts, FX forward contracts, commodity forward and future contracts and supplier pricing agreements. KDP does not designate these contracts as hedges for accounting purposes, and KDP does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

INTEREST RATES 
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk related to its borrowing arrangements and obligations. The Company enters into interest rate swaps to provide predictability in the Company's overall cost structure, including both receive-fixed, pay-variable and receive-variable, pay-fixed swaps. A natural hedging relationship exists in which changes in the fair value of the instruments act as an economic offset to changes in the fair value of the underlying items. Changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded in earnings throughout the term of the derivative instrument and are reported in interest expense in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. These interest rate swap contracts have maturities between 10 months and 20 years as of March 31, 2019 .
FOREIGN EXCHANGE
The Company 's Canadian and Mexican businesses purchase certain inventory through transactions denominated and settled in U.S. dollars, a currency different from the functional currency of those businesses. The Company additionally has a subsidiary in Canada with intercompany notes denominated and settled in U.S. dollars, a currency different from the functional currency of the Canadian business. These inventory purchases and intercompany notes are subject to exposure from movements in exchange rates. During the first quarter of 2019 and 2018 , the Company held FX forward contracts to economically manage the exposures resulting from changes in these foreign currency exchange rates. The intent of these FX contracts is to provide predictability in the Company's overall cost structure. In these cases, a hedging relationship exists in which changes in the fair value of the instruments act as an economic offset to changes in the fair value of the underlying items. Changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded in earnings throughout the term of the derivative instrument and are reported in the same caption of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as the associated risk. These FX contracts have maturities between 1 month and 6 years  as of March 31, 2019 .
COMMODITIES
KDP centrally manages the exposure to volatility in the prices of certain commodities used in its production process and transportation through various derivative contracts. The intent of these contracts is to provide a certain level of predictability in the Company 's overall cost structure. During the first quarter of 2019 and 2018 , the Company held forward, future, swap and option contracts that economically hedged certain of its risks. In these cases, a hedging relationship exists in which changes in the fair value of the instruments act as an economic offset to changes in the fair value of the underlying items. Changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded in earnings throughout the term of the derivative instrument and are reported in the same line item of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as the hedged transaction. Unrealized gains and losses are recognized as a component of unallocated corporate costs until the Company 's operating segments are affected by the completion of the underlying transaction, at which time the gain or loss is reflected as a component of the respective segment's income from operations. These commodity contracts have maturities between 1 month and 6 years as of March 31, 2019 .

The fair values of commodity contracts, interest rate contracts and FX forward contracts are determined based on inputs that are readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets. The fair value of commodity contracts are valued using the market approach based on observable market transactions, primarily underlying commodities futures or physical index prices, at the reporting date. Interest rate contracts are valued using models based primarily on readily observable market parameters, such as LIBOR forward rates, for all substantial terms of the Company 's contracts and credit risk of the counterparties. The fair value of FX forward contracts are valued using quoted forward FX prices at the reporting date. Therefore, the Company has categorized these contracts as Level 2.

The Company has exposure to credit losses from derivative instruments in an asset position in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the agreements. Historically, the Company has not experienced credit losses as a result of counterparty nonperformance. The Company selects and periodically reviews counterparties based on credit ratings, limits its exposure to a single counterparty under defined guidelines and monitors the market position of the programs upon execution of a hedging transaction and at least on a quarterly basis.
9 . Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the assumed conversion of all dilutive securities.
As a result of the DPS Merger , all historical per share data and number of shares and numbers of equity awards were retroactively adjusted. The following table presents the Company 's basic and diluted EPS and shares outstanding:

14 . Commitments and Contingencies
LEGAL MATTERS
The Company is involved from time to time in various claims, proceedings, and litigation, including those described below. We establish reserves for specific legal proceedings when we determine that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management has also identified certain other legal matters where we believe an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and/or for which no estimate of possible losses can be made.
Proposition 65 Litigation
On May 9, 2011, an organization named Council for Education and Research on Toxics ("CERT") filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, against Keurig. The lawsuit is Council for Education and Research on Toxics v. Brad Barry LLC, et al., Case No. BC461182. CERT alleges that Keurig, in addition to nearly one hundred other defendants who manufacture, package, distribute, or sell coffee, failed to warn persons in California that Keurig's coffee products (the "Products") expose persons to the chemical acrylamide in violation of California's Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, Health and Safety Code section 25249.5, et seq. ("Proposition 65"). CERT seeks equitable relief, including providing warnings to consumers, as well as civil penalties in the amount of the statutory maximum of $2,500 per day per violation of Proposition 65. CERT asserts that every consumed cup of coffee, absent a compliant warning, is equivalent to a violation under Proposition 65.
Keurig, as part of a joint defense group organized to defend against the lawsuit, disputes the claims of the Plaintiff. Acrylamide is not added to coffee, but is present in all coffee in small amounts (parts per billion) as a byproduct of the coffee bean roasting process. Keurig has asserted multiple affirmative defenses. The case was scheduled to proceed to a third phase for trial on damages, remedies and attorneys' fees beginning on October 15, 2018, however on October 12, 2018, the California Court of Appeal granted the defendants' request for a stay of the third phase trial.

KEURIG DR PEPPER INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited, Continued)

Potentially relevant to the lawsuit, on June 15, 2018, California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (“OEHHA”) proposed a new regulation clarifying that cancer warnings are not required for coffee under Proposition 65. Defendants anticipate that the proposed regulation, if finalized, could be effective as early as June 2019.
At this stage of the proceedings, prior to a trial on remedies issues, Keurig is unable to reasonably estimate the potential loss or effect on Keurig or its operations that could be associated with the lawsuit. The trial court has discretion to impose zero penalties against Keurig or to impose significant statutory penalties. Significant labeling or warning requirements that could potentially be imposed by the trial court may increase Keurig's costs and adversely affect sales of coffee products. We can provide no assurances as to the outcome of any litigation.
15 . Related Parties
IDENTIFICATION OF RELATED PARTIES
The Company is indirectly controlled by a single stockholder, JAB Holding Company S.a.r.l ("JAB"), a privately held investor group. JAB has ownership control over certain investments that create the following related party transaction types:
•
Coffee Transactions include transactions with Peet's Coffee ("Peet's"), Caribou Coffee ("Caribou"), Panera Bread ("Panera"), Einstein Bros Bagels ("Einstein Bros") and Krispy Kreme Doughnuts ("Krispy Kreme"). The Company manufactures portion packs containing a selection of coffee and tea varieties under Peet’s brands for sale in the U.S. and Canada. As part of this agreement Peet’s issues purchase orders to the Company for portion packs to be supplied to Peet’s and sold in select channels. In turn, the Company places purchase orders for Peet’s raw materials to manufacture portion packs for sale by the Company in select channels. The Company licenses the Caribou and Krispy Kreme trademarks for use in the Keurig system in the Company owned channels.
•
Restaurant Transactions include transactions with Panera, Peets, Caribou, Einstein Bros and Krispy Kreme. The Company sells various beverage concentrates and packaged beverages to these companies.
The Company also has rights in certain territories to bottle and/or distribute various brands that the Company does not own. The Company holds investments in certain brand ownership companies. Refer to Note 2 for additional information about the Company 's investments in unconsolidated affiliates. The Company purchases inventory from these brand ownership companies and sells finished product to third-party customers primarily in the U.S. Additionally, any transactions with significant partners in these investments, such as Anheuser-Busch InBev ("ABI"), are also included in this line. ABI purchases Clamato from the Company and pays the Company a royalty for use of the brand name.
LINE OF CREDIT WITH BEDFORD
The Company and ABI executed a line of credit agreement with Bedford on March 3, 2017, in conjunction with the creation of the joint venture ("Bedford Credit Agreement"), which was amended on December 7, 2018 to increase the line of credit (the credit agreement, as amended, the "Bedford Credit Agreement"). Under the Bedford Credit Agreement, the Company has committed to provide up to $51 million capacity with a fixed interest rate of 8.1% per annum. The Bedford Credit Agreement matures on March 3, 2024. The Company has outstanding receivable balances on the Bedford Credit Agreement of $24 million and $17 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively.

16 . Segments
Following the DPS Merger as described in Note 2 , the Company revised its segment structure to consist of the following four reportable segments as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , and for the first quarter of 2019 , and recasted for the first quarter of 2018 :
•
The Coffee Systems segment reflects sales in the U.S. and Canada of the manufacture and distribution of finished goods relating to the Company 's coffee system, pods and brewers.
•
The Packaged Beverages segment reflects sales in the U.S. and Canada from the manufacture and distribution of finished beverages and other products, including sales of the Company 's own brands and third-party brands, through both the Direct Store Delivery system and the Warehouse Direct system.
•
The Beverage Concentrates segment reflects sales of the Company 's branded concentrates and syrup to third-party bottlers primarily in the U.S. and Canada. Most of the brands in this segment are carbonated soft drink brands.
•
The Latin America Beverages segment reflects sales in Mexico, the Caribbean, and other international markets from the manufacture and distribution of concentrates, syrup and finished beverages.
Segment results are based on management reports. Net sales and income from operations are the significant financial measures used to assess the operating performance of the Company's operating segments. Intersegment sales are recorded at cost and are eliminated in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. “ Unallocated corporate costs ” are excluded from the Company's measurement of segment performance and include unrealized commodity derivative gains and losses, and certain general corporate expenses.
Information about the Company 's operations by reportable segment is as follows:

17 . Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied. Branded product sales, which include CSDs , NCBs , pods and appliances, occur once control is transferred upon delivery to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods. The amount of consideration the Company receives and revenue the Company recognizes varies with changes in customer incentives the Company offers to its customers and their customers. Sales taxes and other similar taxes are excluded from revenue. Costs associated with shipping and handling activities, such as merchandising, are included in SG&A expenses as revenue is recognized.

18 . Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Financial Information
The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company (the "Guarantors"), as defined in the indentures governing the Notes. The Guarantors are 100% owned either directly or indirectly by the Company and jointly and severally guarantee, subject to the release provisions described below, the Company's obligations under the Notes. None of the Company's subsidiaries organized outside of the U.S., immaterial subsidiaries used for charitable purposes, any of the subsidiaries held by Maple prior to the DPS Merger or any of the subsidiaries acquired after the DPS Merger (collectively, the "Non-Guarantors") guarantee the Notes. The subsidiary guarantees with respect to the Notes are subject to release upon the occurrence of certain events, including the sale of all or substantially all of a subsidiary's assets, the release of the subsidiary's guarantee of other indebtedness of the Company, the Company's exercise of its legal defeasance option with respect to the Notes and the discharge of the Company's obligations under the applicable indenture. The DPS Merger was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, using pushdown accounting for the purposes of presenting the following guarantor and non-guarantor financial information.
The first quarter of 2018 is not presented herein, as amounts reported prior to the DPS Merger are that of Maple, and would therefore be entirely reported within the Non-Guarantors column. Refer to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, Statements of Comprehensive Income, and Statements of Cash Flows for the amounts which would be presented as Non-Guarantors for these historical periods.
The following schedules present the financial information for Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (the "Parent"), Guarantors and Non-Guarantors. The consolidating schedules are provided in accordance with the reporting requirements of Rule 3-10 under SEC Regulation S-X for guarantor subsidiaries.

DR PEPPER SNAPPLE GROUP, INC. MERGER
On January 29, 2018, Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc. ("DPS") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") by and among DPS, Maple Parent Holdings Corp. (“ Maple ”) and Salt Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), whereby Merger Sub would be merged with and into Maple , with Maple surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of DPS (the “DPS Merger”). The DPS Merger was consummated on July 9, 2018 (the "Merger Date"), at which time DPS changed its name to "Keurig Dr Pepper Inc.".
Maple owns Keurig, a leader in specialty coffee and innovative single serve brewing systems. The combined businesses created Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. ("KDP"), a new beverage company of scale with a portfolio of iconic consumer brands and expanded distribution capability to reach virtually every point-of-sale in North America.
See Note 2 of the Notes to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information related to the DPS Merger.
OVERVIEW
KDP is a leading beverage company in North America, with a diverse portfolio of flavored (non-cola) CSDs, NCBs, including ready-to-drink teas and coffee, juices, juice drinks, water and mixers, and specialty coffee, and is a leading producer of innovative single-serve brewing systems. With a wide range of hot and cold beverages that meet virtually any consumer need, KDP key brands include Keurig, Dr Pepper, Canada Dry, Snapple, Bai, Mott's, Core, Green Mountain and The Original Donut Shop. KDP has some of the most recognized beverage brands in North America, with significant consumer awareness levels and long histories that evoke strong emotional connections with consumers. KDP offers more than 125 owned, licensed and partner brands, including the top ten best-selling coffee brands and Dr Pepper as a leading flavored CSD in the U.S. according to IRi , available nearly everywhere people shop and consume beverages.
KDP operates as an integrated brand owner, manufacturer and distributor. We believe our integrated business model strengthens our route-to-market and provides opportunities for net sales and profit growth through the alignment of the economic interests of our brand ownership and our manufacturing and distribution businesses through both our DSD system and our WD delivery system. KDP markets and sells its products to retailers, including supermarkets, mass merchandisers, club stores, pure-play e-commerce retailers, and office superstores; to restaurants, hotel chains, office product and coffee distributors, and partner brand owners; and directly to consumers through its websites. Our integrated business model enables us to be more flexible and responsive to the changing needs of our large retail customers and allows us to more fully leverage our scale and reduce costs by creating greater geographic manufacturing and distribution coverage.
The beverage market is subject to some seasonal variations. Our cold beverage sales are generally higher during the warmer months, while hot beverage sales are generally higher during the cooler months. Overall beverage sales can be influenced by the timing of holidays and weather fluctuations.

COFFEE SYSTEMS
Our Coffee Systems segment is primarily a producer of innovative single-serve brewing systems and specialty coffee in the U.S. and Canada. The multi-brand brewing system is aimed at changing the way consumers prepare and enjoy coffee and other beverages both at home and away from home in places such as offices, restaurants, cafeterias, convenience stores and hotels. We develop and sell a variety of Keurig brewers and, in addition to coffee, produce and sell a variety of other specialty beverages in K-Cup pod s (including hot and iced teas, hot cocoa and other beverages) for use with Keurig brewing systems. We also develop and sell brewer accessories, including pod storage racks, baskets, brewer carrying cases and other coffee-related equipment and accessories. We also offer traditional whole bean and ground coffee in other package types, including bags, fractional packages and cans.
Our Coffee Systems segment offers pods primarily in the single-serve K-Cup pod format. We manufacture and sell 100% of the K-Cup pod s of our own brands, such as Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, The Original Donut Shop, Van Houtte, Laughing Man and REVV. We have licensing and manufacturing agreements with our partner brands to manufacture approximately 80% of the K-Cup pod s in the U.S. and Canada, including brands such as Starbucks, Peet's Coffee, Dunkin' Donuts, Caribou Coffee, Eight O’Clock, Folgers, Maxwell House, Newman’s Own Organics and Tim Hortons, and private label arrangements. Our Coffee Systems segment also has agreements for manufacturing, distributing, and selling K-Cup pod s for tea under brands such as Celestial Seasonings, Lipton and Tazo in addition to K-Cup pod s of our own brand, Snapple. We also produce and sell K-Cup pod s for cocoa, including through a licensing agreement for the Swiss Miss brand, and hot apple cider.
Our Coffee Systems segment manufactures its K-Cup pod s in facilities in North America that include specialty designed proprietary high-speed packaging lines using freshly roasted and ground coffee as well as tea, cocoa and other products. We offer high-quality coffee including single-origin, organic, flavored, limited edition and proprietary blends. We carefully select our coffee beans and appropriately roast the coffees to optimize their taste and flavor differences. We engineer and design all of our single-serve brewing systems, where we then utilize third-party contract manufacturers located in various countries in Asia for brewer appliance manufacturing. We distribute our Coffee Systems products using third-party distributors and retail partners.
PACKAGED BEVERAGES
Our Packaged Beverages segment is principally a brand ownership, manufacturing and distribution business. In this segment, we primarily manufacture and distribute packaged beverages of our brands. Additionally, in order to maximize the size and scale of our manufacturing and distribution operations, we also distribute packaged beverages for our Allied Brands and manufacture packaged beverages for certain private label beverages in the U.S. and Canada.
Our larger NCB brands in this segment include Snapple, Hawaiian Punch, Mott's, Clamato, Bai, Yoo-Hoo, Deja Blue, Core, ReaLemon, Mistic, Vita Coco coconut water, and Mr and Mrs T mixers. Our larger CSD brands in this segment include Dr Pepper, 7UP, Canada Dry, A&W, Sunkist soda, Squirt, RC Cola, Big Red, and Vernors. 
Approximately  90%  of our  2019  Packaged Beverages net sales come from the manufacturing and distribution of our own brands and the manufacturing of certain private label beverages. The remaining portion of our  2019 Packaged Beverages net sales came from the distribution of our partner brands such as Vita Coco coconut water, AriZona tea, Neuro drinks, High Brew, evian, Peet's Coffee and Forto Coffee shots. Although the majority of our Packaged Beverages net sales relate to our brands, we also provide a route-to-market for these third party brand owners seeking effective distribution for their new and emerging brands. These brands give us exposure in certain markets to fast growing segments of the beverage industry with minimal capital investment.
Our Packaged Beverages products are manufactured in multiple facilities across the U.S. and are sold or distributed to retailers and their warehouses by our own distribution network or by third party distributors.
BEVERAGE CONCENTRATES
Our Beverage Concentrates segment is principally a brand ownership business where we manufacture and sell beverage concentrates in the U.S. and Canada. Most of the brands in this segment are CSD brands. Key brands include Dr Pepper, Canada Dry, Crush, Schweppes, Sunkist soda, 7UP, A&W, Sun Drop, Squirt, RC Cola and the concentrate form of Hawaiian Punch. Almost all of our beverage concentrates are manufactured at our plant in St. Louis, Missouri.
Beverage concentrates are shipped to third party bottlers, as well as to our own manufacturing systems, who combine them with carbonation, water, sweeteners and other ingredients, package the combined product in PET containers, glass bottles and aluminum cans, and sell them as a finished beverage to retailers. Beverage concentrates are also manufactured into syrup, which is shipped to fountain customers, such as fast food restaurants, who mix the syrup with water and carbonation to create a finished beverage at the point of sale to consumers. Dr Pepper represents most of our fountain channel volume.
Our Beverage Concentrates brands are sold by our bottlers through all major retail channels including supermarkets, fountains, mass merchandisers, club stores, vending machines, convenience stores, gas stations, small groceries, drug chains and dollar stores.

LATIN AMERICA BEVERAGES
Our Latin America Beverages segment is a brand ownership, manufacturing and distribution business, with operations in Mexico representing approximately 90% of segment net sales. This segment participates mainly in the carbonated mineral water, flavored CSD, bottled water and vegetable juice categories, with particular strength in carbonated mineral water, vegetable juice categories and grapefruit flavored CSDs. The largest brands include Peñafiel, Squirt, Aguafiel, Clamato and Crush.
In Mexico, we manufacture and distribute our products through our bottling operations and third party bottlers and distributors. We sell our finished beverages through all major Mexican retail channels, including small outlets, supermarkets, hypermarkets, convenience stores and on-premise channels. In the Caribbean, we distribute our products through third party bottlers and distributors. We have also begun to distribute certain products in other international jurisdictions through various third party bottlers and distributors.
VOLUME
In evaluating our performance, we consider different volume measures depending on whether we sell beverage concentrates, finished beverages, pods or brewers.
Beverage Concentrates Sales Volume
In our Beverage Concentrates segment, we measure our sales volume as concentrate case sales. The unit of measurement for concentrate case sales equals 288 fluid ounces of finished beverage, the equivalent of 24 twelve ounce servings.
Concentrate case sales represent units of measurement for concentrates sold by us to our bottlers and distributors. A concentrate case is the amount of concentrate needed to make one case of 288 fluid ounces of finished beverage. It does not include any other component of the finished beverage other than concentrate. Our net sales in our concentrate businesses are based on our sales of concentrate cases.
Packaged Beverages and Latin America Beverages Sales Volume
In our Packaged Beverages and Latin America Beverages segments, we measure volume as case sales to customers. A case sale represents a unit of measurement equal to 288 fluid ounces of packaged beverage sold by us. Case sales include both our owned brands and certain brands licensed to and/or distributed by us.
Appliance and Pod Sales Volume
In our Coffee Systems segments, we measure our sales volume as the number of appliances and the number of individual pods sold to our customers.
COMPARABLE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
As a result of the DPS Merger , in order for management to discuss our results on a comparable basis, we prepared unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information for the first quarter of 2018 to illustrate the estimated effects of the DPS Merger , which was consummated on July 9, 2018, based on the historical results of operations of DPS and Maple. See Supplemental Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information section at the end of Management's Discussion and Analysis for further information on the assumptions used in the preparation of the financial information.
Furthermore, management believes that there are certain non-GAAP financial measures that allow management to evaluate our results, trends and ongoing performance on a comparable basis. In order to derive the adjusted financial information, we adjust certain financial statement captions and metrics prepared under U.S. GAAP for 2019 and on a pro forma basis for 2018 for certain items affecting comparability. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures for further information on the certain items affecting comparability used in the preparation of the financial information. These items are referred to within the Adjusted Results of Operations section, within Management's Discussion and Analysis discussion, as Adjusted net sales, Adjusted pro forma net sales, Adjusted income from operations, Adjusted pro forma income from operations, Adjusted interest expense, Adjusted pro forma interest expense, Adjusted provision for income taxes, Adjusted pro forma provision for income taxes, Adjusted net income, Adjusted pro forma net income, Adjusted diluted EPS and Adjusted pro forma diluted EPS.

Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures. For the first quarter of 2018, these financial measures were prepared on an adjusted pro forma basis. For a definition of these terms and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, please see Non-GAAP Financial Measures below.
Net income attributable to KDP increased $142 million to $230 million for the first quarter of 2019 compared to the prior year driven primarily by the impact of the DPS Merger. Diluted EPS increased 45.5% to $0.16 per diluted shares as compared to $0.11 in the prior year.
Adjusted net income advanced 35.4% to $356 million for the first quarter of 2019 as compared to Adjusted pro forma net income for the first quarter of 2018 driven by growth in Adjusted income from operations, primarily attributable to net productivity and merger synergies partially offset by inflation on input costs and logistics, lower interest expense primarily due to realized gains associated with the termination of certain interest rate swaps and a lower tax rate. Adjusted diluted EPS increased 31.6% to $0.25 per diluted share as compared to Adjusted pro forma diluted EPS of $0.19 per diluted share in the prior year.
•
On February 8, 2019 , the Company terminated its KDP Term Loan and entered into the New KDP Term Loan to provide $2 billion for the purposes of refinancing the KDP Term Loan in order to achieve a more favorable interest rate.
•
During the first quarter of 2019, we made net repayments of approximately $414 million related to our 2019 Notes, our term loans and Commercial Paper.
Recent Developments
•
We announced that our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share, which was paid on April 19, 2019 to shareholders of record on April 5, 2019. Additionally, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share on May 3, 2019, which will be paid on July 19, 2019 to shareholders of record on July 5, 2019.
•
During April, we entered into a distribution agreement with All Market Inc., the parent company of Vita Coco, to sell, distribute and merchandise RUNA Clean Energy drink in certain territories across the U.S.

Net Sales. Net sales increased $1,556 million , or approximately 164% , for the first quarter of 2019 compared with the first quarter of 2018 . The primary factor of the increase in net sales was the $1,536 million of sales acquired primarily since the DPS Merger.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $917 million for the first quarter of 2019 compared with the first quarter of 2018 . Gross margin of 55.8% for the first quarter of 2019 significantly improved from the 50.7% gross margin for the first quarter of 2018 . The primary driver of the change in gross profit for the first quarter of 2019 was the incremental gross profit we acquired as a result of the consummation of the DPS Merger.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased $611 million for the first quarter of 2019 compared with the first quarter of 2018 . The primary driver of the increase in SG&A expenses was the impact of the DPS Merger, which includes acquired operating costs and restructuring expenses associated with the integration of DPS and Keurig.
Other Operating (Income) Expense, Net. Other operating (income) expense, net for the first quarter of 2019 included a $10 million net benefit on the renegotiation of a manufacturing contract.
Income from Operations. Income from operations increased $320 million to $498 million for the first quarter of 2019 due to the increase in gross profit partially offset by an increase in SG&A expenses, driven by the DPS Merger.

36
Table of Contents


Interest Expense (Income). Interest expense increased $171 million for the first quarter of 2019 compared with the first quarter of 2018 due primarily to the increased borrowings and assumption of the existing senior unsecured notes as a result of the DPS Merger and the impact of our interest rate derivative instruments.
Interest Expense - Related Party. Interest expense - related party decreased $25 million for the first quarter of 2019 compared with the first quarter of 2018 as a result of the capitalization of the related party term loans into additional paid in capital during the DPS Merger.
Effective Tax Rate. The effective tax rates for the first quarter of 2019 and 2018 were 27.0% and 36.4% , respectively. The decrease in our effective tax rate was primarily due to a reduction in the U.S. federal tax rate from 24.5% to 21.0% and exclusion of DPS Merger related non-deductible transaction costs offset by the elimination of domestic manufacturing deduction. Refer to Note 6 of the Notes to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

These adjusted measures are non-GAAP financial measures. For the first quarter of 2018, these financial measures were prepared on an adjusted pro forma basis. For a definition of this term and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, please see Non-GAAP Financial Measures below.
Adjusted Net Sales. Adjusted net sales decreased $29 million , or 1.1% , to $2,504 million for the first quarter of 2019 as compared to Adjusted pro forma net sales of $2,533 million for the first quarter of 2018 . This performance reflected strong underlying net sales growth of 2.5% , driven by higher volume/mix of 1.4% and net price realization of 1.1% , more than offset by the expected unfavorable impacts related to changes in our Allied Brands portfolio of 2.5% and calendar timing of 0.6% that affected year-over-year comparisons - namely, the shift of Easter into the second quarter of 2019 and one less shipping day in the first quarter of 2019 within the Packaged Beverages segment. Unfavorable foreign currency translation also impacted the period by 0.5% .
Adjusted Income from Operations. Adjusted income from operations increased $59 million , or 10.5% , to $621 million compared to Adjusted pro forma income from operations of $562 million in the prior year. This performance primarily reflected strong productivity and merger synergies, both of which benefitted SG&A and cost of sales. Partially offsetting these growth drivers was inflation in input costs, led by packaging, and logistics. On a percentage of net sales basis, Adjusted operating income grew 260 bps to 24.8% in the first quarter.
Adjusted Interest Expense. Adjusted interest expense decreased $40 million , or 23.4% , to $131 million for the first quarter of 2019 compared to Adjusted pro forma interest expense of $171 million in the prior year. This change was primarily the result of realized gains associated with the termination of certain interest rate swaps, realized gains on existing interest rate swaps and the benefit of lower indebtedness due to continued deleveraging.
Adjusted Effective Tax Rate. The Adjusted effective tax rate decreased 2.3 points to 26.3% for the the first quarter of 2019 compared to Adjusted pro forma effective tax rate of 28.9% in the prior year. This improvement in our Adjusted effective tax rate was primarily due to a reduction in the U.S. federal tax rate from 24.5% to 21.0%, partially offset by the removal of domestic manufacturing deduction.

For a definition of these terms and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, please see Non-GAAP Financial Measures below.
Sales Volume. The volume/mix growth for the Coffee Systems segment reflected a 7.0% increase in K-Cup pod volume, primarily driven by ongoing growth of the single serve pod category and the launch of Tim Horton's in Canada, and a 12.4% increase in brewers compared to the prior year due to innovation and timing of brewer shipments.
Net Sales. Net sales increased 2.1% to $968 million for the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 due to volume/mix growth of 5.0% , partially offset by lower net price realization of 2.1% , reflecting the continued moderation in strategic pod pricing investments and unfavorable foreign currency translation of 0.8% .
Adjusted Net Sales. Adjusted net sales increased 1.7% to $968 million for the first quarter of 2019 compared to Adjusted pro forma net sales of $952 million for the first quarter of 2018 due to volume/mix growth of 5.0% , partially offset by lower net price realization of 2.5% , reflecting the continued moderation in strategic pod pricing investments, and unfavorable foreign currency translation of 0.8% .
Income from Operations. Income from operations increased $39 million for the first quarter of 2019 , compared with the first quarter of 2018 , primarily reflecting the benefits of productivity and net sales growth.

Adjusted net sales and Adjusted income from operations are non-GAAP financial measures. For the first quarter of 2018, these financial measures were prepared on an adjusted pro forma basis. For a definition of these terms and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, please see Non-GAAP Financial Measures below.
Sales Volume. Sales volume for the first quarter of 2019 were wholly incremental as a result of the DPS Merger.
Adjusted Sales Volume. Adjusted sales volume for the first quarter of 2019 declined 4.9% due to the net unfavorable impact of 3.1% related to changes in our Allied Brands portfolio and the impact of the calendar timing versus the prior year, partially offset by growth of Core Hydration and higher volume from contract manufacturing.
Net Sales. Net sales were $1,116 million for the first quarter of 2019 , which were wholly incremental as a result of the DPS Merger.
Adjusted Net Sales. Adjusted net sales decreased 5.3% to $1,116 million for the first quarter of 2019 compared with Adjusted pro forma net sales of $1,178 million for the first quarter of 2018 , reflecting underlying net sales growth of 1.4% , driven by higher net price realization of 2.3% from pricing actions taken late in 2018 partially offset by lower volume/mix of 0.9% . More than offsetting the underlying net sales growth were the expected unfavorable impacts of 5.4% from changes in the Allied Brands portfolio and 1.2% from calendar timing. Unfavorable foreign currency translation also impacted the comparison by 0.1% .
Income from Operations. Income from operations was $149 million for the first quarter of 2019 , which were wholly incremental as a result of the DPS Merger, as net sales were reduced by cost of sales and SG&A expenses. Cost of sales were primarily comprised of ingredients and packaging costs and other manufacturing costs. SG&A expenses were primarily comprised of employee salaries, marketing investments and logistics expense.
Adjusted Income from Operations. Adjusted income from operations of $160 million in the first quarter of 2019 was even with Adjusted pro forma income from operations in the first quarter of 2018 , largely reflecting the strong productivity, which includes a benefit from the renegotiation of a manufacturing contract, and merger synergies. These drivers were offset by inflation on input costs, led by packaging, and logistics. As a percentage of Adjusted net sales, Adjusted operating income grew 70 bps versus the year ago period to 14.3% .

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The process of preparing our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Critical accounting estimates are both fundamental to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results and require difficult, subjective or complex estimates and assessments. These estimates and judgments are based on historical experience, future expectations and other factors and assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The most significant estimates and judgments are reviewed on an ongoing basis and revised when necessary. These critical accounting estimates are discussed in greater detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Trends and Uncertainties Affecting Liquidity
Customer and consumer demand for our products may be impacted by all risk factors discussed under "Risk Factors" in Part 1, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, that could have a material effect on production, delivery and consumption of our products in the U.S., Mexico and the Caribbean or Canada, which could result in a reduction in our sales volume. Similarly, disruptions in financial and credit markets may impact our ability to manage normal commercial relationships with our customers, suppliers and creditors. These disruptions could have a negative impact on the ability of our customers to timely pay their obligations to us, thus reducing our cash flow, or the ability of our vendors to timely supply materials.
We believe that the following events, trends and uncertainties may also impact liquidity:
•
our intention to drive significant cash flow generation to enable rapid deleveraging within two to three years from the DPS Merger;
•
our ability to issue unsecured commercial paper notes ("Commercial Paper") on a private placement basis up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any time of $2,400 million;
•
our continued integration of DPS;
•
our continued payment of dividends;
•
our continued capital expenditures;
•
seasonality of our operating cash flows, which includes our payable extension program and structured payables, which could impact short-term liquidity;
•
fluctuations in our tax obligations;
•
future equity investments; and
•
future mergers or acquisitions of brand ownership companies, regional bottling companies, distributors and/or distribution rights to further extend our geographic coverage.
Financing Arrangements
Refer to Note 7 of the Notes to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for management's discussion of financing arrangements.
Liquidity
Based on our current and anticipated level of operations, we believe that our operating cash flows will be sufficient to meet our anticipated obligations for the next twelve months. To the extent that our operating cash flows are not sufficient to meet our liquidity needs, we may utilize cash on hand or amounts available under our financing arrangements, if necessary.

NET CASH PROVIDED BY OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $324 million for the first quarter of 2019 , as compared to the first quarter of 2018 , primarily due to additional cash flows from operations generated as a result of the DPS Merger.
Accounts payable program
The Company entered into agreements with third parties to allow participating suppliers to track payment obligations from the Company, and if elected, sell payment obligations from the Company to financial institutions.  Suppliers can sell one or more of the the Company's payment obligations at their sole discretion and the rights and obligations of the Company to its suppliers are not impacted. The Company has no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to enter into these agreements and no direct financial relationship with the financial institutions.  The Company’s obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment terms, are not impacted. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , $1,898 million and $1,676 million , respectively, of the Company's outstanding payment obligations are payable to suppliers who utilize these third party services.
NET CASH USED IN INVESTING ACTIVITIES
Cash used in investing activities for the first three months of 2019 consisted primarily of purchases of property, plant and equipment of $62 million .
Cash used in investing activities for the first three months of 2018 consisted primarily of purchases of property, plant and equipment of $20 million .
NET CASH USED IN FINANCING ACTIVITIES
Cash used in financing activities for the first quarter of 2019 consisted primarily of the voluntary and mandatory repayments on the term loan facility of $758 million , repayment of the 2019 Notes of $250 million , and dividend payments of $211 million . These cash outflows from financing activities were partially offset by net issuance of commercial paper of $594 million and net proceeds from structured payables of $69 million.
Net cash used in financing activities for the first quarter of 2018 consisted primarily of repayments on the term loan facility of $200 million and dividend payments of $11 million .
Debt Ratings
As of March 31, 2019 , our credit ratings were as follows:
Rating Agency
Long-Term Debt Rating
Commercial Paper Rating
Outlook
Date of Last Change
Moody's
Baa2
P-2
Negative
May 11, 2018
S&P
BBB
A-2
Stable
May 14, 2018
These debt and commercial paper ratings impact the interest we pay on our financing arrangements. A downgrade of one or both of our debt and commercial paper ratings could increase our interest expense and decrease the cash available to fund anticipated obligations.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures were $62 million and $20 million for the first quarter of 2019 and 2018 , respectively.
Capital expenditures for the first quarter of 2019 primarily related to machinery and equipment, portion pack manufacturing, logistics equipment, information technology infrastructure, and replacement of existing cold drink equipment.
Capital expenditures for the first quarter of 2018 primarily related to portion pack manufacturing and information technology infrastructure.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Restricted Cash Equivalents
Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents was unchanged from December 31, 2018 to March 31, 2019 due to the Company's focus on utilizing cash for debt repayment.
Our cash balances are used to fund working capital requirements, scheduled debt and interest payments, capital expenditures, income tax obligations, dividend payments and business combinations. Cash generated by our foreign operations is generally repatriated to the U.S. periodically as working capital funding requirements in those jurisdictions allow. Foreign cash balances were $58 million and $59 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. We accrue tax costs for repatriation, as applicable, as cash is generated in those foreign jurisdictions.

Contractual Commitments and Obligations
We enter into various contractual obligations that impact, or could impact, our liquidity. Based on our current and anticipated level of operations, we believe that our proceeds from operating cash flows combined with cash on hand and amounts available under our financing arrangements will be sufficient to meet our anticipated obligations.
The following table summarizes our contractual obligations and contingencies, as of March 31, 2019 , that have significantly changed from the amounts disclosed in our Annual Report:

SUPPLEMENTAL UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented to illustrate the estimated effects of the DPS Merger for the first quarter of 2018 , which was consummated on July 9, 2018, based on the historical results of operations of DPS and Maple. See Notes 1 and 2 of the Notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the DPS Merger.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income for the the first quarter of 2018 is based on the historical financial statements of Maple and DPS after giving effect to the DPS Merger, related equity investments, and the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to this unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income. The Maple statement of income information for the the first quarter of 2018 was derived from the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. The DPS statement of income information for the first quarter of 2018 was derived from its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-Q dated April 25, 2018. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income is presented as if the DPS Merger had been consummated on December 31, 2016, and combine the historical results of Maple and DPS.

Table of Contents


The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income set forth below primarily give effect to the following assumptions and adjustments:
• Application of the acquisition method of accounting;
• The issuance of Maple common stock to JAB in connection with the equity investments;
• The conversion of Maple Parent Corporation into KDP shares in accordance with the Merger Agreement;
• The pre-closing Maple share conversion;
• The exchange of one share of KDP common stock for each share of DPS common stock;
• The change in year-end for Maple; and
• The alignment of accounting policies.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the completion of the acquisition. We utilized estimated fair values at the Merger Date for the preliminary allocation of consideration to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. During the measurement period, we will continue to obtain information to assist in determining the fair value of net assets acquired, which may differ materially from these preliminary estimates.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with SEC Regulation S-X Article 11 and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been realized had the transactions been completed as of the dates indicated, nor are they meant to be indicative of our anticipated combined future results. In addition, the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income do not reflect any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, cost savings or any integration costs that may result from the DPS Merger.
The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income to give effect to unaudited pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the DPS Merger, (2) factually supportable and (3) are expected to have a continuing impact on the results of operations of KDP. As a result, under SEC Regulation S-X Article 11, certain expenses such as transaction costs and costs associated with the impact of the step-up of inventory are eliminated from pro forma results in all periods presented. In contrast, under the U.S. GAAP presentation in Note 2,  Acquisitions and Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates , these expenses are required to be included in the pro forma results for the year ended December 31, 2017. See Note 2 of the Notes to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, including the related notes, should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and related notes of DPS, and with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Summary of Pro Forma Adjustments
Pro forma adjustments included in the Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Income are as follows:
a.
A decrease in Net sales to remove the historical deferred revenue associated with DPS' arrangements with PepsiCo, Inc. and The Coca-Cola Company, which were eliminated in the fair value adjustments for DPS as part of purchase price accounting.
b.
An increase in Net sales to remove the historical amortization of certain capitalized upfront customer incentive program payments. These were eliminated in the fair value adjustments for DPS as these upfront payments were revalued within the customer relationship intangible assets recorded in purchase price accounting.
c.
Adjustment to remove the impact of the step-up of inventory recorded in purchase price accounting.
d.
Adjustments to SG&A expenses due to changes in amortization as a result of the fair value adjustments for DPS' intangible assets with definite lives as part of purchase price accounting.
e.
Adjustments to SG&A expenses due to changes in depreciation as a result of the fair value adjustments for DPS' property, plant and equipment as part of purchase price accounting.
f.
A decrease to SG&A expenses for both DPS and Maple to remove non-recurring transaction costs as a result of the DPS Merger.
g.
Removal of the Interest expense - related party caption for Maple, as the related party debt was capitalized into Additional paid-in capital immediately prior to the DPS Merger.
h.
Adjustments to Interest expense to remove the historical amortization of deferred debt issuance costs, discounts and premiums and to record incremental amortization as a result of the fair value adjustments for DPS' senior unsecured notes as part of purchase price accounting.
i.
Adjustments to Interest expense to record incremental interest expense and amortization of deferred debt issuance costs for borrowings related to the DPS Merger.
j.
Removal of the Net income attributable to employee redeemable non-controlling interest and mezzanine equity awards caption as the Maple non-controlling interest was eliminated to reflect the capital structure of KDP.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we have presented in this report selected unaudited pro forma combined financial information. We also present for the first quarter of 2019 (i) Adjusted net sales, (ii) Adjusted income from operations, (iii) Adjusted net income and (iv) Adjusted diluted EPS and for the first quarter of 2018 (i) Adjusted pro forma net sales, (ii) Adjusted pro forma income from operations, (iii) Adjusted pro forma net income and (iv) Adjusted pro forma diluted EPS, which are considered non-GAAP financial measures. This pro forma financial information and non-GAAP financial measures provided should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures presented may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies, and other companies may not define these non-GAAP financial measures in the same way. The adjusted measures are not substitutes for their comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, such as net sales, income from operations, net income, diluted EPS, or other measures prescribed by U.S. GAAP, and there are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures.
For the first quarter of 2019, we define our Adjusted non-GAAP financial measures as certain financial statement captions and metrics adjusted for certain items affecting comparability, while for the first quarter of 2018, we define our Adjusted non-GAAP financial measures as certain pro forma financial statement captions and metrics adjusted for certain items affecting comparability. The items affecting comparability are defined below.
Items affecting comparability : Defined as certain items that are excluded for comparison to prior year periods, adjusted for the tax impact as applicable. Tax impact is determined based upon an approximate rate for each item. For each period, management adjusts for (i) the unrealized mark-to-market impact of derivative instruments not designated as hedges in accordance with U.S. GAAP and do not have an offsetting risk reflected within the financial results; (ii) the amortization associated with definite-lived intangible assets; (iii) the amortization of the deferred financing costs associated with the DPS Merger and Maple's acquisition of Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. in 2016 (the "Keurig Acquisition"); (iv) stock compensation expense attributable to the matching awards made to employees who made an initial investment in the Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. Executive Ownership Plan or the Keurig Dr Pepper Omnibus Incentive Plan of 2009; and (v) other certain items that are excluded for comparison purposes to prior year periods.
For the first quarter of 2019 , the other certain items excluded for comparison purposes include (i) restructuring and integration expenses related to the DPS Merger and the Keurig Acquisition; (ii) productivity expenses; (iii) transaction costs not associated with the DPS Merger; (iv) provision for legal settlements; (v) the impact of the step-up of acquired inventory not associated with the DPS Merger (vi) the loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the redemption of debt and (vii) the loss related to the February 2019 organized malware attack on our business operation networks in the Coffee Systems segment, as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
For the first quarter of 2018 , the other certain items excluded for comparison purposes include (i) restructuring and integration expenses related to the DPS Merger and the Keurig Acquisition; (ii) productivity expenses; (iii) provisions for legal settlements; and (iv) the loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the redemption of debt; and (v) tax reform associated with the TCJA.
For the first quarter of 2019, the supplemental financial data set forth below includes reconciliations of Adjusted net sales, Adjusted income from operations, Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted EPS to the applicable financial measure presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement for the same period. For the first quarter of 2018, the supplemental financial data set forth below includes reconciliations of Adjusted pro forma net sales, Adjusted pro forma income from operations, Adjusted pro forma net income and Adjusted pro forma diluted EPS to the applicable financial measure presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements for the same period. For a reconciliation of the applicable financial measure presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statement for the first quarter of 2018 to the applicable historical financial measure presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, please see "Supplemental Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information" above.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks arising from changes in market rates and prices, including movements in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. From time to time, we may enter into derivatives or other financial instruments to hedge or mitigate commercial risks. We do not enter into derivative instruments for speculation, investing or trading.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK
The majority of our net sales, expenses and capital purchases are transacted in U.S. dollars. However, we have exposure with respect to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Our primary exposure to foreign exchange rates is the Canadian dollar and Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar. Exchange rate gains or losses related to foreign currency transactions are recognized as transaction gains or losses in our income statement as incurred. As of March 31, 2019 , the impact to our income from operations of a 10% change (up or down) in exchange rates is estimated to be an increase or decrease of approximately $40 million on an annual basis.
We use derivative instruments such as foreign exchange forward contracts to manage a portion of our exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates. As of March 31, 2019 , we had derivative contracts outstanding with a notional value of $386 million maturing at various dates through September 25, 2024.
INTEREST RATE RISK
We centrally manage our debt portfolio through the use of interest rate swaps and monitor our mix of fixed-rate and variable rate debt. As of March 31, 2019 , the carrying value of our fixed-rate debt, excluding lease obligations, was $11,778 million and our variable-rate debt was $3,486 million , inclusive of commercial paper.
Additionally, as of March 31, 2019 , the total notional value of receive-fixed, pay-variable interest rate swaps was $970 million and the total notional value of receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swaps was $1,075 million .
The following table is an estimate of the impact to our interest rate expense based upon our variable rate debt and derivative instruments and the fair value of the interest rate swaps that could result from hypothetical interest rate changes during the term of the financial instruments, based on debt levels as of March 31, 2019 :
 
 
 
Hypothetical Change in Interest Rates (1)
 
Annual Impact to Interest Expense
1-percent decrease
 
$34 million decrease
1-percent increase
 
$34 million increase
(1)
We pay an average floating rate, which fluctuates periodically, based on LIBOR and a credit spread, as a result of certain derivative instruments and variable rate debt instruments. See Notes 7 and 8 of the Notes to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
COMMODITY RISKS
We are subject to market risks with respect to commodities because our ability to recover increased costs through higher pricing may be limited by the competitive environment in which we operate. Our principal commodities risks relate to our purchases of coffee beans, PET, aluminum, diesel fuel, corn (for high fructose corn syrup), apple juice concentrate, apples, sucrose and natural gas (for use in processing and packaging).
We utilize commodities derivative instruments and supplier pricing agreements to hedge the risk of adverse movements in commodity prices for limited time periods for certain commodities. The fair market value of these contracts as of March 31, 2019 was a net liability of $27 million .
As of March 31, 2019 , the impact of a 10% change (up or down) in market prices for these commodities where the risk of adverse movements has not been hedged is estimated to have a $12 million impact to our income from operations for the year ending December 31, 2019 .

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that, as of March 31, 2019 , our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to (i) provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Exchange Act filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms, and (ii) ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act are accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
As described in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 , the DPS Merger was completed on July 9, 2018, and represented a change in internal control over financial reporting. Management continues to consolidate and integrate KDP’s system of controls. The processes and controls for significant areas including business combinations, intangibles and goodwill valuations, income taxes, treasury, consolidations and the preparation of financial statements and related disclosures, and entity level controls have been substantially impacted by the ongoing integration activities. The primary changes in these areas are related to the consolidation of process owner leadership and control owners, and where required, the modification of inputs, processes and associated systems. For all areas of change noted, management believes the control design and implementation thereof are being appropriately modified to address underlying risks. The above ongoing integration activities to KDP’s internal control over financial reporting are reasonably likely to materially affect KDP’s internal control over financial reporting in 2019.
In addition, the Company adopted ASC 842 as of January 1, 2019. The Company implemented a new IT system and internal controls related to the process of gathering, recording, accounting for and disclosing leases under the new standard.
There were no other changes during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
We are occasionally subject to litigation or other legal proceedings relating to our business.
See Note 14 of the Notes to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information related to commitments and contingencies, which is incorporated herein by reference.

BA Sports Nutrition Litigation
On March 6, 2019, The American Bottling Company ("ABC"), a subsidiary of KDP, filed suit against BA Sports Nutrition, LLC ("BA") and Mike Repole in the Superior Court for the State of Delaware. The complaint asserts claims for breach of contract and promissory estoppel against BA and asserts a claim for tortious interference against Mr. Repole, in each case in connection with BA's attempted early termination of the distribution contract between BA and ABC. The complaint seeks monetary damages, attorneys' fees and costs. ABC intends to vigorously prosecute the action. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of the lawsuit, the potential recovery, if any, associated with the resolution of the lawsuit or any potential effect it may have on the Company or its operations.
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes that we are aware of from the risk factors set forth in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 .
