PLANO, Texas, Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc. (NYSE: DPS) reported third quarter 2015 EPS of $1.05 compared to $0.96 in the prior year period. Core EPS were $1.08, up 10%, compared to $0.98 in the prior year period. Year-to-date, the company reported earnings of $3.00 per diluted share compared to $2.79 per share in the prior year period.  Core EPS were $3.02, up 9%, compared to $2.77 in the prior year period.

For the quarter, reported net sales increased 3% on a 3% increase in sales volumes, favorable product and package mix and price increases. This was partially offset by 2 percentage points of unfavorable foreign currency translation and higher discounts primarily related to our fountain foodservice business. Reported segment operating profit (SOP) increased 8%, or $30 million, on net sales growth, lower commodity costs and ongoing productivity improvements, partially offset by increases in certain operating costs and 2 percentage points of unfavorable foreign currency translation.

Reported income from operations for the quarter was $337 million, including $9 million in unrealized commodity mark-to-market losses. Reported income from operations was $316 million in the prior year period, including $2 million in unrealized commodity mark-to-market losses. Core income from operations for the quarter was $347 million, up 9%, or 21.3% of net sales compared to 20.1% in the prior year period.

Year-to-date, reported net sales increased 3%, and reported income from operations was $976 million, including $5 million of unrealized commodity mark-to-market losses. Foreign currency translation negatively impacted reported net sales and reported income from operations by 2%. Reported income from operations was $924 million in the prior year period, including $10 million of unrealized commodity mark-to-market gains. Core income from operations year-to-date was $983 million, up 8%, or 20.8% of net sales compared to 19.8% in the prior year period.

DPS President and CEO Larry Young said, "We posted yet another quarter of solid top-line and bottom-line results, with both our CSD and non-carbonated beverage portfolios performing well."

Young continued, "We gained both dollar and volume share in the CSD and shelf-stable juice categories in Nielsen measured markets, and we're seeing financial benefits from our marketing investments and innovation. Rapid Continuous Improvement (RCI) continues to underpin how we operate on a daily basis, and we have a long runway of further improvement opportunities."

Beverage Concentrates
Net sales increased 2% in the quarter driven by a 3% increase in concentrate shipments, concentrate prices taken earlier in the year and favorable product mix, which were partially offset by higher discounts primarily related to our fountain foodservice business. SOP increased 4% on net sales growth and lower marketing costs, which were partially offset by increases in certain operating expenses.

Packaged Beverages
Net sales increased 6% for the quarter on favorable product mix, price increases and a 2% increase in sales volumes. SOP increased 15% on net sales growth, lower commodity costs and ongoing productivity improvements, which were partially offset by increases in certain operating expenses.

Latin America Beverages
Net sales increased 10% in the quarter driven by an 8% increase in sales volumes and favorable mix. SOP increased 32% on net sales growth, ongoing productivity improvements and lower commodity costs, which were partially offset by the higher cost of certain U.S. dollar denominated input costs as a result of the strengthening U.S. dollar.

For the quarter, corporate costs totaled $83 million, which included $9 million of unrealized commodity mark-to-market losses. Corporate costs in the prior year period were $76 million, which included $2 million of unrealized commodity mark-to-market losses.

Definitions
Bottler case sales (BCS) volume: Sales of finished beverages, in equivalent 288 fluid ounce cases, sold by the company and its bottling partners to retailers and independent distributors and excludes contract manufacturing volume. Volume for products sold by the company and its bottling partners is reported on a monthly basis, with the third quarter comprising July, August and September.

Sales volume: Sales of concentrates and finished beverages, in equivalent 288 fluid ounce cases, shipped by the company to its bottlers, retailers and independent distributors and includes contract manufacturing volume.

Pricing refers to the impact of list price changes.

Unrealized mark-to-market: We recognize the change in the fair value of open commodity derivative positions between periods in corporate unallocated expenses, as these instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. As the underlying commodity is delivered, the realized gains and losses are subsequently reflected in the segment results.

EPS represents diluted earnings per share.

Core financial measures are determined utilizing reported financial numbers adjusted for the unrealized mark-to-market impact of commodity derivatives and certain items that are excluded for comparison to prior year periods.

Core metrics are determined based on the core financial measures.

Net sales and Segment Operating Profit, as adjusted to currency neutral: Net sales and Segment Operating Profit are calculated on a currency neutral basis by converting our current-period local currency financial results using the prior-period foreign currency exchange rates. Beginning in the second quarter of 2015, we excluded the impact of realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions from our currency neutral calculation.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP AND NON-GAAP INFORMATION

(Unaudited)


The company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, management believes that certain non-GAAP measures that reflect the way management evaluates the business may provide investors with additional information regarding the company's results, trends and ongoing performance on a comparable basis. Specifically, investors should consider the following with respect to our quarterly results:


Net sales and Segment Operating Profit, as adjusted to currency neutral: Net sales and Segment Operating Profit are calculated on a currency neutral basis by converting our current-period local currency financial results using the prior-period foreign currency exchange rates. Beginning in the second quarter of 2015, we excluded the impact of realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions from our currency neutral calculation.


Free Cash Flow: Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for capital spending and certain items excluded for comparison to prior year periods. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, there were no certain items excluded for comparison to prior year periods.


Core earnings: Core earnings is defined as net income adjusted for the unrealized mark-to-market impact of commodity derivatives and certain items that are excluded for comparison to prior year periods. The certain item excluded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, is an adjustment to a previously disclosed litigation provision. The certain items excluded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, are separation-related charges.


The tables on the following pages provide these reconciliations.
