Second Quarter and First Half 2020 Review
CHARLOTTE, August 4, 2020 – Coca-Cola Consolidated, Inc. (NASDAQ:COKE) today reported operating results for the second quarter and first half ended June 28, 2020.
“I am extremely pleased with our strong second quarter operating results in light of the significant COVID-19-related operating challenges we faced during the quarter,” said J. Frank Harrison, III, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Consumer buying patterns and overall demand for our products have shifted rapidly over the past four months as consumers adapted to the closings and staged re-openings of our local economies. I am proud of all of our teammates and how they have worked tirelessly to keep our products available and serve our communities, customers and consumers with excellence.”
Physical case volume increased 0.6% in the second quarter of 2020. COVID-19-related stay-at-home orders resulted in extreme volatility in our revenue and physical case sales during the quarter as the shift towards multi-serve packages sold in larger retail stores caused by the closure of on-premise outlets that started during March continued during the second quarter of 2020. Volume was strong in our Sparkling category, increasing 3.7% in the second quarter of 2020. Still beverage volume declined 6.6%, as convenience retail and on-premise outlets were negatively impacted by less consumer traffic. Our Still beverage portfolio relies more heavily on single-serve sales in our small stores and accounts where our products are consumed on-premise. Consumer demand was highly volatile during the quarter but improved sequentially as stay-at-home orders were lifted and local economies re-opened. The chart shown below details our bottle/can physical case sales volume performance by month and illustrates the improvement we saw during the quarter. We don't expect the demand experienced in June to sustain itself in future months, but we are encouraged by the volume growth generated in the second quarter of 2020.

| % Change | (6.1)% | 1.9% | 4.7% | 0.6% | |||||||||||||
Revenue decreased 3.6% in the second quarter of 2020. Revenue from our bottle/can Sparkling beverages increased 4.4% in the second quarter of 2020, driven primarily by volume growth and price realization within this category. Revenue from our Still beverages declined 4.7% in the second quarter of 2020 as a result of lower sales volume in small store and on-premise outlets. Revenue from fountain syrup, which is primarily sold through restaurants, convenience stores, amusement parks, and other on-premise outlets, declined $29.3 million, or 56.6%, during the second quarter of 2020. The significant decline in fountain syrup revenue is a
direct result of the previously mentioned stay-at-home orders. For the first half of 2020, revenue increased $23.7 million, or 1.0%. While sales within our Sparkling and Still categories grew 5.1% and 2.2% for the first half of 2020, respectively, fountain syrup sales decreased 32.8%.
Gross profit decreased $6.5 million, or 1.5%, in the second quarter of 2020, while gross margin increased 80 basis points to 35.0%, primarily driven by a shift in our product mix to Sparkling take home packages which generally carry a lower per case gross profit than immediate consumption packages. The negative mix impact was partially offset by commodity price favorability and favorable manufacturing costs. On an adjusted(b) basis, gross profit declined $13.2 million, or 3.0%, in the second quarter of 2020. Adjusted(b) gross margin increased 20 basis points to 34.9% primarily as a result of favorable commodity prices. Gross profit for the first half of 2020 increased $9.5 million, or 1.2%. On an adjusted(b) basis, gross profit increased $8.8 million compared to the first half of 2019, while adjusted(b) gross margin was 34.8%, consistent with the prior year period.
“The rapid changes in consumer demand we faced in March and during the second quarter required us to make swift changes to our operating model, significantly reduce discretionary spending and make investments to ensure the health and safety of our teammates and customers,” said Dave Katz, President and Chief Operating Officer. “While our business experienced a severe downturn in sales during April, consumer demand rebounded in May and continued to strengthen in June. We are fortunate to be in the Coca-Cola bottling business where our strong brands, loyal customers and consumers and exceptional teammates have enabled us to deliver strong growth during such a challenging time.”
Selling, delivery and administrative (“SD&A”) expenses in the second quarter of 2020 decreased $22.4 million, or 6.1%. SD&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased 70 basis points in the second quarter of 2020. Adjusted(b) SD&A expenses in the second quarter of 2020 decreased $17.4 million, or 4.8%. The decrease in SD&A expenses relates to lower labor costs as a result of adjustments we made to our operating model in response to COVID-19-related impacts on our business. Additionally, we generated favorable results in a number of expense categories due to reductions in local market activity and diligent management of our variable operating expenses. SD&A expenses in the first half of 2020 decreased $19.1 million, or 2.6%. SD&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased 110 basis points in the first half of 2020 as compared to the first half of 2019.
“We are optimistic that the strong actions we have already taken along with continued steady consumer demand will enable us to deliver very solid full year operating results,” Mr. Katz continued. “However, we are very mindful of the rapidly changing environment we find ourselves in and we will continue to adjust our operations accordingly.”
Income from operations in the second quarter of 2020 was $83.1 million, compared to $67.2 million in the second quarter of 2019, an increase of 23.7%. Adjusted(b) income from operations in the second quarter of
2020 was $81.7 million, an increase of 5.4%. For the first half of 2020, income from operations increased $28.6 million to $115.9 million. Adjusted(b) income from operations in the first half of 2020 was $118.5 million, an increase of $20.2 million, or 20.5% compared to the first half of 2019.
Net income in the second quarter of 2020 was $39.6 million, compared to $15.4 million in the second quarter of 2019, an improvement of $24.2 million. Net income for the second quarter of 2020 was adversely impacted by fair value adjustments to our acquisition related contingent consideration liability, driven by changes in future cash flow projections. Fair value adjustments to this liability are non-cash in nature and a routine part of our quarterly financial closing process. Net income increased $45.7 million for the first half of 2020 to $54.2 million as compared to the first half of 2019.
Cash flows provided by operations for the first half of 2020 were $229.0 million, compared to $88.6 million for the first half of 2019. The significant increase in operating cash flows for the first half of 2020 is a result of our strong operating performance and working capital improvement, primarily related to inventory and timing of accounts payable.
(a) All comparisons are to the corresponding period in the prior year unless specified otherwise.
(b) The discussion of the results for the second quarter ended June 28, 2020 includes selected non-GAAP financial information, such as “adjusted” results. The schedules in this news release reconcile such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
(c) Fountain syrups are dispensed through equipment that mixes with carbonated or still water, enabling fountain retailers to sell finished products to consumers in cups or glasses.

(d) The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide users with additional meaningful financial information that should be considered when assessing the Company’s ongoing performance. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating the Company’s performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s non-GAAP financial information does not represent a comprehensive basis of accounting.
