Third Quarter and First Nine Months 2022 Review
CHARLOTTE, November 1, 2022 – Coca‑Cola Consolidated, Inc. (NASDAQ: COKE) today reported operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022 and the first nine months of fiscal 2022.
“Our 2022 performance has been comprised of an outstanding mix of solid volume, improved margins and strong free cash flow generation. Our team’s highly effective execution across all aspects of our business has enabled us to continue to strengthen our balance sheet through debt reduction, reward and recognize our teammates and invest in and serve our communities like never before,” said J. Frank Harrison, III, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We are optimistic about the remainder of 2022 as we are actively developing plans for another year of solid performance in 2023.”
Net sales increased 12% to $1.63 billion in the third quarter of 2022, while physical case volume increased 0.6%. The increase in net sales was driven primarily by price increases taken on our Sparkling and Still beverages during the quarter and earlier this year. Sparkling beverage volume increased 0.8% in the quarter, outperforming the price elasticity we generally have experienced with higher pricing. Volume growth was particularly strong in our value, club and small store sales channels. We also experienced solid demand in our on‑premise sales channels, including restaurants, universities, sports venues, amusement parks and other immediate consumption outlets, as consumer traffic has increased compared to the prior year period. Still beverage volume increased 0.1% in the quarter, led by growth in Monster and smartwater. Net sales increased 11% and physical case volume increased 0.4% in the first nine months of 2022.
Gross profit in the third quarter of 2022 increased $103.4 million, or 20%, while gross margin improved 260 basis points to 38.1%. The improvement in gross profit resulted from strong price realization and solid volume growth in our Sparkling category. Gross margins also benefited during the quarter from a pullback in certain commodity prices. Gross profit in the first nine months of 2022 increased $218.0 million, or 15%.
“Our revenue growth management strategies continued to be effective in the third quarter as we took additional pricing to overcome higher costs and improve category profitability for us and our retail partners,” said Dave Katz, President and Chief Operating Officer. “Volume remained solid as consumers are adjusting to higher retail prices and are responding well to our value‑oriented packages. In addition, we achieved improved inventory levels and in‑store availability during the quarter allowing for even higher levels of in‑market execution.”
Selling, delivery and administrative (“SD&A”) expenses in the third quarter of 2022 increased $50.5 million, or 13%. SD&A expenses as a percentage of net sales increased 40 basis points to 26.5%. The increase in SD&A expenses related primarily to an increase in labor costs as compared to the third quarter of 2021. Over the last year, we have made certain compensation adjustments across our workforce to remain competitive in a
challenging labor market and to reward our teammates for their contributions in achieving strong operating results. In addition, we experienced broad inflationary increases across a number of SD&A categories. SD&A expenses in the first nine months of 2022 increased $101.9 million, or 9%. SD&A expenses as a percentage of net sales in the first nine months of 2022 decreased 50 basis points to 26.2% as compared to the first nine months of 2021.
“Our strong operating results and cash flow generation are enabling us to reinvest in both our teammates and our infrastructure,” Mr. Katz continued. “While our investments in labor rates and teammate recognition have contributed to higher operating expense growth this year, we believe our long‑term success is highly dependent on attracting and retaining talent in this highly competitive labor market. In addition, our capital investments in manufacturing and warehousing are improving our supply chain flexibility and giving us additional capacity in small PET and mini can packages, which are central to our consumer value strategy.”
Income from operations in the third quarter of 2022 was $189.9 million, compared to $137.0 million in the third quarter of 2021, an increase of $52.9 million, or 39%. On an adjusted(b) basis, income from operations in the third quarter of 2022 was $193.9 million, an increase of 41%. For the first nine months of 2022, income from operations increased $116.1 million to $468.2 million.
Net income in the third quarter of 2022 was $118.8 million, compared to $68.9 million in the third quarter of 2021, an improvement of $49.8 million. Net income in the third quarter of 2022 was adversely impacted by fair value adjustments to our acquisition related contingent consideration liability, driven primarily by changes in future cash flow projections. Fair value adjustments to this liability are routine and non‑cash in nature. Net income increased $141.2 million in the first nine months of 2022 to $311.7 million as compared to the first nine months of 2021.
Cash flows provided by operations for the first nine months of 2022 were $394.3 million, compared to $439.9 million for the first nine months of 2021. Cash flows from operations were impacted by the timing of certain working capital payments and receipts during the third quarter. We continue to invest in long‑term strategic projects to optimize our supply chain and reduce our debt obligations. During the third quarter, the Company repaid $125 million of senior notes prior to their stated maturity date of February 27, 2023.
(a) All comparisons are to the corresponding period in the prior year unless specified otherwise.
(b) The discussion of the operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022 and the first nine months of fiscal 2022 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) 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 of the financial statements 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.
