PepsiCo Beats Q1 Revenue Expectations Driven by International Demand

PepsiCo reported better-than-expected revenue in the first quarter of 2023, boosted by strong international demand for its snacks and beverages. Revenue increased by 2% to $18.3 billion, surpassing analysts’ forecasts of $18 billion. The company faced challenges in North America due to a Quaker Oats recall, leading to a 24% sales decline in Quaker Foods. However, robust growth in Asia Pacific (11%) and Europe (10%) offset these losses. Despite facing retailer disputes in Europe, PepsiCo has successfully resolved its pricing issues with Carrefour and resumed product distribution. The company has implemented price increases to counter rising ingredient costs, with net pricing rising 5% globally in the first quarter.

PepsiCo Q1 Revenue Exceeds Expectations with Global Demand Driving Growth

Despite a recall-related sales decline in North America, the company’s Asia Pacific and Europe operations delivered double-digit sales growth. PepsiCo’s price increases have slowed in the first quarter, with net pricing up 5% globally. The company’s earnings per share also surpassed Wall Street estimates, contributing to a positive outlook.

PepsiCo Beats Quarterly Expectations Despite Quaker Foods Recall

PepsiCo reported strong earnings and revenue in the first quarter of 2024, exceeding analysts’ forecasts. Excluding a recall of Quaker Foods products, the company’s adjusted earnings per share reached $1.61, compared to the projected $1.52. Net sales rose 2.3% to $18.25 billion, and organic revenue grew by 2.7%. However, PepsiCo faced volume pressure with a 0.5% decline in its food division and flat volume in its beverage segment. The Quaker Foods recall resulted in a 22% drop in volume for the North American division. Despite these challenges, PepsiCo’s international operations showed positive growth, with snacks and beverages in the Asia Pacific region experiencing a 12% and 7% volume increase, respectively. The company remains optimistic about its 2024 outlook, anticipating at least 4% organic revenue growth and 8% EPS growth in constant currency.
