Coca-Cola Reports Third Quarter 2024 Results

and Provides Updated Guidance

Global Unit Case Volume Declined 1%

Net Revenues Declined 1%;

Organic Revenues (Non-GAAP) Grew 9%

Operating Income Declined 23%;

Comparable Currency Neutral Operating Income (Non-GAAP) Grew 14%

Operating Margin Was 21.2% Versus 27.4% in the Prior Year;

Comparable Operating Margin (Non-GAAP) Was 30.7% Versus 29.7% in the Prior Year

EPS Declined 7% to $0.66; Comparable EPS (Non-GAAP) Grew 5% to $0.77

ATLANTA, Oct. 23, 2024 – The Coca-Cola Company today reported third quarter 2024 results. “Our business continues to demonstrate resilience in the face of a dynamic external environment,” said James Quincey, Chairman and CEO of The Coca-Cola Company. “We are encouraged by our year-to-date performance and our system’s ability to manage near-term challenges while also remaining focused on long-term growth opportunities.”


Highlights



Quarterly Performance

•Revenues: Net revenues declined 1% to $11.9 billion, and organic revenues (non-GAAP) grew 9%. Revenue performance included 10% growth in price/mix and a 2% decline in concentrate sales. Concentrate sales were 1 point behind unit case volume, primarily due to the timing of concentrate shipments.

•Operating margin: Operating margin, which includes items impacting comparability, was 21.2% versus 27.4% in the prior year, while comparable operating margin (non-GAAP) was 30.7% versus 29.7% in the prior year. The operating margin decline was driven by items impacting comparability, including a charge of $919 million related to the remeasurement of the contingent consideration liability to fair value in conjunction with the acquisition of fairlife, LLC (“fairlife”) in 2020, as well as currency headwinds. Comparable operating margin (non-GAAP) expansion was primarily driven by strong organic revenue (non-GAAP) growth and the impact of refranchising bottling operations, partially offset by currency headwinds.

•Earnings per share: EPS declined 7% to $0.66, while comparable EPS (non-GAAP) grew 5% to $0.77. EPS performance included the impact of a 13-point currency headwind, while comparable EPS (non-GAAP) performance included the impact of a 9-point currency headwind.

•Market share: The company gained value share in total nonalcoholic ready-to-drink (NARTD) beverages.

•Cash flow: Cash flow from operations and free cash flow (non-GAAP) were $2.9 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively. Both decreased versus the prior year, primarily due to a $6.0 billion payment made to the IRS related to ongoing tax litigation (“IRS tax litigation deposit”). Free cash flow excluding the IRS tax litigation deposit (non-GAAP) was $7.6 billion, a decrease of $294 million versus the prior year, largely due to higher other tax payments, higher capital expenditures and cycling working capital benefits, partially offset by strong business performance.



Company Updates

•Fulfilling consumer needs with a powerful total beverage portfolio: In addition to clear leadership within the sparkling portfolio, the company is using its refreshed resource allocation capabilities to prioritize growing brands across categories that add incremental system profit over the long term. The company’s water, sports and tea offerings consist of 12 billion-dollar brands and have added nearly $9 billion in incremental brand value since 2020. This year’s Olympic and Paralympic Games demonstrated how the Coca-Cola system can leverage partnerships to drive business growth across its non-sparkling portfolio to create connections and drive recruitment. During the opening and closing ceremonies in Paris, a special-edition smartwater gold bottle for athletes quickly garnered 42 million impressions and contributed to smartwater gaining both volume and value share during the quarter. The company continued to advance Powerade’s global “Pause is Power” platform, which is yielding positive results. Outside of the United States, Powerade is the leading sports beverage brand and, year-to-date, has expanded distribution and grown value share through global system activations. Across markets such as Europe and Eurasia and Middle East, Fuze Tea’s “Made of Fusion” platform has led to year-to-date retail value growth three times faster than the industry. Finally, in North America, Topo Chico leads the premium sparkling water category in both volume and value share. Successful innovations like Topo Chico Sabores are attracting new consumers to the brand, leading to an over 20% increase in household penetration so far this year. The company remains relentlessly consumer centric and continues to position its total beverage portfolio to meet evolving consumer needs.

•Scaling digital capabilities to enhance the strategic growth flywheel: The company is leveraging leading digital technologies – including generative AI, analytical AI, machine learning and other tools – to drive agility, productivity and innovation. In partnership with WPP, the company is an early adopter of innovative generative AI technology from NVIDIA, which provides AI-powered capabilities to create customizable, on-demand advertisements and point-of-sale imagery. This globally scalable platform offers customers instant access to locally relevant marketing materials that reflect personalized food preferences and passion points, resulting in more effective consumer messaging, faster speed to market and lower costs. To elevate the company's revenue growth management capabilities, the company is piloting an AI-based price-pack-channel optimization tool to drive increased volume and retail sales. Additionally, AI is being used in the research and development process to enhance product innovation success rates and speed to launch by more accurately gauging consumer reactions through multi-sensorial facial coding during product testing. This data helps the company identify and incorporate unique flavors and aromas into new product developments, including the successful reformulations of Sprite and Fanta. Together, these initiatives demonstrate the company's commitment to harnessing the power of digital technology as a capability, a medium and a disruptor to drive sustainable growth and deliver exceptional value to consumers and customers.

1 For Bottling Investments, this represents the percent change in net revenues attributable to the increase (decrease) in unit case volume computed based on total sales (rather than average daily sales) in each of the corresponding periods after considering the impact of structural changes, if any.

2 Organic revenues, comparable currency neutral operating income and comparable currency neutral EPS are non-GAAP financial measures. Refer to the Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures section.

3 Unit case volume is computed based on average daily sales.

4 Due to the combination of multiple business models in the Global Ventures operating segment, the composition of concentrate sales and price/mix may fluctuate materially from period to period. Therefore, the company places greater focus on revenue growth as the best indicator of underlying performance of the Global Ventures operating segment.

In addition to the data in the preceding tables, operating results included the following:



Consolidated

•Unit case volume declined 1%. Growth led by Brazil, the Philippines and Japan was more than offset by declines in China, Mexico and Türkiye.

Unit case volume performance included the following:

◦Sparkling soft drinks and Trademark Coca-Cola were both even as growth in Latin America, North America and Asia Pacific was offset by a decline in Europe, Middle East and Africa. Coca-Cola Zero Sugar grew 11%, driven by growth across all geographic operating segments. Sparkling flavors declined 1% as growth in North America and Asia Pacific was more than offset by declines in Europe, Middle East and Africa and Latin America.

◦Juice, value-added dairy and plant-based beverages declined 3% as strong growth in fairlife® in the United States was more than offset by declines in Minute Maid® Pulpy in Asia Pacific and Mazoe® in Africa.

◦Water, sports, coffee and tea declined 4%. Water declined 6%, driven by declines across all geographic operating segments. Sports drinks declined 3% as growth in Europe, Middle East and Africa was more than offset by declines across all other geographic operating segments. Coffee declined 6%, primarily due to the performance of Costa® coffee in the United Kingdom. Tea grew 7%, driven by growth in Asia Pacific, Latin America and Europe, Middle East and Africa.

•Price/mix grew 10%. Approximately 4 points were driven by pricing from markets experiencing intense inflation, with the remainder driven by pricing actions in the marketplace and favorable mix. Concentrate sales were 1 point behind unit case volume, primarily due to the timing of concentrate shipments.

•Operating income declined 23%, which included items impacting comparability and a 15-point currency headwind. Comparable currency neutral operating income (non-GAAP) grew 14%, primarily driven by organic revenue (non-GAAP) growth across all geographic operating segments.



Europe, Middle East & Africa

•Unit case volume declined 2% as growth in water, sports, coffee and tea was more than offset by declines in Trademark Coca-Cola, sparkling flavors and juice, value-added dairy and plant-based beverages.

•Price/mix grew 9%, primarily driven by pricing from markets experiencing intense inflation as well as pricing actions across operating units, partially offset by unfavorable mix. Concentrate sales were 5 points behind unit case volume, primarily due to the timing of concentrate shipments.

•Operating income declined 14%, which included items impacting comparability and a 12-point currency headwind. Comparable currency neutral operating income (non-GAAP) declined 2%, as organic revenue (non-GAAP) growth and the timing of marketing investments was more than offset by higher input costs and operating expenses.

•The company gained value share in total NARTD beverages, led by share gains in Romania, France and South Africa.



Latin America

•Unit case volume was even as growth in Trademark Coca-Cola was offset by declines in water, sports, coffee and tea and sparkling flavors.

•Price/mix grew 21%. Approximately two-thirds of the growth was driven by the impact of inflationary pricing in Argentina, with the remainder driven by pricing actions in the marketplace. Concentrate sales were 2 points ahead of unit case volume, primarily due to the timing of concentrate shipments.

•Operating income declined 5%, which included items impacting comparability and a 28-point currency headwind. Comparable currency neutral operating income (non-GAAP) grew 32%, primarily driven by strong organic revenue (non-GAAP) growth, partially offset by an increase in marketing investments and higher operating expenses.

•The company lost value share in total NARTD beverages, driven by share losses in Mexico and Brazil.



North America

•Unit case volume was even as growth in Trademark Coca-Cola, juice, value-added dairy and plant-based beverages and sparkling flavors was offset by a decline in water, sports, coffee and tea.

•Price/mix grew 11%, driven by favorable mix and pricing actions in the marketplace. Concentrate sales were 1 point ahead of unit case volume, primarily due to the timing of concentrate shipments.

•Operating income grew 10%, which included items impacting comparability. Comparable currency neutral operating income (non-GAAP) grew 16%, primarily driven by strong organic revenue (non-GAAP) growth, partially offset by higher input costs and an increase in marketing investments.

•The company gained value share in total NARTD beverages, driven by share gains in Trademark Coca-Cola and juice, value-added dairy and plant-based beverages.



Asia Pacific

•The company gained value share in total NARTD beverages, led by share gains in the Philippines, Japan and South Korea.



Global Ventures

•Net revenues were even, and organic revenues (non-GAAP) declined 2%, as favorable pricing initiatives were offset by unfavorable product mix.

•Operating income declined 5%, which included items impacting comparability. Comparable currency neutral operating income (non-GAAP) grew 3%, driven by product mix.



Bottling Investments

•Unit case volume declined 31%, largely due to the impact of refranchising bottling operations.

Outlook

The 2024 and 2025 outlook information provided below includes forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, which management uses in measuring performance. The company is not able to reconcile full-year 2024 projected organic revenues (non-GAAP) to full-year 2024 projected reported net revenues, full-year 2024 projected comparable net revenues (non-GAAP) to full-year 2024 projected reported net revenues, full-year 2024 projected underlying effective tax rate (non-GAAP) to full-year 2024 projected reported effective tax rate, full-year 2024 projected comparable currency neutral EPS (non-GAAP) to full-year 2024 projected reported EPS, full-year 2024 projected comparable EPS (non-GAAP) to full-year 2024 projected reported EPS, full-year 2025 projected comparable net revenues (non-GAAP) to full-year 2025 projected reported net revenues, or full-year 2025 projected comparable EPS (non-GAAP) to full-year 2025 projected reported EPS without unreasonable efforts because it is not possible to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the exact timing and exact impact of acquisitions, divestitures and structural changes throughout 2024; the exact timing and exact amount of items impacting comparability throughout 2024 and 2025; and the exact impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates throughout 2024 and 2025. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the company’s full-year 2024 and full-year 2025 reported financial results.

Full Year 2024

The company expects to deliver organic revenue (non-GAAP) growth of approximately 10%, which consists of operating performance at the high end of the company’s long-term growth model and the anticipated pricing impact of a number of markets experiencing intense inflation. — Updated

For comparable net revenues (non-GAAP), the company expects an approximate 5% currency headwind based on the current rates and including the impact of hedged positions. Comparable EPS (non-GAAP) percentage growth is expected to include an approximate 9% currency headwind based on the current rates and including the impact of hedged positions. The majority of currency headwinds are due to devaluation resulting from intense inflation. — Updated

For comparable net revenues (non-GAAP), the company expects a 4% to 5% headwind from acquisitions, divestitures and structural changes. Comparable EPS (non-GAAP) is expected to include a 1% to 2% headwind from acquisitions, divestitures and structural changes. — No Update

The company’s underlying effective tax rate (non-GAAP) is estimated to be 18.8%. This does not include the impact of ongoing tax litigation with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, if the company were not to prevail. — Updated

The company expects to deliver comparable currency neutral EPS (non-GAAP) growth of 14% to 15%. — Updated

The company expects comparable EPS (non-GAAP) growth of 5% to 6%, versus $2.69 in 2023. — No Update

The company expects to generate free cash flow excluding the IRS tax litigation deposit (non-GAAP) of approximately $9.2 billion. This consists of cash flow from operations excluding the IRS tax litigation deposit (non-GAAP) of approximately $11.4 billion, less capital expenditures of approximately $2.2 billion. — No Update

Fourth Quarter 2024 Considerations — New

Comparable net revenues (non-GAAP) are expected to include an approximate 4% currency headwind based on the current rates and including the impact of hedged positions, in addition to a 4% to 5% headwind from acquisitions, divestitures and structural changes.

Comparable EPS (non-GAAP) percentage growth is expected to include an approximate 10% currency headwind based on the current rates and including the impact of hedged positions, in addition to a 3% to 4% headwind from acquisitions, divestitures and structural changes.

Full Year 2025 Considerations — New

Comparable net revenues (non-GAAP) are expected to include a low single-digit currency headwind based on the current rates and including the impact of hedged positions.

Comparable EPS (non-GAAP) percentage growth is expected to include a mid single-digit currency headwind based on the current rates and including the impact of hedged positions.

The company expects elevated interest expense resulting from the debt issued to pay the IRS tax litigation deposit and the upcoming fairlife contingent consideration payment.

The company will provide full-year 2025 guidance when it reports fourth quarter earnings.



Notes

•All references to growth rate percentages and share compare the results of the period to those of the prior year comparable period, unless otherwise noted.

•All references to volume and volume percentage changes indicate unit case volume, unless otherwise noted. All volume percentage changes are computed based on average daily sales, unless otherwise noted. “Unit case” means a unit of measurement equal to 192 U.S. fluid ounces of finished beverage (24 eight-ounce servings), with the exception of unit case equivalents for Costa non-ready-to-drink beverage products which are primarily measured in number of transactions. “Unit case volume” means the number of unit cases (or unit case equivalents) of company beverages directly or indirectly sold by the company and its bottling partners to customers or consumers.

•“Concentrate sales” represents the amount of concentrates, syrups, beverage bases, source waters and powders/minerals (in all instances expressed in unit case equivalents) sold by, or used in finished beverages sold by, the company to its bottling partners or other customers. For Costa non-ready-to-drink beverage products, “concentrate sales” represents the amount of beverages, primarily measured in number of transactions (in all instances expressed in unit case equivalents) sold by the company to customers or consumers. In the reconciliation of reported net revenues, “concentrate sales” represents the percent change in net revenues attributable to the increase (decrease) in concentrate sales volume for the geographic operating segments and the Global Ventures operating segment after considering the impact of structural changes, if any. For the Bottling Investments operating segment, this represents the percent change in net revenues attributable to the increase (decrease) in unit case volume computed based on total sales (rather than average daily sales) in each of the corresponding periods after considering the impact of structural changes, if any. The Bottling Investments operating segment reflects unit case volume growth for consolidated bottlers only.

•“Price/mix” represents the change in net operating revenues caused by factors such as price changes, the mix of products and packages sold, and the mix of channels and geographic territories where the sales occurred.

•First quarter 2024 financial results were impacted by one less day as compared to first quarter 2023, and fourth quarter 2024 financial results will be impacted by two additional days as compared to fourth quarter 2023. Unit case volume results for the quarters are not impacted by the variances in days due to the average daily sales computation referenced above.



Conference Call

The company is hosting a conference call with investors and analysts to discuss third quarter operating results today, Oct. 23, 2024, at 8:30 a.m. ET. The company invites participants to listen to a live webcast of the conference call on the company’s website, http://www.coca-colacompany.com, in the “Investors” section. An audio replay in downloadable digital format and a transcript of the call will be available on the website within 24 hours following the call. Further, the “Investors” section of the website includes certain supplemental information and a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the company’s results as reported under GAAP, which may be used during the call when discussing financial results.

THE COCA-COLA COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP” or referred to herein as “reported”). To supplement our consolidated financial statements reported on a GAAP basis, we provide the following non-GAAP financial measures: “comparable net revenues,” “comparable currency neutral net revenues,” “organic revenues,” “comparable operating margin,” “underlying operating margin,” “comparable operating income,” “comparable currency neutral operating income,” “comparable EPS,” “comparable currency neutral EPS,” “underlying effective tax rate,” “cash flow from operations excluding the IRS tax litigation deposit,” “free cash flow” and “free cash flow excluding the IRS tax litigation deposit,” each of which is defined below. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with additional meaningful financial information that should be considered when assessing our underlying business performance and trends. Further, management believes these non-GAAP financial measures also enhance investors’ ability to compare period-to-period financial results. 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. Our non-GAAP financial measures do not represent a comprehensive basis of accounting. Therefore, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP information are also included below. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating, compensation and planning decisions and in evaluating the company’s performance. Disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures allows investors and management to view our operating results excluding the impact of items that are not reflective of the underlying operating performance.

DEFINITIONS

•“Currency neutral operating results” are determined by dividing or multiplying, as appropriate, our current period actual U.S. dollar operating results, by the current period actual exchange rates (that include the impact of current period currency hedging activities), to derive our current period local currency operating results. We then multiply or divide, as appropriate, the derived current period local currency operating results by the foreign currency exchange rates (that also include the impact of the comparable prior period currency hedging activities) used to translate the company’s financial statements in the comparable prior year period to determine what the current period U.S. dollar operating results would have been if the foreign currency exchange rates had not changed from the comparable prior year period.

•“Structural changes” generally refer to acquisitions and divestitures of bottling operations, including the impact of intercompany transactions between our operating segments. In January 2023, the company refranchised our bottling operations in Vietnam. The impact of this refranchising has been included in acquisitions, divestitures and structural changes in our analysis of net revenues on a consolidated basis as well as for the Bottling Investments and Asia Pacific operating segments for the nine months ended September 27, 2024. In January and February 2024, the company refranchised our bottling operations in certain territories in India, and in February 2024, the company refranchised our bottling operations in Bangladesh and the Philippines. The impact of each of these refranchisings has been included in acquisitions, divestitures and structural changes in our analysis of net revenues on a consolidated basis as well as for the Bottling Investments and Asia Pacific operating segments for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2024.

•“Comparable net revenues” is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability (discussed further below). “Comparable currency neutral net revenues” is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability (discussed further below) as well as the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Management believes the comparable net revenues (non-GAAP) growth measure and the comparable currency neutral net revenues (non-GAAP) growth measure provide investors with useful supplemental information to enhance their understanding of the company’s revenue performance and trends by improving their ability to compare our period-to-period results. “Organic revenues” is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and structural changes, as applicable, and the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Management believes the organic revenue (non-GAAP) growth measure provides users with useful supplemental information regarding the company’s ongoing revenue performance and trends by presenting revenue growth excluding the impact of foreign exchange as well as the


THE COCA-COLA COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

impact of acquisitions, divestitures and structural changes. The adjustments related to acquisitions, divestitures and structural changes for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2024 included the structural changes discussed above. Additionally, in May 2023, the company acquired certain brands in Asia Pacific. The impact of acquiring these brands has been included in acquisitions, divestitures and structural changes in our analysis of net revenues on a consolidated basis as well as for the Asia Pacific operating segment for the nine months ended September 27, 2024.

•“Comparable operating income” is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability (discussed further below). “Comparable currency neutral operating income” is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability (discussed further below) and the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. “Comparable operating margin” is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability (discussed further below). “Underlying operating margin” is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability (discussed further below), the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, and the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and structural changes, as applicable. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the company’s performance and make resource allocation decisions. Further, management believes the comparable operating income (non-GAAP) growth measure, comparable currency neutral operating income (non-GAAP) growth measure, comparable operating margin (non-GAAP) measure and underlying operating margin (non-GAAP) measure enhance its ability to communicate the underlying operating results and provide investors with useful supplemental information to enhance their understanding of the company’s underlying business performance and trends by improving their ability to compare our period-to-period financial results.

•“Comparable EPS” and “comparable currency neutral EPS” are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude or have otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability (discussed further below). Comparable currency neutral EPS (non-GAAP) has also been adjusted for the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the company’s performance and make resource allocation decisions. Further, management believes the comparable EPS (non-GAAP) and comparable currency neutral EPS (non-GAAP) growth measures enhance its ability to communicate the underlying operating results and provide investors with useful supplemental information to enhance their understanding of the company’s underlying business performance and trends by improving their ability to compare our period-to-period financial results.

•“Underlying effective tax rate” is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents the estimated annual effective income tax rate on income before income taxes, which excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability (discussed further below).

•“Cash flow from operations excluding the IRS tax litigation deposit” is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net cash provided by operating activities excluding the company’s IRS tax litigation deposit that was paid in 2024. “Free cash flow” is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment. “Free cash flow excluding the IRS tax litigation deposit” is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment and excludes the company’s IRS tax litigation deposit that was paid in 2024. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the company’s performance and make resource allocation decisions.

ITEMS IMPACTING COMPARABILITY

The following information is provided to give qualitative and quantitative information related to items impacting comparability. Items impacting comparability are not defined terms within GAAP. Therefore, our non-GAAP financial information may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We determine which items to consider as “items impacting comparability” based on how management views our business; makes financial, operating, compensation and planning decisions; and evaluates the company’s ongoing performance. Items such as charges, gains and accounting changes which are viewed by management as impacting only the current period or the comparable period, but not both, or as pertaining to different and unrelated underlying activities or events across comparable periods, are generally considered “items impacting comparability.” Items impacting comparability include, but


THE COCA-COLA COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

are not limited to, asset impairments, transaction gains/losses including associated costs, and charges related to restructuring initiatives, in each case when exceeding a U.S. dollar threshold. Also included are our proportionate share of similar items incurred by our equity method investees, timing differences related to our economic (non-designated) hedging activities, and timing differences related to unrealized mark-to-market adjustments of equity securities and trading debt securities, regardless of size. In addition, we provide the impact that fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates had on our financial results (“currency neutral operating results” defined above).

Other Items

Economic (Non-Designated) Hedges

The company uses derivatives as economic hedges primarily to mitigate the foreign exchange risk for certain currencies, certain interest rate risk, and the price risk associated with the purchase of materials used in our manufacturing processes as well as the purchase of vehicle fuel. Although these derivatives were not designated and/or did not qualify for hedge accounting, they are effective economic hedges. The changes in fair values of these economic hedges are immediately recognized in earnings.

The company excludes the net impact of mark-to-market adjustments for outstanding hedges and realized gains/losses for settled hedges from our non-GAAP financial information until the period in which the underlying exposure being hedged impacts our consolidated statement of income. Management believes this adjustment provides meaningful information related to the impact of our economic hedging activities. During the three and nine months ended September 27, 2024, the net impact of the company’s adjustment related to our economic hedging activities resulted in increases of $104 million and $24 million, respectively, to our non-GAAP income before income taxes.

During the three and nine months ended September 29, 2023, the net impact of the company’s adjustment related to our economic hedging activities resulted in decreases of $103 million and $65 million, respectively, to our non-GAAP income before income taxes.

The company excludes the net impact of unrealized gains and losses resulting from mark-to-market adjustments on our equity and trading debt securities from our non-GAAP financial information until the period in which the underlying securities are sold and the associated gains or losses are realized, unless individually significant. Management believes this adjustment provides meaningful information related to the impact of our investments in equity and trading debt securities. During the three and nine months ended September 27, 2024, the net impact of the company’s adjustment related to unrealized gains and losses on our equity and trading debt securities resulted in decreases of $103 million and $264 million, respectively, to our non-GAAP income before income taxes.

During the three and nine months ended September 29, 2023, the net impact of the company’s adjustment related to unrealized gains and losses on our equity and trading debt securities resulted in increases of $113 million and $178 million, respectively, to our non-GAAP income before income taxes.
