(a) The discussion of the second quarter and first half results includes selected non-GAAP financial information, such as “organic” results. Organic net sales and organic sales volume include results from our distribution territories not impacted by acquisition or divestiture activity during 2017. The schedules in this press release reconcile such non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.


 

Second Quarter 2018 Review

 

CHARLOTTE, August 8, 2018 – Coca‑Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated (NASDAQ:COKE) today reported operating results for the second quarter ended July 1, 2018 and the first half of fiscal 2018.

 

Our Company continued to deliver volume and sales growth during Q2 2018 in the face of challenging commodities and transportation markets. Volume increased to 90.1 million physical cases in Q2 2018, from 88.5 million physical cases in Q2 2017, an increase of 1.8%. Volume for the first half of 2018 was 168.1 million physical cases, reflecting growth of 9.4% over the first half of 2017. Volume growth in the first half of 2018 was driven primarily by territories acquired during 2017. Organic case volume decreased 0.6% in Q2 2018 versus Q2 2017 and organic case volume grew 0.7% for the first half of 2018 over the first half of 2017. We continued to achieve price and mix realization greater than volume growth, driving an increase in net sales of 5.0% and 13.0% for the second quarter and first half of 2018, respectively. Our sales results were driven by growth in both the sparkling and still beverage categories, with sparkling bottle/can sales growing 1.9% and 8.7% and still bottle/can sales growing 9.8% and 16.7% for the second quarter and first half of 2018, respectively. These results were impacted by poor weather in the early part of the second quarter and by the shift of the Easter holiday. The mid-week July 4th holiday also resulted in volume being split between Q2 and Q3 in 2018.

 

In the second quarter, we began taking pricing actions, which mitigated some of the margin compression we experienced in the first quarter. Gross margin declined 190 basis points to 33.6% in Q2 2018 from 35.5% in Q2 2017. This decline in Q2 2018 versus Q2 2017 reflected a sequential improvement compared to the 440 basis point decline in Q1 2018 versus Q1 2017. The primary drivers of this margin compression, in order of magnitude, are (i) rising commodity costs, (ii) the volume shift to lower-margin still products to meet changing consumer preferences, (iii) newly acquired territories generally are experiencing margins lower than our legacy territories, and (iv) increased transportation costs. During Q2 2018, we implemented customer pricing actions which impacted approximately one-third of our sales volume. Sequential margin improvement (i.e., month by month) during the second quarter provided an early indication of the success of these actions, and additional pricing actions implemented in early Q3 2018 are expected to further improve our gross margin performance. We expect commodity and transportation pressures to continue throughout 2018, and we will continue to assess our pricing strategies in light of these cost pressures.

 

Selling, delivery and administrative expenses increased by $25.8 million, or 7.0%, in Q2 2018 as compared to Q2 2017, reflecting the increased volume delivered, incremental effort and costs associated with managing two information system platforms and continued costs to integrate recently acquired territories into our overall business. In addition, our new territories generally experience higher operating costs than our legacy territories. During the latter part of the second quarter we took actions to drive additional productivity. Organizational changes required severance and outplacement expenses of $4.8 million during Q2 2018, which we believe will result in annual cost savings of approximately $25 million to $30 million. Further infrastructure cost savings are being evaluated to secure scale advantages and leverage our cost structure against our expanded territories.

 

Income from operations in Q2 2018 was lower than Q2 2017. We realized operating income of $19.7 million in Q2 2018, as compared to operating income of $48.6 million in Q2 2017. As a result, our first half operating income was $0.7 million, as compared to $63.6 million for the first half of 2017. We are not satisfied with these results, however we believe our system transformation work, our actions-to-date and our ongoing strategic plans will drive improvement in operating income and operating margin performance.

 

We continue to integrate our acquired territories, manufacturing facilities and related operations. This integration requires investments in people, manufacturing, and distribution infrastructure, which we are carefully balancing with our debt reduction goals. We continue to prioritize our capital investments and estimate an additional $75 million to $95 million in property, plant and equipment purchases in the second half of 2018, however, we will diligently monitor these capital projects against our operating performance and growth needs for the remainder of the year.

 

During Q2 2018, we incurred expenses relating to our system transformation of $9.8 million, the majority of which were IT-related costs. We anticipate incurring between $20 million and $25 million of system


 

transformation expenses in the second half of 2018. We believe the remaining system transformation work for our new CONA information systems platform is progressing well. We anticipate substantial completion of our technology system work, including the decommissioning of legacy systems, in the second half of 2018 and early 2019, which we believe will enable cost synergies in 2019 and the future.

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“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. Further, given the transformation of the Company’s business through system transformation transactions with The Coca‑Cola Company and the conversion of its information technology systems, the Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures allow users to better appreciate the impact of these transactions on the Company’s 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.
