Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2022 Review
CHARLOTTE, February 22, 2023 – Coca‑Cola Consolidated, Inc. (NASDAQ: COKE) today reported operating results for the fourth quarter and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
Net sales increased 12% to $1.57 billion in the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase in net sales was driven primarily by price increases taken across our portfolio. Volume in the fourth quarter of 2022 declined 1.1% on a reported basis. The fourth quarter of 2022 included one additional selling day compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. On a comparable(b) basis, physical case volume declined 2.1%, which included a decline in Sparkling and Still categories of 0.5% and 6.2%, respectively. Sparkling beverage volume continued to outperform price elasticities we have historically experienced with higher pricing.
“Our Company celebrated important achievements in 2022. Not only did we celebrate our 120th year selling the world’s best brands, we also marked this important milestone by reaching record profitability,” said J. Frank Harrison, III, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “I am incredibly proud of all of our teammates who overcame staffing challenges and supply chain disruptions to meet the needs of our customers and consumers. We look forward to another strong year of performance in 2023 as we continue to evolve our purpose-driven business model and consistently reinvest to drive long-term, profitable growth.”
For fiscal year 2022, net sales increased 11% to $6.20 billion, with physical case volume flat when compared to the prior year. Sparkling and Still net sales increased 16.6% and 8.5%, respectively, compared to fiscal year 2021. Sparkling volume grew 0.6% in 2022, driven by strong consumer demand for our multi-serve can and small bottle PET packages. Brands within the Sparkling category benefited from solid demand in our on-premise sales channels, including restaurants, universities, sports venues, amusement parks and other immediate consumption outlets. Still volume decreased 1.3% for 2022.
Gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2022 increased $105.8 million, or 22%, while gross margin improved 300 basis points to 38.1%. Adjusted(b) gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2022 was $597.0 million, which represented an increase of $100.3 million or 20%. The improvement in gross profit resulted from higher prices for our products, stable volume and prices for certain commodities moderating from historically high levels. Gross profit in fiscal year 2022 increased $323.8 million, or 17%, while gross margin improved 160 basis points to 36.7% .
“Our 2022 operating performance reflects our focus on long-term margin improvement, the strength of our brands and our strong execution in the marketplace,” said Dave Katz, President and Chief Operating Officer. “We were proactive with our revenue management initiatives to address the high levels of inflation we experienced while also introducing new, more affordable package configurations across our portfolio. We believe our targeted investments in mini can and small bottle PET capacity, along with projects that advance
the use of technology and automation in our business model, were major contributors to our success in 2022 and will be key enablers for us as we move into 2023.”
Selling, delivery and administrative (“SD&A”) expenses in the fourth quarter of 2022 increased $20.0 million, or 5%. SD&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased 180 basis points to 27.1% in the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase in SD&A expenses related primarily to an increase in labor costs as compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. Over the last year, we have made certain investments in our teammates to reward performance for their contributions in achieving strong operating results and to remain competitive in the current labor environment. In addition, we continue to experience broad inflationary increases across a number of SD&A categories. SD&A expenses in fiscal year 2022 increased $121.9 million, or 8%. SD&A expenses as a percentage of net sales in fiscal year 2022 decreased 80 basis points to 26.4% as compared to fiscal year 2021.
Income from operations in the fourth quarter of 2022 was $172.8 million, compared to $87.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, an increase of 98%. For fiscal year 2022, income from operations increased $201.9 million to $641.0 million.
Net income in the fourth quarter of 2022 was $118.4 million, compared to $19.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, an improvement of $99.3 million. Net income in the fourth quarter of 2022 and 2021 was adversely impacted by fair value adjustments to our acquisition related contingent consideration liability, driven by changes in future cash flow projections and the discount rate used to compute the fair value of the liability. Fair value adjustments to this liability are routine and non-cash in nature. Income tax expense for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $37.0 million, compared to $3.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase in income tax expense was the result of higher pre-tax income. Net income increased $240.6 million in fiscal year 2022 to $430.2 million as compared to fiscal year 2021.
Cash flows provided by operations for fiscal year 2022 were $554.5 million, compared to $521.8 million for fiscal year 2021. Cash flows from operations were impacted by the timing of certain working capital payments and receipts during the fourth quarter. In the fourth quarter of 2022, we invested $114.7 million in capital expenditures as we continue to optimize our supply chain and invest for future growth. In fiscal year 2023, we expect our capital expenditures to be between $250 million and $300 million. A priority in fiscal year 2022 was to reduce our debt obligations and to strengthen our balance sheet, which resulted in the reduction of our outstanding indebtedness by $125 million during the year.
(a) All comparisons are to the corresponding period in the prior year unless specified otherwise.
(b) The discussion of the operating results for the fourth quarter and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 includes selected non-GAAP financial information, such as “comparable” and “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.
