Second Quarter and First Half 2023 Review
CHARLOTTE, August 2, 2023 – Coca‑Cola Consolidated, Inc. (NASDAQ: COKE) today reported operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023 and the first half of fiscal 2023.
“The strong business momentum we attained early this year continued in the second quarter as we posted another quarter of very strong profit growth and achieved a record high operating margin of 13.4%,” said J. Frank Harrison, III, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our results are a testament to the strength of our brands and the dedication of our people as we navigate the current retail environment and the ever-evolving preferences of our consumers. I believe the plans we have in place for the second half will enable us to build on our first-half success, further strengthen our field operations and drive continued consumer engagement with our brands.”
Net sales increased 9% to $1.74 billion in the second quarter of 2023 and increased 10% to $3.31 billion in the first half of 2023. The increase in net sales was driven primarily by price increases taken across our product portfolio over the last year.
Standard physical case volume declined 4.0% in the second quarter of 2023 and declined 3.6% in the first half of 2023. Sparkling category volume decreased 2.1% during the second quarter; however, our Sparkling portfolio continues to perform well versus historical price elasticities typically associated with higher pricing. Sales in Immediate Consumption continue to perform well, outpacing sales of take-home packages. Still volume declined 8.9% during the second quarter as the overall sports drinks category slowed considerably. Other Still categories such as energy and enhanced water continue to perform well with Monster and smartwater both achieving solid growth in the quarter.
Gross profit in the second quarter of 2023 was $671.6 million, an increase of $120.9 million, or 22%, while gross margin improved 410 basis points to 38.6%. The improvement in gross profit resulted primarily from higher prices for our products and a moderation of prices for certain commodities. Gross profit in the first half of 2023 was $1.30 billion, an increase of $237.4 million, or 22%. The Company continues to expect pricing growth to slow in the second half of 2023 as we hurdle 2022 price increases.
“Our strong second quarter results reinforce the success we are having with our retail partners in commercializing our local marketing plans and providing our consumers with a variety of affordable packages,” said Dave Katz, President and Chief Operating Officer. “This is a very dynamic period as we see consumers shifting between retail channels, especially within supermarkets, Club and Value stores. As overall volume slowed in the second quarter, we have proactively engaged with our retail partners to help drive consumer traffic and transaction growth for the balance of this year.”
Selling, delivery and administrative (“SD&A”) expenses in the second quarter of 2023 increased $34.5 million, or 9%. SD&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased 10 basis points to 25.2% in the second quarter of 2023. The increase in SD&A expenses related primarily to an increase in labor costs, resulting from certain compensation and benefits adjustments made in the prior year to retain and reward our teammates in a challenging labor environment. In addition, broad inflationary increases across a number of SD&A categories pushed expenses higher during the quarter. SD&A expenses in the first half of 2023 increased $76.0 million, or 10%. SD&A expenses as a percentage of net sales in the first half of 2023 decreased 10 basis points to 25.9% as compared to the first half of 2022. We expect the rate of increase to slow in the second half of this year as we hurdle labor adjustments made in late 2022.
Income from operations in the second quarter of 2023 was $233.7 million, compared to $147.3 million in the second quarter of 2022, an increase of 59%. On an adjusted(b) basis, income from operations in the second quarter of 2023 increased 47% as compared to the second quarter of 2022. Operating margin for the second quarter of 2023 was 13.4% as compared to 9.2% in the second quarter of 2022, an increase of 420 basis points.
Net income in the second quarter of 2023 was $122.3 million, compared to $99.6 million in the second quarter of 2022, an improvement of $22.8 million. On an adjusted(b) basis, net income in the second quarter of 2023 was $172.8 million, compared to $112.2 million in the second quarter of 2022, an increase of $60.6 million.
Second quarter net income was adversely impacted by routine, non-cash fair value adjustments to our acquisition related contingent consideration liability, driven by changes in the discount rate and future cash flow projections used to compute the fair value of the liability. Second quarter net income was also adversely impacted by the partial settlement of our primary pension plan, which resulted in a non-cash charge of $39.8 million. In the third quarter of 2023, the Company expects to record an additional non-cash charge of approximately $79 million related to the remaining settlement of the primary pension plan.
Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2023 was $42.4 million, compared to $34.4 million in the second quarter of 2022, resulting in an effective income tax rate of approximately 26% for both periods. For the second quarter of 2023, basic net income per share was $13.05 and adjusted(b) basic net income per share was $18.43.
Cash flows provided by operations for first half 2023 were $383.3 million, compared to $243.5 million for first half 2022. Cash flows from operations reflected our strong operating performance and the timing of certain working capital payments and receipts during the second quarter. In the first half of 2023, we invested $92.9 million in capital expenditures as we continue to optimize our supply chain and invest for the future growth of small bottle PET packages and mini cans. In fiscal year 2023, we expect our capital expenditures to be between $250 million and $300 million.
(a) All comparisons are to the corresponding period in the prior year unless specified otherwise.
(b) The discussion of the operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023 and the first half of fiscal 2023 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, in addition to the measures reported in accordance with GAAP, 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.
