DR PEPPER SNAPPLE GROUP REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2015 RESULTS

Reported EPS were $0.81 for the quarter. Core EPS were $0.81 for the quarter, up 9%.
Net sales increased 4% for the quarter.
Year-to-date, the company returned $214 million to shareholders.

Plano, TX, April 23, 2015 - Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc. (NYSE: DPS) reported first quarter 2015 EPS of $0.81 compared to $0.78 in the prior year period, an increase of 4%. Core EPS were also $0.81, compared to $0.74 in the prior year, an increase of 9%.

For the quarter, reported net sales increased 4%, as a sales volume increase of 2% and favorable segment and product mix were partially offset by 1 percentage point of unfavorable foreign currency translation. Reported segment operating profit (SOP) increased 7%, or $23 million, on net sales growth, ongoing productivity improvements and a planned reduction in marketing investments. On a currency neutral basis, SOP increased 10%.

Reported income from operations for the quarter was $270 million, up 4% compared to the prior year period, including a $1 million unrealized commodity mark-to-market loss. Reported income from operations was $260 million in the prior year period, including $12 million of unrealized commodity mark-to-market gains. Core income from operations was $271 million, up 9% compared to the prior year period.

DPS President and CEO Larry Young said, “We had a strong start to 2015. Our teams continued to persevere though a challenging environment by executing against our key priorities of building our brands with consumers and executing with excellence in the marketplace. We grew both dollar and volume share in CSDs in Nielsen-measured markets, outperforming the category. We expanded distribution and availability across our tea and juice portfolios and launched relevant innovation to address consumers’ changing needs. Our Rapid Continuous Improvement (RCI) capabilities continue to develop across the organization and are helping to drive top-line growth, and we still have a tremendous amount of runway ahead of us.”

Beverage Concentrates
Net sales for the quarter increased 2%, as concentrate price increases taken at the beginning of the year and lower discounts in the quarter were partially offset by a 2% decline in concentrate shipments. SOP increased 6% on net sales growth, a planned reduction in marketing investments and lower IT costs.

Packaged Beverages
Net sales for the quarter increased 5%, as a sales volume increase of 4% and favorable product mix were partially offset by increased promotional activity in the quarter. SOP increased 10% on net sales growth and ongoing productivity improvements.

Latin America Beverages
Net sales for the quarter increased 14%, driven primarily by a 13% increase in sales volumes. SOP increased 89% as net sales growth and ongoing productivity improvements were partially offset by increases in logistics costs and other operating expenses.

Corporate and Other Items
For the quarter, corporate costs totaled $71 million, including a $1 million unrealized commodity mark-to-market loss. Corporate costs in the prior year period were $57 million, including a $12 million unrealized commodity mark-to-market gain.

Net interest expense increased $2 million for the quarter compared to the prior year.

For the quarter, the reported effective tax rate was 35.7%. The prior year effective tax rate was 34.3%, as a $2 million deferred tax benefit due to a New York State law change decreased the effective tax rate by 0.9%.

Cash Flow
For the quarter, the company generated $101 million of cash from operating activities compared to $129 million in the prior year period. Capital spending totaled $20 million compared to $37 million in the prior year period.

2015 Full-Year Guidance
The company continues to expect full-year reported net sales to be up approximately 1% and core EPS to be in the $3.80 to $3.88 range after the impact of foreign currency, which is now expected to negatively impact net sales and core EPS growth by approximately 1% and 3%, respectively.

Packaging and ingredient costs are expected to decrease COGS by about 1% on a constant volume/mix basis.

The company expects its core tax rate to be approximately 35.5%.

The company continues to expect capital spending to be approximately 3% of net sales.

The company expects to repurchase $500 million to $550 million of its common stock.

Definitions
Bottler case sales (BCS) volume: Sales of finished beverages, in equivalent 288 fluid ounce cases, sold by the company and its bottling partners to retailers and independent distributors and excludes contract manufacturing volume. Volume for products sold by the company and its bottling partners is reported on a monthly basis, with the first quarter comprising January, February and March.

Sales volume: Sales of concentrates and finished beverages, in equivalent 288 fluid ounce cases, shipped by the company to its bottlers, retailers and independent distributors and includes contract manufacturing volume.

Pricing refers to the impact of list price changes.

Unrealized mark-to-market: We recognize the change in the fair value of open commodity derivative positions between periods in corporate unallocated expenses, as these instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. As the underlying commodity is delivered, the realized gains and losses are subsequently reflected in the segment results.

EPS represents diluted earnings per share.

Core financial measures are determined utilizing reported financial numbers adjusted for the unrealized mark-to-market impact of commodity derivatives and certain items that are excluded for comparison to prior year periods.
 
Core metrics are determined based on the core financial measures.

DR PEPPER SNAPPLE GROUP, INC.
RECONCILIATION OF GAAP AND NON-GAAP INFORMATION
(Unaudited)
The company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, management believes that certain non-GAAP measures that reflect the way management evaluates the business may provide investors with additional information regarding the company's results, trends and ongoing performance on a comparable basis. Specifically, investors should consider the following with respect to our quarterly results:
Net sales and Segment Operating Profit, as adjusted to currency neutral: Net sales and Segment Operating Profit are on a currency neutral basis.
Free Cash Flow: Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for capital spending and certain items excluded for comparison to prior year periods. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, there were no certain items excluded for comparison to prior year periods.
Core earnings: Core earnings is defined as net income adjusted for the unrealized mark-to-market impact of commodity derivatives and certain items that are excluded for comparison to prior year periods. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, there were no certain items excluded for comparison to prior year periods.
The tables on the following pages provide these reconciliations.
