PepsiCo reports mixed Q2 results as North America weakness offsets international demand
PepsiCo posts mixed second-quarter results as weaker performance in its North American food and beverage businesses counters solid demand in international markets. The company says tighter consumer budgets in the U.S., linked to rising inflationary pressure, temper the quarter despite sales growth and higher net income.
Highlights
- PepsiCo reports Q2 net income of $2.98 billion ($2.18 per share), up from $1.26 billion ($0.92 per share) a year earlier.
- Net sales increase 6.4% to $24.18 billion, with organic revenue up 2.4%, supported by robust international demand amid weaker North American performance.
- CEO Ramon Laguarta cites moderating U.S. food and beverage trends as consumer budgets tighten due to rising inflationary pressures.
Quarterly performance and management outlook
As reported by CNBC, PepsiCo says struggles in its North American food and beverage divisions offset strong international demand in the second quarter. Chief Executive Ramon Laguarta says in prepared remarks shared on the company’s website on Thursday that U.S. food and beverage category performance moderates as consumer budgets tighten because of rising inflationary pressures.PepsiCo reports second-quarter net income attributable to the company of $2.98 billion, or $2.18 per share, compared with $1.26 billion, or 92 cents per share, a year earlier. Excluding restructuring and impairment charges and other items, the company earns $2.20 per share.
Sales growth tempered by U.S. consumer pressure
Net sales rise 6.4% to $24.18 billion, while organic revenue, which excludes acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency effects, increases 2.4% in the quarter. The results indicate that international demand continues to support overall performance even as conditions in the U.S. market remain more challenging.The quarter highlights pressure on major consumer goods groups as inflation affects household spending patterns in the U.S. For PepsiCo, that moderation in domestic category performance limits the benefit of stronger demand outside North America.
Our earlier coverage of Andy Burnham’s economic blueprint outlined plans aimed at easing household costs—especially energy bills and transport—while supporting high-street firms and SMEs through measures such as potential business-rate and national-insurance relief. It also described a platform that pairs fiscal restraint with proposals for more public control in key sectors and a stronger push on regional growth and housebuilding.
