PepsiCo reports ‘high single-digit’ volume growth in Indian beverage market in Jan-Mar

The growth reflects an “organic volume growth and effective net pricing” and a partial offset of the impact of unfavourable foreign exchange, the company said

New Delhi: PepsiCo on Tuesday reported a “high single-digit growth” in its beverage unit volume in the Indian market during the first quarter of 2024.

The company’s convenient food business reported a “double-digit growth” in the country during the period, according to a global earnings statement from the food and beverages major.

PepsiCo’s net revenue in the Africa, Middle East, and South Asia (AMESA) division, which covers the Indian market, went up by 2% to $1.04 billion.

The growth reflects an “organic volume growth and effective net pricing” and a partial offset of the impact of unfavourable foreign exchange, the company said.

In AMESA, PepsiCo’s “beverage unit volume grew 2% , primarily reflecting mid-single-digit growth in the Middle East and high single-digit growth in India”.

Its convenient food unit volume grew 4.5% , “primarily reflecting high-single-digit growth in South Africa, double-digit growth in India”, and offset by a double-digit decline in the Middle East.

However, PepsiCo’s operating profit in AMESA declined 10% in the first quarter on account of “certain operating cost increases”. This includes a 17 percentage-point impact of higher commodity costs, primarily packaging materials, sweeteners and potatoes, and a 7-percentage-point impact of adjustments related to the sale of a non-strategic brand last year.

It has also gained savory snack share in China and India year-to-date, the company said.

Net revenue of PepsiCo, which owns popular brands such as Lay’s, Doritos, Cheetos, Gatorade, Pepsi-Cola, Mountain Dew and Quaker, in the first quarter was up 2.26%  to $ 18.25 billion.

The growth was led by PepsiCo’s international business, which delivered “notable volume improvements versus the previous quarter, as well as strong organic revenue growth and core operating profit growth”, said the New York-headquartered multinational.

Chairman and CEO Ramon Laguarta said, “During the first quarter, our businesses remained agile and performed well, with a strong performance from our international business. We delivered a sequential improvement in our volume trends, and year-over-year growth in our net revenue, operating profit margin and EPS, despite the impact of certain product recalls at Quaker Foods North America and a difficult net revenue growth comparison from the prior year.”

Over the outlook, PepsiCo said it has been consistent with its earlier guidance for 2024 and expects “at least 4% increase in organic revenue”.

Eagle Labs launches impirica CBD brand

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Eagle Labs has launched impirica, a new brand of CBD intended to eliminate consumer fear, and increase confidence, in trying the exciting new cannabidiol category. Michael Law Although most Americans have now heard about CBD, many are very confused and concerned about product quality. This is inhibiting trial in the category and holding back conversion into sales. In fact, a 2017 study by Johns Hopkins University found that two out of three CBD products on the shelf did not contain the amount of CBD reflected on the label. Furthermore, in 2018 and 2019, the FDA sent notices to a substantial number of CBD manufacturers advising them of serious concerns about product quality or egregious medical claims. The impirica brand looks different than most CBD brands — the brand name itself connotes testing and trust, says Eagle Labs chief commercial officer Michael Law. “It doesn’t use the traditional category colors of browns and greens, and you won’t find a hemp...

Ankit Chona, Founder and Managing Director of HOCCO, delves into the company’s revenue model, growth strategies, and vision for the future… Bengaluru: HOCCO (House of Chonas Collaborative) , the Ahmedabad-based ice cream and quick-service restaurant (QSR) chain, boasts a rich legacy spanning over 70 years, with roots tracing back to pre-independence India.
