First Quarter 2026 Review
CHARLOTTE, May 6, 2026 – Coca‑Cola Consolidated, Inc. (NASDAQ: COKE) today reported operating results for the first quarter ended April 3, 2026.
“We entered 2026 with strong momentum, positioning ourselves for another year of profitable growth,” said J. Frank Harrison, III, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our solid volume, revenue and market share gains across our portfolio reflect the strength of our brands and the diligent execution by our team. I remain optimistic about our future and the resilience of our business as we navigate an uncertain and volatile macroeconomic environment.”
Results for the first quarter of 2026 included six additional days compared to the first quarter of 2025. For comparison purposes, the estimated impact of the six additional days in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025 has been excluded from our adjusted(a) results. The Company estimates the impact of the six additional days to be as follows:
(in millions) Results of extra days in fiscal period
Volume 5.4
Net sales $132.0
Gross profit $55.0
SD&A expenses $25.0
Income from operations $30.0
Volume was up 13.4% in the first quarter of 2026, or 6.4% on an adjusted(a) basis. Our Sparkling category volume increased 12.2% in the first quarter of 2026, or 5.3% on an adjusted(a) basis. The strong Sparkling volume performance was driven by growth across the entire portfolio, led by our zero-sugar offerings. In addition, Coca-Cola Original Taste volume grew in the quarter. Still category volume increased 17.5% in the first quarter of 2026, or 10.2% on an adjusted(a) basis. Dasani casepack water accounted for a significant portion of the growth within our Still category. The remaining Still category volume growth was driven by strong performance across many brands, including Monster, Powerade, BODYARMOR and smartwater. In addition, volume in the first quarter of 2026 was also higher as compared to the first quarter of 2025 due to the timing of the Easter holiday, which we estimate impacted total volume by 0.5% to 1.0%.
Net sales increased 16.9% to $1.8 billion in the first quarter of 2026, or 8.5% on an adjusted(a) basis. The growth in net sales was primarily the result of strong volume performance and annual pricing actions executed during the first quarter of 2026, as well as a shift in the Easter holiday. Sparkling and Still net sales increased 16.7% and 18.9%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025. Sparkling and Still adjusted(a) net sales increased 8.6% and 10.6%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the
first quarter of 2025. The increase in Sparkling category net sales was driven primarily by sales of multi-pack, take-home aluminum can packages sold within our large store, club and value channels. Net sales of our single-serve Still products were especially strong in our Energy category for convenience and value store customers. Price/mix in the Still category was unfavorably impacted by the increased Dasani casepack volume, as well as slowing volume in the Protein category due to supply constraints.
Gross profit in the first quarter of 2026 was $727.1 million, an increase of $100.0 million, or 15.9%. On an adjusted(a) basis, gross profit increased $41.7 million, or 6.6%. Gross margin in the first quarter of 2026 decreased 30 basis points to 39.4%. Adjusted(a) gross margin in the first quarter of 2026 decreased 70 basis points to 39.1%. The reduction in gross margin resulted primarily from an increase in aluminum costs, which was caused by geopolitical conflicts, supply constraints and the impact of elevated import tariffs. This heightened volatility resulted in approximately $35 million in additional input costs compared to the first quarter of 2025, which outpaced our pricing actions executed during the first quarter.
“In the first quarter of 2026, we successfully navigated a period of increasing input costs that placed significant pressure on our gross margins,” said Dave Katz, President and Chief Operating Officer. “Despite these cost pressures, I am encouraged by the continued strong commercial performance across our entire portfolio. Our business continues to evolve and our team remains agile in driving profitable growth despite the cost and regulatory challenges our business faces. Our investment in our teammates is continuing to deliver results, which demonstrates what it means to have an engaged, high-performing team relentlessly pursuing excellence.”
Selling, delivery and administrative (“SD&A”) expenses in the first quarter of 2026 increased $52.3 million, or 12.0%. Approximately $25 million of the increase was related to the six additional days in the first quarter of 2026. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2026, we had a favorable, non-cash fair value adjustment to our fuel hedging positions of $10.0 million. On an adjusted(a) basis, SD&A expenses in the first quarter of 2026 increased $37.5 million, or 8.6%. SD&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 26.5% in the first quarter of 2026 from 27.7% in the first quarter of 2025. On an adjusted(a) basis, SD&A expenses as a percentage of net sales in the first quarter of 2026 were 27.7%, consistent with the first quarter of 2025. The increase in adjusted(a) SD&A expenses was primarily driven by an additional investment in the base wages of our front-line teammates, which became effective at the beginning of the third quarter of 2025. The remaining increase in adjusted(a) SD&A expenses was primarily driven by an increase in labor costs related to annual wage adjustments and higher medical benefits.
Income from operations in the first quarter of 2026 was $237.5 million, compared to $189.8 million in the first quarter of 2025, an increase of $47.7 million, or 25.1%. On an adjusted(a) basis, income from operations in the first quarter of 2026 was $194.6 million, an increase of $4.2 million, most of which was due to the timing of the Easter holiday. Operating margin for the first quarter of 2026 was 12.9% as compared to 12.0% for the first
quarter of 2025, an increase of 90 basis points. Adjusted(a) operating margin for the first quarter of 2026 was 11.4% as compared to 12.1% for the first quarter of 2025, a decrease of 70 basis points.
Net income in the first quarter of 2026 was $111.6 million, compared to $103.6 million in the first quarter of 2025, an increase of $7.9 million, or 7.7%. On an adjusted(a) basis, net income in the first quarter of 2026 was $119.5 million, compared to $136.3 million in the first quarter of 2025, a decrease of $16.8 million, or 12.3%. The six additional days in the first quarter of 2026 increased net income by approximately $23 million during the quarter.
Income tax expense in the first quarter of 2026 was $39.7 million, compared to $35.9 million in the first quarter of 2025, resulting in an effective income tax rate of approximately 26% for the first quarter of 2026.
Cash flows from operations for the first quarter of 2026 were $205.3 million, compared to $198.2 million for the first quarter of 2025. During the first quarter of 2026, we repaid $150.0 million of principal on one of our term loans. In fiscal year 2026, we expect capital expenditures to be approximately $300 million.
As noted above, the first quarter of 2026 included six extra days as compared to the first quarter of 2025. The fourth quarter of 2026 will include six fewer days as compared to the fourth quarter of 2025. The full fiscal years of 2026 and 2025 have the same number of days.
(a) The discussion of the operating results for the first quarter ended April 3, 2026 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.
(b) All comparisons are to the corresponding period in the prior year unless specified otherwise.

(d) 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.
