PLANO, Texas, Oct. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc. (NYSE: DPS) reported third quarter 2016 EPS of $1.29, including a $0.09 tax gain, compared to $1.05 in the prior year period. Core EPS were $1.17, up 8% compared to $1.08 in the prior year period. Year-to-date, the company reported earnings of $3.64 per diluted share compared to $3.00 per diluted share in the prior year period. Core EPS were $3.35, up 11% compared to $3.02 in the prior year period.

For the quarter, reported net sales of $1.68 billion increased 3% on favorable product and package mix, a 1% increase in sales volumes and higher pricing. Net sales growth was reduced in the quarter by 1 percentage point of unfavorable foreign currency translation. Reported segment operating profit (SOP) increased 3%, or $12 million, on net sales growth, lower logistics costs and ongoing productivity improvements, which were partially offset by a $16 million increase in planned marketing investments and increases in certain other operating expenses.

Reported income from operations for the quarter was $373 million, which included $9 million in unrealized commodity mark-to-market gains and a $5 million non-cash gain on the step-acquisition of our joint venture Aguafiel business in Mexico. Reported income from operations was $337 million in the prior year period, which included $9 million in unrealized commodity mark-to-market losses. Core income from operations for the quarter was $364 million, up 5%, and represented 21.7% of net sales compared to 21.3% in the prior year period.

Year-to-date, reported net sales of $4.86 billion increased 3%. Reported income from operations was $1.10 billion, including $41 million in unrealized commodity mark-to-market gains. Foreign currency translation negatively impacted reported net sales and reported income from operations by 1%. Reported income from operations in the prior year period was $976 million, which included $5 million in unrealized commodity mark-to-market losses. Core income from operations was $1.06 billion, up 8%, representing 21.7% of net sales compared to 20.8% in the prior year.

DPS President and CEO Larry Young said, "I'm proud of our teams for continuing to drive strong performance across our portfolio in a competitive and fragmented market."

Young continued, "We gained both dollar and volume share in our largest category, CSDs, in Nielsen measured markets, and our strategy of driving aligned communication and execution across our priority brands is driving positive results. Our allied brand partnerships are allowing us to compete in fast growing categories, and Rapid Continuous Improvement (RCI) continues to be the foundation on which the organization operates."

     sales

BCS Volume
For the quarter, BCS volume increased 2%, with carbonated soft drinks (CSDs) increasing 2% and non-carbonated beverages (NCBs) flat.

By geography, U.S. and Canada volume increased 1%, and Mexico and the Caribbean volume increased 4%.

In CSDs, Dr Pepper increased 1% driven by growth in both our fountain foodservice and bottle-can businesses. Our Core 4 brands increased 2%, as a mid-single-digit increase in Canada Dry and a low-single-digit increase in Sunkist were partially offset by low-single-digit decreases in A&W and 7UP. Squirt increased 7% in the quarter on strong growth in both the U.S. and Mexico, and Schweppes grew 9%. Crush grew 4%, and Peñafiel grew 1%. Fountain foodservice volume increased 2% in the quarter.

In NCBs, our water category grew 16% on strong growth in Bai brands, FIJI and Aguafiel. Clamato increased 5% in the quarter, and Snapple was flat. Hawaiian Punch decreased 6% primarily as a result of reduced promotional activity and higher pricing for our single-serve packages, and Mott's decreased 6% in the quarter, as growth in sauce was more than offset by decreases in juice.

Sales Volume
Sales volumes increased 1% in the quarter and year-to-date.

Beverage Concentrates
Net sales increased 5% in the quarter on concentrate price increases taken earlier in the year, favorable product mix and a 1% increase in concentrate shipments. SOP was flat, as net sales growth was offset by a $10 million increase in planned marketing investments.

Packaged Beverages
Net sales increased 4% in the quarter on favorable product and package mix, lower discounts driven by a favorable trade accrual adjustment and higher pricing. SOP increased 7% on net sales growth, lower logistics costs and ongoing productivity improvements. These increases were partially offset by a $6 million increase in planned marketing investments and increases in certain other operating expenses.

Latin America Beverages
Net sales increased 5% in the quarter on higher net pricing and a 4% increase in sales volume. SOP was 4% lower in the quarter, as the segment incurred $3 million of higher U.S. dollar denominated input costs, which caused a 13% decline in SOP. The aforementioned foreign currency transaction cost taken together with increases in certain other operating expenses collectively more than offset net sales growth and ongoing productivity improvements.

Corporate and Other Items
For the quarter, corporate costs totaled $64 million, which included $9 million in unrealized commodity mark-to-market gains. Corporate costs in the prior year period were $83 million, which included $9 million in unrealized commodity mark-to-market losses.

Other income increased $5 million in the quarter as a result of a non-cash gain on the step-acquisition of our joint venture Aguafiel business in Mexico.

Net interest expense increased $4 million in the quarter driven by higher debt balances and the refinancing of certain debt in the prior year.

For the quarter, the reported effective tax rate was 29.7%, which included a $17 million tax benefit associated with a legal entity restructuring. The effective tax rate in the prior year period was 34.4%.

Cash Flow
Year-to-date, the company generated $683 million of cash from operating activities compared to $723 million in the prior year period. Capital spending totaled $110 million compared to $71 million in the prior year period. The company returned $748 million to shareholders in the form of stock repurchases ($460 million) and dividends ($288 million).

2016 Full Year Guidance
The company continues to expect full year reported net sales to be up approximately 2% and now expects core EPS to be in the $4.32 to $4.40 range. Collectively, foreign currency translation and transaction are expected to continue to negatively impact net sales by approximately 1% and core EPS growth by approximately 3%.

The company continues to expect packaging and ingredient costs to decrease COGS by approximately 1% on a constant volume/mix basis.

The company now expects its core tax rate to be approximately 35%.

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

The company continues to expect to repurchase $650 million to $700 million of its common stock.

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 calculated on a currency neutral basis by converting our current-period local currency financial results using the prior-period foreign currency exchange rates.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, 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. The certain items excluded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, are (i) a gain on the extinguishment of a multi-employer withdrawal liability and (ii) an income tax benefit driven by a restructuring of the ownership of our Canadian business. The certain item excluded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, is an adjustment to a previously disclosed litigation provision.

The tables on the following pages provide these reconciliations.
