Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2025 Review
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Feb. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Coca‑Cola Consolidated, Inc. (NASDAQ: COKE) today reported operating results for the fourth quarter and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
“2025 was another successful year of performance for our Company, delivering the highest level of revenue, gross profit and operating income in our Company’s history,” said J. Frank Harrison, III, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “I’m especially proud of our teammates operating as One Team to drive superior execution in the marketplace. The strong results we are achieving affirm our decision to make an incremental investment this year in our front-line teammates.”
Volume was up 4.6% in the fourth quarter of 2025 and up 0.3% in fiscal year 2025. The fourth quarter of 2025 had one additional selling day compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, which accounted for approximately 1.1% of the increase in volume. Our Sparkling category volume increased by 3.5% in the fourth quarter of 2025. The strong Sparkling volume performance continued to be driven by growth within zero-sugar and flavor offerings, with improved demand for Coca-Cola Original Taste. Still category volume increased 8.7% in the fourth quarter of 2025 as a result of strong performance across many brands. Monster, Dasani, Powerade, BODYARMOR, Topo Chico and Core Power all achieved volume growth in the fourth quarter of 2025, reflecting strength across our entire portfolio of brands. For fiscal year 2025, there was one fewer selling day compared to fiscal year 2024, which negatively impacted the annual volume comparison by approximately 0.3%. For fiscal year 2025, Sparkling volume was flat while Still volume increased 1.0%.
Net sales increased 9.0% to $1.9 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025 and increased 4.8% to $7.2 billion in fiscal year 2025. The additional selling day in the fourth quarter of 2025 accounted for approximately $20 million of the sales growth during the quarter, or 1.1%. The growth in net sales was primarily the result of annual pricing actions and strong volume performance during the fourth quarter of 2025. Sparkling and Still net sales increased 6.4% and 10.0% in the fourth quarter of 2025, respectively, compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. For fiscal year 2025, Sparkling and Still net sales increased 3.5% and 6.1%, respectively. The increase in Sparkling category net sales was driven primarily by sales of multi-pack, take-home packages sold within our large store, club and value channels. The increase in Still category net sales was driven primarily by the solid performance across our Still portfolio sold within large retail and convenience stores.
Gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $754.2 million, an increase of $56.4 million, or 8.1%. Gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2025 decreased 40 basis points to 39.6%. The reduction in gross margin resulted primarily from an increase in aluminum costs, which included the impact of elevated import tariffs. This reduction in gross margin was partially offset by efficiencies in our supply chain and go-to-market strategies. Gross profit in fiscal year 2025 was $2.9 billion, an increase of $119.2 million, or 4.3%.
“Our operating performance in 2025 and the momentum we built in the back half of the year demonstrates the strength of our portfolio and the dedication of our teammates,” said Dave Katz, President and Chief Operating Officer. “The operating environment continues to be dynamic with multiple regulatory and cost challenges, but our strong partnership with The Coca-Cola Company, the strength of our brand portfolio and the high-performing team we have in place gives me optimism about 2026. We are excited about our plans to celebrate America250TM and the FIFA World Cup in 2026 and the value both of these partnerships will drive for our business.”
Selling, delivery and administrative (“SD&A”) expenses in the fourth quarter of 2025 increased $33.0 million, or 6.9%. The increase in SD&A expenses in the fourth quarter of 2025 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 was primarily driven by the cost of labor, which includes annual wage adjustments made earlier this year and an additional investment in the base wages of our front-line teammates, which became effective at the beginning of the third quarter of 2025. SD&A expenses as a percentage of net sales in the fourth quarter of 2025 decreased 50 basis points to 26.9% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. SD&A expenses in fiscal year 2025 increased $88.9 million, or 4.8%. SD&A expenses as a percentage of net sales in fiscal year 2025 remained stable at 26.6% as compared to fiscal year 2024.
Income from operations in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $242.1 million, compared to $218.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, an increase of 10.7%. The additional selling day in the fourth quarter of 2025 accounted for approximately $5 million of the growth in income from operations during the quarter, or 2.3%. Operating margin for the fourth quarter of 2025 was 12.7% as compared to 12.5% for the fourth quarter of 2024, an increase of 20 basis points. For fiscal year 2025, income from operations improved $30.3 million to $950.7 million, an increase of 3.3%. The one fewer selling day in fiscal year 2025 accounted for an approximately $5 million decrease in income from operations.
Net income in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $137.3 million, compared to $178.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, a decline of $41.7 million, or 23.3%. On an adjusted(b) basis, net income in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $157.8 million, compared to $156.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, an increase of $1.2 million, or 0.7%. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2024 benefited from routine, non-cash fair value adjustments to our acquisition related contingent consideration liability, driven primarily by an increase to the discount rate used to compute the fair value of the liability during that period.
Net income in fiscal year 2025 was $570.6 million, compared to $633.1 million in fiscal year 2024, a decline of $62.5 million, or 9.9%. On an adjusted(b) basis, net income in fiscal year 2025 was $668.5 million, compared to $678.6 million in fiscal year 2024, a decrease of $10.1 million, or 1.5%. As compared to fiscal year 2024, net income for fiscal year 2025 was more adversely impacted by routine, non-cash fair value adjustments to our acquisition related contingent consideration liability, primarily driven by changes in the discount rate and future cash flow projections used to compute the fair value of the liability, and by increased interest expense. Income tax expense for fiscal year 2025 was $202.3 million, compared to $223.5 million for fiscal year 2024, resulting in an effective income tax rate of approximately 26% for both periods.
Cash flows from operations for fiscal year 2025 were $931.9 million, compared to $876.4 million for fiscal year 2024. In fiscal year 2025, we invested approximately $312 million in capital expenditures as we continue to optimize our supply chain and invest for future growth. In fiscal year 2026, we expect capital expenditures to be approximately $300 million. In the fourth quarter of 2025, we repurchased all of the remaining shares of our common stock previously owned by The Coca-Cola Company for approximately $2.4 billion. In fiscal year 2025, we returned approximately $2.7 billion to stockholders through share repurchases and dividends.
Note on 2026 fiscal calendar: The first quarter of 2026 will include 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.

| (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. |
