Coca-Cola Consolidated has entered into a new term loan agreement totaling up to 1.35 billion dollars, comprising a three-year 900 million dollar facility maturing in 2028 and a five-year 450 million dollar facility maturing in 2030. The company borrowed the full amount on December 8, 2025, using the proceeds to refinance a 1.2 billion dollar bridge loan arranged in November and to support general corporate purposes, which may include share buybacks, dividends, capital spending and working capital.

The loans are senior unsecured and carry interest based on either Term SOFR or a base rate, with margins tied to the company’s long-term credit rating. The agreement includes customary covenants and financial ratios, including limits on indebtedness and requirements to maintain minimum cash flow coverage. Lenders may accelerate repayment if events of default occur, including covenant breaches, major litigation judgments, or change of control.
Coca-Cola Consolidated, Inc. (COKE) buys back TCCC stake for $2.4B; adds $1.2B bridge loan, unwinds legacy pact

Coca-Cola Consolidated said it repurchased all of Carolina Coca-Cola Bottling Investments’ shares (an indirect The Coca-Cola Company unit) for about $2.4 billion cash, closing November 7, 2025. The buyback terminates the long-standing Stock Rights and Restrictions Agreement with TCCC and prompted the resignation of TCCC designee Elaine Bowers Coventry from the board.

To fund the deal, the company drew a new 364-day, senior unsecured $1.2 billion bridge term loan from Wells Fargo (Term SOFR + 1.00% at current rating), with voluntary prepay and mandatory prepay upon certain debt/equity issuances or significant asset distributions. Coca-Cola Consolidated also amended its revolving credit facility and two private shelf agreements (MetLife, NYL) to ensure the repurchase doesn’t trigger change-of-control defaults. Financial covenants on the bridge include minimum consolidated cash flow/fixed charges of ≥1.5x and maximum consolidated funded indebtedness/cash flow of ≤6.0x.
Coca-Cola reported third-quarter 2025 revenue of $12.5 billion, up 5% year over year, with organic revenue growth of 6% driven by strong price/mix gains. Global unit case volume rose 1%, led by continued strength in key emerging markets.

Operating income jumped 59%, supported by efficiency initiatives and cost management, while comparable operating income grew 15% on a currency-neutral basis. The operating margin expanded to 32.0% from 21.2%, and comparable operating margin rose to 31.9%. Earnings per share increased 30% to $0.86, and comparable EPS climbed 6% to $0.82, despite currency headwinds.

CEO James Quincey said Coca-Cola’s broad beverage portfolio and flexible execution are strengthening its market leadership. The company gained value share in total nonalcoholic ready-to-drink beverages.

Key updates included the sale of a controlling interest in Coca-Cola Beverages Africa to Coca-Cola HBC, advancing the company’s refranchising strategy, and the sale of a 40% stake in Hindustan Coca-Cola Holdings to Jubilant Bhartia Group. Coca-Cola also reported strong growth in its ready-to-drink tea, sports, and value-added dairy segments, with Fuze Tea and fairlife among the standout performers.
The Coca-Cola Company today announced it will release third quarter 2025 financial results Oct. 21 before the New York Stock Exchange opens. The release will be followed by an investor conference call at 8:30 a.m. ET to discuss the results.
Coca-Cola Consolidated Reports Q2 and H1 2025 Results

Coca-Cola Consolidated (NASDAQ: COKE) delivered solid second-quarter performance amid a value-focused retail environment, posting a 3.3% YoY increase in Q2 net sales to $1.86 billion and a 5% rise in operating income to $272.1 million. Gross profit for the quarter rose 3.6% to $742.5 million, with gross margin slightly improving to 40.0%.
Volume declined 0.8% in Q2, with Coca-Cola Original Taste seeing ongoing softness, while zero-sugar and flavored variants performed well. Still category volume fell 2.4%, driven by declines in Dasani, although enhanced water and energy/protein drinks showed growth.
For H1 2025, net sales grew 1.4% to $3.44 billion, but operating income declined 2.7% to $461.9 million due to two fewer selling days and higher labor costs. Net income fell 14% YoY to $291 million, partly due to fair value adjustments related to contingent liabilities. On an adjusted basis, net income was down 6.7% to $331.4 million.

Cash flow from operations reached $406.2 million for the first half, down from $437.1 million in 2024. The company invested $157 million in capital expenditures so far in 2025, with full-year spending expected to reach $300 million.

Coca-Cola Q2 2025 Results: EPS Up 58%, Updates Full-Year Guidance Amid Volume Dip

The Coca-Cola Company reported mixed second-quarter 2025 results, with earnings surging despite a slight decline in global unit case volume. EPS rose 58% to $0.88, while comparable EPS (non-GAAP) increased 4% to $0.87. Revenues grew 1% to $12.5 billion, with organic revenue up 5% driven by a 6% rise in price/mix.

Operating income jumped 63%, lifting the operating margin to 34.1% (up from 21.3%). On a comparable currency-neutral basis, operating income rose 15%. Despite strong profitability, operating cash flow turned negative ($1.4 billion), primarily due to a $6.1 billion contingent payment related to the fairlife acquisition. Free cash flow excluding this payment stood at $3.9 billion.

Marketing campaigns like “Share a Coke” and “This is My Taste” boosted single-serve and Diet Coke volumes, respectively, while Coca-Cola Zero Sugar posted its fourth straight quarter of double-digit volume growth. The company also emphasized its revenue growth management strategy, citing strong results in juice and sparkling drinks via affordable, segmented offerings.

Coca-Cola confirmed confidence in its full-year outlook, citing strong brand engagement and end-to-end pricing and packaging strategies amid macroeconomic challenges.
The Coca-Cola Company today announced it will release second quarter 2025 financial results July 22 before the New York Stock Exchange opens. The release will be followed by an investor conference call at 8:30 a.m. ET to discuss the results.
