Forward guidance

PepsiCo expects a low-single-digit increase in organic revenue and continues to expect at least 8 percent core constant currency EPS growth.

Tailwinds

  • At least 8 percent increase in core constant currency EPS
  • A core annual effective tax rate of 20 percent
  • Total cash returns to shareholders of approximately $8.2 billion, comprised of dividends of $7.2 billion and share repurchases of $1.0 billion
  • An approximate 1-percentage-point foreign exchange translation headwind to impact reported net revenue and core EPS growth based on current market consensus rates
  • This assumption and the guidance above imply 2024 core EPS of at least $8.15, a 7 percent increase compared to 2023 core EPS of $7.62
