Economic profit = NOPAT – Cost of capital × Invested capital
= – × =
Over the five-year period examined, net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT) generally increased, with a slight dip in 2022. Invested capital exhibited a more moderate growth pattern, with an increase in 2023 and 2024. The cost of capital fluctuated, peaking in 2022 before declining slightly in subsequent years. Consequently, economic profit demonstrated an overall upward trend, though not consistently year-over-year.
- NOPAT Trend
- NOPAT increased from US$8,429 million in 2020 to US$10,978 million in 2024. The largest year-over-year increase occurred between 2020 and 2021 (US$1,200 million). A decrease was observed between 2021 and 2022 (US$265 million), followed by recovery and continued growth in 2023 and 2024.
- Cost of Capital Trend
- The cost of capital rose from 9.53% in 2020 to 10.31% in 2022, representing the highest value in the observed period. It then decreased to 9.98% in 2024, indicating a potential stabilization or reduction in the required rate of return.
- Invested Capital Trend
- Invested capital experienced a slight decrease from 2020 to 2022, moving from US$70,066 million to US$69,452 million. A more substantial increase occurred in 2023 (US$5,586 million) and continued into 2024 (US$1,636 million), suggesting increased investment in operations or acquisitions.
- Economic Profit Trend
- Economic profit increased from US$1,752 million in 2020 to US$3,322 million in 2024. The largest absolute increase occurred between 2023 and 2024 (US$899 million). While economic profit generally followed an upward trajectory, the decrease in NOPAT in 2022 resulted in a corresponding decrease in economic profit for that year, despite the rising cost of capital.
The increasing economic profit suggests that the company is generating returns exceeding its cost of capital, and is becoming increasingly efficient at deploying capital. The growth in both NOPAT and invested capital, coupled with a stabilizing cost of capital, contributes to this positive trend.

The annual financial data presents a general upward trend in key profitability metrics over the five-year period analyzed.
- Net Income Attributable to PepsiCo
- This metric shows a consistent increase throughout the period. Starting at 7,120 million US dollars in 2020, it rises to 7,618 million in 2021 and then experiences a notable jump to 8,910 million in 2022. This growth continues more moderately through 2023 and 2024, reaching 9,074 million and 9,578 million respectively. The trend suggests steady improvements in the company’s ability to generate profits attributable to shareholders.
- Net Operating Profit After Taxes (NOPAT)
- The NOPAT figures also demonstrate an overall growth trend but with a slight fluctuation in 2022. The measure increases from 8,429 million US dollars in 2020 to 9,629 million in 2021, reflecting enhanced operational efficiency or profitability. However, there is a decrease to 9,364 million in 2022, indicating a possible operational challenge or increased costs during that year. Despite this dip, NOPAT recovers and grows to 10,029 million in 2023 and further to 10,978 million in 2024, suggesting a strong rebound and continued operational success.
Overall, the data exhibits positive financial performance with increasing profitability over the studied years. While net income shows steady growth without decline, NOPAT reveals a minor fluctuation but recovers, highlighting the company’s resilience and operational strength.

- Provision for income taxes
- The provision for income taxes exhibited some variability over the five-year period. It increased from 1894 million US dollars in 2020 to a peak of 2142 million in 2021. The figure then declined to 1727 million in 2022, before rising again to 2262 million in 2023 and slightly increasing further to 2320 million in 2024. This fluctuation suggests changes in taxable income or adjustments in tax planning strategies over the years.
- Cash operating taxes
- Cash operating taxes demonstrated a consistent upward trend throughout the period. Starting at 2034 million US dollars in 2020, the outflow grew steadily each year, reaching 2131 million in 2021, 2660 million in 2022, 2970 million in 2023, and 3060 million in 2024. This continuous increase may reflect rising operational profitability, changes in tax regulations, or growing business activities impacting cash tax payments.
- Comparative insights
- While both provision for income taxes and cash operating taxes increased overall, cash operating taxes showed a more pronounced and consistent upward trajectory. The divergence seen particularly in 2022, where provision decreased but cash taxes increased significantly, could indicate timing differences between tax provision accruals and actual tax payments or variations in non-cash tax components. The steady rise in cash taxes suggests increasing cash tax obligations that might impact the company’s liquidity needs.

- Total reported debt & leases
- The total reported debt and lease obligations showed a downward trend from 45,843 million USD in 2020 to 41,487 million USD in 2022, indicating a reduction in overall leverage during this period. However, starting in 2023, the debt level increased significantly to 47,061 million USD and continued to rise slightly to 47,751 million USD in 2024, suggesting a shift toward higher leverage or increased financing activity in recent years.
- Total PepsiCo common shareholders’ equity
- Shareholders’ equity exhibited steady growth from 13,454 million USD in 2020 up to a peak of 18,503 million USD in 2023, reflecting accumulation of retained earnings or capital injections over time. In 2024, equity slightly declined to 18,041 million USD, indicating a minor reduction in net assets attributable to common shareholders.
- Invested capital
- Invested capital remained relatively stable around the high 69,000 million USD range between 2020 and 2022, with values of 70,066 million USD in 2020 and 69,452 million USD in 2022. From 2023 onward, it increased noticeably to 75,038 million USD in 2023 and further to 76,674 million USD in 2024, signaling an expansion in the capital deployed in the business or acquisitions of additional assets.
- Summary
- Overall, the financial data reveals a period of debt reduction followed by increased borrowing after 2022. The rise in shareholders’ equity from 2020 through 2023 reflects strengthening capital base, though a slight dip in 2024 could merit attention. The invested capital trend aligns with the recent increase in debt, highlighting possible growth strategies or capital intensive initiatives pursued post-2022.

The economic spread ratio demonstrates an overall positive trend across the observed period. While fluctuations exist, the metric generally indicates increasing value creation relative to invested capital. Economic profit also exhibits a generally positive trajectory, contributing to the observed trend in the economic spread ratio.
- Economic Spread Ratio
- The economic spread ratio began at 2.50% in 2020 and increased to 3.76% in 2021, representing a substantial improvement. A slight decrease to 3.17% occurred in 2022, followed by a modest increase to 3.23% in 2023. The most significant increase was observed between 2023 and 2024, with the ratio reaching 4.33%. This suggests an improving ability to generate returns exceeding the cost of capital.
- Economic Profit
- Economic profit increased from US$1,752 million in 2020 to US$2,623 million in 2021. A decrease to US$2,201 million was noted in 2022, before recovering to US$2,421 million in 2023. The final year observed, 2024, showed the highest economic profit at US$3,322 million. This growth in economic profit directly supports the increasing economic spread ratio.
- Invested Capital
- Invested capital experienced a slight decrease from US$70,066 million in 2020 to US$69,452 million in 2022. However, it then increased to US$75,038 million in 2023 and further to US$76,674 million in 2024. The increase in invested capital in the later years, coupled with the larger increases in economic profit, contributed to the higher economic spread ratio observed in 2024.
The consistent growth in economic profit, alongside the increasing economic spread ratio, indicates a strengthening financial performance and efficient capital allocation. The observed fluctuations do not appear to disrupt the overall positive trend.

The economic profit exhibited a generally positive trajectory over the five-year period. While fluctuations occurred, the company demonstrated an increasing ability to generate profit exceeding its cost of capital. This is reflected in the economic profit margin, which also showed an overall upward trend, albeit with some intermediate variability.
- Economic Profit
- Economic profit increased from US$1,752 million in 2020 to US$2,623 million in 2021, representing a substantial gain. A subsequent decrease to US$2,201 million was observed in 2022. The figure recovered to US$2,421 million in 2023 and continued to rise significantly to US$3,322 million in 2024, marking the highest value within the observed timeframe.
- Net Revenue
- Net revenue consistently increased throughout the period, moving from US$70,372 million in 2020 to US$91,854 million in 2024. The rate of revenue growth appeared to moderate between 2023 and 2024, with a smaller increase compared to prior years.
- Economic Profit Margin
- The economic profit margin began at 2.49% in 2020 and rose to 3.30% in 2021, aligning with the increase in economic profit. A decline to 2.55% occurred in 2022, followed by a modest increase to 2.65% in 2023. The most significant improvement was seen in 2024, with the margin reaching 3.62%, indicating a greater proportion of economic profit generated per dollar of net revenue. The margin’s increase in 2024 suggests improved efficiency in converting revenue into economic profit.
The correlation between increasing net revenue and economic profit suggests effective revenue generation strategies. The expansion of the economic profit margin, particularly in the most recent year, indicates that the company is not only growing revenue but also improving its operational efficiency and capital allocation to generate greater economic value.
