4 2024 Calculation
Economic profit = NOPAT – Cost of capital × Invested capital
= – × =
Over the five-year period examined, net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT) generally increased, although with some fluctuation. Cost of capital exhibited a slight increasing trend initially, peaking in 2022, before declining in the subsequent two years. Invested capital demonstrated a consistent upward trajectory throughout the period. Consequently, economic profit, representing the value created above the cost of capital, showed an overall positive trend with notable year-over-year variations.
- NOPAT Trend
- NOPAT increased from US$8,429 million in 2020 to US$9,629 million in 2021, representing a substantial gain. A slight decrease was observed in 2022, falling to US$9,364 million, before recovering to US$10,029 million in 2023. The most significant increase occurred between 2023 and 2024, with NOPAT reaching US$10,978 million. This indicates improving operational profitability over the period, despite the temporary dip in 2022.
- Cost of Capital Fluctuation
- The cost of capital rose from 8.58% in 2020 to 9.01% in 2021 and continued to 9.26% in 2022. This suggests increasing financing costs or perceived risk during those years. However, the cost of capital decreased to 9.12% in 2023 and further to 8.99% in 2024, potentially reflecting improved market conditions or a reduced risk profile.
- Invested Capital Growth
- Invested capital consistently increased throughout the period, starting at US$70,066 million in 2020 and reaching US$76,674 million in 2024. This indicates ongoing investment in the business, potentially supporting future growth and profitability. The increase from 2022 to 2023 was particularly notable, jumping from US$69,452 million to US$75,038 million.
- Economic Profit Performance
- Economic profit followed an upward trend overall, beginning at US$2,419 million in 2020. It peaked at US$3,335 million in 2021, decreased to US$2,932 million in 2022, and then rose to US$3,188 million in 2023. The largest economic profit value was recorded in 2024, reaching US$4,087 million. This demonstrates the company’s ability to generate returns exceeding its cost of capital, and the increasing trend suggests improving value creation.
The combination of increasing NOPAT and invested capital, coupled with a stabilizing cost of capital, contributed to the overall positive trend in economic profit. The year 2024 represents the strongest performance in terms of value creation based on these metrics.

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 period under review demonstrates a generally positive trajectory in economic performance. Economic profit exhibited fluctuation but ultimately increased over the five-year span, while invested capital showed a moderate upward trend. The economic spread ratio, a key indicator of value creation, generally improved, suggesting increasing efficiency in capital allocation.
- Economic Profit
- Economic profit began at US$2,419 million in 2020 and rose to US$3,335 million in 2021, representing a substantial increase. A subsequent decline to US$2,932 million occurred in 2022, followed by a modest recovery to US$3,188 million in 2023. The most significant increase was observed between 2023 and 2024, with economic profit reaching US$4,087 million. This indicates a strengthening ability to generate returns exceeding the cost of capital, particularly in the most recent year.
- 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. This suggests a period of capital efficiency followed by strategic reinvestment or expansion. The growth in invested capital in the later years aligns with the increased economic profit, indicating that new investments are contributing to value creation.
- Economic Spread Ratio
- The economic spread ratio, expressed as a percentage, increased from 3.45% in 2020 to 4.78% in 2021, demonstrating improved profitability relative to invested capital. A slight decrease to 4.22% was noted in 2022, followed by relative stability at 4.25% in 2023. The ratio experienced its highest value in 2024, reaching 5.33%. This upward trend suggests an increasing ability to generate returns above the cost of capital, indicating enhanced value creation efficiency. The 2024 value represents the most substantial spread observed during the analyzed period.
Overall, the observed trends suggest a company that is becoming increasingly effective at deploying capital to generate economic profit. The rising economic spread ratio is a positive indicator of improved financial performance and value creation.

The economic profit exhibited an overall positive trend across the observed period. While fluctuations occurred, the company demonstrated increasing ability to generate wealth exceeding its cost of capital. Net revenue consistently increased year-over-year, though the rate of growth varied.
- Economic Profit
- Economic profit increased from US$2,419 million in 2020 to US$4,087 million in 2024. A notable increase occurred between 2020 and 2021, followed by a slight decrease in 2022. Growth resumed in 2023 and continued at a higher rate into 2024, indicating improving profitability relative to capital employed.
- Net Revenue
- Net revenue grew steadily from US$70,372 million in 2020 to US$91,854 million in 2024. The largest year-over-year increase in net revenue was observed between 2021 and 2022. The rate of revenue growth slowed between 2022 and 2023, and again between 2023 and 2024, though revenue still increased in absolute terms.
- Economic Profit Margin
- The economic profit margin generally increased over the period, moving from 3.44% in 2020 to 4.45% in 2024. The margin peaked at 4.20% in 2021, experienced a slight decline in 2022, and then demonstrated consistent improvement through 2024. This suggests that the company is becoming more efficient at converting revenue into economic profit, or that its cost of capital is decreasing relative to its profitability.
The increasing economic profit margin, coupled with rising economic profit and net revenue, suggests a strengthening financial performance. The slight dip in both economic profit and margin in 2022 warrants further investigation, but the subsequent recovery and continued growth in 2023 and 2024 indicate a positive trajectory.
