- Net Operating Profit After Taxes (NOPAT)
- The net operating profit after taxes has generally demonstrated an upward trend over the observed periods. Starting at 8,429 million USD in late 2020, it increased to 9,629 million USD in 2021. Although there was a slight dip to 9,364 million USD in 2022, it recovered in subsequent years, reaching 10,978 million USD by the end of 2024. This indicates steady growth in profitability after accounting for taxes.
- Cost of Capital
- The cost of capital shows a moderate increase from 8.43% in 2020 to a peak of 9.10% in 2022. Following this, there is a gradual decline, ending at 8.83% in 2024. This fluctuation suggests some variability in financing costs or risk premiums, but by the final period, the cost of capital has decreased closer to the initial level.
- Invested Capital
- Invested capital has remained relatively stable around the 69,000 to 75,000 million USD range. There is a slight decline from 70,066 million USD in 2020 to around 69,452 million USD in 2022, followed by a notable increase to 76,674 million USD by the end of 2024. This suggests increased asset investment or capital deployment in the most recent years.
- Economic Profit
- Economic profit, calculated as the difference between NOPAT and the cost of capital applied to invested capital, shows a positive and generally increasing trend. Starting at 2,522 million USD in 2020, it rises to 3,445 million USD in 2021, then decreases slightly in 2022 to 3,044 million USD. Afterwards, economic profit increases to 4,205 million USD by 2024. This improvement indicates growing value creation beyond the firm's cost of capital, reflecting enhanced operational efficiency and capital utilization.
- Summary
- Overall, the data illustrate a company with improving profitability and economic value creation over the five-year period. Despite minor fluctuations, net operating profit and economic profit show a clear upward trajectory. The cost of capital's variation is relatively moderate, and invested capital increases, particularly towards the end of the period, suggesting strategic capital investment. The combined trends reflect positive financial performance and effective capital management.

- 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.

- Economic Profit
- The economic profit demonstrated a generally positive trend over the analyzed period. Starting at 2,522 million US dollars in 2020, it increased significantly to 3,445 million in 2021. There was a slight decline in 2022 to 3,044 million, followed by a recovery in 2023 with 3,306 million, and a notable rise to 4,205 million by 2024. This indicates an overall improvement in the company's economic profitability, with a small dip in the middle of the period.
- Net Revenue
- Net revenue showed a consistent upward trajectory over the five-year span. Beginning at 70,372 million US dollars in 2020, revenue increased each year, reaching 79,474 million in 2021, 86,392 million in 2022, and 91,471 million in 2023. The growth rate slowed noticeably between 2023 and 2024, with revenue rising marginally to 91,854 million. The steady growth until 2023 followed by a plateau suggests potential market saturation or challenges in expanding sales further.

It rose from 3.58% in 2020 to a peak of 4.34% in 2021, sharply dropped to 3.52% in 2022, and then slightly recovered to 3.61% in 2023. In 2024, the margin increased significantly to 4.58%, the highest level recorded in the period. This pattern reflects variations in the efficiency with which the company converted revenue into economic profit, with notable improvement in the final year.
