NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. Critical Accounting Policies The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts and the consolidated operations of Coca‑Cola Consolidated, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal, recurring accruals, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. Each of the Company’s quarters, other than the fourth quarter, ends on the Friday closest to the last day of the corresponding quarterly calendar period. The Company’s fourth quarter and fiscal year end on December 31 regardless of the day of the week on which December 31 falls. The condensed consolidated financial statements presented are: • The financial position as of September 26, 2025 and December 31, 2024. • The results of operations, comprehensive income and changes in stockholders’ equity for the three-month periods ended September 26, 2025 (the “third quarter” of fiscal 2025 (“2025”)) and September 27, 2024 (the “third quarter” of fiscal 2024 (“2024”)) and the nine-month periods ended September 26, 2025 (the “first nine months” of 2025) and September 27, 2024 (the “first nine months” of 2024). • The changes in cash flows for the first nine months of 2025 and the first nine months of 2024. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The accounting policies followed in the presentation of interim financial results are consistent with those followed on an annual basis. These policies are presented in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2024 filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Treasury Stock Retirement In the third quarter of 2025, the Company retired 31,488,535 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $ 1.00 per share (“Common Stock”), and 6,281,140 shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock, par value $ 1.00 per share (“Class B Common Stock”), included in treasury stock. The retired treasury stock had a carrying value of approximately $ 162.6 million. The retirement of treasury stock was recorded as a reduction to Common Stock and Class B Common Stock at par value, with the excess of carrying value over par value recorded as a deduction from retained earnings. Stock Split On March 4, 2025, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved a 10 -for-1 forward stock split (the “Stock Split”) of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. The Stock Split was effected through an amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”). The Amendment also effected a proportionate increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. The Amendment obtained stockholder approval at the Company’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which took place on May 13, 2025. Each stockholder of record as of the close of business on May 16, 2025 received nine additional shares for each share of Common Stock or Class B Common Stock held as of such date reflected in the stockholder’s account on May 23, 2025. Trading began on a split-adjusted basis on May 27, 2025. The par value per share of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock remains unchanged. Accordingly, an amount equal to the par value of the additional shares issued in the Stock Split was reclassified from additional paid-in capital to Common Stock and Class B Common Stock in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. All references made to share or per share amounts in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and applicable disclosures have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effects of the Stock Split. 6 Critical Accounting Estimates In the ordinary course of business, the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of its results of operations and financial position in the preparation of its condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. The Company included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2024 under the caption “Discussion of Critical Accounting Estimates” in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” a discussion of the Company’s most critical accounting estimates, which are those the Company believes to be the most important to the portrayal of its financial condition and results of operations and that require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Any changes in critical accounting estimates are discussed with the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors during the quarter in which a change is contemplated and prior to making such change. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which requires additional disclosure of significant segment expenses included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss and regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”). It also requires disclosure and a description of the composition of other amounts by reportable segment, disclosure of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods and disclosure of the CODM’s title and process for assessing a reportable segment’s profit or loss. The new guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 in the fourth quarter of 2024, noting no material impact on its consolidated financial statements. See Note 4 for disclosure related to the Company’s segment reporting. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, including additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, and specific disaggregation of income taxes paid and tax expense. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company has evaluated the impact ASU 2023-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and does not expect a material impact upon adoption. The Company intends to adopt ASU 2023-09 using a retrospective approach on its annual consolidated financial statements. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” which requires disclosure of disaggregated income expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization, among other things. The amendment also requires companies to provide a qualitative description of expense captions not separately disaggregated, as well as the total amount of selling expenses and, annually, the entity’s definition of selling expenses. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact ASU 2024-03 will have on its consolidated financial statements. 2. Related Party Transactions J. Frank Harrison, III As of September 26, 2025, J. Frank Harrison, III, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, controlled 10,043,940 shares of Class B Common Stock, which represented approximately 73 % of the total voting power of the outstanding Common Stock and Class B Common Stock on a consolidated basis. The Coca‑Cola Company The Company’s business consists primarily of the distribution, marketing and manufacture of nonalcoholic beverages of The Coca‑Cola Company, which is the sole owner of the formulas under which the primary components of the Company’s soft drink products, either concentrate or syrup, are manufactured. 7 As of September 26, 2025, The Coca‑Cola Company owned shares of Common Stock representing approximately 7 % of the total voting power of the outstanding Common Stock and Class B Common Stock on a consolidated basis. The number of shares of Common Stock currently held by The Coca‑Cola Company gives it the right to have a designee proposed by the Company for nomination to the Company’s Board of Directors in the Company’s annual proxy statement. J. Frank Harrison, III and the trustees of certain trusts established for the benefit of certain relatives of the late J. Frank Harrison, Jr. have agreed to vote the shares of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock that they control in favor of such designee. The Coca‑Cola Company does not own any shares of Class B Common Stock. The following table summarizes the significant cash transactions between the Company and The Coca‑Cola Company: Third Quarter First Nine Months (in thousands) 2025 2024 2025 2024 Payments made by the Company to The Coca-Cola Company (1) $ 635,840 $ 585,967 $ 1,683,696 $ 1,582,000 Payments made by The Coca-Cola Company to the Company 92,413 65,592 261,457 184,794 (1) This excludes acquisition related sub-bottling payments made by the Company to CCR (as defined below), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Coca‑Cola Company. More than 80 % of the payments made by the Company to The Coca‑Cola Company were for concentrate, syrup, sweetener and other finished goods products, which were recorded in cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and represent the primary components of the soft drink products the Company manufactures and distributes. Payments made by the Company to The Coca‑Cola Company also included payments for marketing programs associated with large, national customers managed by The Coca‑Cola Company on behalf of the Company, which were recorded as a reduction to net sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Other payments made by the Company to The Coca‑Cola Company related to cold drink equipment parts, fees associated with the rights to distribute certain brands and other customary items. Payments made by The Coca‑Cola Company to the Company included annual funding in connection with the Company’s agreement to support certain business initiatives developed by The Coca‑Cola Company and funding associated with the delivery of post-mix products to various customers, both of which were recorded as a reduction to cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Post-mix products are dispensed through equipment that mixes fountain syrups with carbonated or still water, enabling fountain retailers to sell finished products to consumers in cups or glasses. Payments made by The Coca‑Cola Company to the Company also included fountain product delivery and equipment repair services performed by the Company on The Coca‑Cola Company’s equipment, all of which were recorded in net sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

These awards may be settled in cash and/or shares of Class B Common Stock, based on the average of the closing prices of shares of Common Stock during the last 20 trading days of the performance period. Compensation expense for the Long-Term Performance Equity Plan, which was included in selling, delivery and administrative (“SD&A”) expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, was $ 2.4 million and $ 2.3 million in the third quarter of 2025 and the third quarter of 2024, respectively, and $ 8.3 million and $ 8.1 million in the first nine months of 2025 and the first nine months of 2024, respectively. 3. Revenue Recognition The Company’s sales are divided into two main categories: (i) bottle/can sales and (ii) other sales. Bottle/can sales include products packaged primarily in plastic bottles and aluminum cans. Bottle/can net pricing is based on the invoice price charged to customers reduced by any promotional allowances. Bottle/can net pricing per unit is impacted by the price charged per package, the sales volume generated for each package and the channels in which those packages are sold. Other sales include sales to other Coca‑Cola bottlers, post-mix sales, transportation revenue and equipment maintenance revenue. The Company’s contracts are derived from customer orders, including customer sales incentives, generated through an order processing and replenishment model. Generally, the Company’s service contracts and contracts related to the delivery of specifically identifiable products have a single performance obligation. Revenues do not include sales or other taxes collected from customers. The Company has defined its performance obligations for its contracts as either at a point in time or over time. Bottle/can sales, sales to other Coca‑Cola bottlers and post-mix sales are recognized when control transfers to a customer, which is generally upon delivery and is considered a single point in time (“point in time”). Point in time sales accounted for approximately 99 % of the Company’s net sales in the first nine months of 2025 and approximately 98 % of the Company’s net sales in the first nine months of 2024. Other sales, which include revenue for service fees related to the repair of cold drink equipment and delivery fees for freight hauling and brokerage services, are recognized over time (“over time”). Revenues related to cold drink equipment repair are recognized as the respective services are completed using a cost-to-cost input method. Repair services are generally completed in less than one day but can extend up to one month . Revenues related to freight hauling and brokerage services are recognized as the delivery occurs using a miles driven output method. Generally, delivery occurs and freight charges are recognized in the same day. Over time sales orders open at the end of a financial period are not material to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The following table represents a disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers: Third Quarter First Nine Months (in thousands) 2025 2024 2025 2024 Point in time net sales: Nonalcoholic Beverages - point in time $ 1,861,794 $ 1,736,286 $ 5,248,689 $ 5,063,822 Total point in time net sales $ 1,861,794 $ 1,736,286 $ 5,248,689 $ 5,063,822 Over time net sales: Nonalcoholic Beverages - over time $ 15,205 $ 15,209 $ 42,371 $ 42,537 All Other - over time 11,318 14,157 32,753 46,862 Total over time net sales $ 26,523 $ 29,366 $ 75,124 $ 89,399 Total net sales $ 1,888,317 $ 1,765,652 $ 5,323,813 $ 5,153,221 The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts in the condensed consolidated balance sheets includes a reserve for customer returns and an allowance for credit losses. The Company experiences customer returns primarily as a result of damaged or out-of-date product. At any given time, the Company estimates less than 1 % of bottle/can sales and post-mix sales could be at risk for return by customers. Returned product is recognized as a reduction to net sales. The Company’s reserve for customer returns was $ 5.6 million as of September 26, 2025 and $ 5.2 million as of December 31, 2024. 10 The Company estimates an allowance for credit losses, based on historic days’ sales outstanding trends, aged customer balances, previously written-off balances and expected recoveries up to balances previously written off, in order to present the net amount expected to be collected. Accounts receivable balances are written off when determined uncollectible and are recognized as a reduction to the allowance for credit losses. Following is a summary of activity for the allowance for credit losses during the first nine months of 2025 and the first nine months of 2024: First Nine Months (in thousands) 2025 2024 Beginning balance - allowance for credit losses $ 9,524 $ 11,560 Additions charged to expenses and as a reduction to net sales 2,555 2,254 Deductions ( 4,568 ) ( 2,806 ) Ending balance - allowance for credit losses $ 7,511 $ 11,008 4. Segments The Company evaluates segment reporting in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 280, Segment Reporting, each reporting period, including evaluating the reporting package reviewed by the CODM. The Company has concluded the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Operating Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as a group, represent the CODM. Segment asset information is not provided to the CODM. The Company has three operating segments, each identified by its unique products and services. Nonalcoholic Beverages represents the vast majority of the Company’s consolidated net sales and income from operations. The additional two operating segments, which include Data Ventures, Inc. and the Red Classic subsidiaries, do not meet the quantitative thresholds for separate reporting, either individually or in the aggregate, and, therefore, have been combined into “All Other.” The accounting policies of the Nonalcoholic Beverages segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies presented in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2024. The CODM uses net sales, gross profit and income from operations in the annual budgeting and forecasting process. Monthly, the CODM considers budget-to-actual variances and current year to prior year variances for these profit measures when making strategic business decisions and allocating resources to Company operations. The Company’s segment results are as follows: Third Quarter 2025 (in thousands) Nonalcoholic Beverages All Other Eliminations (1) Total Net sales $ 1,876,999 $ 85,702 $ ( 74,384 ) $ 1,888,317 Cost of goods sold 1,147,875 47,168 ( 55,242 ) 1,139,801 Gross profit 729,124 38,534 ( 19,142 ) 748,516 Selling, delivery and administrative expenses: Payroll costs (2) $ 314,529 $ 13,689 $ — $ 328,218 Fleet costs (3) 25,723 8,281 — 34,004 Depreciation and amortization expense (4) 29,137 552 — 29,689 All other segment items (5) 121,374 7,739 ( 19,142 ) 109,971 Total selling, delivery and administrative expenses 490,763 30,261 ( 19,142 ) 501,882 Income from operations $ 238,361 $ 8,273 $ — $ 246,634 Total depreciation and amortization expense (4) $ 49,993 $ 5,093 $ — $ 55,086 11 Third Quarter 2024 (in thousands) Nonalcoholic Beverages All Other Eliminations (1) Total Net sales $ 1,751,495 $ 86,230 $ ( 72,073 ) $ 1,765,652 Cost of goods sold 1,066,387 54,656 ( 53,427 ) 1,067,616 Gross profit 685,108 31,574 ( 18,646 ) 698,036 Selling, delivery and administrative expenses: Payroll costs (2) $ 297,420 $ 13,165 $ — $ 310,585 Fleet costs (3) 26,210 7,801 — 34,011 Depreciation and amortization expense (4) 25,859 497 — 26,356 All other segment items (5) 111,547 7,128 ( 18,646 ) 100,029 Total selling, delivery and administrative expenses 461,036 28,591 ( 18,646 ) 470,981 Income from operations $ 224,072 $ 2,983 $ — $ 227,055 Total depreciation and amortization expense (4) $ 44,511 $ 4,259 $ — $ 48,770 First Nine Months 2025 (in thousands) Nonalcoholic Beverages All Other Eliminations (1) Total Net sales $ 5,291,060 $ 242,900 $ ( 210,147 ) $ 5,323,813 Cost of goods sold 3,224,211 137,341 ( 155,855 ) 3,205,697 Gross profit 2,066,849 105,559 ( 54,292 ) 2,118,116 Selling, delivery and administrative expenses: Payroll costs (2) $ 875,401 $ 39,612 $ — $ 915,013 Fleet costs (3) 72,812 22,654 — 95,466 Depreciation and amortization expense (4) 86,517 1,637 — 88,154 All other segment items (5) 342,651 22,586 ( 54,292 ) 310,945 Total selling, delivery and administrative expenses 1,377,381 86,489 ( 54,292 ) 1,409,578 Income from operations $ 689,468 $ 19,070 $ — $ 708,538 Total depreciation and amortization expense (4) $ 147,427 $ 15,797 $ — $ 163,224 First Nine Months 2024 (in thousands) Nonalcoholic Beverages All Other Eliminations (1) Total Net sales $ 5,106,359 $ 260,930 $ ( 214,068 ) $ 5,153,221 Cost of goods sold 3,090,378 165,902 ( 158,364 ) 3,097,916 Gross profit 2,015,981 95,028 ( 55,704 ) 2,055,305 Selling, delivery and administrative expenses: Payroll costs (2) $ 843,169 $ 39,833 $ — $ 883,002 Fleet costs (3) 77,989 23,587 — 101,576 Depreciation and amortization expense (4) 76,398 1,485 — 77,883 All other segment items (5) 327,186 19,761 ( 55,704 ) 291,243 Total selling, delivery and administrative expenses 1,324,742 84,666 ( 55,704 ) 1,353,704 Income from operations $ 691,239 $ 10,362 $ — $ 701,601 Total depreciation and amortization expense (4) $ 131,332 $ 11,847 $ — $ 143,179 (1) The entire net sales elimination represents net sales from the All Other segment to the Nonalcoholic Beverages segment.

(2) For purposes of the diluted net income per share computation for Class B Common Stock, weighted average shares of Class B Common Stock are assumed to be outstanding for the entire period and not converted. (3) For periods presented during which the Company has net income, the denominator for diluted net income per share for Common Stock and Class B Common Stock includes the dilutive effect of unvested performance shares relative to the Long-Term Performance Equity Plan . For periods presented during which the Company has net loss, the unvested performance shares granted pursuant to the Long-Term Performance Equity Plan are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share, as the effect would have been anti-dilutive. See Note 2 for additional information on the Long-Term Performance Equity Plan . (4) The Long-Term Performance Equity Plan awards may be settled in cash and/or shares of Class B Common Stock. Once an election has been made to settle an award in cash, the dilutive effect of unvested performance shares relative to such award is prospectively removed from the denominator in the computation of diluted net income per share. (5) The Company did no t have anti-dilutive unvested performance shares for any periods presented. (6) On March 4, 2025, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved the Stock Split of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. The Stock Split was effected through the Amendment. The Amendment also effected a proportionate increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. The Amendment obtained stockholder approval at the Company’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which took place on May 13, 2025. Each stockholder of record as of the close of business on May 16, 2025 received nine additional shares for each share of Common Stock or Class B Common Stock held as of such date reflected in the stockholder’s account on May 23, 2025. Trading began on a split-adjusted basis on May 27, 2025. All share or per share amounts reflected above have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effects of the Stock Split. (7) On August 20, 2024, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved a share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”) under which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $ 1.00 billion of Common Stock.

Supply Chain Finance Program The Company has an agreement with a third-party financial institution to facilitate a supply chain finance program (the “SCF program”), which allows qualifying suppliers to sell their receivables from the Company to the financial institution. The participating suppliers negotiate their outstanding receivable arrangements and associated fees directly with the financial institution, and the Company is not party to those agreements. Once a qualifying supplier elects to participate in the SCF program and reaches an agreement with the financial institution, the supplier elects which individual Company invoices it sells to the financial institution. The supplier invoices that have been confirmed as valid under the SCF program require payment in full by the financial institution to the supplier by the original maturity date of the invoice, or discounted payment at an earlier date as agreed upon with the supplier. The Company’s obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment terms, are not impacted by a supplier’s participation in the SCF program. All outstanding amounts related to suppliers participating in the SCF program are recorded in accounts payable, trade in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and associated payments are included in operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company’s outstanding confirmed obligations included in accounts payable, trade in the condensed consolidated balance sheets were $ 62.7 million as of September 26, 2025 and $ 52.2 million as of December 31, 2024. 14.

Commodity Derivative Instruments The Company is subject to the risk of increased costs arising from adverse changes in certain commodity prices. In the normal course of business, the Company manages this risk, where practicable, through a variety of strategies, including the use of commodity derivative instruments. The Company does not use commodity derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. These commodity derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments under GAAP and are used as “economic hedges” to manage certain commodity price risk. The Company uses several different financial institutions for commodity derivative instruments to minimize the concentration of credit risk. While the Company would be exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by these counterparties, the Company does not anticipate nonperformance by these counterparties. Commodity derivative instruments held by the Company are marked to market on a quarterly basis and are recognized in earnings consistent with the expense classification of the underlying hedged item. The Company generally pays a fee for these commodity derivative instruments, which is amortized over the corresponding period of each commodity derivative instrument. Settlements of commodity derivative instruments are included in cash flows from operating activities in the condensed consolidated 18 statements of cash flows. The following table summarizes pre-tax changes in the fair values of the Company’s commodity derivative instruments and the classification of such changes in the condensed consolidated statements of operations: Third Quarter First Nine Months (in thousands) 2025 2024 2025 2024 Cost of sales $ 378 $ 1,426 $ 899 $ 1,345 Selling, delivery and administrative expenses ( 84 ) ( 631 ) 770 ( 420 ) Total gain $ 294 $ 795 $ 1,669 $ 925 All commodity derivative instruments are recorded at fair value as either assets or liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company has master agreements with the counterparties to its commodity derivative instruments that provide for net settlement of derivative transactions. Accordingly, the net amounts of derivative assets are recognized in either prepaid expenses and other current assets or other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the net amounts of derivative liabilities are recognized in either other accrued liabilities or other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The following table summarizes the fair values of the Company’s commodity derivative instruments and the classification of such instruments in the condensed consolidated balance sheets: (in thousands) September 26, 2025 December 31, 2024 Assets: Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 3,783 $ 2,472 Other assets 358 — Total assets $ 4,141 $ 2,472 The following table summarizes the Company’s gross commodity derivative instrument assets and gross commodity derivative instrument liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets: (in thousands) September 26, 2025 December 31, 2024 Gross commodity derivative instrument assets $ 5,059 $ 2,472 Gross commodity derivative instrument liabilities 918 — The following table summarizes the Company’s outstanding commodity derivative instruments: (in thousands) September 26, 2025 December 31, 2024 Notional amount of outstanding commodity derivative instruments $ 40,338 $ 50,928 Latest maturity date of outstanding commodity derivative instruments December 2026 December 2025 16. Fair Values of Financial Instruments GAAP requires assets and liabilities carried at fair value to be classified and disclosed in one of the following categories: • Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. • Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. 19 The below methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair values of its financial instruments. There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between levels in any period presented. Financial Instrument Fair Value Level Methods and Assumptions Deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities Level 1 The fair value of the Company’s nonqualified deferred compensation plan for certain executives and other highly compensated employees is based on the fair values of associated assets and liabilities, which are held in mutual funds and are based on the quoted market prices of the securities held within the mutual funds. Short-term investments Level 1 The fair values of the Company’s Level 1 short-term investments, which are U.S. Treasury securities, corporate bonds and asset-backed securities, are based on the quoted market prices of those securities which are actively traded on national exchanges. Short-term investments Level 2 The fair values of the Company’s Level 2 short-term investments, which are commercial paper instruments, are based on estimated current market prices and have readily determinable fair market values. Commodity derivative instruments Level 2 The fair values of the Company’s commodity derivative instruments are based on current settlement values at each balance sheet date, which represent the estimated amounts the Company would have received or paid upon termination of those instruments. The Company’s credit risk related to the commodity derivative instruments is managed by requiring high standards for its counterparties and periodic settlements. The Company considers nonperformance risk in determining the fair values of commodity derivative instruments. Debt Level 2 The carrying amounts of the Company’s variable rate debt approximate the fair values due to variable interest rates with short reset periods. The fair values of the Company’s fixed rate debt are based on estimated current market prices. Acquisition related contingent consideration Level 3 The fair value of the Company’s acquisition related contingent consideration is based on internal forecasts and the weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) derived from market data. The following tables summarize the carrying amounts and the fair values by level of the Company’s deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities, short-term investments, commodity derivative instruments, debt and acquisition related contingent consideration: September 26, 2025 (in thousands) Carrying Amount Total Fair Value Fair Value Level 1 Fair Value Level 2 Fair Value Level 3 Assets: Deferred compensation plan assets $ 94,868 $ 94,868 $ 94,868 $ — $ — Short-term investments 149,061 149,061 135,962 13,099 — Commodity derivative instruments 4,141 4,141 — 4,141 — Liabilities: Deferred compensation plan liabilities 94,868 94,868 94,868 — — Debt 1,788,384 1,855,100 — 1,855,100 — Acquisition related contingent consideration 707,820 707,820 — — 707,820 December 31, 2024 (in thousands) Carrying Amount Total Fair Value Fair Value Level 1 Fair Value Level 2 Fair Value Level 3 Assets: Deferred compensation plan assets $ 81,123 $ 81,123 $ 81,123 $ — $ — Short-term investments 301,210 301,210 283,547 17,663 — Commodity derivative instruments 2,472 2,472 — 2,472 — Liabilities: Deferred compensation plan liabilities 81,123 81,123 81,123 — — Debt 1,786,348 1,803,500 — 1,803,500 — Acquisition related contingent consideration 654,191 654,191 — — 654,191 20 The acquisition related contingent consideration was valued using a probability weighted discounted cash flow model based on internal forecasts and the WACC derived from market data, which are considered Level 3 inputs. Each reporting period, the Company adjusts its acquisition related contingent consideration liability related to the distribution territories subject to acquisition related sub-bottling payments to fair value by discounting future expected acquisition related sub-bottling payments required under the CBA using the Company’s estimated WACC. The future expected acquisition related sub-bottling payments extend through the life of the related distribution assets acquired in each distribution territory, which is generally 40 years. As a result, the fair value of the acquisition related contingent consideration liability is impacted by the Company’s WACC, management’s estimate of the acquisition related sub-bottling payments that will be made in the future under the CBA, and current acquisition related sub-bottling payments (all Level 3 inputs). Changes in any of these Level 3 inputs, particularly the underlying risk-free interest rate used to estimate the Company’s WACC, could result in material changes to the fair value of the acquisition related contingent consideration liability and could materially impact the amount of non-cash expense (or income) recorded each reporting period. The acquisition related contingent consideration liability is the Company’s only Level 3 asset or liability. A summary of the Level 3 activity is as follows: Third Quarter First Nine Months (in thousands) 2025 2024 2025 2024 Beginning balance - Level 3 liability $ 675,300 $ 657,246 $ 654,191 $ 669,337 Payments of acquisition related contingent consideration ( 16,430 ) ( 20,567 ) ( 51,639 ) ( 44,243 ) Reclassification to current payables ( 400 ) 300 800 ( 10,400 ) Increase in fair value 49,350 68,592 104,468 90,877 Ending balance - Level 3 liability $ 707,820 $ 705,571 $ 707,820 $ 705,571 As of September 26, 2025 and September 27, 2024, a WACC of 8.6 % was utilized in the valuation of the Company’s acquisition related contingent consideration liability. The increase in the fair value of the acquisition related contingent consideration liability during the first nine months of 2025 was driven by a decrease in the WACC used to calculate the fair value of the liability from 9.3 % as of December 31, 2024 and higher projections of future cash flows in the distribution territories subject to acquisition related sub-bottling payments. This fair value adjustment was recorded in mark-to-market on acquisition related contingent consideration in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the first nine months of 2025. For the next five future years, the Company anticipates that the amount it could pay annually under the acquisition related contingent consideration arrangements for the distribution territories subject to acquisition related sub-bottling payments will be in the range of approximately $ 50 million to $ 80 million. 17. Income Taxes The Company’s effective income tax rate was 25.9 % for the first nine months of 2025 and 25.6 % for the first nine months of 2024. The Company’s income tax expense was $ 151.4 million for the first nine months of 2025 and $ 156.4 million for the first nine months of 2024. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily attributable to lower income before taxes during the first nine months of 2025 compared to the first nine months of 2024. The Company had uncertain tax positions, including accrued interest, of $ 0.5 million on September 26, 2025 and $ 0.4 million on December 31, 2024, all of which would affect the Company’s effective income tax rate if recognized. Prior tax years beginning in year 2021 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, and various tax years beginning in year 2001 remain open to examination by certain state tax jurisdictions due to loss carryforwards. On July 4, 2025, H.R. 1, commonly known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (the “OBBBA”), was enacted into law. The OBBBA is a reconciliation bill impacting businesses as it includes a broad range of tax reform provisions. The Company does not expect any material net impact to its condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of the OBBBA. 21 18. Pension and Postretirement Benefit Obligations Pension Plan The Company sponsors a pension plan, the Bargaining Plan (the “Bargaining Plan”). The Bargaining Plan is for certain employees under collective bargaining agreements. Benefits under the Bargaining Plan are determined in accordance with negotiated formulas for the respective participants. The components of net periodic pension cost were as follows: Third Quarter First Nine Months (in thousands) 2025 2024 2025 2024 Service cost $ 973 $ 1,092 $ 2,919 $ 3,274 Interest cost 653 588 1,959 1,765 Expected return on plan assets ( 819 ) ( 762 ) ( 2,458 ) ( 2,287 ) Recognized net actuarial gain ( 9 ) — ( 27 ) — Amortization of prior service costs 4 4 12 12 Net periodic pension cost $ 802 $ 922 $ 2,405 $ 2,764 Contributions to the Bargaining Plan are based on actuarially determined amounts and are limited to the amounts currently deductible for income tax purposes. The Company contributed $ 5.0 million to the Bargaining Plan during the first nine months of 2025 to fund the ongoing projected benefit obligation of the Bargaining Plan. The Company does not anticipate making additional contributions to the Bargaining Plan during the fourth quarter of 2025. Postretirement Benefits The Company provides postretirement benefits for employees meeting specified qualifying criteria . The Company recognizes the cost of postretirement benefits, which consist principally of medical benefits, during employees’ periods of active service. The Company does not prefund these benefits and has the right to modify or terminate certain of these benefits in the future. The components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost were as follows: Third Quarter First Nine Months (in thousands) 2025 2024 2025 2024 Service cost $ 323 $ 310 $ 969 $ 930 Interest cost 857 781 2,571 2,343 Recognized net actuarial loss — 26 — 78 Net periodic postretirement benefit cost $ 1,180 $ 1,117 $ 3,540 $ 3,351 19. Other Liabilities Other liabilities consisted of the following: (in thousands) September 26, 2025 December 31, 2024 Noncurrent portion of acquisition related contingent consideration $ 633,140 $ 590,209 Accruals for executive benefit plans 170,588 163,444 Noncurrent deferred proceeds from related parties 94,814 97,112 Other 6,209 8,794 Total other liabilities $ 904,751 $ 859,559 22 20. Debt Following is a summary of the Company’s debt: (in thousands) Maturity Date Interest Rate Interest Paid Public/ Nonpublic September 26, 2025 December 31, 2024 Senior bonds (the “2025 Senior Bonds”) (1) 11/25/2025 3.800 % Semi-annually Public $ 350,000 $ 350,000 Senior notes 10/10/2026 3.930 % Quarterly Nonpublic 100,000 100,000 Senior bonds (the “2029 Senior Bonds”) (2) 6/1/2029 5.250 % Semi-annually Public 700,000 700,000 Revolving credit facility (3) 6/10/2029 Variable Varies Nonpublic — — Senior notes 3/21/2030 3.960 % Quarterly Nonpublic 150,000 150,000 Senior bonds (the “2034 Senior Bonds”) (4) 6/1/2034 5.450 % Semi-annually Public 500,000 500,000 Unamortized discount on senior bonds (1)(2)(4) Various ( 1,271 ) ( 1,482 ) Debt issuance costs ( 10,345 ) ( 12,170 ) Total debt 1,788,384 1,786,348 Less: Current portion of debt (1) 349,945 349,699 Total long-term debt $ 1,438,439 $ 1,436,649 (1) The 2025 Senior Bonds were issued at 99.975 % of par. As of September 26, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the 2025 Senior Bonds, net of debt issuance costs and unamortized discount, were classified as current portion of debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. (2) The 2029 Senior Bonds were issued at 99.843 % of par. (3) The Company’s revolving credit facility has an aggregate maximum borrowing capacity of $ 500 million. The Company currently believes all banks participating in the revolving credit facility have the ability to and will meet any funding requests from the Company. (4) The 2034 Senior Bonds were issued at 99.893 % of par. The Company mitigates its financing risk by using multiple financial institutions and only entering into credit arrangements with institutions with investment grade credit ratings. The Company monitors counterparty credit ratings on an ongoing basis. The indentures under which the 2025 Senior Bonds, the 2029 Senior Bonds and the 2034 Senior Bonds were issued do not include financial covenants, but do limit the incurrence of certain liens and encumbrances as well as indebtedness by the Company’s subsidiaries in excess of certain amounts. The agreements under which the Company’s nonpublic debt, including its revolving credit facility, was issued include two financial covenants: a consolidated cash flow/fixed charges ratio and a consolidated funded indebtedness/cash flow ratio, each as defined in the respective agreement. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of September 26, 2025. These covenants have not restricted the Company’s liquidity or capital resources. All outstanding debt has been issued by the Company and none has been issued by any of its subsidiaries. There are no guarantees of the Company’s debt. 21. Commitments and Contingencies Manufacturing Cooperatives The Company is obligated to purchase at least 80 % of its requirements of plastic bottles for certain designated territories from Southeastern. The Company is also obligated to purchase 16.0 million cases of finished product from SAC on an annual basis through June 2034. The Company purchased 20.4 million cases and 19.0 million cases of finished product from SAC in the first nine months of 2025 and the first nine months of 2024, respectively. 23 The following table summarizes the Company’s purchases from these manufacturing cooperatives: Third Quarter First Nine Months (in thousands) 2025 2024 2025 2024 Purchases from Southeastern $ 32,061 $ 34,887 $ 88,601 $ 108,983 Purchases from SAC 55,381 55,056 165,525 154,981 Total purchases from manufacturing cooperatives $ 87,442 $ 89,943 $ 254,126 $ 263,964 The Company guarantees a portion of SAC’s debt, which matures in 2028, based on the ratio of SAC’s total liabilities to SAC’s shareholders’ equity as of December 31 of each year. As of September 26, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the ratio of SAC’s total liabilities to SAC’s shareholders’ equity was such that the Company was not required to guarantee any of SAC’s debt. In the event SAC fails to fulfill its commitments under the related debt, the Company would be responsible for payment to the lenders up to the level of the guarantee. The Company does not anticipate SAC will fail to fulfill its commitments related to the debt. The Company further believes SAC has sufficient assets, including production equipment, facilities and working capital, and the ability to adjust the selling prices of its products to adequately mitigate the risk of material loss relating to the Company’s guarantee. The Company holds no assets as collateral against the SAC guarantee, the fair value of which is immaterial to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company monitors its investment in SAC and would be required to write down its investment if an impairment, other than a temporary impairment, was identified. No impairment of the Company’s investment in SAC was identified as of September 26, 2025, and there was no impairment identified in 2024. Other Commitments and Contingencies The Company has standby letters of credit, primarily related to its property and casualty insurance programs. These letters of credit totaled $ 47.5 million on September 26, 2025 and $ 39.0 million on December 31, 2024. The Company participates in long-term marketing contractual arrangements with certain prestige properties, athletic venues and other locations. As of September 26, 2025, the future payments related to these contractual arrangements, which expire at various dates through 2035, amounted to $ 141.6 million. As of December 31, 2024, the future payments related to these contractual arrangements, which expire at various dates through 2034, amounted to $ 135.5 million. The Company is involved in various claims and legal proceedings which have arisen in the ordinary course of its business. Although it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of these claims and legal proceedings, management believes the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. No material amount of loss in excess of recorded amounts is believed to be reasonably possible as a result of these claims and legal proceedings. The Company is subject to audits by tax authorities in jurisdictions where it conducts business. These audits may result in assessments that are subsequently resolved with the authorities or potentially through the courts. Management believes the Company has adequately provided for any assessments likely to result from these audits; however, final assessments, if any, could be different than the amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements. 24 22.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Coca‑Cola Consolidated, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its majority-owned subsidiaries, the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), is intended to help the reader understand our financial condition and results of operations and is provided as an addition to, and should be read in conjunction with, our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts and the consolidated operations of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All comparisons are to the corresponding period in the prior year unless specified otherwise. Each of the Company’s quarters, other than the fourth quarter, ends on the Friday closest to the last day of the corresponding quarterly calendar period. The Company’s fourth quarter and fiscal year end on December 31 regardless of the day of the week on which December 31 falls. The condensed consolidated financial statements presented are: • The financial position as of September 26, 2025 and December 31, 2024. • The results of operations, comprehensive income and changes in stockholders’ equity for the three-month periods ended September 26, 2025 (the “third quarter” of fiscal 2025 (“2025”)) and September 27, 2024 (the “third quarter” of fiscal 2024 (“2024”)) and the nine-month periods ended September 26, 2025 (the “first nine months” of 2025) and September 27, 2024 (the “first nine months” of 2024). • The changes in cash flows for the first nine months of 2025 and the first nine months of 2024. Our Business and the Nonalcoholic Beverage Industry We distribute, market and manufacture nonalcoholic beverages in territories spanning 14 states and the District of Columbia. The Company was incorporated in 1980 and, together with its predecessors, has been in the nonalcoholic beverage manufacturing and distribution business since 1902. We are the largest Coca‑Cola bottler in the United States. Approximately 85% of our total bottle/can sales volume to retail customers consists of products of The Coca‑Cola Company, which include some of the most recognized and popular beverage brands in the world. We also distribute products for several other beverage companies, including Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (“Dr Pepper”) and Monster Energy Company. Our Purpose is to honor God in all we do, to serve others, to pursue excellence and to grow profitably. Our Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Common Stock”), is traded on The Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “COKE.” We offer a range of nonalcoholic beverage products and flavors, including both sparkling and still beverages, designed to meet the demands of our consumers. Sparkling beverages are carbonated beverages and the Company’s principal sparkling beverage is Coca‑Cola. Still beverages include energy products and noncarbonated beverages such as bottled water, ready-to-drink tea, ready-to-drink coffee, enhanced water, juices and sports drinks. Our sales are divided into two main categories: (i) bottle/can sales and (ii) other sales. Bottle/can sales include products packaged primarily in plastic bottles and aluminum cans. Bottle/can net pricing is based on the invoice price charged to customers reduced by any promotional allowances. Bottle/can net pricing per unit is impacted by the price charged per package, the sales volume generated for each package and the channels in which those packages are sold. Other sales include sales to other Coca‑Cola bottlers, post-mix sales, transportation revenue and equipment maintenance revenue. Post-mix products are dispensed through equipment that mixes fountain syrups with carbonated or still water, enabling fountain retailers to sell finished products to consumers in cups or glasses. The Company’s products are sold and distributed in the United States through various channels, which include selling directly to customers, including grocery stores, mass merchandise stores, club stores, convenience stores and drug stores, selling to on-premise locations, where products are typically consumed immediately, such as restaurants, schools, amusement parks and recreational facilities, and selling through other channels such as vending machine outlets. The Company also distributes its products using alternative routes to market (“ARTM”), which include third-party distributors, the manufacturer of the product or the customer’s supply chain infrastructure. The nonalcoholic beverage industry is highly competitive for both sparkling and still beverages. Our competitors include bottlers and distributors of nationally and regionally advertised and marketed products, as well as bottlers and distributors of private label beverages. Our principal competitors include local bottlers of PepsiCo, Inc. products and, in some regions, local bottlers of Dr Pepper products. The principal methods of competition in the nonalcoholic beverage industry are new brand and product introductions, point-of-sale merchandising, new vending and dispensing equipment, packaging changes, pricing, sales promotions, product quality, retail 27 space management, customer service, frequency of distribution and advertising. We believe we are competitive in our territories with respect to these methods of competition. Business seasonality results primarily from higher unit sales of the Company’s products in the second and third quarters of the fiscal year, as sales of our products are typically correlated with warmer weather. We believe that we and other manufacturers from whom we purchase finished products have adequate production capacity to meet sales demand for sparkling and still beverages during these peak periods. Sales volume can also be impacted by weather conditions. Fixed costs, such as depreciation expense, are not significantly impacted by business seasonality. Executive Summary Volume was up 3.3% in the third quarter of 2025 and down 1.2% in the first nine months of the year. The first nine months of 2025 had two fewer selling days compared to the first nine months of 2024, which accounted for approximately 0.7% of the first nine-month volume decline, as discussed in the “Comparable and Adjusted Results (Non-GAAP)” section. Our Sparkling category volume increased by 1.4% in the third quarter of 2025. The strong Sparkling volume performance was driven primarily by growth within zero-sugar and flavor offerings, while we continued to experience moderating headwinds in demand for Coca-Cola Original Taste. Still volume increased 8.9% in the third quarter of 2025 as a result of strong performance across many brands. Monster, Powerade, smartwater, Core Power, Dasani and Topo Chico all achieved volume growth in the third quarter of 2025, reflecting the strength of the brands and strong consumer demand. Net sales increased 6.9% to $1.9 billion in the third quarter of 2025 and increased 3.3% to $5.3 billion in the first nine months of 2025. The growth in net sales was primarily the result of annual price increases executed during the first quarter of 2025 and strong volume performance during the third quarter. Sparkling and Still net sales increased 4.7% and 9.9% in the third quarter of 2025, respectively, compared to the third quarter of 2024. The increase in Sparkling category net sales was driven primarily by sales of multi-pack, take-home packages sold within our large store, club and value channels. The increase in Still category net sales was driven primarily by the solid performance of numerous brands across the category sold within large retail and convenience stores. Gross profit in the third quarter of 2025 was $748.5 million, an increase of $50.5 million, or 7.2%. Gross margin in the third quarter of 2025 improved 10 basis points to 39.6%. Gross profit in the first nine months of 2025 was $2.1 billion, an increase of $62.8 million, or 3.1%. The annual price increases we executed earlier this year across our portfolio have been effective in offsetting the net impact of increased commodity costs, including the continued volatility of import tariffs on aluminum, across our portfolio. Selling, delivery and administrative (“SD&A”) expenses in the third quarter of 2025 increased $30.9 million, or 6.6%. The increase in SD&A expenses in the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the third quarter of 2024 was primarily driven by the cost of labor, which includes annual wage adjustments made earlier this year and an additional investment in the base wages of our front-line teammates, which became effective at the beginning of the third quarter. SD&A expenses as a percentage of net sales in the third quarter of 2025 decreased 10 basis points to 26.6% as compared to the third quarter of 2024. SD&A expenses in the first nine months of 2025 increased $55.9 million, or 4.1%. SD&A expenses as a percentage of net sales in the first nine months of 2025 increased 20 basis points to 26.5% as compared to the first nine months of 2024. Income from operations in the third quarter of 2025 was $246.6 million, compared to $227.1 million in the third quarter of 2024, an increase of 8.6%. Operating margin for the third quarter of 2025 was 13.1% as compared to 12.9% for the third quarter of 2024, an increase of 20 basis points. For the first nine months of 2025, income from operations improved $6.9 million to $708.5 million, an increase of 1.0%. The two fewer selling days in the first nine months of 2025 accounted for an approximately $10 million decrease in income from operations. Net income in the third quarter of 2025 was $142.3 million, compared to $115.6 million in the third quarter of 2024, an increase of $26.7 million, or 23.1%. On an adjusted basis, as defined in the “Comparable and Adjusted Results (Non-GAAP)” section, net income in the third quarter of 2025 was $179.2 million, compared to $166.7 million in the third quarter of 2024, an increase of $12.5 million, or 7.5%. Income tax expense for the third quarter of 2025 was $49.9 million, compared to $39.9 million for the third quarter of 2024, resulting in an effective income tax rate of approximately 26% for both periods. Net income in the first nine months of 2025 was $433.3 million, compared to $454.2 million in the first nine months of 2024, a decline of $20.8 million, or 4.6%. On an adjusted basis, as defined in the “Comparable and Adjusted Results (Non-GAAP)” section, net income in the first nine months of 2025 was $510.6 million, compared to $521.9 million in the first nine months of 2024, a decrease of $11.3 million, or 2.2%. Net income for both the first nine months of 2025 and 2024 was adversely impacted 28 by routine, non-cash fair value adjustments to our acquisition related contingent consideration liability, driven by changes in the discount rate and future cash flow projections used to compute the fair value of the liability. Cash flows from operations for the first nine months of 2025 were $722.9 million, compared to $707.9 million for the first nine months of 2024. In the first nine months of 2025, we invested approximately $210 million in capital expenditures as we continue to optimize our supply chain and invest for future growth. In fiscal year 2025, we expect capital expenditures to be approximately $300 million. In the third quarter of 2025, we returned over $133 million to stockholders through approximately $111 million of share repurchases and approximately $22 million of dividends. Through the first nine months of 2025, we have returned approximately $211 million to stockholders through repurchases and dividends. Areas of Emphasis Key priorities for the Company include executing our commercial strategy, executing our revenue management strategy, optimizing our supply chain, generating cash flow, determining the optimal route to market and creating and maintaining a digitally enabled selling platform. Commercial Execution : Our success is dependent on our ability to execute our commercial strategy within our customers’ stores. Our ability to obtain shelf space within stores and remain in-stock across our portfolio of brands and packages in a profitable manner will have a significant impact on our results. We are focused on execution at every step in our supply chain, including raw material and finished product procurement, manufacturing conversion, transportation, warehousing and distribution, to ensure in-store execution can occur. We continue to invest in tools and technology to enable our teammates to operate more effectively and efficiently with our customers and to drive long-term value in our business. We also continue to focus on opportunities to enhance the customer experience by adapting to changes in our customer landscape, enabling operational flexibility and focusing on customer service. Revenue Management : Our revenue management strategy focuses on pricing our brands and packages optimally within product categories and channels, creating effective working relationships with our customers and making disciplined fact-based decisions. Pricing decisions are made considering a variety of factors, including brand strength, competitive environment, input costs, the roles certain brands play in our product portfolio and other market conditions. Supply Chain Optimization : We are continually focused on optimizing our supply chain, which includes identifying nearby warehousing and distribution operations that can be consolidated into new facilities to increase capacity, expand production capabilities, reduce overall production costs and add automation to allow the Company to better serve its customers and consumers. The Company has made, and expects to continue to make, significant capital investments to optimize our supply chain and to invest for future growth. Cash Flow Generation : We have several initiatives in place to optimize cash flow, improve profitability, prudently manage capital expenditures and enhance capital returns to our stockholders. We believe strengthening our balance sheet gives us the flexibility to make optimal capital allocation decisions for long-term value creation. We have returned, and expect to continue to return, value to our stockholders. Optimal Route to Market : We are focused on implementing optimal methods of distribution of our products within our territory. Direct store delivery (“DSD”) is our preferred and primary route to market. Our typical DSD method uses Company-owned vehicles and warehouses, but we increasingly shifted to alternative methods of distribution, or ARTM, during 2024 and continued to use ARTM during the first nine months of 2025. For example, in instances of post-mix delivery for use in fountain machines, we have shifted, and continue to shift, our delivery method towards alternative distributors in order to enhance profitability and customer service. We receive a fee from our brand partners on these post-mix gallons delivered to locally managed customers in our territory, which is recorded as a reduction to cost of sales. In instances of bottle/can delivery, we have shifted certain products for certain customers and channels of business to ARTM. These ARTM include third-party distributors, the manufacturer of the product or the customer’s supply chain infrastructure. These bottle/can arrangements generally come with favorable commercial terms for the Company, and, because we have the exclusive distribution rights for nonalcoholic beverages within our franchise territory, we receive fees from our brand partners for the delivery of qualified product in our territory. These fees are reported in net sales. During the first nine months of 2025, nearly two-thirds of our post-mix gallons and less than 10% of our bottle/can volume was delivered through ARTM. 29 Digitally Enabled Selling Platform : Through our investment in CONA Services LLC, we, along with other Coca-Cola bottlers, have built a digitally enabled selling platform called MyCoke that we believe has enabled, and will continue to enable, us to better serve our customers. This platform creates a more seamless order and payment platform for certain customers and we expect this platform will continue to enable us to enhance customer service and create more selling opportunities for our teammates. This platform is currently targeted to certain on-premise and small store customers. Results of Operations Third Quarter Results The Company’s results of operations for the third quarter of 2025 and the third quarter of 2024 are highlighted in the table below and discussed in the following paragraphs. Third Quarter (in thousands) 2025 2024 Change Net sales $ 1,888,317 $ 1,765,652 $ 122,665 Cost of sales 1,139,801 1,067,616 72,185 Gross profit 748,516 698,036 50,480 Selling, delivery and administrative expenses 501,882 470,981 30,901 Income from operations 246,634 227,055 19,579 Interest expense, net 4,687 2,187 2,500 Mark-to-market on acquisition related contingent consideration 49,350 68,592 (19,242) Other expense, net 367 713 (346) Income before taxes 192,230 155,563 36,667 Income tax expense 49,896 39,939 9,957 Net income 142,334 115,624 26,710 Other comprehensive income, net of tax 60 451 (391) Comprehensive income $ 142,394 $ 116,075 $ 26,319 Net Sales Net sales increased $122.7 million, or 6.9%, to $1.89 billion in the third quarter of 2025, as compared to $1.77 billion in the third quarter of 2024. The increase in net sales was driven by higher average bottle/can sales price per unit charged to retail customers, which increased net sales by approximately $60 million during the third quarter of 2025. The increase in net sales was also positively impacted by higher case sales volume, which increased net sales by approximately $60 million during the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the third quarter of 2024. Net sales by product category were as follows: Third Quarter (in thousands) 2025 2024 % Change Bottle/can sales: Sparkling beverages $ 1,083,139 $ 1,034,690 4.7 % Still beverages 643,287 585,527 9.9 % Total bottle/can sales 1,726,426 1,620,217 6.6 % Other sales: Sales to other Coca‑Cola bottlers 97,622 88,363 10.5 % Post-mix sales and other 64,269 57,072 12.6 % Total other sales 161,891 145,435 11.3 % Total net sales $ 1,888,317 $ 1,765,652 6.9 % 30 Product category sales volume of standard physical cases (as defined below) and the percentage change by product category were as follows: Third Quarter (in thousands) 2025 2024 % Change Bottle/can sales volume: Sparkling beverages 67,695 66,781 1.4 % Still beverages 25,122 23,078 8.9 % Total bottle/can sales volume 92,817 89,859 3.3 % A standard physical case is a volume metric used to standardize differing package configurations in order to measure delivered cases on an equivalent basis. As the Company evaluates its volume metrics, it reassesses the way in which physical case volume is measured, which may lead to differences from previously presented results in order to conform with current period standard volume measurement techniques, as used by management. Additionally, as the Company introduces new products, it reassesses the category assigned to its products at the SKU level, therefore categorization could differ from previously presented results in order to conform with current period categorization. Any differences are not material. The bottle/can sales volume above represents volume that is delivered directly to our customer outlets using Company-owned vehicles and warehouses. In order to serve our customers in the most efficient way, respond to customer demands and increase profitability, the Company has, in certain circumstances, shifted the delivery of our products to third-party distributors, the manufacturer of the product or the customer’s supply chain infrastructure, rather than using Company-owned vehicles and warehouses. As a result of not physically delivering the product, the sales volume delivered using these alternative methods of distribution is not reflected in our volume metrics. Changes in the delivery of our products to our customers impacted our reported volume and net sales during 2024 and the first nine months of 2025. Cost of Sales Inputs representing a substantial portion of the Company’s cost of sales include: (i) purchases of finished products, (ii) raw material costs, including aluminum cans, plastic bottles, carbon dioxide and sweetener, (iii) concentrate costs and (iv) manufacturing costs, including labor, overhead and warehouse costs. In addition, cost of sales includes shipping, handling and fuel costs related to the movement of finished products from manufacturing plants to distribution centers, amortization expense of distribution rights, distribution fees of certain products and marketing credits and post-mix funding from our brand partners. Input costs for products we produce, including underlying commodity costs for aluminum cans, plastic bottles, carbon dioxide and sweetener, as well as labels and other packaging materials, and excluding concentrate, represent approximately 20% of total annual cost of sales. Cost of sales increased $72.2 million, or 6.8%, to $1.14 billion in the third quarter of 2025, as compared to $1.07 billion in the third quarter of 2024. The increase in cost of sales was driven by higher case sales volume, which increased cost of sales by approximately $35 million during the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the third quarter of 2024. The increase in cost of sales was also impacted by higher input costs, which increased cost of sales by approximately $25 million during the third quarter of 2025. The Company relies extensively on advertising and sales promotions in the marketing of its products. The Coca‑Cola Company and other beverage companies that supply concentrates, syrups and finished products to the Company make substantial marketing and advertising expenditures, including national advertising programs, to develop their brand identities and to promote sales in the Company’s territories. Our brand partners also provide funding related to the delivery of post-mix gallons to locally managed customers within the Company’s territory. Certain of these marketing, advertising and other funding expenditures are made pursuant to annual arrangements. Total funding support from The Coca‑Cola Company and other beverage companies, which includes both direct payments to the Company and payments to customers for marketing programs, was $56.9 million in the third quarter of 2025 and $48.5 million in the third quarter of 2024. Selling, Delivery and Administrative Expenses SD&A expenses include the following: sales management labor costs, distribution costs resulting from transporting finished products from distribution centers to customer locations, distribution center overhead including depreciation expense, distribution center warehousing costs, delivery vehicles and cold drink equipment, point-of-sale expenses, advertising expenses, cold drink equipment repair costs, amortization of intangible assets and administrative support labor and operating costs. Labor costs represent approximately 60% of total annual SD&A expenses. 31 SD&A expenses increased $30.9 million, or 6.6%, to $501.9 million in the third quarter of 2025, as compared to $471.0 million in the third quarter of 2024. The increase in SD&A expenses was primarily driven by an increase in labor costs related to annual wage adjustments and an additional investment in the base wages of our front-line teammates, which became effective at the beginning of the third quarter of 2025. SD&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 26.6% in the third quarter of 2025 from 26.7% in the third quarter of 2024. Shipping and handling costs included in SD&A expenses were approximately $221 million in the third quarter of 2025 and approximately $206 million in the third quarter of 2024. Interest Expense, Net Interest expense, net increased $2.5 million to $4.7 million in the third quarter of 2025, as compared to $2.2 million in the third quarter of 2024. The increase in interest expense, net was primarily driven by lower interest income on average cash, cash equivalent and short-term investment balances in the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the third quarter of 2024. Mark-to-Market on Acquisition Related Contingent Consideration Each reporting period, the Company adjusts its acquisition related contingent consideration liability to fair value, which is determined by discounting future expected acquisition related sub-bottling payments using the Company’s estimated weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) and future cash flow projections, and records the fair value adjustment as mark-to-market on acquisition related contingent consideration in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Mark-to-market on acquisition related contingent consideration was an increase of $49.4 million in the third quarter of 2025 and an increase of $68.6 million in the third quarter of 2024. During the third quarter of 2025, the $49.4 million increase in the fair value of the acquisition related contingent consideration liability was driven by a decrease in the WACC used to calculate the fair value of the liability and higher projections of future cash flows in the distribution territories subject to acquisition related sub-bottling payments. During the third quarter of 2024, the $68.6 million increase in the fair value of the acquisition related contingent consideration liability was primarily driven by higher projections of future cash flows in the distribution territories subject to acquisition related sub-bottling payments, as well as a decrease in the WACC used to calculate the fair value of the liability. Other Expense, Net Other expense, net was $0.4 million in the third quarter of 2025, as compared to $0.7 million in the third quarter of 2024. Income Tax Expense The Company’s effective income tax rate was 26.0% for the third quarter of 2025 and 25.7% for the third quarter of 2024. The Company’s income tax expense increased $10.0 million, or 24.9%, to $49.9 million for the third quarter of 2025, as compared to $39.9 million for the third quarter of 2024. The increase in income tax expense was primarily attributable to higher income before taxes during the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the third quarter of 2024. Other Comprehensive Income, Net of Tax Other comprehensive income, net of tax was $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2025 and $0.5 million in the third quarter of 2024. 32 First Nine Months Results Our results of operations for the first nine months of 2025 and the first nine months of 2024 are highlighted in the table below and discussed in the following paragraphs. First Nine Months (in thousands) 2025 2024 Change Net sales $ 5,323,813 $ 5,153,221 $ 170,592 Cost of sales 3,205,697 3,097,916 107,781 Gross profit 2,118,116 2,055,305 62,811 Selling, delivery and administrative expenses 1,409,578 1,353,704 55,874 Income from operations 708,538 701,601 6,937 Interest expense (income), net 17,509 (2,149) 19,658 Mark-to-market on acquisition related contingent consideration 104,468 90,877 13,591 Other expense, net 1,866 2,250 (384) Income before taxes 584,695 610,623 (25,928) Income tax expense 151,363 156,446 (5,083) Net income 433,332 454,177 (20,845) Other comprehensive income, net of tax 14 324 (310) Comprehensive income $ 433,346 $ 454,501 $ (21,155) Net Sales Net sales increased $170.6 million, or 3.3%, to $5.32 billion in the first nine months of 2025, as compared to $5.15 billion in the first nine months of 2024. The largest driver of the increase in net sales was higher average bottle/can sales price per unit charged to retail customers, which increased net sales by approximately $160 million during the first nine months of 2025. Net sales was also positively impacted by shifts in product mix during the first nine months of 2025, as certain of the Company’s higher-priced brands, including energy, enhanced water and protein products, had strong sales during the period. These improvements were offset by lower case sales volume, which decreased net sales by approximately $60 million, as well as the impact of two fewer selling days in the first nine months of 2025 as compared to the first nine months of 2024. Net sales by product category were as follows: First Nine Months (in thousands) 2025 2024 % Change Bottle/can sales: Sparkling beverages $ 3,096,931 $ 3,025,902 2.3 % Still beverages 1,778,522 1,694,676 4.9 % Total bottle/can sales 4,875,453 4,720,578 3.3 % Other sales: Sales to other Coca‑Cola bottlers 278,931 259,459 7.5 % Post-mix sales and other 169,429 173,184 (2.2) % Total other sales 448,360 432,643 3.6 % Total net sales $ 5,323,813 $ 5,153,221 3.3 % Product category sales volume of standard physical cases and the percentage change by product category were as follows: First Nine Months (in thousands) 2025 2024 % Change Bottle/can sales volume: Sparkling beverages 193,811 196,212 (1.2) % Still beverages 66,439 67,211 (1.1) % Total bottle/can sales volume 260,250 263,423 (1.2) % 33 The following table summarizes the percentage of the Company’s total bottle/can sales volume to its largest customers, as well as the percentage of the Company’s total net sales that such volume represents: First Nine Months 2025 2024 Approximate percent of the Company’s total bottle/can sales volume: Walmart Inc. (1) 21 % 21 % The Kroger Co. (2) 15 % 15 % Total approximate percent of the Company’s total bottle/can sales volume 36 % 36 % Approximate percent of the Company’s total net sales: Walmart Inc. (1) 17 % 17 % The Kroger Co. (2) 12 % 12 % Total approximate percent of the Company’s total net sales 29 % 29 % (1) Includes bottle/can sales volume related to the Walmart, Sam’s Club and Walmart Neighborhood Market chains. (2) Includes bottle/can sales volume related to the Kroger and Harris Teeter chains. Cost of Sales Cost of sales increased $107.8 million, or 3.5%, to $3.21 billion in the first nine months of 2025, as compared to $3.10 billion in the first nine months of 2024. The increase in cost of sales was primarily driven by higher input costs, which increased cost of sales by approximately $105 million during the first nine months of 2025. Cost of sales also increased due to shifts in product mix to higher cost Still products as compared to the first nine months of 2024. The increase in cost of sales was partially offset by lower case sales volume, which decreased cost of sales by approximately $35 million as compared to the first nine months of 2024. Total funding support from The Coca‑Cola Company and other beverage companies was $154.5 million in the first nine months of 2025, as compared to $143.1 million in the first nine months of 2024. Selling, Delivery and Administrative Expenses SD&A expenses increased $55.9 million, or 4.1%, to $1.41 billion in the first nine months of 2025, as compared to $1.35 billion in the first nine months of 2024. The increase in SD&A expenses was primarily driven by an increase in labor costs related to annual wage adjustments and an additional investment in the base wages of our front-line teammates, which became effective at the beginning of the third quarter of 2025. SD&A expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 26.5% in the first nine months of 2025 from 26.3% in the first nine months of 2024. Shipping and handling costs included in SD&A expenses were approximately $622 million in the first nine months of 2025 and approximately $599 million in the first nine months of 2024. Interest Expense (Income), Net Interest expense (income), net changed $19.7 million to $17.5 million of interest expense, net in the first nine months of 2025, as compared to $2.1 million of interest income, net in the first nine months of 2024. The change in interest expense (income), net was primarily due to an increase in interest expense on higher average debt balances in the first nine months of 2025 as compared to the first nine months of 2024, partially offset by an increase in interest income due to higher average cash, cash equivalent and short-term investment balances. Mark-to-Market on Acquisition Related Contingent Consideration Mark-to-market on acquisition related contingent consideration was an increase of $104.5 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared to an increase of $90.9 million in the first nine months of 2024. During the first nine months of 2025, the $104.5 million increase in the fair value of the acquisition related contingent consideration liability was primarily driven by a decrease in the WACC used to calculate the fair value of the liability, as well as higher projections of future cash flows in the distribution territories subject to acquisition related sub-bottling payments. During the first nine months of 2024, the $90.9 million increase in the fair value of the acquisition related contingent consideration liability was primarily driven by higher projections of future cash flows in the distribution territories subject to acquisition related sub-bottling payments. 34 Other Expense, Net Other expense, net was $1.9 million in the first nine months of 2025 and $2.3 million in the first nine months of 2024. Income Tax Expense The Company’s effective income tax rate was 25.9% for the first nine months of 2025 and 25.6% for the first nine months of 2024. The Company’s income tax expense decreased $5.1 million, or 3.2%, to $151.4 million for the first nine months of 2025, as compared to $156.4 million for the first nine months of 2024. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily attributable to lower income before taxes during the first nine months of 2025 as compared to the first nine months of 2024. Other Comprehensive Income, Net of Tax Other comprehensive income, net of tax was $0.0 million in the first nine months of 2025 and $0.3 million in the first nine months of 2024. Segment Operating Results The Company evaluates segment reporting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 280, Segment Reporting, each reporting period, including evaluating the reporting package reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”). The Company has concluded the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Operating Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as a group, represent the CODM. Segment asset information is not provided to the CODM. The Company has three operating segments, each identified by its unique products and services. Nonalcoholic Beverages represents the vast majority of the Company’s consolidated net sales and income from operations. The additional two operating segments, which include Data Ventures, Inc. and the Red Classic subsidiaries, do not meet the quantitative thresholds for separate reporting, either individually or in the aggregate, and, therefore, have been combined into “All Other.” The accounting policies of the Nonalcoholic Beverages segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies presented in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2024. The CODM uses net sales, gross profit and income from operations in the annual budgeting and forecasting process. Monthly, the CODM considers budget-to-actual variances and current year to prior year variances for these profit measures when making strategic business decisions and allocating resources to Company operations. The Company’s segment results are as follows: Third Quarter 2025 (in thousands) Nonalcoholic Beverages All Other Eliminations (1) Total Net sales $ 1,876,999 $ 85,702 $ (74,384) $ 1,888,317 Cost of goods sold 1,147,875 47,168 (55,242) 1,139,801 Gross profit 729,124 38,534 (19,142) 748,516 Selling, delivery and administrative expenses: Payroll costs (2) $ 314,529 $ 13,689 $ — $ 328,218 Fleet costs (3) 25,723 8,281 — 34,004 Depreciation and amortization expense (4) 29,137 552 — 29,689 All other segment items (5) 121,374 7,739 (19,142) 109,971 Total selling, delivery and administrative expenses 490,763 30,261 (19,142) 501,882 Income from operations $ 238,361 $ 8,273 $ — $ 246,634 Total depreciation and amortization expense (4) $ 49,993 $ 5,093 $ — $ 55,086 35 Third Quarter 2024 (in thousands) Nonalcoholic Beverages All Other Eliminations (1) Total Net sales $ 1,751,495 $ 86,230 $ (72,073) $ 1,765,652 Cost of goods sold 1,066,387 54,656 (53,427) 1,067,616 Gross profit 685,108 31,574 (18,646) 698,036 Selling, delivery and administrative expenses: Payroll costs (2) $ 297,420 $ 13,165 $ — $ 310,585 Fleet costs (3) 26,210 7,801 — 34,011 Depreciation and amortization expense (4) 25,859 497 — 26,356 All other segment items (5) 111,547 7,128 (18,646) 100,029 Total selling, delivery and administrative expenses 461,036 28,591 (18,646) 470,981 Income from operations $ 224,072 $ 2,983 $ — $ 227,055 Total depreciation and amortization expense (4) $ 44,511 $ 4,259 $ — $ 48,770 First Nine Months 2025 (in thousands) Nonalcoholic Beverages All Other Eliminations (1) Total Net sales $ 5,291,060 $ 242,900 $ (210,147) $ 5,323,813 Cost of goods sold 3,224,211 137,341 (155,855) 3,205,697 Gross profit 2,066,849 105,559 (54,292) 2,118,116 Selling, delivery and administrative expenses: Payroll costs (2) $ 875,401 $ 39,612 $ — $ 915,013 Fleet costs (3) 72,812 22,654 — 95,466 Depreciation and amortization expense (4) 86,517 1,637 — 88,154 All other segment items (5) 342,651 22,586 (54,292) 310,945 Total selling, delivery and administrative expenses 1,377,381 86,489 (54,292) 1,409,578 Income from operations $ 689,468 $ 19,070 $ — $ 708,538 Total depreciation and amortization expense (4) $ 147,427 $ 15,797 $ — $ 163,224 First Nine Months 2024 (in thousands) Nonalcoholic Beverages All Other Eliminations (1) Total Net sales $ 5,106,359 $ 260,930 $ (214,068) $ 5,153,221 Cost of goods sold 3,090,378 165,902 (158,364) 3,097,916 Gross profit 2,015,981 95,028 (55,704) 2,055,305 Selling, delivery and administrative expenses: Payroll costs (2) $ 843,169 $ 39,833 $ — $ 883,002 Fleet costs (3) 77,989 23,587 — 101,576 Depreciation and amortization expense (4) 76,398 1,485 — 77,883 All other segment items (5) 327,186 19,761 (55,704) 291,243 Total selling, delivery and administrative expenses 1,324,742 84,666 (55,704) 1,353,704 Income from operations $ 691,239 $ 10,362 $ — $ 701,601 Total depreciation and amortization expense (4) $ 131,332 $ 11,847 $ — $ 143,179 (1) The entire net sales elimination represents net sales from the All Other segment to the Nonalcoholic Beverages segment. The entire cost of goods sold and SD&A eliminations represent costs incurred by the All Other segment in the generation of net sales to the Nonalcoholic Beverages segment. (2) Payroll costs includes compensation, incentive plans, defined contribution plans, healthcare benefits and tax-advantaged spending accounts. (3) Fleet costs includes fleet repairs, maintenance and fuel and oil costs. 36 (4) Total depreciation and amortization expense is included within both cost of goods sold and SD&A expenses. For segment reporting, the difference between total depreciation and amortization expense and the portion within SD&A expenses is the amount within cost of goods sold. (5) All other segment items includes information technology costs, stewardship, insurance and other costs incurred in the selling and delivery of the Company’s products. Comparable and Adjusted Results (Non-GAAP) The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide users of the financial statements with additional, meaningful financial information that should be considered, in addition to the measures reported in accordance with GAAP, when assessing the Company’s ongoing performance. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating the Company’s performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s non-GAAP financial information does not represent a comprehensive basis of accounting.

Refer to the discussion in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for further details related to the Stock Split. (2) This non-cash, fair value adjustment of acquisition related contingent consideration fluctuates based on factors such as long-term interest rates and future cash flow projections of the distribution territories subject to acquisition related sub-bottling payments. (3) The Company enters into commodity derivative instruments from time to time to hedge some or all of its projected purchases of aluminum, PET resin, diesel fuel and unleaded gasoline in order to mitigate commodity price risk. The Company accounts for its commodity derivative instruments on a mark-to-market basis. Financial Condition Total assets were $5.67 billion as of September 26, 2025, which was an increase of $355.4 million from December 31, 2024. Net working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, was $1.45 billion as of September 26, 2025, which was an increase of $220.0 million from December 31, 2024. Significant changes in net working capital as of September 26, 2025 as compared to December 31, 2024 were as follows: • An increase in cash and cash equivalents of $396.6 million, primarily as a result of strong operating performance and net proceeds from the purchases, sales and maturities of short-term investments during the first nine months of 2025, partially offset by additions to property, plant and equipment and payments related to share repurchases. • A decrease in short-term investments of $152.1 million, primarily due to the sales and maturities of short-term investments in the third quarter of 2025. • An increase in accounts payable, trade of $27.5 million and an increase in accounts payable to The Coca-Cola Company of $40.4 million, primarily due to the timing of cash payments. • An increase in other accrued liabilities of $46.2 million, primarily driven by an increase in accrued interest on debt balances and an increase in the liability related to the acquisition related contingent consideration. • A decrease in accrued compensation of $33.0 million, primarily as a result of the timing of bonus and incentive payments in the first nine months of 2025. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company’s sources of capital include cash flows from operations, available credit facilities and the issuance of debt and equity securities. As of September 26, 2025, the Company had $1.53 billion in cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s cash 38 equivalent balance as of September 26, 2025 consisted predominantly of investments in money market funds, time deposits and commercial paper with maturities of 90 days or less. As of September 26, 2025, the Company had $149.1 million in short-term investments, which consisted primarily of U.S. Treasury securities and investment-grade corporate bonds with maturities of one year or less. The Company has obtained its debt from public markets, private placements and bank facilities. Management believes the Company has sufficient sources of capital available to finance its business plan, to meet its working capital requirements and to maintain an appropriate level of capital spending for at least the next 12 months from the issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements. In the third quarter of 2025, the Company retired 31,488,535 shares of Common Stock and 6,281,140 shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Class B Common Stock”), included in treasury stock. The retired treasury stock had a carrying value of approximately $162.6 million. The retirement of treasury stock was recorded as a reduction to Common Stock and Class B Common Stock at par value, with the excess of carrying value over par value recorded as a deduction from retained earnings. On March 4, 2025, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved a 10-for-1 forward stock split (the “Stock Split”) of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. The Stock Split was effected through an amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”). The Amendment also effected a proportionate increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. The Amendment obtained stockholder approval at the Company’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which took place on May 13, 2025. Each stockholder of record as of the close of business on May 16, 2025 received nine additional shares for each share of Common Stock or Class B Common Stock held as of such date reflected in the stockholder’s account on May 23, 2025. Trading began on a split-adjusted basis on May 27, 2025. The par value per share of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock remains unchanged. The Company is authorized to repurchase up to $1.00 billion of Common Stock through the share repurchase program approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and announced by the Company on August 20, 2024 (the “Share Repurchase Program”). The Company expects share repurchases to be made from time to time in the open market or through private transactions or block trades. The timing and amount of repurchases will depend on market conditions, the prevailing market price, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The share repurchase authorization is discretionary and has no expiration date. During the third quarter of 2025, the Company repurchased and retired 961,379 shares of Common Stock under the Share Repurchase Program for an aggregate purchase price of $113.8 million, excluding fees and expenses related to the share repurchases. As of September 26, 2025, the total remaining share repurchase authorization was $800.1 million. The Company’s debt as of September 26, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was as follows: (in thousands) Maturity Date September 26, 2025 December 31, 2024 Senior bonds (the “2025 Senior Bonds”) (1) 11/25/2025 $ 350,000 $ 350,000 Senior notes 10/10/2026 100,000 100,000 Senior bonds (the “2029 Senior Bonds”) (2) 6/1/2029 700,000 700,000 Revolving credit facility (3) 6/10/2029 — — Senior notes 3/21/2030 150,000 150,000 Senior bonds (the “2034 Senior Bonds”) (4) 6/1/2034 500,000 500,000 Unamortized discount on senior bonds (1)(2)(4) Various (1,271) (1,482) Debt issuance costs (10,345) (12,170) Total debt 1,788,384 1,786,348 Less: Current portion of debt (1) 349,945 349,699 Total long-term debt $ 1,438,439 $ 1,436,649 (1) The 2025 Senior Bonds were issued at 99.975% of par. As of September 26, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the 2025 Senior Bonds, net of debt issuance costs and unamortized discount, were classified as current portion of debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company intends to use cash on hand to repay the 2025 Senior Bonds at maturity. (2) The 2029 Senior Bonds were issued at 99.843% of par. (3) The Company’s revolving credit facility has an aggregate maximum borrowing capacity of $500 million. The Company currently believes all banks participating in the revolving credit facility have the ability to and will meet any funding requests from the Company. (4) The 2034 Senior Bonds were issued at 99.893% of par. 39 The indentures under which the 2025 Senior Bonds, the 2029 Senior Bonds and the 2034 Senior Bonds were issued do not include financial covenants, but do limit the incurrence of certain liens and encumbrances as well as indebtedness by the Company’s subsidiaries in excess of certain amounts. The agreements under which the Company’s nonpublic debt, including its revolving credit facility, was issued include two financial covenants: a consolidated cash flow/fixed charges ratio and a consolidated funded indebtedness/cash flow ratio, each as defined in the respective agreement. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of September 26, 2025. These covenants have not restricted, and are not expected to restrict, the Company’s liquidity or capital resources. All outstanding debt has been issued by the Company and none has been issued by any of its subsidiaries. There are no guarantees of the Company’s debt. The Company’s credit ratings are reviewed periodically by certain nationally recognized rating agencies. Changes in the Company’s operating results or financial position could result in changes in the Company’s credit ratings. Lower credit ratings could result in higher borrowing costs for the Company or reduced access to capital markets, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operating results or financial position. As of September 26, 2025, the Company’s credit ratings and outlook for its debt were as follows: Credit Rating Rating Outlook Moody’s Baa1 Stable Standard & Poor’s BBB+ Stable The Company’s Board of Directors has declared, and the Company has paid, dividends on the Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock and each class of common stock has participated equally in all dividends declared by the Board of Directors and paid by the Company for more than 30 years. The amount and frequency of future dividends will be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in light of the earnings and financial condition of the Company at such time, and no assurance can be given that dividends will be declared or paid in the future. We review supplier terms and conditions on an ongoing basis, and we have negotiated payment term extensions in recent years in connection with our efforts to improve cash flow and working capital. Separate from those term extension actions, the Company has an agreement with a third-party financial institution to facilitate a supply chain finance program (the “SCF program”), which allows qualifying suppliers to sell their receivables from the Company to the financial institution in order to negotiate shorter payment terms on their outstanding receivable arrangements. The Company’s obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment terms, are not impacted by a supplier’s participation in the SCF program. See Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information related to the SCF program. The Company’s only Level 3 asset or liability is the acquisition related contingent consideration liability. There were no transfers of assets or liabilities from Level 1 or Level 2 in any period presented. Fair value adjustments were non-cash and, therefore, did not impact the Company’s liquidity or capital resources. Following is a summary of the Level 3 activity: Third Quarter First Nine Months (in thousands) 2025 2024 2025 2024 Beginning balance - Level 3 liability $ 675,300 $ 657,246 $ 654,191 $ 669,337 Payments of acquisition related contingent consideration (16,430) (20,567) (51,639) (44,243) Reclassification to current payables (400) 300 800 (10,400) Increase in fair value 49,350 68,592 104,468 90,877 Ending balance - Level 3 liability $ 707,820 $ 705,571 $ 707,820 $ 705,571 40 Cash Sources and Uses A summary of cash-based activity is as follows: First Nine Months (in thousands) 2025 2024 Cash Sources: Net cash provided by operating activities (1) $ 722,913 $ 707,893 Proceeds from the disposal of short-term investments 506,646 72,232 Proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment 6,385 425 Proceeds from bond issuance — 1,200,000 Total cash sources $ 1,235,944 $ 1,980,550 Cash Uses: Purchases of short-term investments $ 350,003 $ 283,488 Additions to property, plant and equipment 209,994 287,333 Payments related to share repurchases 145,698 574,009 Cash dividends paid 65,310 163,733 Payments of acquisition related contingent consideration 51,639 44,243 Investment in equity method investees 14,709 9,794 Payments on financing lease obligations 1,675 1,848 Debt issuance fees 267 15,365 Total cash uses $ 839,295 $ 1,379,813 Net increase in cash and cash equivalents during period $ 396,649 $ 600,737 (1) Net cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of 2025 included net income tax payments of $150.3 million, net interest payments of $46.3 million and pension plan contributions of $5.0 million. Net cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of 2024 included net income tax payments of $171.2 million, net interest payments of $14.4 million and pension plan contributions of $2.0 million. Cash Flows From Operating Activities During the first nine months of 2025, cash provided by operating activities was $722.9 million, as compared to $707.9 million during the first nine months of 2024, which was an increase of $15.0 million. Cash Flows From Investing Activities During the first nine months of 2025, cash used in investing activities was $61.7 million, which was a decrease of $446.3 million as compared to the first nine months of 2024. The decline in cash used in investing activities was primarily a result of an increase in net proceeds from the purchases, sales and maturities of short-term investments of approximately $368 million as compared to the first nine months of 2024. Additions to property, plant and equipment were $210.0 million during the first nine months of 2025 and $287.3 million during the first nine months of 2024. The decrease in additions to property, plant and equipment was largely due to the purchase of our leased Nashville, Tennessee production facility for approximately $56 million during the third quarter of 2024. There were $24.0 million and $34.8 million of additions to property, plant and equipment accrued in accounts payable, trade as of September 26, 2025 and September 27, 2024, respectively. The additions to property, plant and equipment reflect the Company’s focus on optimizing its supply chain and investing for future growth. The Company anticipates additions to property, plant and equipment in 2025 will be approximately $300 million. Cash Flows From Financing Activities During the first nine months of 2025, cash used in financing activities was $264.6 million, as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $400.8 million during the first nine months of 2024. The primary driver of the change was the cash received from the issuance of $1.20 billion of bonds during the first nine months of 2024. Cash used in financing activities related to payments for share repurchases decreased from $574.0 million during the first nine months of 2024 to $145.7 million during the first nine months of 2025. Dividend payments decreased from $163.7 million during the first nine months of 2024 to 41 $65.3 million during the first nine months of 2025. Dividend payments during the first nine months of 2024 included special dividend payments of approximately $150 million. During the first nine months of 2025, we have returned approximately $211 million to stockholders through share repurchases and dividends. The Company had cash payments for acquisition related contingent consideration of $51.6 million during the first nine months of 2025 and $44.2 million during the first nine months of 2024. For the next five future years, the Company anticipates that the amount it could pay annually under the acquisition related contingent consideration arrangements for the distribution territories subject to acquisition related sub-bottling payments will be in the range of approximately $50 million to $80 million.
