Sep 29, 2016

Summary

Q3 organic revenue grew more than 4%, with margin expansion and core constant-currency EPS growth of 7% (11% excluding Venezuela). FY core EPS guidance rose to $4.78, supported by strong YTD results and productivity gains.

Good morning, and welcome to PepsiCo's third quarter 2016 earnings conference call. Your lines have been placed on listen-only until the question and answer session. In order to ask a question or make a comment, please press star followed by one on your touchtone phone at any time. You may remove yourself from the queue by pressing the pound key. Today's call is being recorded and will be archived at www.pepsico.com. It is now my pleasure to introduce Mr. Jamie Caulfield, Senior Vice President of Investor Relations. Mr. Caulfield, you may begin. Thank you, operator. With me today are Indra Nooyi, PepsiCo's Chairman and CEO, and Hugh Johnston, PepsiCo's CFO. We'll lead off today's call with a review of our third quarter 2016 performance and full year outlook, and then we'll move on to Q&A. We've kept our comments brief this morning and intend to conclude the call by 8:45. Before we begin, please take note of our cautionary statement. This conference call includes forward-looking statements, including statements regarding 2016 guidance based on currently available information. Forward-looking statements inherently involve risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those predicted. Statements made on this conference call should be considered together with cautionary statements and other information contained in today's earnings release and in our most recent periodic reports filed with the SEC. References to organic revenue results exclude the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures, structural changes, foreign exchange translation, and for the full year 2016, the impact of the 53rd week. To find disclosures and reconciliations of non-GAAP measures that we use when discussing our financial results, you should refer to the glossary and other attachments to this morning's earnings release and to the investor section of PepsiCo's website under the events and presentations tab. As we discuss today's results, please keep in mind that our third quarter comprises the 12 weeks ended September 3rd for our North American operations and the three months of June through August for most of our operations outside of North America. Now it's my pleasure to introduce Indra Nooyi. Thank you, Jamie. I'm pleased to report our businesses continue to perform well in the third quarter. Specifically, we had more than 3% organic volume growth in global snacks and more than 2% organic volume growth in global beverages. While foreign exchange translation continued to pressure our reported revenue results, we delivered more than 4% organic revenue growth, which represents an acceleration from the first half. We generated positive net price realization in total. We stepped up investment in our brands with A&M up 65 basis points as a percentage of net revenue and made incremental marketplace investments. We expanded gross and operating margins. We grew core constant currency operating profit 2% and up 6% excluding the impact of deconsolidating Venezuela. Core constant currency EPS grew 7% and up 11% excluding the Venezuela impact. Our performance was well-balanced by market type. Our developing and emerging market businesses grew organic revenue 8% for the quarter, with double-digit organic revenue growth in a number of markets, including China, Mexico, Brazil, and Egypt. Our developed markets grew organic revenue 3%, led by Frito-Lay North America and North American beverages. Year-to-date, our results are equally strong. Core constant currency operating profit grew 5% and up 8% excluding the impact of deconsolidating Venezuela. Core constant currency EPS grew 7% and up 11% excluding the Venezuela impact. On the strength of our year-to-date results and our outlook for the fourth quarter, we have increased our full-year core EPS target to $4.78 from our previous target of $4.71, driven by the expectations and factors set out in this morning's press release. In addition to our financial results, we are also delivering on other key performance metrics. Innovation ran at approximately 9% of net revenue in the quarter. Advertising and marketing is up another 60 basis points as a percent of net revenue year-to-date. Execution metrics are improving across the board, driving growth for us and our retail partners. For example, in the third quarter in the U.S., which is our largest market, we were once again the largest contributor to retail food and beverage sales growth. We generated approximately 37% of all food and beverage retail sales growth, significantly higher than our food and beverage dollar share position of less than 10%. We generated more retail sales growth than all other $5 billion-plus food and beverage manufacturers combined. We are on track to deliver $1 billion in productivity savings in 2016, and we are on track to deliver $7 billion in free cash flow excluding certain items. Our results reflect our commitment to Performance with Purpose, PepsiCo's vision to deliver top-tier financial performance over the long term by integrating sustainability into our business strategy. When we launched Performance with Purpose in 2006, we opted not to view sustainability simply through the lens of corporate social responsibility. Instead, we charted a course rooted in the firm belief that in order to meet the changing needs of our consumers, exercise responsible stewardship for our environment, and create an environment within our company where each employee feels valued and can bring their whole selves to work, we had to transform the way we do business, weaving sustainability into the way we make money. A decade into our journey, that belief is being validated and is propelling our company forward as this quarter's financial results demonstrate. On the purpose side of Performance with Purpose, our first commitment was human sustainability, transforming our product portfolio with a particular focus on reducing sodium, saturated fats, and added sugars while dialing up our nutrition investments. We are pleased with the progress we have made. As compared to 2006, we have reduced the average sodium in our food products by 11% per serving and removed more than 2,300 metric tons of sodium from key global food brands in key countries. We have reduced the average amount of saturated fat per serving by more than 15% in key global brands in a number of our major markets, including the U.S., U.K., China, and Turkey. We are making strides to reduce added sugars in our beverages through reformulation. Our transformation efforts to date have resulted in a portfolio where we derive approximately 45% of our net revenue from products that we refer to as guilt-free. Those products include diet and other beverages that are below 70 calories per 12 ounces, and snacks with low levels of sodium and saturated fat. A full 27 points of the 45 points is made up of what we refer to as everyday nutrition, which are products with positive nutrients like grains, fruits and vegetables, protein, unsweetened tea, and water. Our innovation focus reflects our commitment to portfolio transformation. Just to give you a few examples. Recently, we launched Quaker Super Goodness porridge sachets in the U.K. made with whole grain oats, quinoa, barley, and flaxseed, and introduced Carrot Pineapple Mango Tropicana Farmstand in the U.S. made with 100% fruit and vegetable juices and no added sugar. Sabra, built on the strength of our highly popular hummus, has established a range of authentic products that include guacamole, salsa, baba ganoush, and Greek yogurt dips and spreads. Sabra now generates approximately $800 million in estimated annual retail sales in the United States, well on its way to becoming a billion-dollar brand. Our Naked super premium fruit and vegetable juices and coconut waters are loved by consumers for their great flavor, all natural ingredients, and no added sugars or preservatives. We have doubled Naked's net revenue over the last six years and grown estimated annual retail sales to over $1 billion. We recently extended the Naked lineup with the introduction of Naked cold press juices. Propel Water, by the makers of Gatorade, a zero-calorie sports hydration beverage enriched with electrolytes and minerals, is enjoying renewed success in North America with year-to-date volume up 6%. We've also successfully expanded what we refer to as our guilt-free product lineup. Pure Leaf Tea is an example. A premium line of ready-to-drink teas, brewed and steeped simply and authentically from leaves picked at their freshest. Since its launch in 2012, Pure Leaf has grown to more than $650 million in estimated annual retail sales. We are now elevating Pure Leaf into a super premium line under the Teahouse Collection. Our Baked lineup is another example of how we are transforming our portfolio. Spurred by the success of Baked Lay's, we have broadened our Baked lineup to include Baked Doritos, Baked Tostitos, and Baked Cheetos, and have expanded the lineup to nine international markets where there's a lot of opportunity for further growth and market expansion. We recently launched Stubborn Soda, a new generation premium crafted sparkling beverage that is just 90-100 calories per 12 ounces and is made with Fair Trade Certified cane sugar and stevia with no high fructose corn syrup. It's the breadth of our evolving product portfolio and our ability to innovate against it that enables us to generate consistent organic revenue growth. Likewise, under Performance with Purpose, our environmental sustainability agenda has had positive impacts, both on our business results and, more broadly, on the planet we share. By using fewer resources, water, packaging, and energy, we are simultaneously shrinking our environmental footprint and reducing our operating costs. We've improved our water stewardship by adopting new technologies and processes, which have steadily reduced our water use per unit of production. We've implemented integrated watershed management in water-stressed and water-scarce areas. As a result, today we're using approximately 25% less water per unit of production than we did when we embarked on Performance with Purpose. In addition, we have supported growers in our value chain in their pursuits of better water use management. Through the PepsiCo Foundation, we have successfully partnered to provide access to safe water for more than 9 million people globally. We're also using less packaging and generating less landfill waste. We have successfully reduced packaging weight and size and increased post-consumer recycled content in our packaging. By reducing packaging weight and size, we removed almost 100 million pounds of packaging materials from the market in 2015 alone. We have worked to increase the recycling rates of beverage containers among consumers, and we have significantly reduced the amount of solid waste generated by our operations that are sent to landfills, achieving a rate of over 90% solid waste diversion away from landfills in 2015. We've reduced greenhouse gas emissions by focusing on energy use and renewable energy and by modernizing our fleet with more fuel-efficient vehicles, routing, and capacity utilization. In fact, compared to 2006, we've improved the energy efficiency of our legacy operations by 18%. Taken together, our environmental sustainability initiatives have not only had a significant positive impact on our planet, but they've also contributed to our productivity savings. Over the past 5 years, our sustainability initiatives have generated more than $600 million in savings, because we are simply using fewer resources in our businesses. Combining our environmental sustainability savings with those of our other productivity initiatives, we are generating more than $1 billion in annual productivity savings. These savings are both providing fuel for reinvestment in the business and contributing to consistent margin improvement. We continue to invest in and promote initiatives to protect and support the safety, health, professional development, and human rights of our global workforce. This includes promoting women's equal advancement and fostering a diverse and engaging culture that attracts the talent base needed to grow our high-performing business. We view our sustained top-tier results as a validation of our Performance with Purpose direction, where we are balancing short-term results with ensuring PepsiCo remains successful for the long term. In the coming weeks, we will issue our annual sustainability report, where we will share with you in much more detail our progress and accomplishments under Performance with Purpose. Just as important, we will lay out our sustainability vision and goals for the coming decade and our pledge to make our products more nutritious, our food system more sustainable, and our communities more prosperous. In doing so, we will pave the way for PepsiCo's continued growth. With that, let me turn it over to Hugh Johnston. Hugh? Thank you, Indra, and good morning, everyone. As Indra mentioned, we are very pleased with our year-to-date performance. We are seeing a good mix of revenue and productivity within the P&L, driving the top line and margin results mentioned earlier, and we continue to exercise strong cash flow management and capital allocation discipline. As a result, in the third quarter, we once again shortened our cash conversion cycle, in this case by almost 10 days compared to Q3 of 2015, and we maintained our net capital spending on a rolling four-quarter basis well within our target of 5% of net revenue. I am also pleased to report that we remain on track to return approximately $7 billion to shareholders in 2016 through a combination of $3 billion in share repurchases and $4 billion of dividends. During Q3, with the June payment, we increased our annualized dividends per share by 7%, which marks our 44th consecutive annualized increase. Looking to the balance of the year, as we mentioned, we increased our full-year core EPS target to $4.78, which incorporates the following. Underlying core constant currency EPS growth of 10%, excluding the impact of Venezuela, an approximate two percentage point negative impact from the 2015 Venezuela deconsolidation, and an approximate three percentage point negative impact from foreign exchange translation based on current market consensus, which is an improvement of approximately one percentage point versus our July update. Our outlook on the other metrics we provide remain unchanged from July and are set out in this morning's release. For the analysts on the call, as you update your Q4 models, you should consider the following factors. The inclusion of the 53rd week in this fiscal year will benefit our full-year revenue results by approximately one percentage point, but is not expected to result in any impact to our core earnings per share, as we intend to reinvest the benefits back into our business. Our Q4 foreign exchange outlook implies a moderation of the headwind as compared to what we have experienced year to date, but this assumption is obviously subject to macro and geopolitical conditions, which remain quite volatile. Given the timing of our commodity hedges, we face a difficult year-over-year gross margin expansion comparison in Q4. While we are lapping a large increase in A&M spending as a percentage of net revenue in the fourth quarter, we expect to continue to invest in A&M. While our full-year tax rate guidance remains unchanged, we will be lapping an unusually low core effective tax rate from Q4 2015. To summarize, our core constant currency earnings per share outlook for 2016 has improved from our last call, and we continue our focus on disciplined capital allocation and cash returns to shareholders. With that operator, we will take the first question. Thank you. Once again, in order to ask a question or make a comment, please press star followed by one on your touch-tone phone at any time. Our first question is coming from Dara Mohsenian with Morgan Stanley. Morning, Dara. Hey, good morning. So, 10% full-year core EPS growth guidance for this year is really pretty impressive given the type of environment we're in, and that even assumes you don't beat again in Q4 like you have been recently. It looks like much greater SG&A leverage is driving this year in particular when compared to the prior few years. I guess, can you talk about what's driving that greater SG&A leverage, particularly given it looks like A&M will be up again solidly this year? And I'm assuming the answer is productivity, perhaps a bit less onerous FX. But on the productivity side, is the ramp up kind of sustainable versus the past years, and how should we think about it going forward? On the other hand, on the gross margin side, obviously very strong expansion the last few years. It did slow a bit sequentially this quarter, I'm assuming with less favorable commodities. But as we look out to Q4 and 2017, perhaps you can give us some guidance around commodities and how that impacts gross margins. Thanks. Dara, we're not going to talk about 2017 today, but let me just take a shot at the first question you asked, and then Hugh, you might want to add whatever you want to. On the SG&A leverage, it all starts first with top-line growth. The minute you get good top-line growth, you get leverage on all of the other SG&A costs that we have in the P&L. This quarter was a very, very good top-line growth at 4.2%. That's pretty significant, and that gives us leverage to start with. Couple that with the fact that many of our productivity programs, which we put in place very deliberately. It wasn't a productivity program where we just cut the cost for the sake of cutting the cost. We actually built the underlying capability, so when we take out the cost, they come out for good. Putting in the ERP systems, putting the right tools to ensure visibility across the company, all of that took some money. We invested so that we could take out the costs permanently. Slowly by, step by step, all of these costs are coming out in a very deliberate and a disciplined way. The combination of the two gives us the SG&A leverage. The key thing to remember is that over a year or two years, the overall P&L works very well. Quarter to quarter, you might have different aspects of the P&L delivering differently. One quarter it might be gross margin, another quarter it might be SG&A leverage. But I think over a long period of time, the P&L seems to be working quite well. I don't know, Hugh, do you want to add anything to that? Yeah, I think you covered most of it, Indra. Two small items that I would add that I think are worth mentioning. Number one, the investments we've made in technology are not just making our selling system more productive by putting not just handhelds in the tool in the hands of our route salesmen, but actually putting iPads in the hands of our district managers, enabling them to be more effective and to manage more, basically with the same or less resources. The same is true of management more broadly in the G&A bucket. By virtue of leveraging the technology advancements that are out there, we're making our management, frankly, more productive, and that's enabled us to do more with less. The other item that I would point to is we implemented smart spending really late last year and into this year, and we are seeing the benefits of that, whether it's across travel or consultants or facilities. We have gotten smarter with our spending, and as a result, you're seeing flow-through of that productivity into margin improvement. I think the part that we all feel good about is that the smart spending program, the emphasis was on smart. We wanted to make sure that we never cut into top-line driving initiatives. I think we are succeeding doing that. Our next question comes from the line of Bryan Spillane with Bank of America. Hey, good morning, everyone. Thanks. I've got a question, I guess, just related to if you can talk a little bit and give us some color on how, especially developing and emerging markets sort of performed in the quarter, and maybe whether or not you've got a you're beginning to see maybe some recovery or some stabilization in some markets. You've got the With oil prices up in Russia, it seems like we've heard the consumer a little bit better there. Just given the 5% organic sales growth you had in Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa and AMENA and 10% in Latin America, just can you give a little bit more color in terms of some of the performance there and whether you think maybe things have maybe stabilized or begun to bottom out there would be helpful. Thank you. We are in a troubled global economic environment, but in spite of that, I'd say a lot of the emerging developing markets in Q3 showed some signs of improvement. Whether they last or not, we don't know, but at this point, they're looking pretty good. Russia, we did see some improvement. The Pacific Rim, good economies, all from the entire ASEAN world, if you want to put it that way. India is looking good. Even China is looking much better than it did in the early part of the year. I'm just talking overall economics, not just our business. Then if you come over to Europe. Russia, clearly, we are seeing signs of improvement, and this is even before the oil prices started to stabilize and improve. East Europe still looks all right. Western Europe is not getting worse, so that's a good sign. When you come to Latin America, look, we have good businesses there. There's no question Argentina had a troubled year. Brazil is having its share of troubles. But I'd say that overall, the economy seemed to be holding up, but more importantly, our businesses seem to be performing quite well because retailers turn to us to deliver more of the growth because we have high velocity categories, and we take labor off the store through our DSD systems. So I think retailers are turning more and more to us to deliver a lot of the growth. Overall, I'd say cautiously optimistic about emerging and developing markets. Our next question comes from the line of Ali Dibadj with Bernstein. Hey, guys. Hi. I have a set of questions about the balance between price and mix and volume, and then just a question about bottling. First on the price mix part, would love to get your sense around North America and AMENA specifically. NAB volumes up, which is great. But assuming kind of innovation, there's a lot of pre-innovation, it sounded like, and that was good. Channel shift for better weather would have suggested to me at least a little bit of a more positive price mix kind of tailwind as well. But the price mix is only up 1%, so I want to get a sense there. Negative price mix in AMENA continues, arguably getting a little worse given easier compares. Just on those two, would love to get a sense of that. Then separately, on bottling, I guess it's sort of related, I guess, but on bottling, would love to get a sense of how you're thinking about the right structure from a bottling perspective given ABI got approved. Do you care about blue and red under one roof? Do you even mind? Then if you- Go to North America specifically, have you seen any kind of competitive disruptions, positive or negative, in the Coca-Cola refranchisement of the bottling? Sorry for a lot there, but thank you. I'm just going to answer this last question, then toss it to Hugh to talk about price mix and volume. We aren't going to comment about the ABI deal closing with SABMiller and the consequences for overall partnership. But let me talk about the North American situation. We're playing an operating game, and we're pretty successful in playing a game where we own a large portion of our bottling system. We leverage power of one. Our retailers seem to be quite happy with the service that we're providing. And we are driving a lot of growth for them because we are able to service them exceedingly well. That is our strategy, and that's how we're going to continue going forward. Let me turn it to Hugh to talk about price mix and volume, Hugh. Yeah, happy to. Good morning, Ali. Regarding North America, price mix was one, but it was actually a strong one. I think the number was exactly 1.3. And that is, as you said, a combination of price mix. We are continuing to get good pricing in carbonated soft drinks. The couple of factors I would remind you of is we do have deflationary commodities right now, so you are seeing a little bit less of that pricing flow through into retailers as we have deflationary commodities. The other is we do have a negative water mix going on. So on the one hand, non-carbs were quite positive, but a portion of that was water, which is obviously from a price mix perspective, negative. So in total, with the 1.3 of price mix that we got, along with good productivity, you saw a profit of 10% in the quarter. We think we have got a very healthy mix of pricing and productivity in that market right now. And frankly, we see nothing but rational pricing going on in the marketplace. Regarding AMENA, a couple of factors there. Number one, we did see some bottlers reducing their concentrate inventories. So the volume number that you see relative to the revenue number is in part driven by the fact that volume is driven by bottler case sales, and revenue is driven by concentrate shipments. So the numbers are not quite as negative as they look in terms of what flows through the balance of the P&L. In addition to that, the pricing was not particularly high in India, both in the snacks and in the beverage businesses, and those were both factors in the numbers for the quarter. Our next question comes from the line of Bill Schmitz with Deutsche Bank. Hi, good morning. Morning, Bill. Hey, can you just talk a little bit more about the sources and sustainability of NAB growth? You are obviously doing a great job with Gatorade. It looks like the whole category is lifting quite a bit. I am just curious how much do you think that is really good marketing and good activation versus maybe some favorable weather? Then, perhaps September trends since the quarter ended so early this year. I think NAB has been doing a great job in terms of innovation. Very sensible marketing programs, and then execution has improved quarter by quarter. I am very proud of this NAB team. Clearly, Gatorade has done very well. Our marketing programs are good. Execution is very good. It has been a good summer. All of those together did drive the growth of all beverages and definitely Gatorade. As far as the rest of the categories go, we are playing the long game. We want to play the total beverage portfolio because we want to make sure that we go where the consumer is going. Teas are up, coffee is doing well, hydration is doing well. Products like Kickstart, which are sort of soft energy products, I would say, are doing well. I think overall, our business is doing quite well, and we are gaining LRV share, which is really our focus. Lastly, food service is doing well. It is an area that we underperformed in many years ago with the bottlers coming back in. We have reinvested in food service, and that is growing, too. Overall, I would say innovation, incredible focus on execution, followed by productivity. All three are delivering good results in NAB. Indra, the only thing I would add to that, and Bill, you mentioned it specifically, we didn't, but I would not overrate the impact of weather in the summer. Well, it's undoubtedly true; it was a very hot summer. Last summer was also a very hot summer, so I'm not sure it was a particularly large overlap. You didn't hear us talk about weather in Q2 when it was cool in the spring. You won't hear us talk much about weather right now. We're focused on the things we can control, as Indra mentioned in her opening. Our next question comes from the line of Stephen Powers with UBS. Great. Thanks. I was hoping you could help us bridge the margins, particularly in your North American businesses, which is where we saw the particular strength. Obviously, you cited revenue management productivity benefits as key drivers overall, and I'm assuming that applies in Frito-Lay and NAB as well, offset by those A&P investments. But harking back maybe to Dara's original question, could you size for us also the commodity tailwinds specifically in North American segments? Obviously, overall, they were inflationary, but there they seem to have helped. I'm just curious as to how much. Yeah, Steve, good morning. This is Hugh. As we disclosed in the release this morning, North America had slightly deflationary commodities. From that perspective, it was undoubtedly a tailwind, but not a huge tailwind. The bigger drivers were, number one, pricing, as you saw, and as I mentioned earlier, we had one three in North America beverages. In snacks, we had about a point and a half to two points of pricing. The balance of it was really productivity, whether it was continuing to expand our automation programs, continuing to leverage technology in SG&A, continuing to leverage smart spending to manage our non-labor costs in operating expense down. The big drivers were just flow-through off of that productivity to deliver the positive margin result, while at the same time, investing significantly more money in advertising and marketing to drive all of the product innovation that is enabling the top line. In sum, we really do have this virtuous cycle going in that is typically a sign of success in the CPG space. Our next question comes from the line of Kevin Grundy with Jefferies. Good morning. Morning, Kevin. Two unrelated questions, if I may. First, back to NAB, I was hoping you could comment on one specific aspect of the competitive environment, and that is Monster's launch of Mutant, which will be targeting Mountain Dew. To the extent you can, expectations there and any specific spending or programs you may have in place behind the Mountain Dew brand. Then unrelated to that, you guys spoke to productivity, and you've done a tremendous job there. We are a couple of years into the $5 billion program that you announced. Is it still your expectation that the remaining 3 billion will be realized fairly ratably through 2019? I know there's a tremendous amount of uncertainty with respect to commodities and FX, et cetera, but how are you thinking today with respect to the flow through to earnings relative to advertising and marketing levels? Then as productivity has become a bigger part of the company's culture, how are you thinking about potentially exceeding that target? Thank you. Kevin, I think first of all, we want to deliver on what we promised. The five-year, $5 billion program, that's a big productivity program, and we are singularly focused on delivering that five-year, $5 billion program. And we're pretty confident we will. The first two years has been good, and as is typical of us at PepsiCo, as we think about delivering the five-year, $5 billion program, we're constantly looking for new ways to deliver more productivity. But at this point, it's five-year, $5 billion, and we're doing just fine along those lines. In terms of Monster and Mutant, hey, there can only be one Mountain Dew. I think there's only one Mountain Dew. And we are focused on growing Mountain Dew. And if I were you, I'd go buy a Mountain Dew and enjoy it. Our next question comes from the line of Robert Ottenstein with Evercore ISI. Morning. This is Theo Brito for Robert Ottenstein. You mentioned on the release incremental investments in, particularly in Quaker, ESSA, and AMENA, and I was hoping you could clarify or provide some color around those, please. Thank you. Yeah, the incremental investments in those markets as well as elsewhere really fall into three categories. Number one is around advertising and marketing to support the innovation that we've launched. Number two is research and development to enable us to accelerate our innovation into 2017 and beyond. Number three is investments that will enable us to continue to drive productivity across the P&L. Without getting into the specifics of each of those individual markets, those are the three big buckets in which we're investing. Our next question comes from the line of Laurent Grandet with Credit Suisse. Morning, Laurent. Good morning, everyone. I do have a question regarding innovation. You mentioned innovation representing about 9% of your net revenue. Could you give us a bit more color about the split between beverages and snacks, or U.S. versus international? I think it is all balanced across the board. I would say in some of the emerging and developing markets, it runs higher than 9% because we take products developed in the developed markets, and we send it there. I would say on balance, it is plus or minus 1%, around 9, in terms of emerging, developing, and developed markets, and then beverages and snacks. Thank you all for your questions. In closing, let me just say that we are confident we have the right strategies in place, and we are executing very well. We are pleased with our results for the quarter and year to date. We are on track to deliver our targets for the year, and we look forward to sharing with you our sustainability vision and goals for the coming decade in the weeks ahead. As always, thank you for the trust you have placed in us with your investment. We remain absolutely committed to increasing its value. Thank you.
