Pepsico Guidance and Outlook The Company provides guidance on a non-GAAP basis as we cannot predict certain elements which are included in reported GAAP results, including the impact of foreign exchange translation and commodity mark-to-market net impacts. Consistent with its previous guidance for 2024, the Company continues to expect: • At least 4 percent increase in organic revenue; • At least 8 percent increase in core constant currency EPS; • A core annual effective tax rate of 20 percent; and • Total cash returns to shareholders of approximately $8.2 billion, comprised of dividends of $7.2 billion and share repurchases of $1.0 billion.
