Final-quarter revenue $1.93B 13% of company revenue
Explicit segment contribution $11.29B EBITDA less segment capex, before corporate items

Henrique Braun's first full quarter as chief executive delivered 5% global unit case volume growth led by India, China, the United States and Brazil, with the FIFA World Cup activation contributing to 5% Trademark Coca-Cola volume growth and 8% Powerade volume growth. The case is that the marketing machine converts events into cases, and that concentrate-led growth - four points of concentrate against two of price and mix - is more durable than the pricing-led growth of the prior two years. The lift is put where the volume actually is, on Asia Pacific and Latin America, rather than spread evenly. What this case does not reach: the World Cup does not repeat in the second half, the company itself says concentrate shipments will lag volume by a further point in the third quarter, and none of it touches the day-count or African bottling arithmetic that shapes the fourth.

Assumptions & reasoning

  • The Q4 factor is the least stable number in this model. The two annual windows put it at 0.886 and 0.783, a spread of 0.103 against an amplitude of 0.261. The shipped vector uses the 0.835 average: the direction of the Q4 trough is reliable, its depth is not, and the vertical is 11% of group revenue so the bounded error is about 0.6% of the group.
  • Volume is arriving and revenue per case is not. Price/mix has been negative and the terminal growth rate of 0.8% a quarter assumes that continues to offset most of the volume leverage rather than assuming it resolves.
  • Segment capital expenditure was zero in the basis quarter, so the capex intensity is an honest zero rather than an omission.
