Economic profit = NOPAT – Cost of capital × Invested capital
= × =


The financial data reveals several notable trends over the four-year period from 2018 to 2021. The net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT) demonstrates a significant upward trend, nearly tripling from 903 million US dollars in 2018 to 2588 million US dollars by the end of 2021. This indicates improved operational efficiency and profitability over the period.

Concurrently, the cost of capital shows a gradual increase, rising from 8.74% in 2018 to 9.45% in 2021. This upward trend suggests a slightly higher risk environment or increased capital costs that the company faces when financing its operations or investments.

The level of invested capital remains relatively stable throughout the period, hovering around the 44 billion US dollars mark with minimal fluctuations. This stability in invested capital indicates that the company maintained a consistent asset base, neither significantly expanding nor contracting its investments.

Despite the increase in NOPAT, the economic profit remains negative for all years, although there is a clear improvement over time. The economic loss decreases from -2996 million US dollars in 2018 to -1580 million US dollars in 2021. This improvement suggests that while the firm's profitability is increasing, it is still not sufficient to exceed the cost of capital and generate positive economic profit.

Net Operating Profit After Taxes (NOPAT)
Strong growth from 903 to 2588 million US dollars over four years, indicating increased operational profitability.
Cost of Capital
Gradual increase from 8.74% to 9.45%, reflecting higher financing costs or risk premiums.
Invested Capital
Relatively stable around 44 billion US dollars, demonstrating consistent investment levels.
Economic Profit
Negative throughout but improving significantly, from -2996 million to -1580 million US dollars, pointing to better operating performance though still below the cost of capital.

Overall, the data suggests a company making operational gains and improving profitability, yet still facing challenges in achieving returns above its capital costs. Stability in invested capital combined with rising NOPAT and cost of capital highlights the importance of further efficiency improvements or strategic initiatives to convert economic losses into positive value creation.

The financial performance over the four-year period demonstrates a notably positive trend in profitability measures.

Net Income Attributable to KDP
The net income attributable to the company increased substantially, starting at 586 million US dollars in 2018 and rising to 2,146 million US dollars by the end of 2021. This represents a more than threefold increase over the period, with a particularly strong jump between 2020 and 2021, where net income grew by approximately 62%. The steady increases in the prior years reflect consistent growth in profitability.
Net Operating Profit After Taxes (NOPAT)
NOPAT also exhibited strong growth, increasing from 903 million US dollars in 2018 to 2,588 million US dollars in 2021. The year-over-year increases indicate robust operating profitability improvements, with the most significant rise observed in the last year, mirroring the trend seen in net income. The growth rate from 2020 to 2021 was approximately 45%, demonstrating enhanced operational efficiency and effective tax management contributing to increased net operating profits.

Overall, the data indicates significant and sustained financial improvement in key profitability metrics, with the largest gains occurring in the most recent year. This suggests successful management strategies and operational execution leading to stronger earnings and operational results over time.

The financial data reveals the trends in tax-related expenses over the four-year period ending December 31, 2021. There is an upward trajectory in both the provision for income taxes and cash operating taxes, though the growth rates and amounts vary between these two categories.

Provision for Income Taxes
This figure rose from 202 million US dollars in 2018 to 653 million US dollars in 2021. The largest year-over-year increase occurred between 2020 and 2021, with an increase of 225 million US dollars. The provision more than tripled over the four years, indicating a substantial increase in income tax expenses recognized during this period.
Cash Operating Taxes
Cash operating taxes demonstrated a consistent upward trend, increasing from 381 million US dollars in 2018 to 733 million US dollars in 2021. The increase across the period was approximately 92%, with the most significant jump occurring between 2018 and 2019 (224 million US dollars). The growth in cash taxes paid suggests rising tax obligations or improved tax payment alignments within the company.

Overall, the data reflects a significant increase in both accrued income tax provisions and actual cash tax payments over the examined period. The increases may be indicative of growing profitability, changes in tax regulation, or alterations in financial strategies related to tax expenses. The sharper rise in the provision for income taxes in the final year suggests a possible anticipation of higher tax liability.

8 Subtraction of construction-in-progress.


The financial data reveals a consistent trend in the company's capital structure over the analyzed period from 2018 to 2021. There is a clear decline in the total reported debt and leases, indicating a steady reduction in liabilities.

Total reported debt & leases
Starting at 16,236 million US dollars in 2018, this figure decreases each year, reaching 13,266 million US dollars by the end of 2021. This downward trend suggests a strategic effort to reduce financial leverage or improve the balance sheet strength.
Stockholders’ equity
Stockholders' equity shows a gradual increase across the same timeframe, moving from 22,533 million US dollars in 2018 to 24,972 million US dollars in 2021. This incremental rise indicates growth in the company’s net assets, which may reflect retained earnings accumulation or capital infusions.
Invested capital
Invested capital remains relatively stable, fluctuating slightly without a clear upward or downward trajectory. It begins at 44,635 million US dollars in 2018, decreases marginally to 43,835 million US dollars in 2020, and recovers slightly to 44,109 million US dollars in 2021. This stability may imply consistent investment levels despite changing debt and equity components.

Overall, the reduction in debt combined with the increase in equity suggests an improvement in the financial robustness and potentially a lower risk profile. The steadiness of invested capital implies that the company maintained its asset base, possibly reflecting controlled investment or capital expenditure activities balanced by depreciation or disposals.
