Our first question comes from the line of Dara Mohsenian of Morgan Stanley.

[noise], Hi, gentlemen, hope you're well in this environment.

So remote I just wanted to touch on the market share opportunity in in snacks and beverages going forward.

It sounded like the momentum was pretty strong through February pre Copenhagen and into Kogut environment.

But I was hoping you could discuss if there's opportunity for improved share structurally longer term as you look coming out of the covert crisis theoretically in snacks, there's a shift the larger trusted brands, which is in your wheelhouse and you've got the DSD distribution advantage. So retailer in consumer standpoint, there could potentially be.

Just shift there.

And then in beverages theoretically less exposure to the away from home channel in some of your competitors should enable you to invest behind the business. So just sort of curious if you could run through how your positioning yourselves for.

Marketshare advantages coming out as of this covert crisis and if you think there could be some structural improvement longer term beyond what you've already seen over the last year. So.

Yeah, I would want in Europe [noise].

Yes, it's a.

Hi, Good question I, obviously in a in a moment in win.

You know, it's hard to predict where the the category will go right in the coming months, then share of market because clearly the number one priority for the organization and as you were saying the investments we made into business last year. Both in our you know structural capabilities about also.

The strength of our brands and and you know in particular markets you gave us a lot of momentum and.

As you saw in Q1, it was our fastest growing.

Quarter in a long time, even if you deduct the the last couple of weeks, where we had a positive impact from the stockpiling in the U.S.

So you you will if you wanted to ask our people underground a share of market is the key valuable we see ourselves as you were saying.

And it's a moment or a large brands that people try just strong supply chains and go to market today, we have very importantly, the.

Talented people that we have in the marketplace experience and very talented I think superior teams probably in the marketplace should give us.

And edge in terms of competing and is a few months ahead of us where that's going to be a lot of volatility and being a died on strong I think it's going it it's going to be it is very positive are very positive the opportunity for us.

Your next question comes from the line of Brian Splaine at Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

Hey, good morning, everyone and maybe just a follow up on direct question as.

Listening to the the recorded message I guess, what I took away from it was.

No there's going to be still some investment in F G and aided year some of it in response to the environment.

Some of it may be the opportunistic in terms of market share gain so I guess.

It is that correct characterization of it as we're thinking about as your unfolds and third the pressure points of distress isn't the PM now you're going to sort of spend enough DNA that year, because you want the business the exit stronger and also there is gonna be some investment.

I'd like to adapt to the Barb.

Yeah.

Hi, Brian Good morning.

They are of course, where where.

I mean, we're working on investment position and we're very selective obviously were put into investments and I'm trying to go for the highest ROI or investments everywhere around the world and the different categories.

We're not planning to change that position, even you know we might have opportunities ahead advise that you know tell is that by the best decision would be to even double down on some of those market opportunities, where we can take a maybe a short term advantage now and which will be a structural.

Gains for for long term.

On the other hand, we're looking at all in all our discretionary costs with a lot of intensity and as we said on that note, we're looking holistically and very intentionally.

At a necessary costs in our PNM at this point, both obviously to things are unnecessary, we're going to we're going to stop them, but also to have the flexibility to reallocate into areas of the business, where we see acceleration for example, we're seen obviously as you're hearing from everybody else E Commerce.

There's been a Ah you know a high growth a channel that these fine. So we're reallocating resources from other parts of the P.M.L. into E commerce and capturing consumers in that particular channel and then obviously will be keep investing to retain those consumers as they probably stay in the E Commerce, where.

There are some brands are benefiting from from these are more consumption at home like Quaker well del <unk> I think we want to invest in some of those brands that are getting consumer tailwinds now because we're going to retain those consumers with the brands as we as we exit the the crisis situation. So.

Yes, our mentality was going into the crisis was a and mentality of Ah attack I think we continue to be on the attack I'd say mentality, obviously put in some.

The strong criteria of ROI to those investments and and being very very kind of a staff with the every single line of our Biennale to make sure that whatever is unnecessary isn't up there anymore.

Your next question comes from the line up Bonnie Herzog Goldman Sachs.

Thank you good morning.

I am I bet you question for you guys on energy drink you know you're certainly stepping up your gain here with the announcement you made this morning to distribute thing so hoping you could give us a little more color on.

How you're going to manage the energy category with a different brand now you've got a rock star and now disturbing thing and then eventually mountain too. So curious to hear you know how you're going to prioritize these different brand and how you see the different positioning of them and then could you guys give us a sense as to.

Do you know how youre going to hit the ground running now that the rock Star deal is closed I'm. Just curious if your plans have changed given everything going on with co bad also as it relates to mountain Dew.

Thank you.

Good morning.

Let me give you a set I mean it this is consistent with what do we have been saying into buys that we see the energy needs stayed as a very large need state that will stay for for many years I think consumers a wouldn't need energy during the day in developing markets developed markets all over the world and that we're going after that.

Consumer location with multiple vectors.

We're playing with.

The coffee category and we continue to thing that the coffee category is a great opportunity to capture a lot of locations. There so with our partnership with Starbucks and some of the innovation. We had there we're being very successful to play in energy a need state.

Obviously, we had our own innovation with the game fuel and some other innovations we had in the past.

Rock Star deal gives us the opportunity to play with more.

These spaces in that or you know the energy provides so he has will have the a rock star portfolio, which I think has been under invested in the past. So now there are more incentives for our people to drive that business and we're going to invest in rock stars, how that's going to be.

A good segment for us obviously.

Bang, it's been a beautiful addition to our portfolio in terms of a differentiated brands that has a lot of momentum in the U.S. in particular channels a lot of opportunity to steel in terms of a additional distribution and some channels or there are not available. So I think our distribution muscle will give band.

A a an additional push and there's clearly a lot of consumer positive reception to that brand. So we'll benefit from that and then as we said in that buys.

We have a brand in our portfolio months, a new that I think has a lot of opportunities in that space as well and he's kind of natural for months and do you have to play in the energy a boost category. So you'll see some more innovation of our launch a new brand or to play more intention.

Early in that in that space and that's how we think about you know the multiple tools that we can use to play into what is a huge need state and I think it will continue with a you know people moving to Mega cities and people, having very hectic hectic lifestyles.

Your next question comes from the line of Nik Modi of RBC capital markets.

Yes, hi, good morning, everyone. A remote I was hoping you can talk about go to market when I'm thinking more on the gave a clearly no hobbling availability and the time like this will be critical so when you think about warehouse listen DST Gatorade between the channels small format Muslim on some of that you're running in the Midwest.

I was hoping you could just kind of a pine on how you think this should evolve in the future and given that this could potentially happen again at some point future.

Yeah, that's a great question.

I think probably the.

The difficult logistics situation that we've seen in the a in the marketplace in the last few a few weeks in the U.S., but across the world.

Has probably brought more light to the opportunity that we have in finding better ways to to ER to move our Gatorade products into the stores and although we have been with a greater collaboration with all our customers of our partners to find solutions forget that brand quickly into the stores because there's a lot of demand.

For it we've seen some bottleneck. So as you say, we're considering multiple options. Obviously the the final decision is always a combination of top line growth and additional cost and complexity to the organization. So I'd say, yeah. It's a a a complex decision give.

And the size of the brand, India and the complexities from the logistics point of view a it's a very seasonal brand that has a lot of a volume between say may to a September right. So it's a it's a huge spike to logistics system itself. It is a big strategic decision is one that we're as you're saying.

We're testing different options were giving it you know a lot of or a lot of thinking time and the decision will be made together with our partners in the retail space and obviously internally or looking at all that different volleyball. It. It's a its a a potentially big I love for gate.

But also a.

Yeah, it difficult decision from from any point of view.

Your next question comes from the line of Andrea tissue era of JP Morgan.

Hi, Good morning, and thank you for taking my question a little policy as well I was all of you Oh. So I was hoping you can talk about the same thing that uncle assumption. So I'm, assuming you're shipping used to be low your demand and you are not worried about any stock <unk> de stocking in the second.

What I saw this I'm just thinking Youre also broke up low single digit decline for the second quarter I use just assuming.

As we cycle, who the a and media consumption channels, they still gonna be very much impaired who most of the second quarter and if you can give us a nice to hear what happened in from other places where are the restrictions are lifted I'm thinking.

Hi, good morning.

And what we're seeing.

A lot of uncertainties on how the economies will go back to normal right then and.

We haven't obviously, you're getting imagine we have multiple scenarios and what could happen.

There are lot of scenarios that say that is not gonna be so linear as your what you're saying that you know economies of all but go we'll go back to open in right away and that is gonna be it right. I think this kind of they might be some scenarios, where you know the a there will be ups and downs and the ways you know.

Artist spreads and there will be some.

Particular local areas that could be at more exposed in particular moments of time and so on at my requires some additional I'm getting a lock down decisions or other sort of decisions by by the by the the government. So you know our the fact, there were saying that we see uncertainties on geography Chad.

Animals and and categories is because we're in many of our scenarios dawn I noticed linear as you're saying.

You are right in pointing out that most of the impact in our category, especially beverages is related to a a lack of mobility of people and then their particular channels that are you know very league linked to mobility and transportation and obviously some of the out of home.

Food, obviously, if if you know consumers are moving around there will be more consumption special incomes and convenience and gas channel and a bit more on a you know workplaces, where we have a good good business as well so that should improve assuming that the consumer will to stay a.

You know what will be able to continue to move around you know for for the foreseeable months now, but yeah. You know the reason where we're seeing more uncertainty is because we don't thing is gonna be a straight line. Once people go back to to moving around it's gonna be of restricted mobility I think.

And with potential you know second waves in some particular markets. That's why we're staying cautious and we prefer to have that you know that kind of a flexibility in our in our guidance at this point.

Your next question comes from the lineup Camo gondola of credit Suisse.

Hi, everybody. Good morning can you talk a bit more about Bang Gill and obviously makes sense and congratulations on becoming a lot more meaningful in the energy space in them, but seems like a fairly short period of time, but maybe just some more specifics. It's it looks like it's a distribution deal and historically distribution.

Deals of.

[laughter] favorably.

The founder supplier it more than they favor the distributor.

Is there a path ownership.

I think there's been some deals in the past or a lack of a path to ownership has been has been detrimental.

And maybe just some others basics.

No time horizon, how long is this deal is a perpetual things like that thanks, Hugh you when I give it your perspective, yes.

Yeah happy to do that remote and good morning, Camille or a couple of things and obviously, we were we're not going to disclose all of the details of the deal the where I'd characterize it is I think it presents great upside for the bank people it it gives them broader and and deeper distribution.

Then than what they've had to date.

It also with it it represents a I'm a nice win for us and it really helps us fill out the energy portfolio as we move to a more assertive posture on this category.

In terms of of any for deals or or sort of M&A contemplated or none of that is in there. So that we expect those two to sustain for good period of time, ER and though the last the last comment I'd make is oh. Unlike the Rockstar deal we really don't.

And have a meaningful restrictions in terms of the way that we we manage our portfolio. So we certainly feel or as we take a more serve posture. We we have the freedom to operate in the energy space or a great deal.

Your next question comes the line of Lauren Lieberman of Barclays.

Great Thank and reading.

Good morning in your in the prepared remarks, he does it talked about on developing and emerging market I'm feeling pressure in that that was right I mean, you're thinking about discretionary income being under pressure.

And how the macroeconomic good [laughter] category. So just wanted to get a little bit more on that your thoughts around seeing category development of package snacks is a big part is that kind of long term plan in international markets and the investments that you then maybe particularly to promote it's important to hear bigger brands make them bigger global footprint.

I know, it's still clean early days in a whole then but if you just talk about the any market development for snack you know I don't think about how this crisis.

Yeah, Hi, Lauren and isn't that a bit of as you're saying, it's two very early writing in if you think about Latin America, or Middle East Africa, or eastern Europe is being in the cries for a bit longer parts of Asia.

Well, we're seeing and short term is twofold. One is there's a good part of the universe off a outlets that we surveys that are shut down or partially shut down during the and they're locked down and so on that impact I.

Latin America distribution, but also the initial you know.

I know saline and that impacts our sales.

Dan the if you think about the consumer locations in those markets developing market. There's a lot of on the go occasions in those markets are especially a it tends to be a younger population that Bihar products snacks, especially and a a lot of the location had to do.

With moving around or either from schools to haul more you know hanging out with friends on the streets I mean, those kind of occasions, our big and those are somehow limited right in the in the current realities, so that that is being impacted.

Structurally we don't see any challenge to days right, where we see is actually Ali the opposite I think we have a if I were saying at the beginning.

Very strong supply changing most of these markets and the brands are quite established and were very good at managing the affordability levels in those markets. How we're price points, where you know back Bryce is very important and we have a lot of flexibility in our in our snack business to adopt.

Price points on the box to a two I'm you know to whatever the currency impacts our into cost and the price points. So I think there is a lot of know how I think we see it is an opportunity for us to even go deeper in the in our distribution eventually and to double down to.

Accelerate a share of marketing those in a lot of the the geographies, where we participate itself. We see some short term impact because of the distribution challenges that I told you at the beginning as soon as the they're retailers are back to business and we see that happened in many markets. After a couple of weeks.

Obviously, they they a they cannot not be opened from the family. Its income point of view a they go back to open in their stores and then life goes back to normal. So we've seen that this could be actually a boost to our accelerate.

Nation, how the a brick obviously the element in our market share precedence in a lot of international markets.

The relative size of our business versus competitors.

Tends to be quite large in a lot of ours snack businesses globally, and we we see that as an opportunity today.

Your next question comes from the lineup, Rob I hadn't seen of Evercore.

Great. Thank you very much.

Hi, yes at a time when a lot of companies our spanning are cutting their dividend.

Cutting you know or stopping share buybacks you guys have have basically committed to your initial guidance on those two.

$2 billion, a share buybacks, which is just I think you know tremendous financial strength.

My question is is you know given how the world has changed how you're thinking about capital allocation now a and priorities or does opportunistic M&A make more sense or how are you weighing all these things Oh in terms of priority Oh.

Also including perhaps even stepping up marketing, which was and you know increased a lot last year and you know in Q4, you said it may or may not be a increased ahead of sales. This year that was something you were considering so just kind of big picture, how you reevaluating capital allocation. Thank you.

Sure you want to take that one.

Yeah happy to it Robin a lot of ways are there really isn't much change in the in the way that we think about capital allocation relative to what we've talked about in the past.

You're right, we do have a terrific financial strength.

We've we've actually been in a in the debt markets at both short term in long term and and are able to to get money or add extended maturities that are quite attractive rate. So we.

We do have the financial flexibility to continue with a the share repurchase as well as obviously pay the dividend.

In terms of the capital allocation priorities are it's really number one and invest in the business and we'll do that as we see opportunity to do that.

Number two will will pay the dividend.

Number three we'll we'll continue to look at M&A, but but as always we're very selective in the past and as in British looked at as in the past.

And for the number of things that we look at we execute against very very few ER and then last share repurchase so no no real change in that regard ER and thankfully because it but the way that we've put together the balance sheet because of the strength of the cash flows in the company we're in a position.

And to continue to execute cash return to shareholders.

Your next question comes line of that he had a third of talent.

Hi, Good morning, Thank you for the question Oh.

Got a little deeper on your commentary around increased Hum per capita consumption. During your prepared remarks around consumers eating more breakfast capital more at home what seems to be apparent in the Nielsen data that's come out today, where salty snacks continues to grow though it did decelerate, but I think it does kind of lead the bigger question.

It seems like some categories are seeing a pan siloed and had a de load like with what strength down in the current four week period, and some still stronger so as you're thinking about the second quarter, which categories. Do you think cases paying a higher levels of a topic consumption home occasion and break even.

Absolutely pumps that you stocking thank you.

Good Yeah, let me try that.

We're seeing yeah as usain, both obviously, our Quaker range or increasing penetration massively. So the number of families that have bought Quaker and that last a six weeks has gone up a lot and we're seeing obviously I mean, there's one clear reason right and people are cooking at home.

Home and therefore, they're using their product more and we're seeing the cycle of repurchase also a good. So I don't think there's much stock in into house as long as people continue to to have breakfast or continue to cook at home at work, we're emphasizing in our marketing not only the a breakfast opportunity.

I'd also like cooking, there recipes and where are our Otis can be part of that have that cooking opportunity and this is here in the U.S., but it's also in Latin America, where with moved 100% to a recipes on on Oh, it's in some of our Quaker product.

You know they good news for I'd say, we've made a lot of positive changes to Quaker products right would reduce sugar would reduce artificial to improve the form your last thing we have better tasting products as well. So hopefully this is an opportunity if for the consumers to reassess the brand and to give it a.

A structural bush. So we're you know, we're dedicating and our marketing investments to that particular particular trial and three or three a purchase off of the quake or a range of product, which I think are extremely extremely good good and great. Tasting then when you see the snack.

Product, obviously I mean, there's many more locations [laughter] family now with the kids at home and and with a you know we all taken breaks during the day between our AD BC days, and then Oh locations watching TV together as a family or whatever so there are a lot of locations at home now that we're not there.

Ah, yes, six or seven weeks ago. So what else are emphasizing the you know in our advertising the opportunities out there snacks category.

You know.

Give consumers to Ah to do have moments of enjoyment. Your Indies confinement, we're seeing our multi packs are variety packs, a increasing massively we're seeing our steatosis brand our deep sea going up a lot I mean, obviously every every single brand, but those are where we're seeing highest highest growth.

And the beauty to your point on stock in the beauty of our snacks is that you know it can only last for certain period of time and they have expired today. So consumers will eat them. A you know they will not have stockman forever. So we see the cycles of repurchase also that's very clear on the snack business and.

Those are products that people by putting the pantry and they get them too by the whole family.

Your next question comes from the line of Steve powers of Deutsche Bank.

Hey, good morning, guys hope you're well.

Looking out over the horizon <unk> I guess building on somebody on the comments. He made in response to Andreas question.

I hope you could elaborate a bit further on your early thoughts around you know what exit strategy from current locked down conditions, specifically in North American Western Europe.

Maybe building on any lessons learned from China, I'm, commenting on whether that strategy in its timing is likely to varied all snacks versus beverages in your view and I guess I'd also love any thoughts you have as or expectations.

Around how you were approach and the timing may differ across markets, whether it based on consumer customer mentalities.

Compared to your competitive standing or or or just governmental policy just what does the exit.

I was my point was more about idea. The fact that you know would it be very lean here or not and I think as we're obviously looking at all the different scenarios and as we're imagine managing the company now is the auto scenario planning and a lot of options and stay in Super I don't know that's kind of their way.

Empowering the for online being Super I'd, Giles and just plain scenarios I mean, that's the way we're managing the company today.

So in our scenario planning.

I mean, the chances all you know every country or opening up in every state opening up and not having second waves or I've seen our low right. I mean, if you tend to buyers that are still around we don't have.

Treatments and we don't have vaccine so until we have good treatments on good vaccines.

We should you know he is very cautious right and therefore, you know it's going to be down to a lot of video enough people individual behaviors, whether we get contaminate or not.

Tell you know that's what I, what I meant right. When I said, we need to be careful that we'd on you know project as you know straight lines that moment to the state opens were all three and that business will come back I seen is gonna be a lot of maturations. Our approach to this is yeah I would say extreme.

The aggressive on the commercial site in the sense that we want to be the fares are knocking out the door every single store that opens with our and mechanics, and our sales men trying to fix the equipment and we feel the a the coolers and putting our rights in the first position.

And you know, making sure that every consumer they'd walks into that store buys arm products, so that from the commercial.

Mentality, that's how we're approaching there's opportunity off restarting a lot of points of sale from the safety if our employees, obviously, we're being extremely cautious and when I make sure. There are people are extremely well protected and that we are you know we we care for them in a way that is you know a better then.

Anybody else. So those are that tensions in the business and the one hand protected our people 100% on the other hadn't being the most aggressive commercially so that when its store opened in any stayed in any country around the world where the first somebody that knows how to get there two plays our equipment and that's that's about as though where you know we're trying to too.

You know be the best that and that's why I was referring now to earlier at the beginning that having very good people on the ground extremely talented very experienced with a lot of you know having been through a lot of a ups and downs in the marketplace gives me a lot of confidence that weekend that lever.

You know you know it an advantage way that says you know that's how we're thinking about all these complexity ahead of us.

Your next question comes mine as Laurent Grandet Guggenheim.

Hey, good morning, Ramadan and a new universities Komatsu reach your results this morning like that.

I haven't put up question on <unk> on energy actually on bank, how much would you.

You're going to distribute it immediately and how fast are you planning to beat from existing distribution agreements.

And then PD upside to your hedges primary efficacy the U.S. could you help us understand how internationally in Ah Ah unconventional could benefit from a from bill looks documentation as in some countries like <unk> in the UK and the current distributor has become indicate that there was no change to distribution agreements.

So why Bang distribution BD just for the U.S. So what's the plan before according to national and yet you.

Yeah Lawn <unk>, good morning, listen I I won't give you a lot of details on the details on the you know the.

The movement from the existing dish distribution network of back to our networks, but it will be progressive it will start in some channels as early as a early may and I would assume that you know by a by the beginning of Q4. He should you know pretty much been in our.

Tracks I mean, that's how we're thinking about it that will be exceptions, but you know that that should be that's our ongoing assumptions internationally.

We have you know very strong energy businesses in many countries with our own brands are seeing or add to rush in Russia, and and all the eastern Europe that pretty pretty strong brands now, they're rock star Bran and formulations gave us another tool to penetrate.

And that market, it's going to be.

ER elevated as as you know one other priorities of the company internationally in our beverage business and obviously, we will be up line the.

The the framework that we applied to any opportunity in our beverage market, which is thrown hold body of ground or challenge your markets and make sure that we you know was sick men their way, we we operate our our priorities commercially in those markets based on that framework. So we'll do the same with rock star, but you should obviously.

The long term, you'll see more markets kyrene, how or a rock star brands internationally, and you know being a bit more of an active player in the energy category.

Your next question comes from the line of Sean can you be yes.

I think my question Mountain Dew, I guess, a return to growth. So is this isn't a sustainable inflection. We were looking for is there an aspect about pre Kobe got pantry loading helped drive that.

[noise] since we've been investing a lot in mountain view and obviously, there's there's I'll return on that investment right. Yeah. The growth in Q1, you know there's there's been a very good innovation fries that has been zero mountain dew and that that seems to be getting a lot of Ah.

Hey, good reception by consumers and we knew that we were losing some a segment of consumers to other non sugar brands. So the fact of having a zero proposition in mountain view I think is getting some of those consumers back into the franchise.

Yeah, our marketing, it's also obviously, helping us to want to get to consumers into high frequency levels. I think the fact that we now have more freedom to innovating mountain Dew and being more intentional about energy would also gave us another vector off [laughter] opportunity for mountain Dew, So I wouldn't say that away.

You know were 100% out of the yeah Woods in mountain Dew, but I, but I see a lot of a bright spot in how the brand is performing in Portugal channels. It is now impacted a little bit more than others in convenience stores I mean that brand has particular higher penetration in imposed.

Channel and convenience stores. So the fact that convenience stores are down a in traffic and.

Obviously, given the current transportation limitations or that impacts mountain view of it more that other brands, but obviously as soon as.

People are driving around and moving around we'll see that Brad coming back and we'll be ready with our commercial programs a win win that's circumstance occur.

Our final questions or they will come from the line up they'll Chappell Suntrust.

Thanks, and thanks for taking my question.

Just real quick question on I'm kind of commodity outlook and the team is you're doing or thinking about in terms of near long term hedges and how we should look at it in terms of determines that largely the benefit largely offset by currency in terms of kind of your outlook I feel like you're not giving guidance, but just kind of.

We should think about it or is there more we just kind of yet to see is is it kind of flow through the supply chain over the next two three quarters. So any color there would be great.

If you want to take that this yep, yeah, I've got to pay Bill as you know we've been sort of systematically buying for for a number of years now.

We tend to be six to 18 months out.

Right now, we expect low single digit commodity inflation, both for Q2 and for the balance of the year and that includes transaction FX.

All right at this point, we're about 80% cupboard on market traded commodities in about two thirds over the entire basket or we haven't made any any huge material changes. We did go a little bit longer on on oil as as the market.

Went so far down it could be in in a lot of cases below the cost of production, but other than that I would expect us to continue to run our systematic Ford buying program because it or it has set us up while we're predictability in cost as well as predictability in pricing in the marketplace. So I think that strategy continues to see.

Service well.

Pretty good so thank you all for joining us today and for the confidence that youve, placing ads with your investments.

We hope that you all stay safe and healthy and we look forward to updating you on you know as the year progress is on on our performance. Thank you very much stay safe. Please.

Thank you for participating and Pepsico's first quarter Twentytwenty earnings Queuing <unk> session. You may now disconnect your lines and have a wonderful day.
