Thank you once again in order to ask a question or make a comment. Please press star followed by one on your Touchtone phone at any time.

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

Hey, guys first of all the format is very helpful. So kudos to your IR team for for sort of pioneering this new format of the street.

Yeah, I was hoping for a bit more color on some of the more volatile area is that your business you, obviously mentioned improvements sequentially within the quarter.

And guided to the organic sales growth acceleration globally in Q3. So they can you just give us a better sense of what specifically is driving that and then B I was hoping you could spend some time within that just discussing what you're seeing channel lies in the us beverage business and what you're seeing across snacks and beverages and some of your key emerging more.

Kits are you expecting pretty linear progress sequentially going forward in terms of improving sales growth of more volatility, particularly with some of the stage restrictions cropping backup in the US and then just given the develop being market country performance is pretty diversion in Q2. Thanks.

Okay.

Morning.

I hope you're doing well they said, let's let me try and then a Hugh will add some comments as well.

As we look around the world, we see a couple of factors that are driving our business.

Number one as you can imagine is overall ability in the country and that is by far the number one factor.

And we're monitoring mobility.

Through various means yes to understand.

Potential future performance out of the business, that's number one number two and that impacts Mosley developing markets.

If the the universe of stores are opened in what we're seeing in developing markets is that one situation you know when Dave section. It goes up in the country, there's about 10% to 15% of the stores that close and sometimes even higher and that.

Rise a lot of the performance so that's number two.

Number three obviously is you know we're aware do people eat most of their meals and that's related to a whether people are working from home or they're not working from home and so that's that's a third factor that is impacted.

Most of the food consumption. So there could be mobility that then people steel have their meals at home and so those three are the key factors. Obviously, there's a fourth factor that it will be more important than going forward, which is disposable income in the economy and that's related to unemployment.

And that's related to you know how much money the governments are putting back into the economy.

And that is actually has an impact in the U.S. yet it is impacting some of the other countries around the world as the government is on have the and then my sold to food. So much money back into the economies are those four are probably the most critical I'm kind of factors that impact the business and that's where we're modeling for.

Various scenarios as we go forward, so that's kind of them, but from a very micro point of view.

You know, obviously, a I said in the last.

Tom calls that we had in April that this was not going to be a leaner a recovery erad, that's gonna be a lot of ups and downs and we're seeing these happening as we speak right into business you see countries and we thought that pandemic was behind especially in the far east.

The pandemic is it is going back in very local situations, but still impacting both the actual a supply chain and also consumer perception right. We're seeing these here in the U.S., obviously as you know we're all familiar with it.

So first it was it was the northeast now as you know them other parts of the country, there being severely impacted by by the infection and that obviously impacts our organization because we operate within our community right and and and obviously the number of impacted or associates in our business.

It's it's a it's a it's a consequence of the community infection. So that's both puts a lot of pressured our supply chain as well so.

Hopefully that gives you a sandage off yeah. The different variables on the fact that this is going to be a you know a roller coaster in your one going forward.

I think we're getting much better and managing our supply chain within this complexity. We're hiring more people were training more people were making sure that you know we can maintain the supply chain in any circumstance, but it's still it's pretty complex that you're getting mad.

Your next question comes from the line up Bryan Spillane of Bank of America.

Hey, good morning, everyone Didnt I hope everybody is doing well.

My question is just related to the Cobi related expenses in the quarter.

And you were at 378 million for the quarter.

I think if I got it right in the 10-Q about 224 billion, but that was employee compensation expense. So I guess is we're trying to frame the size of the expense in the back half of the year. You know, it's 378, a good run rate and as we're looking at the components of this expense maybe if you.

You can help us just walk through what what we should be looking at as recurring for the next you know three or four quarters and what might.

All along.

Here you want to try though there's one yeah happy to Hey, Brian.

No brand that's not a good run rate going forward. The number going forward will will be less than that it'll still be substantial but but nowhere near that that number.

Number.

If you break it into pieces.

Things like personal protective equipment.

That's obviously going to continue or things like sanitation that that's going to continue.

But the the.

The allowance for doubtful accounts on customers are obviously is going to be variable depending on what we learned over time and how their customer base responds to fit the current environment.

Frontline and employee costs will still be there, but that number should be a moderated pretty significantly going forward. So yeah, we were not kind of getting into the piecemeal guidance, but I bet that should give you a little bit of a sense. It. The types of things that are that are gonna be ongoing and the types of things that ought to diminish.

We significantly.

Yeah, Brian the most important.

Component as you can imagine or factor that even so in fact is is the number off infected employees that we have right and therefore, the quarantine number I mean, that's the biggest factor is when you have an employee that is its got the virus or or supposed to have the virus. Then we quarantine a lot of people that.

The number one driver of cost and obviously that will depend on the evolution of the pandemic in different parts of the well itself right now a Hugh I didn't mention the you know the different components and how we're thinking about it but obviously if that pandemic goes up a massively then that cost will will go up.

Good.

Your next question comes from the line up on DRAM to share out of JP Morgan.

Hi, Thank you and good morning, I hope, you're doing well and I understand that this is not a straight line and then you comment that.

Oh, they see the emerging markets. If the main question Mark but could you help us understand how you left the second quarter in terms of cadence on the on premise is include anything yet.

And so I'm trying to just trying to bridge the low single digit seen gets recorded bad you guided for thank you.

Hi, Andrew Yeah.

Isn't that you used to to give you a sand job of how the different components I was referring to earlier in fact, a different channels. Obviously mobility has a very direct correlation with you know smaller store sales right and in the U.S. just convenience stores.

Around the world. These other channels that play that same raul, but we should be correlation between mobility and convenient store or small on premise I'm sorry, a small channel performance. Obviously as we you know we went through the quarter April was very low consumption in that 10.

No.

The second half of May June was an improvement substantial improvement in that channel the away from home channel is much more complex right. There's there's a lot of different.

You know.

Need states that consumers are going after there and so there was show all all shown improvement overall throughout the quarter by to steal a you know substantially below last year I mean, like there's like a big number below last year and all show different components of the channel with different levels off.

Performance. So you see channels like transportation steel very low you hospitality, he's still very low universities close you saw restaurants coming back, especially morning foremost type of restaurants coming back.

And more formal restaurants less so so you see different performances are under a across across the different channels.

In terms of geography, China came back pretty quickly I would say almost.

Oh in gross a India and a large part of the quarter you saw Europe's lower you know they come back of the both of the I'm kind of the small store channel and the away from home channel in Europe, Whats I'd be slow there would see any better lately as people are starting to move around Europe.

And going on vacation to some areas into south of the off Europe. So, let's see how would how it evolves now obviously, there's less or there's less people moving around Europe and compared to other years about each improved in the U.S.. We saw an improvement as I've said in the you know in May June in.

Specialty everything they had to do with with smaller channels now, let's see how these latest news in you know India evolution of the pandemic into south from their west of the country impacts those channels and the decisions that regulators stake in term job protecting the overall community right. So that's.

It's probably gives you a sanish <unk> how does this impacted as as we see the a pandemic evolving now into Africa.

South America.

In parts of the Middle East, India, you know, we're seeing obviously an impact in the traffic in stores and that drives and dies. The business now so still very fluid overall, its an improvement versus the April timeframe for sure and and that's why we're what a guide into a a small growth in that.

In the queue or into Q3.

Yeah.

Your next question comes from the lineup, Kevin Grundy of Jefferies.

Hey, good morning, everyone and I hope that you're doing well Ramon I had a strategy related question for you specifically around market share because it certainly seems to be an area greater emphasis on your leadership and if I'm not mistaken also taking on a more prominent role in management incentive structure.

As well so with that as context. It did appear characterization is number one if so how do you drive that behavior, how do you intend to prioritize innovation and Premiumization in mix to support market your initiatives and how do you balance that with the potential risk that this push on market share does not duvall into more.

Promotional pricing, particularly North America, carbonated soft drinks, where the industry has gotten away from that behavior now for a number of years. Thank you.

Thank you Kevin and that's that's a good its a very good a question yeah. It isn't the share of market is it's being central to our strategy and a it will continue so right now he has to be endure in India. The pandemic one of the key principles that we have set for ourselves that we going to try to improve.

Marketshare, obviously, where we're trying to develop our market share position in a sustainable way so it's more related to.

The strength of our supply chain the strength of our go to market execution, our ability to innovate faster into spaces that we see consumer value our customer relationships. You know those elements that we think are sustainable that part of our brands, obviously and you saw us making a lot of investments a in <unk>.

The team both in capacity and infrastructure.

In stronger brands, we innovated into new spaces, that's helping us that's helping us.

Navigate better the you know the current situation and we're continuing to do so there's you know there's some spaces in the in their market that are I've seen will will determine the share of market of the future. For example, I think E commerce.

If you see the growth of E. Commerce is gonna be quite strategic I'd think whoever wins in E Commerce, now and he's able to capture those families that are trying these eat grocery service for the first time I think it's been a winning those families in the future. So we're investing heavily in trying to be.

The first in that channel and trying to and again the investments that we made in the last few years last year in particular are helping us both from the data bit ability the agility of our infrastructure to supply those channels et cetera et shop ecommerce is a key area, where we've seen weekend gain market share second is this.

Trends of our DSD system, and our ability to service the stores directly I think is a capability that is quite unique Andy to keep says the advantage to keep the supply chain going in spite of all day and you know the challenge is well facing so that's also an area, where we plan to double down that improves our execution.

In store and the they inventory in store and that that that that it's also a says you know it's sustainable advantage. The third one is brands and we had yeah. We're seeing consumers are going back to a you know Brown said they trust and we have you know quite a lot in may.

The markets that consumer strides there there's big brands that have been around for some time with modernized them. We've kept umbrella bunch of their consumer and then were seen spaces like healthier bars I see a of the a a consumer demand where we have a lot of a beautiful brands as well and we're investing in those.

Brands, either this year appropriations in beverages, both Pepsi Mountain Dew Gatorade, we're investing a lot in those and those parcel that portfolio and they keep growing and also in snacks with brands like Oh, they eat in fast or smartfood or all the seem pretty range or you know pop corners or whatever it's on it there.

There's a lot of spaces, where we think that and we invest in those spaces, we got to capture market share for the future. The other one we're investing very mean substantial amounts on it it's working very well for I just saw the stream I saw the stream is a.

It always is a beautiful ER business four days, a situation where living today and I'm sure you know consumers on has to do their houses they have a perfect choices, we're putting our Pepsi branch in this all that stream and model in Europe and he is working very well we're investing in those so it's it's it's sustainable.

Long term market share across multiple bars on the value chain that I think its is is going to give us you know a stronger it's going to make a stronger company going forward. So that's that's how we're thinking about shut off market and sustainable share of market.

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

Thank you good morning, everyone.

Yeah on <unk> question on your price mix I'm wondering how present in the quarter, which was better than expected, especially for P. Binay, where your price makes sense up 3%. So hoping you could tell down I'm just kind of key drivers of this I guess I'm I'm trying to understand the strength in your price mix given the negative channel mix. So.

Okay, and then I assume negative packaging mix. So yes, it's John price mix impede DNA a function of lower problem lies in the corner and then really how sustainable excess positive price mix going forward, especially in this environment. Thanks.

Do you want to go out there.

Sure happy to remote Hi, Bonnie.

Yeah price mix it at one of the have for the for the company, obviously, but that's a complicated number because its global win and sort of incorporate almost everything.

Going a little bit deeper on P.B., an a or I think being the primary factors were ER around it less promotional a depth.

And then what we had seen in the past I think frequency is is pretty similar but the depth wasnt <unk> wasnt quite there obviously supply can.

Supply chains were a bit constrain in that regard so it didn't make sense to go is deep. So I think that's the biggest bag.

Your next question comes from the line of Citi and answer at Cowen.

Hi, Thank you good morning, well done.

Sure I'm commentary around indexing behind emerging brands and relevant brands like so to screen, just hoping hurt either your acute care to comment on production of non essential advertising and I'm really just reconciling that it seems like perhaps you know the topic recovery taking longer than perhaps we would anticipate.

When you're pointing earnings on a quarter ago. So just curious to hear how you're thinking about that line item. Thank you.

Oh, a advertising is a key component of our strategy and BB in it and it will continue well you know we're still seem that is critical dead we continue to.

To use that lever to drive penetration of the brands and a trial and you'll see much of the branch off that that is hasn't changed at all there. There has been a beat up at a judgment, especially in a in some markets early on in the quarter because the truth is that you know the consumer habits change.

Flawed and we you know we modify San Diego and indications. We also have become a being more selective about the type of an m. that we're doing and at some of your activities I had lower ROI you were were stopping them out we're putting more money against the.

The initiatives that had more a return on investment. So I think I'd say, we are would become better and sometimes a crisis helps to a to be more selective and to be more impactful and to a you know kind of generate internal momentum again simplification.

And again, a focal was a against fewer I'm bigger and that's what we're trying to do it. It's as you see from our results is it's it is working quite well.

Obviously balance of a year, we continue to invest as we see the you know the consumers moving around and demand for our products starting to be a bit higher Oh, yeah, we'll keep investing in and you know again not trying to lose that focuses on fewer I'm bigger and try.

And to minimize the lower ROI initiatives that sometimes you know we have in what is a very large business. So that's how we're thinking about I nm, Hugh I don't know as anything else from your side.

Yeah. There was the one thing I wanted to add as well Ramon as being it as we've talked about being stronger a part of that it's been building some more capability to do an M in house.

It's got a couple of benefits one it improves our speed and number two I. It has proven to be more efficient overtime. So we can actually get.

Same or more value for for less money, which is obviously a terrific outcome for the company.

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

Great. Thank you.

It's been like in the prepared remarks that tone around.

Hello control and digging back I mean, it maybe a little bit different why three men pick 'em had described it needed a little bit more Missouri, where last quarter you were talking about staying on the Uh huh.

Of course, there what's on criteria for ROI knits quarter, we're talking about Europe based nine cat, earning your budget.

So.

I guess by no stretched do I think that you didn't anticipate that environment was going to be wrong. I think that's very clear three months ago and it's remained it is not what do you think that's really changing your thinking in your approach then versus now [noise].

Yeah, I get it did feel a bit a bit different still very proactive, but sort of put much different danske bank.

Yeah, good Laura <unk>, Yeah. The idea you know the concept of holistic cost management that we would early on I mean, it was early last year as one of the principles of how we would get stronger it's a good because they do we've been at you know I would say investing and fokko seen ever.

Nobody around the company in this concept of probably stick cost management, which basically it is the concept that you're referring to which as you earn your budget every year and we're trying to be much more granular around unit composition of the budget, what really is requiring out going forward there versus what it was Rick.

<unk>, let's say lots a year or two years ago and going through that process of rethinking the budget every year and reallocating costs against what's gonna give us a best return a you know into year end going forward. So that's capabilities. There, we're emphasizing more because obviously a what we're seeing.

Or is that there is a you know it's a challenging time, we're having to put $500 million of cost in a in college related expenses, we will have to put some more going forward. So you know we have to find ways to fund died and we have to find ways to continue to invest in our brands in our commercial activities.

To keep growing and getting market share. So they have to be super so like Steve on where it where do we put the money in every single line of the piano. So we're emphasizing that from the from the you know from from the appreciation that you know every sand has to work for the for the growth drivers of the company and so that that is the brinci.

Well, there where you know that is being adopted across the organization and every single market on the other side. We are we're seeing that you know potentially a unemployment goes up in a in you know in several parts of the world a I think companies will have to be much more cautious.

About obviously a their resources that we are that we use and how do we use those resources. So I can discover nobody is going to come very helpful for us and and that's where we're talking about into sends off you know, let's be very diligent in how we look at every single line of all of our budget I wouldn't how would we olive.

Okay, those monies into the highest return on investment growth drivers and and without I think will be successful then gaining shut off market and driving growth and hopefully flowing that grows back into a into profits and you know for before you know publisher stand up until the company.

Your next question comes from the line of Laurent Grandet of Guggenheim.

Hey, good morning around and you and first congratulation on the front specific very specific initiatives, you're thinking to address like like matters.

Like two to focus my question on on the energy could take rate in the <unk> in your prepared remark you mentioned the bank business was already when was that we transferred to you so you'll see them.

That was a much quicker than most expect <unk>. So that's great I could you. Please tell us what's was the retailers.

Reaction to the push your I'm, making India did you get degree and what they expect from Pepsico.

I never saw together you rock star specifically, how long do speak between say to Reenergize the Brent. Thanks.

Yes, Hello <unk> Yeah. Good question recent yes, we are you know where almost completed with the you know integration on the a of the bank brand into our selling systems, it's been a complex.

Process, because bang had you know between 200 5300 distributors across the country shop as you can imagine India. You know the details of that transition has been quite a quite exhausting for a fourth Kirk, Indiana and that beverage team, but they've done a great job of integrating that brand and all show.

The same with a in integrating rock star in parts of the country that with the then a distributor brand into bad so that that is I would say by the end of July that will be almost complete and then we are you know we're ready to go up from the customer a relationship point of view I think the customers see has is a very.

Good partner that can bring a inside that can bring you know activation to their brands that can bring you know better store execution a lot on drivers that we know or you know, we can delever and will drive growth for the category. So I I would say the reception from from a retail or part.

As has been very bosh, it if and an early early signals of it is that there were getting into forward and that where we're executing you know with would quality of any I need. The fact that we have now a full portfolio that has bang rock star and some of their mountain Dew brands as energy offer.

Our it is it is a positive development before as versus having smaller brands. So it.

We're seeing positive signals and as we said last call in April. This is very strategic for as we continue to focus on the three components of this strategy you know driving a rebound to revitalize in rock Star and you will see some some news coming out of rock star shouldn't go.

It's on the advertising fraud in the back end Fron reformulation integrating back into our business and there's there's distribution opportunities and a lot of Citi opportunities in some parts of the country and then moving do with more intentionality into space is all energy. There are now to well covered we thing today and that we can do.

Or better job, obviously, when we continue to be very focused on Starbucks Starbucks is a critical part of our energy strategy and Triple shall Doubleshot, our is booming and even more now it with you know with people at home. So we're seeing you know all those components are working for us in the future were very you know we're very.

Optimistic about this part of their business and and certainly there's a lot of energy and our teams you know to to get it done and the team is doing a fantastic job right away.

Your next question comes from the line of Rob Ottenstein of Evercore.

Great. Thank you very much.

Wondering if you could talk a little bit about how your dialogue with retailers.

Has has evolved a you know from from March through June July you know how that how that's changed or maybe also touched on you know the beers things that you were doing to help retailers to get through this and where things are in terms of shelf sets I'm in a lot of they are most of the spring.

Yes, that's never never really happened when do you expect that to happen and how you look position for those thank you.

Right good question or Robert isn't.

In our principles and then as we started the up and then maybe [noise] taking care of our associates was approaching number one and taking care of our customers were priority number two similar to number one so I.

I think that was the focus of the company trying to a even innovate even more the partnership with our you know with all our customers across any country around the world and so that that is a focus on the teams I think we've been a giant with being.

Closer to the bar to our partners, we've been thrust far end, a with our you know supply chain challenges in some cases or but I would say in general we're getting very positive comments from our partners on how we are talking to them, helping them to say in stock.

And on time.

Driving business for both and and evolving for the future off demand, especially around the space will be commerce that I mentioned earlier that it's clearly growing at a very fast pace faster than we had all forecasted and you know about half a year ago shelf, that's the dynamics we.

Made some Charlie said in our supply chain to you know we've reduce some of the tale of our portfolio a with these guys that with our partner, it's a retail partners and we both agreed that you know, it's probably the best thing to do to eliminate the less.

It's a smaller ISCA using in their portfolio to maximize a you know the best selling husky use on beanstalk as I said earlier. Our these DSD system. I think is a is a fundamental advantage in the way, we're able to service our customers and I think they appreciate that that you know weve.

Ah we've made the afford a adjusting delivery schedules and increasing delivery schedules to make sure that you know, we we keep our brands in stock and we helped obviously our partners. So that is the level of Oh of of the commitment we have with our partners and I've seen the dialogue is isn't it.

Hey, good space in a I can this situation will give us a strategic relationship with our partners that I think we had in that buys about its probably at a higher level today.

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

Yes, great. Thanks, So I know you spent up your R&D process. He is considerably over the course of time, but as we think about today's consumer behavior relative to just a few months ago. The difficulty of predicting where we'll be you know in the quarters ahead, how is that impacting how your teams are thinking about new plans.

Product introductions, even looking out to 2021, because I think those plans might differ in a world, where we're at home versus or in a world where we're on the move and I guess is there is a way to think about that or is it is it that your cycle times on new product. So at this point are such that you feel like you can you can you can.

Keep pace with the change that we're all going through right now.

[noise] <unk> I think we have improved a lot as you mentioned, we segmented our innovation processing in different you know quick cycle innovations more leased and she's more strategic innovation that takes longer. So we have no. Good segmentation on process as it goes a company and.

Ways off investing and dealing with innovation has three different you know stage gates approvals and everything related to that size and the at the law city that we want from each step of innovation.

Yeah, the truth is that or never satisfied enough right I mean, so the sense of urgency in anything we do is going out and you know I think we have improving innovation and we want improve even more so from that point of view will continue to make the adjustments to some of that process required in terms of what you're saying.

Again, I consumers changing meaningfully you know its handles the a their needs and our we adopting quickly enough I would say, they're a few spaces, where we're trying to move quickly a immunity being one and we're seeing that you know consumers are looking for immunity more hours.

Our juice business is booming and we've seen that you know we can come up with other beverages and even snacks that go against that need artist snacks businesses are being far from meals that we're seeing that more and more consumers at cooking more at home and that means that obviously.

Brands like Quaker or some of our Quaker portfolio is being incorporated into meals, but also some of our snacks like so steatosis, obviously sabra and some other brands are being used for meals right laser ruffles, we gonna we've done a you know obviously move our advertising at.

Our you know consumer she was born in terms of giving them recipes and helping them with solutions that you know kind of goal a incentivize that hobby. So there's a markets you know them into this there's also an innovation element to these in terms of packaging or other solutions that we can help consumers and moving to that that's.

Phase so yes, we're moving quickly or you know were never satisfied with our you know speed of our capabilities and if you here they conversations with our internal teams speed is a key word now and we're trying to get better and that.

We're trying to beat the.

Well as close as we can to start up we this scandal for large companies. So that is one of our aspirations and Ah I think is gonna be along journey of improvements, but we're into right direction.

Your final question comes from the line of Sean team to have you B S.

Hi, Good morning, Hugh you mentioned, a 3 billion full year E com or roughly a roughly 5% of sales cycle that doubled in North America in the quarter. How much of that is a is transitory due to the stay home dynamics or can some of that continue.

Yeah.

John happen it could get in and I want a couple of things one just to be clear that 3 billion number is a retail sales number it's not a net revenue number for pepsicos, you've got a discount it for that number two that that is the great question or not not clear at this point I think a lot of that will be dependent on.

How much consumers are shoppers are fine that the experiences is very good for them or out of stocks. Obviously, there are always going to be a big question for them because if you get a lot of out of stocks that they're going to the store anyway, what sort of defeats the purpose.

And then the other one is put a degree that they're paying any kind of an up charge is is it worth the money. So I don't have a real good projection on that right now we're prepared for it to a to stay mortgage and we can manage that well if a if need be the case, both from a a and execution perspective as well as from a financial perspective, but are not clear.

At this point.

Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes our question and answer session I would now like to turn the call back over to run on the quarter for any closing remarks.

Yes. Thank you everyone for joining us today, it's great to hear from everybody and for the confidence you plays he knows with your investments.

We hope you'll stay safe and healthy and we look forward to updating you as a year progresses. Thank you again and have a great day.

Thank you for participating and Pepsico's second quarter earnings question and answer session. You may now disconnect your lines and have a wonderful day.
