Coca-Cola and Pepsi have competed intensely for over a century to gain market share in the global soft drink industry. The cola wars between 1975 and the mid-1990s saw both companies achieve average annual revenue growth of around 10% as worldwide carbonated soft drink consumption rose steadily. While Americans drank more soda than any other beverage, the cola segment maintained dominance within the carbonated soft drink category, although its market share dropped from 71% in 1990 to 55% in 2009. Coca-Cola and Pepsi compete at various levels, from brand management to incentivizing employees, in order to develop innovative marketing strategies and technologies to offer consumers greater choice.
Coca-Cola is a soft drink company founded in the late 1890s. It is the largest beverage company in the world and sells products in over 200 countries. While Coca-Cola faces competition from Pepsi, it maintains the number one market share position due to its strong brand value, effective pricing, and marketing. In recent years, Coca-Cola has increased its revenues and net income.

Coca-Cola Company in the beverages industry
Step I. Corporate Mission and Goals
Brief history of the background and evolution of the organization
Coca-Cola Company is the manufacturer of Coke or Coca-Cola soft drinks. The company was founded in 1886 by John Pemberton. He was inspired by his curiosity as he stirred up a fragrant, caramel-colored liquid that he brought down to a place called Jacobs’ Pharmacy. There he added carbonated water and let several customers sample the new concoction. Although John Pemberton invented Coca-Cola, which is a carbonated soft drink, he later sold it to businessman Asa Griggs Candler, whose smart marketing tactics made the soft drinks to dominate the world of beverages in the entire 20th century. During the introduction stage into the market, the company used to sell nine drinks in Atlanta per day, but currently it is selling more than 19400 beverages every second around the globe (Moran). Its advertising strategies have changed to reach greater markets. Today Coca-Cola is one of the best-known brands around the world.

In 2011, the company allocated $4 billion for the marketing of its products (Moran). Also, over the decades the bottling of the beverages has changed to differentiate it from other close substitutes. These changes have also been seen in the company logos.

The plan discusses the company's management, marketing strategies, operations, finances, and goals to maximize growth in global markets and increase market share. The main competitor identified is Pepsi.
Coca-Cola is pursuing a low-cost, high-volume strategy to boost sales of its flagship Coke brand in India. It has lowered the price of Coke concentrate for bottlers and the price of 200ml Coke bottles to Rs. 8, while keeping prices of other brands like Thums Up and Sprite the same. This makes Coke bottling unprofitable but is aimed at increasing Coke's volumes in India. Coca-Cola's global headquarters focuses on the performance of the Coke brand specifically, so growing Coke volumes is important to how Coca-Cola is perceived globally despite the strategy compromising bottlers' profits locally.

2. Executive Summary
Coca Cola was founded in 1886 in Atlanta, Georgia, and has become a leading soft drink
producer worldwide. Besides manufacturing the Coca Cola drink, the company is responsible for
introducing a variety of different products to the global market such as Fanta, Sprite, PowerAde,
Dasani and Nestea. Coca-Cola experienced steady growth in sales revenues over the last ten
years. Coca-Cola was able to increase its liquidity and its efficiency over the same time period.
Coca-Cola managed to keep its COGS percentage of sales lower than its main rival, PepsiCo.
Coca-Cola over the last ten years was able to keep its gross profit margin above 60% while rivals
in the industry where unable to do the same.
Based on the historical balance sheet and income statement, a series of ratios were
calculated to produce pro formas. The pro forma balance sheet and income sheet display that
Coca-Cola is able to continue keeping cost of goods sold at similar levels. The pro forma
calculations illustrate the company continuing its 2012’s long term debt levels, while still
producing positive cash flows in the future.
A free cash flow statement was created in order to obtain a fair value of Coca-Cola per
share. An in-depth examination of possible explanations for the difference between the fair value
price of $62.27 and the market value price of $38.46 is analyzed at the end of this paper.
3. History of Coca-Cola
Coca-Cola was created in 1886 by an Atlanta pharmacist, Dr. John S. Pemberton. Dr.
John S. Pemberton created a flavored syrup mixed with carbonated water and sold it in the
pharmacy’s soda fountain. Frank M. Robinson, who was Dr. Pemberton’s bookkeeper was the
one who thought up the name “Coca-Cola” for the beverage. In 1888, Dr. Pemberton sold
portions of Coca-Cola to various parties. The largest portion was sold to Asa G. Candler.
Candler sold Coca-Cola’s first bottling franchise in 1899. A challenge that overwhelmed early
bottlers was imitations and counterfeits versions of the beverage by competitors. In 1916, the
bottlers approved the unique bottle shape. The 6.5 ounce bottle had a unique skirt design that has
become a renowned bottle shape. The remarkable Coca‑Cola bottle was trademarked in 1977.
Today Coca-Cola has over 3,500 products available in over 200 countries. Coca-Cola is
more than just a soda company, it sells a variety of different types of beverages. The beverages
offered by Coca-Cola include enhanced waters, noncarbonated energy drinks, juices, ready-to-
drink teas, coffees, and sport drinks. The company also provides flavoring ingredients,
sweeteners, powders for purified water products, and fountain syrups. Brands that are a part of
the Coca-Cola Company include DASANI, Fanta, Minute Maid, Odwalla, Sprite, and glacéau
vitaminwater.
Analysis of Coca-Cola Historical Data
Coca-Cola over the last 10 years has experienced positive revenue growth rates except in
2009. In 2009, the company suffered a negative revenue growth rate. The year’s negative
revenue growth could have been due to the volatile economic environment. The decrease in
consumer spending in United States and across the world may have affected Coca-Cola sales for
2009. While 2009 sales growth was not impressive, Coca-Cola had large growth rates of 20% in
4. 2007 and 33% in 2011. The company’s double digit revenue growth rate in 2007 was provided
by the company’s strong sales overseas during that period.
The company over the last 10 years has shown an increase in its long term debt to total
assets. In 2012 Coca-Cola had a long-term debt ratio of 17% which was more than double the
rate of 4% in 2006. It appears that Coca-Cola is becoming more reliant on debt in order to grow
the company. The dependence on debt could be from the company’s expansion into new
markets. Coca-Cola over a period from 2003 to 2012 acquired multiple companies. Some of the
newly acquired companies likely needed substantial capital during their purchase. Long term
debt was possibly used to finance these acquisitions. Coca-Cola’s other liabilities from 2003 to
2012 either stayed the same or experienced a decrease. The company’s accounts payable
declined over a 10 year time period of 191 days outstanding in 2003 to 38 days outstanding in
2012.
The past acquisitions could explain Coca-Cola’s motives for decreasing its accounts
payable while increasing the cash they have on hand. Coca-Cola’s historical balance sheet
displays that the company prefers to keep large amounts of cash on hand. One of the motives
behind Coca-Cola possessing large amounts of cash could be a precautionary measure. Coca-
Cola might prefer to have large amounts of cash on hand in case of another financial crisis like in
2009. Another possible reason could be that they expect a large expense associated with a new
partnership such as Green Mountain that was announcement a few weeks ago. Coca-Cola could
have been anticipating a large amount of cash needed for the new partnership. This cash hording
move by Coca-Cola could be due to the company wanting additional cash on hand to cover
potential mergers and acquisitions.
5. How Coca-Cola Comparesto Industry Rivals
In the Industry of Soft Drinks, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo are the two big gorillas. Coca-
Cola and PepsiCo have been battling each other for more than a century. PepsiCo’s COGS
percentage has been around 43% to 48% over the last ten years, whereas Coca-Cola has had a
34% to 39% of over the same time frame. The difference between Coca-Cola and PepsiCo’s
COGS might seem small except when you consider that both companies have sales revenue in
the billions each year. The small difference of 2-5% adds to tens of thousands of dollars each
year. Coca-Cola had a slightly higher operating profit margin ranging from 22% to 27% over the
ten year period than PepsiCo. PepsiCo endured an operating profit margin extending from 14%
to 19% over the same period. This signifies that Coca-Cola has better control over its cost
compared to PepsiCo.
Overall, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo have similar margins and ratios. It appears that when
Pepsi experiences a sharp decrease in revenue growth, Coca-Cola experiences that same effect
on its growth revenue. The similarities in growth rates and COGS margin show that possible
industry factors such as the price of sugar have the equivalent effects on the two companies.
Pro Forma Income Sheet Analysis
The assumed revenue growth for Coca-Cola’s pro forma income statement was based on
the average growth rate from 2003 to 2012. One motive behind that assumption was due to the
inconsistence of Coca-Cola’s sales growth. Coca-Cola had a sales growth ranging from -3% to
33%. Another motivation behind the assumed growth rate is caused by its recent announcement.
Coca-Cola’s announced expanding operations into the at-home beverage system sector. The
company will likely observe an increase in revenue as it begins to enter into a new market
segment. Entering into a new market with large potential profits is a reason behind the
6. assumption that Coca-Cola will have a sales growth rate of 10%. The suggested rate of 10%
sales growth as opposed to a higher rate is due to an already present and successful competitor in
the new market. Coca-Cola has strong brand recognition and a loyal customer base, so it’s not
expected that Coca-Cola will experience negative sales growth in the next 10 years.
The expectation that COGS will be 40% of sales for the next ten years, is based on trends
from the past ten years. The COGS for the last two year were 39% of sales, so it’s expected that
COGS will stay on the same trend. The dividend payout ratio is predicted to be 10% of sales.
That assumption was based on the historical dividends payout ratio, which was around 9% to
12% over the last ten years.
Pro Forma BalanceSheet Analysis
The pro forma cash and equivalents is assumed to be 72 days of cash. That idea was
made based on the average of the cash on hand that Coca-Cola had for the last ten years. The 72
days of cash on hand appears to be an appropriate notion when looking at the last four years.
Coca-Cola for the last four years had a minimum of 64 days of cash on hand and a maximum of
100 days. The thought that short term investments will decrease from 16.9% of sales to 8.7% for
the next ten years was based on the average rates from 2003-2012. That assumption was also
based on Coca-Cola entering a new partnership with Green Mountain which is likely to require
significant investments from Coca-Cola. That new partnership could cause Coca-Cola to scale
back their short term investments while they focus their efforts on the Green Mountain
partnership.
The idea that long term debt will continue to be 17% of its assets, is based on Coca-
Cola’s historical balance sheet ratios and financing needed for acquisition and partnerships.
Coca-Cola’s long term debt for the last two years has stayed at 17% over assets. With Coca-Cola
7. entering a new market segment of in home beverage system, the company is likely to encounter
new obligations to be achieved in part by long term debt financing.
Valuation of Coca-Cola
It is calculated that Coca-Cola has a current fair value of $62.27 per share. The fair value
price is higher than the last stock price of $38.64 on February 11, 2014. It appears that Coca-
Cola’s stock is currently undervalued. A possible reason is its P/E ratio. Coca-Cola has a P/E
ratio of 23. 81 for 2013. Some investors prefer a lower P/E ratio. The decrease of soda sales
could also be contributing to the undervaluation of Coca-Cola. Americans have decreased their
consumption of soda by 3.5 gallons per person compared to five years ago. Soda sales
throughout industry the having been decreasing over the years. The decrease in consumption
sales might have affected investors’ confidence in Coca-Cola stock.
The investors’ confidence in Coca-Cola could also be low due to other factors such as the
amount of cash Coca-Cola has on hand. Coca-Cola kept a large amount of cash on hand, which
might worry some investors. Investors might have concern that Coca-Cola’s large holding of
cash is a sign the company is taking precautionary effects, tempting investors to pass on
investing. Investors and the market could have a lack of confidence in Coca-Cola’s ability to
create double digit growth rates. Coca-Cola showed a revenue growth rate in double digits in
only 3 of the last 10 years. Based on past sales, investors might expect Coca-Cola’s future
revenue growth rate to be minimal. If investors and the stock market believe that Coca-Cola’s
revenue growth is going to be less than the assumed 10% used in Exhibit 7, then it would cause
the fair value per share to be closer to the current market price of the stock.
An alternative reason that the fair value is higher than the stock price, could be due to the
risk associated with the company. The market might view Coca-Cola’s stock at a higher risk than
8. the risk used for the calculation of the fair value per share. The risk used for the fair value
calculation was 7.4%. If a higher risk rate such as 13% was used it would make the fair value per
share closer to the stock price. Also, the beta used to calculate the fair value per share of $62.27
was only .19 when the market used a beta of .34 to value Coca-Cola stock. Furthermore this
impacted the difference between the market value and fair value price per share.
The emerging threat of home beverage makers like Soda Stream, could also be
contributing to Coca-Cola’s undervaluation. Coca-Cola and PepsiCo used to account for 70% of
the soft drink beverage market. Coca-Cola underestimated the ability of Soda Stream to enter its
competitive industry. Investors might have not have had the same thinking as Coca-Cola and
viewed Soda Stream as a threat. The company’s impassive response to Soda Stream might have
doubted investors trust in Coca-Cola. Coca-Cola just recently acknowledged Soda Stream as a
threat and the actions it plans take to ensure it doesn’t lose additional market share.
A combination of those factors potentially lead to the undervaluation of Coca-Cola stock.
The company’s future actions and the way the market views those actions will only tell whether
the company will continue to be undervalued or not.
