Exhibit 99.3

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF GLOBAL COFFEE CO.

On August 24, 2025, KDP entered into the Merger Protocol with JDE Peet’s. Pursuant to the Merger Protocol, on January 16, 2026, KDP commenced the Offer to acquire all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of JDE Peet’s, excluding treasury shares of JDE Peet’s, for €31.85 per share in cash, without interest. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Protocol, KDP will acquire JDE Peet’s.

At the effective time of the JDE Peet’s Acquisition (the “Effective Time”), each JDE Peet’s ordinary share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than treasury shares of JDE Peet’s) will be converted into the right to receive the Offer in cash. Acorn Holdings B.V., an affiliate of JAB Holding Company S.à.r.l., together with certain directors of JDE Peet’s, collectively holding approximately 69% of the outstanding shares, have entered into irrevocable undertakings to tender their shares in the Offer and to vote in favor of the related resolutions at the extraordinary general meeting of JDE Peet’s.

Following completion of the JDE Peet’s Acquisition, KDP intends to separate into two independent, US-listed publicly traded companies pursuant to the Separation. One of the resulting US-listed public companies, Global Coffee Co., will combine the KDP Coffee Business and the business of JDE Peet’s and its subsidiaries as described under “Business of JDE Peet’s.” The remaining business, New Beverage Co., will operate as a scaled North American refreshment beverage company.

Financing of the JDE Peet’s Acquisition

JV Investment

On October 26, 2025, KDP entered into a commitment letter with the JV Investors, under which the JV Investors have committed to making, subject to certain conditions, a strategic minority investment into KDP’s wholly-owned subsidiary, the “Pod Manufacturing JV.” On February 23, 2026, KDP entered into a JV Transaction Agreement by and among the Pod Manufacturing JV, Keurig Partners and the JV Investor Partner in connection with the previously announced commitment letter relating to the JV Investment.

The JV Transaction Agreement provides that, upon its terms and subject to certain conditions, at the closing of the JV Investment, (i) KGMM will merge with and into the Pod Manufacturing JV, with the Pod Manufacturing JV surviving, (ii) Keurig Lux Partner will contribute 100% of the equity interests of Keurig Canada ULC as a capital contribution to the Pod Manufacturing JV and (iii) the JV Investor Partner will make a capital contribution of $4.0 billion to the Pod Manufacturing JV in exchange for limited partnership units representing a 49% interest in the Pod Manufacturing JV. The remaining 51% ownership interest in the Pod Manufacturing JV will remain under the ownership of KDP and its affiliates.

The JV Investor Partner will be entitled to 49% of the Pod Manufacturing JV’s distributions until it achieves a target internal rate of return equal to 6.375% in each of the first five years, which is assumed to be met based on the income of the Pod Manufacturing JV for the periods presented on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income of KDP. The JV Investor Partner will receive 49% of distributions in years thereafter which are classified as non-controlling interest on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income of KDP.

Following completion of the transactions contemplated by the JV Transaction Agreement, the Pod Manufacturing JV will own or otherwise have access to KDP’s and its affiliates’ manufacturing assets and facilities used in the manufacture of K-Cup pods and other unbrewed single-serve beverages in the United States and Canada.

The JV Transaction Agreement provides that, at the closing of the JV Investment, the Keurig Partners and the JV Investor Partner will enter into the A&R LPA. The A&R LPA sets forth each partner’s rights and responsibilities with respect to the Pod Manufacturing JV, including with respect to the limited partner committee (a majority of the members of which will be appointed by the Keurig Partners), certain unanimous approval rights in favor of the JV Investor Partner, mechanisms for capital contributions to be made to the Pod Manufacturing JV,

 

1


limitations on transfers by the partners, a call right exercisable by the Keurig Partners beginning on the eighth anniversary of the closing of the JV Investment and ending on the fifteenth anniversary of the closing of the JV Investment (or earlier upon the occurrence of certain triggering events), a conversion right exercisable by the JV Investor Partner after the fifteenth anniversary of the closing of the JV Investment but before the thirtieth anniversary of the closing of the JV Investment whereby the JV Investor Partner may elect to convert its interest in the Pod Manufacturing JV into publicly traded shares of common stock of Global Coffee Co. or its successor based on the JV Investor Partner’s remaining economic interest (subject to the call right) with related registration rights for such shares of common stock, and tag-along rights for the JV Investor Partner if the Keurig Partners desire to transfer their units. The A&R LPA also sets forth distribution mechanics, pursuant to which the Pod Manufacturing JV shall make quarterly distributions of available cash (subject to certain limitations, including for operating costs and reserves) to its partners generally in proportion to their ownership interests.

KDP intends to use the net proceeds from the contribution of the JV Investor Partner to fund a portion of the consideration for the JDE Peet’s Acquisition and related fees and expenses. See “Use of Proceeds” and “Description of the Transactions.” The JV Investors will receive certain transaction fees upon closing. See “Summary—Financing of the JDE Peet’s Acquisition” and “Description of the Transactions” for more information about the JV Investment.

Bridge Credit Facility

Concurrently with the entry into the Merger Protocol, KDP also entered into the Bridge Credit Agreement, dated August 24, 2025 with the lenders party thereto and MSSF as administrative agent. Under the Bridge Credit Agreement, KDP obtained commitments for a 364-day senior unsecured bridge loan facility of up to €16.2 billion to fund the JDE Peet’s Acquisition, which has since been reduced to €5.85 billion (“Bridge Facility”). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect the Bridge Facility except for the fees and expenses already incurred, as the combination of the borrowing under the Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement, the Equity Transactions and the offering of the Notes and the Euro Notes will provide the funding necessary to consummate the JDE Peet’s Acquisition.

KDP does not expect to draw on the Bridge Facility to finance the JDE Peet’s Acquisition; however, the timing, terms, and final amounts of the financing have not yet been determined. As a result, actual outcomes could differ materially from those presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information if the refinancing is completed on different terms, at different interest rates, or through alternative funding sources. KDP anticipates that commitments under the Bridge Credit Facility will be reduced by the net proceeds received from the JV Investment, the Preferred Investment, the Notes and the Euro Notes, as applicable. See “Description of Certain Other Indebtedness” for more information about the Bridge Credit Facility.

Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement

On December 18, 2025, KDP entered into the Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement with the lenders party thereto and MSSF, as administrative agent, pursuant to which each lender committed, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement, to provide KDP with financing under a term loan facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed €10.35 billion.

Borrowings under the Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the EURIBO rate plus a margin of 0.750% to 1.750% depending on the rating of certain index debt of KDP. The undrawn commitments under the term loan facility will be subject to a commitment fee commencing on December 23, 2025 at a per annum rate of 0.060% to 0.200% depending on the rating of certain index debt of KDP.

The Issuer expects to borrow approximately $3.9 billion U.S. Dollar equivalent in euros under the Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement to fund a portion of the JDE Peet’s Acquisition. See “Use of Proceeds,” “Description of the Transactions” and “Description of Certain Other Indebtedness” for more information about the Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement.

USD Notes

The Issuer is offering an aggregate principal amount of $3.0 billion of notes, which will consist of $   million aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes, $   million aggregate principal amount of the 2031 Notes, $   million aggregate principal amount of the 2036 Notes and $   million aggregate principal amount of the 2056 Notes. See “Description of the Notes” for additional information regarding the Notes.

KDP intends to use the net proceeds from the Notes, together with the proceeds from the sale of the Euro Notes, the Equity Transactions and the borrowing under the Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement, to fund the JDE Peet’s Acquisition and to pay related fees and expenses. See “Use of Proceeds” and “Description of the Transactions.

Euro Notes

Substantially concurrently with the offering of the Notes, the Issuer also expects to issue one or more additional series of notes pursuant to one or more indentures, on terms substantially consistent with the Notes, in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $3.0 billion-equivalent denominated in euros, which will consist of €   million aggregate principal amount of   % senior notes due 2028, €   million aggregate principal amount of   % senior notes due 2030, €   million aggregate principal amount of   % senior notes due 2032, and €million aggregate principal amount of   % senior notes due 2035. See “Description of Certain Other Indebtedness” for additional information regarding the Euro Notes.

KDP intends to use the net proceeds from the Euro Notes, together with the proceeds from the sale of the Notes offered hereby, the Equity Transactions and the borrowing under the Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement, to fund the JDE Peet’s Acquisition and to pay related fees and expenses. See “Use of Proceeds” and “Description of the Transactions.” Unless specified otherwise, in this section, the term “Debt Financing Transactions” refers to the Bridge Facility, the Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement, the Notes and the Euro Notes. See “Description of Certain Other Indebtedness.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on or derived from the historical financial statements of KDP Coffee Co, which are included elsewhere in this offering memorandum, and JDE Peet’s, which is included elsewhere in this offering memorandum. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, gives effect to adjustments reflecting the accounting for the Transactions (other than the Preferred Investment) as if those adjustments were made on December 31, 2025. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income of KDP Coffee Co for the year ended December 31, 2025, gives effect to adjustments reflecting the accounting for the Transactions (other than the Preferred Investment) as if those adjustments were made on January 1, 2025. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information combines the historical financial statements of KDP Coffee Co, prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, with the historical financial statements of JDE Peet’s, prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. Certain adjustments have been made to JDE Peet’s historical financial statements to reflect the conversion from IFRS Accounting Standards to U.S. GAAP, align accounting policies and financial statement presentation to KDP Coffee Co, and to translate the historical financial statements from euro to U.S. Dollar.

The historical financial statements of KDP Coffee Co and JDE Peet’s have been adjusted in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to adjustments reflecting the accounting for the Transactions (other than the Preferred Investment) in accordance with U.S. GAAP accounting principles (the “GCC Transaction Accounting Adjustments”). The GCC Transaction Accounting Adjustments are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions that KDP management believes are reasonable.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was derived from:

 

   

The accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information;

 

   

The audited consolidated financial statements of KDP Coffee Co included elsewhere in the offering memorandum and the related notes, which are incorporated by reference in this offering memorandum; and

 

   

The audited consolidated financial statements of JDE Peet’s and the related notes, included elsewhere in this offering memorandum.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and the related notes are being provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what Global Coffee Co.’s actual results of operations or financial position would have been had the Transactions (other than the Preferred Investment) been completed on the dates indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of Global Coffee Co.’s future results of operations or financial position for any future period. Future results may vary significantly from the results reflected due to various factors and risks discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

The transaction accounting adjustments and autonomous entity adjustments associated with the Separation are not reflected in this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Such adjustments would typically include, among other items, the effects of separation and transition arrangements, any Separation-related fees and other transaction costs, and changes to capitalization and stand-alone corporate cost structures. The underlying separation and transition agreements related to the Separation have not yet been entered into and the related terms, timing and amounts have not been finalized or cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. In addition, the amount and timing of Separation-related fees and the post-Separation capitalization or stand-alone corporate cost structure have not been finalized. As such, KDP has not presented such adjustments.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes have been prepared to give the effect to the following:

 

   

Application of the acquisition method of accounting under the provisions of the FASB ASC 805, where assets and liabilities of JDE Peet’s will be recorded by KDP at their respective fair values at the date of completion of the JDE Peet’s Acquisition;

 

   

Adjustments to reflect the Debt Financing Transactions used to fund a portion of the JDE Peet’s Acquisition, including related fees and expenses;

 

   

Adjustments to reflect the Equity Transactions used to fund a portion of the JDE Peet’s Acquisition, including related fees and expenses;

 

   

Adjustments to reconcile JDE Peet’s historical financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards to U.S. GAAP;

 

   

Adjustments to conform accounting policies and financial statement presentation of JDE Peet’s to those of KDP, based upon a preliminary assessment by KDP; and

 

   

Adjustments to reflect the related tax effects for the preliminary GCC Transaction Accounting Adjustments.

In addition, KDP management adjustments (the “Management Adjustments”) have been provided, which consist of reasonably estimated transaction effects related to synergies and dis-synergies that KDP management believes are necessary to enhance an understanding of the pro forma effects of the JDE Peet’s Acquisition. Actual future costs incurred may differ from these estimates.

The GCC Transaction Accounting Adjustments and unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are preliminary and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and additional analysis is performed. The preliminary GCC Transaction Accounting Adjustments have been made solely for the purpose of providing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and are prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. KDP estimated the fair value of JDE Peet’s

assets and liabilities based on certain publicly available information and limited data provided to KDP management, as there are limitations on the information that can be exchanged between KDP and JDE Peet’s prior to the closing of the JDE Peet’s Acquisition. A final determination of the fair value of JDE Peet’s acquired assets, non-controlling interests, and assumed liabilities will be performed. Any changes in the fair values of the net assets or total purchase consideration as compared with the information shown in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information may change the amount of the total purchase consideration allocated to goodwill and other assets and liabilities and may impact Global Coffee Co.’s statements of income; therefore the final purchase consideration allocation may be materially different than the preliminary purchase consideration allocation presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes are prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes are prepared to give effect to adjustments reflecting the accounting for the Transactions (other than the Preferred Investment). KDP Coffee Co’s financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and presented in U.S. Dollars while JDE Peet’s historical financial statements were prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards and presented in euro. Details regarding the conversion of the JDE Peet’s historical financial statements from IFRS Accounting Standards to U.S. GAAP and to translate the historical financial statements from euro to U.S. Dollar are included within Note 2 — Reclassifications and Conversion Adjustments.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2025 are based on the historical financial statements of KDP Coffee Co and JDE Peet’s.

 

   

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, is presented to give effect to adjustments reflecting the accounting for the Transactions (other than the Preferred Investment) assuming those adjustments were made on December 31, 2025, and combines the historical balance sheet of KDP Coffee Co as of December 27, 2025, with the historical balance sheet of JDE Peet’s as of December 31, 2025.

 

   

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2025, has been prepared to give effect to adjustments reflecting the accounting for the Transactions (other than the Preferred Investment) assuming those adjustments were made on January 1, 2025, and combines KDP Coffee Co’s historical statement of income for the year ended December 27, 2025, with JDE Peet’s historical income statement for the year ended December 31, 2025.

KDP Coffee Co has historically been managed and financed as part of KDP. As a result, the Global Coffee Co. standalone financial statements do not reflect a traditional capital structure (e.g., no common stock, additional paid-in capital, or outstanding shares) in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. In the absence of a historical share base, there is no appropriate numerator/denominator with which to compute per-share amounts. Accordingly, earnings per share information is not presented at this time.

The historical financial information of JDE Peet’s has been reclassified to conform to KDP Coffee Co’s financial statement presentation, converted from IFRS Accounting Standards to U.S. GAAP, adjusted for KDP Coffee Co’s accounting policies where material differences exist and translated from euro to U.S. Dollar. As discussed in Note 2, certain reclassifications were made to align KDP Coffee Co and JDE Peet’s financial statement presentation. KDP Coffee Co is currently in the process of evaluating JDE Peet’s accounting policies, which will be finalized upon completion of the JDE Peet’s Acquisition, or as more information becomes available. As a result of that review, additional differences could be identified between the accounting policies of the two companies.

The JDE Peet’s Acquisition reflected in this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, with KDP Coffee Co as the accounting acquirer, using the fair value concepts defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and based on the historical financial statements of KDP Coffee Co and JDE Peet’s. ASC 805 requires that the assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the JDE Peet’s Acquisition date. For purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet, the estimated acquisition consideration has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from JDE Peet’s based upon KDP management’s preliminary estimate of their fair

values. KDP has not completed the valuation analysis and calculations in sufficient detail necessary to arrive at the required estimates of the fair value of JDE Peet’s assets to be acquired or liabilities assumed. For the preliminary estimate of the fair value of certain intangible assets and inventory, KDP performed an analysis based on publicly available data and limited information provided to KDP management. For the preliminary estimate for the fair value of the assumed debt, KDP performed an assessment based on publicly available information on the terms of the debt instruments, market yield curves, as well as yields for JDE Peet’s traded debt.

The remaining JDE Peet’s assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests are presented at their respective historical carrying amounts and should be treated as preliminary values. Any differences between the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling interests will be recorded as goodwill. Accordingly, the allocation of the consideration transferred and related adjustments reflected in this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are preliminary and subject to revision based on a final determination of fair value as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. The GCC Transaction Accounting Adjustments represent KDP management’s best estimates and are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions that KDP believes are reasonable under the circumstances and are subject to revision as additional information becomes available.

Note 2 – Reclassification and Conversion Adjustments

During the preparation of this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, KDP management performed an analysis of the JDE Peet’s financial information to identify differences in the JDE Peet’s accounting policies applied in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards compared to KDP Coffee Co’s accounting policies applied in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The historical results have been translated from euro to U.S. Dollar using the closing exchange rate of 1.1746 as of December 31, 2025, and the average exchange rate of 1.1293 during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Refer to the table below for a summary of reclassification adjustments made to present JDE Peet’s Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2025, to conform to KDP Coffee Co’s Balance Sheet for the same period:

The historical financial statements of JDE Peet’s have been converted from IFRS Accounting Standards to U.S. GAAP. As IFRS Accounting Standards differ in certain respects from U.S. GAAP, the following adjustments have been made to align JDE Peet’s historical accounting policies under IFRS Accounting Standards to KDP’s accounting policies under U.S. GAAP for purposes of this pro forma presentation.

 

  (i)

Record the difference in pension valuation from IFRS Accounting Standards to U.S. GAAP, and corresponding deferred tax adjustment. This resulted in a decrease of $83 million in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income and an increase of $81 million to retained earnings;

  (ii)

Reflect the tax effects of adjustments made to conform with U.S. GAAP, including items related to intra-entity transfers of inventory, recognition of deferred taxes on non-qualifying assets, the reversal of backward tracing, outside basis differences, and uncertain tax positions;

  (iii)

Reflect the impact of business combination foreign exchange and fair value interest rate hedges not eligible for hedge accounting under U.S. GAAP, reclassifying amounts from other comprehensive income to the Statement of Income;

  (iv)

Reclassify approximately $131 million of gains on total return equity swaps from finance income to other income, net and cost of sales under U.S. GAAP to conform the presentation of foreign exchange and derivative gains and losses to KDP’s accounting policies. The amount reclassified to other income, net is $129 million and the amount reclassified to cost of sales is $2 million;

  (v)

Reflect difference in hyperinflationary accounting from IFRS Accounting Standards to U.S. GAAP for operations in Turkey. Under U.S. GAAP, the financial statements of a foreign operation in a highly inflationary economy are remeasured as if the parent’s reporting currency were its functional currency;

  (vi)

Reclassify $25 million from cash and cash equivalents to restricted cash;

  (vii)

Reclassify $61 million of computer software from intangible assets to property, plant and equipment, net to conform JDE Peets’ presentation to KDP’s presentation ;

  (viii)

Reclassify the operating lease amortization expense and finance charges to operating lease cost. Under U.S. GAAP, lessees distinguish between finance leases and operating leases for reporting purposes. For operating leases, the right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability are recognized on the balance sheet, and the related lease expense is presented on a straight-line basis. This resulted in a reduction of property, plant, and equipment of $201 million and an increase in other non-current assets of $220 million;

  (ix)

Record the impact of accounting for leases embedded in revenue arrangements under U.S. GAAP. U.S. GAAP uses a rule-based classification model to categorize lessor leases as either operating, direct financing, or sales-type leases. The adjustment reclassifies certain leases from operating leases under IFRS Accounting Standards to sales-type leases under U.S. GAAP. The adjustment decreased property, plant, and equipment by $39 million and increased other non-current assets by $35 million;

  (x)

Reflect the reclassifications of historical JDE Peet’s financial statement line items to conform to the expected financial statement line items of the combined company following the JDE Peet’s Acquisition; and

  (xi)

Reflect the reclassification of $894 million of trade payables as structured payables in order to conform to KDP’s accounting policy along with the corresponding reclassification of related expenses in the Statement of Income.

Note 3 – Preliminary Allocation of Consideration Transferred

 

(a)

Consideration Transferred

The total estimated consideration transferred is as follows:

 

Consideration Transferred (In millions)

   Amount  

Estimated cash consideration (i)

   $ 18,145  

Estimated settlement of preexisting relationships (ii)

     (11
  

 

 

 

Total estimated consideration transferred (iii)

   $ 18,134  
  

 

 

 
 
(i)

Represents estimated cash to be paid by KDP to acquire all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of JDE Peet’s, excluding treasury shares of JDE Peet’s, for €31.85 per share, equivalent to $37.41 per share based on the December 31, 2025 closing exchange rate, without interest. The $18,134 million represents the estimated consideration transferred by KDP on behalf of KDP Coffee Co in conjunction with the JDE Peet’s Acquisition. As a result, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not reflect the cash payments by KDP to complete the JDE Peet’s Acquisition. Instead, the funding of the acquisition consideration is presented as a capital contribution from KDP to KDP Coffee Co. The estimated cash consideration is presented on the balance sheet as a transaction adjustment to retained earnings, net of the elimination of historical equity of $2,858 million.

 

(ii)

Represents the carrying value amount of preexisting balances between the parties, which are deemed to approximate fair value.

 

(iii)

Pursuant to the Merger Protocol, JDE Peet’s equity awards granted after the signing of the Merger Protocol will roll over into KDP equity awards in accordance with applicable “roll-over” provisions in the relevant JDE Peet’s employee incentive plans. In September 2025, JDE Peet’s granted a total of 389,270 conditional rights to shares in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”) (collectively, “September 2025 Grants”). In addition, pursuant to the Merger Protocol, JDE Peet’s will be permitted to make additional employee equity grants in March 2026 (“March 2026 Grants”) to the extent that the aggregate date grant value of the September 2025 Grants and March 2026 Grants does not exceed an agreed-upon threshold negotiated in connection with the JDE Peet’s Acquisition. At the time of the preparation of this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, KDP does not have the data to determine an allocation of the fair value amount between pre-combination and post-combination period and as such, there is no impact reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements to purchase consideration or post-combination expense.

All unvested employee equity awards granted prior to the signing of the Merger Protocol under JDE Peet’s employee incentive plans will accelerate and vest on or prior to the closing of the JDE Peet’s Acquisition in accordance with the “Employee Equity Incentives” provision of the Merger Protocol. There will be an acceleration of expense reflected as post-combination expense. At the time of the preparation of this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, KDP does not have the data to determine an allocation of the fair value amount between pre-combination and post-combination period and as such, there is no impact reflected in post-combination expense.

 

(b)

Preliminary Allocation of Consideration Transferred

The estimated consideration transferred, as shown in the table above, is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary estimated fair values. As mentioned above in Note 1, KDP has not completed the valuation analysis and calculations in sufficient detail necessary to arrive at the required estimates of the fair value of the JDE Peet’s assets to be acquired, non-controlling interests, or liabilities assumed. For the preliminary estimate of the fair value of certain intangible assets and inventory, KDP performed an analysis based on publicly available data and limited data provided to KDP management. For the preliminary estimate for the fair value of the assumed debt, KDP performed an assessment based on publicly available information on the terms of the debt instruments, market yield curves, as well as yields for JDE Peet’s traded debt. Accordingly, the allocation of consideration transferred and related adjustments reflected in this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are preliminary and subject to revision based on a final determination of fair value as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed.

Goodwill

   $ 10,376  
  

 

 

 

The preliminary allocation of estimated consideration transferred above reflects a preliminary estimated Goodwill of $10.4 billion. Goodwill represents the excess of the estimated consideration transferred over the preliminary estimated fair values of recorded tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The actual amount of Goodwill to be recorded in connection with the JDE Peet’s Acquisition is subject to change once the valuation of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been completed.

Preliminary identifiable Intangible assets in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information consist of the following:

 

Description (In millions)

   Preliminary

Brands - indefinite

   $ 12,000      $ Indefinite

   $ 16,475     
  

 

 

    

KDP determined a preliminary fair value estimate of Intangible assets related to Brands, Customer and distributor relationships, and Developed technology.

 

15


The estimated fair values and useful lives of identifiable Intangible assets are preliminary and have been performed based on publicly available information and limited data provided to KDP management, as there are limitations on the information that can be exchanged between KDP and JDE Peet’s prior to the closing of the JDE Peet’s Acquisition. The amount that will ultimately be allocated to identifiable intangible assets and the related amount of amortization, may differ materially from this preliminary allocation. Any change in the valuation of Intangible assets would cause a corresponding increase or decrease in the balance of Goodwill. A hypothetical 10% change in the valuation of the definite-lived Intangible assets would result in a corresponding increase or decrease in the amortization expense of approximately $31.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, assuming a weighted average useful life of 14.6 years.

  (f)

Reflects a deferred income tax liability (see Note 3) resulting from the preliminary pro forma fair value adjustment to Intangible assets and Inventories based on the estimated blended statutory tax rate of approximately 25%. Because the tax rates used for the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are estimated, the blended rate will likely vary from the actual effective rate in periods subsequent to the completion of the JDE Peet’s Acquisition. This estimate of the deferred income tax liability (see Note 3) is preliminary and is subject to change based upon KDP Coffee Co’s final determination of the fair values of identifiable intangible assets acquired by jurisdiction.

 

  (g)

Represents the elimination of JDE Peet’s historical equity balances in conjunction with the JDE Peet’s Acquisition.

 

  (h)

Represents the recognition of estimated transaction costs for JDE Peet’s that KDP will pay upon closing and will be treated as an assumed liability for the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Transaction costs consist of consulting costs and success fees.

Equity and Debt Financing Adjustments:

Cash settlement of deemed distribution of paid-up capital

     (11
  

 

 

 

Pro forma adjustment to Cash and cash equivalents

   $ (11
  

 

 

 

 

  (k)

The adjustment reflects the short-term and long-term obligations related to the Debt Financing Transactions and is comprised of the following:

 

Description (In millions)

   Amount  

Financing transactions:

  

Gross proceeds from the USD Notes

   $ 3,000

     (36
  

 

 

 

Pro forma net adjustment to short-term and long-term obligations

   $ 9,859  
  

 

 

 

The pro forma adjustment reflects KDP management’s best estimate of the Debt Financing Transactions based on information currently available. Although the mix of debt will not have a pervasive impact on the overall transaction or estimated preliminary consideration transferred, the assumptions around this election will have an impact on Cash and cash equivalents, Long-term obligations, and Interest expense. See Note 5(f) for sensitivity related to interest expense.

 

  (l)

Reflects the tax effect of the portion of U.S. interest expense, related to the USD Notes, Euro Notes, and Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement, limited in the current period under Section 163(j) of the Code and is expected to be deductible in future periods. The adjustment is presented as a reduction to the U.S. net deferred tax liability using an estimated blended statutory tax rate of 25%.

 

  (m)

The JV Investor Partner’s interest in the Pod Manufacturing JV is reflected by KDP as a sale of a minority interest in a subsidiary of which Global Coffee Co. retains control. Accordingly, a non-controlling interest was reflected on the balance sheet within equity with an accompanying cash inflow of $4.0 billion reflected as a source of proceeds.

  (n)

Reflects the distribution of the net proceeds from the Notes and Euro Notes from the Issuer to KDP to fund a portion of the JDE Peet’s Acquisition.

 

  (o)

Recognition of withholding taxes paid on accumulated Canadian earnings and valuation allowance established on specific deferred tax assets (DTAs), related to the Luxembourg net operating loss (NOL) as a result of implementing the JV Investment structure.

Note 5 – Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Income

Acquisition Accounting Adjustments:

 

  (a)

Elimination of Net sales and Cost of sales between KDP and JDE Peet’s as part of the JDE Peet’s Acquisition. The transactions are assumed to be at-market.

 

  (b)

Reflects the adjustments to Cost of sales related to (i) preliminary fair value step-up adjustment to inventory, which is reflected in Cost of sales during the year as the related inventory is expected to be sold within twelve months following the closing of the JDE Peet’s Acquisition, (ii) the removal of JDE Peet’s historical amortization expense recorded within Cost of sales during the period, and (iii) elimination of Cost of sales between KDP and JDE Peet’s that are eliminated as part of the JDE Peet’s Acquisition (the transactions are assumed to be at-market).

KDP is still in the process of evaluating the fair value of the definite-lived intangible assets. Any resulting change in the fair value would have a direct impact on amortization expense. The amortization of definite-lived intangible assets is calculated on a straight-line basis. The amortization is based on the periods over which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are expected to be realized, which are subject to adjustment as additional information becomes available.

  (e)

Reflects the adjustment to Other income, net to remove the income (loss) allocation from KDP Coffee Co’s equity method investment in Dyla. Following KDP’s acquisition of the remaining 100% interest in Dyla in June 2025, Dyla became part of Beverage Co.’s business on a go-forward basis. However, in the KDP Coffee Co financial statements, Dyla was included consistent with the legal entity approach to reflect the historical legal entity structure.

 

  (f)

To record the income tax impact of the pro forma transaction accounting adjustments, utilizing the blended statutory income tax rate of approximately 25% for the year ended December 31, 2025. Because the tax rates used for the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are estimated, the blended rate will likely vary from the actual effective rate in periods subsequent to completion of the JDE Peet’s Acquisition. This determination is preliminary and subject to change based upon the final determination of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities.

The pro forma net adjustment for Interest expense, net represents KDP’s best estimate of the interest rates and terms it believes it can obtain in the Debt Financing Transactions based on KDP’s evaluation of current market conditions. The weighted average blended rate used for the pro forma net interest adjustment is 3.98%. A sensitivity analysis on interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2025, has been performed to assess the effect of a 0.125% change of the hypothetical interest on the Notes and the Euro Notes.

A hypothetical increase or decrease to the annual interest rate related to the Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement, the USD Notes and the Euro Notes would change annual interest expense by approximately $12.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.

 

  (h)

To record the income tax impact of the GCC Transaction Accounting Adjustments utilizing the blended statutory income tax rate of approximately 25% for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Because the tax rates used for the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are estimated, the blended rate will likely vary from the actual effective rate in periods subsequent to completion of the JDE Peet’s Acquisition. This determination is preliminary and subject to change based upon the final determination of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. Following the completion of the Transactions, Global Coffee Co. will continue to evaluate the impacts to its federal, state, and foreign tax profiles and assertions.

 

  (i)

Represents the estimated tax impact of income allocation to the non-controlling interest holder for the Pod Manufacturing JV, since allocation from a taxable entity to the Pod Manufacturing JV which is not subject to federal income tax.

 

  (j)

Certain nonrecurring tax expenses related to implementing the JV Investment structure, including withholding taxes and the recognition of a valuation allowance on specific deferred tax assets (DTAs).

 

  (k)

The JV Investor Partner will be entitled to 49% of the Pod Manufacturing JV’s distributions until it achieves a target internal rate of return equal to 6.375% in each of the first five years, which is assumed to be met based on the income of the Pod Manufacturing JV for the periods presented; the JV Investor Partner will receive 49% of distributions in years thereafter which are classified as non-controlling interest on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income. Note 6 – Earnings Per Share (EPS)

As Global Coffee Co. has not yet finalized its capital structure, EPS has not been presented within this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

Note 7 – Management’s Adjustments

KDP has elected to present Management’s Adjustments to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and included all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of such information.

While operating as a business unit within KDP’s centralized model, Global Coffee Co. benefited from economies of scale. In establishing independent support functions, expenses are expected to exceed prior shared-service allocations. Global Coffee Co. is expected to (i) incur one-time and non-recurring costs, (ii) incur incremental recurring and ongoing costs to operate independently, and (iii) realize operational and financial benefits from anticipated synergies associated with its integration with JDE Peet’s, as described below. These estimates are net of the transaction costs presented in Notes 4 and 5.

 

   

One-time and non-recurring expenses: One-time and non-recurring expenses associated with the integration of JDE Peet’s, including system integration, severance, retention, professional services, and other matters. Total one-time and non-recurring expenses expected to be incurred are approximately $325 to $400 million. Assuming the Transactions (other than the Preferred Investment) occurred on January 1, 2025, of the total expenses, Global Coffee Co. would have recognized approximately $175 to $225 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.

 

   

Incremental recurring expenses and Synergies: Incremental recurring and ongoing costs (“Dis-Synergies”) are anticipated to operate new functions required for a stand-alone public company such as external reporting, internal audit, treasury, investor relations, board of directors and officers, stock administration, and expanding the services of existing functions such as information technology, sales, finance, supply chain, human resources, legal, tax, facilities, branding, security and insurance. KDP management expects to fully mitigate these costs and generate incremental operating and financial benefits (“Synergies”), consisting of cost synergies primarily associated with procurement, manufacturing and logistics, and SG&A and IT. These net Synergies are expected to ramp over three years, with in-year realization of roughly $60 to $80 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and reaching an annualized run-rate of roughly $400 million by the end of the third year following the consummation of the JDE Peet’s Acquisition.

 

20


KDP management has estimated the one-time costs based on a functional assessment of activities required to execute the integration, including information technology, finance, tax, human resources, and other general and administrative areas. For each function, KDP management identified the scope of work and expected magnitude of effort required to establish integrated capabilities. The assessment incorporated historical experience from prior transactions, internal planning assumptions, and benchmarks from comparable large-scale public company integrations. KDP management believes these estimates are reasonable based on currently available information and the planned execution approach.

KDP management estimated these Dis-Synergies by using historical costs for the year ending December 31, 2025 as a baseline and conducting an incremental assessment for each corporate functional area (sales, marketing, financial reporting, tax, legal, risk management, human resources, information technology and other general and administrative functions) and an employee-level census to identify incremental resources and associated costs, including systems and third-party contracts as noted above, required for New Beverage Co. and Global Coffee Co. to operate as stand-alone public companies. This assessment was performed consistently across all impacted departments and consisted of identifying the support needs for the businesses on an ongoing basis. The assessment involved the analysis of employee compensation, benefits and other non-salary related costs. As a result of this assessment, KDP management identified both incremental needs to those which are included in the historical financial statements.

KDP management estimated these synergies by performing a bottom-up review of all identified cost initiatives across functional areas (e.g., procurement, manufacturing, logistics, marketing, SG&A) and informed by existing stand-alone cost programs and prior diligence on the value creation opportunity associated with JDE Peet’s and our prior transaction with Keurig Green. Estimates were reviewed with executive leaders to remove duplicates and validate assumptions. These initiatives are now being validated with functional leaders in context of integration planning. Assumptions were benchmarked against internal run-rates and external comparables from transactions of similar scale and complexity. The resulting view reflects a reconciled, risk-adjusted estimate of sustainable cost synergies to be delivered in the first three years following the consummation of the JDE Peet’s Acquisition.

The Synergies, Dis-Synergies, and one-time and non-recurring expenses are preliminary, subject to change and have been estimated based on assumptions that KDP management believes are reasonable. However, actual additional costs that will be incurred and cost savings could be different from the estimates and would depend on several factors, including the economic environment, KDP management’s ultimate integration strategy, results of contractual negotiations with third-party vendors, ability to execute on proposed separation and integration plans, and strategic decisions made in areas such as human resources, insurance and information technology. In addition, adverse effects and limitations including those discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” to this offering memorandum may impact actual costs incurred. If Global Coffee Co. decides to increase or reduce resources or invest more heavily in certain areas in the future, that will be part of its future decisions and have not been included in the Management Adjustments below.

The tax effect on the above adjustments has been calculated based on the blended federal and statutory rates of approximately 25% for the year ended December 31, 2025. Because the tax rates used for this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are an estimate, the blended rate will likely vary from the actual effective tax rate in periods subsequent to the completion of the JDE Peet’s Acquisition.
