Executive SummaryWe issue a BUY recommendation on PepsiCo (PEP) based on an estimated fair price of USD109.90 using Discounted Dividend Model and Relative P/E Valuation. This implies a 9.5% upside from its closing price of USD100.39 on December 2nd, 2014. PEP has a highly diversified portfolio in beverage and food industry which positions it well relative to its competitors. The company has many opportunities in the emerging and developing markets around the world as well as in new product categories based on changing consumer tastes towards more healthy products.

Brand Recognition and Brand Building PepsiCo is the largest food and beverage business in the United States. It is the second largest beverage company in the world behind only Coca-Cola and the number one distributor of salty snacks. Its current brand recognition can be attributed to its aggressive marketing which continues to build brand awareness. Commercials, social responsibility and athlete/celebrity endorsements are just a few methods used by the PepsiCo marketing team. With its continued investments in marketing PepsiCo market share is likely to continue to grow.

Position in Emerging/Developing MarketsPepsiCo generates 49% of its revenue internationally. Recently growth in emerging markets such as India, China, Brazil, and developing nations such as Russia and Mexico are outpacing that of developed nations such as the United States. Although the international beverage industry is saturating, the salty snacks industry is relatively untapped. PepsiCo revenue from emerging/developing markets today is triple of what it was in 2006. PepsiCo management plans on continuing expansions and expects its revenue from emerging/developing markets to eventually be two-thirds of the total revenue.

Economic Analysis and OutlookUS Economic PerformanceImproving U.S. GDP Growth The US economy has been on a steady growth path since the financial crisis of 2008-2009 with occasional disruptions caused by non-fundamental factors such as extreme weather conditions (Figure 6). This comes at a time of slow economic growth in Europe and Japan, both of which have been struggling to reach their target inflation, employment and GDP growth rates.

In 2013 the US GDP grew by 1.9% which is very close to its long-term average growth rate of 2%. The growth rate is expected to remain around that level. Between the World Bank, United Nations, International Monetary Fund, and the Economist Intelligence Unit, the average projected growth rate for the U.S. GDP in 2014 is 2.3% and 3.1% in 2015.

Deceleration in Personal Expenditure Consumption, Still Remains at Good LevelsIn the last two quarters, the GDP growth was spurred by personal expenditure consumption (PEC). In the second quarter of 2014, the growth rate of PEC was equal to 2.5%. It has fallen down to 1.8% in the third quarter which is still a strong pace.

The nondurable goods component of PEC growth rate has fallen down to 1.1% in the third quarter from 2.2% in the second. Despite the fact that all of PepsiCo’s products belong to this segment, the company has managed to post strong results in the third quarter with a 2% year-over-year revenue growth.

Exports & Imports, Widening Trade DeficitThe exports of goods and services increased 7.8% in the third quarter while the imports have decreased 1.7%. In the previous quarter the exports grew at a higher rate of 11.1% and so did the imports at 11.3%.

The trade deficit in September of 2014 increased to $43.03 billion from a revised $39.99 billion in August (Figure 5). While the widening trade gap reflected a decrease in exports it is important to note that exports of foods, feeds, and beverages increased by $1.3 billion.Steady Inflation and Falling Unemployment ratesInflation rate was recorded at the same rate of 1.7% over the past three months beginning in August (Figure 8). Falling energy prices weighed down the index the most by falling 1.6% year-over-year. Food and shelter prices were the biggest gainers in October with 3.1% and 3% rates respectively.

The unemployment rate reached a six-year low of 5.8% in October of 2014 marking a positive trend since the financial crisis (Figure 9).

Low Interest Rate Environment and Changing Monetary Policy The interest rates in the US are at all-time lows with the FED Funds rate sitting at 0.25% and a 10-year Treasury rate of around 2.4%. This environment has allowed companies to borrow cheap on the long-term.

On October 29th, the US Federal Open Market Committee decided to end its asset purchase program that was initiated due to the financial crisis and helped to keep the interest rates low. While they announced that target Fed Funds rate will remain at the same level, they also mentioned that it may be going up sooner than they had anticipated assuming inflation and unemployment keep improving.

Economists predict the rates to start increasing in the second half of 2015.

Fiscal PolicyIn the third quarter of 2014 federal government consumption expenditures and gross investment increased 10% compared with a 0.9% decrease in the second. The biggest growth driver was a 16% increase in national defense expenditures which was caused by a U.S. campaign against ISIS and increased tensions with Moscow.

International and Political ImplicationsThe global growth has been causing worries among many investors in 2014, the slowdown in Europe, China, and Japan in particular. The European Central Bank announced that it will stimulate the economy with the asset purchasing program similar to the U.S. The Bank of Japan also announced an increased roll-out of its own quantitative easing program.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) states that global growth will be improving worldwide, due to expected accelerating recovery in advanced economies. The IMF estimates that global growth in GDP will be around 3.7% in 2014 and rise further to 3.9% in 2015.

Effects on PepsiCoPepsiCo will be effected in several ways with all of the possible upcoming changes to the global economy. Improved GDP and lower unemployment is a good thing for Pepsi as it will allow Americans to have more money for spending which will possibly be spent on unnecessary PepsiCo products. Once again Pepsi is helped by the increase in food exports, as well as a low interest rate. When interest rates rise

however, this will increase the financing costs of PepsiCo as well as most other companies.

Industry Overview and Competitive PositioningPepsiCo operates in two distinct industrial segments: liquid refreshment beverages and snacks. The refreshment beverage industry refers to the industry that produces non-alcoholic drinks such as soft drinks, sport and energy drinks, juices, bottled water, and ready-to-drink tea and coffee. The snacks industry includes the production of sweet, savory, and dairy snacks such as potato chips, corn chips, nuts etc.

Beverage Industry Changing Consumer Tastes: Health Conscious Buyer As a whole the beverage industry has seen a change in consumer tastes towards healthier drinks that are not primarily composed of corn syrup and sugar. Thus, in 2012-2013, the domestic sales of carbonated soft drinks (CSD’s) have declined 3.2% while the bottled water sales have increased 4.7% (Figure 10).

Declining Domestic, Solid Global Growth in CSDGlobally, CSD’s have made revenues exceeding 209 billion dollars which equates to a 1.8% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in revenues from 2009 to 2013. This rate is expected to increase in the next five years up to a CAGR of 2.1%.

Domestically, CSD’s are not doing quite as well, declining 3.2% in 2013. Since this segment is the single largest segment of the liquid refreshment beverage industry it’s not surprising that, overall, the industry declined 0.1%.

Declining Stage of Industry Life-CycleWe assigned the declining stage of the industry life-cycle to the beverage industry because of the declining domestic growth and changing consumer tastes.

Beverage Industry Five Forces AnalysisBargaining Power of Buyers: MediumThe typical customer is not very responsive to the changes in price of refreshment beverages due to a relatively low price of the good. Another reason for that is the brand loyalty towards certain products in the industry. On the other hand, if the prices go up substantially customers can easily stop consuming those beverages and switch to water or to a different brand, which is why we assigned a medium rating.

Bargaining Power of Suppliers: LowSuppliers for the beverage industry include bottling and distribution companies as well as companies that provide ingredients for beverages. All those companies have only a handful of customers with Pepsi, Coke, and Dr. Pepper being the largest. This

entails a very limited bargaining power from their side. Besides bottling, distribution, and ingredient companies, all remaining suppliers operate in very competitive markets.

Threat of New Entrants: LowThere are very few barriers to entry in the beverage industry and, thus, a potential for a lot of competition, the real threat from new entrants is very low. That is because of the few large companies dominating the beverage industry who buy out new companies when they grow to a decent size. Also, customer loyalty to those few companies contributes to the low threat of new entrants in the beverage industry whereas new companies will have difficulties making consumers switch to their brands forcing them to invest more money in marketing.

Threat of Substitutes: MediumThere are plenty of substitutes in each of the beverage industry segments, from CSD’s to sport drinks, etc. This implies a very high threat of substitutes in the industry. However, this threat is diminished by the customer loyalty existing in the industry.

Rivalry in the Industry: HighWith little to no growth in the industry, existing companies’ major method for growth is gaining competitors’ market share. This results in very intense marketing campaigns among the biggest players and aggressive pricing towards the lower end. The two biggest companies in the industry, Pepsi and Coke, are also the two biggest rivals competing against each other across product lines and geographic markets.

The Current Ratio shows the ability to meet short-term obligations. PepsiCo’s ratio of 1.2x is fairly consistent with the industry.

Total Asset Turnover shows how efficiently companies manage their assets. We can see that PepsiCo is ahead of the peer group in this regard with a ratio of 0.9x, higher than the average of 0.7x.

The average Debt/Capital ratio of 55.3% shows that beverage companies slightly prefer debt financing over equity. PepsiCo’s ratio is higher than the industry average.

Pepsi’s ROA of 8.2% is fairly consistent with the industry average of 8.4%. Average P/E ratio of 21.8x is slightly higher than the S&P 500 average of

20.05 meaning that investors expect better growth prospects of the beverage companies and/or less risky cash flows.

Snacks IndustryPreference for Healthier Products, Parallel to BeveragesThe snack food industry is very similar to the beverage industry in the sense that consumers worldwide are becoming more health conscious. Most of the companies have acknowledged that they are being called to take some form of action in developing healthier food options for the public and most have done so. Frito-Lay for example, has had good fortune producing their “baked” chips with lower amounts of salt.

Decelerating Domestic and Global GrowthThe snack industry has experienced a strong growth during the past five years at a CAGR of 3.8%. Overall, the industry’s domestic revenue is expected to increase at an average annual rate of 2.6% to $39.4 billion in the next five years, including a leap of 2.4% in 2015 alone.

Globally, the snacks industry has grown 5.1% CAGR between 2009 and 2013. The growth is expected to decelerate slightly to 4.8% CAGR until 2018.

Maturity Stage of the Industry Life-CyclePositive moderate growth rates globally and domestically were the primary reason we assigned maturity stage to the snacks industry. With most snack companies succeeding at fulfilling the concern for healthy options, there is plenty more room to grow.

Snacks Industry Five Forces AnalysisBargaining Power of Buyers: MediumThe customer has a medium level of bargaining power for the same reasons as the beverage industry. These reasons are a relatively low price of the good and customer/brand loyalty on one hand, and easy switching between products on the other.

Bargaining Power of Suppliers: HighThe bargaining power of suppliers is high due to their diversified customer base. High demand nature of raw materials (nuts, corn, wheat, grains etc.), also plays a part in the high power of the suppliers.

Threat of New Entrants: MediumIn regards to the threat of new entrants, the snacks industry is at a medium level due to the dominance of Frito-Lay Inc. and its acquisition power curbing any entrants’ attempt to become a big company. At the same time, consumers are always looking to try new healthy foods so having a small company with relatively low startup costs is always possible.

Threat of Substitutes: HighThe threat of substitute products is high because of many alternative brands for each type of snack food as well as limited brand loyalty in the industry. If customers are not loyal to a brand then they can choose private label companies to save money on snacks for nearly the same product.

9

Rivalry in the Industry: MediumThe rivalry among competing firms is medium. Although we don’t see Pepsi vs. Coke level of competition in snacks, the abundance of brands makes the industry quite competitive as well.

PepsiCo’s Current Ratio is above the average of 1.03x which means that the company is better positioned in the event of crisis.

The average Total Asset Turnover ratio of 0.87x is fairly consistent across the companies.

The average Debt/Capital ratio of 63.93% shows that snack companies are more aggressive in using debt financing than beverage companies. PepsiCo ratio is lower than the industry average making it relatively less risky.

Pepsi’s ROA of 8.2% is lower than the industry average of 10.77% which is probably the result of less leverage.

Average P/E ratio of 16.47x is lower than the S&P 500 average of 20.05 meaning that investors expect worse growth prospects of the snacks companies and/or more risky cash flows.

ValuationWe have used two methods to come up with our target price: Discounted Dividend Model (DDM) and P/E ratio relative valuation.

DDM ValuationThis model is appropriate to use when valuing PepsiCo because the company has been paying dividends for a very long period of time (Figure 12) and is expected to do so in the future. The DDM model is particularly sensitive to the following factors:

Dividend Growth Rate (g): The forecast of growth rate was based on the estimates of the ROE and the retention ratios. Over the last twenty years Pepsi’s ROE has been relatively stable deviating slightly from the 30% mark. Its retention ratio has been declining from more than 70% in 1990 down to around 50% in 2013 (Figure 13). We expect its ROE to decline in the coming years due to the mature and declining industries Pepsi operates in. The retention ratio is expected to keep declining as well.

Terminal Growth Rate: We decided to use a 2% terminal growth rate because of PepsiCo’s consistently good performance in the past, as well as potential in emerging markets.

Risk Free Rate (Rf): For the risk free rate we used an approximate 10-year treasury rate of 2.5% for the next two years (2015 - 2016). For the years 2017+ we decided to use a slightly higher 3.5% rate to account for the expected rise in interest rates.

Market Risk Premium (Rm-Rf): The market risk premium of 5% given in the outline seemed appropriate in our case.

Computations: Using the capital asset pricing model and the values in Figure 14 we attained a required rate of return of 5.3% in 2015-2016, and 6.3% from 2017 on. Our final fair price value for our DDM model was an average of our bullish and bearish scenarios resulting in a value of USD113.60.

P/E Ratio Relative ValuationFor the relative valuation we decided to use the P/E ratio forecast based on the comparisons with peers. Since Pepsi operates in two different industries, snacks and beverages, we decided to use both beverage and snack companies for our relative valuation.

By looking at the P/E and forward P/E ratios we can see two patterns emerge. Firstly, companies in the beverage industry have higher P/E ratios than do those in the snack industry. Secondly, we can see that the forward ratios decrease for both Coke and Dr. Pepper engaging in beverage business but increase for Kellogg and Kraft, snack companies. Since Pepsi engages in both beverage and snack businesses we had to come up with an estimate that fairly reflected P/E movements in opposite directions (Figure 14). Our final fair price for relative valuation came out to be USD106.20.

LiquidityThroughout the last few years, PepsiCo’s liquidity ratios have improved. This is shown primarily through the current and quick ratios both increasing by a drastic margin.

EfficiencyPepsiCo’s efficiency has had mixed results since 2011. On one hand, their total asset turnover has decreased a small amount implying that they are not managing their assets quite as efficiently as they once were. On the other, PepsiCo has proven that they are capable of generating revenue on the fixed assets that they have in place.

ProfitabilityOverall, the profitability of PepsiCo has remained fairly constant with a small decline in return on assets. The return on equity has stayed at around 30% throughout many years which is very impressive for a company of such a large size.

13

DebtPepsiCo’s use of long-term debt has stayed relatively constant as seen by the long-term debt to equity and to assets ratios. It’s important to note that the total debt to equity has fluctuated more edging up to 141% in 2014 from 122% in 2013. This implies that the company has taken out short-term financing which in theory should worsen PepsiCo’s liquidity but wasn’t the case in reality as the liquidity improved, discussed earlier.

Our DuPont analysis gives us an ROE of 30% which is extremely similar to PepsiCo’s actual ROE of 30.8%.

Common Size: Since 2009, many things for PepsiCo has remained the same. The only areas with a significant change are operating and net income. The decline in operating income can be attributed to the declining beverage industry which also affects the net income. The net income to the company has declined as well showing that PepsiCo focuses on making shareholders ducky. (Appendix 6)

SWOT AnalysisStrengths

Innovative Marketing - PepsiCo is the first company to use “music marketing” in 1984 when it teamed up with Michael Jackson. It’s also the sponsor for the Super Bowl half-time show.

Extensive Distribution Network - serving more than 10 million stores in 200 markets.

Diverse Product Line - PepsiCo does not simply rely on one product to bring in revenue but instead has 22 different billion-dollar brands across two industries. This is especially important considering the declining soda sales. Studies suggest that 30% of consumers who buy Pepsi drinks also buy Pepsi snacks.

With this combination of top-notch marketing, diversification and innovation, PepsiCo shows that it is a company that has a strong grip in all industries it’s involved in and that will not change anytime soon.

14

Weaknesses Profitability - PepsiCo’s profit margin has recently been lower than that of

its main competitors. This means that if the company wants to increase its profitability it needs either to increase prices which can result in lost customers or to decrease its costs which can potentially hurt the product quality.

Unhealthy Product Portfolio – As of today the product portfolio of PepsiCo is mostly unhealthy. It’s important that the company keeps up with the trend of changing consumer tastes.

Opportunities Emerging and Developing Markets - PepsiCo realizes that some of their

biggest opportunities lie in emerging and developing markets. Specifically Pepsi is investing in China and India. Currently 51% of PepsiCo sales are generated domestically.

New Products for Health Conscious Consumer - As consumer desire for healthier snacks and beverages is increasing so do opportunities for PepsiCo to enter these new industry segments through new ventures. Besides that, with PepsiCo’s substantial amount of capital power there are always more opportunities for them to increase market share through mergers and acquisitions.

Threats Competitors - Although PepsiCo is one of the dominant companies in its

industries, it does have a few competitors, Coca Cola, Dr. Pepper, Kraft, and Kellogg are always a threat to Pepsi's market share.

Regulation - U.S government is considering passing legislation that would force PepsiCo to disclose ingredients for some of its products that, as research suggests, may cause cancer.

Changing Consumer Taste - Another threat is that consumer tastes are changing, they are becoming more health conscious therefore reducing their purchases of snacks and carbonated beverages.

Corporate Governance and Social Responsibility Corporate GovernancePepsiCo has strict corporate standards that govern their operations. The rules, expectations and duties are outlined in the Corporate Governance Guidelines which are readily available on PepsiCo’s official website. The company has three committee charters: Audit, Compensation, and Nominating & Corporate Governance Committees. All statements and policies are available online which shows the company’s commitment to transparency.

Corporate Social ResponsibilityAll of PepsiCo’s corporate social responsibilities (CSR’s) activities are outlined in the latest Sustainability Report. Some of the highlights include:

Recently the company received 100% rating on the corporate equality index released by the LGBT human rights group campaign.

15

Since 1962 Pepsi is running a charitable program called PepsiCo Foundation which primarily focuses on nutrition, activity, safe water and water usages. They have given grants to programs such as the YMCA and United Way among others. The Foundation has helped 3 million people gain access to safe water as of 2013 and plans on doubling that by 2015.

PepsiCo realizes that environmental sustainability is becoming more and more parallel to sustainable success. Therefore plans are being put in place for developing systems to improve conservation. In the 2013 sustainability report, the company outlines its plans to eliminate waste from production facilities, implement innovative recyclable packaging, and protect and conserve water supplies.

Investment Risks and Upside PotentialDownside RisksAlong with the ordinary risks that a company goes through (tax increases, unfavorable economic conditions, failure to compete effectively, etc.), PepsiCo has a unique set of investment risks.

Operational Risk│ Inability to Grow in Emerging and Developing MarketsThere are a number of reasons that PepsiCo would not be able to expand to emerging markets that include unstable political conditions, civil unrest, and other developmental hazards. However, even if PepsiCo expands into other countries there is no guarantee that products will be enjoyed or purchased overseas due to cultural differences.

Operational Risk│Change in Consumer TastesAs mentioned throughout, consumer tastes in the last few years have changed drastically which already makes a stir in PepsiCo’s operations. In order to stay in business and make a profit they have had to adjust their products. PepsiCo says that their success depends on the, “ability to anticipate and respond to shifts in consumer trends,” which does include health concerns.

Market Risk│Fluctuations in Exchange RatesBeing a global giant in beverage and snacking, PepsiCo is very tangled with exchange rates throughout Europe and Latin America. With financial statements being presented in U.S. dollars, wavering exchange rates could have a negative or positive effect on the company’s financials.

Project ReflectionLearningWe all felt like we learned a great deal working on this project. The things we learned ranged from analyzing companies from their ratios, to valuing a company using mathematics. It absolutely helped us in applying the financial concepts learned in class to a real world report. Lastly, we learned to understand the importance of communication as a group.

16

DifficultiesOur group had a few difficulties throughout the semester on this project. It was hard to determine and agree upon an acceptable length of the paper, Bek won that quarrel. It was hard organizing our absurd first draft as well. It was difficult to know where to start and how to proceed with the free cash flow valuation. That is a part of the reason we decided to do the Discounted Dividend Model.

SimplicitiesThe outline gave a clear direction on what should be included in the paper. We feel as though we lucked out on group members, nobody missed any meeting and we all gave 100%.

Information ResourcesSee references page

ChangesA recommended length requirement (minimum or maximum) would be helpful. Perhaps requiring sections to be finished throughout the semester to prevent groups from procrastinating even though our group had very limited problems with that. Lastly, possibly have the project due two weeks earlier so that it isn’t coinciding with the trading project, or vice versa.
