Summary

The Coca-Cola Company recorded a $960 million impairment charge on its BodyArmor sports performance and hydration trademark after revised projections lowered the brand's expected future performance, leaving a remaining carrying value of $2.44 billion. Coca-Cola also refranchised bottling operations in certain territories in India in May 2025 and sold finished product operations in Nigeria in October 2025.

Key points

  • The Coca-Cola Company recorded a $960 million impairment charge on its BodyArmor sports performance and hydration trademark, driven by revised projections of future operating results, a slowing projected long-term category growth rate, an intensifying competitive environment, and more focused innovation and international rollout plans.
  • The remaining carrying value of the BodyArmor trademark is $2.44 billion, and as of October 2, 2026, its fair value approximates its carrying value.
  • Coca-Cola said additional impairment is likely if near-term operating results do not achieve revised financial projections or if macroeconomic conditions increase the discount rate without offsetting operating gains.
  • In May 2025, Coca-Cola refranchised bottling operations in certain territories in India, and in October 2025 it sold finished product operations in Nigeria.
