The company, which owns Gatorade, Mountain Dew beverages, and Frito-Lay, posted $2.7 billion in net income, up from $2.22 billion during the same period last year. Organic revenue increased 16% year-over-year.

During the quarter ending Sept. 3, the company expanded its energy and sports drink portfolio.

  • In September, it launched caffeinated energy drink Gatorade FastTwitch with the NFL. The drink will hit stores in February 2023, but it’s available on NFL sidelines this season.
