Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Our Divisions

Basis of Presentation

When used in this report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “PepsiCo” and the “Company” mean PepsiCo, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, collectively.

Our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 9, 2017, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 9, 2017 and September 3, 2016, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Equity for the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2017 and September 3, 2016 have not been audited. These statements have been prepared on a basis that is substantially consistent with the accounting principles applied in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. This report should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. In our opinion, these financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation. The results for the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 9, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any future period or the full year.

While our financial results in the United States and Canada (North America) are reported on a 12-week basis, most of our international operations report on a monthly calendar basis for which the months of June, July and August are reflected in our third quarter results.

Our significant interim accounting policies include the recognition of a pro rata share of certain estimated annual sales incentives and certain advertising and marketing costs in proportion to revenue or volume, as applicable, and the recognition of income taxes using an estimated annual effective tax rate. Raw materials, direct labor and plant overhead, as well as purchasing and receiving costs, costs directly related to production planning, inspection costs and raw materials handling facilities, are included in cost of sales. The costs of moving, storing and delivering finished product are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

The following information is unaudited. Unless otherwise noted, tabular dollars are in millions, except per share amounts. All per share amounts reflect common per share amounts, assume dilution unless otherwise noted, and are based on unrounded amounts. Reclassifications were made to the prior year’s financial statements to reflect the adoption of the recently issued accounting pronouncements disclosed in Note 2.

Our Divisions

We are organized into six reportable segments (also referred to as divisions), as follows:


1)	Frito-Lay North America (FLNA), which includes our branded food and snack businesses in the United States and Canada;


2)	Quaker Foods North America (QFNA), which includes our cereal, rice, pasta and other branded food businesses in the United States and Canada;


3)	North America Beverages (NAB), which includes our beverage businesses in the United States and Canada;


4)	Latin America, which includes all of our beverage, food and snack businesses in Latin America;


5)	Europe Sub-Saharan Africa (ESSA), which includes all of our beverage, food and snack businesses in Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa; and


6)	Asia, Middle East and North Africa (AMENA), which includes all of our beverage, food and snack businesses in Asia, Middle East and North Africa.

Note 2 - Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted

In 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance that changes the accounting for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees. We adopted the provisions of this guidance during our first quarter of 2017, resulting in the following impacts to our financial statements:

•

Income tax effects of vested or settled awards were recognized in the provision for income taxes on our income statement on a prospective basis. Previously, these tax effects were recorded on our equity statement in capital in excess of par value. For the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 9, 2017, our excess tax benefits were $22 million and $93 million, respectively, resulting in a $0.01 and $0.06 increase to diluted net income attributable to PepsiCo per common share. For the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 3, 2016, our excess tax benefits recognized were $30 million and $86 million, respectively. If we had applied this standard in 2016, there would have been a $0.02 increase to diluted net income attributable to PepsiCo per common share for the 12 weeks ended September 3, 2016 and a $0.05 increase to diluted net income attributable to PepsiCo per common share for the 36 weeks ended September 3, 2016. The ongoing impact on our financial statements is dependent on the timing of when awards vest or are exercised, our tax rate and the intrinsic value when awards vest or are exercised.

•

Excess tax benefits are retrospectively presented within operating activities and withholding tax payments upon vesting of restricted stock units (RSUs), performance stock units (PSUs) and PepsiCo equity performance units (PEPunits) are retrospectively presented within financing activities in the cash flow statement. The adoption resulted in an increase of $257 million and $229 million in our operating cash flow with a corresponding decrease in our financing cash flow for the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2017 and September 3, 2016, respectively.

The guidance also allows for the employer to repurchase more of an employee’s shares for tax withholding purposes and not classify the award as a liability that requires valuation on a mark-to-market basis. Our accounting treatment for outstanding awards was not impacted by our adoption of this provision. In addition, the guidance allows for a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. We will continue to apply our policy of estimating forfeitures.

In 2016, the FASB issued guidance that eliminates the requirement that an investor retrospectively apply equity method accounting for an investment originally accounted for by another method. The guidance requires that an equity method investor add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee to the current basis of the investor’s previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investor’s ability to exercise significant influence over the investment is achieved. We adopted the provisions of this guidance prospectively during our first quarter of 2017; the adoption did not impact our financial statements.

In 2015, the FASB issued guidance that requires companies to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent on the balance sheet. We adopted the provisions of this guidance retrospectively during our first quarter of 2017, resulting in the reclassification of $639 million of deferred taxes from current to non-current on our balance sheet as of December 31, 2016.

Not Yet Adopted

In 2017, the FASB issued guidance to amend the hedge accounting rules to simplify the application of hedge accounting guidance and better portray the economic results of risk management activities in the financial statements. The guidance expands the ability to hedge nonfinancial and financial risk components, reduces complexity in fair value hedges of interest rate risk, eliminates the requirement to separately measure and

report hedge ineffectiveness, as well as eases certain hedge effectiveness assessment requirements. The guidance is effective beginning in 2019 with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance, including transition elections and required disclosures, on our financial statements and the timing of adoption.

In 2017, the FASB issued guidance that requires companies to retrospectively present the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost for pension and retiree medical plans along with other compensation costs in operating profit and present the other components of net periodic benefit cost below operating profit in the income statement. The guidance also allows only the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost to be eligible for capitalization within inventory or fixed assets on a prospective basis. We will adopt the guidance when it becomes effective in the first quarter of 2018. In connection with this adoption, we expect to record a decrease in operating profit of $69 million and $210 million in the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 9, 2017, respectively, and an increase in operating profit of $19 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and Note 7 in this Form 10-Q for further information on our service cost and other components of net periodic benefit cost for pension and retiree medical plans.

In 2016, the FASB issued guidance to clarify how restricted cash should be presented in the cash flow statement. The guidance is effective beginning in 2018 with early adoption permitted. The guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements. We are currently evaluating the timing of adoption of this guidance.

In 2016, the FASB issued guidance that requires companies to account for the income tax effects of intercompany transfers of assets, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs versus deferring income tax effects until the transferred asset is sold to an outside party or otherwise recognized. We will adopt the guidance when it becomes effective in the first quarter of 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on transactions involving intercompany transfers of assets in the various jurisdictions in which we operate.

In 2016, the FASB issued guidance that changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments, entities will be required to use a new forward-looking expected loss model that will replace today’s incurred loss model and generally will result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, entities will measure credit losses in a manner similar to current practice, except that the losses will be recognized as an allowance. The guidance is effective beginning in 2020 with early adoption permitted in 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our financial statements and the timing of adoption.

In 2016, the FASB issued guidance that requires lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet, but record expenses on the income statement in a manner similar to current accounting. For lessors, the guidance modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. The guidance is effective beginning in 2019 with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our financial statements and related disclosures, including the increase in the assets and liabilities on our balance sheet and the impact on our current lease portfolio from both a lessor and lessee perspective. To facilitate this, we are utilizing a comprehensive approach to review our lease portfolio, as well as assessing system requirements and control implications. In addition, we are currently evaluating the timing of adoption of this guidance. See Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 for our minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases.

In 2016, the FASB issued guidance that requires companies to measure investments in certain equity securities at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income. We will adopt the guidance when it becomes effective in the first quarter of 2018. The guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements. In the second quarter of 2017, we sold our minority stake in Britvic, representing all of our available-for-sale equity securities, which reduced the risk and volatility of these investments in our income statement in the future. See Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and Note 10 in this Form 10-Q for further information on our available-for-sale securities.

In 2014, the FASB issued guidance on revenue recognition, with final amendments issued in 2016. The guidance provides for a five-step model to determine the revenue recognized for the transfer of goods or services to customers that reflects the expected entitled consideration in exchange for those goods or services. It also provides clarification for principal versus agent considerations and identifying performance obligations. In addition, the FASB introduced practical expedients related to disclosures of remaining performance obligations, as well as other amendments related to guidance on collectibility, non-cash consideration and the presentation of sales and other similar taxes. Financial statement disclosures required under the guidance will enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing, judgments and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows relating to customer contracts. The two permitted transition methods under the guidance are the full retrospective approach or a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening retained earnings in the year of adoption (cumulative effect approach). We expect to adopt using the cumulative effect approach. We will adopt the guidance when it becomes effective in the first quarter of 2018.

We are utilizing a comprehensive approach to assess the impact of the guidance on our contract portfolio by reviewing our current accounting policies and practices to identify potential differences that would result from applying the new requirements to our revenue contracts, including evaluation of our performance obligations, principal versus agent considerations and variable consideration. We have made significant progress on our contract and business process reviews. We are also in the process of evaluating the impact, if any, on changes to our controls to support recognition and disclosures under the new guidance. Based on the foregoing, we do not currently expect this guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Note 3 - Restructuring and Impairment Charges

We publicly announced a multi-year productivity plan on February 13, 2014 (2014 Productivity Plan) that includes the next generation of productivity initiatives that we believe will strengthen our food, snack and beverage businesses by: accelerating our investment in manufacturing automation; further optimizing our global manufacturing footprint, including closing certain manufacturing facilities; re-engineering our go-to-market systems in developed markets; expanding shared services; and implementing simplified organization structures to drive efficiency.

In the 12 weeks ended September 9, 2017 and September 3, 2016, we incurred restructuring charges of $8 million ($7 million after-tax with nominal amount per share) and $27 million ($20 million after-tax or $0.01 per share), respectively, in conjunction with our 2014 Productivity Plan. In the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2017 and September 3, 2016, we incurred restructuring charges of $69 million ($65 million after-tax or $0.05 per share) and $106 million ($76 million after-tax or $0.05 per share), respectively. All of these net charges were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses and primarily relate to severance and other employee-related costs, asset impairments (all non-cash) and other costs associated with the implementation of our initiatives, including contract termination costs. Substantially all of the restructuring accrual at September 9, 2017 is expected to be paid by the end of 2018.

Note 7 - Pension and Retiree Medical Benefits

Effective January 1, 2017, the U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans were reorganized into the PepsiCo Employees Retirement Plan A, or active plan, and the PepsiCo Employees Retirement Plan I, or inactive plan. Actuarial gains and losses associated with the active plan are amortized over the average remaining service life of the active participants (approximately 11 years beginning in 2017), while the actuarial gains and losses associated with the inactive plan are amortized over the remaining life expectancy of the inactive participants (approximately 27 years beginning in 2017). The pre-tax reduction in net periodic benefit cost associated with this change was $10 million ($7 million after-tax with a nominal amount per share) in the 12 weeks ended September 9, 2017, and $29 million ($19 million after-tax or $0.01 per share) in the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2017 and will approximate $40 million in the full year 2017, primarily impacting corporate unallocated.

The components of net periodic benefit cost for pension and retiree medical plans are as follows:

(a)	Represents gross proceeds from issuances of long-term debt excluding debt issuance costs, discounts and premiums.


(b)	These notes, issued in Canadian dollars, were designated as a net investment hedge to partially offset the effects of foreign currency on our investments in certain of our foreign subsidiaries.

The net proceeds from the issuances of the above notes were used for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of commercial paper.

In the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2017, $3.3 billion of senior notes matured and were paid.

In the second quarter of 2017, we entered into a new five-year unsecured revolving credit agreement (Five-Year Credit Agreement) which expires on June 5, 2022. The Five-Year Credit Agreement enables us and our borrowing subsidiaries to borrow up to $3.75 billion, subject to customary terms and conditions. We may request that commitments under this agreement be increased up to $4.5 billion. Additionally, we may, once a year, request renewal of the agreement for an additional one-year period.

Also in the second quarter of 2017, we entered into a new 364-day unsecured revolving credit agreement (364-Day Credit Agreement) which expires on June 4, 2018. The 364-Day Credit Agreement enables us and our borrowing subsidiaries to borrow up to $3.75 billion, subject to customary terms and conditions. We may request that commitments under this agreement be increased up to $4.5 billion. We may request renewal of this facility for an additional 364-day period or convert any amounts outstanding into a term loan for a period

of up to one year, which would mature no later than the anniversary of the then effective termination date. The Five-Year Credit Agreement and the 364-Day Credit Agreement together replaced our $3.7225 billion five-year credit agreement and our $3.7225 billion 364-day credit agreement both dated as of June 6, 2016. Funds borrowed under the Five-Year Credit Agreement and the 364-Day Credit Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes. Subject to certain conditions, we may borrow, prepay and reborrow amounts under these agreements. As of September 9, 2017, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Five-Year Credit Agreement or the 364-Day Credit Agreement.

As of September 9, 2017, we had $3.8 billion of commercial paper outstanding.

Note 10 - Financial Instruments

We are exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in:


•	commodity prices, affecting the cost of our raw materials and energy;


•	foreign exchange rates and currency restrictions; and


•	interest rates.

There have been no material changes during the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2017 with respect to our risk management policies or strategies and valuation techniques used in measuring the fair value of the financial assets or liabilities disclosed in Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

The notional amounts of our financial instruments used to hedge the above risks as of September 9, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are as follows:



	Notional Amounts^(a)
	9/9/2017		12/31/2016

Based on quoted broker prices or other significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. As of September 9, 2017, $6.1 billion and $7.8 billion of debt securities were classified as cash equivalents and short-term investments, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, $4.6 billion and $6.8 billion of debt securities were classified as cash equivalents and short-term investments, respectively. Unrealized gains and losses on our investments in debt securities as of September 9, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were not material. All of our available-for-sale debt securities have maturities of one year or less.


(d)	Based on the price of index funds. Categorized as a Level 1 asset. These investments are classified as short-term investments and are used to manage a portion of market risk arising from our deferred compensation liability.


(e)	Based primarily on the price of our common stock.


(f)	Based on the fair value of investments corresponding to employees’ investment elections.


(g)	Based on LIBOR forward rates.


(h)	Based on recently reported market transactions of spot and forward rates.


(i)	Based on recently reported market transactions, primarily swap arrangements.

(a)

Foreign exchange derivative losses/gains are primarily included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Interest rate derivative losses/gains are primarily from fair value hedges and are included in interest expense. These losses/gains are substantially offset by decreases/increases in the value of the underlying debt, which are also included in interest expense. Commodity derivative losses/gains are included in either cost of sales or selling, general and administrative expenses, depending on the underlying commodity.


(b)	Foreign exchange derivative losses/gains are primarily included in cost of sales. Interest rate derivative losses/gains are included in interest expense. Commodity derivative losses/gains are included in either cost of sales or selling, general and administrative expenses, depending on the underlying commodity.

Based on current market conditions, we expect to reclassify net losses of $72 million related to our cash flow hedges from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net income during the next 12 months.

Tingyi-Asahi Beverages Holding Co. Ltd.

During the first quarter of 2016, we concluded that the decline in estimated fair value of our 5% indirect equity interest in TAB was other than temporary based on significant negative economic trends in China and changes in assumptions associated with TAB’s future financial performance arising from the disclosure by TAB’s parent company, Tingyi, regarding the operating results of its beverage business. As a result, we recorded a pre- and after-tax impairment charge of $373 million ($0.26 per share) in the first quarter of 2016 in the AMENA segment. This charge was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses on our income statement and reduced the value of our 5% indirect equity interest in TAB to its estimated fair value. The estimated fair value was derived using both an income and market approach, and is considered a non-

Table of Contents

recurring Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value of the investment in TAB was $166 million as of September 9, 2017. We continue to monitor the impact of economic and other developments on the remaining value of our investment in TAB.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Our discussion and analysis is intended to help the reader understand our results of operations and financial condition and is provided as an addition to, and should be read in connection with, our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Also refer to Note 1 of our condensed consolidated financial statements. Unless otherwise noted, tabular dollars are presented in millions, except per share amounts. All per share amounts reflect common stock per share amounts, assume dilution unless otherwise noted, and are based on unrounded amounts. Percentage changes are based on unrounded amounts.

Our Critical Accounting Policies

The critical accounting policies below should be read in conjunction with those outlined in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

Sales Incentives and Advertising and Marketing Costs

We offer sales incentives and discounts through various programs to customers and consumers. These incentives and discounts are primarily accounted for as a reduction of revenue. A number of our sales incentives, such as bottler funding to independent bottlers and customer volume rebates, are based on annual targets, and accruals are established during the year for the expected payout. These accruals are based on contract terms and our historical experience with similar programs and require management’s judgment with respect to estimating customer participation and performance levels. Differences between estimated expense and actual incentive costs are normally insignificant and are recognized in earnings in the period such differences are determined. Certain advertising and marketing costs are also based on annual targets.

For interim reporting, our policy is to allocate our forecasted full-year sales incentives for most of our programs to each of our interim reporting periods in the same year that benefits from the programs. The allocation methodology is based on our forecasted sales incentives for the full year and the proportion of each interim period’s actual gross revenue or volume, as applicable, to our forecasted annual gross revenue or volume, as applicable. Based on our review of the forecasts at each interim period, any changes in estimates and the related allocation of sales incentives are recognized beginning in the interim period that they are identified. In addition, we apply a similar allocation methodology for interim reporting purposes for certain advertising and other marketing activities.

Income Taxes

In determining our quarterly provision for income taxes, we use an estimated annual effective tax rate which is based on our expected annual income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available to us in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Subsequent recognition, derecognition and measurement of a tax position taken in a previous period are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur.

Our Business Risks

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Form 10-Q) contains statements reflecting our views about our future performance that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (Reform Act). Statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Reform Act are generally identified through the inclusion of words such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “drive,” “estimate,” “expect,” “expressed confidence,” “forecast,” “future,” “goal,” “guidance,” “intend,” “may,” “objective,” “outlook,” “plan,” “position,” “potential,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “strategy,” “target,” “will” or similar statements or variations of such words and other similar expressions. All statements addressing our future operating performance, and statements addressing

events and developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Reform Act. These forward-looking statements are based on currently available information, operating plans and projections about future events and trends. They inherently involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted in any such forward-looking statement. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: changes in demand for PepsiCo’s products, as a result of changes in consumer preferences or otherwise; changes in, or failure to comply with, applicable laws and regulations; imposition or proposed imposition of new or increased taxes aimed at PepsiCo’s products; imposition of labeling or warning requirements on PepsiCo’s products; changes in laws related to packaging and disposal of PepsiCo’s products; PepsiCo’s ability to compete effectively; political conditions, civil unrest or other developments and risks in the markets where PepsiCo’s products are made, manufactured, distributed or sold; PepsiCo’s ability to grow its business in developing and emerging markets; unfavorable economic conditions in the countries in which PepsiCo operates; the ability to protect information systems against, or effectively respond to, a cybersecurity incident or other disruption; increased costs, disruption of supply or shortages of raw materials and other supplies; business disruptions; product contamination or tampering or issues or concerns with respect to product quality, safety and integrity; damage to PepsiCo’s reputation or brand image; failure to successfully complete or integrate acquisitions and joint ventures into PepsiCo’s existing operations or to complete or manage divestitures or refranchisings; changes in estimates and underlying assumptions regarding future performance that could result in an impairment charge; increase in income tax rates, changes in income tax laws or disagreements with tax authorities; failure to realize anticipated benefits from PepsiCo’s productivity initiatives or global operating model; PepsiCo’s ability to recruit, hire or retain key employees or a highly skilled and diverse workforce; loss of any key customer or changes to the retail landscape; any downgrade or potential downgrade of PepsiCo’s credit ratings; PepsiCo’s ability to implement shared services or utilize information technology systems and networks effectively; fluctuations or other changes in exchange rates; climate change or water scarcity, or legal, regulatory or market measures to address climate change or water scarcity; failure to successfully negotiate collective bargaining agreements, or strikes or work stoppages; infringement of intellectual property rights; potential liabilities and costs from litigation or legal proceedings; and other factors that may adversely affect the price of PepsiCo’s publicly traded securities and financial performance including those described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Our Business Risks,” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and in “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Our Business Risks” of this Form 10-Q. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

In the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2017, our operations outside of North America reflect the months of January through August. In the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2017, our operations outside of the United States generated 41% of our net revenue, with Mexico, Russia, Canada, the United Kingdom and Brazil comprising approximately 19% of our net revenue. As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange risks in the international markets in which our products are made, manufactured, distributed or sold. In the 12 weeks ended September 9, 2017, unfavorable foreign exchange reduced net revenue growth by 1 percentage point due to declines in the Egyptian pound and Turkish lira, partially offset by appreciation in the Russian ruble and Mexican peso. In the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2017, unfavorable foreign exchange reduced net revenue growth by 1 percentage point due to declines in the Egyptian pound, Turkish lira, Pound sterling and the Mexican peso, partially offset by appreciation in the Russian ruble and Brazilian real. Currency declines against the U.S. dollar which are not offset could adversely impact our future financial results.

In addition, volatile economic, political and social conditions and civil unrest in certain markets in which our products are made, manufactured, distributed or sold, including in Brazil, China, India, Mexico, the

Table of Contents

Middle East, Russia and Turkey, and currency fluctuations in certain of these international markets, continue to result in challenging operating environments. We also continue to monitor the economic and political developments related to the United Kingdom’s pending withdrawal from the European Union, and the potential impact, if any, for the ESSA segment and our other businesses.

We continue to closely monitor the economic, operating and political environment in Russia. In the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2017 and September 3, 2016, total net revenue generated by our operations in Russia represented 5% and 4%, respectively, of our net revenue. As of September 9, 2017, we have $4.6 billion of long-lived assets in Russia.

The hurricanes and earthquakes which occurred recently in North and Central America did not materially impact our results for the third quarter of 2017. We continue to assess the impact of these events, which occurred just before and subsequent to the end of our third quarter of 2017.

Due to exchange restrictions and other conditions, effective at the end of the third quarter of 2015, we deconsolidated our Venezuelan subsidiaries and began accounting for our investments in our Venezuelan subsidiaries and joint venture using the cost method of accounting. We reduced the value of the cost method investments to their estimated fair values, resulting in a full impairment. The factors that led to our conclusions at the end of the third quarter of 2015 continued to exist through the end of the third quarter of 2017.

We do not have any guarantees related to our Venezuelan entities, and our ongoing contractual commitments to our Venezuelan businesses are not material. We will recognize income from dividends and sales of inventory to our Venezuelan entities, which have not been and are not expected to be material, to the extent cash in U.S. dollars is received. We have not received any cash in U.S. dollars from our Venezuelan entities since our deconsolidation at the end of the third quarter of 2015. We continue to monitor the conditions in Venezuela and their impact on our accounting and disclosures.

In addition, certain jurisdictions in which our products are made, manufactured, distributed or sold have either imposed, or are considering imposing, new or increased taxes on the manufacture, sale or distribution of our products, ingredients or substances contained in, or attributes of, our products or commodities used in the production of our products. These taxes vary in scope and form: some apply to all beverages, including non-caloric beverages, while others apply only to beverages with a caloric sweetener (e.g., sugar). Similarly, some measures apply a single tax rate per liquid ounce while others apply a graduated tax rate depending upon the amount of added sugar in the beverage.

We sell a wide variety of beverages, foods and snacks in more than 200 countries and territories and the profile of the products we sell, and the amount of revenue attributable to such products, varies by jurisdiction. Because of this, we cannot predict the scope or form potential taxes or other potential limitations on our products may take, and therefore cannot predict the impact of such taxes or limitations on our financial results. In addition, taxes and limitations may impact us and our competitors differently. We continue to monitor existing and proposed taxes in the jurisdictions in which our products are made, manufactured, distributed and sold and to consider actions we may take to potentially mitigate the unfavorable impact, if any, of such taxes or limitations, including advocating for alternative measures with respect to the imposition, form and scope of any such taxes or limitations.

See Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the fair values of our financial instruments as of September 9, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 for a discussion of these items. Cautionary statements included above and in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Our Business Risks,” included

Table of Contents

in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, should be considered when evaluating our trends and future results.

Results of Operations – Consolidated Review

Consolidated Results

Volume

Since our divisions each use different measures of physical unit volume (i.e., kilos, gallons, pounds and case sales), a common servings metric is necessary to reflect our consolidated physical unit volume. Our divisions’ physical volume measures are converted into servings based on U.S. Food and Drug Administration guidelines for single-serving sizes of our products. For each of the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 9, 2017, total servings was even with the prior year. For the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 3, 2016, total servings increased 3% and 2.5%, respectively.

We discuss volume for our beverage businesses on a bottler case sales (BCS) basis in which all beverage volume is converted to an 8-ounce-case metric. Most of our beverage volume is sold by our Company-owned and franchise-owned bottlers, and that portion is based on our bottlers’ sales to retailers and independent distributors. The remainder of our volume is based on our direct shipments to retailers and independent distributors. We report the majority of our international beverage volume on a monthly basis. Our third quarter includes beverage volume outside of North America for the months of June, July and August. Concentrate shipments and equivalents (CSE) represent our physical beverage volume shipments to independent bottlers, retailers and independent distributors, and is the measure upon which our revenue is based.

See “Results of Operations – Division Review” for a tabular presentation and discussion of key drivers of net revenue.

12 Weeks

Total operating profit increased 6% and operating profit margin increased 0.8 percentage points. Operating profit growth was driven by planned cost reductions across a number of expense categories, effective net pricing, as well as the impact of prior-year incremental investments into our business, which contributed 2 percentage points to operating profit growth. In addition, items affecting comparability (see “Items Affecting

Table of Contents

Comparability”) contributed 3 percentage points to operating profit growth and increased operating profit margin by 0.5 percentage points. These impacts were partially offset by certain operating cost increases and higher commodity costs. Commodity inflation reduced operating profit growth by 6 percentage points, attributable to inflation in the AMENA, Latin America, ESSA and FLNA segments. Corporate unallocated expenses decreased 41%, primarily due to mark-to-market net impact associated with commodity derivatives which is also included in the items affecting comparability mentioned above.

36 Weeks

Total operating profit increased 7% and operating profit margin increased 0.9 percentage points. Operating profit growth was driven by effective net pricing and planned cost reductions across a number of expense categories, as well as a gain associated with the sale of our minority stake in Britvic, which contributed 1 percentage point to operating profit growth. In addition, items affecting comparability (see “Items Affecting Comparability”) contributed 4 percentage points to operating profit growth and increased operating profit margin by 0.7 percentage points, primarily reflecting a prior-year impairment charge to reduce the value of our 5% indirect equity interest in TAB to its estimated fair value. These impacts were partially offset by certain operating cost increases, higher commodity costs and unfavorable foreign exchange. Commodity inflation reduced operating profit growth by 6 percentage points, primarily attributable to inflation in the AMENA, Latin America, ESSA and FLNA segments, partially offset by deflation in the QFNA segment. Corporate unallocated expenses increased 14%, primarily due to mark-to-market net impact associated with commodity derivatives which is also included in the items affecting comparability mentioned above.

12 Weeks

Net interest expense was consistent with the prior year. This reflects higher interest income due to higher interest rates and average cash balances, offset by higher interest expense due to higher average debt balances, as well as lower gains on the market value of investments used to economically hedge a portion of our deferred compensation liability.

The reported tax rate decreased 0.7 percentage points primarily reflecting the impact of recognizing excess tax benefits in the provision for income taxes as a result of the changes in accounting for certain aspects of

Table of Contents

share-based payments to employees in the current year (see Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information).

Net income attributable to PepsiCo increased 8% and net income attributable to PepsiCo per common share increased 9%. Items affecting comparability (see “Items Affecting Comparability”) positively contributed to both net income attributable to PepsiCo and net income attributable to PepsiCo per common share by 3 percentage points.

36 Weeks

Net interest expense decreased $37 million reflecting higher interest income due to higher interest rates and average cash balances, as well as gains on the market value of investments used to economically hedge a portion of our deferred compensation liability. These impacts were partially offset by higher interest expense due to higher average debt balances.

The reported tax rate decreased 3.3 percentage points reflecting the impact of the prior-year impairment charge to reduce the value of our 5% indirect equity interest in TAB to its estimated fair value, which had no corresponding tax benefit, as well as the impact of recognizing excess tax benefits in the provision for income taxes as a result of the changes in accounting for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees in the current year (see Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information).

Net income attributable to PepsiCo increased 13% and net income attributable to PepsiCo per common share increased 14%. Items affecting comparability (see “Items Affecting Comparability”) positively contributed 7 percentage points to both net income attributable to PepsiCo and net income attributable to PepsiCo per common share, primarily reflecting the prior-year impairment charge to reduce the value of our 5% indirect equity interest in TAB to its estimated fair value.

Non-GAAP Measures

Certain financial measures contained in this Form 10-Q adjust for the impact of specified items and are not in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). We use non-GAAP financial measures internally to make operating and strategic decisions, including the preparation of our annual operating plan, evaluation of our overall business performance and as a factor in determining compensation for certain employees. We believe presenting non-GAAP financial measures in this Form 10-Q provides additional information to facilitate comparison of our historical operating results and trends in our underlying operating results, and provides additional transparency on how we evaluate our business. We also believe presenting these measures in this Form 10-Q allows investors to view our performance using the same measures that we use in evaluating our financial and business performance and trends.

We consider quantitative and qualitative factors in assessing whether to adjust for the impact of items that may be significant or that could affect an understanding of our ongoing financial and business performance or trends. Examples of items for which we may make adjustments include: amounts related to mark-to-market gains or losses (non-cash); gains or losses associated with mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and other structural changes; charges related to restructuring programs; asset impairments (non-cash); amounts related to the resolution of tax positions; pension and retiree medical related items; debt redemptions; and remeasurements of net monetary assets. See below and “Items Affecting Comparability” for a description of adjustments to our U.S. GAAP financial measures in this Form 10-Q.

Non-GAAP information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as or comparable to similar non-GAAP measures presented by other companies.

Table of Contents

The following non-GAAP financial measures are contained in this Form 10-Q:


•	cost of sales, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expenses, noncontrolling interests and provision for income taxes, each adjusted for items affecting comparability;


•	operating profit/loss, adjusted for items affecting comparability, and net income attributable to PepsiCo per common share – diluted, adjusted for items affecting comparability, and the corresponding constant currency growth rates;


•	organic revenue; and


•	free cash flow.

Cost of Sales, Gross Profit, Selling, General and Administrative Expenses, Noncontrolling Interests and Provision for Income Taxes, Adjusted for Items Affecting Comparability; and Operating Profit/Loss, Adjusted for Items Affecting Comparability, and Net Income Attributable to PepsiCo per Common Share – Diluted, Adjusted for Items Affecting Comparability, and the Corresponding Constant Currency Growth Rates

Cost of sales, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expenses, noncontrolling interests and provision for income taxes, adjusted for items affecting comparability; and operating profit/loss, adjusted for items affecting comparability, and net income attributable to PepsiCo per common share – diluted, adjusted for items affecting comparability, each excludes the net impact of mark-to-market gains and losses on centrally managed commodities that do not qualify for hedge accounting, restructuring and impairment charges related to our 2014 Productivity Plan and a charge related to the transaction with Tingyi (see “Items Affecting Comparability” for a detailed description of each of these items). We also evaluate performance on operating profit/loss, adjusted for items affecting comparability, and net income attributable to PepsiCo per common share – diluted, adjusted for items affecting comparability, on a constant currency basis, which measures our financial results assuming constant foreign currency exchange rates used for translation based on the rates in effect for the comparable prior-year period. In order to compute our constant currency results, we multiply or divide, as appropriate, our current year U.S. dollar results by the current year average foreign exchange rates and then multiply or divide, as appropriate, those amounts by the prior-year average foreign exchange rates. We believe these measures provide useful information in evaluating the results of our business because they exclude items that we believe are not indicative of our ongoing performance.

Organic Revenue

We define organic revenue as net revenue adjusted for the impact of foreign exchange translation, as well as the impact from acquisitions, divestitures and other structural changes. In addition, our fiscal 2016 reported results included an extra week of results (53^rd reporting week). Organic revenue excludes the impact of the 53^rdreporting week in the fourth quarter of 2016. We believe organic revenue provides useful information in evaluating the results of our business because it excludes items that we believe are not indicative of ongoing performance or that we believe impact comparability with the prior year.

See “Organic Revenue Growth” in “Results of Operations – Division Review.”

Free Cash Flow

We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital spending, plus sales of property, plant and equipment. Since net capital spending is essential to our product innovation initiatives and maintaining our operational capabilities, we believe that it is a recurring and necessary use of cash. As such, we believe investors should also consider net capital spending when evaluating our cash from operating activities. Free cash flow is used by us primarily for financing activities, including debt repayments, dividends and share repurchases. Free cash flow is not a measure of cash available for discretionary expenditures since we have certain non-discretionary obligations such as debt service that are not deducted from the measure.

See “Free Cash Flow” in “Our Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Mark-to-Market Net Impact

We centrally manage commodity derivatives on behalf of our divisions. These commodity derivatives include agricultural products, metals and energy. Commodity derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are marked to market each period with the resulting gains and losses recorded in corporate unallocated expenses as either cost of sales or selling, general and administrative expenses, depending on the underlying commodity. These gains and losses are subsequently reflected in division results when the divisions recognize the cost of the underlying commodity in operating profit. Therefore, the divisions realize the economic effects of the derivative without experiencing any resulting mark-to-market volatility, which remains in corporate unallocated expenses.

Restructuring and Impairment Charges

In connection with our 2014 Productivity Plan, we expect to incur pre-tax charges of approximately $990 million, of which approximately $705 million represents cash expenditures, summarized by period as follows:



	Charges			Cash Expenditures
2013	$	53		$	—
2014	357			175		^(b)
2015	169			165		^(b)
2016	160			95

Fourth quarter 2017 (expected)	87			54
2018 (expected)	95			133
	$	990	^(a)	$	705

(a)

This total pre-tax charge is expected to consist of approximately $510 million of severance and other employee-related costs, approximately$160 million for asset impairments (all non-cash) resulting from plant closures and related actions, and approximately $320 million for other costs associated with the implementation of our initiatives, including contract termination costs. This charge is expected to impact reportable segments and Corporate approximately as follows: FLNA 12%, QFNA 2%, NAB 30%, Latin America 20%, ESSA 25%, AMENA 4% and Corporate 7%.


(b)	In 2015 and 2014, cash expenditures included $2 million and $10 million, respectively, reported on our cash flow statement in pension and retiree medical plan contributions.

See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information related to our 2014 Productivity Plan.

We regularly evaluate different productivity initiatives beyond the 2014 Productivity Plan discussed above and in Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Charge Related to the Transaction with Tingyi

During the first quarter of 2016, we recorded a pre- and after-tax impairment charge of $373 million ($0.26 per share) in the AMENA segment to reduce the value of our 5% indirect equity interest in TAB to its estimated fair value. See Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

Results of Operations – Division Review

The results and discussions below are based on how our Chief Executive Officer monitors the performance of our divisions. See “Non-GAAP Measures” and “Items Affecting Comparability” for a discussion of items to consider when evaluating our results and related information regarding non-GAAP measures.

In the discussions of net revenue and operating profit below, “effective net pricing” reflects the year-over-year impact of discrete pricing actions, sales incentive activities and mix resulting from selling varying products in different package sizes and in different countries, and “net pricing” reflects the year-over-year combined impact of list price changes, weight changes per package, discounts and allowances. Additionally, “acquisitions and divestitures,” except as otherwise noted, reflect all mergers and acquisitions activity, including the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and changes in ownership or control in consolidated subsidiaries and nonconsolidated equity investees.

(a)

Excludes the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and other structural changes. In certain instances, volume growth varies from the amounts disclosed in the following divisional discussions due to nonconsolidated joint venture volume, and, for our beverage businesses, temporary timing differences between BCS and CSE, as well as the mix of beverage volume sold by our Company-owned and franchise-owned bottlers. Our net revenue excludes nonconsolidated joint venture volume, and, for our beverage businesses, is based on CSE.


(b)	Includes the year-over-year impact of discrete pricing actions, sales incentive activities and mix resulting from selling varying products in different package sizes and in different countries.


(c)	Amounts may not sum due to rounding.

Net revenue grew 3% and volume was even with the prior year. The net revenue growth was primarily driven by effective net pricing. The volume performance reflects high-single-digit growth in variety packs, mid-single-digit growth in trademark Ruffles and double-digit growth in trademark Sunchips. These volume gains were offset by a mid-single-digit decline in trademark Lay’s.

Operating profit grew 5%, primarily reflecting the net revenue growth and planned cost reductions across a number of expense categories, as well as the impact of prior-year incremental investments into our business, which increased operating profit by 1 percentage point. These impacts were partially offset by certain operating cost increases, including strategic initiatives, as well as higher commodity costs, primarily cooking oil, which reduced operating profit growth by 1 percentage point.

Net revenue grew 3% and volume was even with the prior year. The net revenue growth was driven by effective net pricing. The volume performance reflects a mid-single-digit decline in trademark Lay’s, a double-digit decline in our Sabra joint venture products and a low-single-digit decline in trademark Doritos. These volume declines were offset by high-single-digit growth in variety packs and double-digit growth in trademark Ruffles.

Operating profit grew 5%, primarily reflecting the net revenue growth and planned cost reductions across a number of expense categories.

Net revenue and volume each grew 1%. The net revenue growth reflects the volume growth, which was primarily driven by mid-single-digit growth in oatmeal and double-digit growth in bars, partially offset by a low-single-digit decline in ready-to-eat cereals and a high-single-digit decline in trademark Roni.

Operating profit grew 2%, reflecting planned cost reductions across a number of expense categories and the volume growth. In addition, the impact of prior-year incremental investments into our business contributed 2 percentage points to operating profit growth. These impacts were partially offset by certain operating cost increases and unfavorable net pricing.

36 Weeks

Net revenue declined 1% and volume declined slightly. The net revenue decline primarily reflects unfavorable mix. The volume decline was driven by a high-single-digit decline in trademark Roni, a mid-single-digit decline in regional grains and a low-single-digit decline in ready-to-eat cereals, mostly offset by low-single-digit growth in oatmeal.

Operating profit grew slightly, reflecting planned cost reductions across a number of expense categories. In addition, favorable settlements of promotional spending accruals and lower commodity costs contributed 2 percentage points and 1 percentage point, respectively, to operating profit growth. These impacts were partially offset by certain operating cost increases, unfavorable mix and net pricing.

12 Weeks

Net revenue decreased 3%, reflecting a decline in volume, partially offset by effective net pricing, as well as acquisitions, which positively contributed 1 percentage point to the net revenue performance.

Volume decreased 5.5%, driven by a 6% decline in non-carbonated beverage volume and a 5% decline in carbonated soft drink (CSD) volume. The non-carbonated beverage volume decrease primarily reflected a double-digit decrease in Gatorade sports drinks and a high-single-digit decrease in our juice and juice drinks portfolio, partially offset by a low-single-digit increase in our overall water portfolio.

Operating profit decreased 10%, primarily reflecting the net revenue decline and certain operating cost increases. These impacts were partially offset by planned cost reductions across a number of expense categories, as well as a gain associated with a sale of an asset, which positively contributed 2 percentage points to the operating profit performance.

36 Weeks

Net revenue increased slightly, reflecting a 1-percentage-point contribution from acquisitions and effective net pricing, offset by a decline in volume.

Volume decreased 2%, driven by a 4% decline in CSD volume, partially offset by a slight increase in non-carbonated beverage volume. The increase in non-carbonated beverage volume reflected a high-single-digit increase in our overall water portfolio and a low-single-digit increase in Lipton ready-to-drink teas, offset by a low-single-digit decrease in Gatorade sports drinks and a mid-single-digit decrease in our juice and juice drinks portfolio. Acquisitions had a nominal positive contribution to the volume performance.

Operating profit decreased 2%, primarily reflecting certain operating cost increases. These impacts were partially offset by planned cost reductions across a number of expense categories, as well as favorable settlements of promotional spending accruals compared to the prior year, which positively contributed 1.5 percentage points to the operating profit performance.

Snacks volume grew 2%, driven by high-single-digit growth in China and Pakistan, and mid-single-digit growth in India. These impacts were partially offset by low-single-digit declines in the Middle East and Australia.

Beverage volume grew 1%, driven by high-single-digit growth in China and Pakistan and mid-single-digit growth in the Philippines. These impacts were partially offset by a mid-single-digit decline in the Middle East and a double-digit decline in India.

Operating profit increased 1%, mainly driven by the effective net pricing, planned cost reductions across a number of expense categories, lower advertising and marketing expenses and the volume growth. These impacts were partially offset by higher commodity costs, which reduced operating profit growth by 41 percentage points, primarily due to transaction-related foreign exchange on purchases of raw materials driven by a weak Egyptian pound, and certain operating cost increases. Unfavorable foreign exchange translation reduced operating profit growth by 13 percentage points.

36 Weeks

Net revenue decreased 7%, reflecting unfavorable foreign exchange, which negatively impacted net revenue performance by 11 percentage points. This impact was partially offset by effective net pricing.

Snacks volume grew 5%, driven by double-digit growth in Pakistan and high-single-digit growth in China. Additionally, the Middle East, India and Australia experienced mid-single-digit growth.

Beverage volume declined 1%, reflecting a double-digit decline in India and a mid-single-digit decline in the Middle East, partially offset by high-single-digit growth in China and Pakistan. Additionally, the Philippines experienced a slight decline.

Operating profit improvement primarily reflected a prior-year impairment charge to reduce the value of our 5% indirect equity interest in TAB to its estimated fair value, included in items affecting comparability in the above table (see “Items Affecting Comparability”). The effective net pricing and planned cost reductions across a number of expense categories also contributed to operating profit growth. These impacts were partially offset by higher commodity costs, which reduced operating profit growth by 29 percentage points, primarily due to transaction-related foreign exchange on purchases of raw materials driven by a weak Egyptian pound, and certain operating cost increases. Unfavorable foreign exchange translation reduced operating profit growth by 7 percentage points.

Our Liquidity and Capital Resources

We believe that our cash generating capability and financial condition, together with our revolving credit facilities and other available methods of debt financing, such as commercial paper borrowings and long-term debt financing, will be adequate to meet our operating, investing and financing needs. Our primary sources of cash available to fund cash outflows, such as our anticipated share repurchases, dividend payments and scheduled debt maturities, include cash from operations and proceeds obtained from issuances of commercial paper and long-term debt. However, there can be no assurance that volatility in the global capital and credit markets will not impair our ability to access these markets on terms commercially acceptable to us, or at all. See “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Our Business Risks” included in this Form 10-Q and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Our Business Risks” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

As of September 9, 2017, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $17.5 billion in our consolidated subsidiaries outside of the United States. As of September 9, 2017, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in our consolidated subsidiaries subject to currency controls or currency exchange restrictions were not material. To the extent foreign earnings are repatriated, such amounts would be subject to certain tax liabilities, both in the United States and in various applicable foreign jurisdictions.

Operating Activities

During the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2017, net cash provided by operating activities was $6.1 billion compared to $6.8 billion in the prior-year period. The operating cash flow performance in part reflects unfavorable working capital (comprised of changes in accounts and notes receivable, inventories, prepaid expenses and other current assets, and accounts payable and other current liabilities, each adjusted for the effects of currency translation). This decrease is mainly due to higher current year payments to vendors, vendor term extensions in the prior year, earlier current year trade spend deduction settlements with customers, timing of advertising and marketing spend, as well as the impact of higher trade accruals as of December 31, 2016, as compared to the prior year-end. These decreases were partially offset by higher collections of receivables in the current year.

Investing Activities

During the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2017, net cash used for investing activities was $2.3 billion, primarily reflecting net capital spending of $1.4 billion and net purchases of debt securities greater than three months of $1.0 billion.

We expect 2017 net capital spending to be approximately $3 billion, within our long-term capital spending target of less than or equal to 5% of net revenue.

Financing Activities

During the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2017, net cash used for financing activities was $2.8 billion, primarily reflecting the return of operating cash flow to our shareholders through dividend payments and share repurchases of $4.8 billion, partially offset by net proceeds from short-term borrowings of $1.5 billion and proceeds from exercises of stock options of $0.4 billion.

We annually review our capital structure with our Board of Directors, including our dividend policy and share repurchase activity. On February 15, 2017, we announced a 7.0% increase in our annualized dividend to $3.22 per share from $3.01 per share, effective with the dividend paid in June 2017. We expect to return a total of approximately $6.5 billion to shareholders in 2017 through share repurchases of approximately

$2.0 billion and dividends of approximately $4.5 billion. See Part II, “Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” for a description of our share repurchase program.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. For further information on free cash flow see “Non-GAAP Measures.”

The table below reconciles net cash provided by operating activities, as reflected on our cash flow statement, to our free cash flow.



	36 Weeks Ended
	9/9/2017			9/3/2016			% Change
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	6,062		$	6,824		(11	)
Capital spending	(1,474		)	(1,566		)
Sales of property, plant and equipment	82			59
Free cash flow ^(a)	$	4,670		$	5,317		(12	)

(a)

See “Non-GAAP Measures.” In addition, when evaluating free cash flow, we also consider the following items impacting comparability: $83 million and $90 million of payments related to restructuring charges in the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2017 and September 3, 2016, respectively, and associated net cash tax benefits related to restructuring charges of $23 million and $15 million in the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2017 and September 3, 2016, respectively; and $6 million and $7 million in discretionary pension contributions in the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2017 and September 3, 2016, respectively, and associated net cash tax benefits of $1 million in both the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2017 and September 3, 2016.

We use free cash flow primarily for financing activities, including debt repayments, dividends and share repurchases. We expect to continue to return free cash flow to our shareholders through dividends and share repurchases while maintaining Tier 1 commercial paper access, which we believe will ensure appropriate financial flexibility and ready access to global capital and credit markets at favorable interest rates. See “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Our Business Risks” included in this Form 10-Q and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Our Business Risks,” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, for certain factors that may impact our credit ratings or our operating cash flows.

Any downgrade of our credit ratings by a credit rating agency, especially any downgrade to below investment grade, whether or not as a result of our actions or factors which are beyond our control, could increase our future borrowing costs and impair our ability to access capital and credit markets on terms commercially acceptable to us, or at all. In addition, any downgrade of our current short-term credit ratings could impair our ability to access the commercial paper market with the same flexibility that we have experienced historically, and therefore require us to rely more heavily on more expensive types of debt financing. See “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Our Business Risks” included in this Form 10-Q and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Our Business Risks,” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, and Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

PepsiCo, Inc.:

We have reviewed the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of PepsiCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of September 9, 2017, the related Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 9, 2017 and September 3, 2016, and the related Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Equity for the thirty-six weeks ended September 9, 2017 and September 3, 2016. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of PepsiCo, Inc.’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Consolidated Balance Sheet of PepsiCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016, and the related Consolidated Statements of Income, Comprehensive Income, Cash Flows and Equity for the fiscal year then ended not presented herein; and in our report dated February 15, 2017, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2016, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the Consolidated Balance Sheet from which it has been derived.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Our Business Risks” and Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our third fiscal quarter of 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

During our third fiscal quarter of 2017, we continued migrating certain of our financial processing systems to an enterprise-wide systems solution. These systems implementations are part of our ongoing global business transformation initiative, and we plan to continue implementing such systems throughout other parts of our businesses over the course of the next few years. In connection with these implementations and resulting business process changes, we continue to enhance the design and documentation of our internal control over financial reporting processes to maintain effective controls over our financial reporting. This transition has not materially affected, and we do not expect it to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
