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.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations for reporting the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Form 10-Q). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 28, 2019 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial 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 28, 2019 (2019 Form 10-K), as modified to reflect the adoption of the recently issued accounting pronouncement disclosed in Note 2 in this Form 10-Q. This report should be read in conjunction with our 2019 Form 10-K. In our opinion, these financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation. The results for the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2020 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, substantially all of our international operations report on a monthly calendar basis for which the months of January and February are reflected in our results for the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2020.

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, including merchandising activities, are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

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.

Our Divisions

As previously disclosed in our 2019 Form 10-K, during the fourth quarter of 2019, we realigned certain of our reportable segments to be consistent with a recent strategic realignment of our organizational structure and how our Chief Executive Officer assesses the performance of, and allocates resources to, our reportable segments. Our historical segment reporting presented in this report has been retrospectively revised to reflect the new organizational structure. These changes did not impact our consolidated financial results. See Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2019 Form 10-K for further information.

We are organized into seven 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;

Table of Contents


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


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


5)	Europe, which includes all of our beverage, food and snack businesses in Europe;


6)	Africa, Middle East and South Asia (AMESA), which includes all of our beverage, food and snack businesses in Africa, the Middle East and South Asia; and


7)	Asia Pacific, Australia and New Zealand and China region (APAC), which includes all of our beverage, food and snack businesses in Asia Pacific, Australia and New Zealand, and China region.

Net revenue and operating profit of each division are as follows:



	12 Weeks Ended
Net Revenue ^(a)	3/21/2020		3/23/2019
FLNA	$	4,074	$	3,815
QFNA	634		594
PBNA	4,838		4,510
LatAm	1,310		1,241
Europe	1,839		1,620
AMESA	631		579
APAC	555		525
Total	$	13,881	$	12,884

(a)

Our primary performance obligation is the distribution and sales of beverage, food and snack products to our customers. For the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2020 and March 23, 2019, our food and snack business represented approximately 55% of our consolidated net revenue. Internationally, LatAm’s food and snack business represented approximately 90% of the segment’s revenue, Europe’s beverage business and food and snack business represented approximately 55% and 45%, respectively, of the segment’s net revenue, AMESA’s beverage business and food and snack business represented approximately 35% and 65%, respectively, of the segment’s net revenue and APAC’s beverage business and food and snack business represented approximately 20% and 80%, respectively, of the segment’s net revenue. Beverage revenue from company-owned bottlers, which primarily includes our consolidated bottling operations in our PBNA and Europe segments, was approximately 40% of our consolidated net revenue. Generally, our finished goods beverage operations produce higher net revenue, but lower operating margins as compared to concentrate sold to authorized bottling partners for the manufacture of finished goods beverages.

(a)

In the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2020, operating profit includes $143 million of certain charges taken as a result of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, including $68 million of incremental allowances for expected credit losses ($21 million in FLNA, $2 million in QFNA, $41 million in PBNA and $4 million in Europe), $44 million of write-downs against upfront payments to customers in PBNA, $26 million of inventory write-downs and product returns ($3 million in FLNA, $22 million in PBNA and $1 million in APAC) and $5 million of certain other charges ($3 million in FLNA, $1 million in PBNA and $1 million in APAC).

Note 2 - Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted

In 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance that changes the impairment model used to measure credit losses for most financial assets. For our trade receivables, certain other receivables and certain other financial instruments, we are required to use a new forward-looking expected credit loss model that replaced the existing incurred credit loss model. The new model generally results in earlier recognition of allowances for credit losses. We adopted this guidance prospectively in the first quarter of 2020 and the adoption did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures. We recorded an after-tax cumulative effect decrease to retained earnings of $34 million ($44 million pre-tax) as of the beginning of 2020 and, during the first quarter of 2020, we increased our allowance for expected credit losses and recorded a pre-tax charge of $68 million. This increase in allowance reflects the forward-looking expected impact of the global economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19, leveraging estimates of credit worthiness, default and recovery rates for certain of our customers, including foodservice and vending businesses.

Not Yet Adopted

In 2019, the FASB issued guidance to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The guidance primarily addresses how to (1) recognize a deferred tax liability after we transition to or from the equity method of accounting, (2) evaluate if a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill is related to a business combination or is a separate transaction, (3) recognize all of the effects of a change in tax law in the period of enactment, including adjusting the estimated annual tax rate, and (4) include the amount of tax based on income in the income tax provision and any incremental amount as a tax not based on income for hybrid tax regimes. The guidance is effective in the first quarter of 2021 with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our financial statements and the timing of adoption.

Note 3 - Restructuring and Impairment Charges

2019 Multi-Year Productivity Plan

We publicly announced a multi-year productivity plan on February 15, 2019 (2019 Productivity Plan) that will leverage new technology and business models to further simplify, harmonize and automate processes; re-engineer our go-to-market and information systems, including deploying the right automation for each market; and simplify our organization and optimize our manufacturing and supply chain footprint. In connection with this plan, we expect to incur pre-tax charges of approximately $2.5 billion and cash expenditures of approximately $1.6 billion. These pre-tax charges are expected to consist of approximately 70% of severance and other employee-related costs, 15% for asset impairments (all non-cash) resulting from plant closures and related actions, and 15% for other costs associated with the implementation of our initiatives. We expect to complete this plan by 2023.

The total expected plan pre-tax charges are expected to be incurred by division approximately as follows:



	FLNA		QFNA		PBNA		LatAm		Europe		AMESA		APAC		Corporate
Expected pre-tax charges	11	%	2	%	30	%	10	%	25	%	8	%	5	%	9	%

Note 5 - Income Taxes

Tax Cuts and Jobs Act

During the fourth quarter of 2017, the TCJ Act was enacted in the United States. The related provisional measurement period allowed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) ended in the fourth quarter of 2018. While our accounting for the recorded impact of the TCJ Act was deemed to be complete, additional guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) impacted our recorded amounts after December 29, 2018.

There were no tax amounts recognized in the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2020 related to the TCJ Act. In the 12 weeks ended March 23, 2019, we recognized tax benefits of $29 million ($0.02 per share) related to the TCJ Act.

Other Tax Matters

On May 19, 2019, a public referendum held in Switzerland passed the Federal Act on Tax Reform and AHV Financing (TRAF), effective January 1, 2020. There were no income tax adjustments recorded in the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2020 related to the TRAF. Enactment of additional TRAF provisions subsequent to March 21, 2020 is expected to result in adjustments to our financial statements and related disclosures in future periods. The future impact of the TRAF cannot currently be reasonably estimated; we will continue to monitor and assess the impact the TRAF may have on our business and financial results.

For further information and discussion of the impacts of the TCJ Act and the TRAF, refer to Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2019 Form 10-K.

Subsequent to the end of our first quarter, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted on March 27, 2020 in the United States. The CARES Act and related notices include several significant provisions, including delaying certain payroll tax payments, mandatory transition tax payments under the TCJ Act, and estimated income tax payments that we expect to defer to future periods. We do not currently expect the CARES Act to have a material impact on our financial results, including on our annual estimated effective tax rate, or on our liquidity. We will continue to monitor and assess the impact the CARES Act and similar legislation in other countries may have on our business and financial results.

weeks ended March 21, 2020, we made a discretionary contribution of $150 million to the PepsiCo Employees Retirement Plan A (Plan A) in the United States. In the 12 weeks ended March 23, 2019, we made discretionary contributions of $150 million to Plan A in the United States and $17 million to our international plans.

Note 8 - Debt Obligations

In the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2020, we issued the following senior notes:



Interest Rate		Maturity Date	Amount^(a)
2.250	%	March 2025	$	1,500
2.625	%	March 2027	$	500

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

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

In the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2020, there were no maturities or prepayments of senior notes.

As of March 21, 2020, we had $2.8 billion of commercial paper outstanding.

On March 12, 2020, one of our international consolidated subsidiaries borrowed 21.7 billion South African rand, or approximately $1.3 billion, from our two unsecured bridge loan facilities (Bridge Loan Facilities) to fund our acquisition of Pioneer Food Group Ltd. (Pioneer Foods). These borrowings are subject to a weighted-average initial annual interest rate of 7.5%, which resets every month, have maturity dates within one year and can be prepaid at any time. No further borrowings under these Bridge Loan Facilities are permitted. On April 14, 2020, we repaid 6.6 billion South African rand, or approximately $360 million, with no gain or loss recorded, and we have initiated repayment of the remaining outstanding borrowings and therefore expect these Bridge Loan Facilities to be fully repaid in the second quarter of 2020.

Note 9 - 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 12 weeks ended March 21, 2020 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 2019 Form 10-K.

Certain of our agreements with our counterparties require us to post full collateral on derivative instruments in a net liability position if our credit rating is at A2 (Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.) or A (S&P Global Ratings), and we have been placed on credit watch for possible downgrade or if our credit rating falls below these levels. The fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position as of March 21, 2020 was $672 million. We have posted no collateral under these contracts and no credit-risk-related contingent features were triggered as of March 21, 2020.

Note 12 - Acquisitions and Divestitures

Acquisition of Pioneer Food Group Ltd.

On March 23, 2020, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Pioneer Foods, a food and beverage company in South Africa with exports to countries across the globe, for 110.00 South African rand per share in cash. The total consideration transferred was approximately $1.2 billion (or $1.2 billion, net of cash and cash equivalents acquired), and was funded by the Bridge Loan Facilities entered into by one of our international consolidated subsidiaries. See Note 8 for further information.

We will account for the transaction as a business combination in the second quarter of 2020. We will recognize and measure the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition, primarily in our AMESA segment. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed in Pioneer Foods as of the acquisition date, which primarily include goodwill and other intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, will be based on preliminary estimates that are subject to revisions and may result in adjustments to preliminary values as valuations are finalized. We expect to finalize these amounts as soon as possible, but no later than the second quarter of 2021.

Acquisition of Rockstar Energy Beverages (Rockstar)

On April 24, 2020, we acquired Rockstar, a manufacturer, distributor and marketer of energy beverages and related products, for an upfront cash payment of approximately $3.85 billion and contingent consideration related to future tax benefits associated with the acquisition of approximately $0.7 billion. The contingent consideration will be paid over up to 15 years, with an option to accelerate, and is measured based on discounted future cash flows with estimated maximum payments of approximately $1.1 billion using current tax rates. The purchase price will also be adjusted for net working capital amounts as of the acquisition date compared to targeted amounts set forth in the acquisition agreement.

Table of Contents

We will account for the transaction as a business combination in the second quarter of 2020. We will recognize and measure the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition, primarily in our PBNA segment. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed in Rockstar as of the acquisition date, which primarily include goodwill and other intangible assets, and the contingent consideration liability will be based on preliminary estimates that are subject to revisions and may result in adjustments to preliminary values as valuations are finalized. We expect to finalize these amounts as soon as possible, but no later than the second quarter of 2021.

In addition to our acquisition of Rockstar, as part of our overall energy strategy, we entered into an agreement with Vital Pharmaceuticals, Inc. for us and our bottlers to exclusively distribute Bang Energy drinks in the United States.

Acquisition of Hangzhou Haomusi Food Co., Ltd. (Be & Cheery)

On February 21, 2020, we entered into an agreement to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Be & Cheery, one of the largest online snacks companies in China, from Haoxiangni Health Food Co., Ltd. for $705 million. The purchase price will be adjusted for net working capital and net debt amounts as of the acquisition date compared to targeted amounts set forth in the acquisition agreement. The transaction is subject to certain regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions and will be recorded in our APAC segment. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2020.

Acquisition of SodaStream International Ltd.

On December 5, 2018, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of SodaStream, a manufacturer and distributor of sparkling water makers, for $144.00 per share in cash, in a transaction valued at approximately $3.3 billion. The total consideration transferred was $3.3 billion (or $3.2 billion, net of cash and cash equivalents acquired). The purchase price allocation was finalized in the fourth quarter of 2019. See Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2019 Form 10-K for further information.

Total marketplace spending includes sales incentives, discounts, advertising and other marketing activities. Sales 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, as products are delivered, for the expected payout, which may occur after year-end once reconciled and settled.

These accruals are based on contract terms and our historical experience with similar programs and require management judgment with respect to estimating customer and consumer 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. In addition, certain advertising and marketing costs are also based on annual targets and recognized during the year as incurred.

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 strategies and transactions, including transfer pricing arrangements, available to us in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Significant judgment is required in determining our annual tax rate and in evaluating our tax positions. Subsequent recognition, derecognition and measurement of a tax position taken in a previous period are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Our Business Risks” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” 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.

COVID-19

Our global operations expose us to risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, which has resulted in challenging operating environments. COVID-19 has spread across the globe to almost all of the countries in which our products are made, manufactured, distributed or sold. Authorities in many of these markets have implemented numerous measures to stall the spread of COVID-19, including travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, curfews, shelter in place orders, and business shutdowns. These measures have impacted and will further impact us, our customers (including our foodservice customers), consumers, employees, bottlers, contract manufacturers, distributors, joint venture partners, suppliers and other third parties with whom we do business. There is considerable uncertainty regarding how these measures and future measures in response to the pandemic will impact our business, including whether they will result in further changes in demand for our products, further increases in operating costs (whether as a result of changes to our supply chain or increases in employee costs or otherwise), how they will further impact our supply chain and whether they will result in further reduced availability of air or other commercial transport, port closures or border restrictions, each or all of which can impact our ability to make, manufacture, distribute and sell our products. In addition, measures that impact our ability to access our offices, plants, warehouses, distribution centers or other facilities, or that impact the ability of our customers (including our foodservice customers),

Table of Contents

consumers, employees, bottlers, contract manufacturers, distributors, joint venture partners, suppliers and other third parties to do the same, may impact the availability of our and their employees, many of whom are not able to perform their job functions remotely. We have implemented safety protocols at our facilities and have been working and will continue to work closely with our business partners on contingency planning in an effort to maintain supply. To date, we have not experienced a material disruption to our operations or supply chain, although we can reasonably envision that possibility.

Public concern regarding the risk of contracting COVID-19 impacts demand from consumers, including due to consumers not leaving their homes or otherwise shopping in a different manner than they historically have or because some of our consumers have lower discretionary income due to unemployment or reduced or limited work as a result of measures taken in response to the pandemic. As we sell a wide variety of beverages, foods and snacks in more than 200 countries and territories, the profile of the products we sell and the amount of revenue attributable to such products varies by jurisdiction and changes in demand as a result of COVID-19 will vary in scope and timing across these markets. In addition, changes in consumer purchasing and consumption patterns may increase demand for our products in one quarter, resulting in decreased consumer demand for our products in subsequent quarters, or in one sales channel resulting in potentially reduced profit from sales of our products. For example, to date, we have seen a shift in product and channel preferences, including an increase in at-home consumption and a decrease in immediate consumption and away-from-home channels, such as convenience and gas and foodservice, which negatively impacts our beverage businesses. Any reduced demand for our products or change in consumer purchasing and consumption patterns, as well as continued economic uncertainty, can adversely affect our customers’ and business partners’ financial condition, resulting in an inability to pay for our products, reduced or canceled orders of our products, closing of restaurants, stores, entertainment or sports complexes or other venues in which our products are sold, or our business partners’ inability to supply us with ingredients or other items necessary for us to make, manufacture, distribute or sell our products. Such adverse changes in our customers’ or business partners’ financial condition may also result in our recording additional impairment charges for our inability to recover or collect any accounts receivable, owned or leased assets, including certain foodservice and vending and other equipment, or prepaid expenses. In addition, economic uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in volatility in the global capital and credit markets which can impair our ability to access these markets on terms commercially acceptable to us, or at all.

While we have developed and implemented and continue to develop and implement health and safety protocols, business continuity plans and crisis management protocols in an effort to try to mitigate the negative impact of COVID-19 to our employees and our business, the extent of the impact of the pandemic on our business and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that we are not able to accurately predict and which all will vary by market, including the duration and scope of the pandemic, global economic conditions during and after the pandemic, governmental actions that have been taken, or may be taken in the future, in response to the pandemic and changes in consumer behavior in response to the pandemic, some of which may be more than just temporary.

Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act

Subsequent to the end of our first quarter, the CARES Act was enacted on March 27, 2020 in the United States. The CARES Act and related notices include several significant provisions, including delaying certain payroll tax payments, mandatory transition tax payments under the TCJ Act, and estimated income tax payments that we expect to defer to future periods. We do not currently expect the CARES Act to have a material impact on our financial results, including on our annual estimated effective tax rate, or on our liquidity. We will continue to monitor and assess the impact the CARES Act and similar legislation in other countries may have on our business and financial results. Refer to the COVID-19 discussion above for further information.

See Note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

Risks Associated with International Operations

In the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2020, substantially all of our financial results outside of North America reflect the months of January and February. In the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2020, our operations outside of the United States generated 35% of our consolidated net revenue, with Mexico, Canada, Russia, China, the United Kingdom and Brazil comprising approximately 19% of our consolidated 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 March 21, 2020, unfavorable foreign exchange had a net nominal impact on net revenue growth primarily due to declines in the Brazilian real and euro, offset by appreciation in the Russian ruble. 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 Argentina, Brazil, China, Mexico, the Middle East, Russia and Turkey and currency controls or fluctuations in certain of these international markets, continue to, and the threat or imposition of tariffs in or related to these international markets may, result in challenging operating environments.

We continue to monitor the economic and political developments related to the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union, including how the United Kingdom will interact with other European Union countries following its departure, as well as the economic, operating and political environment in Russia and the potential impact for the Europe segment and our other businesses.

See Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q for the fair values of our financial instruments as of March 21, 2020 and December 28, 2019 and Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2019 Form 10-K for a discussion of these items. Cautionary statements included above and in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Form 10-Q, 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” in our 2019 Form 10-K should be considered when evaluating our trends and future results.

Imposition of Taxes and Regulations on our Products

Certain jurisdictions in which our products are made, manufactured, distributed or sold have either imposed, or are considering imposing, new or increased taxes or regulations on the manufacture, distribution or sale of our products or their packaging, ingredients or substances contained in, or attributes of, our products or their packaging, commodities used in the production of our products or their packaging or the recyclability or recoverability of our packaging. These taxes and regulations vary in scope and form. For example, some taxes apply to all beverages, including non-caloric beverages, while others apply only to beverages with a caloric sweetener (e.g., sugar). In addition, some regulations apply to all products using certain types of packaging (e.g., plastic), while others are designed to increase the sustainability of packaging, encourage waste reduction and increased recycling rates or facilitate the waste management process or restrict the sale of products in certain packaging.

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, the amount of revenue attributable to such products and the type of packaging used varies by jurisdiction. Because of this, we cannot predict the scope or form potential taxes, regulations or other limitations on our products or their packaging may take, and therefore cannot predict the impact of such taxes, regulations or limitations on our financial results. In addition, taxes, regulations and limitations may impact us and our competitors differently. We continue to monitor existing and proposed taxes and regulations 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, regulations or limitations, including advocating alternative measures with respect to the imposition, form and scope of any such taxes, regulations or limitations.

Tax Cuts and Jobs Act

During the fourth quarter of 2017, the TCJ Act was enacted in the United States. The related provisional measurement period allowed by the SEC ended in the fourth quarter of 2018. While our accounting for the recorded impact of the TCJ Act was deemed to be complete, additional guidance issued by the IRS impacted our recorded amounts after December 29, 2018. For further information on the impact of the TCJ Act, see Note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements and “Our Liquidity and Capital Resources” in this Form 10-Q, as well as Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2019 Form 10-K.

Other Tax Matters

On May 19, 2019, a public referendum held in Switzerland passed the TRAF, effective January 1, 2020. There were no income tax adjustments recorded in the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2020 related to the TRAF. Enactment of additional TRAF provisions subsequent to March 21, 2020 is expected to result in adjustments to our financial statements and related disclosures in future periods. The future impact of the TRAF cannot currently be reasonably estimated; we will continue to monitor and assess the impact the TRAF may have on our business and financial results.

See Note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

Retail Landscape

Additionally, our industry continues to be affected by disruption of the retail landscape, including the rapid growth in sales through e-commerce websites and mobile commerce applications, including through subscription services, the integration of physical and digital operations among retailers and the international expansion of hard discounters. We continue to monitor changes in the retail landscape, including as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and seek to identify actions we may take to build our global e-commerce and digital capabilities, distribute our products effectively through all existing and emerging channels of trade and potentially mitigate any unfavorable impacts on our future results.

Results of Operations – Consolidated Review

Consolidated Results

Volume

Volume is one of the key metrics management uses internally to make operating and strategic decisions, including the preparation of our annual operating plan and the evaluation of our business performance. We believe volume provides additional information to facilitate the comparison of our historical operating performance and underlying trends, and provides additional transparency on how we evaluate our business because it measures demand for our products at the consumer level. Refer to “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Our Financial Results – Volume” included in our 2019 Form 10-K for further information on volume.

We report substantially all of our international beverage volume on a monthly calendar basis. The 12 weeks ended March 21, 2020 include beverage volume outside of North America for the months of January and February.

Our divisions’ physical volume measures are converted into servings based on U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommended guidelines for single-serving sizes of food and beverage products. The FDA revised the guidelines on recommended serving size for beverage products, effective January 1, 2020. Previously, FDA guidelines recommended a serving size of 8 fluid ounces for all beverages. The revised guidelines recommend a serving size of 8 fluid ounces for beverages that consist of milk, fruit juices, nectars and fruit drinks and 12 fluid ounces for other beverages. No changes were recommended to the serving size of food products. For the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2020, total servings increased 6%, which reflects the impact of the revised guidelines on our prior-year servings.

Consolidated Net Revenue and Operating Profit



	12 Weeks Ended
	3/21/2020			3/23/2019			Change
Net revenue	$	13,881		$	12,884		8	%
Operating profit	$	1,924		$	2,008		(4	)%
Operating profit margin	13.9		%	15.6		%	(1.7	)

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

We estimate that changes in consumer consumption patterns arising from the COVID-19 pandemic contributed approximately 2 percentage points to net revenue and organic revenue growth. This estimate of the COVID-19 impact to reported net revenue and organic revenue growth is based on our internal analysis of expected revenue performance as reflected in our internal records before and after when we believe, based on information currently available to us, the primary markets in each segment appear to have experienced changes in consumer patterns in response to the spread of COVID-19.

Operating profit decreased 4% and operating profit margin decreased 1.7 percentage points. Operating profit performance was primarily driven by a 10-percentage-point impact of an unfavorable mark-to-market net impact on commodity derivatives, primarily related to fuel-related derivatives, included in corporate unallocated expenses (see “Items Affecting Comparability”). Net revenue growth and productivity savings positively contributed to operating profit performance and were partially offset by certain operating cost increases and higher advertising and marketing expenses. Additionally, certain charges taken in connection with COVID-19 negatively impacted operating profit performance by 7 percentage points.

Results of Operations – Division Review

As previously disclosed in our 2019 Form 10-K, our historical segment reporting presented in this report has been retrospectively revised to reflect the new organizational structure. These changes did not impact our consolidated financial results.

While our financial results in North America are reported on a 12-week basis, substantially all of our international operations report on a monthly calendar basis for which the months of January and February are reflected in our results for the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2020.

See “Non-GAAP Measures” and “Items Affecting Comparability” for a discussion of items to consider when evaluating our results and related information regarding measures not in accordance with GAAP.

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” 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.

Excludes the impact of acquisitions and divestitures. 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 bottler case sales and concentrate shipments and equivalents (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 franchise-owned beverage businesses, is based on CSE.

FLNA

Net revenue grew 7% and volume grew 5%. The net revenue growth was primarily driven by the volume growth and effective net pricing. The volume growth primarily reflects double-digit growth in trademark Cheetos and Tostitos, and in variety packs, partially offset by a high-single-digit decline in trademark Santitas. The COVID-19 pandemic drove an increase in consumer demand, which had a positive impact on both net revenue and volume growth.

Operating profit increased 4%, primarily reflecting the net revenue growth and productivity savings, partially offset by certain operating cost increases, including a 2-percentage-point impact of certain charges taken as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Merger and integration charges related to our acquisition of BFY Brands reduced operating profit growth by 2 percentage points.

Table of Contents

QFNA

Net revenue grew 7% and volume grew 8%. The net revenue growth reflects the volume growth, partially offset by unfavorable net pricing and mix. The volume growth was broad-based across our product portfolio, and was primarily driven by double-digit growth in oatmeal, ready-to-eat cereals and trademark Roni. The COVID-19 pandemic drove an increase in consumer demand, which had a positive impact on both net revenue and volume growth.

Operating profit grew 8%, reflecting the volume growth and productivity savings, partially offset by certain operating cost increases, unfavorable net pricing and higher advertising and marketing expenses.

PBNA

Net revenue grew 7%, driven by an increase in volume, partially offset by unfavorable net pricing. Volume increased 6%, driven by a 14% increase in non-carbonated beverage (NCB) volume and a slight increase in carbonated soft drink volume. The NCB volume increase primarily reflected double-digit increases in both our overall water portfolio and Gatorade sports drinks and a mid-single-digit increase in Lipton ready-to-drink teas. The COVID-19 pandemic drove an increase in consumer demand, which had a positive impact on both net revenue and volume growth. In addition, acquisitions contributed 1 percentage point to the net revenue growth.

Operating profit decreased 24%, primarily reflecting a 27-percentage-point impact of certain charges taken as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The positive impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on consumer demand partially offset the decline in operating profit performance. In addition, operating cost increases, including incremental information technology costs, as well as higher advertising and marketing expenses were partially offset by the volume growth and productivity savings.

LatAm

Net revenue increased 6%, reflecting effective net pricing and volume growth, partially offset by a 2-percentage-point impact of unfavorable foreign exchange.

Snacks volume grew 2.5%, reflecting mid-single-digit growth in Mexico, partially offset by a low-single-digit decline in Brazil.

Beverage volume grew 5%, reflecting double-digit growth in Chile and mid-single-digit growth in Mexico, partially offset by a mid-single-digit decline in Colombia and a low-single-digit decline in Honduras. Additionally, Brazil and Guatemala each experienced low-single-digit growth and Argentina experienced mid-single-digit growth.

Operating profit increased 1%, reflecting the net revenue growth and productivity savings, partially offset by certain operating cost increases, higher advertising and marketing expenses and a 3-percentage-point impact of higher commodity costs. Additionally, the impact of a prior-year insurance settlement recovery related to the 2017 earthquake in Mexico reduced operating profit growth by 14 percentage points. Higher restructuring charges reduced operating profit by 2 percentage points.

Europe

Net revenue increased 14%, reflecting volume growth and effective net pricing. SodaStream contributed 6 percentage points to net revenue growth, which included the benefit of an extra month of sales as we aligned SodaStream’s reporting calendar with that of the Europe division. Since being acquired in the fourth quarter of 2018, SodaStream had been reporting on a one-month lag.

Snacks volume grew 5%, reflecting high-single-digit growth in the United Kingdom and France, double-digit growth in Turkey and mid-single-digit growth in Poland, partially offset by a low-single-digit decline

Net revenue increased 6%, reflecting effective net pricing and net volume growth, partially offset by a 2-percentage-point impact of unfavorable foreign exchange.

Snacks volume grew 3.5%, reflecting double-digit growth in Indonesia and mid-single-digit growth in Australia, partially offset by a low-single-digit decline in China and a slight decline in Taiwan. Additionally, Thailand experienced low-single-digit growth.

Beverage volume declined 2%, reflecting a mid-single-digit decline in China, partially offset by double-digit growth in the Philippines, mid-single-digit growth in Vietnam and low-single-digit growth in Thailand.

Operating profit increased 33%, reflecting the net revenue growth, productivity savings and a 3-percentage- point impact of lower commodity costs, partially offset by certain operating cost increases. Lower restructuring and impairment charges contributed 3 percentage points to operating profit growth.

Other pension and retiree medical benefits income increased $13 million, reflecting the recognition of fixed income gains on plan assets and the impact of approved plan contributions, partially offset by the decrease in discount rates.

Net interest expense and other increased $86 million, reflecting losses on the market value of investments used to economically hedge a portion of our deferred compensation liability, as well as lower interest income due to lower interest rates on average cash balances. These impacts were partially offset by lower interest expense due to lower interest rates on average debt balances.

The reported tax rate decreased 2.9 percentage points, primarily reflecting the prior-year increase in reserves for uncertain tax positions in foreign jurisdictions. This impact was partially offset by the prior-year net tax related to the TCJ Act, which increased the current-year reported tax rate by 1.5 percentage points.

Net income attributable to PepsiCo decreased 5% and net income attributable to PepsiCo per common share decreased 4%. Items affecting comparability (see “Items Affecting Comparability”) negatively impacted net income attributable to PepsiCo performance by 14 percentage points and net income attributable to PepsiCo per common share performance by 15 percentage points.

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. 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.

Table of Contents

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); charges related to restructuring plans; amounts associated with mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and other structural changes; pension and retiree medical related items; charges or adjustments related to the enactment of new laws, rules or regulations, such as significant tax law changes; amounts related to the resolution of tax positions; tax benefits related to reorganizations of our operations; debt redemptions, cash tender or exchange offers; asset impairments (non-cash); 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.

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

Cost of sales, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expenses, other pension and retiree medical benefits income, provision for income taxes and net income attributable to PepsiCo, each adjusted for items affecting comparability, operating profit, 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

These measures exclude the net impact of mark-to-market gains and losses on centrally managed commodity derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting, restructuring and impairment charges related to our 2019 Productivity Plan, inventory fair value adjustments and merger and integration charges associated with our acquisitions and net tax related to the TCJ Act (see “Items Affecting Comparability” for a detailed description of each of these items). We also evaluate performance on operating profit, adjusted for items affecting comparability and net income attributable to PepsiCo per common share – diluted, adjusted for items affecting comparability, each on a constant currency basis, which measure 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 growth

We define organic revenue growth as net revenue growth adjusted for the impact of foreign exchange translation, as well as the impact from acquisitions, divestitures and other structural changes. We believe organic revenue growth 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 “Net Revenue and Organic Revenue Growth” in “Results of Operations – Division Review” for further information.

Free cash flow

We define free cash flow as net cash used for operating activities less capital spending, plus sales of property, plant and equipment. Since net capital spending is essential to our product innovation initiatives and

Table of Contents

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” for further information.

(a)	Provision for income taxes is the expected tax charge/benefit on the underlying item based on the tax laws and income tax rates applicable to the underlying item in its corresponding tax jurisdiction.

Mark-to-Market Net Impact

We centrally manage commodity derivatives on behalf of our divisions. These commodity derivatives include energy, agricultural products and metals. 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

2019 Multi-Year Productivity Plan

In connection with our 2019 Productivity Plan, we expect to incur pre-tax charges of approximately $2.5 billion, of which we have incurred $546 million plan to date through March 21, 2020 and cash expenditures of approximately $1.6 billion, of which we have incurred approximately $321 million plan to date through March 21, 2020. We expect to incur pre-tax charges of approximately $400 million and cash expenditures of approximately $350 million for the remainder of 2020, with the balance to be reflected in our 2021 through 2023 financial results. These charges will be funded primarily through cash from operations. We expect to incur the majority of the remaining pre-tax charges and cash expenditures in our 2020 and 2021 results.

See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q, as well as Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2019 Form 10-K for further information related to our 2019 Productivity Plan.

We regularly evaluate productivity initiatives beyond the productivity plan and other initiatives discussed above and in Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Inventory Fair Value Adjustments and Merger and Integration Charges

Net Tax Related to the TCJ Act

During the fourth quarter of 2017, the TCJ Act was enacted in the United States. We recognized tax benefits of $29 million ($0.02 per share) in the 12 weeks ended March 23, 2019 related to the TCJ Act.

See Note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

Our Liquidity and Capital Resources

We believe that our cash generating capability and financial condition, together with our revolving credit facilities, bridge loan facilities, working capital lines 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, debt repayments, payments for acquisitions and the transition tax liability under the TCJ Act, include cash from operations, proceeds obtained from issuances of commercial paper, bridge loan facilities and long-term debt, and cash and cash equivalents. Our sources and uses of cash were not materially impacted by COVID-19 in the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2020 and, to date, we have not identified any material liquidity deficiencies as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the information currently available to us, we do not expect the impact of COVID-19 to have a material impact on our liquidity. We will continue to monitor and assess the impact COVID-19 may have on our business and financial results. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” “Our Business Risks” and Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements 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,” as well as Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2019 Form 10-K for further information.

Table of Contents

As of March 21, 2020, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in our consolidated subsidiaries subject to currency controls or currency exchange restrictions were not material.

The TCJ Act imposed a mandatory one-time transition tax on undistributed international earnings. As of March 21, 2020, our mandatory transition tax liability was $3.3 billion, which must be paid through 2026 under the provisions of the TCJ Act. See Note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the TCJ Act.

The CARES Act was enacted during our second quarter of 2020 and includes several significant provisions, including delaying certain payroll tax payments, mandatory transition tax payments under the TCJ Act, and estimated income tax payments that we expect to defer to future periods. We do not currently expect this legislation to have a material detrimental impact on our liquidity. We will continue to monitor and assess the impact the CARES Act and similar legislation in other countries may have on our business and financial results.

Operating Activities

During the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2020, net cash used for operating activities was $0.7 billion, compared to net cash used for operating activities of $0.3 billion in the prior-year period. The operating cash flow performance primarily reflects unfavorable working capital comparisons to 2019.

Investing Activities

During the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2020, net cash used for investing activities was $0.9 billion, primarily reflecting net capital spending of $0.5 billion and acquisitions of $0.5 billion.

In light of the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, we are currently reviewing our plans with respect to net capital spending.

Financing Activities

During the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2020, net cash provided by financing activities was $7.5 billion, primarily reflecting proceeds from issuances of long-term debt of $6.4 billion and net proceeds of short-term borrowings of $3.0 billion, partially offset by the return of operating cash flow to our shareholders through dividend payments and share repurchases of $1.9 billion.

We annually review our capital structure with our Board of Directors, including our dividend policy and share repurchase activity. On February 13, 2018, we announced the 2018 share repurchase program providing for the repurchase of up to $15.0 billion of PepsiCo common stock which commenced on July 1, 2018 and will expire on June 30, 2021. On February 13, 2020, we announced a 7% increase in our annualized dividend to $4.09 per share from $3.82 per share, effective with the dividend expected to be paid in June 2020. We expect to return a total of approximately $7.5 billion to shareholders in 2020 through share repurchases of approximately $2 billion and dividends of approximately $5.5 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

The table below reconciles net cash used for operating activities, as reflected on our cash flow statement, to our free cash flow. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. For further information on free cash flow see “Non-GAAP Measures.”



	12 Weeks Ended
	3/21/2020			3/23/2019

Capital spending	(484		)	(442		)
Sales of property, plant and equipment	5			2
Free cash flow, non-GAAP measure	$	(1,228	)	$	(785	)

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 facilitate appropriate financial flexibility and ready access to global capital and credit markets at favorable interest rates. See “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 2019 Form 10-K, 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 Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Our Business Risks” included in this Form 10-Q, as well as “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Item 7.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors

PepsiCo, Inc.:

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information

We have reviewed the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of PepsiCo, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of March 21, 2020, the related Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, Comprehensive Income, Cash Flows and Equity for the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2020 and March 23, 2019, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated interim financial information). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial information for it 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) (PCAOB), the Consolidated Balance Sheet of the Company as of December 28, 2019, and the related Consolidated Statements of Income, Comprehensive Income, Cash Flows and Equity for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 13, 2020, 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 28, 2019, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the Consolidated Balance Sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

This consolidated interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of consolidated 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 PCAOB, 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.

Risk Factors,” “Item 7. 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 2019 Form 10-K.

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 SEC 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 first quarter of 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

During our first quarter of 2020, 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. In addition, in connection with our 2019 Productivity Plan, we continue to migrate to shared business models across our operations to further simplify, harmonize and automate processes. 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. These transitions have not materially affected, and we do not expect them to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings.

The following information should be read in conjunction with the discussion set forth under Part I, “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” in our 2019 Form 10-K.

We and our subsidiaries are party to a variety of litigation, claims, legal or regulatory proceedings, inquiries and investigations. While the results of such litigation, claims, legal or regulatory proceedings, inquiries and investigations cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of the foregoing will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. See also “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Form 10-Q and “Item 1. Business – Regulatory Matters” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2019 Form 10-K.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors.

The following additional risk factor relating to COVID-19 should be read in conjunction with the risk factors set forth under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2019 Form 10-K. The developments described in this additional risk factor have heightened, or in some cases manifested, certain of the risks disclosed in the risk factor section of our 2019 Form 10-K, and such risk factors are further qualified by the information relating to COVID-19 that is described in this Form 10-Q, including in the additional risk factor below. Except as described herein, there have been no material changes with respect to the risk factors disclosed in our 2019 Form 10-K.

You should carefully consider the risks described below and in our 2019 Form 10-K in addition to the other information set forth in this Form 10-Q and in our 2019 Form 10-K, including the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations sections and the consolidated financial statements and related notes. These risks, some of which have occurred and any of which may occur in the future, can have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or the prices of our publicly traded securities. The risks described below and in our 2019 Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently deem to be immaterial, may occur or become material in the future and adversely affect our business, reputation, financial condition, results of operations or the prices of our publicly traded securities. Therefore, historical operating results, financial and business performance, events and trends are often not a reliable indicator of future operating results, financial and business performance, events or trends.

The impact of the spread of COVID-19 is creating significant uncertainty for our business, financial condition and results of operations and for the prices of our publicly traded securities.

The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that we are not able to accurately predict and which all will vary by market, including the duration and scope of the pandemic, global economic conditions during and after the pandemic, governmental actions that have been taken, or may be taken in the future, in response to the pandemic, and changes in consumer behavior in response to the pandemic, some of which may be more than just temporary.

Table of Contents

to the pandemic will impact our business, including whether they will result in further changes in demand for our products, further increases in operating costs (whether as a result of changes to our supply chain or increases in employee costs or otherwise), how they will further impact our supply chain and whether they will result in further reduced availability of air or other commercial transport, port closures or border restrictions, each or all of which can impact our ability to make, manufacture, distribute and sell our products. In addition, measures that impact our ability to access our offices, plants, warehouses, distribution centers or other facilities, or that impact the ability of our customers (including our foodservice customers), consumers, employees, bottlers, contract manufacturers, distributors, joint venture partners, suppliers and other third parties to do the same, may impact the availability of our and their employees, many of whom are not able to perform their job functions remotely. If a significant percentage of our or our business partners’ workforce is unable to work, including because of illness, facility closures, quarantine, curfews, shelter in place orders, travel restrictions or other governmental restrictions, our operations will be negatively impacted. Any sustained interruption in our or our business partners’ operations, distribution network or supply chain or any significant continuous shortage of raw materials or other supplies as a result of these measures, restrictions or disruptions can impair our ability to make, manufacture, distribute or sell our products. Compliance with governmental measures imposed in response to COVID-19 has caused and may continue to cause us to incur additional costs, and any inability to comply with such measures can subject us to restrictions on our business activities, fines, and other penalties, any of which can adversely affect our business. In addition, the increase in certain of our employees working remotely has amplified certain risks to our business, including increased demand on our information technology resources and systems, increased phishing and other cybersecurity attacks as cybercriminals try to exploit the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, and an increase in the number of points of potential attack, such as laptops and mobile devices (both of which are now being used in increased numbers), to be secured, and any failure to effectively manage these risks, including to timely identify and appropriately respond to any cyberattacks, may adversely affect our business.
