PART I

Item 1.Business

PepsiCo, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in 1919 and was reincorporated in North Carolina in 1986. When used in this report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” mean PepsiCo and its divisions and subsidiaries.

Our Divisions

We are a leading, global snack and beverage company. We manufacture, market and sell a variety of salty, convenient, sweet and grain-based snacks, carbonated and non-carbonated beverages and foods. We are organized in four divisions:

Frito-Lay North America,

PepsiCo Beverages North America,

PepsiCo International, and

Quaker Foods North America.

Our North American divisions operate in the United States and Canada. Our international divisions operate in nearly 200 countries, with our largest operations in Mexico and the United Kingdom. Financial information concerning our divisions and geographic areas is presented in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements and additional information concerning our division operations, customers and distribution network is presented under the heading “Our Business” contained in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis.”

Frito-Lay North America

Frito-Lay North America (FLNA) manufactures, markets, sells and distributes branded snacks. These snacks include Lay’s potato chips, Doritos flavored tortilla chips, Cheetos cheese flavored snacks, Tostitos tortilla chips, Fritos corn chips, Ruffles potato chips, branded dips, Quaker Chewy granola bars, Rold Gold pretzels, Sunchips multigrain snacks, Munchies snack mix, Grandma’s cookies, Quaker Quakes corn and rice snacks, Quaker Fruit & Oatmeal bars, Cracker Jack candy coated popcorn, Lay’s Stax and Go Snacks. FLNA branded products are sold to independent distributors and retailers. FLNA’s net revenue was $9.1 billion in 2003, $8.6 billion in 2002 and $8.2 billion in 2001 and approximated 34% of our total division net revenue in each of those years.

PepsiCo Beverages North America

PepsiCo Beverages North America (PBNA) manufactures or uses contract manufacturers, markets and sells beverage concentrates, fountain syrups and finished goods, under the brands Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Sierra Mist, Mug, SoBe, Gatorade, Tropicana Pure Premium, Dole, Tropicana Season’s Best, Tropicana Twister and Propel. PBNA also manufactures, markets and sells ready-to-drink tea and coffee products through joint ventures with Lipton and Starbucks. In addition, PBNA licenses the Aquafina water brand to its bottlers and markets this brand. PBNA sells concentrate and finished goods for some of these brands to bottlers licensed by us, and some of these branded products are sold directly by us to independent distributors and retailers. The franchise bottlers sell our brands as finished goods to independent distributors and retailers. PBNA’s net

revenue was $7.7 billion in 2003, $7.2 billion in 2002 and $6.9 billion in 2001 and approximated 29% of our total division net revenue in each of those years.

PepsiCo International

PepsiCo International (PI) manufactures through consolidated businesses as well as through noncontrolled affiliates, a number of leading salty and sweet snack brands including Sabritas, Gamesa and Alegro in Mexico, Walkers in the United Kingdom, and Smith’s in Australia. Further, PI manufactures or uses contract manufacturers, markets and sells many Quaker brand snacks. PI also manufactures, markets and sells beverage concentrates, fountain syrups and finished goods under the brands Pepsi, 7UP, Mirinda, Mountain Dew, Gatorade and Tropicana outside North America. These brands are sold to franchise bottlers, independent distributors and retailers. However, in certain markets, PI operates its own bottling plants and distribution facilities. PI also licenses the Aquafina water brand to certain of its franchise bottlers. PI’s net revenue was $8.7 billion in 2003, $7.7 billion in 2002 and $7.5 billion in 2001 and approximated 32% of our total division net revenue in each of those years.

Quaker Foods North America

Quaker Foods North America (QFNA) manufactures or uses contract manufacturers, markets and sells cereals, rice, pasta and other branded products. QFNA’s products include Quaker oatmeal, Cap’n Crunch and Life ready-to-eat cereals, Rice-A-Roni, Pasta Roni and Near East side dishes, Aunt Jemima mixes and syrups and Quaker grits. These branded products are sold to independent distributors and retailers. QFNA’s net revenue was $1.5 billion in 2003 and 2002 and $1.4 billion in 2001 and approximated 5% of our total division net revenue in each of those years.

Our Distribution Network

Our products are brought to market through direct-store-delivery, broker-warehouse and food service and vending distribution networks. The distribution system used depends on customer needs, product characteristics, and local trade practices. These distribution systems are described under the heading “Our Business” contained in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis.”

Ingredients and Other Supplies

The principal ingredients we use in our food and beverage businesses are almonds, aspartame, cocoa, corn, corn sweeteners, flavorings, flour, juice and juice concentrates, oats, oranges, grapefruits and other fruits, potatoes, rice, seasonings, sugar, vegetable and essential oils and wheat. Our key packaging materials include P.E.T. resin used for plastic bottles, film packaging used for snack foods and cardboard. Fuel and natural gas are also important commodities due to their use in our plants and in the trucks delivering our products. These products are purchased mainly in the open market. We employ specialists to secure adequate supplies of many of these items and have not experienced any significant continuous shortages. The prices we pay for such items are subject to fluctuation. When prices increase, we may or may not pass on such increases to our customers. When we have decided to pass along price increases in the past, we have done so successfully. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to do so in the future.

Our Brands

We own numerous valuable trademarks which are essential to our worldwide businesses, including Alegro, AMP, Aquafina, Aunt Jemima, Cap’n Crunch, Cheetos, Cracker Jack, Diet Pepsi, Doritos, Frito-Lay, Fritos, Fruitworks, Gamesa, Gatorade, Golden Grain, Grandma’s, Lay’s, Life, Mirinda, Mountain Dew, Mountain Dew Code Red, Mr. Green, Mug, Near East, Pasta Roni, Pepsi, Pepsi Blue, Pepsi Max, Pepsi One, Pepsi Twist, Pepsi-Cola, Propel, Quaker, Quaker Chewy, Quaker Quakes, Rice-A-Roni, Rold Gold, Ruffles, Sabritas, 7UP and Diet 7UP (outside the United States), Sierra Mist, Slice, Smith’s, SoBe, Sunchips, Tostitos, Tropicana, Tropicana Pure Premium, Tropicana Season’s Best, Tropicana Twister, Walkers, Wild Cherry Pepsi and Wotsits. Trademarks remain valid so long as they are used properly for identification purposes, and we emphasize correct use of our trademarks. We have authorized, through licensing arrangements, the use of many of our trademarks in such contexts as snack food joint ventures and beverage bottling appointments. In addition, we license the use of our trademarks on promotional items for the primary purpose of enhancing brand awareness.

We either own or have licenses to use a number of patents which relate to some of our products, their packaging, the processes for their production and the design and operation of various equipment used in our businesses. Some of these patents are licensed to others.

Seasonality

Our beverage and food divisions are subject to seasonal variations. Our beverage sales are higher during the warmer months and certain food sales are higher in the cooler months. However, taken as a whole, seasonality does not have a material impact on our business.

Our Customers

Our customers include franchise bottlers and independent distributors and retailers. We grant our bottlers exclusive contracts to sell and manufacture certain beverage products bearing our trademarks within a specific geographic area. These arrangements specify the amount to be paid by our bottlers for concentrate and full goods and for Aquafina royalties, as well as the manufacturing process required for product quality.

Sales to Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. represent approximately 10% of our global net revenue. Retail consolidation has increased the importance of major customers and further consolidation is expected. Our top five retail customers currently represent approximately 26% of our 2003 North American gross revenue, with Wal-Mart representing approximately 12%. In addition, sales to The Pepsi Bottling Group (PBG) represent approximately 10% of our net revenue. SeeNote 8 to our consolidated financial statements for more information on our anchor bottlers.

Our Competition

Our businesses operate in highly competitive markets. We compete against global, regional and private label manufacturers on the basis of price, quality, product variety and effective distribution. Success in this competitive environment is primarily achieved through effective promotion of existing products and the introduction of new products. We believe that the strength of our brands, innovation and marketing, coupled with the quality of our products and flexibility of our distribution network, allow us to compete effectively.

Despite holding a significant leadership market position in the snack industry worldwide, Frito-Lay faces local and regional competitors as well as national and global snack competitors on issues related to price, quality, variety and distribution. In the beverage industry, we are focused against The Coca-Cola Company, our primary competitor. In the United States, The Coca-Cola Company has a slightly larger share of carbonated soft drink consumption, while we have a larger share for chilled juices and isotonics. We also face many local value brand competitors in the United States. Internationally, The Coca-Cola Company has a significant market share advantage for carbonated beverages. In addition, internationally we compete with strong local carbonated beverage brands in many countries.

The information in the charts above is based on Information Resources, Inc. and ACNeilson Corporation reports that exclude Wal-Mart volume as Wal-Mart does not report volume data to these services.

Regulatory Environment

The conduct of our businesses, and the production, distribution and use of many of our products, are subject to various federal laws, such as the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and the Occupational Safety and Health Act. Our businesses in the United States are also subject to state and local laws.

We are also subject to the laws of the countries in which we conduct our businesses. In many jurisdictions, compliance with competition laws is of special importance to us due to our competitive position in those jurisdictions. We rely on local in-house and outside counsel to ensure compliance with foreign laws and regulations. The cost of compliance with foreign laws does not have a material financial impact on our international operations.

Employees

As of December 27, 2003, we employed, subject to seasonal variations, approximately 143,000 people worldwide, including approximately 60,000 people employed within the United States. We believe that relations with our employees are generally good.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

We are subject to various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, taxes, environmental and other matters arising out of the normal course of business.

OUR BUSINESS

Our Operations

We are a leading, global snack and beverage company. We manufacture, market and sell a variety of salty, convenient, sweet and grain-based snacks, carbonated and noncarbonated beverages and foods. We are organized in six divisions:

Frito-Lay North America,
Frito-Lay International,
Pepsi-Cola North America,
Gatorade/Tropicana North America,
PepsiCo Beverages International, and
Quaker Foods North America.

Net sales and operating profit contributions from each of our six divisions are as follows:

Our North American divisions operate in the United States and Canada. Our international divisions operate in over 175 countries, with our largest operations in Mexico and the United Kingdom. Additional information concerning our divisions and geographic areas is presented inNote 1 to our consolidated financial statements.

Beginning in 2003, we will combine the results of PCNA and GTNA as PepsiCo Beverages North America and of our international food and beverage businesses as PepsiCo International to reflect operating and management changes.

Snacks

Frito-Lay North America (FLNA) manufactures, markets, sells and distributes branded snacks. These snacks include Lay’s potato chips, Doritos flavored tortilla chips, Cheetos cheese flavored snacks, Fritos corn chips, Tostitos tortilla chips, Ruffles potato chips, Rold Gold pretzels, branded dips, Quaker Chewy granola bars, Sunchips multigrain snacks, Grandma’s cookies, Quaker Fruit & Oatmeal bars, Quaker Quakes corn and rice snacks, Quaker rice cakes, Cracker Jack treats and Go Snacks.

In addition to many of the FLNA and Quaker branded snacks sold in North America, Frito-Lay International (FLI) also manufactures and sells a number of leading snack brands including Sabritas, Gamesa and Alegro brands in Mexico, Walkers and Wotsits brands in the United Kingdom, and Smith’s brand in Australia. These products are manufactured by consolidated businesses, as well as by noncontrolled affiliates.

FLNA and FLI branded products are sold to independent distributors and retailers. Our snacks businesses measure physical volume growth on a system-wide basis, which includes the volume sold by our noncontrolled affiliates.

Beverages

Pepsi-Cola North America (PCNA) manufactures, markets and sells beverage concentrates, and sells fountain syrups and finished goods, under the brands Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Sierra Mist, Mug, Slice, FruitWorks, SoBe and Dole. PCNA manufactures, markets and sells ready-to-drink tea and coffee products through joint ventures with Lipton and Starbucks. PCNA sells concentrate and finished goods for these brands to bottlers licensed by us. PCNA also licenses the Aquafina water brand to its bottlers. The franchise bottlers sell our brands as finished goods to independent distributors and retailers. PCNA reports two measures of volume performance. Concentrate shipments and equivalents (CSE) reflects PCNA’s sales to its bottlers, as well as bottler Aquafina volume, and is reported on a fiscal year basis consistent with net sales. Bottler case sales (BCS) reflects the sales of beverages bearing our trademarks that franchise bottlers have sold to independent distributors and retailers and is reported on a monthly basis. CSE and BCS growth may vary due to differences in the reporting calendar and short-term changes in bottler inventory.

Gatorade/Tropicana North America (GTNA) manufactures, markets and sells Gatorade sports drinks, Tropicana Pure Premium, Dole, Tropicana Season’s Best and Tropicana Twister juices and juice drinks and Propel fitness water. These branded products are sold to independent distributors and retailers.

PepsiCo Beverages International (PBI) manufactures, markets and sells beverage concentrates, fountain syrups and finished goods under the brands Pepsi, 7UP, Mirinda, Mountain Dew, Gatorade and Tropicana outside North America. Generally, PBI’s brands are sold to franchise bottlers. However, in certain markets, PBI operates bottling plants and distribution facilities. PBI also licenses the Aquafina water brand to certain of its franchise bottlers. PBI reports two measures of volume. Concentrate shipments reflects PBI’s sale of concentrate to franchise bottlers only and is reported on a monthly basis consistent with net sales. BCS reflects company-owned and franchise bottler sales of beverages bearing our trademarks and is also reported on a monthly basis. Concentrate shipments and the related BCS may differ due to short-term changes in bottler inventory.

Foods

Quaker Foods North America (QFNA) manufactures, markets and sells cereals, rice, pasta and other branded products. QFNA’s products include Quaker oatmeal, Cap’n Crunch and Life ready-to-eat cereals, Rice-A-Roni, Pasta Roni and Near East side dishes, Aunt Jemima mixes and syrups and Quaker grits. These branded products are sold to independent distributors and retailers.

Our Customers

Our customers include franchise bottlers and independent distributors and retailers. We grant our bottlers exclusive contracts to manufacture and/or sell specified beverage products bearing our trademarks within a specific geographic area. These arrangements specify the amount to be paid by our bottlers for concentrate and full goods and for Aquafina royalties, as well as the manufacturing process required for product quality.

Since we do not sell directly to the consumer, we rely on, and provide financial incentives to our customers to assist in the distribution and promotion of our products. For our independent distributors and retailers, these incentives include volume-based rebates, promotions and displays. For our bottlers, these incentives are referred to as bottler funding and are negotiated annually with each bottler to support a variety of trade and consumer programs, such as consumer incentives, advertising support, new product support and vending and cooler equipment placement. Consumer incentives include consumer coupons, pricing discounts and consumer promotions, such as sweepstakes and other promotional offers. Advertising support is directed at advertising programs and supporting bottler media. New product funding includes targeted consumer and retailer incentives for these products and direct marketplace support, such as point-of-purchase materials, media and advertising. Vending and cooler equipment placement programs support the acquisition and placement of vending machines and cooler equipment. The nature and type of programs vary annually. The level of bottler funding is at our discretion because these incentives are not required by the terms of our bottling contracts.

No single customer represents more than 10% of our net sales. However, when considering both our volume and that of our bottlers, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. is a significant customer. Retail consolidation has increased the importance of major customers and further consolidation is expected. Also see “Cautionary Statements.”

Our Related Party Bottlers

We have ownership interests in certain of our bottlers. Our ownership is generally less than fifty percent and since we do not control these bottlers, we do not consolidate their results. We include our share of their net income based on our percentage of ownership in our income statement as bottling equity income. We have designated three related party bottlers, The Pepsi Bottling Group (PBG), PepsiAmericas (PAS) and Pepsi Bottling Ventures (PBV), as our anchor bottlers. Our anchor bottlers distribute over 70% of our Pepsi-Cola North America case sales volume and approximately 14% of our PepsiCo Beverages International case sales volume. These bottlers participate in the bottler funding programs described above. Approximately 12% of our total sales incentives are paid to these bottlers. SeeNote 8 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information on these related parties and related party commitments and guarantees.

Our Distribution Network

Our products are brought to market through direct-store-delivery, broker-warehouse and food service and vending distribution networks. The distribution system used depends on customer needs, product characteristics, and local trade practices.

Direct-Store-Delivery

We and our bottlers operate direct-store-delivery systems that deliver snacks and beverages directly to retail stores where the products are merchandised by our employees or our bottlers.Direct-store-delivery enables us to merchandise with maximum visibility and appeal. Direct-store-delivery is especially well-suited to products that have high retail turnover and respond to in-store promotion and merchandising.

Broker-Warehouse Systems

Some of our products are delivered from our warehouses to customer warehouses and retail stores. These less costly systems generally work best for products that are less fragile and perishable, have lower turnover, and are less likely to be impulse purchases.

Foodservice and Vending

Our foodservice and vending sales force distributes snacks, foods and beverages to third-party foodservice and vending distributors and operators, and through our bottlers. This distribution system supplies our products to schools, businesses, stadiums, restaurants and similar locations.

Our Competition

Our businesses operate in highly competitive markets. We compete against global companies and regional and private label manufacturers on the basis of price, quality, product variety and effective distribution. Success in this competitive environment is primarily achieved through effective promotion of existing products and the introduction of new products. We believe that the strength of our brands, innovation and marketing, coupled with our quality products and flexible distribution network, allow us to effectively compete.

Other Relationships

Certain members of our Board of Directors also serve on the boards of certain vendors and customers. Those Board members do not participate in our vendor selection and negotiations nor in our customer negotiations. Our transactions with these vendors and customers are in the normal course of business and are consistent with terms negotiated with other vendors and customers. In addition, certain of our employees serve on the boards of our anchor bottlers and other affiliated companies and do not receive incremental compensation for their board services.

Our Market Risks

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

commodity prices, affecting the cost of our raw materials and fuel;
foreign exchange rates;
interest rates on our short-term investment and debt portfolios; and
stock prices.

In the normal course of business, we manage these risks through a variety of strategies, including the use of derivatives designated as cash flow and fair value hedges. SeeNote 10 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of these hedges and our hedging policies. The fair value of our hedges fluctuates based on market rates and prices. The sensitivity of our hedges to these market fluctuations is discussed below. See “Our Critical Accounting Policies” for a discussion of the exposure of our pension plan assets and liabilities to risks related to interest rates and stock prices.

Inflationary, deflationary and recessionary conditions impacting these market risks also impact the demand for and pricing of our products. See “Cautionary Statements” for further discussion.

Commodity Prices

Our commodity derivatives totaled $70 million at December 28, 2002 and $252 million at December 29, 2001. These derivatives resulted in a net unrealized gain of $6 million at December 28, 2002 and a net unrealized loss of $16 million at December 29, 2001. We estimate that a 10% decline in commodity prices would have resulted in an unrealized loss of $2 million in 2002 and increased the unrealized loss by $18 million in 2001.

Foreign Exchange

Our operations outside of the United States generate 34% of our net sales of which Mexico, the United Kingdom and Canada contribute 19%. As a result, we are exposed to foreign currency risks from unforeseen economic changes and political unrest. During 2002, the impact of declines in the Mexican peso were substantially offset by increases in the British pound and the euro. However, if future declines in the Mexican peso are not offset by increases in the British pound and the euro, our future results would be adversely impacted.

We may enter into derivatives to manage our exposure to foreign currency transaction risk. Our foreign currency derivatives had a total face value of $329 million at December 28, 2002 and $355 million at December 29, 2001. These contracts had a net unrealized loss of less than $1 million at December 28, 2002 and a net unrealized gain of $4 million at December 29, 2001. We estimate that an unfavorable 10% change in the exchange rates would have increased the unrealized loss by $34 million in 2002 and would have resulted in an unrealized loss of $31 million in 2001.

Interest Rates

Late in 2002, we terminated the majority of our interest rate swaps used to manage our interest rate risk. As a result, 12% of our debt is exposed to variable interest rates compared to approximately 45% in 2001. Assuming year-end variable rate debt and investment levels, a 1 percentage point increase in interest rates would have reduced net interest expense by $11 million in 2002 and increased net interest expense by $3 million in 2001. The impact of the 1 percentage point increase in rates at year-end 2002 reflects higher investment balances and lower variable debt balances. This sensitivity analysis includes the impact of existing interest rate swaps during these years.

Stock Prices

We manage the market risk related to our deferred compensation liability, which is indexed to certain market indices and our stock price, with mutual fund investments and prepaid forward contracts for the purchase of our stock. The combined losses on these investments are offset by changes in our deferred compensation liability which is included in Corporate selling, general and administrative expenses.

Cautionary Statements

We discuss expectations regarding our future performance, such as our business outlook, in our annual and quarterly reports, press releases, and other written and oral statements. These “forward-looking statements” are based on currently available competitive, financial and economic data and our operating plans. They are inherently uncertain, and investors must recognize that events could turn out to be significantly different from our expectations.

You should consider the following key factors when evaluating our trends and future results:

continued demand for our products, which is dependent on successful product introductions and other innovations, effectiveness of our sales incentives, advertising campaigns and marketing programs, seasonal weather conditions, relationships with key customers (including our bottlers), and our response to consumer health concerns and changes in product category consumption;
competitive product and pricing pressures;
continued success from our productivity initiatives, which is dependent upon our ability to implement and leverage these programs;
continued success of acquisition integrations, including our ability to achieve cost savings and revenue enhancement opportunities from the Quaker merger;
unforeseen economic changes and political unrest, which may result in business interruption, foreign currency devaluation, inflation, deflation and decreased demand, particularly in areas outside North America, such as in Latin America and the Middle East;
maintenance of our profit margin in the face of a consolidating retail environment;
changes in laws and regulations, including changes in food and drug laws, accounting standards, taxation requirements (including tax rate changes, new tax laws and revised tax law interpretations) and environmental laws; and
fluctuations in manufacturing costs and the availability of raw materials.

The discussion of these risks and uncertainties is by no means all inclusive but is designed to highlight what we believe are important factors to consider.

OUR CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

An understanding of our accounting policies is necessary to completely analyze our financial results. Our critical accounting policies require management to make difficult and subjective judgments regarding uncertainties. As a result, estimates are included in and may significantly impact our financial results. The precision of these estimates and the likelihood of future changes depend on a number of underlying variables and a range of possible outcomes. We applied our estimation methods consistently in all periods presented.

Our critical accounting policies arise in conjunction with the following:

revenue recognition,
brands and goodwill,
income taxes, and
pension and retiree medical plans.

Revenue Recognition

Our products are sold for cash or on credit terms. Our credit terms, which are established in accordance with local and industry practices, typically require payment within 30 days of delivery and may allow discounts for early payment. We recognize revenue upon delivery to our customers in accordance with written sales terms that do not allow for a right of return. However, our policy for direct-store-delivery and chilled products is to remove and replace out-of-date products from store shelves to ensure that consumers receive the product quality and freshness that they expect. Based on our historical experience with this practice, we have reserved for anticipated out-of-date product. Our bottlers have a similar replacement policy and are responsible for our products that they distribute.

We offer sales incentives through various programs to customers, consumers and, for PCNA, directly to certain retailers. Sales incentives are accounted for as a reduction of sales and totaled $5.5 billion in 2002, $4.7 billion in 2001 and $4.3 billion in 2000. A number of these programs, such as bottler funding and customer volume rebates, are based on annual targets, and accruals are established during the year for the expected payout. The accruals are based on our previous experience with similar programs. The terms of most of our incentive arrangements do not exceed a year. However, we have arrangements, such as fountain pouring rights, which extend up to 12 years. Costs incurred to obtain these rights are recognized over the life of the contract as a reduction of sales, and the outstanding balance is included in other assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

We estimate and reserve for our bad debt exposure from credit sales based on our experience. Our method of determining the reserves has not changed during the years presented in the consolidated financial statements. Bad debt expense is classified within selling, general and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Income Statement.

Brands and Goodwill

We sell products under a number of brand names around the world, many of which were developed by us. The brand development costs are expensed as incurred. We also purchase brands and goodwill in acquisitions. Upon acquisition, the purchase price is first allocated to identifiable assets and liabilities, including brands, based on estimated fair value, with any remaining purchase price recorded as goodwill. Goodwill and perpetual brands are not amortized.

We believe that a brand has an indefinite life if it has significant market share in a stable macroeconomic environment, and a history of strong revenue and cash flow performance that we expect to continue for the foreseeable future. If these perpetual brand criteria are not met, brands are amortized over their expected useful lives, which generally range from five to twenty years. Determining the expected life of a brand requires considerable management judgment and is based on an evaluation of a number of factors, including the competitive environment, market share, brand history and the macroeconomic environment of the country in which the brand is sold.

Perpetual brands and goodwill are assessed for impairment at least annually to ensure that future cash flows continue to exceed the related book value. A perpetual brand is impaired if its book value exceeds its fair value. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment if the book value of its reporting unit exceeds its fair value. A reporting unit can be a division or business. If the fair value of an evaluated asset is less than its book value, the asset is written down based on its discounted future cash flows to fair value.

Amortizable brands are only evaluated for impairment upon a significant change in the operating or macroeconomic environment. If an evaluation of the undiscounted cash flows indicates impairment, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value, which is generally based on discounted future cash flows.

Considerable management judgment is necessary to evaluate the impact of operating and macroeconomic changes and to estimate future cash flows. Assumptions used in our impairment evaluations, such as forecasted growth rates and our cost of capital, are consistent with our internal projections and operating plans.

We did not recognize any impairment charges for perpetual brands or goodwill during 2002. As of December 28, 2002, we had over $4 billion of perpetual brands and goodwill, of which 75% related to Tropicana and Walkers. In our most recent impairment evaluations for Tropicana and Walkers, no impairment charges would have resulted even if operating profit growth were assumed to be 5% lower.

Income Taxes

Our reported effective tax rate was 31.9% for 2002. Excluding the impact of nondeductible merger-related costs, our effective tax rate was 31.2%. For 2003, our effective tax rate, excluding the impact of nondeductible merger-related costs, is expected to be 30.5%. The decrease from 2002 primarily reflects the impact of our new concentrate plant.

Our effective tax rate is based on expected income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available to us in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Significant judgment is required in determining our effective tax rate and in evaluating our tax positions. We establish reserves when, despite our belief that our tax return positions are fully supportable, we believe that certain positions are likely to be challenged and that we may not succeed. We adjust these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the progress of a tax audit. Our effective tax rate includes the impact of reserve provisions and changes to reserves that we consider appropriate, as well as related interest. This rate is then applied to our quarterly operating results. In the event that there is a significant unusual or one-time item recognized in our operating results, the tax attributable to that item would be separately calculated and recorded at the same time as the unusual or one-time item. We consider the Quaker merger-related costs to be a significant one-time item.

Tax regulations require items to be included in the tax return at different times than the items are reflected in the financial statements. As a result, our effective tax rate reflected in our financial statements is different than that reported in our tax return. Some of these differences are permanent, such as expenses which are not deductible on our tax return, and some are timing differences, such as depreciation expense. Timing differences create deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets generally represent items that can be used as a tax deduction or credit in our tax return in future years for which we have already recorded the tax benefit in our income statement. We establish valuation allowances for our deferred tax assets when the amount of expected future taxable income is not likely to support the use of the deduction or credit. Deferred tax liabilities generally represent tax expense recognized in our financial statements for which payment has been deferred or expense for which we have already taken a deduction on our tax return, but have not yet recognized as expense in our financial statements. We have not recognized any United States tax expense on undistributed international earnings since we intend to reinvest the earnings outside the United States for the foreseeable future. These undistributed earnings are approximately $7.5 billion at December 28, 2002.

A number of years may elapse before a particular matter, for which we have established a reserve, is audited and finally resolved. The number of years with open tax audits varies depending on the tax jurisdiction. In the United States, the audits for 1991 through 1993 remain open for certain items and the Internal Revenue Service is currently examining our tax returns for 1994 through 1997. While it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of resolution of any particular tax matter, we believe that our reserves reflect the probable outcome of known tax contingencies. Unfavorable settlement of any particular issue would require use of our cash. Favorable resolution would be recognized as a reduction to our effective tax rate in the year of resolution. Our tax reserves are presented in the balance sheet within other liabilities, except for amounts relating to items we expect to settle in the coming year which are classified as current.

Pension and Retiree Medical Plans

Our pension plans cover full-time U.S. employees and certain international employees. Benefits are determined based on either years of service or a combination of years of service and earnings. U.S. employees are also eligible for medical and life insurance benefits (retiree medical) if they meet age and service requirements and qualify for retirement benefits. Generally, our retiree medical costs are capped at a specified dollar amount, with retirees contributing the remainder.

The expected benefit to be paid is expensed over the employees’ expected service. Management must make many assumptions to determine the expected benefit and expected service, including:

the interest rate used to determine the present value of liabilities (discount rate),
the expected return on plan assets for plans funded by us,
the rate of salary increases for plans where benefits are based on earnings,
health care cost trend rates for retiree medical plans, and
certain employee-related factors, such as turnover, retirement age and mortality.

We make contributions to trusts maintained to provide plan benefits for certain pension plans. These contributions are made in accordance with applicable tax regulations that provide for current tax deductions for our contributions and taxation to the employee only upon receipt of plan benefits. We do not generally fund pension plans and retiree medical plans when our contributions would not be tax deductible or when the employee would be taxed prior to receipt of benefit. Pension plan investment guidelines are established based upon an evaluation of market conditions, risk tolerance and plan investment horizon.

The assets, liabilities and assumptions used to measure pension and retiree medical expense are determined as of September 30 of the preceding year (measurement date). Since the liabilities are measured on a discounted basis, the discount rate is a significant assumption. It is based on interest rates for high-quality, long-term corporate debt at each measurement date. The expected return on pension plan assets is based on our historical experience and our expectations for long-term rates of return. To measure pension expense, we use a calculated value for plan assets which recognizes changes in fair value over five years rather than the current fair value at each measurement date. The other assumptions also reflect our historical experience and management’s best judgment regarding future expectations.

Gains and losses resulting from actual experience differing from our assumptions are determined at each measurement date. If the net total gain or loss exceeds 10% of the greater of plan assets or liabilities, a portion of the net gain or loss is included in expense for the next year. The cost or benefit of plan changes, such as increasing or decreasing benefits for prior employee service, is included in expense over the expected service of the employees.

We review our assumptions at least at the annual measurement date. During 2002, we completed a review of our pension investment and funding strategy for our U.S. pension plans. As a result, we revised our U.S. investment allocation to a maximum of 65% equities with the balance in fixed income securities. As a result of the mid-year 2002 investment funding and strategy changes, we remeasured pension expense for our U.S. plans to incorporate a reduction in the rate of return on plan assets to 8.2%, as well as changes to employee-related assumptions based on current data. This mid-year valuation resulted in a weighted average expected return on plan assets for 2002 of 9.1% and increased the balance of year pension expense by $29 million. This increase is reported in Corporate selling, general and administrative expenses.

Health care cost trend rates have an impact on the retiree medical plan expense. A 1 percentage point increase in the assumed health care trend rate would increase the service and interest costs by $4 million for 2003 and a 1 percentage point decrease would reduce these costs by $4 million.

Pension expense for 2003 is estimated to be approximately $160 million and retiree medical expense is estimated to be approximately $120 million compared to 2002 pension expense of $111 million and retiree medical expense of $88 million. These estimates incorporate the 2003 assumptions, as well as the impact of the increased pension plan assets resulting from our contributions to funded plans.

Merger-Related Costs

We incurred costs associated with our merger with Quaker. We expect to incur additional costs of approximately $50 million in 2003 to complete the integration of the two companies. For additional information, seeNote 3 to our consolidated financial statements.

SFAS 142 Adoption

In 2002, we adopted SFAS 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which eliminated amortization of goodwill and perpetual brands (our nonamortizable intangibles), and resulted in the acceleration of the amortization of certain of our other intangibles. The prior year adjustments in the above table reflect the impact that would have resulted if adoption had occurred at the beginning of 2000. For additional information, see “Our Critical Accounting Policies” andNote 4 to our consolidated financial statements.

SVE Consolidation

As a result of changes in the operations of Snack Ventures Europe (SVE), we determined that consolidation was required, and we consolidated SVE in 2002. The prior year adjustments in the above table reflect the impact that would have resulted if consolidation had occurred at the beginning of 2000. For further information on our consolidation of SVE, seeNote 1 to our consolidated financial statements.

Other Impairment and Restructuring Charges

We incurred costs for Quaker’s supply chain reconfiguration and manufacturing and distribution optimization project.

53rd Week in 2000

Our fiscal year ends on the last Saturday in December, and as a result, a 53rd week is added every five or six years. Comparisons of 2002 and 2001 to 2000 are affected by an additional week of results in 2000.

Other

This adjustment primarily reflects the reclassification of our prepaid forward contracts. Beginning in 2001, in connection with the adoption of the accounting standard on derivative instruments, gains or losses on prepaid forward contracts, which are used to hedge a portion of our deferred compensation liability, were reclassified to Corporate selling, general and administrative expenses. These amounts were previously reported in interest income. For more information on these prepaid forward contracts, see “Our Market Risks.”

Pending Accounting Changes

Current pending accounting standards are not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements. For a description of these new accounting standards seeNote 2 to our consolidated financial statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Consolidated Review

In the discussions of net sales 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.

Servings

Since our divisions each use different measures of physical unit volume (e.g., kilos, pounds, case sales, gallons, etc.), 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.

Total servings increased 4% in 2002 compared to 2001 due to volume gains across all divisions led by beverages. Total servings increased 4% in 2001 compared to 2000 primarily due to contributions from our international divisions and Pepsi-Cola North America.

2002

Net sales increased 7% and operating profit increased 18% driven by volume gains across all divisions, the consolidation of SVE, higher concentrate pricing and favorable mix. These gains were partially offset by increased promotional spending at Gatorade/Tropicana North America and Frito-Lay North America and net unfavorable foreign currency movement. The consolidation of SVE increased net sales growth by 3 percentage points and operating profit by 1 percentage point. In addition, operating profit growth improved 5 percentage points from the impact of lower merger-related costs, the absence of other impairment and restructuring costs and the adoption of SFAS 142.

The impact of net unfavorable foreign currency movements reduced net sales growth by 1 percentage point. Operating profit growth was not materially affected by foreign currency movements.

Our operating profit margin increased 1.7 percentage points primarily due to lower costs reflecting merger synergies of approximately $250 million, lower merger costs and productivity. We expect our operating margins to continue to improve as a result of Quaker merger-related synergies that are expected to reach $400 million a year by 2004 and by our ongoing productivity initiatives.

2001

Net sales and operating profit increased 5% primarily reflecting increased volume and higher effective net pricing of snacks and beverages, as well as the acquisition of South Beach Beverage Company, LLC (SoBe), which contributed nearly 1 percentage point to net sales growth. These gains were partially offset by the inclusion of the 53rd week in 2000, which reduced net sales growth by more than 1 percentage point and operating profit growth by 1.5 percentage points, and a net unfavorable foreign currency impact. In addition, operating profit was reduced by merger-related costs and higher general and administrative expenses, partially offset by lower costs for the Quaker supply chain project. Merger-related costs and lower supply chain costs reduced operating profit growth by approximately 5 percentage points.

The unfavorable foreign currency impact, primarily in Brazil and Europe, reduced net sales growth by more than 1 percentage point. Operating profit growth was reduced nearly 1 percentage point as a result of unfavorable foreign currency.

Bottling equity income includes our share of the net income or loss of our noncontrolled bottling affiliates as described in “Our Customers.” Our interest in these bottling investments may change from time to time. Any gains or losses from these changes, as well as other transactions related to our bottling investments, are also included on a pre-tax basis.

2002

Bottling equity income increased 75%. This increase primarily reflects the adoption of SFAS 142. The impact of impairment charges of $35 million related to a Latin American bottling investment was more than offset by the settlement of issues upon the sale of our investment in Pepsi-Gemex, our Mexican bottling affiliate, and the absence of one-time items discussed in 2001 below. Excluding these items, bottling equity income increased approximately 13% reflecting improved performance of our international bottling investments, and the contribution of our North American anchor bottlers.

2001

Bottling equity income increased 23%, primarily reflecting the strong performance of PBG. Results for 2001 also include a gain of $59 million from the sale of approximately 2 million shares of PBG stock, and a net credit of $23 million related to the resolution of issues for which a prior year accrual was established in connection with the creation of our anchor bottler system. Bottling equity income in 2001 also benefited from $5 million of losses from the 53rd week in 2000. These increases were offset by impairment charges of $62 million related to certain international bottling investments, primarily our equity investment in Turkey and a charge of $27 million for our share of a charge recorded by PepsiAmericas for environmental liabilities related to discontinued operations.

2002

Net interest expense declined 6% primarily due to lower average debt levels, partially offset by increased losses of $10 million on investments used to hedge a portion of our deferred compensation liability. Decreases in borrowing rates were offset by decreases in investment rates.

2001

Net interest expense declined 19%. Interest expense declined primarily as a result of significantly lower average debt levels. Interest income declined as 2000 includes $19 million in gains from prepaid forward contracts. Excluding the prepaid forward contracts, interest income increased slightly as the impact of higher average investment balances was largely offset by lower average interest rates and losses on the investments hedging a portion of our deferred compensation liability.

Excluding the impact of nondeductible merger-related costs in 2002, our effective tax rate would have been 31.2%.

2001

The effective tax rate increased 1.5 percentage points primarily due to limited tax benefits associated with merger-related costs, partially offset by lower taxes on foreign results.

2002

Net income increased 24% and the related net income per common share increased 26%. These increases primarily reflect the solid operating profit growth, lower merger-related costs and the adoption of SFAS 142. Net income per common share also reflects the benefit of a reduction in average shares outstanding primarily as a result of increased share buyback activity. Merger-related costs reduced net income per common share by $0.11 in 2002.

2001

Net income increased 5% and the related net income per common share increased 4%. These increases primarily reflect increased operating profit, reduced other impairment and restructuring costs, lower net interest expense, and a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by merger-related costs.

Division Review

The results and discussions below are based on how our Chief Executive Officer monitors the performance of our divisions. Prior year amounts reflect the adoption of SFAS 142 and consolidation of SVE and exclude the results of divested businesses. In addition, when our fiscal year contains a 53rd week, as occurred in 2000, our divisions are managed on a fifty-two week basis and, accordingly, the 53rd week is excluded from the results below. For additional information on these items and our divisions, seeNote 1 to our consolidated financial statements.

2002

Pound volume grew 4% primarily due to new products, strong growth in branded snack mix, single-digit growth in Cheetos cheese flavored snacks, Doritos tortilla chips, branded dips and Quaker Chewy Granola bars, and double-digit growth in Rold Gold pretzels. Go Snacks significantly contributed to the new product growth and Munchies drove the branded snack mix growth. These gains were partially offset by a single-digit decline in Ruffles potato chips.

Growth in net sales of 4% and operating profit of 8% reflects the increased volume. Approximately half of the net sales growth came from new products. Increased promotional spending more than offset favorable mix and other pricing. Lower costs, particularly performance-based compensation and commodity prices for vegetable oils and natural gas, contributed 4 percentage points of the operating profit growth.

2001

Pound volume advanced 3%. This growth was led by single-digit growth in Lay’s potato chips, Cheetos cheese flavored snacks, Doritos tortilla chips, Fritos corn chips and the introduction of our new Lay’s Bistro Gourmet potato chips. These gains were partially offset by a double-digit decline in Ruffles potato chips.

Growth in net sales of 6% and operating profit of 10% primarily reflects higher effective net pricing and the increased volume. Lay’s Bistro Gourmet potato chips contributed nearly 1 percentage point to the sales growth. Advertising and marketing expenses grew at a faster rate than sales, also negatively impacting operating profit growth.

Volume grew 6% primarily reflecting 3% growth in salty snacks, 8% growth in sweet snacks and 6% growth in foods. Single-digit growth at Walkers and Sabritas contributed over 70% of the salty volume growth. Strong single-digit growth at Gamesa contributed nearly 80% of the sweet growth and the introduction of Chipita croissants in Russia contributed the remainder. Brazil drove the foods volume.

Unfavorable foreign currencies in Mexico, Argentina and Brazil reduced net sales growth by 4 percentage points. This impact was partially offset by the favorable 1 percentage point impact of the British pound and the euro. Foreign currency was not a factor in operating profit growth as the unfavorable Mexican peso offset the favorable impact of the British pound and, as a result of operating losses, the Argentinean peso.

Growth in net sales of 4% and operating profit of 20% primarily reflects solid results at Walkers, Gamesa and Sabritas. The impact of higher net effective pricing in Brazil and Argentina contributed 1 percentage point to net sales growth. These gains were partially offset by the impact of unfavorable foreign currencies. Walkers and Gamesa together contributed over 60% of the net sales growth and nearly half of the operating profit growth. Favorable advertising and marketing costs at Sabritas also contributed to operating profit growth.

2001

Volume increased 6%, reflecting growth in the salty and sweet categories. The salty volume grew 9% led by double-digit growth at SVE, in Brazil and in Poland, single-digit growth at Walkers and 2 percentage points of growth from acquisitions. Sweet volume grew 5% driven by growth at Gamesa.

Growth in net sales of 6% and operating profit of 13% primarily reflects solid results from Walkers, Gamesa and Poland, effective net pricing at Sabritas and Gamesa, and the impact of acquisitions. Macroeconomic conditions in Argentina negatively impacted operating profit growth. Unfavorable foreign currency movements in Brazil and the United Kingdom decreased net sales by 4 percentage points and operating profit growth by 2 percentage points.

Concentrate shipments and equivalents increased 2% driven by strong double-digit growth in Aquafina, the introductions of Lipton Brisk Lemonade and Pepsi Blue, and continued growth of Pepsi Twist, Code Red and Sierra Mist. Trademark Mountain Dew was flat compared to prior year reflecting the double-digit growth of Code Red offset by declines in base Mountain Dew. Trademark Pepsi was down slightly compared to prior year as gains from Pepsi Twist and Pepsi Blue were more than offset by declines in base Pepsi. BCS increased 2% over the prior year.

Net sales increased 6% and operating profit increased 12%. These increases reflect higher concentrate pricing contributing 3 percentage points to net sales growth and substantially all of the operating profit growth. These increases also reflect volume from the new product introductions, increased Aquafina royalties and higher national fountain pricing, partially offset by lower concentrate volume, costs associated with litigation, increased inventory costs and increased advertising and marketing expenses related to our new products. New products contributed approximately 2 percentage points to the net sales growth. Advertising and marketing costs, costs of sales and general and administrative expenses grew at a slower rate than sales.

As in 2002, we expect concentrate pricing to favorably impact our results due to the 2% price increase effective in the first quarter of 2003. In addition, our carbonated soft drink volume will be favorably impacted by the expanded distribution of Sierra Mist by many of our U.S. bottlers as these bottlers distribute Sierra Mist as their exclusive lemon-lime brand.

2001

Concentrate shipments and equivalents increased 4%. This increase was primarily driven by high single-digit growth in Mountain Dew reflecting the introduction of Code Red, strong growth in Sierra Mist and Aquafina, the acquisition of SoBe and the launch of Dole. These gains were partially offset by a low single-digit decline in trademark Pepsi, which was mitigated by the successful launch of Pepsi Twist, and a double-digit decline in Slice as a result of the introduction of Sierra Mist. Bottler case sales volume increased 4%. The carbonated soft drink portfolio and the acquisition of SoBe each contributed 1 percentage point to both concentrate shipments and equivalents and bottler case sales growth.

Growth in net sales of 20% and operating profit of 7% primarily reflects the increased volume and higher effective net pricing. The acquisition of SoBe and our new products Dole, Mountain Dew Code Red, Sierra Mist and Pepsi Twist, accounted for the majority of the revenue growth. SoBe and Dole are sold as finished product to our bottlers. Accordingly, net sales growth was accelerated due to their significantly higher price per unit for these products. The SoBe acquisition contributed 7 percentage points to net sales growth. These gains were partially offset by increased customer support.

Operating profit growth was slowed by the increased advertising and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses grew at a significantly faster rate than sales. The SoBe acquisition reduced operating profit growth by 4 percentage points primarily due to brand amortization.

Overall volume grew 8% reflecting strong 17% growth in Gatorade products and a 1% decline in Tropicana products. The Gatorade volume growth resulted from new product introductions and the national launch of Propel. Excluding the loss of the single serve Pure Premium business at Burger King, Tropicana volume growth was nearly 1% as gains in Tropicana chilled products, driven by Pure Premium nutritionals and Dole blends, were offset by declines in Tropicana ambient products led by Twister.

Net sales increased 4% and operating profit increased 1% primarily due to the volume gains and favorable product mix. The volume gains contributed over 7 percentage points to the net sales growth which were greatly offset by increased promotional spending. The increased promotional spending reflects the competitive marketplace and chilled juice and juice drink category softness. Operating profit benefited from lower costs driven by merger-related synergies.

2001

Overall volume grew 4%. This growth was led by three new Gatorade flavors and double-digit growth in Tropicana Pure Premium nutritionals, offset by low double-digit declines in Tropicana Season’s Best.

Net sales increased 5% and operating profit increased 6% due to the volume gains and higher effective net pricing for Gatorade. Operating profit also benefited from lower general and administrative expenses, partially offset by higher advertising and marketing expenses and higher Tropicana manufacturing costs as a result of lower fruit yields, higher energy costs and lower production leverage.

BCS increased 5% reflecting broad-based increases led by strong double-digit growth in China, India, Turkey and Russia. These advances were partially offset by declines in Argentina due to poor macroeconomic conditions. For the year, total concentrate shipments to franchisees grew 6%, while their BCS grew at a slower rate.

Unfavorable foreign currency movements reduced net sales growth by 2 percentage points and operating profit by 7 percentage points as currency weaknesses in Latin America and Egypt were partially offset by stronger currencies in Europe.

Net sales increased 1% and operating profit increased 23% due to the volume gains partially offset by the unfavorable effect of foreign currency movements. We franchised our Gatorade business in certain countries and, as a result, we now sell concentrate as opposed to full goods to bottlers in these countries. The impact of the franchising reduced net sales growth by 2 percentage points. The Gatorade franchising increased operating profit growth by 13 percentage points as a result of prior year operating losses. This growth was partially offset by increases in general and administrative and advertising and marketing expenses.

2001

BCS increased 4.5% due to broad-based increases led by Russia, China and Brazil. These increases were partially offset by pricing-related declines in Mexico and Saudi Arabia coupled with a macroeconomic decline in Turkey. For the year, total concentrate shipments to franchisees grew 3%, while their BCS grew at about the same rate.

Net sales increased 2% and operating profit increased 32% primarily due to the volume gains and higher effective net pricing, partially offset by a net unfavorable foreign currency impact. The net unfavorable foreign currency impact reduced net sales growth by 4.5 percentage points, primarily in Europe, Brazil and Egypt, and reduced operating profit growth by 11 percentage points, primarily in Europe. Overall margin improvements contributed to operating profit growth.

Pound volume increased 2%. Hot cereals and ready-to-eat cereals each contributed 1 percentage point of volume growth driven by new product introductions and product news.

Growth in net sales of 2% and operating profit of 21% was due to increased cereal volume. In addition, the benefit of productivity, merger-related synergies and lower advertising and marketing expense, partially offset by higher oat prices, contributed more than 15 percentage points of the operating profit growth.

2001

Pound volume decreased 1% driven by declines in ready-to-eat cereals and bulk cornmeal and oats products, largely offset by growth in hot cereals. The hot cereals growth resulted primarily from new products and flavor varieties.

Growth in net sales of 1% and operating profit of 8% was primarily due to higher effective net pricing, reflecting a mix shift to higher priced products, and the price increases for cereals which more than offset lower overall volume.

Our strong cash-generating capability and financial condition give us ready access to capital markets throughout the world. Our principal source of liquidity is operating cash flows, which are derived from net income. This cash-generating capability is one of our fundamental strengths and provides us with substantial financial flexibility in meeting operating, investing and financing needs. We focus on management operating cash flow as a key element in achieving maximum shareholder value.

Operating Activities

In 2002, net cash provided by operating activities of $4.6 billion primarily reflects our solid business results and our emphasis on working capital efficiencies. Net cash provided by operating activities includes pension plan contributions of $820 million and a net tax refund of approximately $250 million in 2002. We expect pension plan contributions to be at a significantly lower level in 2003.

In 2001, net cash provided by operating activities of $3.8 billion primarily reflects our solid business results less cash paid for merger-related costs and other restructuring charges.

Investing Activities

In 2002, net cash used in investing activities of $0.5 billion primarily reflects capital spending and acquisitions, primarily the Wotsits brand in the United Kingdom, partially offset by maturities of short-term investments of $0.8 billion, and proceeds from the Pepsi-Gemex transaction.

In 2001, net cash used in investing activities of $2.3 billion primarily reflects capital spending, the acquisition of SoBe and purchases of short-term investments of $0.5 billion.

Capital spending was $1.4 billion in 2002, $1.3 billion in 2001 and $1.4 billion in 2000. We expect capital spending to continue at a rate of approximately 5.5% to 6% of net sales.

Financing Activities

In 2002, cash used for financing activities of $3.2 billion primarily reflects share repurchases of $2.2 billion and dividend payments of $1 billion. Our policy is to pay dividends equal to approximately one-third of our previous year’s net income.

In 2001, cash used for financing activities of $1.9 billion primarily reflects share repurchases of $1.7 billion and dividend payments of $1.0 billion. These payments were partially offset by the net proceeds of $524 million from the issuance of 13.2 million shares of our repurchased common stock to qualify for pooling-of-interests accounting treatment in connection with the merger with Quaker.

In 2002, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $5 billion over a three-year period. In 2003, we expect share repurchases to continue at a level consistent with the years presented.In 2001, subsequent to our merger with Quaker, we repurchased shares of our common stock, as permitted by the emergency and exemptive orders from the Securities and Exchange Commission aimed at facilitating the reopening of the United States equities market on September 17, 2001, following the events of September 11th. Our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $2 billion worth of our common stock during the terms of these orders. Repurchases under these orders did not compromise our accounting for the Quaker merger. All prior authorizations for share repurchases had been rescinded as a result of the PepsiCo and Quaker merger.

Management Operating Cash Flow

Management operating cash flow is the primary measure management uses to monitor cash flow performance. It is not a measure calculated under United States generally accepted accounting principles. We believe capital spending is a recurring and essential use of cash necessary to maintain our operating capabilities. The table below reconciles net cash provided by operating activities as reflected in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows to our management operating cash flow.

Management operating cash flow was used primarily to fund share repurchases and dividend payments. In 2000, management operating cash flow was also used to reduce long-term debt. We expect management operating cash flow for fiscal year 2003 to remain strong and at levels consistent with the years presented above. However, see “Cautionary Statements” for certain factors that may impact our operating cash flows.

Credit Ratings

Our debt ratings of A1 from Moody’s and A from Standard & Poor’s contribute to our ability to access global capital markets. Each rating is considered a strong investment grade bond rating with strong debt protection measures. These ratings reflect the third highest rankings out of nine-tier ranking systems. They reflect our strong operating cash flows and include the impact of the cash flows and debt of our anchor bottlers. We have maintained these healthy ratings since 1989, demonstrating the stability of our operating cash flows.

Credit Facilities and Long-Term Contractual Commitments

SeeNote 9 to our consolidated financial statements for a description of our credit facilities and long-term contractual commitments.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

It is not our business practice to enter into off-balance sheet arrangements nor is it our policy to issue guarantees to our bottlers, noncontrolled affiliates or third parties. However, certain guarantees were necessary to facilitate the separation of our bottling and restaurant operations from us. As of year-end 2002, we believe it is remote that these guarantees would require any cash payment. SeeNote 9 to our consolidated financial statements for a description of our off-balance sheet arrangements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Our Divisions

49

Basis of Presentation

Our financial statements include the consolidated accounts of PepsiCo, Inc. and the affiliates that we control. In addition, we include our share of the results of certain other affiliates based on our ownership interest. We do not control these other affiliates as our ownership in these other affiliates is generally less than fifty percent. Our share of the net income of noncontrolled bottling affiliates is reported in our income statement as bottling equity income. SeeNote 8 for additional information on our noncontrolled bottling affiliates.2 – Our share of other noncontrolled affiliates is included in division operating profit. As a result of changes in the operations of our European snack joint venture, Snack Ventures Europe (SVE), we determined that effective in 2002, consolidation was required. Therefore, SVE’s results of operations are consolidated with PepsiCo in 2002. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated.Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

53

Our fiscal year ends on the last Saturday in December and, as a result, a 53rd week is added every fifth or sixth year. The fiscal year ended December 30, 2000 consisted of fifty-three weeks.

The impact of the 53rd week and certain other items, such as merger-related costs (described inNote 3), the adoption of SFAS 142 (described inNote 4) and the SVE consolidation affect the comparability of our consolidated results. For additional unaudited information on these items, see “Our Divisions” below and “Items Affecting Comparability” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Tabular dollars are in millions, except per share amounts. All per share amounts reflect common per share amounts, assume dilution unless noted, and are based on unrounded amounts. Certain reclassifications were made to prior year amounts to conform to the 2002 presentation.

Our Divisions

We manufacture, market and sell a variety of salty, sweet and grain-based snacks, carbonated and noncarbonated beverages, and foods through our North American and international business divisions. Our North American divisions include the United States and Canada. The accounting policies for the divisions are the same as those described inNote 2.

Division results are based on how our Chief Executive Officer manages our divisions. Beginning in 2003, we will combine our North American beverage businesses as PepsiCo Beverages North America and our international food and beverage businesses as PepsiCo International to reflect operating and management changes. Merger-related costs and significant other impairment and restructuring charges are not included in division results. In addition, prior year division results are adjusted to reflect the adoption of SFAS 142 and consolidation of SVE, and exclude divested businesses. For additional unaudited information on our divisions, see “Our Operations” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

FLNA branded products are sold to independent distributors and retailers.

PepsiCo Beverages North America

PepsiCo Beverages North America (PBNA) manufactures or uses contract manufacturers, markets and sells beverage concentrates, fountain syrups and finished goods, under the brands Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Sierra Mist, Mug, SoBe, Gatorade, Tropicana Pure Premium, Dole, Tropicana Season’s Best, Tropicana Twister and Propel. PBNA also manufactures, markets and sells ready-to-drink tea and coffee products through joint ventures with Lipton and Starbucks. In addition, PBNA licenses the Aquafina water brand to its bottlers and markets this brand. PBNA sells concentrate and finished goods for some of these brands to bottlers licensed by us, and some of these branded products are sold directly by us to independent distributors and retailers. The franchise bottlers sell our brands as finished goods to independent distributors and retailers. PBNA’s volume reflects sales to its independent distributors and retailers, and the sales of beverages bearing our trademarks that franchise bottlers have reported as sold to independent distributors and retailers.

PepsiCo International

PepsiCo International (PI) manufactures through consolidated businesses as well as through noncontrolled affiliates, a number of leading salty and sweet snack brands including Sabritas, Gamesa and Alegro in Mexico, Walkers in the United Kingdom, and Smith’s in Australia. Further, PI manufactures or uses contract manufacturers, markets and sells many Quaker brand snacks. PI also manufactures, markets and sells beverage concentrates, fountain syrups and finished goods under the brands Pepsi, 7UP, Mirinda, Mountain Dew, Gatorade and Tropicana outside North America. These brands are sold to franchise bottlers, independent distributors and retailers. However, in certain markets, PI operates its own bottling plants and distribution facilities. PI also licenses the Aquafina water brand to certain of its franchise bottlers. PI reports two measures of volume. Snack volume is reported on a system-wide basis, which includes our own volume and the volume sold by our noncontrolled affiliates. Beverage volume reflects company-owned and franchise bottler sales of beverages bearing our trademarks to independent distributors and retailers.

Quaker Foods North America

Quaker Foods North America (QFNA) manufactures or uses contract manufacturers, markets and sells cereals, rice, pasta and other branded products. QFNA’s products include Quaker oatmeal, Cap’n Crunch and Life ready-to-eat cereals, Rice-A-Roni, Pasta Roni and Near East side dishes, Aunt Jemima mixes and syrups and Quaker grits. These branded products are sold to independent distributors and retailers.

Our Chairman and CEO Perspective

The questions below reflect those commonly asked by our shareholders, and are followed by answers from our Chairman and CEO, Steve Reinemund. Commonly asked questions regarding current financial issues have been included in “Our Financial Results,” along with responses from our President and CFO, Indra Nooyi.

(1) This year, obesity and health and wellness have been making headlines in almost every newspaper and magazine. What are you doing to address these concerns?

We are actively addressing health and wellness and see this as an opportunity for us to provide a diversified portfolio for consumers. We see this as a win for ourselves and for our customers. You are right in that you can’t read a newspaper without finding a story on obesity and its related health consequences. For us, it signals that consumers want more choices of convenient foods and beverages that are healthier.

Rather than looking at this consumer need as a threat to our business, we began in the late 1990s to focus on further building a portfolio of better-for-you and good-for-you brands – literally re-tooling our company for future growth. Adding Tropicana, Quaker Oats and Gatorade brands over the last several years has dramatically increased our ability to provide more choices for consumers. We committed to driving 50% of our North American product innovation to better-for-you and good-for-you products. We exceeded that goal in 2003, and led the food and beverage industry as the first major company to eliminate trans fats from our corn snacks.

And that’s just the beginning. We’ve engaged leading health and nutrition experts to help us identify consumer nutrition needs. We are adopting scientifically accepted standards for nutritious foods and beverages – those based on guidance from the National Academy of Sciences and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration – to better assess our product portfolios. We’ve expanded product choices with trusted brands like Quaker, Tropicana, Gatorade, Diet Pepsi, Baked Lay’s and Aquafina. We’ve identified many opportunities for other product improvements, and we’re aggressively pursuing new product platforms. So you can see, health and wellness means opportunity for us.

(2) Retail consolidation and the power of companies like Wal-Mart seems ever-growing. What does this mean for PepsiCo?

We can only achieve long-term success if we help our business partners with their success. So when we work with retailers, franchise bottlers, joint-venture partners and suppliers, we try to ensure that our partnerships appropriately balance the interests of both parties. With our retail customers, we strive to provide products and services that contribute to growth in their sales, profit and cash flow.

Based on our research, we are a significant source of sales, profit, and cash flow growth for our retail customers. Our 16 billion-dollar brands create significant consumer pull for our retailers. This pull translates into pricing leverage for our retailers. In addition,

our products are restocked often and frequently purchased on impulse. Add these factors together with our portfolio of choice for consumers and you can see why we have been, and continue to be, so important to the profit equation of our retail customers.

I also believe that our powerful Direct-Store-Delivery (DSD) system offers a unique benefit. We have almost daily contact with our retailers and consumers. We can quickly react to the marketplace and can tailor our marketing and merchandising.

Certainly, the consolidation of retailers can increase financial risk. Here, we believe that we are in a relatively good position. With our DSD system, we have better control over inventory levels. In addition, our 30-day or less sales terms and the high turnover of our products limit our financial risk.

(3) We’ve heard a lot from your soft drink competitor and its bottlers over the last six months—about better and greater sharing of the profits. Are PepsiCo and its bottlers aligned?

Here again, our long-term success is dependent on the success of our business partners and this requires alignment with our bottlers. With our bottlers, we strive to conduct business in a way that allows both the bottlers and PepsiCo to earn a reasonable return. We cannot grow at the expense of our bottlers.

(4) 2003 seemed to be jam-packed with innovation, from new products like Lay’s Stax, Pepsi Vanilla, and Frito-Lay Natural line, to expanded distribution for Sierra Mist and Propel fitness water. How does 2004 product innovation measure up?

I feel very confident that our 2004 innovation line-up can stand up to the success of 2003. We know that targeting our innovation to the changing consumer is key to our future success. Our 2004 innovation reflects a broad range of consumer choices, including those focused on health and wellness. It starts with new beverage products at Tropicana, including new Light ‘n Healthy, with 1/3 fewer calories and Healthy Heart, with vitamins, potassium and folate. Our fun-for-you innovation continues with the many products introduced late in 2003 like Lay’s Stax and Pepsi Vanilla. New snack innovation for 2004 also includes our low-carb Doritos and Tostitos offerings, Doritos Rollitos, a better-for-you Munchies kid mix, new multi-serve options and Frito-Lay Natural line-extensions. These are just some of the exciting new products for 2004.

Keep in mind that growth is not simply the number of new products in one year versus another. We also get a lift from targeting certain distribution channels or consumers. Consider our Frito-Lay Natural line which is high margin and very incremental, as it places our products in a completely new aisle for us and targets a different consumer.

(5) Carbonated soft drink (CSD) growth has been slowing overall, and brand Pepsi has been declining. Are you concerned about this?

We saw declines in brand Pepsi in 2003, but I think in part, we are losing some cola volume to our non-carbonated products, such as water, tea and isotonics, as well as diet. As the leading liquid refreshment beverage company, this is a trade-off issue for us. Change in consumer choice has translated into explosive growth in water and isotonics, where we have leading brands. Aquafina and Gatorade had double-digit volume growth in 2003. On the carbonated soft drink front, we have seen very good diet CSD performance for both the industry and for Pepsi specifically. In 2003, Diet Pepsi had solid volume growth. This diet growth reflects a consumer focused on less calories. That being said, we also have tremendous focus on strengthening our namesake brand, and have committed significant resources in new advertising and promotions to support brand Pepsi in 2004 and beyond.

So you can see, we are addressing consumer desires with expanded product choices, and with committed resources to strengthen Pepsi-Cola.

Our Customers

Our customers include franchise bottlers and independent distributors and retailers. We grant our bottlers exclusive contracts to sell and manufacture certain beverage products bearing our trademarks within a specific geographic area. These arrangements specify the amount to be paid by our bottlers for concentrate and full goods and for Aquafina royalties, as well as the manufacturing process required for product quality.

Since we do not sell directly to the consumer, we rely on and provide financial incentives to our customers to assist in the distribution and promotion of our products. For our independent distributors and retailers, these incentives include volume-based rebates, product placement fees, promotions and displays. For our bottlers, these incentives are referred to as bottler funding and are negotiated annually with each bottler to support a variety of trade and consumer programs, such as consumer incentives, advertising support, new product support, and vending and cooler equipment placement. Consumer incentives include coupons, pricing discounts and promotions, such as sweepstakes and other promotional offers. Advertising support is directed at advertising programs and supporting bottler media. New product support includes targeted consumer and retailer incentives and direct marketplace support, such as point-of-purchase materials, product placement fees, media and advertising. Vending and cooler equipment placement programs support the acquisition and placement of vending machines and cooler equipment. The nature and type of programs vary annually. The level of bottler funding is at our discretion because these incentives are not required by the terms of our bottling contracts.

Sales to Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. represent approximately 10% of our global net revenue. Retail consolidation has increased the importance of major customers and further

consolidation is expected. Our top five retail customers currently represent approximately 26% of our 2003 North American gross revenue, with Wal-Mart representing approximately 12%. In addition, sales to The Pepsi Bottling Group (PBG) represent approximately 10% of our net revenue. SeeNote 8 to our consolidated financial statements for more information on our anchor bottlers.

Our Related Party Bottlers

We have ownership interests in certain of our bottlers. Our ownership is generally less than fifty percent and since we do not control these bottlers, we do not consolidate their results. We include our share of their net income based on our percentage of ownership in our income statement as bottling equity income. We have designated three related party bottlers, PBG, PepsiAmericas, Inc. (PAS) and Pepsi Bottling Ventures (PBV), as our anchor bottlers. Our anchor bottlers distribute approximately 65% of our North American beverage volume and approximately 20% of our international beverage volume. These bottlers participate in the bottler funding programs described above. Approximately 12% of our total sales incentives for 2003 related to these bottlers. SeeNote 8 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information on these related parties and related party commitments and guarantees.

Our Distribution Network

Our products are brought to market through direct-store-delivery, broker-warehouse and food service and vending distribution networks. The distribution system used depends on customer needs, product characteristics, and local trade practices.

Direct-Store-Delivery

We and our bottlers operate direct-store-delivery systems that deliver snacks and beverages directly to retail stores where the products are merchandised by our employees or our bottlers.Direct-store-delivery enables us to merchandise with maximum visibility and appeal. Direct-store-delivery is especially well-suited to products that are restocked often and respond to in-store promotion and merchandising.

Broker-Warehouse

Some of our products are delivered from our warehouses to customer warehouses and retail stores. These less costly systems generally work best for products that are less fragile and perishable, have lower turnover, and are less likely to be impulse purchases.

Foodservice and Vending

Our foodservice and vending sales force distributes snacks, foods and beverages to third-party foodservice and vending distributors and operators, and for certain beverages, distributes through our bottlers. This distribution system supplies our products to schools, businesses, stadiums, restaurants and similar locations.

Our Competition

Our businesses operate in highly competitive markets. We compete against global, regional and private label manufacturers on the basis of price, quality, product variety and effective distribution. Success in this competitive environment is primarily achieved through effective promotion of existing products and the introduction of new products. We believe that the strength of our brands, innovation and marketing, coupled with the quality of our products and flexibility of our distribution network, allow us to compete effectively.

Other Relationships

Certain members of our Board of Directors also serve on the boards of certain vendors and customers. Those Board members do not participate in our vendor selection and negotiations nor in our customer negotiations. Our transactions with these vendors and customers are in the normal course of business and are consistent with terms negotiated with other vendors and customers. In addition, certain of our employees serve on the boards of our anchor bottlers and other affiliated companies and do not receive incremental compensation for their Board services.

Our Market Risks

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

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

foreign exchange rates;

stock prices; and

discount rates, affecting the measurement of our pension and retiree medical liabilities.

In the normal course of business, we manage these risks through a variety of strategies, including the use of derivatives designated as cash flow and fair value hedges. The fair value of our hedges fluctuates based on market rates and prices. The sensitivity of our hedges to these market fluctuations is discussed below. SeeNote 10 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of these hedges and our hedging policies. See “Our Critical Accounting Policies” for a discussion of the exposure of our pension plan assets and pension and retiree medical liabilities to risks related to stock prices and discount rates.

Inflationary, deflationary and recessionary conditions impacting these market risks also impact the demand for and pricing of our products. See “Cautionary Statements” for further discussion.

Commodity Prices

Our open commodity derivative contracts designated as hedges had a face value of $43 million at December 27, 2003 and $70 million at December 28, 2002. These derivatives resulted in a net unrealized gain of $4 million at December 27, 2003 and $6 million at December 28, 2002. We estimate that a 10% decline in commodity prices would have resulted in an unrealized loss of $1 million in 2003 and $2 million in 2002.

At the end of 2002, we made the strategic decision to switch from oil containing trans fats, such as hydrogenated soybean oil, to healthier corn oil for our salty snacks. As a result of our decision and that of others to follow, corn oil costs were more difficult to completely manage in 2003 with hedges or purchase commitments due to the limited availability of corn oil. We expect to be able to mitigate the risk of fluctuating corn oil prices with hedges or purchase commitments in 2004.

Foreign Exchange

Financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities and weighted-average exchange rates for revenues and expenses. Adjustments resulting from translating net assets are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss within shareholders’ equity called currency translation adjustment.

Our operations outside of the United States generate about 35% of our net revenue of which Mexico, the United Kingdom and Canada comprise nearly 20%. As a result, we are exposed to foreign currency risks, including from unforeseen economic changes and political unrest. During 2003, the impact of the unfavorable Mexican peso was more than offset by the favorable euro, British pound and the Canadian dollar resulting in a contribution of nearly 1 percentage point to revenue growth. For operating profit, this unfavorability was not offset and unfavorable foreign currency reduced operating profit growth by 1 percentage point. If declines in the Mexican peso continue and are not offset, our future results will be adversely impacted.

Exchange rate gains or losses related to foreign currency transactions are recognized as transaction gains or losses in the income statement as incurred. We may enter into derivatives to manage our exposure to foreign currency transaction risk. Our foreign currency derivatives had a total face value of $484 million at December 27, 2003 and $329 million at December 28, 2002. These contracts had a net unrealized loss of $30 million at December 27, 2003 and less than $1 million at December 28, 2002. We estimate that an unfavorable 10% change in the exchange rates would have resulted in an unrealized loss of $50 million in 2003 and $34 million in 2002.

Stock Prices

We manage the market risk related to our deferred compensation liability, which is indexed to certain market indices and our stock price, with mutual fund investments and prepaid forward contracts for the purchase of our stock. The combined gains or losses on these investments are offset by changes in our deferred compensation liability, which are included in corporate selling, general and administrative expenses.

Cautionary Statements

We discuss expectations regarding our future performance, such as our business outlook, in our annual and quarterly reports, press releases, and other written and oral statements. These “forward-looking statements” are based on currently available competitive, financial and economic data and our operating plans. They are inherently uncertain, and investors must recognize that events could turn out to be significantly different from our expectations. The following discussion of risks and uncertainties is by no means all inclusive but is designed to highlight what we believe are important factors to consider when evaluating our trends and future results.

Product Demand and Retail Consolidation

We are a consumer products company and rely on continued demand for our products. To generate revenues and profits, we must sell products that appeal to our customers and to consumers. Our continued success is dependent on our product innovation, effective sales incentives, advertising campaigns and marketing programs, and our responses to consumer health concerns, including obesity, and changes in product category consumption. Seasonal weather conditions, particularly for sports drinks and hot cereals, can also impact demand. Our top five retail customers now represent approximately 26% of our North American gross revenue reflecting the continuing consolidation of the retail trade. In this environment, there continues to be competitive product and pricing pressures, as well as challenges in maintaining profit margins. We must maintain mutually beneficial relationships with our key customers, including our retailers and anchor bottlers, to effectively compete.

Cost Pressures

Our costs are not fixed but fluctuate, particularly due to the availability of labor and raw materials. Therefore, our success is dependent in part on our continued ability to manage these costs through productivity initiatives, purchasing commitments and hedges. Ongoing productivity initiatives require the identification of meaningful cost saving opportunities or efficiencies and effective implementation.

Global Economic Conditions

Unforeseen economic changes and political unrest may result in business interruption, foreign currency devaluation, inflation, deflation or decreased demand, particularly in Latin America, Europe and the Middle East. Economic conditions in North America could also adversely impact growth, particularly in convenience stores where our products are generally sold in higher margin single serve packages.

Regulatory Environment

Changes in laws, regulations and the related interpretations, including changes in food and drug laws, accounting standards, taxation requirements, competition laws and environmental laws may alter the environment in which we do business and, therefore, impact our results or increase our liabilities.

OUR CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

An appreciation of our critical accounting policies is necessary to understand our financial results. These policies require management to make difficult and subjective judgments regarding uncertainties, and as a result, such estimates may significantly impact our financial results. The precision of these estimates and the likelihood of future changes depend on a number of underlying variables and a range of possible outcomes. Other than our accounting for stock compensation, our critical accounting policies do not involve the choice between alternative methods of accounting. We applied our critical accounting policies and estimation methods consistently in all periods presented and have discussed these policies with our Audit Committee.

Our critical accounting policies arise in conjunction with the following:

revenue recognition,

brand and goodwill valuations,

income tax expense and accruals,

stock compensation expense, and

pension and retiree medical plans.

Revenue Recognition

Our products are sold for cash or on credit terms. Our credit terms, which are established in accordance with local and industry practices, typically require payment within 30 days of delivery and may allow discounts for early payment. We recognize revenue upon delivery to our customers in accordance with written sales terms that do not allow for a right of return. However, our policy for direct-store-delivery and chilled products is to remove and replace damaged and out-of-date products from store shelves to ensure that consumers receive the product quality and freshness they expect. Similarly, our policy for warehouse distributed products is to replace damaged and out-of-date products. Based on our historical experience with this practice, we have reserved for anticipated

damaged and out-of-date product. Our bottlers have a similar replacement policy and are responsible for the products they distribute.

As discussed in “Our Customers,” we offer sales incentives through various programs to customers and consumers. Sales incentives are accounted for as a reduction of sales and totaled $6.0 billion in 2003, $5.5 billion in 2002 and $4.7 billion in 2001. A number of these programs, such as bottler funding and customer volume rebates, are based on annual targets, and accruals are established during the year for the expected payout. The accruals are based on our historical experience with similar programs. The terms of most of our incentive arrangements do not exceed a year. However, certain arrangements, including fountain pouring rights, may extend up to 15 years. Costs incurred to obtain these arrangements are recognized over the life of the contract as a reduction of sales, and the outstanding balance of $359 million at year-end 2003 and $349 million at year-end 2002 is included in other assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

We estimate and reserve for our bad debt exposure from credit sales based on our experience. Our method of determining the reserves has been consistent during the years presented in the consolidated financial statements. Bad debt expense is classified within selling, general and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statement of Income.

Brand and Goodwill Valuations

We sell products under a number of brand names, many of which were developed by us. The brand development costs are expensed as incurred. We also purchase brands and goodwill in acquisitions. Upon acquisition, the purchase price is first allocated to identifiable assets and liabilities, including brands, based on estimated fair value, with any remaining purchase price recorded as goodwill.

We believe that a brand has an indefinite life if it has significant market share in a stable macroeconomic environment, and a history of strong revenue and cash flow performance that we expect to continue for the foreseeable future. If these perpetual brand criteria are not met, brands are amortized over their expected useful lives, which generally range from five to twenty years. Determining the expected life of a brand requires considerable management judgment and is based on an evaluation of a number of factors, including the competitive environment, market share, brand history and the macroeconomic environment of the country in which the brand is sold.

Goodwill and perpetual brands are not amortized. Perpetual brands and goodwill are assessed for impairment at least annually to ensure that estimated future cash flows continue to exceed the related book value. A perpetual brand is impaired if its book value exceeds its fair value. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment if the book value of its reporting unit exceeds its fair value. A reporting unit can be a division or business within a division. If the fair value of an evaluated asset is less than its book value, the asset is written down to fair value based on its discounted future cash flows.

Amortizable brands are only evaluated for impairment upon a significant change in the operating or macroeconomic environment. If an evaluation of the undiscounted cash flows indicates impairment, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value, which is based on its discounted future cash flows.

Considerable management judgment is necessary to evaluate the impact of operating and macroeconomic changes and to estimate future cash flows. Assumptions used in our impairment evaluations, such as forecasted growth rates and our cost of capital, are consistent with our internal projections and operating plans.

We did not recognize any impairment charges for perpetual brands or goodwill during the years presented. As of December 27, 2003, we had $4.7 billion of perpetual brands and goodwill, of which nearly 75% related to Tropicana and Walkers. In our most recent impairment evaluations for Tropicana and Walkers, no impairment charges would have resulted even if operating profit growth were assumed to be 5% lower.

Income Tax Expense and Accruals

In 2003, our annual tax rate was 28.5% compared to 32.3% in 2002 as discussed in “Other Consolidated Results.” For 2004, our annual tax rate is expected to be 29.5% reflecting the absence of a $109 million benefit from the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agreements discussed below, and lower taxes on foreign results, which includes the increasing benefit from our new concentrate operations, and certain ongoing benefits resulting from agreements reached with the IRS.

Our annual tax rate is based on our income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities 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. We establish reserves when, despite our belief that our tax return positions are fully supportable, we believe that certain positions are likely to be challenged and that we may not succeed. We adjust these reserves, as well as the related interest, in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the progress of a tax audit. An estimated effective tax rate for a year is applied to our quarterly operating results. In the event there is a significant or unusual item recognized in our quarterly operating results, the tax attributable to that item is separately calculated and recorded at the same time as that item. We consider the tax benefits from the Quaker merger-related costs and the taxes related to divestitures of businesses to be such items.

Tax law requires items to be included in the tax return at different times than the items are reflected in the financial statements. As a result, our annual tax rate reflected in our financial statements is different than that reported in our tax return (our cash tax rate). Some of these differences are permanent, such as expenses that are not deductible in our tax return, and some differences reverse over time, such as depreciation expense. These timing differences create deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets generally represent items that can be used as a tax deduction or credit in our tax return in future years for which we have already recorded the tax benefit in our income statement. We

establish valuation allowances for our deferred tax assets when we believe expected future taxable income is not likely to support the use of a deduction or credit in that tax jurisdiction. Deferred tax liabilities generally represent tax expense recognized in our financial statements for which payment has been deferred, or expense for which we have already taken a deduction in our tax return but we have not yet recognized as expense in our financial statements. We have not recognized any United States tax expense on undistributed international earnings since we intend to reinvest the earnings outside the United States for the foreseeable future. These undistributed earnings are approximately $8.8 billion at December 27, 2003 and $7.5 billion at December 28, 2002.

A number of years may elapse before a particular matter, for which we have established a reserve, is audited and finally resolved. The number of years with open tax audits varies depending on the tax jurisdiction. At the end of 2003, we entered into agreements with the IRS for open years through 1997. As part of these agreements, we also resolved the treatment of certain other issues related to future tax years. These agreements resulted in a tax benefit of $109 million in the fourth quarter of 2003 and resolved issues that will lower our future tax rate. Our tax returns subsequent to 1997 have not yet been examined. While it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of resolution of any particular tax matter, we believe that our reserves reflect the most probable outcome of known tax contingencies. Settlement of any particular issue would usually require the use of cash. Favorable resolution would be recognized as a reduction to our annual tax rate in the year of resolution. Our tax reserves are presented in the balance sheet within other liabilities, except for amounts relating to items we expect to pay in the coming year which are classified as current income taxes payable. For more information on the impact of our tax agreements, see “Other Consolidated Results” and “Our Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Stock Compensation Expense

We believe that we will achieve our best results if our employees act and are rewarded as business owners. Therefore, we believe stock ownership and stock-based incentive awards are the best way to align the interests of employees with those of our shareholders. Historically, we have used stock options as our primary form of long-term incentive compensation. These grants are made at the current stock price, meaning each employee’s exercise price is equivalent to our stock price on the date of grant. Employees must generally provide three additional years of service to earn the grant; this is referred to as vesting. Our options generally have a ten-year term which means our employees would have seven years after the vesting date to elect to pay the exercise price to purchase one share of our stock for each option exercised. Employees benefit from stock options to the extent our stock price appreciates above the exercise price after vesting and during the term of the grant.

At the end of 2003, our Board approved a new compensation program which strengthens the link between pay and individual performance by differing the amount of long-term compensation for each employee based on responsibility and, for executive grants, based on individual performance. Our new program will provide our executives with the choice

of being granted stock options or restricted stock units (RSUs). RSUs do not require the executive to pay an exercise price to receive a share of our stock. Executives who elect RSUs will receive one RSU for every four stock options that would have otherwise been granted. In addition, the size of the annual executive grant will be reduced to provide for a long-term cash bonus to executives. Three years of service after the grant date will continue to be required to earn the stock compensation, as well as to earn the entire long-term cash bonus. As part of the new 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) program, our broad-based SharePower program will be reduced by approximately 50% for employees in the U.S. and replaced with 401(k) matching contributions of PepsiCo stock. For additional information on the 401(k) savings plans, seeNote 7 to our consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Method of Accounting

Historically, we accounted for our employee stock options using the intrinsic value method. This method measures stock compensation expense as the amount by which the market price of the stock on the date of grant exceeds the exercise price. We did not recognize any stock compensation expense under this method because we granted our stock options at the current stock price.

At the end of 2003, we voluntarily adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock options. We selected the retroactive restatement method as described in SFAS 148,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure, to adopt this accounting. Under this method, we have restated our results for the years presented to recognize stock compensation expense as if we had applied the fair value method to account for our unvested stock options. We recognize stock compensation expense from the date of grant to the vesting date.

The restatement reduced our results as follows:

   2003

  2002

  2001

Operating profit

  $407  $435  $385

Net income

  $293  $313  $262

Net income per common share - diluted

  $0.16  $0.17  $0.14

The impact of the restatement has been recorded in corporate unallocated expenses in each of the years presented. Stock compensation expense was not included in division results as the divisions were not held responsible for this expense. Commencing in 2004, our divisions will be held accountable for stock compensation expense and will be allocated an incremental employee compensation cost. Prior year division results will then be adjusted for comparability. The expected allocation of compensation expense will be approximately 30% FLNA, 21% PBNA, 31% PI, 4% QFNA and 14% PepsiCo Corporate.

Our Assumptions

Under the fair value method of accounting, we measure stock option expense at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes valuation model. This model estimates the expected value our employees will receive from the options based on a number of assumptions, such as interest rates, employee exercises, our stock price and dividend yield. Our weighted-average Black-Scholes fair value assumptions include:

   2004

  2003

  2002

  2001

 

Expected life

  6 yrs.  6 yrs.  6 yrs.  5 yrs. 

Risk free interest rate

  3.4% 3.1% 4.4% 4.8%

Expected volatility

  26% 27% 27% 29%

Expected dividend yield

  1.15% 1.15% 1.14% 0.98%

The expected life is a significant assumption as it determines the period for which the risk free interest rate, volatility and dividend yield must be applied. The expected life is the average length of time we expect our employee groups will exercise their options. It is based on our historical experience with similar grants. The risk free interest rate is based on the expected U.S. Treasury rate over the expected life. Volatility reflects movements in our stock price over the most recent historical period equivalent to the expected life. Dividend yield is estimated over the expected life based on our stated dividend policy and forecasts of net income, share repurchases and stock price.

Sensitivity of Assumptions

If we assumed a 100 basis point change in the following assumptions, our estimated 2004 stock compensation expense would increase/(decrease) as follows:

   

100 Basis Point

Increase


 

100 Basis Point

Decrease


Risk free interest rate

  $4 $(4)

Expected volatility

  $1 $(1)

Expected dividend yield

  $(6) $7

If we assumed the expected life was one year longer, our estimated 2004 stock compensation expense would increase by $6 million. If we assumed the expected life was one year shorter, our estimated 2004 stock compensation expense would decrease by $8 million. Changing the assumed expected life changes all of the Black-Scholes valuation assumptions as the risk free interest rate, expected volatility and expected dividend yield are estimated over the expected life.

2004 Estimated Expense

Our 2004 stock compensation expense, including RSUs, is estimated to be approximately $360 million compared to $407 million in 2003. The reduction in our estimated 2004 expense is due to the changes in our new compensation plan. However, total executive compensation expense, including the new long-term cash bonus award, is not expected to significantly change in 2004.

Pension and Retiree Medical Plans

Our pension plans cover full-time employees in the United States and certain international employees. Benefits are determined based on either years of service or a combination of years of service and earnings. U.S. retirees are also eligible for medical and life insurance benefits (retiree medical) if they meet age and service requirements. Generally, our retiree medical costs are capped at a specified dollar amount, with retirees contributing the remainder, therefore, changes in assumptions will not materially affect retiree medical expense.

Our Assumptions

The pension or retiree medical benefits expected to be paid are expensed over the employees’ expected service. We must make many assumptions to measure our annual pension and retiree medical expense, including:

the interest rate used to determine the present value of liabilities (discount rate);

the expected return on assets in our funded plans;

the rate of salary increases for plans where benefits are based on earnings;

certain employee-related factors, such as turnover, retirement age and mortality; and

for retiree medical benefits, health care cost trend rates.

Our assumptions reflect our historical experience and management’s best judgment regarding future expectations. The assumptions, assets and liabilities used to measure our annual pension and retiree medical expense are determined as of September 30 (measurement date). Since pension and retiree medical liabilities are measured on a discounted basis, the discount rate is a significant assumption. It is based on interest rates for high-quality, long-term corporate debt at each measurement date. The expected return on pension plan assets is based on our historical experience, our pension plan investment guidelines, and our expectations for long-term rates of return. Our pension plan investment guidelines are established based upon an evaluation of market conditions, tolerance for risk and cash requirements for benefit payments. We updated the pension investment strategy for our U.S. plans during 2003, revising our investment allocation to a target of 60% equities (from a 65% target), with the balance in fixed income securities. As a result, our estimated pension expense for 2004 incorporates a reduction in the expected weighted average rate of return on plan assets to 7.8%, reflecting an estimated 9.3% return from equity securities and an estimated 5.5% return from debt securities. As permitted by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, plan

assets used in determining the expected return component of annual pension expense reflect the difference between the actual and the expected return in any one year over five years. Therefore, it takes five years for the gain or loss from any one year to be fully included in the measurement of plan assets.

Other gains and losses resulting from actual experience differing from our assumptions are also determined at each measurement date. If this net accumulated gain or loss exceeds 10% of the greater of plan assets or liabilities, a portion of the net gain or loss is included in expense for the following year. The cost or benefit of plan changes, such as increasing or decreasing benefits for prior employee service, is included in expense on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of the employees expected to receive benefits.

Weighted-average assumptions for pension and retiree medical expense:

   2004

  2003

  2002

 

Pension

          

Expense discount rate

Retiree medical

          

Expense discount rate

  6.1% 6.7% 7.5%

Current health care cost trend rate

  12.0% 10.0% 7.5%

Sensitivity of Assumptions

A decrease in the discount rate or a decrease in the rate of return on assets would increase pension expense. The estimated impact of a 25 basis point change in the discount rate on 2004 pension expense is a change of approximately $27 million. The estimated impact on 2004 pension expense of a 25 basis point change in the expected rate of return on assets is a change of approximately $12 million. SeeNote 7 to our consolidated financial statements regarding the sensitivity of our retiree medical cost assumptions.

Future Expense

Our 2004 pension expense is estimated to be approximately $245 million and retiree medical expense is estimated to be approximately $120 million. These estimates incorporate the 2004 assumptions, as well as the impact of the increased pension plan assets resulting from our discretionary contributions of $500 million in 2003 and the impact of the 2003 Medicare Act as discussed inNote 7 to our consolidated financial statements. An analysis of the estimated change in pension and retiree medical expense follows:

   Pension

  Retiree

2003 expense

Pension service costs and the impact of demographic changes are reflected in division results, while the impact of changes in discount and asset return rates, asset gains and losses, and the impact of funding are reflected in corporate unallocated. Under this policy, approximately $75 million of the increased expense in 2004 will be reflected in corporate unallocated expense.

Based on our current assumptions, experience mirroring these assumptions and assuming we make annual discretionary contributions of approximately $400 million, we expect our pension expense to increase by approximately $15 million in 2005 and by another $15 million in 2006. In 2007, our pension expense would begin to decrease, with the expense dropping to approximately $200 million by 2009 as the unrecognized losses are amortized. If our assumptions for retiree medical remain unchanged and our experience mirrors these assumptions, we expect our retiree medical expense beyond 2004 to approximate $130 million.

Future Funding

We make contributions to trusts maintained to provide plan benefits for certain pension plans. These contributions are made in accordance with applicable tax regulations that provide for current tax deductions for our contributions, and taxation to the employee only upon receipt of plan benefits. Generally, we do not fund our pension plans when our contributions would not be currently deductible or when the employee would be taxed prior to receipt of benefit.

Our pension contributions for 2003 were $535 million of which $500 million was discretionary. In 2004, we expect contributions to be $450 million of which approximately $400 million is expected to be discretionary with the remainder satisfying minimum requirements, including the pay-as-you-go requirements related to our unfunded plans. Our cash funding for retiree medical in 2004 is estimated to be $75 million. Since our retiree medical plans are not subject to regulatory funding requirements, we fund on a pay-as-you-go basis. For estimated future benefit payments, including our pay-as-you-go payments as well as those from trusts, seeNote 7 to our consolidated financial statements.

OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS

Our President and CFO Perspective

The questions below reflect those commonly asked by our shareholders about financial issues and are followed by answers from our President and CFO, Indra Nooyi.

(1) PepsiCo has strong cash flow and relatively little debt. Shouldn’t PepsiCo increase its dividend?

Our strong cash generation is one of our greatest strengths. In 2003, PepsiCo generated $4.3 billion in cash from operating activities. We invested $1.3 billion back into our businesses through capital spending, and returned $3.0 billion to our shareholders through a combination of share repurchases and dividend payments. Over the past three years, we’ve returned over $8.9 billion to our shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.

Our policy has been to return one-third of our prior year earnings to shareholders through dividend payments, and we are nearing completion of a $5 billion multi-year share repurchase program. As we do each spring, we will soon be meeting with our Board of Directors to discuss our capital structure, and this discussion will include consideration of our dividend rate and authorization for our share repurchase program. Any decisions regarding dividend rates and our share repurchase program will be communicated following the meeting.

(2) Why are your pension costs increasing, and what are you doing to control them?

Our pension cost increases have been largely influenced by a reduction in the interest rate used to calculate the current value of our pension obligations and by the relatively low market returns on the pension trust assets. Neither of these financial market conditions was unique to our plans. Interest rates are at a 40-year low, and the pension trust asset returns from 2000 to 2002 reflected the generally poor equity market performance in those years. We have adjusted our key pension expense assumptions to reflect the current market expectations of lower interest rates and lower investment returns, which contributed to the increase in our pension expense.

Over the past two years, we have contributed approximately $1.3 billion to our pension plans to ensure the plans remain financially sound. I am pleased to say that, at the end of 2003, our pension assets exceeded the liability for benefits earned to date for all our qualified pension plans.

(3) We have heard a lot from you about productivity/restructuring initiatives, such as Quaker merger synergies, Business Process Transformation and the reorganization of PBNA and PI. When will the savings get to the bottom line?

We have two kinds of productivity. The first is productivity that results within an operating division from volume leverage and through implementing multiple ideas for cost savings in all parts of the value chain. Every year, our operating divisions use some of those savings to fund business initiatives and offset cost inflation and the rest of those savings flow to the bottom line. This is what results in sustained margin improvements.

The second kind of productivity results from efficiencies that span our divisions where savings are generated when we combine resources. Items here include the procurement of goods and services on a combined basis and information technology platforms that can reduce back-office redundancies. The successful integration of Quaker delivered significant savings in these areas. Currently, I’m heading up our Business Process Transformation initiative that spans all divisions. With this initiative, we are driving toward an enterprise-wide information technology system based on common business processes to lower costs and serve our customers better. Our focus so far is North America and we are in the process of evaluating the enterprise-wide alternatives along with a timetable for implementation. This is a multi-year effort and savings from this initiative will help us sustain the margin improvement trend in our businesses.

(4) Do you expect to make any acquisitions in the near future?

We are constantly evaluating potential “tuck-in” acquisitions, which can be a brand, technology or distribution capability that leverages our existing infrastructure, and that can be easily integrated into our business. A great example of a recent tuck-in acquisition is our purchase of the Wotsits brand in the U.K.

However, we have very stringent financial and strategic criteria for making acquisitions, so we pursue only a small fraction of the potential acquisitions we evaluate, and we are not dependent on acquisitions to achieve our long-term financial and strategic objectives.

(5) Today, corporate excesses and fraudulent financial reporting seem all too common place. What are you doing to make sure this could never happen at PepsiCo?

We take the governance of your company very seriously. We were among the first to certify our financial statements under the new Sarbanes-Oxley rules because we wanted to demonstrate that we are absolutely committed to the highest standards of financial governance and integrity. Our corporate governance includes the following:

Strong oversight by our Board of Directors which includes 11 outside Directors and 2 inside Directors. Each Committee of our Board has a clear public charter and includes only outside directors. The Audit Committee of our Board includes 3 financial experts, and reviews our financial statements, critical accounting policies, earnings releases and our internal controls.

 


(a)
An internal control environment which is regularly monitored by an extensive program of internal audits. Our General Auditor assesses business and control risks, develops ongoing programs to mitigate identified risks and regularly reports on progress. This risk control process is monitored by our Risk Committee and Audit Committee of our Board.

A culture which encourages integrity and open communication. We provide continuous training to reinforce our focus on integrity. Last year, I personally encouraged finance associates all around the world to call me directly to discuss anything that makes them uncomfortable and we have telephone “Speak Up” lines accessible from around the world to ensure open lines of communication.

Impairment and Restructuring Charges and Merger-Related Costs

In the fourth quarter of 2003, we incurred a restructuring charge of $147 million in conjunction with the streamlining of our North American divisions and PepsiCo International. Also, during 2003 and 2002, we incurred costs associated with our merger

with The Quaker Oats Company (Quaker). For additional information, seeNote 3 to our consolidated financial statements.

Net Tax Benefit

At the end of 2003, we entered into agreements with the IRS for open tax years through 1997. As part of these agreements, we also resolved the treatment of certain other issues related to future tax years. These agreements resulted in a tax benefit of $109 million. For additional information, see “Our Critical Accounting Policies” and “Our Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Accounting Changes

See “Our Critical Accounting Policies” on the adoption of fair value accounting for stock options. There are no recently issued accounting standards that we have not yet adopted that are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Consolidated Review

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.

Servings

Since our divisions each use different measures of physical unit volume (i.e., kilos, 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.

Total servings increased 5% in 2003 compared to 2002 as servings for snacks worldwide and beverages worldwide each grew 5%. PI, PBNA and FLNA contributed to the total servings growth. Total servings increased 4% in 2002 compared to 2001 primarily due to contributions across our divisions, led by beverage growth.

2003

Net revenue increased 7%. Division net revenue increased 8%, primarily due to the strong volume which contributed 4 percentage points of growth. Favorable product and country mix, as well as North American snack and concentrate price increases, contributed over 2 percentage points to the growth. Favorable foreign currency movements contributed nearly 1 percentage point to the net revenue growth.

Total operating profit increased 11% and margin increased 0.6 percentage points. Division operating profit increased 10% and division margin increased 0.4 percentage points. These gains were driven by the strong volume and higher effective net pricing. Cost of sales increased 8%, reflecting increased commodity costs, particularly corn oil and natural gas. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 6% driven by higher selling costs primarily reflecting the increased volume and increased fuel costs. Unfavorable foreign currency reduced operating profit growth by nearly 1 percentage point. In addition, total operating profit reflects the benefit from lower merger-related costs, offset by the 2003 impairment and restructuring charges of $147 million.

2002

Net revenue increased 7%. Division net revenue increased 4% driven by volume gains across all divisions, higher concentrate pricing and favorable mix. These gains were partially offset by increased promotional spending at PepsiCo Beverages North America and Frito-Lay North America, and net unfavorable foreign currency movement. The consolidation of SVE increased total net revenue growth by 3 percentage points, and net unfavorable foreign currency reduced the growth by 1 percentage point.

Total operating profit increased 18% and margin increased 1.6 percentage points. Division operating profit increased 11% and margin increased 1.3 percentage points. These gains were driven by the net revenue growth. In addition, total operating profit benefited from Quaker merger-related synergies of approximately $250 million, lower merger-related costs and productivity. Total operating profit growth improved 6 percentage points from the impact of lower merger-related costs, the absence of other impairment and restructuring costs and the adoption of SFAS 142. Operating profit growth was not materially affected by foreign currency movements.

Corporate Unallocated Expenses

Corporate unallocated expenses include the costs of our corporate headquarters, centrally managed initiatives, unallocated insurance and benefit programs, foreign exchange transactions gains and losses and certain other items. In the fourth quarter, we voluntarily elected to expense stock options. As a result, corporate unallocated expenses also include stock compensation expense of $407 million in 2003, $435 million in 2002 and $385 million in 2001.

For 2003, corporate unallocated expenses increased 5% primarily reflecting our 2003 investment in the Business Process Transformation initiative as discussed in “Our President and CFO Perspective.” Higher employee-related costs, including deferred compensation, and corporate departmental costs also contributed to the increase. The increase in the deferred compensation costs is partially offset in net interest expense as described below. Corporate departmental expenses increased 5% reflecting staffing and other costs related to our health and wellness initiatives.

For 2002, corporate unallocated expenses increased 7% due to higher employee-related expenses partially offset by lower net foreign exchange transaction losses. Corporate departmental expenses declined 2%.

Bottling equity income includes our share of the net income or loss of our noncontrolled bottling affiliates as described in “Our Customers.” Our interest in these bottling investments may change from time to time. Any gains or losses from these changes, as well as other transactions related to our bottling investments, are also included on a pre-tax basis.

2003

Bottling equity income increased 16%. This increase primarily reflects a favorable comparison to the impairment charge taken in 2002 on a Latin American bottling investment, and increased earnings from The Pepsi Bottling Group and PepsiAmericas in 2003.

Net interest expense declined 21% primarily due to a gain of $22 million on investments used to economically hedge a portion of our deferred compensation liability versus losses of $18 million in the prior year. The offsetting increase in deferred compensation costs is reported in corporate unallocated expenses within selling, general and administrative expenses. This net gain was partially offset by lower investment rates.

The annual tax rate decreased 3.8 percentage points compared to the prior year. At the end of 2003, we entered into agreements with the IRS. These agreements resulted in a tax benefit of $109 million, reducing our tax rate by over 2 percentage points. The resolution of certain issues is also expected to lower our future tax rate. Lower taxes on foreign results, including the impact of our new concentrate operations, also reduced our tax rate by nearly 2 percentage points. The impact of lower nondeductible merger-related costs contributed 0.9 percentage points to the decrease.

Net income increased 19% and the related net income per common share increased 22%. These increases primarily reflect the solid operating profit growth, our lower annual tax rate and increased bottling equity income. The benefit of lower merger-related costs was largely offset by the impairment and restructuring charges. Net income per common share also reflects the benefit of a reduction in average shares outstanding primarily as a result of share buyback activity.

2002

Bottling equity income increased 75%. This increase primarily reflects the adoption of SFAS 142, improved performance of our international bottling investments, and contributions from our North American anchor bottlers. The impact of impairment charges of $35 million relating to a Latin American bottling investment was more than offset by the settlement of issues upon the sale of our investment in Pepsi-Gemex, our Mexican bottling affiliate, and the absence of 2001 unusual items.

Net interest expense declined 6% primarily due to lower average debt levels, partially offset by increased losses of $10 million on investments used to economically hedge a portion of our deferred compensation liability. Decreases in borrowing rates were offset by decreases in investment rates.

The annual tax rate decreased 1.8 percentage points compared to prior year. The adoption of SFAS 142 reduced the rate by 0.9 percentage points. The impact of nondeductible merger-related costs decreased from 2.5 percentage points in 2001 to 1.0 percentage point in 2002.

Net income increased 25% and the related net income per common share increased 27%. These increases primarily reflect the solid operating profit growth, lower merger-related costs and the adoption of SFAS 142. Net income per common share also reflects the benefit of a reduction in average shares outstanding primarily as a result of increased share buyback activity.

Division Review

The results and discussions below are based on how our Chief Executive Officer monitors the performance of our divisions. Prior year amounts exclude the results of divested businesses and 2001 reflects the adoption of SFAS 142 and consolidation of SVE.

2003

Net revenue growth of 6% reflects volume growth of 4% and positive effective net pricing. Pound volume grew primarily due to new products, double-digit growth in Cheetos, Munchies snack mix and Quaker Chewy Granola bars, and single-digit growth in branded dips and Doritos. Quaker Toastables, Lay’s Stax and the Natural snack line led the new product growth. These gains were partially offset by double-digit declines in Rold Gold, Lay’s Bistro, and Go Snacks. Collectively, the higher priced better-for-you products, with less fat, fewer calories or lower sodium, generated over 10% of the 2003 and 2002 volume. Modest pricing actions on certain salty snacks and favorable mix led the positive effective net pricing. These gains were partially offset by higher trade spending on product innovation.

Operating profit growth of 7% reflects the volume growth and positive effective net pricing. These gains were partially offset by increased commodity costs, particularly corn oil and natural gas. Increased commodity costs reduced operating profit growth by 3 percentage points, more than offsetting the cost leverage generated from productivity initiatives.

2002

Net revenue growth of 4% reflects the increased volume of 4%. Pound volume grew primarily due to new products, strong growth in branded snack mix, single-digit growth in Cheetos cheese flavored snacks, Doritos tortilla chips, branded dips and Quaker Chewy Granola bars, and double-digit growth in Rold Gold pretzels. Go Snacks significantly contributed to the new product growth and Munchies drove the branded snack mix growth. These gains were partially offset by a single-digit decline in Ruffles potato chips. Approximately half of the net revenue growth came from new products. Increased promotional spending more than offset favorable mix and other pricing.

Operating profit growth of 8% reflects the increased volume, as well as reduced costs. Lower performance-based compensation and lower commodity prices for vegetable oils and natural gas contributed 4 percentage points of the operating profit growth.

2003

Net revenue increased 7% on volume growth of 3%. The volume growth reflects non-carbonated growth of 8% and carbonated beverage growth of 1.5%. Double-digit growth in Gatorade, Aquafina and Propel drove the non-carbonated portfolio. Tropicana chilled products growth was low single-digit. The carbonated beverage performance reflects the national launch of Sierra Mist and high single-digit growth in diet carbonated beverages, primarily Diet Pepsi. Declines in trademark Pepsi, excluding diet, partially offset this carbonated beverage growth. Higher effective net pricing contributed 4 percentage points to the net revenue growth. The higher effective net pricing reflects a favorable product mix shift to the higher priced non-carbonated beverages, and fountain and concentrate price increases, partially offset by increased promotional spending. The price increases contributed 1 percentage point to the net revenue growth.

Operating profit increased 13 percentage points reflecting the higher effective net pricing, volume gains and purchasing efficiencies. These gains were partially offset by increased advertising and marketing expenses. The higher effective net pricing contributed 8 percentage points to the operating profit growth with product mix contributing 6 percentage points.

2002

Net revenue increased 5% on volume growth of 3%. The volume growth reflects non-carbonated growth of 10% and flat carbonated beverage performance. Double-digit growth in Gatorade and Aquafina, the national launch of Propel fitness water and the introduction of Lipton Brisk Lemonade drove the non-carbonated portfolio. Tropicana chilled products declined compared to prior year as a result of the loss of the single serve pure premium business at Burger King. The carbonated beverage performance reflects continued growth in Pepsi Twist, Code Red and Sierra Mist and the introduction of Pepsi Blue. Declines in base Pepsi and base Mountain Dew partially offset this carbonated beverage growth. Higher effective net pricing contributed 2 percentage points to the net revenue growth. The higher effective net pricing reflects a favorable product mix shift to the higher priced non-carbonated beverages, and fountain and concentrate price increases, partially offset by increased promotional spending.

Operating profit increased 8% reflecting the volume gains, higher concentrate pricing and favorable product mix. These gains were partially offset by increased promotional spending, costs associated with litigation, increased inventory costs and increased advertising and marketing expenses related to our new products.

2003

International snacks volume grew 6%, comprised of 3% in our Latin America region, 10% in our Europe, Middle East and Africa region and 16% in our Asia region. These gains were driven by double-digit growth from Walkers in the United Kingdom, India, Turkey and Russia, and low single-digit growth at Sabritas in Mexico. Mid single-digit sweet growth was led by Gamesa in Mexico.

Beverage volume grew 8%, comprised of 8% in our Latin America region, 6% in our Europe, Middle East and Africa region and 11% in our Asia region. Broad-based increases were led by double-digit growth in the Middle East, China, Brazil, India, Russia and Thailand and mid single-digit growth in Mexico. Volume gains in India driven by competitive pricing actions were offset by double-digit declines in Germany due to the new one-way bottle deposit requirement imposed by the government.

Net revenue grew 12% driven by higher volume across most markets. Acquisitions contributed nearly 2 percentage points of growth and favorable foreign currency contributed 1 percentage point as the favorable euro and British pound substantially offset the unfavorable Mexican peso. These gains were partially offset by the impact of the German one-way beverage deposits and competitive beverage pricing actions in India.

Operating profit grew 14% largely due to the drivers of net revenue growth. Acquisitions contributed almost 2 percentage points of growth. Unfavorable foreign currency reduced operating profit by nearly 6 percentage points due to the impact of the peso on our Mexican snack businesses. In addition, operating profits were reduced by over 2 percentage points due to reserve actions taken on potentially unrecoverable beverage assets.

2002

International snacks volume grew 5%, comprised of 5% in our Latin America region, 7% in our Europe, Middle East and Africa region and 6% in our Asia region, led by low single-digit salty growth and strong single-digit sweet growth. Single-digit growth at Walkers and Sabritas contributed over 70% of the salty volume growth. Strong single-digit growth at Gamesa contributed nearly 80% of the sweet growth and the introduction of Chipita croissants in Russia contributed the remainder.

Beverage volume grew 5%, comprised of 2% in our Latin America region, 5% in our Europe, Middle East and Africa region and 11% in our Asia region. Broad-based increases were led by strong double-digit growth in China, India, Turkey and Russia. These advances were partially offset by declines in Argentina driven by macroeconomic conditions.

Net revenue grew 3% driven by volume and higher effective net pricing in Brazil and Argentina. Walkers and Gamesa together contributed over half of the net revenue growth. Unfavorable foreign currency reduced net revenue growth by 3 percentage points as unfavorable Latin American and Egyptian currencies more than offset the favorable euro and British pound.

Operating profit grew 21% driven by volume growth, with Walkers and Gamesa together contributing nearly one-third of the growth. These gains were partially offset by the impact of unfavorable foreign currencies. The franchising of the Gatorade business in certain countries increased operating profit growth by 3 percentage points. Unfavorable foreign currency reduced operating profit growth by 2 percentage points as unfavorable Latin American and Egyptian currencies more than offset the favorable euro and British pound.

2003

Net revenue and volume were flat compared to prior year as the national launch of Breakfast Squares and Canadian Oatmeal to Go growth were offset by declines in Rice and Pasta Roni side dishes and in our hot cereal business. A favorable Canadian exchange rate, which contributed 1 percentage point to net revenue growth, and ready-to-eat price increases, were offset by unfavorable product mix and increased promotional spending related to the Breakfast Squares launch.

Operating profit grew 3% compared to prior year. Lower advertising and marketing spending and favorable cost of sales comparisons each contributed 4 percentage points to operating profit growth. These gains were partially offset by an unfavorable product mix, which reduced operating profit growth by 6 percentage points. The unfavorable product mix reflects declines in higher margin products.

2002

Net revenue and volume increased 2%. Hot cereals and ready-to-eat cereals each contributed 1 percentage point of volume growth driven by new product introductions and product news.

Operating profit increased 22% reflecting the increased volume. In addition, the benefit of productivity, merger-related synergies and lower advertising and marketing expense, partially offset by higher oat prices, contributed more than 15 percentage points of the operating profit growth.

OUR LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our strong cash-generating capability and financial condition give us ready access to capital markets throughout the world. Our principal source of liquidity is operating cash flows, which are derived from net income. This cash-generating capability is one of our fundamental strengths and provides us with substantial financial flexibility in meeting operating, investing and financing needs. In addition, we have revolving credit facilities that are further discussed inNote 9 to our consolidated financial statements.

Operating Activities

In 2003, our operations provided $4.3 billion of cash reflecting our solid business results, net of pension plan contributions of $535 million of which $500 million was discretionary, and a $250 million tax payment related to our IRS agreements. In 2002, net cash provided by operating activities of $4.6 billion reflected our business results, pension plan contributions of $820 million of which $750 million was discretionary, and a net tax refund of approximately $250 million related to prior years. The year-over-year decline in cash flows from operations is primarily attributable to the higher net tax payments, partially offset by lower pension contributions in 2003.

In the first half of 2004, we will make an additional tax payment of approximately $750 million as a result of the IRS agreements. A portion of this payment represents deductible interest, which will lower our estimated tax payments during the second half 2004 by a total of approximately $150 million. Due to the tax payment and the current market environment, we expect to issue medium-term debt of up to $500 million in the first half of 2004. We estimate our 2004 discretionary pension contributions will be approximately $400 million.

Investing Activities

In 2003, we used $2.3 billion for investing, primarily reflecting capital spending of $1.3 billion and short-term investments of $1.0 billion. In 2002, we used $0.5 billion for investing, primarily reflecting capital spending of $1.4 billion and the acquisition of the Wotsits brand in the United Kingdom, partially offset by short-term investment maturities and proceeds from the Pepsi-Gemex transaction.

We expect capital spending to continue at a rate of approximately 5% to 5.5% of net revenue in 2004.

Financing Activities

In 2003, we used $2.9 billion for financing, primarily reflecting share repurchases at a cost of $1.9 billion and dividend payments of $1.1 billion. This compares to $3.2 billion used for financing in 2002 for share repurchases of $2.2 billion and dividend payments of $1.0 billion.

In 2002, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $5 billion over a three-year period. Since inception of the program, we have repurchased $4.1 billion of shares, leaving $0.9 billion of remaining authorization. Our current dividend policy is to pay approximately one-third of our previous year’s net income in dividends. Each spring we review our capital structure with our Board. Our discussion covers our dividend policy and share repurchase activity.

Management Operating Cash Flow

We focus on management operating cash flow as a key element in achieving maximum shareholder value and it is the primary measure we use to monitor cash flow performance. However, it is not a measure provided by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. 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. The table below reconciles the net cash provided by operating activities as reflected in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows to our management operating cash flow.

Management operating cash flow was used primarily to repurchase shares and pay dividends. We expect management operating cash flow in 2004 to grow by 10% or more reflecting our underlying business growth. We currently expect to continue to return approximately all our management operating cash flows to our shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. However, see “Cautionary Statements” for certain factors that may impact our operating cash flows.

Credit Ratings

Our debt ratings of Aa3 from Moody’s and A+ from Standard & Poor’s contribute to our ability to access global capital markets. We have maintained healthy investment grade ratings for over a decade. Standard & Poor’s rating reflects an upgrade from A to A+ during 2003 and Moody’s rating reflects an upgrade from A1 to Aa3 in 2004 due to the strength of our balance sheet and cash flows. Each rating is considered strong investment grade and is in the first quartile of their respective ranking systems. These ratings also reflect the impact of our anchor bottlers’ cash flows and debt.

Credit Facilities and Long-Term Contractual Commitments

SeeNote 9 to our consolidated financial statements for a description of our credit facilities and long-term contractual commitments.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

It is not our business practice to enter into off-balance sheet arrangements nor is it our policy to issue guarantees to our bottlers, noncontrolled affiliates or third parties. However, certain guarantees were necessary to facilitate the separation of our bottling and restaurant operations from us. As of year-end 2003, we believe it is remote that these guarantees would require any cash payment. SeeNote 9 to our consolidated financial statements for a description of our off-balance sheet arrangements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation and Our Divisions

Basis of Presentation

Our financial statements include the consolidated accounts of PepsiCo, Inc. and the affiliates that we control. In addition, we include our share of the results of certain other affiliates based on our ownership interest. We do not control these other affiliates, as our ownership in these other affiliates is generally less than fifty percent. Our share of the net income of noncontrolled bottling affiliates is reported in our income statement as bottling equity income. SeeNote 8 for additional information on our noncontrolled bottling affiliates. Our share of other noncontrolled affiliates is included in division operating profit. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated.

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Impairment and restructuring charges and merger-related costs (described inNote 3), the net tax benefit (described inNote 5), the adoption of SFAS 142 (described inNote 4) and the consolidation of Snack Ventures Europe (SVE) affect the comparability of our consolidated results. See “Our Divisions” below and for additional unaudited information on these items, see “Items Affecting Comparability” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Tabular dollars are in millions, except per share amounts. All per share amounts reflect common per share amounts, assume dilution unless noted, and are based on unrounded amounts. Certain reclassifications were made to prior year amounts to conform to the 2003 presentation.

Our Divisions

We manufacture or use contract manufacturers, market and sell a variety of salty, sweet and grain-based snacks, carbonated and non-carbonated beverages, and foods through our North American and international business divisions. Our North American divisions include the United States and Canada. The accounting policies for the divisions are the same as those described inNote 2.

Division results are based on how our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer manages our divisions. Beginning in 2003, we combined our North American beverage businesses as PepsiCo Beverages North America and our international snack, beverage and food businesses as PepsiCo International to reflect operating management changes. Prior year results have been restated to reflect this change. In addition, division results exclude significant restructuring and impairment charges, merger-related costs and divested businesses and have been adjusted to reflect the adoption of SFAS 142 and consolidation of SVE. For additional unaudited information on our divisions, see “Our Operations” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Divested BusinessesDuring 2003, we sold our Quaker Foods North America Mission pasta business. As a result, net revenue of $27 million in 2002 and $29 million in 2001 and operating profit of $8 million in 2002 and $10 million in 2001 have been reclassified to divested businesses. During 2002, we sold our Quaker Foods North America bagged cereal business and our PepsiCo International food businesses in Colombia and Venezuela.

Corporate Corporate includes costs of our corporate headquarters, centrally managed initiatives, unallocated insurance and benefit programs, foreign exchange transaction gains and losses and certain other charges. We voluntarily elected to expense stock options and, as a result, corporate unallocated expenses also reflect stock compensation expense for all years presented. SeeNote 6, and for additional unaudited information, see “Our Critical Accounting Policies” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Impairment and Restructuring Charges and Merger-Related Costs – SeeNote 3.

The following items are necessary to reconcile division results to consolidated results since, as noted above, division results are presented as managed.

SVE Consolidation As a result of changes in the operations of our European snack joint venture (SVE), we determined that effective in 2002, consolidation was required.

SFAS 142 Adoption In 2002, we adopted SFAS 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which eliminated amortization of goodwill and perpetual brands, and resulted in an acceleration of the amortization of certain of our other intangibles. SeeNote 4 for additional information, and the after-tax impact.

Note 2 — Our Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue upon delivery to our customers in accordance with written sales terms that do not allow for a right of return. However, our policy for direct-store-delivery and chilled products is to remove and replace out-of-date products from store shelves to ensure that our consumers receive the product quality and freshness that they expect. Similarly, our policy for warehouse distributed products is to replace damaged and out-of-date products. Based on our historical experience with this practice, we have reserved for anticipated damaged and out-of-date product. For additional unaudited information on our revenue recognition and related policies, including our policy on bad debts, see “Our Critical Accounting Policies” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis. We are exposed to concentration of credit risk by our customers, PBG and Wal-Mart, as each represent approximately 10% of our net revenue. We have not experienced credit issues with these customers.

Sales Incentives and Other Marketplace Spending

We offer sales incentives through various programs to our customers and consumers. Sales incentives are accounted for as a reduction to revenue and totaled $6.0 billion in 2003, $5.5 billion in 2002 and $4.7 billion in 2001. Most of these incentive arrangements have terms of no more than one year. However, we have arrangements, such as fountain

pouring rights, which may extend up to 15 years. Costs incurred to obtain these arrangements are expensed over the contract period and the remaining balance of $359 million at December 27, 2003 and $349 million at December 28, 2002 is included in other assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. For additional unaudited information on our sales incentives, see “Our Critical Accounting Policies” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Other marketplace spending includes the costs of advertising and other marketing activities and is reported as selling, general and administrative expenses. Advertising expenses were $1.6 billion in 2003, $1.5 billion in 2002 and $1.7 billion in 2001. Deferred advertising costs are not expensed until the year first used and consist of:

media and personal service prepayments,

promotional materials in inventory, and

production costs of future media advertising.

Deferred advertising costs of $137 million at year-end 2003 and $147 million at year-end 2002 are classified as prepaid expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Distribution Costs

Distribution costs, including the costs of shipping and handling activities, are reported as selling, general and administrative expenses for direct-store-delivery distribution systems. For our other distribution systems, these costs are reported in cost of sales. Shipping and handling expenses classified as selling, general and administrative expenses were $3.0 billion in 2003, $2.8 billion in 2002 and $2.6 billion in 2001.

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents are investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Commitments and Contingencies

We are subject to various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, taxes and environmental matters, as well as commitments under contractual and other commercial obligations. We recognize liabilities for contingencies and commitments when a loss is probable and estimable. For additional information on our commitments, seeNote 9.

 

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue upon delivery to our customers in accordance with written sales terms that do not allow for a right of return. However, our policy for direct-store-delivery and chilled products is to remove and replace out-of-date products from store shelves to ensure that our consumers receive the product quality and freshness that they expect. Based on our historical experience with this practice, we have reserved for anticipated out-of-date product. For additional unaudited information on our revenue recognition and related policies, see “Our Critical Accounting Policies” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Sales Incentives and Other Marketplace Spending

We offer sales incentives through various programs to our customers, consumers and, for PCNA, directly to certain retailers. Sales incentives are accounted for as a reduction to sales and totaled $5.5 billion in 2002, $4.7 billion in 2001 and $4.3 billion in 2000. These sales incentives include the impact of adopting EITF 01-9,Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer or a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products, which reduced

our net sales by $3.4 billion in 2001 and $3.1 billion in 2000, with selling, general and administrative expenses reduced by the same amounts. Most of these incentive arrangements have terms of no more than one year. However, we have arrangements, such as fountain pouring rights, which extend up to twelve years. Costs incurred to obtain these rights are expensed over the contract period and the remaining balance of $349 million at December 28, 2002 and $374 million at December 29, 2001 is primarily reported in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. For additional unaudited information on our sales incentives, see “Our Critical Accounting Policies” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Other marketplace spending includes the costs of advertising and other marketing activities and is reported as selling, general and administrative expenses. Advertising expenses were $1.5 billion in 2002 and $1.7 billion in 2001 and 2000. Deferred advertising costs are not expensed until the year first used and consist of:

media and personal service prepayments,
promotional materials in inventory, and
production costs of future media advertising.

Deferred advertising costs of $147 million at year-end 2002 and $111 million at year-end 2001 are classified as prepaid expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Distribution Costs

Distribution costs, including the costs of shipping and handling activities, are reported as selling, general and administrative expenses for direct-store-delivery distribution systems. For our other distribution systems, these costs are reported in cost of sales. Shipping and handling expenses classified as selling, general and administrative expenses were $2.8 billion in 2002, $2.6 billion in 2001 and $2.5 billion in 2000.

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents are investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Commitments and Contingencies

We are subject to various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, taxes and environmental matters, as well as commitments under contractual and other commercial obligations. We recognize liabilities for contingencies and commitments when a loss is probable and estimable. For additional information on our commitments and other contractual and commercial obligations, seeNote 9.

Pending Accounting ChangesIncome Taxes

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 143,Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS 143 addresses the financial accountingNote 5 and, reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets. It requires that we recognize the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. We currently have no significant asset retirement obligations, and therefore, adoption will have no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 146,Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.SFAS 146 addresses the accounting and reporting for costs associated with restructuring activities. This new standard changes the timing of the recognition of restructuring charges. Liabilities for restructuring costs will be required to be recognized when the liability is incurred rather than when we commit to the plan. SFAS 146 is effective for restructuring activity initiated after December 31, 2002.

Note 3 – Our Merger with Quaker

On August 2, 2001, we completed our merger with Quaker. Under the terms of the merger agreement, we issued approximately 306 million shares of our common stock in exchange for all the outstanding common stock of Quaker.

The merger was accounted for as a tax-free transaction and as a pooling-of-interests. As a result, all prior period consolidated financial statements presented have been restated to include the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of both companies as if they had always been combined. Certain reclassifications were made to conform the presentation of the financial statements, and the fiscal calendar and certain interim reporting policies were also conformed. There were no material transactions between pre-merger PepsiCo and Quaker.

We have recognized the following costs associated with our merger with Quaker:

Transaction costs were incurred to complete the merger and consist primarily of fees and expenses for investment bankers, attorneys and accountants, SEC filing fees, stock exchange listing fees and financial printing and other related charges.

Integration and restructuring costs represent incremental one-time merger-related costs. Such costs include consulting fees and expenses, employee-related costs, information system integration costs, asset impairments and other costs related to the integration of Quaker. Employee-related costs include retirement benefit and severance costs and expenses related to change-in-control provisions of pre-merger employment contracts. As of December 28, 2002, an accrual has been recorded for costs associated with the termination of approximately 1,100 corporate, sales, distribution, manufacturing, research, information technology and marketing employees, a majority of which have occurred. We expect to incur additional costs in 2003 to integrate the two companies.

Merger-related integration and restructuring reserves are included within accounts payable and other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Depreciation and amortization are recognized on a straight-line basis over an asset’s estimated useful life. Land is not depreciated and construction in progress is not depreciated until ready for service. Amortization for each of the next five years, based on existing intangible assets and 2002 foreign exchange rates, is expected to be $138 million in 2003, $129 million in 2004 and 2005 and $19 million thereafter.

No impairment charges resulted from the adoption of SFAS 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Depreciable and amortizable assets are only evaluated for impairment upon a significant change in the operating or macroeconomic environment. In these circumstances, if an evaluation of the undiscounted cash flows indicates impairment, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value, which is generally based on discounted future cash flows. Useful lives are periodically evaluated to determine whether events or circumstances have occurred which indicate the need to revise the useful lives. For additional unaudited information, on our amortizable brand policies, see “Our Critical Accounting Policies” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Nonamortizable Intangible AssetsStock Compensation Expense

Perpetual brandsNote 6 and, goodwill are assessed for impairment at least annually to ensure that future cash flows continue to exceed the related book value. A perpetual brand is impaired if its book value exceeds its fair value. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment if the book value of its reporting unit

exceeds its fair value. A reporting unit can be a division or business. If the fair value of an evaluated asset is less than its book value, the asset is written down based on its discounted future cash flows to fair value. No impairment charges resulted from the required impairment evaluations in 2002. The change in the book value of nonamortizable intangible assets during 2002 is as follows:

Operating loss carryforwards totaling $3.3 billion at year-end 2002 are being carried forward in a number of foreign7 and, state jurisdictions where we are permitted to use tax operating losses from prior periods to reduce future taxable income. These operating losses will expire as follows: $0.1 billion in 2003, $2.9 billion between 2004 and 2018 and $0.3 billion may be carried forward indefinitely. In addition, certain tax credits generated in prior periods of approximately $72 million are available to reduce certain foreign tax liabilities through 2011. We establish valuation allowances for our deferred tax assets when the amount of expected future taxable income is not likely to support the use of the deduction or credit.

We have not recognized any United States tax expense on undistributed international earnings since we have the intention to reinvest the earnings outside the United States for the foreseeable future. These undistributed earnings are approximately $7.5 billion at December 28, 2002.

Risk ManagementNote 6 – Pension10 and, Retiree Medical Plans

Our pension plans cover full-time U.S. employees and certain international employees. Benefits are determined based on either years of service or a combination of years of service and earnings. U.S. employees are also eligible for medical and life insurance benefits (retiree medical) if they meet age and service requirements and qualify for retirement benefits. We use a September 30 measurement date. Prior service costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of employees expected to receive benefits.

For additional unaudited information, on our pension and retiree medical plans and related accounting policies and assumptions, see “Our Critical Accounting PoliciesMarket Risks” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Recent Accounting Changes

As further discussed inNote 6, we voluntarily adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock options at the end of 2003. We selected the retroactive method as described in SFAS 148,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure, to adopt this accounting and restated our results.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46),Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. This interpretation requires consolidation of existing noncontrolled affiliates if the affiliate is unable to finance its operations without investor support, or where the other investors do not have exposure to the significant risks and rewards of ownership. We do not expect our significant noncontrolled affiliates to require consolidation under FIN 46. The Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued EITF 01-8,Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease. EITF 01-8 did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.

Note 3 — Impairment and Restructuring Charges and Merger-Related Costs

Impairment and Restructuring Charges

In the fourth quarter of 2003, we incurred a charge of $147 million ($100 million after-tax or $0.06 per share) in conjunction with actions taken to streamline our North American divisions and PepsiCo International. These actions are intended to increase focus and eliminate redundancies at PBNA and PI, and improve the efficiency of the supply chain at FLNA. Of this charge, $81 million related to impairment, reflecting $57 million for the closure of a snack plant in Kentucky, the retirement of snack manufacturing lines in Maryland and Arkansas and $24 million for the closure of a PBNA office building in Florida. The remaining $66 million includes employee-related costs of $54 million and facility and other exit costs of $12 million. Employee-related costs primarily reflect the termination costs for approximately 850 sales, distribution, manufacturing, research and marketing employees. As of December 27, 2003, approximately 140 terminations have occurred. The majority of the remaining terminations are expected to occur in the first quarter of 2004. Through December 27, 2003, we have paid $9 million leaving a remaining accrual of $57 million. This accrual is included in other current liabilities.

In 2001, we incurred other impairment and restructuring costs for Quaker’s supply chain reconfiguration and manufacturing and distribution optimization project initiated in 1999.

Merger-Related Costs

On August 2, 2001, we completed our merger with Quaker and accounted for it as a pooling-of-interests. We recognized the following costs associated with our merger with Quaker:

Transaction costs were incurred to complete the merger. Integration and restructuring costs represent incremental one-time merger-related costs. Such costs include consulting fees and expenses, employee-related costs, information system integration costs, asset impairments and other costs related to the integration of Quaker. Employee-related costs include retirement and other benefits, severance costs and expenses related to change-in-control provisions of pre-merger employment contracts.

Pension Assets

Pension assets include approximately 5.5 million shares of PepsiCo common stock with a market value of $202 million in 2002, and 4.7 million shares with a market value of $227 million in 2001. Our investment policy limits the investment in PepsiCo stock to 10% of the fair value of plan assets.

Retiree Medical Cost Trend Rates

An average increase of 10% in the cost of covered retiree medical benefits is assumed for 2003. This average increase is then projected to decline gradually to 4.5% in 2007 and thereafter. Generally, our costs are capped at a specified dollar amount, with retirees contributing the remainder. These assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant impact on the retiree medical plan expense and liability. A 1 percentage point change in the assumed health care trend rate would have the following effects:

Operating loss carryforwards totaling $3.5 billion at year-end 2003 are being carried forward in a number of foreign and state jurisdictions where we are permitted to use tax operating losses from prior periods to reduce future taxable income. These operating losses will expire as follows: $0.2 billion in 2004, $2.8 billion between 2005 and 2023 and $0.5 billion may be carried forward indefinitely. In addition, certain tax credits generated in prior periods of approximately $74 million are available to reduce certain foreign tax liabilities through 2011. We establish valuation allowances for our deferred tax assets when the amount of expected future taxable income is not likely to support the use of the deduction or credit.

We have not recognized any United States tax expense on undistributed international earnings since we have the intention to reinvest the earnings outside the United States for the foreseeable future. These undistributed earnings are approximately $8.8 billion at December 27, 2003.

Note 6 — Stock Compensation

Our stock option program is a broad-based program designed to attract and retain employees while also aligning employees’ interests with the interests of our shareholders. Employees at all levels participate in our stock option program. In addition, members of our Board of Directors receive stock options and restricted stock units for their service on our Board. Stock options are granted to employees under the 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP), our only active plan. At year-end 2003, 72 million shares were available for future executive and SharePower grants. For additional unaudited information on our stock option program, see “Our Critical Accounting Policies” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

SharePower Grants

SharePower options are awarded under our 2003 LTIP to all eligible employees. Options become exercisable after three years, have a 10-year term, and through 2003, were based on annual earnings and tenure. In 2003, SharePower grants represented approximately 23% of our annual employee option grants.

Executive Grants

All senior management and certain middle management are awarded 2003 LTIP executive grants which, through 2003, were generally based on a multiple of base salary. LTIP executive grants generally become exercisable at the end of three years and have a 10-year term.

Fair Value Method of Accounting

Historically, we have accounted for our employee stock options using the intrinsic value method. This method measures stock compensation expense as the amount by which the market price of the stock exceeds the exercise price on the date of grant. We did not recognize any stock compensation expense under this method because we grant our stock options at the current stock price. At the end of 2003, we voluntarily adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock options. We selected the retroactive restatement method as described in SFAS 148,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure, to adopt this accounting. Under this method, we have restated our 2003, 2002 and 2001 results to recognize stock compensation expense as if we had always applied the fair value method to account for our unvested stock options in the years presented. The impact of the restatement is as follows:

SharePower Stock Option Plan (SharePower)

SharePower options are awarded to all eligible employees based on annual earnings and tenure, become exercisable after three years and have a 10-year term. SharePower options represent approximately 20% of our annual employee option grants. At year-end 2002, 35.1 million shares were available for future awards under SharePower.

Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP)

All senior management and certain middle management are awarded LTIP grants, generally based on a multiple of base salary. LTIP options generally become exercisable at the end of three years and have a 10-year term. Beginning in 2001, the entire award was made in stock options. Prior to 2001, two-thirds of the award consisted of stock options with the balance in stock options or paid in cash based on the employee’s selection. Amounts expensed for expected cash payments were $18 million in 2002 and $37 million in 2001 and 2000. At year-end 2002, 36.6 million shares were available for future awards under the LTIP.

Stock Option Incentive Plan (SOIP)

SOIP options are available to middle management employees based on a multiple of base salary. SOIP options generally become exercisable at the end of three years and have a 10-year term. At year-end 2002, 29.3 million shares were available for future awards under the SOIP.

Accounting Policy

We account for employee stock options using the intrinsic value method rather than the fair value method. Under the intrinsic value method, compensation expense is measured as the excess, if any, of the market value of PepsiCo common stock at the award date over the amount the employee must pay for the stock (exercise price). Our policy is to award stock options with an exercise price equal to the market value at the date of award, and accordingly, no compensation expense is recognized. If the fair value method of accounting had been used, compensation expense would have been recognized over the vesting period of the awards resulting in lower net income and net income per common share as shown below. We have no current plans to change our intrinsic value accounting.

We believe there are a number of valuation issues with the fair value method that still need to be resolved as well as potential changes necessary to reconcile international and United States standards. Upon resolution of these matters, we will be better able to consider implementation of the fair value method.

Note 7 — Pension, Retiree Medical and Savings Plans

Our pension plans cover full-time employees in the United States and certain international employees. Benefits are determined based on either years of service or a combination of years of service and earnings. U.S. retirees are also eligible for medical and life insurance benefits (retiree medical) if they meet age and service requirements. Generally, our retiree medical costs are capped at a specified dollar amount, with retirees contributing the remainder. We use a September 30 measurement date. The cost or benefit of plan changes which increase or decrease benefits for prior employee service (prior service cost) is included in expense on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of employees expected to receive benefits.

Our 2003 disclosures do not reflect any impact of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the Act) signed into law in December 2003, as it occurred after the measurement date for our plans. For 2004, we will account for the effect of the Act. We expect our 2004 retiree medical costs to be between $5 million and $10 million lower as a result of the Act and expect our liability to be reduced by approximately $50 million. These amounts are based on preliminary estimates that are dependent on interpretative regulations not yet available, and therefore, subject to change.

For additional unaudited information on our pension and retiree medical plans and related accounting policies and assumptions, see “Our Critical Accounting Policies” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Of the total projected pension benefit liability at year-end 2003, $535 million relates to plans that we do not fund because of unfavorable tax treatment.

Our estimated future benefit payments are as follows:

   2004

  2005

  2009-13

Retiree medical

  $75  $80  $85  $90  $95  $515

These benefit payments include payments made from both funded and unfunded pension plans. The above payments exclude any discretionary contributions we may make. We expect such contributions to be approximately $400 million in 2004.

Pension Assets

The expected return on pension plan assets is based on our historical experience, our pension plan investment guidelines, and our expectations for long-term rates of return. Our pension plan investment guidelines are established based upon an evaluation of market conditions, tolerance for risk and cash requirements for benefit payments. Our target allocation for 2004 and actual pension plan asset allocation at year-end 2003 and 2002 are as follows:

Pension assets include approximately 5.5 million shares of PepsiCo common stock with a market value of $251 million in 2003, and 5.5 million shares with a market value of $202 million in 2002. Our investment policy limits the investment in PepsiCo stock at the time of investment to 10% of the fair value of plan assets.

Retiree Medical Cost Trend Rates

An average increase of 12% in the cost of covered retiree medical benefits is assumed for 2004. This average increase is then projected to decline gradually to 5% in 2010 and thereafter. These assumed health care cost trend rates have an impact on the retiree medical plan expense and liability. However, the cap on our share of retiree medical costs limits the impact. A 1 percentage point change in the assumed health care trend rate would have the following effects:

   1%
Increase

Savings Plan

Our U.S. employees are eligible to participate in 401(k) savings plans, which are voluntary defined contribution plans. The plans are designed to provide employees with retirement savings and strengthen their incentive to build shareholder value. Beginning in 2004, we will make matching contributions with PepsiCo stock for a portion of eligible pay based on years of service.

Note 8 — Noncontrolled Bottling Affiliates

Our most significant noncontrolled bottling affiliates are The Pepsi Bottling Group (PBG) and PepsiAmericas (PAS). Approximately 10% of our net revenue reflects sales to PBG.

The Pepsi Bottling Group

In addition to approximately 41% of PBG’s outstanding common stock that we own at year-end 2003, we own 100% of PBG’s class B common stock and approximately 7% of the equity of Bottling Group, LLC, PBG’s principal operating subsidiary. This gives us economic ownership of approximately 45% of PBG’s combined operations. PBG’s summarized financial information is as follows:

In December 2002, PBG acquired Pepsi-Gemex, a franchise bottler in Mexico, in which we previously held a 34% ownership interest. The table above includes the results of Pepsi-Gemex from the transaction date forward.

Our investment in PBG was $240 million higher than our ownership interest in their net assets at year-end 2003. Based upon the quoted closing price of PBG shares at year-end 2003, the calculated market value of our shares in PBG, excluding our investment in Bottling Group, LLC, exceeded our investment balance by approximately $1.6 billion.

Based upon the quoted closing price of PAS shares at year-end 2003, the calculated market value of our shares in PepsiAmericas exceeded our investment balance by approximately $136 million.

Related Party Transactions

Our significant related party transactions involve our noncontrolled bottling affiliates. We sell concentrate to these affiliates that is used in the production of carbonated soft drinks and non-carbonated beverages. The sale of concentrate is reported net of bottler funding. We also sell certain finished goods to these affiliates and we receive royalties for the use of our trademarks for certain products. For further unaudited information on these bottlers, see “Our Customers” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis. These transactions with our bottling affiliates are reflected in our consolidated financial statements as follows:

   2003

  2002

  2001

Net revenue

  $3,699  $3,455  $2,262

Accounts payable and other current liabilities

  $138  $122   

Such amounts are settled on terms consistent with other trade receivables and payables. SeeNote 9 regarding our guarantee of certain PBG debt.

In addition, we coordinate, on an aggregate basis, the negotiation and purchase of sweeteners and other raw materials requirements for certain of our bottlers with suppliers. Once we have negotiated the contracts, the bottlers order and take delivery directly from the supplier and pay the suppliers directly. Consequently, these transactions are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. As the contracting party, we could be liable to these suppliers in the event of any nonpayment by our anchor bottlers, but we consider this exposure to be remote.

The interest rates in the above table reflect weighted average rates.

Short-term borrowings are reclassified to long-term when we have the intent and ability, through the existence of the unused lines of credit, to refinance these borrowings on a long-term basis. At year-end 2003, we maintained $750 million in corporate lines of credit subject to normal banking terms and conditions. These credit facilities support short-term debt issuances and remained unused at year-end 2003. Of the $750 million, $375 million expires in June 2004 with the remaining $375 million expiring in June 2008. Upon consent of PepsiCo and the lenders, these facilities can be extended an additional year. In addition, $395 million of our debt was outstanding on various lines of credit maintained for our international divisions. These lines of credit are subject to normal banking terms and conditions and are committed to the extent of our borrowings.

In December 2002, PBG acquired Pepsi-Gemex, a franchise bottler in Mexico, in which we previously held a 34% ownership interest. Under the terms of the agreement, we received the cash tender price for our Pepsi-Gemex shares, net of a payment of $17 million to PBG. Including the gain from our net investment hedge, the transaction resulted in an after-tax loss of approximately $8 million. The table above includes the results of Pepsi-Gemex from the transaction date forward.

Our investment in PBG was $118 million higher than our ownership interest in their net assets at year-end 2002. Based upon the quoted closing price of PBG shares at year-end 2002, the calculated market value of our shares in PBG, excluding our investment in Bottling Group, LLC, exceeded our investment balance by approximately $1.9 billion.

As of December 28, 2002, the receivables from these bottling affiliates were $126 million and payables to these affiliates were $122 million. As of December 29, 2001, the receivables from these bottling affiliates were $119 million and payables to these affiliates were $108 million. Such amounts are settled on terms consistent with other trade receivables and payables. SeeNote 9 regarding our guarantee of certain PBG debt.

In addition, we coordinate, on an aggregate basis, the negotiation and purchase of sweeteners and other raw materials requirements for certain of our bottlers with suppliers. Once we have negotiated the contracts, the bottlers order and take delivery directly from the supplier and pay the suppliers directly. Consequently, these transactions are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. As the contracting party, we could be liable to these suppliers in the event of any nonpayment by our anchor bottlers, but we consider this exposure to be remote.

Short-term borrowings are reclassified to long-term when we have the intent and ability, through the existence of the unused lines of credit, to refinance these borrowings on a long-term basis. The weighted average interest rates in the above table include the impact of outstanding interest rate swaps at year-end. SeeNote 10 for additional information on our interest rate swaps.

At year-end 2002, we maintained $750 million in corporate lines of credit subject to normal banking terms and conditions. These credit facilities support short-term debt issuances and remained unused at year-end 2002. Of the $750 million, $375 million expires in June 2003 with the remaining $375 million expiring in June 2007. Upon consent of PepsiCo and the lenders, these facilities can be extended an additional year. In addition, $270 million of our debt was outstanding on various lines of credit maintained for our international divisions. These lines of credit are subject to normal banking terms and conditions and are committed to the extent of our borrowings.

Long-term contractual
(c)Includes approximately $50 million of long-term commitments except for our long-term debt obligations,which are not recordedreflected in other liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Non-cancelable purchasing, capital equipment and marketing commitments are in the normal course of our business for our projected needs. Our non-cancelable capital equipment commitments primarily relate to our new concentrate plant in Ireland. As bottler funding is negotiated on an annual basis, these commitments are not reflected in our long-term contractual commitments. SeeNote 8 regarding our commitments to noncontrolled bottling affiliates.

Most long-term contractual commitments, except for our long-term debt obligations, are not recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Non-cancelable purchasing and marketing commitments are in the normal course of our business for our projected needs. As bottler funding is negotiated on an annual basis, these commitments are not reflected in our long-term contractual commitments. SeeNote 7 regarding our pension and retiree medical obligations and discussion below regarding our commitments to noncontrolled bottling affiliates and former restaurant operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

It is not our business practice to enter into off-balance sheet arrangements nor is it our policy to issue guarantees to our bottlers, noncontrolled affiliates or third parties. However, certain guarantees were necessary to facilitate the separation of our bottling and restaurant operations from us. In connection with these transactions, we have guaranteed $2.3 billion of Bottling Group, LLC’s long-term debt through 2012 and $57 million of YUM! Brands, Inc. (YUM) outstanding obligations, primarily property leases. The terms of our Bottling Group, LLC debt guarantee are intended to preserve the structure of PBG’s separation from us and our payment obligation would be triggered if Bottling Group, LLC failed to perform under these debt obligations or the structure significantly changed. Our guarantees of certain obligations ensured YUM’s continued use of certain properties. These guarantees would require our cash payment if YUM failed to perform under these lease obligations.

Note 10 — Risk Management

We are exposed to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in:

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

foreign exchange risks;

stock prices; and

discount rates, affecting the measurement of our pension and retiree medical liabilities.

In the normal course of business, we manage these risks through a variety of strategies, including the use of derivative instruments designated as cash flow and fair value hedges. See “Our Market Risks” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis for further unaudited information on our risks.

For cash flow hedges, changes in fair value are generally deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss within shareholders’ equity until the underlying hedged item is recognized in net income. For fair value hedges, changes in fair value are recognized immediately in earnings, consistent with the underlying hedged item. Hedging transactions are limited to an underlying exposure. As a result, any change in the value of our derivative instruments would be substantially offset by an opposite change in the value of the underlying hedged items. Hedging ineffectiveness and a net earnings impact occur when the change in the value of the hedge does not offset the change in the value of the underlying hedged item. We do not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes and we limit our exposure to individual counterparties to manage credit risk.

Commodity Prices

We are subject to commodity price risk because our ability to recover increased costs through higher pricing may be limited in the competitive environment in which we operate. This risk is managed through the use of fixed-price purchase orders, pricing agreements, geographic diversity and cash flow hedges. We use cash flow hedges, with terms of no more than two years, to hedge price fluctuations related to a portion of our anticipated commodity purchases, primarily for corn, natural gas and oats. Any ineffectiveness is recorded immediately. However, our commodity hedges have not had any significant ineffectiveness. We classify both the earnings and cash flow impact from these hedges consistent with the underlying hedged item. During the next 12 months, we expect to reclassify gains of approximately $1 million from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net income.

Foreign Exchange

Our operations outside of the United States generated approximately 35% of our net revenue of which Mexico, the United Kingdom and Canada contributed nearly 20%. As a result, we are exposed to foreign currency risks from unforeseen economic changes and political unrest. On occasion, we enter into hedges, primarily forward contracts with terms of no more than two years, to reduce the effect of foreign exchange rates. Ineffectiveness on these hedges was not material to our results of operations. In 2002, we hedged 2.1 billion Mexican pesos related to our net investment in Pepsi-Gemex which resulted in a $5 million gain upon our disposal of Pepsi-Gemex described inNote 8.

Stock Prices

The portion of our deferred compensation liability that is based on certain market indexes and on our stock price is subject to market risk. We hold mutual fund investments and prepaid forward contracts to manage this risk. Changes in the fair value of these investments and contracts are recognized immediately in earnings and are offset by changes in the related compensation liability.

Fair Value

All derivative instruments are recognized in our Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value. The fair value of our derivative instruments is generally based on quoted market prices. Book and fair values of our derivative and financial instruments are as follows:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

However, certain guarantees were necessary to facilitate the separation of our bottling and restaurant operations from us. In connection with these transactions, we have guaranteed $2.3 billion of Bottling Group, LLC’s long-term debt through 2012 and $68 million of YUM! Brand’s, Inc. (YUM) outstanding obligations, primarily property leases. The terms of our Bottling Group, LLC debt guarantee are intended to preserve the structure of PBG’s separation from us and our payment obligation would be triggered if Bottling Group, LLC failed to perform under these debt obligations or the structure significantly changed. Our guarantees of certain obligations ensured YUM’s continued use of these properties. These guarantees would require our cash payment if YUM failed to perform under these lease obligations.

Note 10 – Risk Management

We are exposed to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in:

commodity prices, affecting the cost of our raw materials and fuel;
foreign exchange risks;
interest rates on our debt and short-term investment portfolios; and
stock prices.

In the normal course of business, we manage these risks through a variety of strategies, including the use of derivative instruments designated as cash flow and fair value hedges. See “Our Market Risks” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis for further unaudited information on our hedges.

For cash flow hedges, changes in fair value are generally deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss within shareholders’ equity until the underlying hedged item is recognized in net income. For fair value hedges, changes in fair value are recognized immediately in earnings, consistent with the underlying hedged item. Hedging transactions are limited to an underlying exposure. As a result, any change in the value of our derivative instruments would be substantially offset by an opposite change in the value of the underlying hedged items. Hedging ineffectiveness and a net earnings impact occur when the change in the value of the hedge does not offset the change in the value of the underlying hedged item. We do not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes and, to manage credit risk, we limit our exposure to individual counterparties.

Commodity Prices

We are subject to commodity price risk because our ability to recover increased costs through higher pricing may be limited in the competitive environment in which we operate. This risk is managed through the use of fixed-price purchase orders, pricing agreements, geographic diversity and cash flow hedges. We use cash flow hedges, with terms of no more than two years, to hedge price fluctuations in a portion of our anticipated commodity purchases, primarily for corn, natural gas, oats, packaging materials and wheat. Any ineffectiveness is recorded immediately. However, our commodity hedges have not had any material ineffectiveness. We classify both the earnings and cash flow impact from these hedges consistent with the underlying hedged item.

During the next 12 months, we expect to reclassify gains of approximately $4 million from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net income.

Foreign Exchange

Our operations outside of the United States generated 34% of our net sales of which Mexico, the United Kingdom and Canada contributed 19%. As a result, we are exposed to foreign currency risks from unforeseen economic changes and political unrest. On occasion, we enter into fair value hedges, primarily forward contracts, to reduce the effect of foreign exchange rates. Ineffectiveness resulting from our fair value hedges was not material to our results of operations.

In 2002, we hedged 2.1 billion Mexican pesos related to our net investment in Pepsi-Gemex which resulted in a $5 million gain upon our disposal of Pepsi-Gemex described inNote 8.

Interest Rates

We centrally manage our debt and investment portfolios considering investment opportunities and risks, tax consequences and overall financing strategies. We have used interest rate swaps to effectively change the interest rate of specific debt issuances, with the objective of reducing our overall borrowing costs.

Late in 2002, we terminated the majority of our interest rate swaps resulting in a gain of approximately $23 million which will be amortized over the remaining term of the related debt. As a result, 12% of our debt at year-end 2002 is exposed to variable interest rates compared to approximately 45% at year-end 2001.

Stock Prices

The portion of our deferred compensation liability that is based on our stock price is subject to market risk. We hold prepaid forward contracts to manage this risk. Changes in the fair value of these contracts are recognized immediately in earnings and are offset by changes in the related compensation liability.

SeeNote 9 for additional information on our guarantees.

Note 11 — Net Income per Common Share

Basic net income per common share is net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is calculated using the weighted average of common shares outstanding adjusted to include the effect that would occur if in-the-money employee stock options were exercised and preferred shares were converted into common shares. Options to purchase 49.0 million shares in 2003, 37.9 million shares in 2002 and 0.3 million shares in 2001 were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per common share because these options were out-of-the-money.

Note 12 — Preferred and Common Stock

As of December 27, 2003, there were 3.6 billion shares of common stock and 3 million shares of convertible preferred stock authorized. The preferred stock was issued only for an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) established by Quaker and these shares are redeemable by the ESOP participants. The preferred stock accrues dividends at an annual rate of $5.46 per share. At year-end 2003, there were 803,953 preferred shares issued and 531,453 shares outstanding. Each share is convertible at the option of the holder into 4.9625 shares of common stock. The preferred shares may be called by us upon written notice at $78 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends.

As of December 27, 2003, 0.5 million outstanding shares of preferred stock with a fair value of $123 million and 21 million shares of common stock were held in the accounts of ESOP participants. Quaker made the final award to its ESOP plan in June 2001.

Management’s Responsibility for Financial Statements

To Our Shareholders:

Management is responsible for the reliability of the consolidated financial statements and related notes. The financial statements were prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and include amounts based upon our estimates and assumptions, as required. The financial statements have been audited by our independent auditors, KPMG LLP, who were given free access to all financial records and related data, including minutes of the meetings of the Board of Directors and Committees of the Board. We believe that our representations to the independent auditors are valid and appropriate.

Management maintains a system of internal controls designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of the financial statements, as well as to safeguard assets from unauthorized use or disposition. The system is supported by formal policies and procedures, including an active Code of Conduct program intended to ensure employees adhere to the highest standards of personal and professional integrity. Our internal audit function monitors and reports on the adequacy of and compliance with the internal control system, and appropriate actions are taken to address significant control deficiencies and other opportunities for improving the system as they are identified. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors consists solely of directors who are not salaried employees and who are,Wotsits brand in the opinion of the Board of Directors, free from any relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment as a committee member. The Committee meets during the year with representatives of management, including internal auditorsUnited Kingdom for $228 million in 2002 and the independent auditors to review our financial reporting process and our controls to safeguard assets. Both our independent auditors and internal auditors have free access toSoBe brand in the Audit Committee.United States for $337 million in 2001.

Management’s Responsibility for Financial Reporting

To Our Shareholders:

At PepsiCo, our actions – the actions of all our associates – are governed by our Worldwide Code of Conduct. This code is clearly aligned with our stated values – a commitment to sustained growth, through empowered people, operating with responsibility and building trust. Both the code and our core values enable us to operate with integrity – both within the letter and the spirit of the law. Our code of conduct is reinforced consistently at all levels and in all countries. We have maintained strong governance policies and practices for many years.

The management of PepsiCo is responsible for the objectivity and integrity of our consolidated financial statements. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has engaged independent auditors, KPMG LLP, to audit our consolidated financial statements and they have expressed an unqualified opinion. We are committed to providing timely, accurate and understandable information to investors. This encompasses:

Maintaining a strong internal control environment with a focus on financial stewardship. Our system of internal controls includes written policies and procedures, segregation of duties and the careful selection and development of employees. The system is designed to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are executed as authorized and accurately recorded; that assets are safeguarded; and that accounting records are sufficiently reliable to permit the preparation of financial statements that conform in all material respects with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods. We monitor these internal controls through self-assessments and an ongoing program of internal audits. Our internal controls are reinforced through our Worldwide Code of Conduct, which sets forth our commitment to conduct business with integrity, and within both the letter and the spirit of the law.

Exerting rigorous oversight of the business. We continuously review our business results and strategies. This encompasses financial discipline in our strategic and daily business decisions. Our Executive Committee is actively involved – from understanding strategies and alternatives to reviewing key initiatives and financial performance. The intent is to ensure we remain objective in our assessments, constructively challenge our approach to potential business opportunities and issues, and monitor results and controls.

Engaging strong and effective Corporate Governance from our Board of Directors. We have an active, capable and diligent Board that meets the required standards for independence, and we welcome the Board’s oversight as a representative of our shareholders. Our Audit Committee comprises independent directors with the financial knowledge and experience to provide appropriate oversight. We review our critical

accounting policies, financial reporting and internal control matters with them and encourage their direct communication with KPMG LLP, our independent auditors and with our General Auditor.

Providing investors with financial results that are complete, transparent and understandable. The consolidated financial statements and financial information included in this report are the responsibility of management. This includes preparing the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require estimates based on management’s best judgment.

PepsiCo has a strong history of doing what’s right. We realize that great companies are built on trust, strong ethical standards and principles. Our financial results are delivered from that culture of accountability, and we take responsibility for the quality and accuracy of our financial reporting.

Although no cost-effective internal control system will preclude all errors and irregularities, we believe our controls as of December 28, 2002 provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements are reliable and that our assets are reasonably safeguarded.

Independent Auditors’ Report

Board of Directors and Shareholders

PepsiCo, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet of PepsiCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 27, 2003 and December 28, 2002 and the related Consolidated Statements of Income, Cash Flows and Common Shareholders’ Equity for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 27, 2003. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of PepsiCo, Inc.’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PepsiCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 27, 2003 and December 28, 2002, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 27, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, in 2003 PepsiCo, Inc. adopted the fair value method of accounting for employee stock options by retroactively restating all periods presented as described in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure.” Furthermore, as discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, in 2002 PepsiCo, Inc. adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”

PART IV

Item 14.    Control Procedures

We maintain a system of controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of the financial statements and other disclosures included in this report, as well as to safeguard assets from unauthorized use or disposition. The system is supported by formal policies and procedures, including an active Code of Conduct program intended to ensure employees adhere to the highest standards of personal and professional integrity. Our internal audit function monitors and reports on the adequacy of and compliance with the internal control system, and appropriate actions are taken to address significant control deficiencies and other opportunities for improving the system as they are identified. However, no cost-effective internal control system will preclude all errors and irregularities, and management is necessarily required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Also, we have investments in certain unconsolidated entities that we do not control or manage. As we do not control or manage these entities, our disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entities are necessarily more limited than those we maintain with respect to our consolidated subsidiaries.

We evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, within 90 days prior to the filing date of this report. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic Securities and Exchange Commission filings. No significant changes were made to our internal controls or other factors that could significantly effect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
