Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts
Note 1 — Basis of Presentation
The preparation of our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc., as well as the related footnote disclosures. Actual results could differ from these estimates. These interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include certain information and disclosures required for comprehensive annual financial statements. Therefore the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 as presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, this interim information includes all material adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation. Certain reclassifications were made in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to 2005 amounts to conform to the 2006 presentation.
When used in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, “PBG,” “we,” “our,” “us” and the “Company” each refers to The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc. and, where appropriate, to Bottling Group, LLC (“Bottling LLC”), our principal operating subsidiary.
We consolidate in our financial statements, entities in which we have a controlling financial interest, as well as variable interest entities where we are the primary beneficiary.
Our U.S. and Canadian operations report using a fiscal year that consists of fifty-two weeks, ending on the last Saturday in December. Every five or six years a fifty-third week is added. Fiscal year 2006 consists of fifty-two weeks. In 2005, our fiscal year consisted of fifty-three weeks (the additional week was added to the fourth quarter). Our remaining countries report using a calendar-year basis. Accordingly, we recognize our quarterly business results as outlined below:
Quarter | U.S. & Canada | Mexico & Europe | ||
First Quarter | 12 weeks | January and February | ||
Second Quarter | 12 weeks | March, April and May | ||
Third Quarter | 12 weeks | June, July and August | ||
Fourth Quarter | 16 weeks (FY 2006)/ 17 weeks (FY 2005) | September, October, November and December |
At September 9, 2006, PepsiCo, Inc. (“PepsiCo”) owned 89,511,358 shares of our common stock, consisting of 89,411,358 shares of common stock and 100,000 shares of Class B common stock. All shares of Class B common stock that have been authorized have been issued to PepsiCo. At September 9, 2006, PepsiCo owned approximately 37.8% of our outstanding common stock and 100% of our outstanding Class B common stock, together representing 43.8% of the voting power of all classes of our voting stock. In addition, PepsiCo owns approximately 6.7% of the equity of Bottling LLC. We fully consolidate the results of Bottling LLC and present PepsiCo’s share as minority interest in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Note 2 — Seasonality of Business
The results for the third quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year because of business seasonality. The seasonality of our operating results arises from higher sales in the second and third quarters versus the first and fourth quarters of the year, combined with the impact of fixed costs, such as depreciation and interest, which are not

Table of Contents
significantly impacted by business seasonality. From a cash flow perspective, the majority of our cash flow from operations is generated in the third and fourth quarters.
Note 3 — New Accounting Standards
FASB Interpretation No. 48
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 provides guidance on the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and transition. FIN 48 becomes effective beginning with our first quarter 2007 fiscal period. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
SFAS No. 157
In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157,Fair Value Measurements, which establishes a framework for reporting fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 becomes effective beginning with our first quarter 2008 fiscal period. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
SFAS No. 158
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158,Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans. Effective for our fiscal year ending 2006, we will be required to fully recognize the assets and obligations associated with our defined benefit plans. Effective for fiscal year ending 2008, we will be required to measure a plan’s assets and liabilities as of the end of the fiscal year instead of our current measurement date of September 30. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Diluted earnings per share | $ | 0.86 | $ | 0.82 | $ | 1.61 | $ | 1.55 |
Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if the stock options or other equity awards from our stock compensation plans were exercised and converted into common stock that would then participate in net income.
The following shares are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the option exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the Company’s common shares during the related periods and the effect of including the options in the computation would be antidilutive:
• | For the 12 weeks ended September 9, 2006 and September 3, 2005, options to purchase 0.2 million shares and 6.4 million shares, respectively. | ||
• | For the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2006 and September 3, 2005, options to purchase 2.1 million shares and 11.5 million shares, respectively. |
Note 5 — Share-Based Compensation
Accounting for Share-Based Compensation
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 123 (revised), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). Among its provisions, SFAS 123R requires the Company to recognize compensation expense for equity awards over the vesting period based on their grant-date fair value. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company utilized the intrinsic-value based method of accounting under APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations, and adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). Under the intrinsic-value based method of accounting, compensation expense for stock options granted to the Company’s employees was measured as the excess of the quoted market price of common stock at the grant date over the amount the employee must pay for the stock. The Company’s policy is to grant stock options at fair value on the date of grant and as a result no compensation expense was historically recognized for stock options.
7
Table of Contents
The Company adopted SFAS 123R in the first quarter of 2006 using the modified prospective approach. Under this transition method, the measurement and our method of amortization of costs for share-based payments granted prior to, but not vested as of January 1, 2006, would be based on the same estimate of the grant-date fair value and the same amortization method that was previously used in our SFAS 123 pro forma disclosure. Results for prior periods have not been restated as provided for under the modified prospective approach. For equity awards granted after the date of adoption, we amortize share-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting term.
Compensation expense is recognized only for share-based payments expected to vest. We estimate forfeitures, both at the date of grant as well as throughout the vesting period, based on the Company’s historical experience and future expectations. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the effect of forfeitures on the pro forma expense amounts was recognized based on estimated forfeitures.
The adoption of SFAS 123R reduced our basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.04 for the 12 weeks ended September 9, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 123R reduced our basic earnings per share by $0.13 and diluted earnings per share by $0.12 for the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2006. Total share-based compensation expense recognized in selling, delivery and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the 12 weeks ended September 9, 2006 was $14 million, which is before an income tax benefit of $4 million and minority interest of $1 million, resulting in a decrease to net income of $9 million. Total share-based compensation expense recognized in selling, delivery and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2006 was $46 million, which is before an income tax benefit of $13 million and minority interest of $3 million, resulting in a decrease to net income of $30 million.
The following table shows the effect on net income and earnings per share for the 12 weeks and 36 weeks ended September 3, 2005 had compensation expense been recognized based upon the estimated fair value on the grant date of awards, in accordance with SFAS 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure”:

Share-Based Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plans
Prior to 2006, we granted non-qualified stock options to certain employees, including middle and senior management under our share-based long-term incentive compensation plans (“incentive plans”). Additionally, we granted restricted stock and restricted stock units to certain senior executives. Non-employee members of our Board (“Directors”) participate in a separate incentive plan and receive non-qualified stock options, shares of common stock or restricted stock.
Beginning in 2006, we have granted a mix of stock options and restricted stock units to middle and senior management employees and Directors under our incentive plans.
Shares available for future issuance to employees and Directors under existing plans were 11.4 million at September 9, 2006.
The fair value of PBG stock options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-valuation model. The table below outlines the weighted average assumptions for options granted during the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 9, 2006 and September 3, 2005:
12 Weeks Ended | 36 Weeks Ended | |||||||||||||||
September | September | September | September | |||||||||||||
9, 2006 | 3, 2005 | 9, 2006 | 3, 2005 | |||||||||||||
Risk-free interest rate | 5.0 | % | 4.0 | % | 4.7 | % | 4.1 | % | ||||||||
Expected term (in years) | 5.7 | 5.8 | 5.7 | 5.8 | ||||||||||||
Expected volatility | 27 | % | 28 | % | 27 | % | 28 | % | ||||||||
Expected dividend yield | 1.5 | % | 1.1 | % | 1.5 | % | 1.1 | % | ||||||||
Estimated fair value per option granted | $ | 10.22 | $ | 8.59 | $ | 8.75 | $ | 8.67 |
The expected term of the options represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is based on historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior. Expected stock price volatility is based on a combination of historical volatility of the Company’s stock and the implied volatility of its traded options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term.
We receive a tax deduction for certain stock option exercises when the options are exercised, generally for the excess of the stock price when the options are exercised over the exercise price of the options. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company presented all tax benefits resulting from the exercise of stock options as operating cash inflows in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. SFAS 123R requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of the grant-date fair value for those options to be classified as financing cash inflows rather than operating cash inflows, on a prospective basis. For the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2006, we recognized $32 million in tax benefits from the exercise of equity awards, of which $17 million was recorded as excess tax benefits in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, resulting in a decrease of cash from operations and an increase in cash from financing of $17 million.
As of September 9, 2006, there was approximately $100 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the incentive plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years.

Stock Options
Stock options expire after 10 years and prior to the 2006 grant year, stock options granted to employees were generally exercisable 25 percent after each of the first two years, and the remainder after three years. Beginning in 2006, new stock options granted to employees generally will vest ratably over three years. Stock options granted to Directors are typically fully vested on the grant date.
The following table summarizes option activity during the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2006:

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above is before income taxes, based on the Company’s closing stock price of $34.05 as of the last business day of the period ended September 9, 2006.
During the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 9, 2006, the total intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $47 million and $100 million, respectively.
Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units
Restricted stock and restricted stock units granted to employees have vesting periods that range from two to five years. In addition, restricted stock unit awards to certain senior executives contain vesting provisions that are contingent upon the achievement of pre-established performance targets. The initial restricted stock award to Directors remains restricted while the individual serves on the Board. The annual grants to Directors vest immediately, but may be deferred. All restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards are settled in shares of PBG common stock.
The following table summarizes restricted stock and restricted stock unit activity during the 36 weeks ended September 9, 2006:
Restricted Stocks and | Shares | Weighted Average | ||||||
Restricted Stock Units | (in millions) | Grant-Date Fair Value | ||||||

The total fair value of shares vested during the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 9, 2006 was approximately $0.1 million and $2 million, respectively. The weighted average fair value of restricted stock units granted for the 12 weeks ended September 9, 2006 was $32.78.

On March 30, 2006, Bottling LLC issued $800 million of 5.50% senior notes due 2016 (the “Notes”). Bottling LLC distributed $356 million of the net proceeds to PBG to repay our outstanding commercial paper balance. The balance of Bottling LLC’s proceeds was used to repay its outstanding 2.45% senior notes in October of 2006.
The Notes are general unsecured obligations and rank on an equal basis with all of Bottling LLC’s other existing and future unsecured indebtedness and are senior to all of Bottling LLC’s future subordinated indebtedness. The Notes contain covenants that are similar to those contained under existing senior notes. We are in compliance with all debt covenants.
Note 12 — Pension and Postretirement Medical Benefit Plans
Pension Benefits
Our U.S. employees participate in noncontributory defined benefit pension plans, which cover substantially all full-time salaried employees, as well as most hourly employees. Benefits generally are based on years of service and compensation, or stated amounts for each year of service. All of our qualified plans are funded and contributions are made in amounts not less than the minimum statutory funding requirements and not more than the maximum amount that can be deducted for U.S. income tax purposes. Our net pension expense for the defined benefit plans for our operations outside the U.S. was not significant and is not included in the tables presented below.
Nearly all of our U.S. employees are also eligible to participate in our 401(k) savings plans, which are voluntary defined contribution plans. We make matching contributions to the 401(k) savings plans on behalf of participants eligible to receive such contributions. If a participant has one or more but less than 10 years of eligible service, our match will equal $0.50 for each dollar the participant elects to defer up to 4 percent of the participant’s pay. If the participant has 10 or more years of eligible service, our match will equal $1.00 for each dollar the participant elects to defer up to 4 percent of the participant’s pay.

Note 13 — Segment Information
We operate in one industry, carbonated soft drinks and other ready-to-drink beverages and all of our segments derive revenue from these products. We conduct business in all or a portion of the United States, Mexico, Canada, Spain, Russia, Greece and Turkey. Beginning with the fiscal quarter ended March 25, 2006, PBG changed its financial reporting methodology to three reportable segments — U.S. & Canada, Europe (which includes Spain, Russia, Greece and Turkey) and Mexico. The operating segments of the U.S. and Canada are aggregated into a single reportable segment due to their economic similarity as well as similarity across products, manufacturing and distribution methods, types of customers and regulatory environments.
Operationally, the Company is organized along geographic lines with specific regional management teams having responsibility for the financial results in each reportable segment. We evaluate the performance of these segments based on operating income or loss. Operating income or loss is exclusive of net interest expense, minority interest, foreign exchange gains and losses and income taxes.

Item 2.Management’s Financial Review
Tabular dollars in millions, except per share data
OVERVIEW
The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc. (“PBG” or the “Company”) is the world’s largest manufacturer, seller and distributor of Pepsi-Cola beverages. We have the exclusive right to manufacture, sell and distribute Pepsi-Cola beverages in all or a portion of the United States, Mexico, Canada and Europe, which consists of operations in Spain, Greece, Russia and Turkey. When used in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, “PBG,” “we,” “our” and “us” each refers to The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc. and, where appropriate, to Bottling Group, LLC (“Bottling LLC”), our principal operating subsidiary.
PBG operates in one industry, carbonated soft drinks and other ready-to-drink beverages and all of our segments derive revenue from these products. Historically the Company has operated and reported under one reportable segment and, where material to PBG’s overall results, provided both performance results and expected trends for volume, net revenues, cost of sales, selling, delivery and administrative expenses and operating income for each of PBG’s geographic territories (U.S., Canada, Europe and Mexico) and components thereof.
Beginning with the fiscal quarter ended March 25, 2006, PBG changed its financial reporting methodology to three reportable segments — U.S. & Canada, Europe and Mexico. Operationally, the Company is organized along geographic lines with specific regional management teams having responsibility for the financial results in each reportable segment. See Note 13 of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on our segments.
Management’s Financial Review should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited financial statements and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, which include additional information about our accounting policies, practices and the transactions that underlie our financial results.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP often requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions regarding uncertainties that affect the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company, as well as the related footnote disclosures. Management bases its estimates on knowledge of our operations, markets in which we operate, historical trends, and other assumptions. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
As discussed in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, management considers the Company’s policies on Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, Recoverability of Goodwill and Intangible Assets with Indefinite Lives, Pension and Postretirement Medical Benefit Plans, Casualty Insurance Costs and Income Taxes to be the most important to the portrayal of PBG’s financial condition and results of operations because they require the use of estimates, assumptions and the application of judgment.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 123 (revised), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). With the adoption of SFAS 123R, PBG has added “Share-Based Compensation” as a critical accounting policy.
17
Table of Contents
Share-Based Compensation
Among its provisions, SFAS 123R requires the Company to recognize compensation expense for equity awards over the vesting period based on their grant-date fair value. The compensation expense is recognized only for share-based payments expected to vest and we estimate forfeitures, both at the date of grant as well as throughout the vesting period, based on the Company’s historical experience and future expectations.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option-valuation model to value stock options, which requires the input of stock price and subjective assumptions. These assumptions include the length of time employees will retain their vested stock options before exercising them (“expected term”), the estimated volatility of the Company’s stock price, risk-free interest rate and the expected dividend yield. The expected term of the options is based on historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior. The expected term determines the period for which the risk-free interest rate and volatility must be applied. The risk-free interest rate is based on the expected U.S. Treasury rate over the expected term. Expected stock price volatility is based on a combination of historical volatility of the Company’s stock price and the implied volatility of its traded options. Dividend yield is management’s long-term estimate of annual dividends to be paid as a percentage of share price.
For 2006, the impact of adopting SFAS 123R is expected to reduce our operating income by approximately $70 million and our diluted earnings per share by $0.18. Future changes in the subjective assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton option-valuation model or estimates associated with forfeitures could materially affect the share-based compensation expense and consequently, the related amounts recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. See Note 5 of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on our share-based compensation.

SFAS 123R
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123R Share-Based Payment, which requires that all stock-based payments be expensed based on the fair value of the awards at the time of grant. Prior to 2006, in accordance with existing accounting guidelines, the Company was not required to recognize this expense.
High Fructose Corn Syrup (“HFCS”) Litigation Settlement
During the third quarter of 2005, the Company recorded a gain, net of strategic spending initiatives, related to the settlement of the HFCS class action lawsuit. The lawsuit related to purchases of high fructose corn syrup. As a result of the HFCS settlement, the Company decided to accelerate the implementation of strategic spending initiatives into 2005. Please see our Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 3, 2005 for further details.
Tax Law Changes
During the third quarter of 2006, tax law changes were enacted in Canada, Turkey, and in various U.S. jurisdictions resulting in a net decrease in income tax expense of $12 million. Please see our Income Tax Expense discussion in the Financial Performance section below for further details.
Financial Performance Discussion
For the third quarter of 2006, diluted earnings per share increased five percent and net income increased one percent when compared with the similar period in the prior year. These results include a pre-tax charge of $14 million or $0.04 of diluted earnings per share due to the adoption of SFAS 123R at the beginning of 2006 and a net gain of $12 million or $0.05 of diluted earnings per share related to income tax law changes enacted in Canada, Turkey and in various U.S. jurisdictions. In addition, our growth in net income and diluted earnings per share were negatively impacted by the net pre-tax gain of $16 million or $0.04 of diluted earnings per share from the HFCS litigation settlement which is reflected in our prior year results.
For the third quarter, worldwide operating income decreased three percent, which includes the four-percentage point negative impact from the Company’s adoption of SFAS 123R in 2006 and reflects the lapping of the four-percentage point net gain from the HFCS litigation settlement recorded in 2005. Excluding these items, operating results for the third quarter were strong and were primarily driven by increases in net revenue per case in each of our segments, coupled with solid volume trends across all segments. On a worldwide basis, revenues increased eight percent in the quarter versus the prior year, which helped contribute to a six percent increase in worldwide gross profit. Our strong revenue performance was partially offset by cost of sales increases, driven primarily by higher raw material costs, and increased operating expenses.

Table of Contents
Acquisitions in the U.S. & Mexico added approximately one-percentage point of growth to our volume and revenue in the quarter. The impact of foreign currency translation contributed less than one-percentage point of growth to each line item above operating income.
Worldwide volume increased four percent in the third quarter of 2006 versus the prior year reflecting strong growth in our U.S. & Canada and Europe segments. In Mexico, volume excluding the impact of acquisitions decreased one percent in the quarter. This decrease was due to declines in carbonated soft drinks (CSDs) and in our bottled water and jug water business, which were partially offset by growth in our non-carbonated portfolio. In the U.S. & Canada, volume excluding the impact of acquisitions increased two percent, primarily due to double-digit growth in our non-carbonated portfolio. In Europe, volume grew eight percent as a result of double-digit growth in Russia and Turkey.
Worldwide gross profit per case increased two percent in the quarter versus the prior year, driven primarily by net revenue per case growth of four percent and partially offset by a five percent increase in our cost of sales per case. Each of our segments delivered net revenue per case improvement, reflecting the Company’s strong focus on revenue management. In the U.S., net revenue per case increased three percent due to favorable rate improvements. Worldwide cost of sales per case increases were driven primarily by increases in raw material costs, coupled with package mix shifts due to stronger volume growth in higher priced non-carbonated products.
Worldwide selling, delivery and administrative (“SD&A”) expenses increased nine percent in the quarter versus the prior year, including one and one half-percentage point increase for each of the adoption of SFAS 123R and the lapping of the $16 million net pre-tax gain from the HFCS litigation settlement which was included in our SD&A expenses in the prior year. In addition to these impacts, increases in the Company’s SD&A expenses were driven primarily by wage and benefit increases and strong volume growth, coupled with rising fuel and pension costs and planned investment spending in high growth European markets.
Full-Year 2006 Outlook
In 2006, our fiscal year consists of 52 weeks, while fiscal year 2005 consisted of 53 weeks. Our U.S. and Canadian operations report on a fiscal year that consists of 52 weeks, ending on the last Saturday in December. Every five or six years a 53rd week is added. Our other countries report on a calendar-year basis. In order to provide comparable guidance for 2006, we have identified the impact that the 53rd week in 2005 has on our growth rates in the footnotes to the tables below. Constant territory calculations assume a 52-week year and all significant acquisitions made in the prior year were made at the beginning of that year. These calculations exclude all significant acquisitions made in the current year.
Additionally, as discussed in Note 5 in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company adopted SFAS 123R in the first quarter of 2006. SFAS 123R requires that all stock-based payments be expensed based on the fair value of the awards. In accordance with existing accounting guidelines, the Company did not recognize compensation expense for stock options during fiscal year 2005.

Our reported worldwide physical case volume increased four percent in the third quarter and five percent in the first 36 weeks of 2006, when compared with similar periods of 2005. The increase in volume for both the quarter and on a year-to-date basis was driven by strong growth in our U.S. & Canada and Europe segments, coupled with the impact from acquisitions in the U.S. and Mexico.
In our U.S. & Canada segment, volume increases, in both the quarter and on a year-to-date basis, were primarily driven by strong non-carbonated beverage sales.
Excluding the impact of acquisitions, volume in the U.S. increased two percent in the third quarter and four percent on a year-to-date basis versus similar periods in 2005. This growth reflects volume increases in our take-home channel of two percent and five percent for the quarter and year-to-date period, respectively. Volume growth in this channel was primarily driven by double-digit

increases in Club and Dollar stores as well as mass retailers and drug stores. In our cold drink channel, volume was about flat for the quarter driven by slowing trends in select areas of our foodservice business. On a year-to-date basis, cold drink volume increased three percent, as a result of strong results in the convenience and gas channel and in the foodservice channel during the first half of the year.
From a brand perspective, strong growth in the U.S. for the quarter and year-to-date period versus the prior year was driven by double-digit growth in our non-carbonated portfolio, including trademarkAquafina,Lipton Iced Teaand our energy drinks. The introduction of new flavors in ourLipton brand,SoBe Lifewater andAquafina Sparkling contributed to the increase in the third quarter. Our CSD portfolio in the U.S. had slight declines during the quarter and in the first 36 weeks of 2006, versus similar periods in 2005, driven primarily by declines in trademarkPepsi. Our flavored CSD portfolio decreased slightly during the quarter as a result of declines inTropicana Twister. On a year-to-date basis, our flavored CSD portfolio increased slightly as a result of growth in trademarkMountain Dew during the first half of the year.
In Canada, overall volume increased three and two percent for the quarter and year-to-date period, respectively, versus the prior year, reflecting strong growth in the take-home channel. From a brand perspective, growth in the quarter and year-to-date period was driven largely by double-digit growth in our non-carbonated portfolio, including trademarkAquafina, and partially offset by softness in our CSD portfolio.
In Europe, overall volume grew eight percent for the quarter and seven percent for the year-to-date period versus the prior year, driven primarily by double-digit increases in Russia and Turkey. Solid growth in our non-carbonated portfolio, trademarkPepsi and local brands helped drive overall volume growth in these countries.
In Mexico, excluding the impact of acquisitions, volume decreased one percent during the quarter versus the prior year, driven primarily by declines in CSDs of approximately one percent and declines of two percent in our bottled water business and four percent in our jug water business. These declines were partially offset by growth in our non-carbonated portfolio. On a year-to-date basis, excluding the impact of acquisitions, volume increased two percent, driven primarily by increases in our bottled water business in the first half of the year and growth in our non-carbonated portfolio, which was introduced in 2005.

Worldwide net revenues were $3.5 billion for the third quarter and $9.0 billion on a year-to-date basis, increasing eight and nine percent, respectively over similar periods in 2005. The increases in worldwide net revenues for the quarter and on a year-to-date basis were driven primarily by increases in net price per case and strong volume growth. In the third quarter, our U.S. & Canada segment generated approximately 74 percent of our worldwide revenues. Our Europe segment generated 16 percent of our revenues and Mexico generated the remaining 10 percent. On a year-to-date basis, approximately 78 percent of our revenues were generated in our U.S. & Canada segment, 12 percent was generated by Europe and the remaining 10 percent was generated by Mexico.
In the U.S. & Canada, net revenues increased seven percent in the third quarter and nine percent for the first 36 weeks of 2006, when compared with similar periods in 2005. The increases for the quarter and year-to-date period were driven primarily by volume growth and increases in net price per case, mostly due to rate improvements. In the U.S., net price per case improved three percent for both the third quarter and year-to-date period.
In Europe, net revenue increased 14 percent for the third quarter and 10 percent for the first 36 weeks of 2006 versus the prior year, driven primarily by strong volume growth in Russia and Turkey and increases in net price per case.
Net revenues in Mexico grew five percent in the third quarter and 10 percent for the first 36 weeks of 2006 versus the prior year, driven primarily by net price per case increases and the impact of acquisitions, coupled with volume growth on a year-to-date basis. Increases in net price per case were driven mostly by rate increases, implemented in the latter part of 2005, coupled with a favorable mix shift to higher priced products.

Worldwide cost of sales was $1.9 billion in the third quarter of 2006 and $4.8 billion for the first 36 weeks of 2006, increasing nine percent and 11 percent, respectively, over similar periods in 2005. The growth in cost of sales for the quarter and on a year-to-date basis was driven primarily by cost per case increases and volume growth. Worldwide cost per case increases were driven primarily by increases in raw material costs and package mix shifts. Mix changes in package were driven by volume growth in higher priced non-carbonated products.
In our U.S. & Canada segment, cost of sales increases were consistent with our worldwide trends, increasing nine percent in the third quarter of 2006 and 11 percent for the first 36 weeks of 2006, when compared to similar periods in the prior year. These increases were driven primarily by increases in cost per case, coupled with volume growth and a one-percentage point impact from acquisitions. The increases in cost per case resulted from rate increases in packaging and ingredients, coupled with the impact of mix shifts to higher priced non-carbonated products.
In Europe, cost of sales grew in line with our worldwide cost of sales in the third quarter and on a year-to-date basis, when compared to the prior year. This increase was primarily driven by strong volume growth, coupled with cost per case increases in the low single digits.
In Mexico, cost of sales increased in the mid to high single digits in the third quarter and on a year-to-date basis, when compared to the prior year, driven predominantly by cost per case increases, coupled with the impact of acquisitions. The increases in cost per case were primarily driven by higher manufacturing overhead costs and negative mix shifts as a result of softer volume in our jug water and bottled water business.

Worldwide SD&A expenses were $1.2 billion in the third quarter and $3.4 billion for the first 36 weeks of 2006, a nine percent increase over similar periods in 2005. Increases in worldwide SD&A expenses were driven primarily by strong volume growth which impacted the variable components of our SD&A expenses, higher wage and benefit costs, increased fuel and pension costs and planned investment spending in high growth European markets. These increases were coupled with the impact of SFAS 123R in 2006 and the lapping of the net pre-tax gain of $16 million from the HFCS litigation settlement which reduced our SD&A in 2005.
Operating Income
Worldwide operating income was $383 million in the third quarter, a three percent decrease over 2005. On a year-to-date basis, worldwide operating income was $819 million, a less than one percent increase over 2005. The decline in operating income for the quarter and the flat performance for the year-to-date period was primarily driven by the Company’s adoption of SFAS 123R in 2006 and the lapping of the net gain from the HFCS litigation settlement recorded in the prior year.
The impact of adopting SFAS 123R reduced our operating income by four percentage points in the third quarter and six percentage points for the 36 weeks ended 2006. The lapping of the net gain from the HFCS litigation settlement, which was recorded as a reduction to SD&A in 2005, reduced our operating income growth by four percentage points in the third quarter and two percentage points in the year-to-date period. Excluding these items, operating results for the third quarter and year-to-date period were strong and reflected increases in net revenue per case in each of our segments, coupled with solid volume trends across all segments, and partially offset by higher raw material costs and increased operating expenses.
Interest Expense, net
Net interest expense increased $6 million in the third quarter and $17 million on a year-to-date basis, versus the prior year, largely due to higher effective interest rates from interest rate swaps, which convert our fixed-rate debt to variable-rate debt.
25
Table of Contents
Other Non-operating Expenses, net
Other non-operating expenses increased $2 million in the third quarter and $11 million on a year-to-date basis, versus the prior year, primarily driven by foreign exchange losses associated with the devaluation of the Turkish lira. This devaluation caused transactional losses due to the revaluation of our U.S. dollar denominated liabilities in Turkey, which were repaid in June of 2006.
Income Tax Expense
Our effective tax rate for the 36 weeks ended 2006 and 2005 was 32.2 percent and 34.8 percent, respectively. The decrease in our effective tax rate versus the prior year is due primarily to the reversal of previously established valuation allowances on tax assets driven by improved profitability trends in certain European jurisdictions. During the third quarter, changes to the income tax laws in Canada, Turkey and certain jurisdictions within the U.S. were enacted. These law changes enabled us to re-measure our net deferred tax liabilities using lower tax rates which decreased our income tax expense by $12 million in the quarter.
The IRS audit of our 1999 and 2000 tax returns concluded at the end of 2005. However, pursuant to an agreement with the IRS, we extended the statute of limitations on assessment and our 1999 and 2000 tax years remain open through December 30, 2006. We do not expect any further extension of the statute of limitations beyond December 30, 2006. We are currently evaluating the impact of the close of the 1999 and 2000 IRS audit and expiration of this statute of limitations on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Liquidity and Financial Condition
Cash Flows
Through the third quarter of 2006, PBG generated $705 million of net cash provided by operations, which was $65 million lower than the cash generated in the comparable period in 2005. The decrease was driven by timing of collections on accounts receivable and higher growth in inventories as a result of timing of purchases of certain raw materials, partially offset by our solid operating results and the timing of pension contributions.
Through the third quarter of 2006, cash used for investments was $544 million, which is $75 million higher than the cash used for investments in the comparable period in 2005. The increase in cash used for investments reflects higher capital spending due to investments in water production lines and payment for the Bepusa acquisition in Mexico.
Through the third quarter of 2006, we generated $201 million from financing activities as compared with a use of $338 million in the comparable period of 2005. This increase in cash from financing activities is driven primarily by higher net proceeds from debt issuances, higher proceeds from stock option exercises and lower purchases of treasury stock, partially offset by repayment of our borrowings and higher dividend payments.
For the full year 2006, we expect cash provided by operations to be greater than $1.2 billion and we plan to spend approximately $735 million in capital investments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On March 30, 2006, Bottling LLC issued $800 million of 5.50% senior notes due 2016 (the “Notes”). The net proceeds received, after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses, were approximately $793 million. Bottling LLC distributed $356 million of the net proceeds to PBG to repay our outstanding commercial paper balance. The balance of Bottling LLC’s proceeds was used to repay its outstanding 2.45% senior notes in October of 2006.
The Notes are general unsecured obligations and rank on an equal basis with all of Bottling LLC’s other existing and future unsecured indebtedness and are senior to all of Bottling LLC’s
26
Table of Contents
future subordinated indebtedness. The Notes contain covenants that are similar to those contained under existing senior notes.
We believe that our future cash flows from operations and borrowing capacity will be sufficient to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions, dividends and working capital requirements for the foreseeable future.
In March 2006, we entered into a $450 million committed revolving credit facility (“2006 Agreement”) which expires in March 2011 and increased our existing facility, which expires in April 2009, from $500 million to $550 million. Our $1 billion of committed credit facilities, which are guaranteed by Bottling LLC, support our $1 billion commercial paper program. Subject to certain conditions stated in the 2006 Agreement, the Company may borrow, prepay and reborrow amounts under the 2006 Agreement at any time during the term of the 2006 Agreement. Funds borrowed may be used for general corporate purposes, including supporting our commercial paper program. The 2006 Agreement also provides that standby letters of credit may be issued on behalf of the Company up to $250 million.
The 2006 Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and events of default in addition to certain financial covenants.
We are in compliance with all debt covenants.
At September 9, 2006 we had no outstanding commercial paper. We had $355 million outstanding in commercial paper at December 31, 2005.
Due to the nature of our business, we require insurance coverage for certain casualty risks. Given the rapidly increasing costs associated with obtaining third-party insurance coverage for our casualty risks in the U.S., we moved to a self-insurance program in 2002. In 2006, we are self-insured for workers’ compensation and automobile risks for occurrences up to $10 million, and product and general liability risks for occurrences up to $5 million. For losses exceeding these self-insurance thresholds, we purchase casualty insurance from a third-party provider.
On March 23, 2006 the Company’s Board of Directors approved a 38 percent increase in the Company’s quarterly dividend, raising it from $0.08 to $0.11 per share on the outstanding common stock of the Company. The quarterly dividend of $0.11 per share is payable September 29, 2006 to PBG shareholders of record on September 8, 2006.
Contractual Obligations
As of September 9, 2006, there have been no material changes outside the normal course of business in the contractual obligations disclosed in Item 7 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, under the caption “Contractual Obligations.”

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The overall risks to our international businesses include changes in foreign governmental policies and other political or economic developments. These developments may lead to new product pricing, tax or other policies and monetary fluctuations, which may adversely impact our business. In addition, our results of operations and the value of our foreign assets are affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign currency gains and losses reflect transaction gains and losses as well as translation gains and losses arising from the re-measurement into U.S. dollars of the net monetary assets of businesses in highly inflationary countries. There have been no material changes to our market risks as disclosed in Item 7 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
