Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts
Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts
Note 1—Basis of 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 have the exclusive right to manufacture, sell and distribute Pepsi-Cola beverages in all or a portion of the United States, Mexico, Canada, Spain, Russia, Greece and Turkey.
We prepare our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the results of operations, financial position and cash flows, as well as the related footnote disclosures. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis using our historical experience as well as other factors we believe appropriate under the circumstances, such as current economic conditions, and adjust or revise our estimates as circumstances change. As future events and their effect cannot be determined with precision, actual results may differ from these estimates.
These interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 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 27, 2008 as presented in our Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 16, 2009. 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.
Our U.S. and Canadian operations report using 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. Fiscal years 2009 and 2008 consist of 52 weeks. Our remaining countries report on 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 | September, October, November and December |
In preparation of these financial statements, we have evaluated and assessed all events occurring subsequent to the third quarter end and through October 9, 2009, which is the date our financial statements were issued.
At September 5, 2009, PepsiCo, Inc. (“PepsiCo”) owned 70,166,458 shares of our stock, consisting of 70,066,458 shares of common stock and all 100,000 authorized shares of Class B common stock. This represents approximately 32.3 percent of our outstanding common stock and 100 percent of our outstanding Class B common stock, together representing 39.2 percent of the voting power of all classes of our voting stock. In addition, PepsiCo owns approximately 6.6 percent of the equity of Bottling LLC and 40 percent of PR Beverages Limited (“PR Beverages”), a consolidated venture for our Russian operations.
We consolidate in our financial statements entities in which we have a controlling financial interest, as well as variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary. Noncontrolling interests in earnings and ownership has been recorded for the percentage of these entities not owned by PBG. We have eliminated all intercompany accounts and transactions in consolidation.

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 sales of our products are seasonal. 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 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
SFAS No. 141(R) as amended
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141(revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”), which addresses the accounting and disclosure for identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests in a business combination. In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 141(R)-1, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies” (“FSP FAS 141(R)-1”), which amended certain provisions of SFAS 141(R) related to the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies. SFAS 141(R) and FSP FAS 141(R)-1 became effective in 2009, and did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, but will continue to be evaluated on the outcome of future matters.
SFAS No. 160
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”), which addresses the accounting and reporting framework for noncontrolling interests by a parent company. SFAS 160 also addresses disclosure requirements to distinguish between interests of the parent and interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 became effective in the first quarter of 2009. The provisions of SFAS 160 require that minority interest be renamed noncontrolling interests and that a company present a consolidated net income measure that includes the amount attributable to such noncontrolling interests for all periods presented. In addition, SFAS 160 requires reporting noncontrolling interests as a component of equity in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and below income tax expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As required by SFAS 160, we have retrospectively applied the presentation to our prior year balances in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
SFAS No. 161
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS 161”), which requires enhanced disclosures for derivative and hedging activities. SFAS 161 became effective in the first quarter of 2009. See Note 9 for required disclosure.
FSP FAS 132(R)-1
In December 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. SFAS 132(revised 2003)-1, “Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets” (“FSP FAS 132(R)-1”), which requires employers to disclose information about fair value measurements of plan assets that are similar to the disclosures about fair value measurements required by SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). FSP FAS 132(R)-1 will become effective for our annual financial statements for 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. SFAS 107-1 and APB No. 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1”), which requires quarterly disclosure of information about the fair value of financial instruments within the scope of FASB Statement No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 has an effective date requiring adoption by the third quarter of 2009 with early adoption permitted. PBG

Table of Contents
adopted the provisions of FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 in the first quarter of 2009. See Note 8 for required disclosures.
SFAS No. 165
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”), which sets forth general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 became effective in the third quarter of 2009 and did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
SFAS No. 167
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“SFAS 167”), which amends FASB Interpretation No. 46(revised December 2003) to address the elimination of the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity. SFAS 167 also replaces the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity with an approach focused on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity and the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity. Additionally, SFAS 167 provides more timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement with a variable interest entity. SFAS 167 will become effective in the first quarter of 2010. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
SFAS No. 168
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “TheFASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“SFAS 168”), which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS 168 explicitly recognizes rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under federal securities laws as authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS 168 will become effective in the fourth quarter of 2009 and will require the Company to update all existing GAAP references to the new codification references for all future filings.

Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income attributable to PBG by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during each period.
Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options or other equity awards from our share-based compensation plans were exercised and converted into common stock that would then participate in net income. The following shares were excluded from the diluted earnings per share computation because the exercise price of the options was 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 5, 2009 and September 6, 2008, options to purchase 81 thousand shares and 13 million shares, respectively. |
• | For the 36 weeks ended September 5, 2009 and September 6, 2008, options to purchase 12 million shares and 6.5 million shares, respectively. |

Note 8—Fair Value Measurements
We adopted SFAS 157 at the beginning of the 2008 fiscal year for all financial instruments valued on a recurring basis, at least annually. Additionally, beginning in the first quarter of 2009, in accordance with the provisions of FASB Staff Position No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP 157-2”) we now apply SFAS 157 to financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities. FSP 157-2 delayed the effective date of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except for certain items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. In accordance with SFAS 157, we have categorized our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value into a three-level fair value hierarchy as set forth below. If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1— Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 —Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in non-active markets, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3— Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the input used in pricing the asset or liability.
The following table summarizes the financial assets and liabilities we measure at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 5, 2009 and December 27, 2008:

Other Financial Assets and Liabilities
Financial assets with carrying values approximating fair value include cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Financial liabilities with carrying values approximating fair value include accounts payable and other accrued liabilities and short-term debt. The carrying value of these financial assets and liabilities approximates fair value due to their short maturities and due to their interest rates approximating current market rates for short-term debt.
Long-term debt, which includes the current maturities of long-term debt, at September 5, 2009, had a carrying value and fair value of $5.5 billion and $6.1 billion, respectively, and at December 27, 2008, had a carrying value and fair value of $6.1 billion and $6.4 billion, respectively. The fair value is based on interest rates that are currently available to us for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.
Note 9—Financial Instruments and Risk Management
We are subject to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and our stock price. In the normal course of business, we manage these risks through a variety of strategies, including the use of derivatives. Our corporate policy prohibits the use of derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes, and we have procedures in place to monitor and control their use.
All derivative instruments are recorded at fair value as either assets or liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Derivative instruments are generally designated and accounted for under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”) as either a hedge of a recognized asset or liability (“fair value hedge”) or a hedge of a forecasted transaction (“cash flow hedge”). Certain of these derivatives are not designated as hedging instruments under SFAS 133 and are used as “economic hedges” to manage certain risks in our business.
We are exposed to counterparty credit risk on all of our derivative financial instruments. We have established and maintained counterparty credit guidelines and enter into transactions only with financial institutions of investment grade or better. We monitor our counterparty credit risk and utilize numerous counterparties to minimize our exposure to potential defaults. We do not require collateral under these agreements.
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of a derivative instrument is deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) until the underlying hedged item is recognized in earnings. The derivative gain or loss
14
Table of Contents
recognized in earnings is recorded consistent with the expense classification of the underlying hedged item. The ineffective portion of a fair value change on a qualifying cash flow hedge is recognized in earnings immediately.
Derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments under SFAS 133, but are used as economic hedges to manage certain risks in our business, are marked to market on a periodic basis and recognized currently in earnings consistent with the expense classification of the underlying hedged item.
Commodity — We use forward and option contracts to hedge the risk of adverse movements in commodity prices related primarily to anticipated purchases of raw materials and energy used in our operations. These contracts generally range from one to 24 months in duration. Our open commodity derivative contracts that qualify for cash flow hedge accounting have a notional value, based on the contract price, of $336 million as of September 5, 2009. Our open commodity derivative contracts that act as economic hedges but do not qualify for hedge accounting have a notional value, based on the contract price, of $8 million as of September 5, 2009.
Foreign Currency — We are subject to foreign currency transactional risks in certain of our international territories primarily for the purchase of commodities that are denominated in currencies that are different from their functional currency. We enter into forward contract agreements to hedge a portion of this foreign currency risk. These contracts generally range from one to 24 months in duration. Our open foreign currency derivative contracts that qualify for cash flow hedge accounting have a notional value, based on the contract price, of $89 million as of September 5, 2009.
We have foreign currency derivative contracts that act as economic hedges, which have a notional value, based on the contract price, of $47 million as of September 5, 2009. Additionally, we fair value certain vendor and customer contracts that have embedded foreign currency derivative components. These contracts generally range from one year to three years and as of September 5, 2009, have a notional value, based on the contract price, of $13 million.
Interest — We have entered into treasury rate lock agreements to hedge against adverse interest rate changes relating to the issuance of certain fixed rate debt financing arrangements. Gains and losses from these treasury rate lock agreements that are considered effective are deferred in AOCL and amortized to interest expense over the duration of the debt term. The Company has a $3 million net deferred gain in AOCL related to these instruments, which will be amortized over the next seven years. For the 36 weeks ended September 5, 2009, we recognized, in interest expense, a loss of $0.3 million.
We effectively converted $1.25 billion of our fixed-rate debt to floating-rate debt through the use of interest rate swaps with the objective of reducing our overall borrowing costs. These interest rate swaps meet the criteria for fair value hedge accounting and are assumed to be 100 percent effective in eliminating the market-rate risk inherent in our long-term debt. Accordingly, any gain or loss associated with these swaps is fully offset by the opposite market impact on the related debt and recognized currently in earnings.
Unfunded Deferred Compensation Liability — Our unfunded deferred compensation liability is subject to changes in our stock price as well as price changes in other equity and fixed-income investments. We use prepaid forward contracts to hedge the portion of our deferred compensation liability that is based on our stock price. At September 5, 2009, we had a prepaid forward contract for 585,000 shares of our stock.

Note 11—Income Taxes
During the first quarter of 2009, we settled our audits with the IRS for our 2003-2005 tax years. As a result, our gross reserves for uncertain tax benefits, excluding interest, decreased by $71 million. Of this amount, $25 million was reflected as a benefit in income tax expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, $43 million was reclassified to deferred income taxes and other assets in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and $3 million was paid. In addition, we decreased our related reserves for interest by approximately $14 million, for a total net provision benefit of $39 million as a result of the settlement.
During the second quarter of 2009, the statute of limitations closed for our IRS audit in the U.S. for the 2003 and 2004 tax returns, and we reached a settlement with the Canadian tax authorities on an issue related to the 1999-2005 tax years. As a result, our gross reserves for uncertain tax benefits, excluding interest, decreased by $44 million of which $43 million was reflected as a benefit in income tax expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and $1 million was offset against other assets in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, we decreased our related reserves for interest by approximately $11 million and recognized a tax benefit from interest refunds of approximately $2 million. The total impact of these items was a net provision benefit of $56 million.
During the third quarter of 2009, we settled various audits in our international jurisdictions. As a result, our gross reserves for uncertain tax benefits, excluding interest, decreased by $36 million. In addition, we decreased our related reserves for interest by approximately $30 million. Of these amounts, $46 million was reflected as a benefit in income tax expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and $20 million was paid.
We currently have on-going income tax audits in our major tax jurisdictions. We believe that it is reasonably possible that our reserves for uncertain tax benefits could further decrease in the range of $15 million to $20 million within the next 12 months as a result of the completion of audits in various jurisdictions or the expiration of statute of limitations.

Note 12—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. PBG manages and reports operating results through three reportable segments — U.S. & Canada, Europe (which includes Spain, Russia, Greece and Turkey) 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. We evaluate the performance of these segments based on operating income or loss. Operating income or loss is exclusive of net interest expense, noncontrolling interests, foreign exchange gains and losses and income taxes.
The Company’s corporate headquarters centrally manages commodity derivatives on behalf of our segments. During 2009, we expanded our hedging program to mitigate price changes associated with certain commodities utilized in our production process. These derivatives hedge the underlying price risk associated with the commodity and are not entered into for speculative purposes. Certain commodity derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Others receive hedge accounting treatment but may have some element of ineffectiveness based on the accounting standard. These commodity derivatives are marked-to-market each period until settlement, resulting in gains and losses being reflected in corporate headquarters’ results. The gains and losses are subsequently reflected in the segment results when the underlying commodity’s cost is recognized. Therefore, segment results reflect the contract purchase price of these commodities. The Company did not have any comparable activity in the prior year periods.
The following tables summarize select financial information related to our reportable segments:

Note 13—Restructuring Charges
In the fourth quarter of 2008, we announced a restructuring program to enhance the Company’s operating capabilities in each of our reporting segments with the objective to strengthen customer service and selling effectiveness; simplify decision making and streamline the organization; drive greater cost productivity to adapt to current macroeconomic challenges; and rationalize the Company’s supply chain infrastructure. As part of the restructuring program, approximately 3,600 positions will be eliminated across all reporting segments, four facilities will be closed in the United States, three plants and about 30 distribution centers will be closed in Mexico and about 700 routes will be eliminated in Mexico. In addition, the Company modified its U.S. defined benefit pension plans, which will generate long-term savings and significantly reduce future financial obligations.
The Company expects to record pre-tax charges of $140 million to $170 million in selling, delivery and administrative expenses over the course of the restructuring program, which are primarily for severance and related benefits, pension and other employee-related costs and other charges, including employee relocation and asset disposal costs. Certain of the restructuring actions have been delayed due to the pending merger with PepsiCo, therefore, the restructuring actions may not be completed by the end of 2009, as originally intended.
Since the inception of the program and through September 5, 2009, we eliminated approximately 2,650 positions across all reporting segments and closed four facilities in the United States, three plants and 15 distribution centers in Mexico and eliminated 470 routes in Mexico.
The Company expects to incur approximately $130 million in pre-tax cash expenditures from these restructuring actions, of which $60 million was paid since the inception of the program, with the balance expected to occur in 2009 and 2010. This includes $6 million of employee benefit payments pursuant to existing unfunded termination indemnity plans. These benefit payments have been accrued for in previous periods, and therefore, are not included in our estimated cost for this program or the tables below.
The following tables summarize the pre-tax costs associated with the restructuring program.

Note 15—Contingencies
We are subject to various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, environmental and other matters arising from the normal course of business. We believe that the ultimate liability arising from such claims or contingencies, if any, in excess of amounts already recognized is not likely to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
On April 19, 2009, PBG received an unsolicited proposal from PepsiCo to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock not already owned by PepsiCo for $29.50 per share. The proposal consisted of $14.75 in cash plus 0.283 shares of PepsiCo common stock for each share of PBG common stock. Immediately following receipt of the proposal, PBG’s Board of Directors formed a special committee to review the adequacy of the proposal. On May 4, 2009, our Board of Directors rejected the proposal.
On August 3, 2009, PBG and PepsiCo entered into a definitive merger agreement, under which PepsiCo will acquire all outstanding shares of PBG common stock it does not already own for the price of $36.50 in cash or 0.6432 shares of PepsiCo common stock, subject to proration such that the aggregate consideration to be paid to PBG shareholders shall be 50 percent in cash and 50 percent in PepsiCo common stock. The transaction is subject to PBG shareholder approval and certain regulatory approvals and is expected to be finalized in late 2009 or early 2010.
As discussed below, we and members of our Board of Directors have been named in a number of lawsuits relating to the PepsiCo proposal. It is not presently possible to accurately forecast the outcome or the ultimate cost of these lawsuits. In the event of prolonged proceedings or a determination adverse to the Company or its directors or officers, the Company may incur substantial monetary liability and expense, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.
Beginning on April 22, 2009, seven putative stockholder class action complaints challenging the April 19 proposal were filed against the Company and the individual members of the Board of Directors of the Company in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Lawsuits”). The complaints alleged, among other things, that the defendants had breached or would breach their fiduciary duties owed to
21
Table of Contents
the public stockholders of the Company in connection with the April 19 proposal. The Delaware Lawsuits were consolidated on June 5, 2009, and an amended complaint was filed on June 19, 2009. The amended complaint seeks, among other things, damages and declaratory, injunctive, and other equitable relief alleging, among other things, that the defendants have breached or will breach their fiduciary duties owed to the public stockholders of the Company, that the April 19 proposal and the transactions contemplated thereunder were not entirely fair to the public stockholders, that PepsiCo had retaliated or would retaliate against the Company for rejecting the April 19 proposal, and that certain provisions of the Company’s certificate of incorporation are invalid and/or inapplicable to the April 19 proposal and the pending merger. On July 23, 2009, motions for partial summary judgment were filed concerning the plaintiffs’ allegations relating to the Company’s certificate of incorporation.
Beginning on April 29, 2009, two putative stockholder class action complaints were filed against the Company and members of the Company’s Board of Directors in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Westchester. The complaints seek, among other things, damages and declaratory, injunctive, and other equitable relief and allege, among other things, that the defendants have breached or will breach their fiduciary duties owed to the public stockholders of the Company, that the April 19 proposal and the transactions contemplated thereunder were not entirely fair to the public stockholders of the Company, and that the defensive measures implemented by the Company were not being used to maximize stockholder value. On June 8, 2009, we filed Motions to Dismiss (or, in the alternative, to Stay), the actions in favor of the previously filed actions pending in the Delaware Court of Chancery. As of June 26, 2009, our Motions were fully briefed and submitted to the Court.
On May 8, 2009, a putative stockholder class action complaint was filed against the Company and the members of the Board of Directors of the Company other than John C. Compton and Cynthia M. Trudell in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York. The complaint alleged that the defendants had breached their fiduciary duties owed to the public stockholders of the Company by depriving those stockholders of the full and fair value of their shares by failing to accept PepsiCo’s April 19 proposal to acquire the Company or to negotiate with PepsiCo after that proposal was made and by adopting certain defensive measures. On June 8, 2009, we filed Motions to Dismiss (or, in the alternative, to Stay) this action in favor of the previously filed actions pending in the Delaware Court of Chancery. The plaintiff failed to file a timely opposition to the Motion. On August 10, 2009, the plaintiff filed an amended class action complaint, adding as defendants PepsiCo, Mr. Compton and Ms. Trudell. The amended complaint seeks, among other things, damages and declaratory, injunctive, and other equitable relief and alleges, among other things, that the defendants have breached or will breach their fiduciary duties owed to the public stockholders of the Company and that the pending merger is not entirely fair to the public stockholders of the Company. On August 27, 2009, we again filed Motions to Dismiss (or, in the alternative, to Stay) this action in favor of the previously filed actions pending in the Delaware Court of Chancery.
On May 11, 2009, PepsiCo, Inc., along with Mr. Compton and Ms. Trudell (PepsiCo employees who are members of the Company’s Board of Directors) filed a complaint against the Company and the other members of its Board of Directors in Delaware Chancery Court. The complaint sought declaratory and injunctive relief and alleged that the defendants had breached their fiduciary duties owed to the public stockholders of the Company by, among other things, holding a meeting of the Company’s Board of Directors and taking certain actions at that meeting without providing notice to Mr. Compton and Ms. Trudell, adopting a stockholder rights plan that restricts PepsiCo’s rights as a stockholder by, for example, limiting its ability to solicit consents, and adopting a stockholder rights plan that was an unreasonable and disproportionate response to the April 19 proposal. On August 5, 2009, following our entry into the merger agreement with PepsiCo, PepsiCo voluntarily dismissed this action with prejudice.
Note 16 — Stockholders’ Rights Agreement
During the second quarter of 2009, the Company declared a dividend payable to stockholders of record on May 28, 2009, of one right (a “Right”) per each share of outstanding Common Stock and Class B Common Stock to purchase 1/1,000th of a share of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Preferred Stock”), at a price of $100 per share (the “Purchase Price”). In connection with the declaration of the dividend, the Company entered into a Rights Agreement, dated May 18, 2009 (the “Rights Agreement”), with Mellon Shareholder Services LLC, as the Rights Agent (“Mellon”).
22
Table of Contents
On August 3, 2009, the Company and PepsiCo entered into a Merger Agreement, under which PepsiCo will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock that it does not already own (the “Pending Merger”). On the same date, the Company and Mellon entered into Amendment 1 to the Rights Agreement (the “Rights Amendment”), which provides that none of the actions taken by PepsiCo in connection with the Pending Merger shall trigger the exercisability of the Rights. Additionally, the Rights Amendment provides that the Rights will expire if and when the Pending Merger is finalized.
Under the Rights Agreement, as amended, the Rights will become exercisable upon the earliest of (i) the date that a person or group other than PepsiCo has obtained beneficial ownership of more than 15 percent of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (ii) a date determined by the PBG Board of Directors after a person or group commences (or publicly discloses an intent to commence) a tender or exchange offer that would result in such person or group becoming the beneficial owner of more than 15 percent of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Except as provided under the Rights Amendment, the Rights will expire on May 18, 2010, unless earlier redeemed or canceled by the Company.
Each right, if and when it becomes exercisable, will entitle the holder (other than the person or group whose action triggered the exercisability of the Rights (the “Acquiring Person”)) to receive, upon exercise of the Right and the payment of the Purchase Price, that number of 1/1,000ths of a share of Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock which at the time of the applicable triggering transaction would have a market value of twice the Purchase Price.
In the event the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination that triggers the exercisability of the Rights, or 50 percent or more of the Company’s assets are sold in a transaction that triggers the exercisability of the Rights, each Right will entitle its holder (other than an Acquiring Person) to purchase common shares in the surviving entity at 50 percent of market price.

MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL REVIEW
Tabular dollars in millions, except per share data
OUR BUSINESS
The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc. is the world’s largest manufacturer, seller and distributor of Pepsi-Cola beverages and has the exclusive right to manufacture, sell and distribute Pepsi-Cola beverages in all or a portion of the U.S., Mexico, Canada, Spain, Russia, Greece and Turkey. 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 operate in one industry, carbonated soft drinks and other ready-to-drink beverages, and all of our segments derive revenue from these products. We manage and report operating results through three reportable segments – U.S. & Canada, Europe (which includes Spain, Russia, Greece and Turkey) 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.
Management’s Financial Review should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2008 included in our Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 16, 2009, which include additional information about our accounting policies, practices and the transactions that underlie our financial results. The preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes, including various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, taxes, environmental and other matters arising out of the normal course of business. We apply our best judgment, our knowledge of existing facts and circumstances and actions that we may undertake in the future in determining the estimates that affect our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis using our historical experience as well as other factors we believe appropriate under the circumstances, such as current economic conditions, and adjust or revise our estimates as circumstances change. As future events and their effect cannot be determined with precision, actual results may differ from these estimates.
OUR CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
As discussed in Item 7 included within the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 16, 2009, management believes the following policies, which require the use of estimates, assumptions and the application of judgment, to be the most critical to the portrayal of PBG’s financial condition and results of operations:
• | Other Intangible Assets, net and Goodwill; |
• | Pension and Postretirement Medical Benefit Plans; |
• | Casualty Insurance Costs; and |
• | Income Taxes. |

2008 Restructuring Actions
In the fourth quarter of 2008, we announced a restructuring program to enhance the Company’s operating capabilities in each of our reportable segments.
The program is expected to result in annual pre-tax savings of approximately $150 million to $160 million. The Company expects to record pre-tax charges of $140 million to $170 million over the course of the restructuring program. These charges are primarily for severance and related benefits, pension and other employee-related costs and other charges, including employee relocation and asset disposal costs. As part of the restructuring program, approximately 3,600 positions will be eliminated, including 800 positions in the U.S. & Canada, 600 positions in Europe and 2,200 positions in Mexico. Certain of the restructuring actions have been delayed due to the pending merger with PepsiCo, therefore, the restructuring actions may not be completed by the end of 2009, as originally intended.
Since the inception of the program, the Company incurred pre-tax charges of $102 million or $0.32 per diluted share. Of this amount, we recorded $5 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2009, of which $1 million was recorded in our U.S. & Canada segment, and $4 million was recorded in our Mexico segment. For the 36 weeks ended September 5, 2009, we recorded $19 million in pre-tax charges, or
25
Table of Contents
$0.06 per diluted share, of which $8 million was recorded in our U.S. & Canada segment, $10 million was recorded in our Mexico segment and $1 million was recorded in our Europe segment.
The Company expects to incur approximately $130 million in pre-tax cash expenditures from these restructuring actions, of which $60 million was paid since the inception of the program, with the balance expected to occur in 2009 and 2010. During the first 36 weeks of 2009, we paid $47 million in pre-tax cash expenditures for these restructuring actions.
For further information about our restructuring charges see Note 13 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Advisory Fees
On August 3, 2009, PBG and PepsiCo entered into a definitive merger agreement, under which PepsiCo will acquire all outstanding shares of PBG common stock it does not already own. In connection with this transaction, the Company has retained certain external advisors and expects to incur aggregate fees in the range of $40 million to $60 million. For the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 5, 2009, the Company has recorded pre-tax charges of $22 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, and $37 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, respectively, relating to these services.
For further information about the pending transaction with PepsiCo see Note 15 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Mark-to-Market Net Impact
The Company’s corporate headquarters centrally manages commodity derivatives on behalf of our segments. During 2009, we expanded our hedging program to mitigate price changes associated with certain commodities utilized in our production process. These derivatives hedge the underlying price risk associated with the commodity and are not entered into for speculative purposes. Certain commodity derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Others receive hedge accounting treatment but may have some element of ineffectiveness based on the accounting standard. These commodity derivatives are marked-to-market each period until settlement, resulting in gains and losses being reflected in corporate headquarters’ results. The gains and losses are subsequently reflected in the segment results when the underlying commodity’s cost is recognized. Therefore, segment results reflect the contract purchase price of these commodities. During the third quarter of 2009, the Company recognized a net gain of $4 million ($2 million after taxes and noncontrolling interest or $0.01 per diluted share) related to these commodity derivatives. The Company did not have any comparable activity in the prior year periods.
Tax Audit Settlements
During the first quarter of 2009, PBG recorded a net non-cash tax benefit of approximately $39 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, which was reflected in income tax expense. The benefit resulted from the settlement of U.S. audits with the IRS for our 2003-2005 tax years.
During the second quarter of 2009, the statute of limitations closed for our IRS audit in the U.S. for the 2003 and 2004 tax returns. In addition, we reached a settlement with the Canadian tax authorities on an issue related to the 1999-2005 tax years. As a result, we recorded a tax benefit related to these items of $54 million after noncontrolling interest, or $0.25 per diluted share.
During the third quarter of 2009, we settled various audits in our international jurisdictions, which resulted in a tax benefit of $40 million after noncontrolling interests, or $0.18 per diluted share.
For further information about our tax audit settlements see Note 11 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
2007 Restructuring Actions
In the third quarter of 2007, we announced a restructuring program to realign the Company’s organization to adapt to changes in the marketplace, improve operating efficiencies and enhance the growth potential of the Company’s product portfolio. During 2008, we completed the organizational realignment, which resulted in the elimination of approximately 800 positions. Annual cost savings from this
26
Table of Contents
restructuring program are approximately $30 million. Over the course of the program we incurred a pre-tax charge of $29 million. Of this amount, we recorded $3 million in the first half of 2008, primarily relating to relocation expenses in our U.S. & Canada segment.
Asset Disposal Charges
In the fourth quarter of 2007, we adopted a Full Service Vending (“FSV”) Rationalization plan to rationalize our vending asset base in our U.S. & Canada segment by disposing of older underperforming assets and redeploying certain assets to higher return accounts. Our FSV business portfolio consists of accounts where we stock and service vending equipment. This plan, which we completed in the second quarter of 2008, was part of the Company’s broader initiative designed to improve operating income margins of our FSV business. Over the course of the FSV Rationalization plan, we incurred a pre-tax charge of $25 million, the majority of which was non-cash, including costs associated with the removal of these assets from service, disposal costs and redeployment expenses. Of this amount, we incurred a pre-tax charge of $2 million associated with the FSV Rationalization plan in the first half of 2008. This charge was recorded in selling, delivery and administrative expenses.

Worldwide Financial Highlights for the 12 and 36 Weeks Ended September 5, 2009
Reported net revenues declined five percent in the third quarter and six percent for the first 36 weeks of 2009, driven by the negative impact from foreign currency translation and a decline in worldwide volume growth. This decline was partially offset by a four percentage point increase in net revenue per case on a currency neutral basis for both the quarter and year-to-date periods, driven primarily by rate increases in each of our segments. Reported net revenue per case declined three percent for the quarter and two percent year-to-date, which includes a negative impact of seven percentage points from foreign currency translation for both the quarter and year-to-date periods.
Reported gross profit declined seven percent in the third quarter and eight percent for the first 36 weeks of 2009, driven by the negative impact of foreign currency translation and volume declines. This was partially offset by improvement in gross profit per case on a currency neutral basis, as rate gains from the Company’s global pricing strategy and savings from productivity initiatives more than offset higher raw material costs. Currency neutral gross profit per case increased two percent for the both the quarter and
27
Table of Contents
year-to-date periods. Reported gross profit per case declined five percent for the quarter and four percent year-to-date, which includes a negative impact from foreign currency translation of seven percentage points for the quarter and six percentage points for the year-to-date period.
Reported selling, delivery and administrative expenses (“SD&A”) declined by eight percent in the third quarter and the first 36 weeks of 2009, driven by lower operating costs due to continued productivity improvements across all segments coupled with the favorable impact of foreign currency translation. Restructuring charges and advisory fees relating to the pending merger with PepsiCo resulted in an increase in reported SD&A growth by two percentage points for both the quarter and year-to-date periods. Foreign currency translation contributed six percentage points and seven percentage points to the decline in SD&A growth for the quarter and the first 36 weeks of 2009, respectively.
Reported operating income declined four percent in the third quarter and six percent for the first 36 weeks of 2009. Restructuring charges, advisory fees and mark-to-market gains resulted in a net reduction of operating income growth by five percent for the quarter and six percent year-to-date. Operating income for both the quarter and year-to-date periods benefited from margin increases, cost and productivity improvements and the positive impact from acquisitions, which was partially offset by volume declines and the negative impact of foreign currency translation. Foreign currency translation reduced operating income by nine percentage points and five percentage points for the quarter and the first 36 weeks of 2009, respectively.
Net income attributable to PBG for the third quarter was $254 million, which increased 10 percent versus the prior year. This increase includes a net after-tax gain of $17 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, resulting from the benefit of tax audit settlements and mark-to-market gains, less restructuring charges and advisory fees. These items contributed seven percentage points to the growth rate for the quarter. The remaining three percentage point increase for the quarter was driven by a lower effective tax rate and an improvement in operating results.
Net income attributable to PBG for the first 36 weeks of 2009 was $522 million, which increased 21 percent versus the prior year. This increase includes a net after-tax gain of $92 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, resulting from the benefit of tax audit settlements and mark-to-market gains, less restructuring charges and advisory fees. These items contributed 22 percent to the growth rate year-to-date. The remaining one percent decrease for the year was driven by higher interest costs, partially offset by a lower effective tax rate for the year and the benefit from foreign currency transactional gains.

U.S. & Canada
In our U.S. & Canada segment, volume decreased one percent for the quarter and two percent year-to-date, primarily due to the macroeconomic factors negatively impacting the liquid refreshment beverage category. For the quarter, volume growth benefited from our newly acquired rights to distribute Crush, Rockstar and Muscle Milk in the U.S., which contributed three percentage points of growth for both the quarter and year-to-date periods. Additionally, volume from our acquisitions contributed one percentage point of growth for both the quarter and the year-to-date periods.
Our take-home channel was flat for both the quarter and year-to-date periods. During the quarter, large format stores benefited from improving trends in our carbonated soft drink (“CSD”) portfolio. Our cold drink channel declined four percent in the quarter and five percent year-to-date. These declines were driven by our foodservice channel, including restaurants, travel and leisure, education and workplace, which have been particularly impacted by the economic downturn in the United States.
Europe
In our Europe segment, volume declined by five percent for the quarter and 10 percent year-to-date. Soft volume performance reflected the overall weak macroeconomic environment and category softness throughout Europe, driven by double digit declines in Russia.
Mexico
In our Mexico segment, volume increased one percent for the quarter and decreased four percent year-to-date. Volume gains for the quarter were driven by improving trends in our CSD portfolio versus the prior year. Volume declines for the first 36 weeks of 2009 were driven by difficult macroeconomics and category softness, coupled with pricing actions taken by the Company to drive improved margins across its portfolio.

U.S. & Canada
In our U.S. & Canada segment, net revenues were flat for both the quarter and year-to-date periods. The results for both the quarter and year-to-date periods reflect improvements in net pricing, partially offset by volume declines and the negative impact of foreign currency translation. Net revenue per case on a currency neutral basis improved by three percent for both the quarter and year-to-date periods, driven by rate increases to offset rising raw material costs and improve profitability. Reported net revenue per case increased two percent for both the quarter and year-to-date periods, which includes the negative impact from foreign currency translation of one percentage point for the quarter and two percentage points for the year-to-date period.
Europe
In our Europe segment, net revenues declined 17 percent for the quarter and 22 percent year-to-date, due primarily to the negative impact of foreign currency translation and volume declines. Growth in net revenue per case on a currency neutral basis of seven percent for the quarter and eight percent year-to-date was driven primarily by rate actions and disciplined promotional spending. Europe’s reported net revenue per case declined 13 percent for the quarter and 14 percent year-to-date, which includes the negative impact from foreign currency translation of 20 percentage points for the quarter and 22 percentage points for the year-to-date period.
Mexico
In our Mexico segment, declines in net revenues of 17 percent for the quarter were driven by the negative impact of foreign currency translation, partially offset by growth in volume and currency neutral net revenue per case. On a year-to-date basis, net revenue decreased 21 percent reflecting the negative impact of foreign currency translation and volume declines, partially offset by improvements in currency neutral net revenue per case. Net revenue per case on a currency neutral basis grew six percent for both the quarter and year-to-date periods, primarily due to rate increases to drive margin improvement. Mexico’s reported net revenue per case declined 18 percent for both the quarter and year-to-date periods, which includes a 24 percentage point negative impact from foreign currency translation for both the quarter and year-to-date periods.

U.S. & Canada
In our U.S. & Canada segment, operating income decreased seven percent for the quarter and two percent year-to-date, driven by the negative impact of items impacting comparability listed above, partially offset by an improvement in operating activities. Increases in operating activities were driven by cost and productivity savings and gross profit per case improvement, partially offset by volume declines.
On a currency neutral basis, gross profit per case improved one percent for the quarter and two percent year-to-date driven by growth in net revenue per case, which more than offset higher raw material costs. Reported gross profit per case was flat for both the quarter and year-to-date periods, which includes the negative impact from foreign currency translation of one percentage point for the quarter and two percentage points for the year-to-date period.

Table of Contents
SD&A increased one percent for the quarter and improved one percent year-to-date. Restructuring charges and advisory fees increased SD&A by three percentage points for the quarter and two percentage points for the year-to-date period. The remaining decline in SD&A expenses for both the quarter and year- to-date periods reflect lower costs resulting from productivity initiatives and volume declines coupled with a favorable impact from foreign currency translation. Foreign currency translation contributed one percentage point and two percentage points to the decline in SD&A growth for the quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively.
Europe
In our Europe segment, operating income was flat for the quarter and declined 15 percent year-to-date driven primarily by decreases in volume and the negative impact of foreign currency, partially offset by additional income from our equity investment in Russia.
Reported gross profit per case in Europe declined 15 percent for the quarter and 17 percent year-to-date, which includes the negative impact from foreign currency translation of 17 percentage points for the quarter and 20 percentage points for the year-to-date period. Gross profit per case on a currency neutral basis increased two percent for the quarter and three percent year-to-date driven by strong rate increases which offset higher raw material costs resulting from the foreign currency transactional impact for U.S. dollar denominated purchases.
SD&A in Europe improved 29 percent for the quarter and 27 percent year-to-date, which includes a benefit from foreign currency translation of 14 percentage points for the quarter and 18 percentage points for the year-to-date period. The remaining improvement in SD&A was driven by volume declines, lower costs resulting from productivity initiatives throughout Europe and income generated from our equity investment in Russia.
Mexico
In our Mexico segment, operating income declined five percent for the quarter and 29 percent year-to-date. Restructuring charges and the negative impact of foreign currency translation contributed 44 percentage points and 41 percentage points to the decline in operating income growth for the quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively. The remaining improvement in operating results for both the quarter and year-to-date periods were driven by improved pricing actions and lower costs resulting from productivity initiatives taken during 2009.
Reported gross profit per case declined 19 percent for the quarter and 20 percent year-to-date, which includes the negative impact from foreign currency translation of 24 percentage points for the quarter and 23 percentage points for the year-to-date period. Gross profit per case on a currency neutral basis increased five percent for the quarter and three percent year-to-date, reflecting solid margin management and cost savings from productivity initiatives, which offset rising raw material costs. Higher raw material costs were driven by the negative impact of foreign currency transactional costs resulting from U.S. dollar denominated purchases.
SD&A improved 21 percent for the quarter and 22 percent year-to-date which includes a 23 percentage point benefit from foreign currency translation for both the quarter and year-to-date periods. Restructuring charges increased SD&A by two percentage points for both the quarter and year-to-date periods. The remaining decrease in SD&A growth for the quarter and year-to-date was driven by improved route and cost productivity initiatives.
Corporate
Corporate primarily reflects a net gain of $4 million for both the quarter and year-to-date periods related to the mark-to-market of commodity derivatives used to hedge against price changes associated with certain commodities utilized primarily in our U.S. production process.
32
Table of Contents
Interest Expense, net
Net interest expense increased $2 million in the third quarter and $28 million on a year-to-date basis versus the prior year, largely due to higher debt levels associated with the issuance of $750 million of senior notes in January 2009 and the pre-funding of our February 2009 $1.3 billion debt maturity.
Other Non-operating Expenses (Income), net
During the quarter, other net non-operating expenses decreased by $5 million versus the prior year due to transactional losses incurred in Europe during the third quarter of 2008. On a year-to-date basis, net non-operating income increased $3 million versus the prior year, driven primarily by foreign currency transactional gains recorded in Europe.
Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests primarily reflects PepsiCo’s ownership in Bottling LLC of 6.6 percent, coupled with their 40 percent ownership in the PR Beverages venture in Russia. The increase of $13 million in the third quarter and $8 million on a year-to-date basis was primarily driven by higher income generated by the PR Beverages venture in Russia.
Income Tax Expense
Our effective tax rate for the 36 weeks ended September 5, 2009 was 6.9 percent compared with our effective tax rate of 30.0 percent for the 36 weeks ended September 6, 2008. The decrease in our 2009 effective tax rate was primarily driven by various tax audit settlements in our major jurisdictions, which resulted in a tax benefit of approximately $141 million. These audit settlements benefited our effective tax rate by approximately 21.7 percentage points. In addition, in 2009, we have certain tax planning strategies that are favorably impacting our tax provision, coupled with lower reserves and interest charges as a result of the tax audit settlements.
LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
Cash Flows
36 Weeks Ended September 5, 2009 vs. September 6, 2008
PBG generated $727 million of net cash from operations, an increase of $10 million from 2008. The increase in net cash provided by operations was driven primarily by the timing of disbursements and collections, partially offset by a $106 million pension contribution made in 2009.
Net cash used for investments was $538 million, a decrease of $817 million from 2008. The decrease in cash used for investments was due to $750 million of payments made in 2008 associated with our investment in JSC Lebedyansky (“Lebedyansky”), which included $142 million of restricted cash that was used for the remaining tender offer and lower capital expenditures in 2009. This was partially offset by higher acquisition spending and a loan made to Lebedyansky in 2009, which was contemplated as part of the initial capitalization of the purchase of Lebedyansky between PepsiCo and us.
Net cash used for financing activities was $454 million, an increase of $952 million from 2008. This increase in cash used for financing activities reflects the repayment of our $1.3 billion bond and lower proceeds from short-term borrowings, partially offset by the issuance of a $750 million bond in 2009 and higher share repurchases in 2008. Also reflected in financing activities in 2008 was $308 million of cash received from PepsiCo for their proportional share in the acquisition of Lebedyansky and Sobol-Aqua JSC by PR Beverages.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of cash include cash from our operating activities and the issuance of debt and bank borrowings. We believe that these cash inflows will be sufficient to fund capital expenditures, benefit plan contributions, acquisitions, share repurchases, dividends and working capital requirements for the foreseeable future. Our liquidity remains healthy and management does not expect that it will be materially impacted in the near-future.
We had no outstanding commercial paper as of September 5, 2009 and December 27, 2008.

Table of Contents
During the first quarter of 2009, we issued $750 million in senior notes, with a coupon rate of 5.125 percent, maturing in 2019. The net proceeds of the offering, together with a portion of the proceeds from the offering of our senior notes issued in the fourth quarter of 2008, were used to repay our senior notes due at their scheduled maturity on February 17, 2009. The next significant scheduled debt maturity is not until 2012.
On March 26, 2009, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved an increase in the Company’s quarterly dividend from $0.17 to $0.18 per share on the outstanding common stock of the Company. This action will result in a six percent increase in our quarterly dividend.
For the 36 weeks ended September 5, 2009, we made $106 million of contributions to the U.S. defined benefit pension trust. On September 15, 2009, we made an additional $105 million of contributions to the U.S. defined benefit pension trust.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are party to a variety of legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. While the results of these proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements, results of operations or cash flows.
For further information about our legal proceedings see Note 15 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes with respect to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2008 with the exception of the following:
Our pending merger with PepsiCo may cause disruption in our business and, if the pending merger does not occur, we will have incurred significant expenses, may need to pay a termination fee under the merger agreement and our stock price may decline.
On August 3, 2009, we entered into a merger agreement with PepsiCo and Pepsi-Cola Metropolitan Bottling Company, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of PepsiCo (“Metro”), pursuant to which the Company will merge with and into Metro, with Metro continuing as the surviving company and a wholly owned subsidiary of PepsiCo. Under the terms of the merger agreement, immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, each outstanding share of PBG common stock that is not owned by PepsiCo or any of its subsidiaries or held by the Company as treasury stock will be converted into the right to receive, at the holder’s election, either 0.6432 shares of common stock of PepsiCo or $36.50 in cash, without interest, subject to proration provisions which provide that an aggregate 50 percent of the outstanding PBG common stock will be converted into the right to receive common stock of PepsiCo and an aggregate 50 percent of the outstanding PBG common stock will be converted into the right to receive cash.
Each share of PBG common stock held by PBG as treasury stock, held by PepsiCo or held by Metro, and each share of PBG Class B common stock held by PepsiCo or Metro, in each case immediately prior to the effective time of the merge, will be canceled, and no payment will be made with respect thereto. Each share of PBG common stock and PBG Class B common stock owned by any subsidiary of PepsiCo other than Metro immediately prior to the effective time of the merger will automatically be converted into the right to receive 0.6432 of a share of PepsiCo common stock.
The announcement of the pending merger, whether or not consummated, may result in a loss of key personnel and may disrupt our sales and operations, which may have an impact on our financial performance. The merger agreement generally requires us to operate our business in the ordinary course pending consummation of the merger, but includes certain contractual restrictions on the conduct of our business that may affect our ability to execute on our business strategies and attain our financial goals. Additionally, the announcement of the pending merger, whether or not consummated, may impact our relationships with third parties.
The completion of the pending merger is subject to certain conditions, including, among others (i) adoption of the merger agreement by our shareholders, (ii) the absence of certain legal impediments to the consummation of the pending merger, (iii) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and obtaining antitrust approvals in certain other jurisdictions, (iv) subject to certain materiality exceptions, the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by us and PepsiCo, respectively, and compliance by us and PepsiCo with our and their respective obligations under the merger agreement, (v) declaration of the effectiveness by the Securities and Exchange Commission of the Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed by PepsiCo on October 1, 2009, and (vi) the non-occurrence a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the merger agreement) on PBG or PepsiCo.
If the merger agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, such as if our Board of Directors fails to recommend adoption of the merger agreement to our shareholders or to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain shareholder approval or if our Board of Directors recommends a different Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the merger agreement), then we would be required to pay PepsiCo a termination fee of approximately $165 million.

Table of Contents
We cannot predict whether the closing conditions for the pending merger set forth in the merger agreement will be satisfied. As a result, we cannot assure you that the pending merger will be completed. If the closing conditions for the pending merger set forth in the merger agreement are not satisfied or waived pursuant to the merger agreement, or if the transaction is not completed for any other reason, the market price of our common stock may decline. In addition, if the pending merger does not occur, we will nonetheless remain liable for significant expenses that we have incurred related to the transaction.
Additionally, we and members of our Board of Directors have been named in a number of lawsuits relating to the pending merger as more fully described in Note 15 — “Contingencies” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These lawsuits or any future lawsuits may be time consuming and expensive.
These matters, alone or in combination, could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.
