Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Description of Business Coca‑Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated (the “Company”) produces, markets and distributes nonalcoholic beverages, primarily products of The Coca‑Cola Company, and is the largest independent Coca‑Cola bottler in the United States. The Company manages its business on the basis of four operating segments and two reporting segments. Piedmont Coca-Cola Bottling Partnership (“Piedmont”) is the Company’s only subsidiary with significant noncontrolling interest. Piedmont distributes and markets nonalcoholic beverages in portions of North Carolina and South Carolina. The Company provides a portion of the nonalcoholic beverage products to Piedmont at cost and receives a fee for managing the operations of Piedmont pursuant to a management agreement. Refer to Note 2 for additional information. As part of The Coca‑Cola Company’s plans to refranchise its North American bottling territories, the Company is engaged in a multi-year series of transactions with The Coca‑Cola Company and Coca‑Cola Refreshments, Inc. (“CCR”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Coca‑Cola Company, to expand its distribution operations significantly through the acquisition both of rights to serve additional distribution territories previously served by CCR and of related distribution assets. Refer to Note 3 for additional information. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Fiscal Year The Company’s fiscal year generally ends on the Sunday closest to December 31 of each year. The fiscal years presented are: • The 52-week period ended January 1, 2017 (“2016”) • The 53-week period ended January 3, 2016 (“2015”); and • The 52-week period ended December 28, 2014 (“2014”). Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash in banks and cash equivalents, which are highly liquid debt instruments with maturities of less than 90 days. The Company maintains cash deposits with major banks, which, from time to time, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company periodically assesses the financial condition of the institutions and believes the risk of any loss is minimal. Accounts Receivable, Trade The Company sells its products to mass merchandise retailers, supermarkets retailers, convenience stores and other customers and extends credit, generally without requiring collateral, based on an ongoing evaluation of the customer’s business prospects and financial condition. The Company’s trade accounts receivable are typically collected within 30 days from the date of sale. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The Company evaluates the collectibility of its trade accounts receivable based on a number of factors, including the specific industry in which a particular customer operates. When the Company becomes aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to the Company, a specific reserve for bad debts is estimated and recorded to reduce the recognized receivable to the estimated amount the Company believes will ultimately be collected. In addition to specific customer identification of potential bad debts, an allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded based on the Company’s recent past loss history and an overall assessment of past due trade accounts receivable outstanding. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out method for finished products and manufacturing materials and on the average cost method for plastic shells, plastic pallets and other inventories. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements on operating leases are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful lives or the term of the lease, including renewal options the Company determines are reasonably assured. Additions and major replacements or betterments are added to the assets at cost. Maintenance and repair costs and minor replacements are charged to expense when incurred. When assets are replaced or otherwise disposed, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the gains or losses, if any, are reflected in the statement of operations. Gains or losses on the disposal of manufacturing equipment and manufacturing facilities are included in cost of sales. Gains or losses on the disposal of all other property, plant and equipment are included in selling, delivery and administrative (“S,D&A”) expenses. The Company evaluates the recoverability of the carrying amount of its property, plant and equipment when events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. These evaluations are performed at a level where independent cash flows may be attributed to either an asset or an asset group. If the Company determines the carrying amount of an asset or asset group is not recoverable based upon the expected undiscounted future cash flows of the asset or asset group, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the excess of the carrying amounts over the estimated fair value of the long-lived assets. Leased Property Under Capital Leases Leased property under capital leases is depreciated using the straight-line method over the lease term. Internal Use Software The Company capitalizes costs incurred in the development or acquisition of internal use software. The Company expenses costs incurred in the preliminary project planning stage. Costs, such as maintenance and training, are also expensed as incurred. Capitalized costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Amortization expense, which is included in depreciation expense, for internal-use software was $10.9 million in 2016, $9.3 million in 2015 and $7.6 million in 2014. Franchise Rights and Goodwill All business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if facts and circumstances indicate such assets may be impaired. Franchise rights and goodwill are the only intangible assets the Company classifies as indefinite lived. The Company performs its annual impairment test as of the first day of the fourth quarter each year. For both franchise rights and goodwill, when appropriate, the Company performs a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the franchise rights or goodwill is below its carrying value. When a quantitative analysis is considered necessary for the annual impairment analysis of franchise rights, the Company utilizes the Greenfield Method to estimate the fair value. The Greenfield Method assumes the Company is new, owning only franchise rights, and making investments required to build an operation comparable to the Company’s current operations. The Company estimates the cash flows required to build a comparable operation and the available future cash flows from these operations. The cash flows are then discounted using an appropriate discount rate. The estimated fair value based upon the discounted cash flows is compared to the carrying value on an aggregated basis to determine whether an impairment is needed. The Company has determined it has one reporting unit, within the Nonalcoholic Beverages reportable segment, for the purpose of assessing goodwill for potential impairment. The Company uses its overall market capitalization as part of its estimate of fair value of the reporting unit and in assessing the reasonableness of the Company’s internal estimates of fair value. When a quantitative analysis is considered necessary for the annual impairment analysis of goodwill, the Company develops an estimated fair value for the reporting unit considering three different approaches: • market value, using the Company’s stock price plus outstanding debt; • discounted cash flow analysis; and • multiple of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization based upon relevant industry data. The estimated fair value of the reporting unit is then compared to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value exceeds the carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired, and the second step of the impairment test is not necessary. If the carrying amount, including goodwill, exceeds its estimated fair value, the second step of the impairment test is performed to measure the amount of the impairment, if any. In the second step, a comparison is made between the book value of goodwill and the implied fair value of goodwill. Implied fair value of goodwill is determined by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to the book value of its net identifiable assets, excluding goodwill. To estimate the implied fair value of goodwill for a reporting unit, the Company assigns the fair value of the assets and liabilities associated with the reporting unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Any excess of the carrying value of goodwill of the reporting unit over its implied fair value is recorded as an impairment. To the extent the actual and projected cash flows decline in the future or if market conditions significantly deteriorate, the Company may be required to perform an interim impairment analysis that could result in an impairment of franchise rights or goodwill. Other Identifiable Intangible Assets Other identifiable intangible assets primarily represent customer relationships and distribution rights, and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Acquisition Related Contingent Consideration Liability The acquisition related contingent consideration liability consists of the estimated amounts due to The Coca‑Cola Company under the Comprehensive Beverage Agreements (“CBAs”) over the remaining useful life of the related distribution rights intangible assets. Under the CBAs, the Company is required to make quarterly sub-bottling payments on a continuing basis for the grant of exclusive rights to distribute, promote, market and sell specified covered beverages and related products, as defined in the agreements, in certain acquired territories. The quarterly sub-bottling payment is based on sales of certain beverages and beverage products sold under the same trademarks that identify a covered beverage, related product or certain cross-licensed brands, as defined in the CBAs. Each reporting period, the Company evaluates future cash flows associated with its acquired territories and the associated discount rate to determine the fair value of the contingent consideration. These cash flows represent the Company’s best estimate of amounts which will be paid to The Coca‑Cola Company under the CBAs over the remaining life of certain distribution rights intangible assets. The discount rate represents the Company’s weighted average cost of capital at the reporting date of the fair value calculation. Changes in the fair value of the acquisition related contingent consideration are included in “Other income (expense)” on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans The Company has a noncontributory pension plan covering certain nonunion employees and a noncontributory pension plan covering certain union employees. Costs of the plans are charged to current operations and include several components of net periodic pension cost based on actuarial assumptions regarding future expectations of the plans. In addition, certain other union employees are covered by plans provided by their respective union organizations and the Company expenses amounts as paid in accordance with union agreements. The Company recognizes the cost of postretirement benefits, which consist primarily of medical benefits, during employees’ periods of active service. Amounts recorded for benefit plans reflect estimates related to interest rates, investment returns, employee turnover and health care costs. The discount rate assumptions used to determine the pension and postretirement benefit obligations are based on yield rates available on double-A bonds as of each plan’s measurement date. Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to operating losses and tax credit carryforwards, as well as differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance will be provided against deferred tax assets if the Company determines it is more likely than not such assets will not ultimately be realized. The Company does not recognize a tax benefit unless it concludes that it is more likely than not that the benefit will be sustained on audit by the taxing authority based solely on the technical merits of the associated tax position. If the recognition threshold is met, the Company recognizes a tax benefit measured at the largest amount of the tax benefit that, in the Company’s judgment, is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized. The Company records interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. Revenue Recognition Revenues are recognized when finished products are delivered to customers and both the title and the risks and benefits of ownership are transferred, price is fixed and determinable, collection is reasonably assured and, in the event of full service vending, when cash is collected from the vending machines. Appropriate provisions are made for uncollectible accounts. The Company receives service fees from The Coca‑Cola Company for the delivery of fountain syrup products to The Coca‑Cola Company’s fountain customers and for the repair of fountain equipment owned by The Coca‑Cola Company. These service fees are recognized as revenue when the respective services are completed. Service revenue represents approximately one percent of net sales, and is presented within the Nonalcoholic Beverages segment. In addition to delivering its own products, the Company performs freight hauling and brokerage for third parties. The freight charges are recognized as revenue when the delivery is complete. Freight revenue from third parties represents approximately two percent of net sales, and is presented within the All Other segment. Revenues do not include sales or other taxes collected from customers. Marketing Programs and Sales Incentives The Company participates in various marketing and sales programs with The Coca‑Cola Company, other beverage companies and customers to increase the sale of its products. In addition, coupon programs are deployed on a territory-specific basis. The cost of these various marketing programs and sales incentives with The Coca‑Cola Company and other beverage companies, included as deductions to net sales, totaled $117.0 million in 2016, $71.4 million in 2015 and $61.7 million. Programs negotiated with customers include arrangements under which allowances can be earned for attaining agreed-upon sales levels and/or for participating in specific marketing programs. Marketing Funding Support The Company receives marketing funding support payments in cash from The Coca‑Cola Company and other beverage companies. Payments to the Company for marketing programs to promote the sale of bottle/can volume and fountain syrup volume are recognized as a reduction of cost of sales, primarily on a per unit basis, as the product is sold. Payments for periodic programs are recognized in the period during which they are earned. Cash consideration received by a customer from a vendor is presumed to be a reduction of the price of the vendor’s products or services. As such, the cash received is accounted for as a reduction of cost of sales unless it is a specific reimbursement of costs or payments for services. Payments the Company receives from The Coca‑Cola Company and other beverage companies for marketing funding support are classified as reductions of cost of sales. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company uses derivative financial instruments, with the intent of reducing risk over time, to manage its exposure to movements in interest rates and certain commodity prices. The Company does not use financial instruments for trading purposes, and it does not use leveraged financial instruments. Credit risk related to the derivative financial instruments is managed by requiring high credit standards for its counterparties and periodic settlements. The Company records all derivative instruments in the consolidated financial statements at fair value. Commodity Hedges The Company uses derivative instruments to hedge some or all of its projected purchases of aluminum and of diesel fuel and unleaded gasoline for the Company’s delivery fleet and other vehicles. The Company generally pays a fee for these instruments, which is amortized over the corresponding period of the instrument. The Company accounts for its commodity hedges on a mark-to-market basis with any expense or income reflected as an adjustment of related costs which are included in either cost of sales or S,D&A expenses. Risk Management Programs The Company uses various insurance structures to manage its workers’ compensation, auto liability, medical and other insurable risks. These structures consist of retentions, deductibles, limits and a diverse group of insurers that serve to strategically transfer and mitigate the financial impact of losses. The Company uses commercial insurance for claims as a risk reduction strategy to minimize catastrophic losses. Losses are accrued using assumptions and procedures followed in the insurance industry, adjusted for company-specific history and expectations. Cost of Sales Cost of sales includes raw material costs, manufacturing labor, manufacturing overhead including depreciation expense, manufacturing warehousing costs and shipping and handling costs related to the movement of finished goods from manufacturing locations to sales distribution centers. Selling, Delivery and Administrative Expenses S,D&A expenses include sales management labor costs, distribution costs from sales distribution centers to customer locations, sales distribution center warehouse costs, depreciation expense related to sales centers, delivery vehicles and cold drink equipment, point-of-sale expenses, advertising expenses, cold drink equipment repair costs, amortization of intangibles and administrative support labor and operating costs such as treasury, legal, information services, accounting, internal control services, human resources and executive management costs. Shipping and Handling Costs Shipping and handling costs related to the movement of finished goods from manufacturing locations to sales distribution centers are included in cost of sales. Shipping and handling costs related to the movement of finished goods from sales distribution centers to customer locations are included in S,D&A expenses and were $314.3 million in 2016, $222.9 million in 2015 and $211.6 million in 2014. Delivery fees charged by the Company are used to offset a portion of the Company’s delivery and handling costs. The fees are recorded net sales and are presented within the Nonalcoholic Beverages segment. There were delivery fees of $6.0 million in 2016, $6.3 million in 2015 and $6.2 million in 2014 recorded to net sales. Stock Compensation with Contingent Vesting In April 2008, the stockholders of the Company approved a Performance Unit Award Agreement for J. Frank Harrison, III, the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, consisting of 400,000 performance units (“Units”). Each Unit represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s Class B Common Stock, subject to certain terms and conditions. The Units are subject to vesting in annual increments over a ten-year period starting in fiscal year 2009. The number of Units that vest each year will be equal the product of 40,000 multiplied by the overall goal achievement factor, not to exceed 100%, under the Company’s Annual Bonus Plan. Each annual 40,000 unit tranche has an independent performance requirement that is not established until the Company’s Annual Bonus Plan targets are approved during the first quarter of each year by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. As a result, each 40,000 unit tranche is considered to have its own service inception date, grant-date and requisite service period. The Performance Unit Award Agreement does not entitle Mr. Harrison, to participate in dividends or voting rights until each installment has vested and related shares are issued. Mr. Harrison may satisfy tax withholding requirements in whole or in part by requiring the Company to settle in cash such a number of units otherwise payable in Class B Common Stock to meet the maximum statutory tax withholding requirements. The Company recognizes compensation expense over the requisite service period (one fiscal year) based on the Company’s stock price at the end of each accounting period, unless the achievement of the performance requirement for the fiscal year is considered unlikely. See Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information on Mr. Harrison’s stock compensation program. Net Income Per Share The Company applies the two-class method for calculating and presenting net income per share. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock according to dividends declared or accumulated and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Under this method: (a) Income from continuing operations (“net income”) is reduced by the amount of dividends declared in the current period for each class of stock and by the contractual amount of dividends that must be paid for the current period. (b) The remaining earnings (“undistributed earnings”) are allocated to Common Stock and Class B Common Stock to the extent each security may share in earnings as if all the earnings for the period had been distributed. The total earnings allocated to each security is determined by adding together the amount allocated for dividends and the amount allocated for a participation feature. (c) The total earnings allocated to each security is then divided by the number of outstanding shares of the security to which the earnings are allocated to determine the earnings per share for the security. (d) Basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) data are presented for each class of common stock. In applying the two-class method, the Company determined undistributed earnings should be allocated equally on a per share basis between the Common Stock and Class B Common Stock due to the aggregate participation rights of the Class B Common Stock (i.e., the voting and conversion rights) and the Company’s history of paying dividends equally on a per share basis on the Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. Under the Company’s certificate of incorporation, the Board of Directors may declare dividends on Common Stock without declaring equal or any dividends on the Class B Common Stock. Notwithstanding this provision, Class B Common Stock has voting and conversion rights that allow the Class B Common Stock to participate equally on a per share basis with the Common Stock. The Class B Common Stock is entitled to 20 votes per share and the Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share with respect to each matter to be voted upon by the stockholders of the Company. Except as otherwise required by law, the holders of the Class B Common Stock and Common Stock vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to the Company’s stockholders, including the election of the Board of Directors. As a result, the holders of the Class B Common Stock control approximately 86% of the total voting power of the stockholders of the Company and control the election of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has declared and the Company has paid dividends on the Class B Common Stock and Common Stock and each class of common stock has participated equally in all dividends declared by the Board of Directors and paid by the Company since 1994. The Class B Common Stock conversion rights allow the Class B Common Stock to participate in dividends equally with the Common Stock. The Class B Common Stock is convertible into Common Stock on a one-for-one per share basis at any time at the option of the holder. Accordingly, the holders of the Class B Common Stock can participate equally in any dividends declared on the Common Stock by exercising their conversion rights. Basic EPS excludes potential common shares that were dilutive and is computed by dividing net income available for common stockholders by the weighted average number of Common and Class B Common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS for Common Stock and Class B Common Stock gives effect to all securities representing potential common shares that were dilutive and outstanding during the period. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 “Disclosure of Uncertainties About An Entity’s Ability To Continue As A Going Concern,” which specifies the responsibility an entity’s management has to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods ending after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2016 and there was no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15 “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,” which addresses presentation and classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows, with the objective to reduce diversity in practice. The amendment applicable to the Company addresses contingent consideration payments made after a business combination and states (1) cash payments made soon after an acquisition’s consummation date should be classified as cash outflows for investing activities; (2) cash payments made thereafter should be classified as cash outflows for financing activities up to the amount of the original contingent consideration; and (3) cash payments made in excess of the original contingent consideration liability should be classified as cash outflows for operating activities. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period, however if an entity elects to early adopt one amendment, it must adopt all amendments included in the guidance. The Company adopted the new pronouncements in the third quarter of 2016 and there was no impact on the consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-03 “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (“ASU 2015-03”). ASU 2015-03 requires all cost incurred to issue debt be presented in the balance sheet as a direct reduction from the carrying value of the debt. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015‑15 “Presentation And Subsequent Measurement Of Debt Issuance Costs Associated With Line-Of-Credit Arrangements, Amendments To SEC Paragraphs Pursuant To Staff Announcement At June 18, 2015 EITF Meeting.” ASU 2015-15 clarified that an entity can present debt issuance costs of a line-of-credit arrangement as an asset regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. The new guidance was effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The standard was retrospectively adopted by the Company on January 4, 2016, and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. At January 3, 2016, $3.1 million and $1.1 million of debt issuance costs were reclassified to long-term debt from other assets and prepaid expenses and other current assets, respectively. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04 “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” which eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. The new guidance is effective for the annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this guidance will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01 “Clarifying the Definition of a Business,” which clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements will depend on the facts and circumstances of any specific future transactions. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09 “Improvements To Employees Share Based Payment Accounting,” which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee-share based transactions including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “Leases.” The new guidance requires lessees to recognize a right-to-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all leases (other than leases meeting the definition of a short-term lease). The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods beginning the following year. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Additionally, the Company is evaluating the impacts of the standard beyond accounting, including system, data and process changes required to comply with the standard. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01 “Recognition And Measurement Of Financial Assets And Financial Liabilities.” The new guidance revises the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and the presentation of certain fair value changes in financial liabilities measured at fair value. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2017. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11 “Simplifying The Measurement of Inventory.” The new guidance requires an entity to measure most inventory “at lower of cost and net realizable value” thereby simplifying the current guidance under which an entity must measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Over the past several years, the FASB has issued several accounting standards for revenue recognition: • ASU 201

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions and Divestitures	3. Acquisitions and Divestitures Since April 2013, as a part of The Coca‑Cola Company’s plans to refranchise its North American bottling territories, the Company has engaged in a series of transactions with The Coca‑Cola Company and Coca‑Cola Refreshments USA, Inc. (“CCR”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Coca‑Cola Company, to expand the Company’s distribution operations significantly through the acquisition of rights to serve additional distribution territories previously served by CCR (the “Expansion Territories”) and of related distribution assets (the “Distribution Territory Expansion Transactions”). During 2015, the Company completed the remaining Distribution Territory Expansion Transactions announced as part of the April 2013 letter of intent signed with The Coca‑Cola Company. These completed acquisitions include Expansion Territories in parts of Tennessee, Kentucky and Indiana. On May 12, 2015, the Company and The Coca‑Cola Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the “May 2015 LOI”) pursuant to which CCR would in two phases (i) grant the Company certain exclusive rights for the distribution, promotion, marketing and sale of The Coca‑Cola Company-owned and -licensed products in additional territories served by CCR and (ii) sell the Company certain assets that included rights to distribute those cross‑licensed brands distributed in the territories by CCR as well as the assets used by CCR in the distribution of the cross‑licensed brands and The Coca‑Cola Company brands. The major markets that would be served by the Company as part of the expansion contemplated by the May 2015 LOI include: Baltimore, Maryland; Alexandria, Norfolk and Richmond, Virginia; the District of Columbia; Cincinnati, Columbus and Dayton, Ohio; and Indianapolis, Indiana. On September 23, 2015, the Company and CCR entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “September 2015 APA”) for the first phase of the additional distribution territory contemplated by the May 2015 LOI including: (i) eastern and northern Virginia, (ii) the entire state of Maryland, (iii) the District of Columbia, and (iv) parts of Delaware, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Following is a summary of key closing dates for the transactions covered by the September 2015 APA: • October 30, 2015 – The first closing under the September 2015 APA occurred for territories served by distribution facilities in Norfolk, Fredericksburg and Staunton, Virginia and Elizabeth City, North Carolina. • January 29, 2016 – The second closing under the September 2015 APA occurred for territories served by distribution facilities in Easton and Salisbury, Maryland and Richmond and Yorktown, Virginia. • April 1, 2016 – The third closing under the September 2015 APA occurred for territories served by distribution facilities in Alexandria, Virginia and Capitol Heights and La Plata, Maryland. • April 29, 2016 – The final closing for under the September 2015 APA occurred for territories served by distribution facilities in Baltimore, Hagerstown and Cumberland, Maryland. The May 2015 LOI contemplated that The Coca‑Cola Company would work collaboratively with the Company and certain other expanding participating bottlers in the U.S. to implement a national product supply system. As a result of subsequent discussions with The Coca‑Cola Company, on September 23, 2015, the Company and The Coca‑Cola Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the “September 2015 LOI”) pursuant to which CCR would sell six manufacturing facilities (“Regional Manufacturing Facilities”) and related manufacturing assets (collectively, “Manufacturing Assets”) to the Company as the Company becomes a regional producing bottler (“Regional Producing Bottler”) in the national product supply system (the “Manufacturing Facility Expansion Transactions” and, together with the Distribution Territory Expansion Transactions, the “Expansion Transactions”). Similar to, and as an integral part of, the Distribution Territory Expansion Transactions described in the May 2015 LOI, the September 2015 LOI contemplated that the sale of the Manufacturing Assets by CCR to the Company would be accomplished in two phases: (i) the first phase would include three Regional Manufacturing Facilities located in Sandston, Virginia; Silver Spring, Maryland; and Baltimore, Maryland that serve certain of the distribution territories acquired by the Company under the September 2015 APA and (ii) the second phase would include three Regional Manufacturing Facilities located in Indianapolis, Indiana; Portland, Indiana; and Cincinnati, Ohio that serve the distribution territories in central and southern Ohio, northern Kentucky and parts of Indiana and Illinois.

On September 1, 2016, the Company and CCR entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “September 2016 Distribution APA”) for the second phase of the additional distribution territory contemplated by the May 2015 LOI and for a portion of the additional distribution territory contemplated by the CCR June 2016 LOI, including territories located in (i) central and southern Ohio, (ii) northern Kentucky, (iii) large portions of Indiana and (iv) parts of Illinois and West Virginia that are currently served by CCR. Following is a summary of key closing dates for the transactions covered by the September 2016 Distribution APA: • October 28, 2016 – The first closing under the September 2016 Distribution APA occurred for territories served by distribution facilities in Cincinnati, Dayton, Lima and Portsmouth, Ohio. • January 27, 2017 – Subsequent to the end of 2016, the second closing under the September 2016 Distribution APA occurred for territories served by distribution facilities in Anderson, Fort Wayne, Lafayette, South Bend and Terre Haute, Indiana. On September 1, 2016, the Company and CCR also entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “September 2016 Manufacturing APA”) for the second phase of the Regional Manufacturing Facility acquisitions contemplated by the September 2015 LOI, including Regional Manufacturing Facilities located in Indianapolis, Indiana; Portland, Indiana; and Cincinnati, Ohio that serve the distribution territories in central and southern Ohio, northern Kentucky and parts of Indiana and Illinois to be acquired by the Company under the September 2016 Distribution APA. On October 28, 2016, the first closing under the September 2016 Manufacturing APA occurred for the Cincinnati, Ohio facility. At the closings of each of the Distribution Territory Expansion Transactions (excluding the exchange for the Lexington Expansion Territory, as described below), the Company signed a Comprehensive Beverage Agreement (“CBA”) with The Coca‑Cola Company and CCR for each of the applicable Expansion Territories which has a term of ten years and is automatically renewed for successive additional terms of ten years unless the Company gives notice to terminate at least one year prior to the expiration of a ten-year term or unless earlier terminated as provided therein. Under the CBAs, the Company makes a quarterly sub-bottling payment to CCR on a continuing basis for the grant of exclusive rights to distribute, promote, market and sell specified covered beverages and related products, as defined in the agreements. The quarterly sub-bottling payment, which is accounted for as contingent consideration, is based on sales of certain beverages and beverage products that are sold under the same trademarks that identify a covered beverage, related product or certain cross-licensed brands (as defined in the CBAs). The CBAs impose certain obligations on the Company with respect to serving the Expansion Territories and failure to meet these obligations could result in termination of a CBA if the Company fails to take corrective measures within a specified time frame. 2014 Expansion Territories On May 23, 2014, the Company acquired distribution rights and related assets for the Johnson City and Morristown, Tennessee territory, and on October 24, 2014, the Company acquired distribution rights and related assets for the Knoxville, Tennessee territory from CCR. The cash purchase price for the 2014 Expansion Territories was $43.1 million, which includes all post-closing adjustments. 2015 Expansion Territories During 2015, the Company acquired distribution rights and related assets for the following territories: Cleveland and Cookeville, Tennessee; Louisville, Kentucky and Evansville, Indiana; Paducah and Pikeville, Kentucky; Norfolk, Fredericksburg and Staunton, Virginia; and Elizabeth City, North Carolina (the “2015 Expansion Territories”). The Company also acquired a make-ready center in Annapolis, Maryland in 2015. During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company made certain measurement period adjustments as a result of purchase price changes to reflect the revised opening balance sheets for the Cleveland and Cookeville, Tennessee and Louisville, Kentucky and Evansville, Indiana territories. The details of the transactions are included below. Cleveland and Cookeville, Tennessee Territory Acquisitions On December 5, 2014, the Company and CCR entered into an asset purchase agreement related to the territory served by CCR through CCR’s facilities and equipment located in Cleveland and Cookeville, Tennessee (the “January 2015 Expansion Territory”).

The Company mitigates its financing risk by using multiple financial institutions and only entering into credit arrangements with institutions with investment grade credit ratings. The Company monitors counterparty credit ratings on an ongoing basis. In October 2014, the Company entered into a five-year unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), and in April 2015, the Company exercised an accordion feature which established a $450 million aggregate maximum borrowing capacity on the Revolving Credit Facility. The $450 million borrowing capacity includes up to $50 million available for the issuance of letters of credit. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a floating base rate or a floating Eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin, dependent on the Company’s credit rating at the time of borrowing. At the Company’s current credit ratings, the Company must pay an annual facility fee of 0.15% of the lenders’ aggregate commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility has a scheduled maturity date of October 16, 2019. In June 2016, the Company entered into a five-year term loan agreement for a senior unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) in the aggregate principal amount of $300 million, maturing June 7, 2021. The Company may request additional term loans under the agreement, provided the Company’s aggregate borrowings under the Term Loan Facility do not exceed $500 million. Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility bear interest at a floating base rate or a floating Eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin, dependent on the Company’s credit rating, at the Company’s option. The Company used $210 million of the proceeds from the Term Loan Facility to repay outstanding indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company then used the remaining proceeds, as well as borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, to repay the $164.8 million of Senior Notes that matured on June 15, 2016. Both the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facility include two financial covenants: a consolidated cash flow/fixed charges ratio and a consolidated funded indebtedness/cash flow ratio, each as defined in the respective agreements.

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Financial Instruments	11. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company is subject to the risk of increased costs arising from adverse changes in certain commodity prices. In the normal course of business, the Company manages these risks through a variety of strategies, including the use of derivative instruments. The Company does not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. All derivative instruments are recorded at fair value as either assets or liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. These derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments under GAAP and are used as “economic hedges” to manage certain commodity price risk. Derivative instruments held are marked to market on a monthly basis and recognized in earnings consistent with the expense classification of the underlying hedged item. Settlements of derivative agreements are included in cash flows from operating activities on the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company uses several different financial institutions for commodity derivative instruments to minimize the concentration of credit risk. While the Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by these counterparties, the Company does not anticipate nonperformance by these parties. The following summarizes pre-tax changes in the fair value of the Company’s commodity derivative financial instruments and the classification of such changes in the consolidated statements of operations. Fiscal Year (in thousands) Classification of Gain (Loss) 2016 2015 2014 Commodity hedges Cost of sales $ 2,896 $ (2,354 ) $ - Commodity hedges Selling, delivery and administrative expenses 1,832 (1,085 ) - Total gain (loss) $ 4,728 $ (3,439 ) $ - The following table summarizes the fair values and classification in the consolidated balance sheets of derivative instruments held by the Company.

Accordingly, the net amounts of derivative assets are recognized in either prepaid expenses and other current assets or other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and the net amounts of derivative liabilities are recognized in other accrued liabilities or other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The following table summarizes the Company’s gross derivative assets and gross derivative liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets: (in thousands) January 1, 2017 January 3, 2016 Gross derivative assets $ 1,297 $ 222 Gross derivative liabilities 8 3,661 The following table summarizes the Company’s outstanding commodity derivative agreements: (in thousands) January 1, 2017 January 3, 2016 Notional amount of outstanding commodity derivative agreements $ 13,146 $ 64,884 Latest maturity date of outstanding commodity derivative agreements December 2017 December 2017

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Values of Financial Instruments	12. Fair Values of Financial Instruments GAAP requires assets and liabilities carried at fair value to be classified and disclosed in one of the following categories: • Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. • Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair values of its financial instruments. There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Levels in any period presented. Financial Instrument Fair Value Level Method and Assumptions Deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities Level 1 The fair values of the Company's non-qualified deferred compensation plan for certain executives and other highly compensated employees has associated assets and liabilities, which are held in mutual funds and are based on the quoted market value of the securities held within the mutual funds. Commodity hedging agreements Level 2 The fair values for the Company’s commodity hedging agreements are based on current settlement values at each balance sheet date. The fair values of the commodity hedging agreements at each balance sheet date represent the estimated amounts the Company would have received or paid upon termination of these agreements. Credit risk related to the derivative financial instruments is managed by requiring high standards for its counterparties and periodic settlements. The Company considers nonperformance risk in determining the fair value of derivative financial instruments. Public debt securities Level 2 The fair values of the Company’s public debt securities are based on estimated current market prices. Non-public variable rate debt Level 2 The carrying amounts of the Company’s variable rate borrowings approximate their fair values due to variable interest rates with short reset periods. Acquisition related contingent consideration Level 3 The fair values of acquisition related contingent consideration are based on internal forecasts and the weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) derived from market data. The following tables summarize, by assets and liabilities, the carrying amounts and fair values by level of the Company’s deferred compensation plan, commodity hedging agreements, debt and acquisition related contingent consideration.

This acquisition related contingent consideration is valued using a probability weighted discounted cash flow model based on internal forecasts and the WACC derived from market data, which are considered Level 3 inputs. Each reporting period, the Company adjusts its contingent consideration liability related to the territory expansion to fair value by discounting future expected sub-bottling payments required under the CBAs using the Company’s estimated WACC. These future expected sub-bottling payments extend through the life of the related distribution assets acquired in each expansion territory, which is generally 40 The acquisition related contingent consideration is the Company’s only Level 3 asset or liability. A reconciliation of the activity is as follows: Fiscal Year (in thousands) 2016 2015 Opening balance $ 136,570 $ 46,850 Increase due to acquisitions 133,857 109,784 Decrease due to measurement period adjustments - (18,396 ) Payment/current payables (15,080 ) (5,244 ) Fair value adjustment - (income) expense (1,910 ) 3,576 Ending balance $ 253,437 $ 136,570 The Company recorded a favorable fair value adjustment to the contingent consideration liability of $1.9 million during 2016 and an unfavorable fair value adjustment to the contingent consideration liability of $3.6 million during 2015. All adjustments to fair value were primarily a result of updated projections and changes in the risk-free interest rate. These adjustments were recorded in other income (expense) on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	14. Commitments and Contingencies Leases The Company leases office and warehouse space, machinery and other equipment under noncancellable operating lease agreements which expire at various dates through 2030. These leases generally contain scheduled rent increases or escalation clauses, renewal options, or in some cases, purchase options. The Company also leases certain warehouse space and other equipment under capital lease agreements which expire at various dates through 2030. These leases contain scheduled rent increases or escalation clauses. Amortization of assets recorded under capital leases is included in depreciation expense. Rental expense incurred for noncancellable operating leases was $13.6 million in 2016, $8.9 million in 2015 and $7.6 million in 2014. See Note 6 and Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information on leased property under capital leases. The following is a summary of future minimum lease payments, including renewal options the Company has determined to be reasonably assured, for all noncancellable operating leases and capital leases as of January 1, 2017: (in thousands) Capital Operating Leases Total 2017 $ 10,495 $ 11,141 $ 21,636 2018 10,421 9,211 19,632 2019 10,149 8,371 18,520 2020 10,328 8,432 18,760 2021 5,933 8,074 14,007 Thereafter 12,081 32,805 44,886 Total minimum lease payments including interest $ 59,407 $ 78,034 $ 137,441 Less: Amounts representing interest 10,686 Present value of minimum lease principal payments 48,721 Less: Current portion of principal payment obligations under capital leases 7,527 Long-term portion of principal payment obligations under capital leases $ 41,194 Manufacturing Cooperatives The Company is a shareholder of South Atlantic Canners, Inc. (“SAC”), a manufacturing cooperative in Bishopville, South Carolina from which it is obligated to purchase 17.5 million cases of finished product on an annual basis through June 2024. All eight shareholders of the cooperative are Coca‑Cola bottlers and each has equal voting rights. The Company receives a fee for managing the day-to-day operations of SAC pursuant to a management agreement. The Company purchased 29.9 million cases, 28.3 million cases and 25.9 million cases of finished product from SAC in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company is also a shareholder of Southeastern Container (“Southeastern”), a plastic bottle manufacturing cooperative from which it is obligated to purchase at least 80% of its requirements of plastic bottles for certain designated territories. The Company has an equity ownership in both SAC and Southeastern. Following is a summary of purchases from these manufacturing cooperatives: Fiscal Year (in thousands) 2016 2015 2014 Purchases from SAC $ 149,878 $ 144,511 $ 132,635 Purchases from Southeastern 80,123 63,257 67,966 Total purchases from manufacturing cooperatives $ 230,001 $ 207,768 $ 200,601 The Company guarantees a portion of SAC’s and Southeastern’s debt, which resulted primarily from the purchase of production equipment and facilities and expires at various dates through 2023. The amounts guaranteed were as follows: (in thousands) January 1, 2017 January 3, 2016 Guaranteed portion of debt - SAC $ 23,297 $ 19,057 Guaranteed portion of debt - Southeastern 9,277 11,467 Total guaranteed portion of debt - manufacturing cooperatives $ 32,574 $ 30,524 In the event either of these cooperatives fails to fulfill its commitments under the related debt, the Company would be responsible for payments to the lenders up to the level of the guarantees. The following table summarizes the Company’s maximum exposure under these guarantees if these cooperatives had borrowed up to their aggregate borrowing capacity: January 1, 2017 (in thousands) South Atlantic Canners, Inc. Southeastern Container Total Manufacturing Cooperatives Maximum guaranteed debt $ 23,938 $ 25,251 $ 49,189 Equity investments* 4,102 17,501 21,603 Maximum total exposure, including equity investments $ 28,040 $ 42,752 $ 70,792 * NOTE: Recorded in other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets using the equity method. The members of both cooperatives consist solely of Coca‑Cola bottlers. The Company does not anticipate either of these cooperatives will fail to fulfill its commitments. The Company further believes each of these cooperatives has sufficient assets, including production equipment, facilities and working capital, and the ability to adjust selling prices of its products to adequately mitigate the risk of material loss from the Company’s guarantees. Following is a summary of the cooperatives’ 2016 financial results: (in thousands) South Atlantic Canners, Inc. Southeastern Container Total assets $ 53,417 $ 279,830 Total debt 23,109 111,202 Total revenues 204,144 527,609 The Company holds no assets as collateral against the SAC or Southeastern guarantees, the fair value of which is immaterial to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company monitors its investments in SAC and Southeastern and would be required to write down its investment if an impairment was identified and the Company determined it to be other than temporary. No impairment of the Company’s investments in SAC or Southeastern has been identified as of January 1, 2017, and there was no impairment in 2016, 2015 or 2014. Other Commitments and Contingencies The Company has standby letters of credit, primarily related to its property and casualty insurance programs. These letters of credit totaled $29.7 million on January 1, 2017 and $26.9 million on January 3, 2016. The Company participates in long-term marketing contractual arrangements with certain prestige properties, athletic venues and other locations. The future payments related to these contractual arrangements as of January 1, 2017 amounted to $81.7 million and expire at various dates through 2026. The Company is involved in various claims and legal proceedings which have arisen in the ordinary course of its business. Although it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of these claims and legal proceedings, management believes the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, cash flows or results of operations of the Company. No material amount of loss in excess of recorded amounts is believed to be reasonably possible as a result of these claims and legal proceedings. The Company is subject to audits by tax authorities in jurisdictions where it conducts business. These audits may result in assessments that are subsequently resolved with the authorities or potentially through the courts. Management believes the Company has adequately provided for any assessments likely to result from these audits; however, final assessments, if any, could be different than the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes	15. Income Taxes The current income tax provision represents the estimated amount of income taxes paid or payable for the year, as well as changes in estimates from prior years. The deferred income tax provision represents the change in deferred tax liabilities and assets. The following table presents the significant components of the provision for income taxes: Fiscal Year (in thousands) 2016 2015 2014 Current: Federal $ (6,920 ) $ 20,107 $ 13,153 State 27 3,563 2,163 Total current provision (benefit) $ (6,893 ) $ 23,670 $ 15,316 Deferred: Federal $ 39,644 $ 10,638 $ 3,638 State 3,298 (230 ) 582 Total deferred provision (benefit) $ 42,942 $ 10,408 $ 4,220 Income tax expense $ 36,049 $ 34,078 $ 19,536 The Company’s effective income tax rate, as calculated by dividing income tax expense by income before income taxes, for 2016, 2015 and 2014 was 38.9%, 34.4% and 35.1%, respectively. The following table provides a reconciliation of income tax expense at the statutory federal rate to actual income tax expense. Fiscal Year 2016 2015 2014 (in thousands) Income tax expense % pre-tax income Income tax expense % pre-tax income Income tax expense % pre-tax income Statutory expense $ 32,449 35.0 % $ 34,692 35.0 % $ 19,474 35.0 % State income taxes, net of federal benefit 3,243 3.5 3,496 3.5 2,133 3.8 Noncontrolling interest – Piedmont (2,406 ) (2.6 ) (2,261 ) (2.3 ) (1,835 ) (3.3 ) Adjustment for uncertain tax positions (43 ) - 51 0.1 30 0.1 Adjustment for state tax legislation (625 ) (0.7 ) (1,145 ) (1.2 ) - - Valuation allowance change (689 ) (0.7 ) (1,332 ) (1.3 ) 1,203 2.2 Bargain purchase gain - - (704 ) (0.7 ) - - Capital loss carryover - - - - (854 ) (1.5 ) Manufacturing deduction benefit (56 ) (0.1 ) (1,330 ) (1.3 ) (1,470 ) (2.6 ) Meals and entertainment 1,879 2.0 1,666 1.7 1,204 2.2 Other, net 2,297 2.5 945 0.9 (349 ) (0.8 ) Income tax expense $ 36,049 38.9 % $ 34,078 34.4 % $ 19,536 35.1 % The Company’s effective tax rate, as calculated by dividing income tax expense by income before income taxes less net income attributable to noncontrolling interest, for 2016, 2015 and 2014 was 41.8%, 36.6% and 38.4%, respectively. During 2015, a state legislation target threshold was met that caused a reduction to the corporate tax rate in that state to 4.0% from 5.0%, effective January 1, 2016. This reduction in the state corporate tax rate decreased the Company’s income tax expense by approximately $1.1 million in 2015 due to the impact on the Company’s net deferred tax liabilities and valuation allowance. During 2016, the Company revalued its existing net deferred tax liabilities for the effects on the state corporate tax rate applied to deferred taxes which resulted from the 2016 Expansion Transactions. The net impact of this revaluation was an increase to the recorded income tax expense of $0.8 million. Also during 2016, a state tax legislation target was met that caused a reduction to the corporate tax rate in that state to 3.0% from 4.0%, effective January 1, 2017. This reduction in the state corporate tax rate resulted in a decrease to the Company’s recorded income tax expense of $0.6 million due to the Company revaluing its net deferred tax liabilities. The impact of these two revaluations was a net increase to the recorded income tax expense of $0.2 million in 2016. The gain on the exchange of franchise territory and the sale of BYB did not have a significant impact on the effective income tax rate for 2015. The Company records liabilities for uncertain tax positions related to certain income tax positions. These liabilities reflect the Company’s best estimate of the ultimate income tax liability based on currently known facts and information. Material changes in facts or information, as well as the expiration of statute and/or settlements with individual tax jurisdictions, may result in material adjustments to these estimates in the future. The Company recognizes potential interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. During 2016, 2015 and 2014, the interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions recognized in income tax expense were not material. In addition, the amount of interest and penalties accrued at January 1, 2017 and January 3, 2016 were not material. As of January 1, 2017 and January 3, 2016, the Company had $2.9 million of uncertain tax positions, including accrued interest, all of which would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. While it is expected the amount of uncertain tax positions may change in the next 12 months, the Company does not expect such change would have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. The Company reduced its liability for uncertain tax positions in 2016, 2015 and 2014, primarily as a result of the expiration of applicable statutes of limitation. These reductions resulted in corresponding decreases to income tax expense. A reconciliation of uncertain tax positions, excluding accrued interest, is as follows: Fiscal Year (in thousands) 2016 2015 2014 Gross uncertain tax positions at the beginning of the year $ 2,633 $ 2,620 $ 2,630 Increase as a result of tax positions taken during a prior period - - - Decrease as a result of tax positions taken during a prior period - - - Increase as a result of tax positions taken in the current period 687 547 498 Reduction as a result of the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (641 ) (534 ) (508 ) Gross uncertain tax positions at the end of the year $ 2,679 $ 2,633 $ 2,620 Deferred income taxes are recorded based upon temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and available net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Temporary differences and carryforwards that comprised deferred income tax assets and liabilities were as follows: (in thousands) January 1, 2017 January 3, 2016 Acquisition related contingent consideration $ 97,573 $ 52,306 Deferred compensation 44,185 44,402 Postretirement benefits 32,656 27,086 Accrued liabilities 21,666 21,853 Pension (nonunion) 17,381 18,257 Transactional costs 7,155 5,879 Capital lease agreements 5,817 6,105 Charitable contribution carryover 4,409 - Pension (union) 3,162 3,290 Net operating loss carryforwards 2,148 3,121 Other 111 - Deferred income tax assets $ 236,263 182,299 Less: Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets 1,618 2,307 Net deferred income tax asset $ 234,645 $ 179,992 Intangible assets $ (204,661 ) $ (169,338 ) Depreciation (134,872 ) (95,262 ) Investment in Piedmont (45,128 ) (43,109 ) Inventory (13,814 ) (9,928 ) Prepaid expenses (6,300 ) (4,615 ) Patronage dividend (4,724 ) (4,046 ) Debt exchange premium - (204 ) Other - (434 ) Deferred income tax liabilities $ (409,499 ) $ (326,936 ) Net deferred income tax liability $ (174,854 ) $ (146,944 ) Valuation allowances are recognized on deferred tax assets if the Company believes it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company believes the majority of the deferred tax assets will be realized due to the reversal of certain significant temporary differences and anticipated future taxable income from operations. The valuation allowance of $1.6 million as of January 1, 2017 and $2.3 million as of January 3, 2016 was established primarily for certain loss carryforwards which expire in varying amounts through 2035. The reduction in the valuation allowance as of January 1, 2017, was a result of the Company’s assessment of its ability to use certain loss carryforwards. The reduction in the valuation allowance as of January 3, 2016, was a result of the Company’s assessment of its ability to use certain loss carryforwards primarily related to the sale of BYB. As of January 1, 2017, the Company had $1.6 million of federal net operating losses and $39.8 million of state net operating losses available to reduce future income taxes. The federal net operating losses would expire in varying amounts through 2032. The state net operating losses would expire in varying amounts through 2035. Prior tax years beginning in year 2002 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, and various tax years beginning in year 1998 remain open to examination by certain state tax jurisdictions due to loss carryforwards. The Company’s deferred income tax assets and liabilities are subject to adjustment in future periods based on the Company’s ongoing evaluations of such deferred assets and liabilities and new information available to the Company.

Equity [Abstract]
Capital Transactions	17. Capital Transactions The Company has two classes of common stock outstanding, Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. The Common Stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market sm No cash dividend or dividend of property or stock other than stock of the Company, as specifically described in the Company’s certificate of incorporation, may be declared and paid on the Class B Common Stock unless an equal or greater dividend is declared and paid on the Common Stock. During 2016, 2015 and 2014, dividends of $1.00 per share were declared and paid on both Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. Total cash dividends paid were $9.3 million per year in 2016, 2015 and 2014. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share and each share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to 20 votes per share at all meetings of shareholders. Except as otherwise required by law, holders of the Common Stock and Class B Common Stock vote together as a single class on all matters brought before the Company’s stockholders. In the event of liquidation, there is no preference between the two classes of common stock. Compensation expense for the Performance Unit Award Agreement, recognized on the share price of the last trading day prior to the end of the fiscal year, was as follows: Fiscal Year (in thousands, except per share data) 2016 2015 2014 Total compensation expense $ 7,154 $ 7,300 $ 3,542 Share price for compensation expense $ 178.85 $ 182.51 $ 88.55 Share price date for compensation expense December 30, 2016 December 31, 2015 December 26, 2014 Each year, the Compensation Committee determined whether any shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock should be issued as a Performance Unit Award Agreement to J. Frank Harrison, III, in connection with his services for the prior year as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. As permitted under the terms of the Performance Unit Award Agreement, a number of shares were settled in cash each year to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of the performance units. The remaining number of shares increased the total shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding. A summary of the awards each year is as follows: Fiscal Year 2016 2015 2014 Date of approval for award March 8, 2016 March 3, 2015 March 4, 2014 Fiscal year of service covered by award 2015 2014 2013 Shares settled in cash 19,080 19,080 19,100 Increase in Class B Common Stock shares outstanding 20,920 20,920 20,900 Total Class B Common Stock awarded 40,000 40,000 40,000

Benefit Plans	18. Benefit Plans Executive Benefit Plans The Company has four executive benefit plans: the Supplemental Savings Incentive Plan (“Supplemental Savings Plan”), the Long-Term Retention Plan (“LTRP”), the Officer Retention Plan (“Retention Plan”) and the Long-Term Performance Plan (“Performance Plan”). Pursuant to the Supplemental Savings Plan, as amended, eligible participants may elect to defer a portion of their annual salary and bonus. Participants are immediately vested in all deferred contributions they make and become fully vested in Company contributions upon completion of five years of service, termination of employment due to death, retirement or a change in control. Participant deferrals and Company contributions made in years prior to 2006 are invested in either a fixed benefit option or certain investment funds specified by the Company. Beginning in 2010, the Company may elect at its discretion to match up to 50% of the first 6% of salary, excluding bonuses, deferred by the participant. During 2016, 2015 and 2014, the Company matched up to 50% of the first 6% of salary, excluding bonus, deferred by the participant. The Company may also make discretionary contributions to participants’ accounts. The liability under this plan was as follows: (in thousands) January 1, 2017 January 3, 2016 Current liabilities $ 7,339 $ 6,425 Noncurrent liabilities 70,709 69,941 Total liability - Supplemental Savings Plan $ 78,048 $ 76,366 Under the LTRP, the Company accrues a defined amount each year for an eligible participant based upon an award schedule. Amounts awarded may earn an investment return based on certain investment funds specified by the Company. Benefits under the LTRP are 50% vested until age 50. After age 50, the vesting percentage increases by 5% each year until the benefits are fully vested at age 60. Participants receive payments from the plan upon retirement or in certain instances upon termination of employment. Payments are made in the form of a monthly annuity over a period of ten, fifteen or twenty years. The liability under this plan was as follows: (in thousands) January 1, 2017 January 3, 2016 Current liabilities $ 2 $ 1 Noncurrent liabilities 1,256 535 Total liability - LTRP $ 1,258 $ 536 Under the Retention Plan, as amended effective January 1, 2007, eli g (in thousands) January 1, 2017 January 3, 2016 Current liabilities $ 3,359 $ 2,395 Noncurrent liabilities 44,480 45,111 Total liability - Retention Plan $ 47,839 $ 47,506 Under the Performance Plan, adopted as of January 1, 2007, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors establishes dollar amounts to which a participant shall be entitled upon attainment of the applicable performance measures. Bonus awards under the Performance Plan are made based on the relative achievement of performance measures in terms of the Company-sponsored objectives or objectives related to the performance of the individual participants or of the subsidiary, division, department, region or function in which the participant is employed. The liability under this plan was as follows: (in thousands) January 1, 2017 January 3, 2016 Current liabilities $ 5,282 $ 5,025 Noncurrent liabilities 5,651 5,571 Total liability - Performance Plan $ 10,933 $ 10,596 Pension Plans There are two Company-sponsored pension plans. The primary Company-sponsored pension plan (the “Primary Plan”) was frozen as of June 30, 2006 and no benefits accrued to participants after this date. The second Company-sponsored pension plan (the “Bargaining Plan”) is for certain employees under collective bargaining agreements. Benefits under the pension plan for collectively bargained employees are determined in accordance with negotiated formulas for the respective participants. Contributions to the plans are based on actuarial determined amounts and are limited to the amounts currently deductible for income tax purposes. Each year, the Company updates its mortality assumptions used in the calculation of its pension liability using The Society of Actuaries’ latest mortality tables. In 2014, the mortality table reflected increased longevity in the United States, whereas in 2015 and 2016, the mortality table reflected a lower increase in longevity. The following tables set forth pertinent information for the two Company-sponsored pension plans: Changes in Projected Benefit Obligation Fiscal Year (in thousands) 2016 2015 Projected benefit obligation at beginning of year $ 261,469 $ 279,669 Service cost 461 116 Interest cost 12,182 11,875 Actuarial (gain)/loss 8,268 (21,883 ) Benefits paid (9,232 ) (8,308 ) Projected benefit obligation at end of year $ 273,148 $ 261,469 The discount rate for the Primary Plan and the Bargaining Plan decreased to 4.44% and 4.49%, respectively, in 2016 from 4.72% for both Company-sponsored pension plans in 2015, which was the primary driver of the actuarial loss in 2016. The discount rate increased to 4.72% for both Company-sponsored pension plans in 2015 from 4.32% and 4.31% for the Primary Plan and the Bargaining Plan, respectively, in 2014, which was the primary driver in the actuarial gain in 2015. The actuarial gain and losses, net of tax, were recorded in other comprehensive loss. The projected benefit obligations and accumulated benefit obligations for both the Company’s pension plans were in excess of plan assets at January 1, 2017 and January 3, 2016. The accumulated benefit obligation was $273.1 million as of January 1, 2017 and $261.5 million as of January 3, 2016.

Plan Assets The Company’s pension plans target asset allocation for 2017, actual asset allocation at January 1, 2017 and January 3, 2016, and the expected weighted average long-term rate of return by asset category were as follows: Target Percentage of Plan Weighted Average Expected Allocation Assets at Fiscal Year-End Long-Term Rate of Return 2017 2016 2015 2016 U.S. large capitalization equity securities 40 % 41 % 40 % 3.3 % U.S. small/mid-capitalization equity securities 5 % 5 % 5 % 0.4 % International equity securities 15 % 15 % 15 % 1.3 % Debt securities 40 % 39 % 40 % 1.5 % Total 100 % 100 % 100 % 6.5 % All assets in the Company’s pension plans are invested in institutional investment funds managed by professional investment advisors which hold U.S. equities, international equities and debt securities. The objective of the Company’s investment philosophy is to earn the plans’ targeted rate of return over longer periods without assuming excess investment risk. The general guidelines for plan investments include 30% - 45% in large capitalization equity securities, 0% - 20% in U.S. small and mid-capitalization equity securities, 0% - 10% in international equity securities and 10% - 50% in debt securities. The Company currently has 61% of its plan investments in equity securities and 39% in debt securities. U.S. large capitalization equity securities include domestic based companies that are generally included in common market indices such as the S&P 500™ and the Russell 1000™. U.S. small and mid-capitalization equity securities include small domestic equities as represented by the Russell 2000™ index. International equity securities include companies from developed markets outside the United States. Debt securities as of January 1, 2017 are comprised of investments in two institutional bond funds with a weighted average duration of approximately three years. A weighted average expected long-term rate of return of plan assets of 6.5% was used to determine net periodic pension cost in both 2016 and 2015. The rate reflects an estimate of long-term future returns for the pension plan assets net of expenses. The estimate is primarily a function of the asset classes, equities versus fixed income, in which the pension plan assets are invested and the analysis of past performance of these asset classes over a long period of time. The analysis includes expected long-term inflation and the risk premiums associated with equity investments and fixed income investments. The following table summarizes the Company’s common/collective trust fund pension plan assets. The underlying investments held in common/collective trust funds are actively managed equity securities and fixed income investment vehicles that are valued at the net asset value per share multiplied by the number of shares held as of the measurement date. (in thousands) January 1, 2017 January 3, 2016 Common/collective trust funds - equity securities $ 139,735 $ 128,220 Common/collective trust funds - fixed income 87,814 85,158 Total common/collective trust funds $ 227,549 $ 213,378 In addition, the Company had $0.7 million of other level 1 pension plan assets related to its equity securities in both 2016 and 2015. The level 1 assets had quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets available for fair value measurement. The Company does not have any unobservable inputs (Level 3) pension plan assets. 401(k) Savings Plan The Company provides a 401(k) Savings Plan for substantially all its employees who are not part of collective bargaining agreements. The Company’s matching contribution is discretionary, with the option to match contributions for eligible participants up to 5% based on the Company’s financial results for future years. During 2016, 2015, and 2014, the Company matched the maximum 5% of participants’ contributions, for a total expense of $14.9 million, $10.7 million and $8.8 million, respectively. Postretirement Benefits The Company provides postretirement benefits for a portion of its current employees. The Company recognizes the cost of postretirement benefits, which consist principally of medical benefits, during employees’ periods of active service. The Company does not pre-fund these benefits and has the right to modify or terminate certain of these benefits in the future. The following tables set forth pertinent information for the Company’s postretirement benefit plan: Reconciliation of Activity Fiscal Year (in thousands) 2016 2015 Benefit obligation at beginning of year $ 70,361 $ 70,121 Service cost 1,567 1,118 Interest cost 3,094 2,878 Acquisition of benefits 3,458 - Plan participants’ contributions 662 594 Actuarial (gain)/loss 9,152 (1,600 ) Benefits paid (3,135 ) (2,886 ) Medicare Part D subsidy reimbursement 96 136 Benefit obligation at end of year $ 85,255 $ 70,361 Reconciliation of Plan Assets Fair Value Fiscal Year (in thousands) 2016 2015 Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year $ - $ - Employer contributions 2,377 2,156 Plan participants’ contributions 662 594 Benefits paid (3,135 ) (2,886 ) Medicare Part D subsidy reimbursement 96 136 Fair value of plan assets at end of year $ - $ - Funded Status (in thousands) January 1, 2017 January 3, 2016 Current liabilities $ 3,468 $ 3,401 Noncurrent liabilities 81,787 66,960 Total liability - postretirement benefits $ 85,255 $ 70,361 Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost Fiscal Year (in thousands) 2016 2015 2014 Service cost $ 1,567 $ 1,118 $ 1,445 Interest cost 3,094 2,878 3,255 Recognized net actuarial loss 2,186 3,164 2,293 Amortization of prior service cost (3,360 ) (3,360 ) (1,513 ) Net periodic postretirement benefit cost $ 3,487 $ 3,800 $ 5,480 Significant Assumptions Fiscal Year 2016 2015 2014 Benefit obligation discount rate at measurement date 4.36 % 4.53 % 4.13 % Net periodic postretirement benefit cost discount rate for fiscal year 4.53 % 4.13 % 4.96 % Postretirement benefit expense - Pre-Medicare: Weighted average health care cost trend rate 6.2 % 7.5 % 8.0 % Trend rate graded down to ultimate rate 4.5 % 5.0 % 5.0 % Ultimate rate year 2024 2021 2021 Postretirement benefit expense - Post-Medicare: Weighted average health care cost trend rate 7.5 % 7.0 % 7.5 % Trend rate graded down to ultimate rate 4.5 % 5.0 % 5.0 % Ultimate rate year 2024 2021 2021 A 1% increase or decrease in the annual health care cost trend would have impacted the postretirement benefit obligation and service cost and interest cost of the Company’s postretirement benefit plan as follows: (in thousands) 1% Increase 1% Decrease Postretirement benefit obligation at January 1, 2017 $ 10,441 $ (9,976 ) Service cost and interest cost in 2016 550 (521 ) Cash Flows (in thousands) Anticipated Future Postretirement Benefit Payments Reflecting Expected Future Service 2017 $ 3,468 2018 3,878 2019 4,252 2020 4,495 2021 4,708 2022 – 2026 26,507 Anticipated future postretirement benefit payments are shown net of Medicare Part D subsidy reimbursements, which are not material.

The collective bargaining agreements covering the Teamsters Plan will expire on April 29, 2017 and July 26, 2018. The risks of participating in the Teamsters Plan are different from single-employer plans as contributed assets are pooled and may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers. If a participating employer stops contributing to the Teamsters Plan, the unfunded obligations of the Teamsters Plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers. If the Company chooses to stop participating in the Teamsters Plan, the Company could be required to pay the Teamsters Plan a withdrawal liability based on the underfunded status of the Teamsters Plan. The Company does not anticipate withdrawing from the Teamsters Plan. In 2015, the Company increased the contribution rates to the Teamsters Plan, with additional increases occurring annually, as part of a rehabilitation plan. This is a result of the Teamsters Plan being certified by its actuary as being in “critical” status for the plan year beginning January 1, 2013, which was incorporated into the renewal of collective bargaining agreements with the unions, effective April 28, 2014 and adopted by the Company as a rehabilitation plan, effective January 1, 2015. The Company’s participation in the Teamsters Plan is outlined in the table below. A red zone represents less than 80% funding and requires a financial improvement plan (“FIP”) or rehabilitation plan (“RP”).

At the date these financial statements were issued, Forms 5500 were not available for the plan year ending December 31, 2016. The Company has a liability recorded for exiting a multi-employer pension plan in 2008 and is required to make payments of approximately $1 million to this multi-employer pension plan each year through 2028. As of January 1, 2017, the Company has $8.1 million remaining on this liability.

The Company continues to distribute Tum-E Yummies following the sale. Total sales to CCR for Tum-E Yummies were $14.8 million in 2015 and $22.0 million in 2014. As discussed above in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company and CCR have entered into, and closed the following asset purchase agreements relating to certain territories previously served by CCR’s facilities and equipment located in these territories: Expansion Territories Definitive Agreement Date Acquisition / Exchange Date Johnson City and Morristown, Tennessee May 7, 2014 May 23, 2014 Knoxville, Tennessee August 28, 2014 October 24, 2014 Cleveland and Cookeville, Tennessee December 5, 2014 January 30, 2015 Louisville, Kentucky and Evansville, Indiana December 17, 2014 February 27, 2015 Paducah and Pikeville, Kentucky February 13, 2015 May 1, 2015 Norfolk, Fredericksburg and Staunton, Virginia and Elizabeth City, North Carolina September 23, 2015 October 30, 2015 Easton and Salisbury, Maryland and Richmond and Yorktown, Virginia September 23, 2015 January 29, 2016 Alexandria, Virginia and Capitol Heights and La Plata, Maryland September 23, 2015 April 1, 2016 Baltimore, Hagerstown and Cumberland, Maryland September 23, 2015 April 29, 2016 Cincinnati, Dayton, Lima and Portsmouth, Ohio and Louisa, Kentucky September 1, 2016 October 28, 2016 Regional Manufacturing Facilities Definitive Agreement Date Acquisition Date Sandston, Virginia October 30, 2015 January 29, 2016 Silver Spring and Baltimore, Maryland October 30, 2015 April 29, 2016 Cincinnati, Ohio September 1, 2016 October 28, 2016 As part of the distribution territory closings under these asset purchase agreements, the Company signed CBAs which have terms of ten years and are renewable by the Company indefinitely for successive additional terms of ten years each unless earlier terminated as provided therein. Under the CBAs, the Company makes a quarterly sub-bottling payment to CCR on a continuing basis for the grant of exclusive rights to distribute, promote, market and sell the authorized brands of The Coca‑Cola Company and related products in the Expansion Territories. The quarterly sub-bottling payment will be based on sales of certain beverages and beverage products that are sold under the same trademarks that identify a covered beverage, beverage product or certain cross-licensed brands. The liability recorded by the Company to reflect the estimated fair value of contingent consideration related to future sub-bottling payments was $253.4 million as of January 1, 2017, and $136.6 million as of January 3, 2016. Payments to CCR under the CBAs were $13.5 million, $4.0 million and $0.2 million during 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. On October 17, 2014, the Company entered into an asset exchange agreement with CCR, pursuant to which the Company exchanged its facilities and equipment located in Jackson, Tennessee for territory previously served by CCR’s facilities and equipment located in Lexington, Kentucky. This transaction closed on May 1, 2015. As part of the Expansion Transactions, on October 30, 2015, the Company acquired from CCR a “make-ready center” in Annapolis, Maryland for $5.4 million, which includes all post-closing adjustments. The Company recorded a bargain purchase gain of $2.0 million on this transaction after applying a deferred tax liability of approximately $1.3 million. The Company uses the make-ready center to deploy and refurbish vending and other sales equipment for use in the marketplace. Coca‑Cola Bottlers’ Sales and Services Company, LLC (“CCBSS”) Along with all other Coca‑Cola bottlers in the United States, including CCR, the Company is a member of CCBSS. CCBSS was formed in 2003 for the purpose of facilitating various procurement functions and distributing certain specified beverage products of The Coca‑Cola Company with the intention of enhancing the efficiency and competitiveness of the Coca‑Cola bottling system in the United States. CCBSS negotiates the procurement for the majority of the Company’s raw materials, excluding concentrate, and the Company receives a rebate from CCBSS for the purchase of these raw materials. As of January 1, 2017 and January 3, 2016, the Company had rebates due from CCBSS of $7.4 million and $5.9 million, respectively. In addition, the Company pays an administrative fee to CCBSS for its services. In 2016, 2015 and 2014, the Company incurred $1.3 million, $0.7 million, and $0.5 million in administrative fees to CCBSS, respectively. National Product Supply Group (“NPSG”) In October 2015, the Company, The Coca‑Cola Company and three other Coca‑Cola bottlers, including CCR, who are considered “Regional Producing Bottlers” (“RPBs”) in The Coca‑Cola Company’s national product supply system, entered into the NPSG Governance Agreement. Pursuant to the NPSG Governance Agreement, The Coca‑Cola Company and the RPBs have formed a national product supply group (the “NPSG”) and agreed to certain binding governance mechanisms, including a governing board (the “NPSG Board”) comprised of a representative of (i) the Company, (ii) The Coca‑Cola Company and (iii) each other RPB. As The Coca‑Cola Company continues its multi-year refranchising effort of its North American bottling territories, additional RPBs may be added to the NPSG Board. As of January 2017, the NPSG Board consisted of The Coca‑Cola‑Company, the Company and five other RPBs, including CCR. The stated objectives of the NPSG include, among others, (i) Coca‑Cola system strategic infrastructure investment and divestment planning; (ii) network optimization of all plant to distribution center sourcing; and (iii) new product/packaging infrastructure planning. The NPSG Board makes and/or oversees and directs certain key decisions regarding the NPSG, including decisions regarding the management and staffing of the NPSG and the funding for its ongoing operations. The Company is obligated to pay a certain portion of the costs of operating the NPSG. Pursuant to the decisions of the NPSG Board made from time to time and subject to the terms and conditions of the NPSG Governance Agreement, the Company and each other Regional Producing Bottler will make investments in their respective manufacturing assets and will implement Coca‑Cola system strategic investment opportunities consistent with the NPSG Governance Agreement. CONA Services LLC (“CONA”) The Company is a member of CONA, an entity formed with The Coca‑Cola Company and certain Coca‑Cola bottlers to provide business process and information technology services to its members. Under the CONA limited liability agreement executed January 27, 2016 (as amended or restated from time to time, the “CONA LLC Agreement”), the Company and other members of CONA are required to make capital contributions to CONA if and when approved by CONA’s board of directors, which is comprised of representatives of the members. The Company currently has the right to designate one of the members of CONA’s board of directors and has a percentage interest in CONA of approximately 19%. During 2016, the Company made $7.9 million of capital contributions to CONA. The Company is a party to a Master Services Agreement (the “Master Services Agreement”) with CONA, pursuant to which CONA agreed to make available, and the Company became authorized to use, the Coke One North America system (the “CONA System”), a uniform information technology system developed to promote operational efficiency and uniformity among North American Coca‑Cola bottlers. Pursuant to the Master Services Agreement, CONA agreed to make available, and authorized the Company to use, the CONA System in connection with the distribution, sale, marketing and promotion of non-alcoholic beverages the Company is authorized to distribute under its comprehensive beverage agreements or any other agreement with The Coca‑Cola Company (the “Beverages”) in the territories the Company serves (the “Territories”), subject to the provisions of the CONA LLC Agreement and any licenses or other agreements relating to products or services provided by third-parties and used in connection with the CONA System. As part of making the CONA System available to the Company, CONA will provide certain business process and information technology services to the Company, including the planning, development, management and operation of the CONA System in connection with the Company’s direct store delivery of products (collectively, the “CONA Services”). In exchange for the Company’s right to use the CONA System and right to receive the CONA Services under the Master Services Agreement, the Company will be charged quarterly service fees by CONA based on the number of physical cases of Beverages distributed by the Company during the applicable period in the Territories where the CONA Services have been implemented (the “Service Fees”). Upon the earlier of (i) all members of CONA beginning to use the CONA System in all territories in which they distribute products of The Coca‑Cola Company (excluding certain territories of CCR that are expected to be sold to bottlers that are neither members of CONA nor users of the CONA System), or (ii) December 31, 2018, the Service Fees will be changed to be an amount per physical case of Beverages distributed in any portion of the Territories equal to the aggregate costs incurred by CONA to maintain and operate the CONA System and provide the CONA Services divided by the total number of cases distributed by all of the members of CONA, subject to certain exceptions. The Company is obligated to pay the Service Fees under the Master Services Agreement even if it is not using the CONA System for all or any portion of its operations in the Territories. During 2016, the Company incurred CONA Service Fees of $7.5 million. Snyder Production Center (“SPC”) The Company leases the SPC and an adjacent sales facility, which are located in Charlotte, North Carolina, from Harrison Limited Partnership One (“HLP”). HLP is directly and indirectly owned by trusts of which J. Frank Harrison, III, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Sue Anne H. Wells, a director of the Company, and Deborah H. Everhart, a former director of the Company, are trustees and beneficiaries. Morgan H. Everett, a director of the Company, is a permissible, discretionary beneficiary of the trusts that directly or indirectly own HLP. The SPC lease expires on December 31, 2020. The principal balance outstanding under this capital lease as of January 1, 2017 was $14.7 million and as of January 3, 2016 was $17.5 million.

The principal balance outstanding under this capital lease as of January 1, 2017 was $15.5 million and as of January 3, 2016 was $18.1 million. The annual base rent the Company is obligated to pay under the lease is subject to adjustment for increases in the Consumer Price Index. The minimum rentals and contingent rental payments related to this lease were as follows: Fiscal Year (in thousands) 2016 2015 2014 Minimum rentals $ 3,526 $ 3,540 $ 3,539 Contingent rentals 767 682 618 Total rental payments $ 4,293 $ 4,222 $ 4,157 The contingent rentals in 2016, 2015 and 2014 are a result of changes in the Consumer Price Index. Increases or decreases in lease payments that result from changes in the Consumer Price Index were recorded as adjustments to interest expense.

Risks And Uncertainties [Abstract]
Risks and Uncertainties	21. Risks and Uncertainties Approximately 90% of the Company’s 2016 bottle/can volume to retail customers consists of products of The Coca‑Cola Company, which is the sole supplier of these products or of the concentrates or syrups required to manufacture these products. The remaining 10% of the Company’s 2016 bottle/can volume to retail customers consists of products of other beverage companies or those owned by the Company. The Company has beverage agreements with The Coca‑Cola Company and other beverage companies under which it has various requirements. Failure to meet the requirements of these beverage agreements could result in the loss of distribution rights for the respective products. The Company’s products are sold and distributed through various channels in the United States, including selling directly to retail stores and other outlets such as food markets, institutional accounts and vending machine outlets. During 2016, approximately 66% of the Company’s bottle/can volume to retail customers was sold for future consumption, while the remainder was sold for immediate consumption. The following table summarizes the percentage of the Company’s total bottle/can volume and the percentage of the Company’s total net sales, which are all included in the Nonalcoholic Beverages operating segment, attributable to its largest customers. No other customer represented greater than 10% of the Company’s total net sales for any years presented. Fiscal Year Customer 2016 2015 2014 Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.

The Coca‑Cola Company and each member RPB has a representative on the governing board (the “NPSG Board”). As of January 2017, the NPSG Board consisted of The Coca‑Cola‑Company, the Company and five other RPBs, including CCR. Pursuant to the NPSG Governance Agreement, the Company has agreed to abide by decisions made by the NPSG Board, which include decisions regarding strategic investment and divestment, optimal national product supply sourcing and new product or packaging infrastructure planning. Even though the Company has a representative on the NPSG Board, the Company will not exercise sole decision-making authority relating to the decisions of the NPSG Board, and the interests of other members of the NPSG Board may diverge from those of the Company. The Company obtains all its aluminum cans from two domestic suppliers. The Company currently obtains all its plastic bottles from two domestic entities. See Note 14 and Note 19 of the consolidated financial statements for additional information. The Company is exposed to price risk on commodities such as aluminum, corn and resin which affects the cost of raw materials used in the production of finished products. The Company both produces and procures these finished products. Examples of the raw materials affected are aluminum cans and plastic bottles used for packaging and high fructose corn syrup used as a product ingredient. Further, the Company is exposed to commodity price risk on crude oil which impacts the Company’s cost of fuel used in the movement and delivery of the Company’s products. The Company participates in commodity hedging and risk mitigation programs administered both by CCBSS and by the Company. In addition, there is no limit on the price The Coca‑Cola Company and other beverage companies can charge for concentrate. Certain liabilities of the Company, including floating rate debt, retirement benefit obligations and the Company’s pension liability, are subject to risk of changes in both long-term and short-term interest rates. The Company’s contingent consideration liability resulting from the acquisition of the Expansion Territories is subject to risk as a result of changes in the Company’s probability weighted discounted cash flow model, which is based on internal forecasts, and changes in the Company’s WACC, which is derived from market data. Approximately 9% of the Company’s labor force is covered by collective bargaining agreements. The Company’s collective bargaining agreements expire at various dates through 2020. Terms and conditions of the new labor union agreements could result in delays of closings for new Expansion Territories and also increases the Company’s exposure to work interruptions or stoppages, as an increased percentage of its workforce is covered by collective bargaining agreements.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segments	23. Segments The Company evaluates segment reporting in accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards Codification 280, Segment Reporting each reporting period, including evaluating the reporting package reviewed by the Chief Operation Decision Maker (“CODM”). The Company has concluded the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as a group, represent the CODM. The Company believes four operating segments exist. Following the sale of BYB during the third quarter of fiscal 2015, two operating segments, Franchised Nonalcoholic Beverages and Internally-Developed Nonalcoholic Beverages (made up entirely of BYB), were aggregated due to their similar economic characteristics as well as the similarity of products, production processes, types of customers, methods of distribution, and nature of the regulatory environment. This combined segment, Nonalcoholic Beverages, represents the vast majority of the Company’s consolidated revenues, operating income, and assets. The remaining three operating segments do not meet the quantitative thresholds for separate reporting, either individually or in the aggregate. As a result, these three operating segments have been combined into an “All Other” reportable segment. The Company’s results for its two reportable segments are as follows: Fiscal Year (in thousands) 2016 2015 2014 Net Sales: Nonalcoholic Beverages $ 3,060,937 $ 2,245,836 $ 1,710,040 All Other 234,732 160,191 123,194 Eliminations* (139,241 ) (99,569 ) (86,865 ) Consolidated net sales $ 3,156,428 $ 2,306,458 $ 1,746,369 Operating Income: Nonalcoholic Beverages $ 123,230 $ 92,921 $ 82,297 All Other 4,629 5,223 3,670 Consolidated operating income $ 127,859 $ 98,144 $ 85,967 Depreciation and Amortization: Nonalcoholic Beverages $ 109,716 $ 76,127 $ 58,103 All Other 6,907 4,769 3,027 Consolidated depreciation and amortization $ 116,623 $ 80,896 $ 61,130 Capital Expenditures: Nonalcoholic Beverages $ 144,462 $ 141,080 $ 69,635 All Other 29,822 27,627 16,739 Consolidated capital expenditures $ 174,284 $ 168,707 $ 86,374 (in thousands) January 1, 2017 January 3, 2016 Total Assets: Nonalcoholic Beverages $ 2,349,284 $ 1,804,084 All Other 105,785 75,842 Eliminations* (5,585 ) (33,361 ) Consolidated total assets $ 2,449,484 $ 1,846,565 * NOTE: The entire net sales elimination for each year presented represents net sales from the All Other segment to the Nonalcoholic Beverages segment. Sales between these segments are either recognized at fair market value or cost depending on the nature of the transaction. Asset eliminations relate to eliminations of intercompany receivables and payables between the Nonalcoholic Beverages and All Other segments. The Company is a shareholder of SAC and Southeastern. See Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information on the revenues and assets of these entities, which are included in the Nonalcoholic beverages segment results.

Subsequent Events	25. Subsequent Events On January 27, 2017, the Company completed the second territory expansion transaction contemplated by the September 2016 Distribution APA, through which the Company acquired from CCR distribution assets and working capital related to the distribution territories located in Indiana and Illinois served by distribution facilities located in Anderson, Fort Wayne, Lafayette, South Bend and Terre Haute, Indiana. At closing, the Company paid a cash purchase price of $31.6 million, which will remain subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the September 2016 Distribution APA, and executed an Initial CBA providing the Company with exclusive rights for the distribution, promotion, marketing and sale of products owned and licensed by The Coca‑Cola Company in such territories. The Company has not completed the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the individual acquired assets and assumed liabilities for the transaction described above. The transaction will be accounted for as a business combination under FASB ASC Accounting Standards Codification 805. On February 27, 2017, the Company sold $125 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2023 to PGIM, Inc. (“Prudential”) and certain of its affiliates pursuant to the Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement dated June 10, 2016 between the Company, PGIM, Inc. and the other parties thereto. These notes bear interest at 3.28%, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 27 and August 27 of each year, and will mature on February 27, 2023 unless earlier redeemed by the Company. The Company expects to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes. As of the date of this filing, the Company may request that Prudential consider the purchase of additional senior unsecured notes of the Company under the facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $175 million.

Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Jan. 01, 2017
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Description of Business	Description of Business Coca‑Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated (the “Company”) produces, markets and distributes nonalcoholic beverages, primarily products of The Coca‑Cola Company, and is the largest independent Coca‑Cola bottler in the United States. The Company manages its business on the basis of four operating segments and two reporting segments. Piedmont Coca-Cola Bottling Partnership (“Piedmont”) is the Company’s only subsidiary with significant noncontrolling interest. Piedmont distributes and markets nonalcoholic beverages in portions of North Carolina and South Carolina. The Company provides a portion of the nonalcoholic beverage products to Piedmont at cost and receives a fee for managing the operations of Piedmont pursuant to a management agreement. Refer to Note 2 for additional information. As part of The Coca‑Cola Company’s plans to refranchise its North American bottling territories, the Company is engaged in a multi-year series of transactions with The Coca‑Cola Company and Coca‑Cola Refreshments, Inc. (“CCR”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Coca‑Cola Company, to expand its distribution operations significantly through the acquisition both of rights to serve additional distribution territories previously served by CCR and of related distribution assets. Refer to Note 3 for additional information.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fiscal Year	Fiscal Year The Company’s fiscal year generally ends on the Sunday closest to December 31 of each year. The fiscal years presented are: • The 52-week period ended January 1, 2017 (“2016”) • The 53-week period ended January 3, 2016 (“2015”); and • The 52-week period ended December 28, 2014 (“2014”).
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash in banks and cash equivalents, which are highly liquid debt instruments with maturities of less than 90 days. The Company maintains cash deposits with major banks, which, from time to time, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company periodically assesses the financial condition of the institutions and believes the risk of any loss is minimal.
Accounts Receivable, Trade	Accounts Receivable, Trade The Company sells its products to mass merchandise retailers, supermarkets retailers, convenience stores and other customers and extends credit, generally without requiring collateral, based on an ongoing evaluation of the customer’s business prospects and financial condition. The Company’s trade accounts receivable are typically collected within 30 days from the date of sale.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts	Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The Company evaluates the collectibility of its trade accounts receivable based on a number of factors, including the specific industry in which a particular customer operates. When the Company becomes aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to the Company, a specific reserve for bad debts is estimated and recorded to reduce the recognized receivable to the estimated amount the Company believes will ultimately be collected. In addition to specific customer identification of potential bad debts, an allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded based on the Company’s recent past loss history and an overall assessment of past due trade accounts receivable outstanding.
Inventories	Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out method for finished products and manufacturing materials and on the average cost method for plastic shells, plastic pallets and other inventories.
Property, Plant and Equipment	Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements on operating leases are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful lives or the term of the lease, including renewal options the Company determines are reasonably assured. Additions and major replacements or betterments are added to the assets at cost. Maintenance and repair costs and minor replacements are charged to expense when incurred. When assets are replaced or otherwise disposed, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the gains or losses, if any, are reflected in the statement of operations. Gains or losses on the disposal of manufacturing equipment and manufacturing facilities are included in cost of sales. Gains or losses on the disposal of all other property, plant and equipment are included in selling, delivery and administrative (“S,D&A”) expenses. The Company evaluates the recoverability of the carrying amount of its property, plant and equipment when events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. These evaluations are performed at a level where independent cash flows may be attributed to either an asset or an asset group. If the Company determines the carrying amount of an asset or asset group is not recoverable based upon the expected undiscounted future cash flows of the asset or asset group, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the excess of the carrying amounts over the estimated fair value of the long-lived assets.
Leased Property Under Capital Leases	Leased Property Under Capital Leases Leased property under capital leases is depreciated using the straight-line method over the lease term.
Internal Use Software	Internal Use Software The Company capitalizes costs incurred in the development or acquisition of internal use software. The Company expenses costs incurred in the preliminary project planning stage. Costs, such as maintenance and training, are also expensed as incurred. Capitalized costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Amortization expense, which is included in depreciation expense, for internal-use software was $10.9 million in 2016, $9.3 million in 2015 and $7.6 million in 2014.
Franchise Rights and Goodwill	Franchise Rights and Goodwill All business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if facts and circumstances indicate such assets may be impaired. Franchise rights and goodwill are the only intangible assets the Company classifies as indefinite lived. The Company performs its annual impairment test as of the first day of the fourth quarter each year. For both franchise rights and goodwill, when appropriate, the Company performs a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the franchise rights or goodwill is below its carrying value. When a quantitative analysis is considered necessary for the annual impairment analysis of franchise rights, the Company utilizes the Greenfield Method to estimate the fair value. The Greenfield Method assumes the Company is new, owning only franchise rights, and making investments required to build an operation comparable to the Company’s current operations. The Company estimates the cash flows required to build a comparable operation and the available future cash flows from these operations. The cash flows are then discounted using an appropriate discount rate. The estimated fair value based upon the discounted cash flows is compared to the carrying value on an aggregated basis to determine whether an impairment is needed. The Company has determined it has one reporting unit, within the Nonalcoholic Beverages reportable segment, for the purpose of assessing goodwill for potential impairment. The Company uses its overall market capitalization as part of its estimate of fair value of the reporting unit and in assessing the reasonableness of the Company’s internal estimates of fair value. When a quantitative analysis is considered necessary for the annual impairment analysis of goodwill, the Company develops an estimated fair value for the reporting unit considering three different approaches: • market value, using the Company’s stock price plus outstanding debt; • discounted cash flow analysis; and • multiple of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization based upon relevant industry data. The estimated fair value of the reporting unit is then compared to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value exceeds the carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired, and the second step of the impairment test is not necessary. If the carrying amount, including goodwill, exceeds its estimated fair value, the second step of the impairment test is performed to measure the amount of the impairment, if any. In the second step, a comparison is made between the book value of goodwill and the implied fair value of goodwill. Implied fair value of goodwill is determined by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to the book value of its net identifiable assets, excluding goodwill. To estimate the implied fair value of goodwill for a reporting unit, the Company assigns the fair value of the assets and liabilities associated with the reporting unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Any excess of the carrying value of goodwill of the reporting unit over its implied fair value is recorded as an impairment. To the extent the actual and projected cash flows decline in the future or if market conditions significantly deteriorate, the Company may be required to perform an interim impairment analysis that could result in an impairment of franchise rights or goodwill.
Other Identifiable Intangible Assets	Other Identifiable Intangible Assets Other identifiable intangible assets primarily represent customer relationships and distribution rights, and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.
Acquisition Related Contingent Consideration Liability	Acquisition Related Contingent Consideration Liability The acquisition related contingent consideration liability consists of the estimated amounts due to The Coca‑Cola Company under the Comprehensive Beverage Agreements (“CBAs”) over the remaining useful life of the related distribution rights intangible assets. Under the CBAs, the Company is required to make quarterly sub-bottling payments on a continuing basis for the grant of exclusive rights to distribute, promote, market and sell specified covered beverages and related products, as defined in the agreements, in certain acquired territories. The quarterly sub-bottling payment is based on sales of certain beverages and beverage products sold under the same trademarks that identify a covered beverage, related product or certain cross-licensed brands, as defined in the CBAs. Each reporting period, the Company evaluates future cash flows associated with its acquired territories and the associated discount rate to determine the fair value of the contingent consideration. These cash flows represent the Company’s best estimate of amounts which will be paid to The Coca‑Cola Company under the CBAs over the remaining life of certain distribution rights intangible assets. The discount rate represents the Company’s weighted average cost of capital at the reporting date of the fair value calculation. Changes in the fair value of the acquisition related contingent consideration are included in “Other income (expense)” on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans	Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans The Company has a noncontributory pension plan covering certain nonunion employees and a noncontributory pension plan covering certain union employees. Costs of the plans are charged to current operations and include several components of net periodic pension cost based on actuarial assumptions regarding future expectations of the plans. In addition, certain other union employees are covered by plans provided by their respective union organizations and the Company expenses amounts as paid in accordance with union agreements. The Company recognizes the cost of postretirement benefits, which consist primarily of medical benefits, during employees’ periods of active service. Amounts recorded for benefit plans reflect estimates related to interest rates, investment returns, employee turnover and health care costs. The discount rate assumptions used to determine the pension and postretirement benefit obligations are based on yield rates available on double-A bonds as of each plan’s measurement date.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to operating losses and tax credit carryforwards, as well as differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance will be provided against deferred tax assets if the Company determines it is more likely than not such assets will not ultimately be realized. The Company does not recognize a tax benefit unless it concludes that it is more likely than not that the benefit will be sustained on audit by the taxing authority based solely on the technical merits of the associated tax position. If the recognition threshold is met, the Company recognizes a tax benefit measured at the largest amount of the tax benefit that, in the Company’s judgment, is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized. The Company records interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Revenues are recognized when finished products are delivered to customers and both the title and the risks and benefits of ownership are transferred, price is fixed and determinable, collection is reasonably assured and, in the event of full service vending, when cash is collected from the vending machines. Appropriate provisions are made for uncollectible accounts. The Company receives service fees from The Coca‑Cola Company for the delivery of fountain syrup products to The Coca‑Cola Company’s fountain customers and for the repair of fountain equipment owned by The Coca‑Cola Company. These service fees are recognized as revenue when the respective services are completed. Service revenue represents approximately one percent of net sales, and is presented within the Nonalcoholic Beverages segment. In addition to delivering its own products, the Company performs freight hauling and brokerage for third parties. The freight charges are recognized as revenue when the delivery is complete. Freight revenue from third parties represents approximately two percent of net sales, and is presented within the All Other segment. Revenues do not include sales or other taxes collected from customers.
Marketing Programs and Sales Incentives	Marketing Programs and Sales Incentives The Company participates in various marketing and sales programs with The Coca‑Cola Company, other beverage companies and customers to increase the sale of its products. In addition, coupon programs are deployed on a territory-specific basis. The cost of these various marketing programs and sales incentives with The Coca‑Cola Company and other beverage companies, included as deductions to net sales, totaled $117.0 million in 2016, $71.4 million in 2015 and $61.7 million. Programs negotiated with customers include arrangements under which allowances can be earned for attaining agreed-upon sales levels and/or for participating in specific marketing programs.
Marketing Funding Support	Marketing Funding Support The Company receives marketing funding support payments in cash from The Coca‑Cola Company and other beverage companies. Payments to the Company for marketing programs to promote the sale of bottle/can volume and fountain syrup volume are recognized as a reduction of cost of sales, primarily on a per unit basis, as the product is sold. Payments for periodic programs are recognized in the period during which they are earned. Cash consideration received by a customer from a vendor is presumed to be a reduction of the price of the vendor’s products or services. As such, the cash received is accounted for as a reduction of cost of sales unless it is a specific reimbursement of costs or payments for services. Payments the Company receives from The Coca‑Cola Company and other beverage companies for marketing funding support are classified as reductions of cost of sales.
Derivative Financial Instruments	Derivative Financial Instruments The Company uses derivative financial instruments, with the intent of reducing risk over time, to manage its exposure to movements in interest rates and certain commodity prices. The Company does not use financial instruments for trading purposes, and it does not use leveraged financial instruments. Credit risk related to the derivative financial instruments is managed by requiring high credit standards for its counterparties and periodic settlements. The Company records all derivative instruments in the consolidated financial statements at fair value. Commodity Hedges The Company uses derivative instruments to hedge some or all of its projected purchases of aluminum and of diesel fuel and unleaded gasoline for the Company’s delivery fleet and other vehicles. The Company generally pays a fee for these instruments, which is amortized over the corresponding period of the instrument. The Company accounts for its commodity hedges on a mark-to-market basis with any expense or income reflected as an adjustment of related costs which are included in either cost of sales or S,D&A expenses.
Risk Management Programs	Risk Management Programs The Company uses various insurance structures to manage its workers’ compensation, auto liability, medical and other insurable risks. These structures consist of retentions, deductibles, limits and a diverse group of insurers that serve to strategically transfer and mitigate the financial impact of losses. The Company uses commercial insurance for claims as a risk reduction strategy to minimize catastrophic losses. Losses are accrued using assumptions and procedures followed in the insurance industry, adjusted for company-specific history and expectations.
Cost of Sales	Cost of Sales Cost of sales includes raw material costs, manufacturing labor, manufacturing overhead including depreciation expense, manufacturing warehousing costs and shipping and handling costs related to the movement of finished goods from manufacturing locations to sales distribution centers.
Selling, Delivery and Administrative Expenses	Selling, Delivery and Administrative Expenses S,D&A expenses include sales management labor costs, distribution costs from sales distribution centers to customer locations, sales distribution center warehouse costs, depreciation expense related to sales centers, delivery vehicles and cold drink equipment, point-of-sale expenses, advertising expenses, cold drink equipment repair costs, amortization of intangibles and administrative support labor and operating costs such as treasury, legal, information services, accounting, internal control services, human resources and executive management costs.
Shipping and Handling Costs	Shipping and Handling Costs Shipping and handling costs related to the movement of finished goods from manufacturing locations to sales distribution centers are included in cost of sales. Shipping and handling costs related to the movement of finished goods from sales distribution centers to customer locations are included in S,D&A expenses and were $314.3 million in 2016, $222.9 million in 2015 and $211.6 million in 2014. Delivery fees charged by the Company are used to offset a portion of the Company’s delivery and handling costs. The fees are recorded net sales and are presented within the Nonalcoholic Beverages segment. There were delivery fees of $6.0 million in 2016, $6.3 million in 2015 and $6.2 million in 2014 recorded to net sales.
Stock Compensation with Contingent Vesting	Stock Compensation with Contingent Vesting In April 2008, the stockholders of the Company approved a Performance Unit Award Agreement for J. Frank Harrison, III, the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, consisting of 400,000 performance units (“Units”). Each Unit represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s Class B Common Stock, subject to certain terms and conditions. The Units are subject to vesting in annual increments over a ten-year period starting in fiscal year 2009. The number of Units that vest each year will be equal the product of 40,000 multiplied by the overall goal achievement factor, not to exceed 100%, under the Company’s Annual Bonus Plan. Each annual 40,000 unit tranche has an independent performance requirement that is not established until the Company’s Annual Bonus Plan targets are approved during the first quarter of each year by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. As a result, each 40,000 unit tranche is considered to have its own service inception date, grant-date and requisite service period. The Performance Unit Award Agreement does not entitle Mr. Harrison, to participate in dividends or voting rights until each installment has vested and related shares are issued. Mr. Harrison may satisfy tax withholding requirements in whole or in part by requiring the Company to settle in cash such a number of units otherwise payable in Class B Common Stock to meet the maximum statutory tax withholding requirements. The Company recognizes compensation expense over the requisite service period (one fiscal year) based on the Company’s stock price at the end of each accounting period, unless the achievement of the performance requirement for the fiscal year is considered unlikely. See Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information on Mr. Harrison’s stock compensation program.
Net Income Per Share	Net Income Per Share The Company applies the two-class method for calculating and presenting net income per share. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock according to dividends declared or accumulated and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Under this method: (a) Income from continuing operations (“net income”) is reduced by the amount of dividends declared in the current period for each class of stock and by the contractual amount of dividends that must be paid for the current period. (b) The remaining earnings (“undistributed earnings”) are allocated to Common Stock and Class B Common Stock to the extent each security may share in earnings as if all the earnings for the period had been distributed. The total earnings allocated to each security is determined by adding together the amount allocated for dividends and the amount allocated for a participation feature. (c) The total earnings allocated to each security is then divided by the number of outstanding shares of the security to which the earnings are allocated to determine the earnings per share for the security. (d) Basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) data are presented for each class of common stock. In applying the two-class method, the Company determined undistributed earnings should be allocated equally on a per share basis between the Common Stock and Class B Common Stock due to the aggregate participation rights of the Class B Common Stock (i.e., the voting and conversion rights) and the Company’s history of paying dividends equally on a per share basis on the Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. Under the Company’s certificate of incorporation, the Board of Directors may declare dividends on Common Stock without declaring equal or any dividends on the Class B Common Stock. Notwithstanding this provision, Class B Common Stock has voting and conversion rights that allow the Class B Common Stock to participate equally on a per share basis with the Common Stock. The Class B Common Stock is entitled to 20 votes per share and the Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share with respect to each matter to be voted upon by the stockholders of the Company. Except as otherwise required by law, the holders of the Class B Common Stock and Common Stock vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to the Company’s stockholders, including the election of the Board of Directors. As a result, the holders of the Class B Common Stock control approximately 86% of the total voting power of the stockholders of the Company and control the election of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has declared and the Company has paid dividends on the Class B Common Stock and Common Stock and each class of common stock has participated equally in all dividends declared by the Board of Directors and paid by the Company since 1994. The Class B Common Stock conversion rights allow the Class B Common Stock to participate in dividends equally with the Common Stock. The Class B Common Stock is convertible into Common Stock on a one-for-one per share basis at any time at the option of the holder. Accordingly, the holders of the Class B Common Stock can participate equally in any dividends declared on the Common Stock by exercising their conversion rights. Basic EPS excludes potential common shares that were dilutive and is computed by dividing net income available for common stockholders by the weighted average number of Common and Class B Common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS for Common Stock and Class B Common Stock gives effect to all securities representing potential common shares that were dilutive and outstanding during the period.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 “Disclosure of Uncertainties About An Entity’s Ability To Continue As A Going Concern,” which specifies the responsibility an entity’s management has to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods ending after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2016 and there was no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15 “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,” which addresses presentation and classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows, with the objective to reduce diversity in practice. The amendment applicable to the Company addresses contingent consideration payments made after a business combination and states (1) cash payments made soon after an acquisition’s consummation date should be classified as cash outflows for investing activities; (2) cash payments made thereafter should be classified as cash outflows for financing activities up to the amount of the original contingent consideration; and (3) cash payments made in excess of the original contingent consideration liability should be classified as cash outflows for operating activities. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period, however if an entity elects to early adopt one amendment, it must adopt all amendments included in the guidance. The Company adopted the new pronouncements in the third quarter of 2016 and there was no impact on the consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-03 “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (“ASU 2015-03”). ASU 2015-03 requires all cost incurred to issue debt be presented in the balance sheet as a direct reduction from the carrying value of the debt. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015‑15 “Presentation And Subsequent Measurement Of Debt Issuance Costs Associated With Line-Of-Credit Arrangements, Amendments To SEC Paragraphs Pursuant To Staff Announcement At June 18, 2015 EITF Meeting.” ASU 2015-15 clarified that an entity can present debt issuance costs of a line-of-credit arrangement as an asset regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. The new guidance was effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The standard was retrospectively adopted by the Company on January 4, 2016, and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. At January 3, 2016, $3.1 million and $1.1 million of debt issuance costs were reclassified to long-term debt from other assets and prepaid expenses and other current assets, respectively.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04 “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” which eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. The new guidance is effective for the annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this guidance will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01 “Clarifying the Definition of a Business,” which clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements will depend on the facts and circumstances of any specific future transactions. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09 “Improvements To Employees Share Based Payment Accounting,” which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee-share based transactions including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “Leases.” The new guidance requires lessees to recognize a right-to-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all leases (other than leases meeting the definition of a short-term lease). The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods beginning the following year. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Additionally, the Company is evaluating the impacts of the standard beyond accounting, including system, data and process changes required to comply with the standard. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01 “Recognition And Measurement Of Financial Assets And Financial Liabilities.” The new guidance revises the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and the presentation of certain fair value changes in financial liabilities measured at fair value. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2017. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11 “Simplifying The Measurement of Inventory.” The new guidance requires an entity to measure most inventory “at lower of cost and net realizable value” thereby simplifying the current guidance under which an entity must measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Over the past several years, the FASB has issued several accounting standards for revenue recognition: • ASU 2014‑09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” was issued in May 2014, which was originally going to be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. • ASU 2015-14 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Deferral of the Effective Date” was issued in July 2015, which deferred the effective date to annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. • ASU 2016-08 “Principal Versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross Versus Net)” was issued in March 2016, which amends certain aspects of the May 2014 new guidance. • ASU 2016-11 “Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards Updates 2014-09 and 2014-16, Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 EITF Meeting” was issued in April 2016, which amends certain aspects of the May 2014 new guidance. • ASU 2016-12 “Revenue From Contracts With Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients” was issued in May 2016, which amends certain aspects of the May 2014 new guidance. • ASU 2016-20 “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606: Revenue From Contracts With Customers” was issued in December 2016 and clarifies the new revenue standard and corrects unintended application of the guidance. The Company does not plan to early adopt this guidance. The Company has started its evaluation process to assess the impact of the new guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and to determine whether to adopt a full retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach. The evaluation process includes tasks such as performing an initial scoping analysis to identify key revenue streams, reviewing current revenue-based contracts and evaluating revenue recognition requirements in order to prepare a high-level road map and implementation work plan. Based on the Company’s preliminary review, it does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on net sales. As the Company complete its overall assessment, the Company is also identifying and preparing to implement changes to our accounting policies and practices, business processes, systems and controls to support the new revenue recognition and disclosure requirements.
