MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL REVIEW
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OVERVIEW
- --------

       In 2000, our second year as an independent public company, The Pepsi
Bottling Group, Inc. (collectively referred to as "PBG," "we," "our" and "us")
has made substantial progress towards our key objectives - improving the
economics of our take-home business, aggressively growing our high-margin cold
drink volume and sharply improving our international business. Specifically, our
efforts in these areas have generated the following outstanding results:

- -      We delivered 16% constant territory EBITDA growth in 2000.

- -      We increased our return on invested capital by 1.6 percentage points to
       7.6% in 2000.

- -      We delivered $1.53 in diluted earnings per share, an increase of $0.82
       over 1999 after adjusting 1999 for the number of shares outstanding to
       reflect our initial public offering and excluding unusual charges and
       credits. Diluted earnings per share in 2000 included a $0.26 favorable
       impact from a change in the estimated useful lives of certain categories
       of assets and a $0.05 favorable impact from the inclusion of an
       additional week in our 2000 fiscal year.

- -      We generated $273 million of operating free cash flow in 2000, an
       improvement of $112 million over the prior year.

       The following discussion and analysis covers the key drivers behind our
success in 2000 and is broken down into five major sections. The first two
sections provide an overview and focus on items that affect the comparability of
historical or future results. The next two sections provide an analysis of our
results of operations and liquidity and financial condition. The last section
contains a discussion of our market risks and cautionary statements. The
discussion and analysis throughout management's financial review should be read
in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related
accompanying notes.

Constant Territory

       We believe that constant territory performance results are the most
appropriate indicators of operating trends and performance, particularly in
light of our stated intention of acquiring additional bottling territories, and
are consistent with industry practice. Constant territory operating results are
derived by adjusting current year results to exclude significant current year
acquisitions and adjusting prior year results to include the results of
significant prior year acquisitions as if they had

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

       occurred on the first day of the prior fiscal year. In addition, 2000
constant territory results exclude the impact from an additional week in our
fiscal year ("53rd week"), which occurs every five or six years as our fiscal
year ends on the last Saturday in December. Constant territory results also
exclude any unusual impairment and other charges and credits.

Use of EBITDA

       EBITDA, which is computed as operating income plus the sum of
depreciation and amortization, is a key indicator management and the industry
use to evaluate operating performance. It is not, however, required under
generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered an
alternative to measurements required by GAAP such as net income or cash flows.
In addition, EBITDA excludes the impact of the non-cash portion of the unusual
impairment and other charges and credits discussed on the next page and in Note
4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEMS THAT AFFECT HISTORICAL OR FUTURE COMPARABILITY
- ----------------------------------------------------

Asset Lives

       At the beginning of fiscal year 2000, we changed the estimated useful
lives of certain categories of assets primarily to reflect the success of our
preventive maintenance programs in extending the useful lives of these assets.
The changes, which are detailed in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements, lowered total depreciation cost by approximately $69 million, or
$0.26 per diluted share.

Fiscal Year

       Our fiscal year ends on the last Saturday in December and, as a result, a
53rd week is added every five or six years. Fiscal year 2000 consisted of 53
weeks while fiscal years 1999 and 1998 consisted of 52 weeks. The following
table illustrates the approximate dollars and percentage points of growth that
the extra week contributed to our 2000 operating results:

Initial Public Offering

       PBG was incorporated in Delaware in January 1999 and, prior to our
formation, we were an operating unit of PepsiCo, Inc. ("PepsiCo"). We became a
public company through an initial public offering on March 31, 1999. Our initial
public offering consisted of 100,000,000 shares of common stock sold to the
public, equivalent to 65% of our outstanding common stock, leaving PepsiCo the
owner of the remaining 35% of outstanding common stock. PepsiCo's ownership has
increased to 37.8% of our outstanding common stock at December 30, 2000 as a
result of net repurchases of approximately 10 million shares under our share
repurchase program, which began in October 1999. PepsiCo also owns 100% of our
outstanding Class B common stock, together representing 46.0% of the voting
power of all classes of our voting stock. In addition, PepsiCo owns 7.1% of the
equity of Bottling Group, LLC, our principal operating subsidiary, giving
PepsiCo economic ownership of 42.2% of our combined operations at December 30,
2000. We fully consolidate the results of Bottling Group, LLC and present
PepsiCo's share as minority interest in our Consolidated Financial Statements.

       For the periods prior to our initial public offering, we prepared our
Consolidated Financial Statements as a "carve-out" from the financial statements
of PepsiCo using the historical results of operations and assets and liabilities
of our business. Certain costs reflected in the Consolidated Financial
Statements may not necessarily be indicative of the costs that we would have
incurred had we operated as an independent, stand-alone entity for all periods
presented. These costs include an allocation of PepsiCo's corporate overhead and
interest expense, and income taxes:

- -      We included corporate overhead related to PepsiCo's corporate
       administrative functions based on a specific identification of PepsiCo's
       administrative costs relating to the bottling operations and, to the
       extent that such identification was not practicable, based upon the
       percentage of our revenues to PepsiCo's consolidated net revenues. These
       costs are included in selling, delivery and administrative expenses in
       our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

- -      We allocated $3.3 billion of PepsiCo's debt to our business and charged
       interest expense on this debt using PepsiCo's weighted-average interest
       rate. Once we issued $3.3 billion of third-party debt in the first
       quarter of 1999, our actual interest rates were used to determine
       interest expense for the remainder of the year.

       -      We reflected income tax expense in the Consolidated Financial
              Statements as if we had actually filed a separate income tax
              return.

       The amounts, by year, of the historical allocations described above are
       as follows:

       * Does not include the tax settlement with the Internal Revenue Service
       discussed below.


- -      Non-cash Compensation Charge

              In connection with the completion of our initial public offering,
       PepsiCo vested substantially all non-vested PepsiCo stock options held by
       our employees. As a result, we incurred a $45 million non-cash
       compensation charge in the second quarter of 1999, equal to the
       difference between the market price of the PepsiCo capital stock and the
       exercise price of these options at the vesting date.

- -      Vacation Policy Change

              As a result of changes to our employee benefit and compensation
       plans in 1999, employees now earn vacation time evenly throughout the
       year based upon service rendered. Previously, employees were fully vested
       at the beginning of each year. As a result of this change, we reversed an
       accrual of $53 million into income in 1999.

- -      Asset Impairment and Restructuring Charges

       In the fourth quarter of 1998, we recorded $222 million of charges
       relating to the following:

       >      A charge of $212 million for asset impairment of $194 million and
              other charges of $18 million related to restructuring our Russian
              operations.

       >      A charge of $10 million for employee-related and other costs,
              mainly relocation and severance, resulting from the separation of
              Pepsi-Cola bottling and concentrate organizations.

       In the fourth quarter of 1999, $8 million of the remaining 1998
       restructuring reserves was reversed into income, as actual costs incurred
       to renegotiate manufacturing and leasing contracts in Russia and to
       reduce the number of employees were less than the amounts originally
       estimated.

- -      Tax Settlement with the Internal Revenue Service

       In 1998, we settled a dispute with the Internal Revenue Service regarding
       the deductibility of the amortization of acquired franchise rights,
       resulting in a $46 million tax benefit.

Comparability of our operating results may also be affected by the following:

Concentrate Supply

       We buy concentrate, the critical flavor ingredient for our products, from
PepsiCo, its affiliates and other brand owners who are the sole authorized
suppliers. Concentrate prices are typically determined annually.

       In February 2000, PepsiCo announced an increase of approximately 7% in
the price of U.S. concentrate. PepsiCo has recently announced a further increase
of approximately 3%, effective February 2001. Amounts paid or payable to PepsiCo
and its affiliates for concentrate were $1,507 million, $1,418 million and
$1,283 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Bottler Incentives

       PepsiCo and other brand owners provide us with various forms of marketing
support. The level of this support is negotiated annually and can be increased
or decreased at the discretion of the brand owners. This marketing support is
intended to cover a variety of programs and initiatives, including direct
marketplace support, capital equipment funding and shared media and advertising
support. Direct marketplace support is primarily funding by PepsiCo and


                                       27

       other brand owners of sales discounts and similar programs, and is
recorded as an adjustment to net revenues. Capital equipment funding is designed
to support the purchase and placement of marketing equipment and is recorded as
a reduction to selling, delivery and administrative expenses. Shared media and
advertising support is recorded as a reduction to advertising and marketing
expense within selling, delivery and administrative expenses.

       The total bottler incentives we received from PepsiCo and other brand
owners were $566 million, $563 million and $536 million for 2000, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. Of these amounts, we recorded $277 million, $263 million and $247
million for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, in net revenues, and the
remainder as a reduction of selling, delivery and administrative expenses. The
amount of our bottler incentives received from PepsiCo was more than 90% of our
total bottler incentives in each of the three years, with the balance received
from the other brand owners.

Our Investment in Russia

       In recent years, we have invested in Russia to build infrastructure and
to fund start-up manufacturing and distribution costs. During the first half of
1998, our volumes were growing at approximately 50% over 1997 levels. However,
following the August 1998 devaluation of the ruble, we experienced a significant
drop in demand, resulting in lower net revenues and increased operating losses.
As a result of the economic crisis and the under-utilization of assets, we
incurred a charge of $212 million in the fourth quarter of 1998 to write down
our assets and reduce our fixed-cost structure.

       The economic conditions in 2000 and 1999 have been more stable, with 2000
volumes and revenues exceeding levels achieved immediately prior to the
devaluation. We have focused on developing alternative means of leveraging our
existing asset base while significantly reducing costs. In this regard, we have
increased distribution of Frito-Lay(R) snack products, which we began in 1999,
throughout all of Russia, except Moscow. We have also grown our value brand
beverage business (Fiesta), which was introduced in 1999, and increased
distribution of our water products.

       We anticipate that our Russian operations will continue to incur losses
and require cash to fund operations for at least the fiscal year 2001. However,
capital requirements will be minimal because our existing infrastructure is
adequate for current operations. Cash requirements for investing activities and
to fund operations were $17 million, $45 million and $156 million in 2000, 1999
and 1998, respectively. Volume in Russia accounted for 2%, 1% and 2% of our
total volume in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. We will continue to review
our Russian operations on a regular basis and to consider changes in our
distribution systems and other operations as circumstances dictate.

Employee Benefit Plan Changes

       We made several changes to our employee benefit plans that took effect in
fiscal year 2000. The changes were made to our vacation policy, pension and
retiree medical plans and included some benefit enhancements as well as cost
containment provisions. These changes did not have a significant impact on our
financial results in 2000.

       In 1999, our Board of Directors approved a matching company contribution
to our 401(k) plan that began in 2000. The match is dependent upon the
employee's contribution and years of service. The fiscal year 2000 matching
company contribution was approximately $15 million.

       In the fourth quarter of 1999 we recognized a $16 million compensation
charge related to full-year 1999 performance. This expense was one-time in
nature and was for the benefit of our management employees, reflecting our
successful operating results as well as providing certain incentive-related
features.

   * Fiscal year 2000 consisted of 53 weeks while fiscal years 1999 and 1998
     consisted of 52 weeks.


EBITDA

       Reported EBITDA was $1,061 million in 2000, representing an 18% increase
over 1999, with the 53rd week contributing approximately 2 percentage points of
the growth. Constant territory EBITDA was 16% higher than 1999 driven by
continued pricing improvements in our take-home segment, mix shifts to
higher-margin cold drink volume, favorable cost of sales trends and improved
results outside the U.S., particularly in Russia.

       Reported EBITDA was $901 million in 1999, representing a 25% increase
over 1998. On a constant territory basis, EBITDA growth of 13% was driven by a
strong pricing environment particularly in the U.S. take-home segment, solid
volume growth in our higher-margin cold drink segment and reduced operating
losses in Russia.

VOLUME

       Our reported worldwide raw case volume grew 3% in 2000, with the 53rd
week contributing approximately 2 percentage points of the growth. Worldwide
constant territory volume grew 1% in 2000 with flat volume growth from our U.S.
operations and 7% growth from our operations outside the U.S. In the U.S.,
volume results reflected growth in our cold drink segment and the favorable
impact of the launch of Sierra Mist in the fourth quarter of 2000, offset by
declines in our take-home business. Our cold drink trends reflect our successful
placement of additional cold drink equipment in the U.S. Take-home volume
remained lower for the year reflecting the effect of our price increases in that
segment. Our volume growth outside the U.S. was led by Russia where we have
reestablished brand Pepsi, introduced our own line of value brand beverage
products (Fiesta) and continued to increase distribution of our water products.
Partially offsetting the growth in Russia were volume declines in Canada
resulting from significant take-home price increases in that country. Raw case
volume is defined as physical cases sold, regardless of the volume contained in
those cases.

       Our worldwide raw case volume grew 4% on a reported basis in 1999, and
was flat on a constant territory basis. In the U.S., constant territory volume
improved 1% as growth in our cold drink segment was offset by declines in the
take-home business as we raised prices in the take-home segment. Outside the
U.S., our constant territory volumes declined 3%, driven by the continued impact
of the economic conditions in Russia that began to deteriorate in August 1998
with the devaluation of the ruble, partially offset by improved volumes in Spain
and Canada.

NET REVENUES

       Reported net revenues were $7,982 million in 2000, a 6% increase over the
prior year, with the 53rd week contributing approximately 2 percentage points of
the growth. On a constant territory basis, worldwide net revenues grew more than
4%, driven by a 1% volume increase and a 3% increase in net revenue per case.
Constant territory net revenue per case growth was driven by the U.S., which
grew 6%, reflecting higher pricing, particularly in our take-home segment, and
an increased mix of higher-revenue cold drink volume. These results were
partially offset by account level investment spending aimed at sustainable
Aquafina and cold drink inventory gains in the marketplace. Outside the U.S.,
constant territory net revenues were down 1%, reflecting a 7% increase in volume
offset by an 8% decrease in net revenue per case. Excluding the negative impact
from currency translations, net revenue per case decreased 1% outside the U.S.
and increased 4% worldwide.

       On a reported basis, net revenues were $7,505 million in 1999,
representing a 7% increase over 1998. On a constant territory basis, net
revenues increased 3%, with increases in the U.S. offsetting a revenue decline
outside the United States. U.S. constant territory growth of 4% was driven by a
1% increase in volume and a 3% increase in net revenue per case. The net revenue
per case increase reflects strong pricing, led by advances in the take-home
segment and an increased mix of higher-revenue cold drink volume. Volume
declines partially offset the revenue impact of higher take-home pricing.
Outside the U.S., revenue declines of 5% were driven by the impact of the August
1998 ruble devaluation in Russia. On a worldwide basis, constant territory net
revenue per case was up 3%.

COST OF SALES

       Cost of sales increased $109 million, or 3% in 2000, with the 53rd week
contributing approximately 2 percentage points of the growth. On a per case
basis, cost of sales was essentially flat in 2000. Included in current year
costs are the favorable impacts from the change in our estimated useful lives of
manufacturing assets, which totaled $34 million in 2000 and an approximate 1
percentage point favorable impact from currency translations. Excluding the
effects of the change in asset lives and currency translations, cost of sales on
a per case basis was more than 1% higher, as higher U.S. concentrate costs were
partially offset by favorable packaging and sweetener costs, favorable country
mix and efficiencies in production.

       Cost of sales increased $115 million, or 3% in 1999, but was essentially
flat on a per case basis as higher concentrate prices were offset by lower
packaging costs and the favorable effect of renegotiating our raw material
contracts in Russia to a ruble denomination instead of U.S. dollars.

SELLING, DELIVERY AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

       Selling, delivery and administrative expenses increased $174 million, or
6% in 2000, with the 53rd week contributing approximately 1 percentage point of
the growth. Included in selling, delivery and administrative expenses are the
favorable impacts from the change in estimated useful lives of certain selling
and delivery assets, which lowered depreciation expense by $35 million, and
currency translations, which lowered selling, delivery and administrative
expense growth by approximately 1 percentage point in 2000. Excluding the
effects of the change in asset lives, currency translations and the inclusion of
the 53rd week, selling, delivery and administrative expenses were approximately
7% higher in 2000. Driving this increase were higher selling and delivery costs
primarily reflecting our significant investment in our U.S. cold drink
infrastructure that began in 1999 and continued through 2000. Additional
headcount, delivery routes and depreciation expense resulted from this
initiative. In addition, higher performance-related compensation costs
contributed to the cost growth. Growth in administrative costs associated with
the company matching contribution for our new 401(k) plan in 2000 was offset by
a one-time, $16 million compensation charge in 1999.

       Selling, delivery and administrative expenses grew $230 million, or 9% in
1999, driven by acquisitions and higher selling and delivery costs, which
resulted from our significant investment in our U.S. and Canadian cold drink
infrastructure. Higher advertising and marketing spending was offset by reduced
operating costs in Russia, as our cost structure benefited from our fourth
quarter 1998 restructuring actions. Administrative costs were impacted by
increased performance-related compensation due to our stronger operating results
in 1999 compared to 1998 including a $16 million one-time compensation charge,
which was related to full-year 1999 performance. Excluding the impact of
performance-related compensation, our administrative costs were relatively flat
year-over-year.

INTEREST EXPENSE, NET

       Net interest expense decreased by $10 million to $192 million in 2000,
due primarily to increased interest income consistent with our increase in cash
and cash equivalents in 2000 and reduced levels of debt outside the U.S.

       Net interest expense decreased by $19 million to $202 million in 1999,
due primarily to a lower average interest rate on our $3.3 billion of long-term
debt. Our average interest rate decreased from 6.4% in 1998, when we used
PepsiCo's average interest rate, to 6.1% in 1999 when we issued our own debt in
the first quarter. Our lower 1999 interest rates reflect market conditions at
the time we issued our debt. In addition, we had reduced levels of external debt
outside the U.S.

FOREIGN CURRENCY LOSSES

       Our foreign currency losses primarily arise from our operations in
Russia. Since Russia is considered a highly inflationary economy for accounting
purposes, we are required to remeasure the net monetary assets of our Russian
operations in U.S. dollars and reflect any resulting gain or loss in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations. The August 1998 devaluation of the
Russian ruble resulted in significant foreign currency losses in 1998. In 2000
and 1999, foreign currency losses have been minimized due to a more stable ruble
exchange rate.

The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


MINORITY INTEREST

       Minority interest represents PepsiCo's 7.1% ownership in our principal
operating subsidiary, Bottling Group, LLC. The increased minority interest
expense in 2000 reflects higher Bottling Group, LLC earnings in 2000.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE (BENEFIT)

       Our full-year effective tax rate for 2000 was 37.0%, compared to 37.4% in
1999. Our effective tax rate, excluding unusual impairment and other charges and
credits, would have been 37.0% and 38.0% in 2000 and 1999, respectively. The one
point decrease is primarily due to the reduced impact of fixed non-deductible
expenses on higher pre-tax income in 2000, partially offset by the decreased
favorable impact of our foreign results.

       Our full-year effective tax rate in 1999 was an expense of 37.4% compared
with a benefit of 24.0% in 1998. In 1999, the impact of non-deductible goodwill
and other expenses on the effective tax rate was offset in part by lower
effective tax rates in our markets outside the U.S., and by higher overall
pre-tax income. In 1998, we settled a dispute with the Internal Revenue Service
regarding the deductibility of the amortization of acquired franchise rights,
resulting in a $46 million tax benefit in the fourth quarter. Also in 1998, our
effective tax rate was increased due to the unusual charges relating to the
Russia restructuring and asset write-offs for which we did not recognize a tax
benefit. Our effective tax rate, excluding the unusual impairment and other
charges and credits, would have been 38.0% and 0.9% in 1999 and 1998,
respectively.

Dilution

       Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could
occur if stock options from our stock compensation plan were exercised and
converted into common stock that would then participate in net income. Our
significant share price improvement during 2000 has resulted in $0.02 per share
of dilution.

Average Shares Outstanding

       The increase in shares outstanding over the last three years reflects our
initial public offering in March of 1999 and our share repurchase program. In
1999, immediately preceding our initial public offering, and in 1998 we had 55
million shares of common stock outstanding. In connection with the offering, we
sold 100 million shares of common stock to the public. Since our initial public
offering, shares outstanding reflect the effect of our share repurchase program,
which began in October 1999 when our Board of Directors authorized the
repurchase of up to 10 million shares of our common stock. In the second quarter
of 2000, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional 5
million shares. Net share repurchases were approximately 5 million in both 2000
and 1999, respectively.

Pro Forma Earnings per Share

       The table below sets forth earnings per share adjusted for the initial
public offering and the impact of our unusual impairment and other charges and
credits as previously discussed. In 1999, we assumed 155 million shares were
outstanding from the beginning of the year and further adjusted shares
outstanding for our share repurchase program. Similarly, the 1998 diluted
earnings per share amounts in the table below have been adjusted assuming 155
million shares had been outstanding for the entire fiscal year.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
- ---------------------------------

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

       Liquidity Prior to our Separation from PepsiCo and our Initial Public
       Offering

       We financed our capital investments and acquisitions through cash flow
from operations and advances from PepsiCo prior to our separation from PepsiCo
and our initial public offering. Under PepsiCo's centralized cash management
system, PepsiCo deposited sufficient cash in our bank accounts to meet our daily
obligations, and withdrew excess funds from those accounts. These transactions
are included in increase (decrease) in advances from PepsiCo in our Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows.

       Liquidity After our Initial Public Offering

       Subsequent to our initial public offering, we have financed our capital
investments and acquisitions primarily through cash flow from operations. We
believe that our future cash flow from operations and borrowing capacity will be
sufficient to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions, dividends and other
working capital requirements.

       Financing Transactions

       On February 9, 1999, $1.3 billion of 5 5/8% senior notes and $1.0 billion
of 5 3/8% senior notes were issued by Bottling Group, LLC and are guaranteed by
PepsiCo. On March 8, 1999, we issued $1 billion of 7% senior notes, which are
guaranteed by Bottling Group, LLC. During the second quarter of 1999, we
executed an interest rate swap converting 3% of our fixed-rate debt to
floating-rate debt.

       On March 31, 1999, we offered 100,000,000 shares of PBG common stock for
sale to the public in an underwritten initial public offering generating $2.2
billion of net proceeds.

       The proceeds from the above financing transactions were used to repay
obligations to PepsiCo and fund acquisitions.

       In April 1999, we entered into a $500 million commercial paper program
that is supported by a credit facility. The credit facility consists of two $250
million components, one of which expires in May 2001 and the other of which
expires in April 2004. There were no borrowings outstanding under this program
at December 30, 2000 or December 25, 1999.

       Capital Expenditures

       We have incurred and will require capital for ongoing infrastructure,
including acquisitions and investments in developing market opportunities.

       -      Our business requires substantial infrastructure investments to
              maintain our existing level of operations and to fund investments
              targeted at growing our business. Capital infrastructure
              expenditures totaled $515 million, $560 million and $507 million
              during 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. We believe that capital
              infrastructure spending will continue to be significant, driven by
              our investments in the cold drink segment and capacity needs.

       -      We intend to continue to pursue acquisitions of independent
              PepsiCo bottlers in the U.S. and Canada, particularly in
              territories contiguous to our own. These acquisitions will enable
              us to provide better service to our large retail customers, as
              well as to reduce costs through economies of scale. We also plan
              to evaluate international acquisition opportunities as they become
              available. Cash spending on acquisitions was $26 million, $176
              million and $546 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

CASH FLOWS

       Fiscal 2000 Compared to Fiscal 1999

       Operating free cash flow grew $112 million, or 70%, from $161 million in
1999 to $273 million in 2000. Operating free cash flow is defined as net cash
provided by operations less net cash used for investments, excluding cash used
for the acquisitions of bottlers.

       Net cash provided by operating activities increased $113 million to $831
million in 2000 driven by strong EBITDA growth partially offset by the timing of
casualty insurance payments in 2000, which significantly contributed to our
unfavorable change in operating working capital.

       Net cash used by investments decreased by $149 million from $733 million
in 1999 to $584 million in 2000, primarily due to acquisition spending, which
was $150 million lower in 2000. Capital expenditures decreased by $45 million,
or 8%, as increases in the U.S. associated with our cold drink strategy were
offset by decreases outside the U.S.

The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


       Net cash (used for) provided by financing decreased from a source of cash
of $174 million in 1999 to a use of cash of $115 million in 2000. This decrease
resulted from net cash received from IPO activities in 1999 coupled with an
increase of $13 million of share repurchases in 2000.

       Fiscal 1999 Compared to Fiscal 1998

       Operating free cash flow in 1999 grew $36 million, or 29%, to $161
million.

       Net cash provided by operations in 1999 improved to $718 million from
$625 million in 1998, due primarily to strong growth in EBITDA and favorable
working capital cash flows resulting from the timing of cash payments and our
continued focus on working capital management.

       Net cash used for investments was $733 million in 1999 compared to $1,046
million in 1998. In 1999, $176 million was utilized for the acquisition of
bottlers in the U.S., Canada and Russia, compared to $546 million in 1998. In
addition, we continued to invest heavily in cold drink equipment in the U.S. and
Canada, resulting in increased capital spending from $507 million in 1998 to
$560 million in 1999.

       Net cash provided by financing decreased by $196 million from $370
million to $174 million during 1999, mainly due to the net pay-down of $58
million of short-term borrowings in 1999, the payment in the first quarter of
1999 of long-term borrowings in Russia and $90 million of share repurchases in
the fourth quarter of 1999. Net IPO proceeds of $2.2 billion and proceeds from
the issuance of third-party debt of $3.3 billion were used to repay obligations
to PepsiCo and fund acquisitions.

MARKET RISKS AND CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

       We are exposed to various market risks including commodity prices,
interest rates on our debt and foreign currency exchange rates.

       Commodity Price Risk

       We are subject to market risks with respect to commodities because our
ability to recover increased costs through higher pricing may be limited by the
competitive environment in which we operate.

       We use futures contracts and options on futures in the normal course of
business to hedge anticipated purchases of certain raw materials and fuel used
in our operations. Currently we have various contracts outstanding for aluminum
and oil purchases in 2001, which establish our purchase price within defined
ranges.

       Interest Rate Risk

       We manage our interest rate exposure on our external debt using financial
instruments. We currently have an interest rate swap converting 3% of our
fixed-rate debt to floating-rate debt.

       Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

       Operating in international markets involves exposure to movements in
currency exchange rates. Currency exchange rate movements typically also affect
economic growth, inflation, interest rates, government actions and other
factors. These changes can cause us to adjust our financing and operating
strategies. The discussion below of changes in currency exchange rates does not
incorporate these other economic factors. For example, the sensitivity analysis
presented in the foreign currency discussion below does not take into account
the possibility that the impact of an exchange rate movement may or may not be
offset by the impact of changes in other categories.

       Operations outside the U.S. constitute approximately 15% of our net
revenues. As currency exchange rates change, translation of the statements of
operations of our businesses outside the U.S. into U.S. dollars affects
year-over-year comparability. We have not hedged currency risks because cash
flows from international operations have generally been reinvested locally, nor
historically have we entered into hedges to minimize the volatility of reported
earnings. We estimate that a 10% change in foreign exchange rates would affect
reported operating income by less than $15 million.

       Foreign currency gains and losses reflect translation gains and losses
arising from the re-measurement into U.S. dollars of the net monetary assets of
businesses in highly inflationary countries and transaction gains and losses.
Russia is considered a highly inflationary economy for accounting purposes and
all foreign currency gains and losses are included in the Consolidated
Statements of Operations.

EURO

       On January 1, 1999, eleven member countries of the European Union
established fixed conversion rates between existing currencies and one common
currency, the Euro. Beginning in January 2002, new Euro-denominated bills and
coins will be issued, and existing currencies will be withdrawn from
circulation. Spain is one of the original member countries that instituted the
Euro and, in June 2000, Greece also elected to institute the Euro effective
January 1, 2001. We have established plans to address the issues raised by the
Euro currency conversion. These issues include, among others, the need to adapt
computer and financial systems, business processes and equipment such as vending
machines to accommodate Euro-denominated transactions and the impact of one
common currency on cross-border pricing. Since financial systems and processes
currently accommodate multiple currencies, we do not expect the system and
equipment conversion costs to be material. Due to numerous uncertainties, we
cannot reasonably estimate the long-term effects one common currency may have on
pricing, costs and the resulting impact, if any, on our financial condition or
results of operations.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

       Except for the historical information and discussions contained herein,
statements contained in this annual report on Form 10-K may constitute
forward-looking statements as defined by the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are based on currently
available competitive, financial and economic data and PBG's operating plans.
These statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors that
could cause actual results to be materially different. Among the events and
uncertainties that could adversely affect future periods are lower-than-expected
net pricing resulting from marketplace competition, material changes from
expectations in the cost of raw materials and ingredients, an inability to
achieve the expected timing for returns on cold drink equipment and related
infrastructure expenditures, material changes in expected levels of marketing
support payments from PepsiCo, an inability to meet projections for performance
in newly acquired territories, unexpected costs associated with conversion to
the common European currency and unfavorable interest rate and currency
fluctuations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Tabular dollars in millions, except per share data
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1--BASIS OF PRESENTATION

       The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc. ("PBG") consists of bottling operations
located in the United States, Canada, Spain, Greece and Russia. These bottling
operations manufacture, sell and distribute Pepsi-Cola beverages including
Pepsi-Cola, Diet Pepsi, Mountain Dew and other brands of carbonated soft drinks
and ready-to-drink beverages. Approximately 90% of PBG's 2000 net revenues were
derived from the sale of Pepsi-Cola beverages. References to PBG throughout
these Consolidated Financial Statements are made using the first-person
notations of "we," "our" and "us."

       Prior to our formation, we were an operating unit of PepsiCo, Inc.
("PepsiCo"). On March 31, 1999, we offered 100,000,000 shares of PBG common
stock for sale at $23 per share in an initial public offering generating $2,208
million in net proceeds. These proceeds were used to fund acquisitions and repay
obligations to PepsiCo. Subsequent to the offering, PepsiCo owned and continues
to own 55,005,679 shares of common stock, consisting of 54,917,329 shares of
common stock and 88,350 shares of Class B common stock. PepsiCo's ownership at
December 30, 2000, represents 37.8% of the outstanding common stock and 100% of
the outstanding Class B common stock, together representing 46.0% of the voting
power of all classes of our voting stock. PepsiCo also owns 7.1% of the equity
of Bottling Group, LLC, our principal operating subsidiary, giving PepsiCo
economic ownership of 42.2% of our combined operations at December 30, 2000.

       The common shares and Class B common shares are substantially identical,
except for voting rights. Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote
per share and holders of our Class B common stock are entitled to 250 votes per
share. Each share of Class B common stock held by PepsiCo is, at PepsiCo's
option, convertible into one share of common stock. Holders of our common stock
and holders of our Class B common stock share equally on a per share basis in
any dividend distributions.

       The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include information
that has been presented on a "carve-out" basis for the periods prior to our
initial public offering. This information includes the historical results of
operations and assets and liabilities directly related to PBG, and has been
prepared from PepsiCo's historical accounting records. Certain estimates,
assumptions and allocations were made in determining such financial statement
information. Therefore, these Consolidated Financial Statements may not
necessarily be indicative of the results of operations, financial position or
cash flows that would have existed had we been a separate, independent company
from the first day of all periods presented.

NOTE 2--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

       BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION The accounts of all of our wholly and
majority-owned subsidiaries are included in the accompanying Consolidated
Financial Statements. We have eliminated intercompany accounts and transactions
in consolidation.

       FISCAL YEAR Our fiscal year ends on the last Saturday in December and, as
a result, a 53rd week is added every five or six years. Fiscal year 2000
consisted of 53 weeks while fiscal years 1999 and 1998 consisted of 52 weeks.

       REVENUE RECOGNITION We recognize revenue when goods are delivered to
customers. Sales terms do not allow a right of return unless product freshness
dating has expired. Reserves for returned product were $3 million at fiscal
year-end 2000 and $2 million at fiscal years ended 1999 and 1998, respectively.

       ADVERTISING AND MARKETING COSTS We are involved in a variety of programs
to promote our products. We include advertising and marketing costs in selling,
delivery and administrative expenses and expense such costs in the year
incurred. Advertising and marketing costs were $350 million, $342 million and
$293 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

       BOTTLER INCENTIVES PepsiCo and other brand owners, at their sole
discretion, provide us with various forms of marketing support. This marketing
support is intended to cover a variety of programs and initiatives, including
direct marketplace support, capital equipment funding and shared media and
advertising support. Based on the objective of the programs and initiatives, we
record marketing support as an adjustment to net revenues or as a reduction of
selling, delivery and administrative expenses. Direct marketplace support is
primarily funding by PepsiCo and other brand owners of sales discounts and
similar programs and is recorded as an adjustment to net revenues. Capital
equipment funding is designed to support the purchase and placement of marketing
equipment


                                       39



   16


and is recorded as a reduction of selling, delivery and administrative expenses.
Shared media and advertising support is recorded as a reduction to advertising
and marketing expense within selling, delivery and administrative expenses.
There are no conditions or other requirements that could result in a repayment
of marketing support received.

       The total bottler incentives we received from PepsiCo and other brand
owners were $566 million, $563 million and $536 million for 2000, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. Of these amounts, we recorded $277 million, $263 million and $247
million for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, in net revenues, and the
remainder as a reduction of selling, delivery and administrative expenses. The
amount of our bottler incentives received from PepsiCo was more than 90% of our
bottler incentives in each of the three years, with the balance received from
the other brand owners.

       STOCK-BASED EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION We measure stock-based compensation
expense in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees," and its related interpretations. Accordingly,
compensation expense for stock option grants to PBG employees is measured as the
excess of the quoted market price of common stock at the grant date over the
amount the employee must pay for the stock. Our policy is to grant stock options
at fair value on the date of grant.

       CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash equivalents represent funds we have temporarily
invested with original maturities not exceeding three months.

       INVENTORIES We value our inventories at the lower of cost computed on the
first-in, first-out method or net realizable value.

       PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT We state property, plant and equipment
("PP&E") at cost, except for PP&E that has been impaired, for which we write
down the carrying amount to estimated fair-market value, which then becomes the
new cost basis.

       INTANGIBLE ASSETS Intangible assets include both franchise rights and
goodwill arising from the allocation of the purchase price of businesses
acquired. Goodwill represents the residual purchase price after allocation to
all identifiable net assets. Franchise rights and goodwill are evaluated at the
date of acquisition and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated
useful lives, which in most cases is from 20 to 40 years.

       RECOVERABILITY OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS We review all long-lived assets,
including intangible assets, when facts and circumstances indicate that the
carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. When necessary, we write
down an impaired asset to its estimated fair value based on the best information
available. Estimated fair value is generally based on either appraised value or
measured by discounting estimated future cash flows. Considerable management
judgment is necessary to estimate discounted future cash flows. Accordingly,
actual results could vary significantly from such estimates.

       MINORITY INTEREST PBG and PepsiCo contributed bottling businesses and
assets used in the bottling businesses to Bottling Group, LLC, our principal
operating subsidiary, in connection with the formation of Bottling Group, LLC.
As a result of the contribution of these assets, PBG owns 92.9% of Bottling
Group, LLC and PepsiCo owns the remaining 7.1%. Accordingly, the Consolidated
Financial Statements reflect PepsiCo's share of consolidated net income of
Bottling Group, LLC as minority interest in our Consolidated Statements of
Operations, and PepsiCo's share of consolidated net assets of Bottling Group,
LLC as minority interest in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

       TREASURY STOCK We record the repurchase of shares of our common stock at
cost and classify these shares as treasury stock within shareholders' equity.
Repurchased shares are included in our authorized shares but not included in our
shares outstanding. We record shares reissued using an average cost. In the
second quarter of 2000 the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of 5
million shares of common stock, increasing the cumulative amount of shares that
can be repurchased from 10 million shares, which our Board of Directors
authorized in 1999, to 15 million shares. We made net repurchases of
approximately 5 million shares for $103 million in 2000 and approximately 5
million shares for $90 million in 1999.

       FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT We use futures contracts and
options on futures to hedge against the risk of adverse movements in the price
of certain commodities and fuel used in our operations. In order to qualify for
deferral hedge accounting of unrealized gains and losses, such instruments must
be designated and effective as a hedge of an anticipated transaction. Changes in
the value of instruments that we use to hedge commodity prices are highly
correlated to the changes in the value of the purchased commodity.



                                       40
   17


       We review the correlation and effectiveness of these financial
instruments on a periodic basis. Gains and losses on futures contracts that are
designated and effective as hedges of future commodity purchases are deferred
and included in the cost of the related raw materials when purchased. Financial
instruments that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting treatment are
marked-to-market with the resulting unrealized gain or loss recorded as other
income and expense within selling, delivery and administrative expenses.
Realized gains and losses that result from the early termination of financial
instruments used for hedging purposes are deferred and expensed when the
anticipated transaction actually occurs. Premiums paid for the purchase of
options on futures are recorded as a prepaid expense in the Consolidated Balance
Sheets and are amortized over the duration of the contract.

       From time to time, we utilize interest rate swaps to hedge our exposure
to fluctuations in interest rates. The interest differential to be paid or
received on an interest rate swap is recognized as an adjustment to interest
expense as the differential occurs. The interest differential not yet settled in
cash is reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as a
receivable or payable within the appropriate current asset or liability
captions. If we terminate an interest rate swap position, the gain or loss
realized upon termination would be deferred and amortized to interest expense
over the remaining term of the underlying debt instrument it was intended to
modify, or would be recognized immediately if the underlying debt instrument was
settled prior to maturity.

       We use prepaid forward contracts for the purchase of PBG common stock to
hedge the portion of our deferred compensation costs which are based on our
stock price. The forward contracts are reflected in our Consolidated Balance
Sheets at fair value as a prepaid expense and changes in fair value of these
contracts are reflected as interest expense in our Consolidated Statements of
Operations.

       SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS We record shipping and handling costs within
selling, delivery and administrative expenses. Such costs totaled $925 million,
$915 million and $882 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

       FOREIGN CURRENCY GAINS AND LOSSES We translate the balance sheets of our
foreign subsidiaries that do not operate in highly inflationary economies at the
exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, while we translate the
statements of operations at the average rates of exchange during the year. The
resulting translation adjustments of our foreign subsidiaries are recorded
directly to accumulated other comprehensive loss. Foreign currency gains and
losses reflect translation gains and losses arising from the re-measurement into
U.S. dollars of the net monetary assets of businesses in highly inflationary
countries and transaction gains and losses. Russia is considered a highly
inflationary economy for accounting purposes and we include all foreign currency
gains and losses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

       NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 133, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement establishes
accounting and reporting standards for hedging activities and derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts, which are collectively referred to as derivatives. It requires that
an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the
statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value.

       In July 1999, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
137, delaying the implementation of SFAS 133 for one year. SFAS 133 will now be
effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2001. In June 2000, the FASB
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 138, amending the accounting
and reporting standards of SFAS 133.

       We will implement the accounting and reporting standards of SFAS 133, as
amended by SFAS 138, on the first day of fiscal year 2001. The adoption of these
pronouncements will result in an increase in assets of less than $10 million and
a corresponding decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

       EARNINGS PER SHARE We compute basic earnings per share by dividing net
income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could
occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and
converted into common stock that would then participate in net income.

       RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain reclassifications were made in our consolidated
financial statements to 1999 and 1998 amounts to conform with the 2000
presentation.

NOTE 3--COMPARABILITY OF RESULTS

Asset Lives

       At the beginning of fiscal year 2000, we changed the estimated useful
lives of certain categories of assets primarily to reflect the success of our
preventive maintenance programs in extending the useful lives of these assets.
The changes, which are detailed in the table below, lowered total depreciation
expense by approximately $69 million, equivalent to $0.26 per diluted share.



                                                                                            Estimated Useful Lives

Fiscal Year

       Fiscal year 2000 consisted of 53 weeks while fiscal years 1999 and 1998
consisted of 52 weeks. The extra week in 2000 contributed approximately $0.05 of
additional diluted earnings per share to our 2000 operating results.

Initial Public Offering

       For the periods prior to our initial public offering, our Consolidated
Financial Statements have been "carved-out" from the financial statements of
PepsiCo using the historical results of operations and assets and liabilities of
our business. The Consolidated Financial Statements reflect certain costs that
may not necessarily be indicative of the costs we would have incurred had we
operated as an independent, stand-alone entity for all periods presented. These
costs include an allocation of PepsiCo's corporate overhead and interest
expense, and income taxes.

       -      We included corporate overhead related to PepsiCo's corporate
              administrative functions based on a specific identification of
              PepsiCo's administrative costs relating to the bottling operations
              and, to the extent that such identification was not practicable,
              based upon the percentage of our revenues to PepsiCo's
              consolidated net revenues. These costs are included in selling,
              delivery and administrative expenses in our Consolidated
              Statements of Operations.

       -      We allocated $3.3 billion of PepsiCo's debt to our business. We
              charged interest expense on this debt using PepsiCo's
              weighted-average interest rate. Once we issued $3.3 billion of
              third-party debt in the first quarter of 1999, our actual interest
              rates were used to determine interest expense for the remainder of
              the year.

       -      We reflected income taxes in our Consolidated Financial Statements
              as if we had actually filed a separate income tax return.

       The amounts, by year, of the historical allocations described above are

       The 1999 unusual items comprise the following:

       -      In connection with the completion of our initial public offering,
              PepsiCo vested substantially all non-vested PepsiCo stock options
              held by PBG employees. As a result, we incurred a $45 million
              non-cash compensation charge in the second quarter, equal to the
              difference between the market price of the PepsiCo capital stock
              and the exercise price of these options at the vesting date.


                                       42

       -      Employees now earn vacation time evenly throughout the year based
              upon service rendered. Previously, employees were fully vested for
              the current year at the beginning of each year. As a result of
              this change, we reversed an accrual of $53 million into income.

       -      In the fourth quarter, $8 million of the remaining 1998
              restructuring reserve was reversed into income, as actual costs
              incurred to renegotiate manufacturing and leasing contracts in
              Russia and to reduce the number of employees were less than the
              amounts originally estimated.

       The 1998 unusual items comprise the following:

       -      A fourth-quarter charge of $212 million for asset impairment of
              $194 million and other charges of $18 million related to the
              restructuring of our Russian bottling operations. The economic
              turmoil in Russia, which accompanied the devaluation of the ruble
              in August 1998, had an adverse impact on our operations.
              Consequently, in the fourth quarter we experienced a significant
              drop in demand, resulting in lower net revenues and increased
              operating losses. Additionally, since net revenues in Russia are
              denominated in rubles, whereas a substantial portion of costs and
              expenses at that time were denominated in U.S. dollars, our
              operating margins were further eroded. In response to these
              conditions, we reduced our cost structure primarily through
              closing four of our 26 distribution facilities, renegotiating
              manufacturing and leasing contracts and reducing the number of
              employees, primarily in sales and operations, from approximately
              4,500 to 2,000. We also evaluated the resulting impairment of
              long-lived assets, triggered by the reduction in utilization of
              assets caused by the lower demand, the adverse change in the
              business climate and the expected continuation of operating losses
              and cash deficits in that market. The impairment charge reduced
              the net book value of these assets from $245 million to $51
              million, their estimated fair market value based primarily on
              values paid for similar assets in Russia.

              A fourth-quarter charge of $10 million for employee-related and
              other costs, mainly relocation and severance, resulting from the
              separation of Pepsi-Cola North America's concentrate and bottling
              organizations.

       -      We recognized an income tax benefit of $46 million in the fourth
              quarter of 1998 upon the settlement of a disputed claim with the
              Internal Revenue Service relating to the deductibility of the
              amortization of acquired franchise rights.

       Identifiable intangible assets arise principally from the allocation of
the purchase price of businesses acquired, and consist primarily of territorial
franchise rights. Our franchise rights are typically perpetual in duration,
subject to compliance with the underlying franchise agreement. We assign amounts
to such identifiable intangibles based on their estimated fair value at the date
of acquisition. Goodwill represents the residual purchase price after allocation
to all identifiable net assets.

       Maturities of long-term debt as of December 30, 2000 are 2001: $1
million, 2002: $0, 2003: $0, 2004: $1,000 million, 2005: $0 and thereafter,
$2,305 million.

       The $1.3 billion of 5 5/8% senior notes and the $1.0 billion of 5 3/8%
senior notes were issued on February 9, 1999, by our subsidiary Bottling Group,
LLC and are guaranteed by PepsiCo. We issued the $1.0 billion of 7% senior
notes, which are guaranteed by Bottling Group, LLC, on March 8, 1999. During the
second quarter of 1999 we executed an interest rate swap converting 3% of our
fixed-rate debt to floating-rate debt.

       We allocated $3.3 billion of PepsiCo's long-term debt in our financial
statements prior to issuing the senior notes referred to above. Our interest
expense includes the related allocated interest expense of $28 million in 1999
and $210 million in 1998, and is based on PepsiCo's weighted-average interest
rate of 5.8% and 6.4% in 1999 and 1998, respectively.

       In April 1999, we entered into a $500 million commercial paper program
that is supported by a credit facility. The credit facility consists of two $250
million components, one of which expires in May 2001 and the other of which
expires in April 2004. There were no borrowings outstanding under this program
at December 30, 2000 or December 25, 1999.

       We have available short-term bank credit lines of approximately $135
million and $121 million at December 30, 2000 and December 25, 1999,
respectively. These lines are used to support general operating needs of our
business outside the U.S. The weighted-average interest rate of these lines of
credit outstanding at December 30, 2000, December 25, 1999 and December 26, 1998
was 8.9%, 12.0% and 8.7%, respectively.

       Amounts paid to third parties for interest were $202 million, $108
million and $20 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. In 1999 and 1998,
allocated interest expense was deemed to have been paid to PepsiCo, in cash, in
the period in which the cost was incurred.

NOTE 10--LEASES

       We have noncancellable commitments under both capital and long-term
operating leases. Capital and operating lease commitments expire at various
dates through 2023. Most leases require payment of related executory costs,
which include property taxes, maintenance and insurance.

       Our future minimum commitments under noncancellable leases are set forth

NOTE 11--FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

       As of December 30, 2000, our use of derivative instruments was limited to
interest rate swaps, and futures and options contracts entered into with
financial institutions. Our corporate policy prohibits the use of derivative
instruments for trading or speculative purposes, and we have procedures in place
to monitor and control their use.

       FAIR VALUE Financial assets with carrying values approximating fair value
include cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. Financial
liabilities with carrying values approximating fair value include accounts
payable and other accrued liabilities and short-term debt. The carrying value of
these financial assets and liabilities approximates fair value due to the short
maturity of our financial assets and liabilities, and since interest rates
approximate fair value for short-term debt.

       Long-term debt at December 30, 2000 has a carrying value and fair value
of $3.3 billion and $3.2 billion, respectively.

       COMMODITY PRICE RISK We use futures contracts and options on futures in
the normal course of business to hedge anticipated purchases of certain raw
materials and fuel used in our operations.

       Deferred gains and losses at year-end 2000 and 1999, as well as gains and
losses recognized as part of cost of sales in 2000, 1999 and 1998, were not
significant. At year-end 2000 and 1999, we had commodity contracts involving
notional amounts of $557 million and $152 million outstanding, respectively.
These notional amounts do not represent amounts exchanged by the parties and
thus are not a measure of our exposure; rather, they are used as the basis to
calculate the amounts due under the agreements.

       INTEREST RATE RISK Prior to our initial public offering, we had minimal
external interest rate risk to manage. Subsequent to the offering, as interest
rate risk has grown, we have begun to manage interest rate exposure through the
use of an interest rate swap, which converted 3% of our fixed-rate debt to
floating-rate debt. Credit risk from the swap agreement is dependent both on the
movement in interest rates and the possibility of non-payment by the swap
counterparty. We mitigate credit risk by only entering into swap agreements with
high credit-quality counterparties and by netting swap payments within each
contract. The notional amount, interest payment and maturity date of the swap
matches the notional amount, interest payment and maturity date of the related
debt and, accordingly, any market risk or opportunity associated with this swap
is fully offset by the opposite market impact on the related debt.

       OTHER RISKS At December 30, 2000, we had equity derivative contracts with
financial institutions with a notional amount of $10 million. These prepaid
futures contracts are for the purchase of PBG common stock and are used to hedge
the portion of our deferred compensation costs which are based on our stock
price. These contracts are marked-to-market with changes in fair value
recognized as interest expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The
change in fair value of these contracts was not significant in 2000. The fair
value of these contracts totaled $10 million at December 30, 2000 and was
recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets in our Consolidated
Balance Sheets.

NOTE 12--PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

PENSION BENEFITS

       Our U.S. employees participate in noncontributory defined benefit pension
plans, which cover substantially all full-time salaried employees, as well as
most hourly employees. Benefits generally are based on years of service and
compensation, or stated amounts for each year of service. All of our qualified
plans are funded and contributions are made in amounts not less than minimum
statutory funding requirements and not more than the maximum amount that can be
deducted for U.S. income tax purposes. Our net pension expense for the defined
benefit pension plans for our operations outside the U.S. was not significant.

                                       45
   22


POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

      Our postretirement plans provide medical and life insurance benefits
principally to U.S. retirees and their dependents. Employees are eligible for
benefits if they meet age and service requirements and qualify for retirement
benefits. The plans are not funded and since 1993 have included retiree cost
sharing.

COMPONENTS OF PENSION ASSETS

       The pension plan assets are principally invested in stocks and bonds.

HEALTH CARE COST TREND RATES

       We have assumed an average increase of 5.9% in 2001 in the cost of
postretirement medical benefits for employees who retired before cost sharing
was introduced. This average increase is then projected to decline gradually to
5.5% in 2005 and thereafter.

       Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the
amounts reported for postretirement medical plans. A one-percentage point change
in assumed health care costs would have the following effects:



                                                                                                                 1%            1%
                                                                                                              INCREASE      DECREASE
                                                                                                              --------      --------

Effect on the fiscal year 2000 accumulated postretirement benefit obligation..............................        5             (5)


OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

       We made several changes to our employee benefit plans that took effect in
fiscal year 2000. The changes were made to our vacation policy, pension and
retiree medical plans and included some benefit enhancements as well as cost
containment provisions. These changes did not have a significant impact on our
financial results in 2000.

       In 1999, our Board of Directors approved a matching company contribution
to our 401(k) plan, which began in 2000. The match is dependent upon the
employee's contribution and years of service. Fiscal year 2000 matching company
contributions were approximately $15 million.

       In the fourth quarter of 1999, we contributed $16 million to a defined
contribution plan as a one-time payment for the benefit of management employees.
The amount was based on full-year 1999 performance and included other
incentive-related features.

NOTE 13--EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLANS

       Under our long-term incentive plan, stock options are issued to middle
and senior management employees and vary according to salary and level within
PBG. Options granted in 2000 had exercise prices ranging from $18.75 per share
to $31.75 per share, expire in 10 years and become exercisable 25% after the
first year, 25% after the second year and the remainder after the third year.
Options granted in 1999 had exercise prices ranging from $19.25 per share to $23
per share and, with the exception of our chairman's options, are exercisable
after three years and expire in 10 years. Our chairman's 1999 options are
exercisable ratably over the three years following our initial public offering
date.

       In conjunction with our initial public offering, we issued a one-time
founders' grant of options to all full-time non-management employees in 1999 to
purchase 100 shares of PBG stock. These options have an exercise price equal to
the initial public offering price of $23 per share, are exercisable after three
years, and expire in 10 years.

       In connection with the completion of our initial public offering, PepsiCo
vested substantially all non-vested PepsiCo stock options held by PBG employees.
As a result, we incurred a $45 million non-cash compensation charge in the
second quarter of 1999, equal to the difference between the market price of the
PepsiCo capital stock and the exercise price of these options at the vesting
date.

       We adopted the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," but continue to measure
stock-based compensation cost in accordance with the Accounting Principles Board
Opinion 25 and its related interpretations. If we had measured compensation cost
for the stock options granted to our employees under the fair value based method
prescribed by SFAS 123, net income would have been changed to the pro forma

       We have net operating loss carryforwards totaling $402 million at
December 30, 2000, which are available to reduce future taxes in the U.S.,
Spain, Greece and Russia. Of these carryforwards, $40 million expire in 2001 and
$362 million expire at various times between 2002 and 2019. We have established
a full valuation allowance for the net operating loss carryforwards attributable
to Spain, Greece and Russia based upon our projection that these losses will
more likely than not expire before they can be used. In addition, at December
30, 2000 we have a tax credit carryforward in the U.S. of $7 million with an
indefinite carryforward period.

       Deferred taxes are not recognized for temporary differences related to
investments in foreign subsidiaries that are essentially permanent in duration.
Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred taxes related to these
investments is not practicable.

       Our valuation allowances, which reduce deferred tax assets to an amount
that will more likely than not be realized, have increased by $1 million and $12
million in 2000 and 1999, respectively.

       Income taxes receivable were $12 million and $0 at December 30, 2000 and
December 25, 1999, respectively. Such amounts are recorded within prepaid
expenses and other current assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts
paid to taxing authorities for income taxes were $147 million and $111 million
in 2000 and 1999, respectively. In 1998 our allocable share of income taxes was
deemed to have been paid to PepsiCo, in cash, in the period in which the cost
was incurred.

relationship with PepsiCo consist of:

       (1)    the master bottling agreement for cola beverages bearing the
              "Pepsi-Cola" and "Pepsi" trademark, including Pepsi, Diet Pepsi
              and Pepsi ONE in the United States; bottling and distribution
              agreements for non-cola products in the United States, including
              Mountain Dew; and a master fountain syrup agreement in the United
              States;

       (2)    agreements similar to the master bottling agreement and the
              non-cola agreements for each specific country, including Canada,
              Spain, Greece and Russia, as well as a fountain syrup agreement
              similar to the master syrup agreement for Canada;

       (3)    a shared services agreement whereby PepsiCo provides us with
              certain administrative support, including procurement of raw
              materials, transaction processing, such as accounts payable and
              credit and collection, certain tax and treasury services, and
              information technology maintenance and systems development.
              Beginning in 1998, a PepsiCo affiliate has provided casualty
              insurance to us; and

       (4)    transition agreements that provide certain indemnities to the
              parties, and provide for the allocation of tax and other assets,
              liabilities and obligations arising from periods prior to the
              initial public offering. Under our tax separation agreement,
              PepsiCo maintains full control and absolute discretion for any
              combined or consolidated tax filings for tax periods ending on or
              before the initial public offering. PepsiCo has contractually
              agreed to act in good faith with respect to all tax audit matters
              affecting us. In addition, PepsiCo has agreed to use their best
              efforts to settle all joint interests in any common audit issue on
              a basis consistent with prior practice.

       We purchase concentrate from PepsiCo that is used in the production of
carbonated soft drinks and other ready-to-drink beverages. We also produce or
distribute other products and purchase finished goods and concentrate through
various arrangements with PepsiCo or PepsiCo joint ventures. We reflect such
purchases in cost of sales.

       We share a business objective with PepsiCo of increasing the availability
and consumption of Pepsi-Cola beverages. Accordingly, PepsiCo provides us with
various forms of marketing support to promote its beverages. This support covers
a variety of initiatives, including marketplace support, marketing programs,
capital equipment investment and shared media expense. Based on the objective of
the programs and initiatives, we record marketing support as an adjustment to
net revenues or as a reduction of selling, delivery and administrative expense.

       We manufacture and distribute fountain products and provide fountain
equipment service to PepsiCo customers in some territories in accordance with
the Pepsi beverage agreements. We pay a royalty fee to PepsiCo for the Aquafina
trademark.

       The Consolidated Statements of Operations include the following income
(expense) amounts as a result of transactions with PepsiCo and its affiliates:



                                                                                         2000             1999             1998
                                                                                         ----             ----             ----

       We are not required to pay any minimum fees to PepsiCo, nor are we
obligated to PepsiCo under any minimum purchase requirements. There are no
conditions or requirements that could result in the repayment of any marketing
support payments received by us from PepsiCo.


       With respect to PepsiCo's 7.1% ownership of Bottling Group, LLC, Bottling
Group, LLC guarantees that to the extent there is available cash, they will
distribute pro rata to PepsiCo and PBG sufficient cash such that aggregate cash
distributed to PBG will enable us to pay income taxes and interest on our $1
billion 7% senior notes due 2029.

       Net amounts receivable from PepsiCo and its affiliates were $8 million
and $5 million at December 30, 2000 and December 25, 1999, respectively. Such
amounts are recorded within accounts receivable in our Consolidated Balance
Sheets.

NOTE 17--CONTINGENCIES

       We are subject to various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits,
taxes, environmental and other matters arising out of the normal course of
business. We believe that the ultimate liability arising from such claims or
contingencies, if any, in excess of amounts already recognized is not likely to
have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition
or liquidity.

NOTE 18--ACQUISITIONS

       During 2000 and 1999, we acquired the exclusive right to manufacture,
sell and distribute Pepsi-Cola beverages from several independent PepsiCo
franchise bottlers. These acquisitions were accounted for by the purchase
method. During 2000, we acquired two territories in Canada for an aggregate
purchase price of $26 million in cash. During 1999, we acquired four territories
in the U.S., one in Canada and one in Russia for an aggregate purchase price of
$185 million in cash and assumed debt. The aggregate purchase price exceeded the
fair value of net tangible assets acquired, including the resulting tax effect,
by approximately $14 million and $174 million in 2000 and 1999, respectively.
The excess was recorded in intangible assets.

      Number of shares on which basic earnings (loss) per share is based:

      Number of shares on which diluted
         earnings (loss) per share is based.......................            149,335          128,426            55,000

      Basic and diluted net income (loss) applicable to
         common shareholders......................................             $  229           $  118           $  (146)

      Basic earnings (loss) per share.............................             $ 1.55           $ 0.92           $ (2.65)

      Diluted earnings (loss) per share...........................             $ 1.53           $ 0.92           $ (2.65)


       Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could
occur if the stock options from our stock compensation plan were exercised and
converted into common stock that would then participate in net income. Our
significant share price improvement during 2000 has resulted in $0.02 per share
of dilution in 2000.

       In October 1999, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up
to 10 million shares of our common stock. In June of 2000, our Board of
Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional 5 million shares of our
common stock. We made net repurchases of approximately 5 million shares in both
2000 and 1999, respectively.

(1) Our 2000 results were impacted by a change in estimated useful lives of
certain categories of assets. The favorable impact of this change in asset lives
increased net income by $8 million in the first quarter, $10 million in the
second quarter, $9 million in the third quarter, $12 million in the fourth
quarter and $39 million for the full year.

(2) Includes a $45 million non-cash compensation charge ($29 million after tax).

(3) Includes $61 million of income for vacation policy changes and restructuring
accrual reversal ($38 million after tax).

The first, second and third quarters of each year consisted of 12 weeks, while
the fourth quarter consisted of 17 weeks in 2000 and 16 weeks in 1999. The extra
week in fiscal year 2000 contributed $7 million of additional net income to our
fourth quarter and fiscal year 2000 results.

MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

To Our Shareholders:

       We are responsible for the preparation, integrity and fair presentation
of the Consolidated Financial Statements, related notes and other information
included in this annual report. The Consolidated Financial Statements were
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America and include certain amounts based upon our estimates
and assumptions, as required. Other financial information presented in the
annual report is derived from the Consolidated Financial Statements.

       We maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting,
designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of the
Consolidated Financial Statements, as well as to safeguard assets from
unauthorized use or disposition. The system is supported by formal policies and
procedures, including an active Code of Conduct program intended to ensure
employees adhere to the highest standards of personal and professional
integrity. Our internal audit function monitors and reports on the adequacy of
and compliance with the internal control system, and appropriate actions are
taken to address significant control deficiencies and other opportunities for
improving the system as they are identified.

       The Consolidated Financial Statements have been audited and reported on
by our independent auditors, KPMG LLP, who were given free access to all
financial records and related data, including minutes of the meetings of the
Board of Directors and Committees of the Board. We believe that management
representations made to the independent auditors were valid and appropriate.

       The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, which is composed solely
of outside directors, provides oversight to our financial reporting process and
our controls to safeguard assets through periodic meetings with our independent
auditors, internal auditors and management. Both our independent auditors and
internal auditors have free access to the Audit Committee.

       Although no cost-effective internal control system will preclude all
errors and irregularities, we believe our controls as of December 30, 2000
provide reasonable assurance that our assets are safeguarded.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc.:

       We have audited the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets of The Pepsi
Bottling Group, Inc. as of December 30, 2000 and December 25, 1999, and the
related Consolidated Statements of Operations, Cash Flows and Changes in
Shareholders' Equity for each of the fiscal years in the three-year period ended
December 30, 2000. These Consolidated Financial Statements are the
responsibility of management of The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these Consolidated Financial
Statements based on our audits.

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

       In our opinion, the Consolidated Financial Statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Pepsi
Bottling Group, Inc. as of December 30, 2000 and December 25, 1999, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the fiscal years in the
three-year period ended December 30, 2000, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
