EXHIBIT 13
MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL REVIEW
TABULAR DOLLARS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
Our 2003 financial results reflected a number of economic and
marketplace challenges we faced in our largest markets. Our full-year results
for the U.S. and Mexico did not meet our original expectations, but we saw
significant improvement during the second half of the year. We continued our
well-established trends of generating strong cash flows from operations,
increasing pricing in the marketplace, and improving cost performance.
Additionally, Europe had a strong year, with solid topline and profit results
driven by volume growth, net price increases and benefits from foreign exchange.
In 2003, we generated net income of $416 million or diluted earnings
per share of $1.50, which includes a non-cash charge of $0.04 relating to a
Canadian tax law change enacted in December 2003 and a $0.02 non-cash charge
related to the adoption of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 02-16. Our
operating income grew 7% versus 2002 to $956 million, reflecting the impact of
our Mexican acquisition of Pepsi-Gemex in November 2002.
We were very pleased with our cash flow performance in 2003 as we
continued our strong track record of growing our cash from operations. We
generated $1.1 billion of cash from operations, net of approximately $162
million that we contributed into our pension plans, which are solidly funded.
With our strong cash flows, we utilized $644 million for capital investments to
grow our business and returned $483 million to our shareholders through our
share repurchase program. Additionally, during 2003 we took advantage of
favorable interest rates and issued $1.2 billion in debt with a combined
effective interest rate of less than 4% primarily for the repayment of our $1
billion 5.38% senior notes due in February 2004, ensuring a stable debt level at
a lower cost to the Company.
From a revenue perspective in the U.S., we were able to increase our
pricing in the marketplace by 2% during 2003 through consistent execution of our
strategies during the year. However, we were faced with a number of challenges
in the U.S., including changes in consumer preferences, declines in our cold
drink business and weakness in retail traffic. These factors contributed to
volume in the U.S. falling below our expectations, declining by 3% in the first
half of 2003 but improving to flat in the second half (before the impact of our
acquisitions), as we rebuilt momentum in our business. Despite these challenges,
we believe our product portfolio is well positioned to capture the opportunity
presented by changing consumer preferences. By and large, our brands are either
number one or a strong number two across the beverage spectrum. Additionally, we
have a strong position in the important cold drink channel, which is our most
profitable business.
We managed our U.S. operating costs very effectively during 2003. Even
though our operating costs did increase slightly during the year due to higher
pension, employee benefit and casualty costs, we were able to largely offset
these increases with productivity gains due to improvements in our operational
efficiencies and selling execution in the marketplace.
Our Mexico business represents approximately 9% of our worldwide
operating income. Although our first full-year results in this market did not
meet our expectations due to a weak economy, competitive pressures and the
steady devaluation of the Mexican peso, this acquisition was solidly accretive
adding $0.06 per share to our diluted EPS. We are encouraged about the future
opportunities in Mexico. Mexico represents an important growth market for us as
its soft drink consumption per capita is second in the world only to the United
States. We also sell a great portfolio of products, including the number one
water brand in Mexico, ELECTROPURA.
During 2003, we successfully fine-tuned our pricing architecture and
packaging configuration in Mexico to ensure we are providing the right consumer
value. We consolidated a number of our warehouses and distribution systems in
Mexico to capitalize on productivity gains and to provide better service for our
customers. We also implemented a standard organization structure to improve our
capability and reduce redundancies. These operational changes have already
resulted in significant cost savings.
OUTLOOK
In 2004, we expect solid worldwide operating income growth in the
mid-single digits versus the prior year and to generate diluted EPS of $1.62 to
$1.70 for the full-year. We expect our worldwide volume to grow in the low
single digits and net revenue per case growth of about 1%. From a cash flow
perspective, we expect to generate strong cash provided by operations of about
$1.2 billion and we plan to spend between $675 million and $700 million in
capital investments.
18
Our U.S. priorities in 2004 will be to improve our revenue growth by
revitalizing cold drink performance, improving Trademark PEPSI trends and
continuing to increase pricing. We will do this through new brand and package
innovation to meet changing consumer tastes, increased media spending on brand
PEPSI by PepsiCo and execution of brand PEPSI-led promotions throughout 2004. In
the U.S. we expect volume to increase 1% to 2% for the full year. Net revenue
per case is expected to increase approximately 2% in 2004, with three quarters
of the growth coming from rate increases and the remainder of the growth coming
from the mix of products we sell. We anticipate our U.S. operating income will
grow in the mid-single digits.
In Mexico, our focus will be to continue to drive consumer value,
strengthen our execution and build brand equity. We expect our physical case
volume in Mexico to grow in the low single digits versus 2003 and our net
revenue per case to be down slightly in pesos. We expect our operating income in
U.S. dollars to be flat to down in the high single digits in 2004, reflecting
continued progress from an operating standpoint offset by an anticipated
devaluation of the peso.
As we move through 2004, we will continue to focus upon the key
building blocks of our past success, great brands, the right people and our
selling execution process. Our front line sales people have the tools needed to
provide our customers with the right products at the right time. In combination,
our approach to the marketplace will allow us to continue to be a world-class
selling organization in every location where we do business.
OVERVIEW
The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc. ("PBG" or the "Company") is the world's
largest manufacturer, seller and distributor of Pepsi-Cola beverages. We have
the exclusive right to manufacture, sell and distribute Pepsi-Cola beverages in
all or a portion of the United States, Mexico, Canada, Spain, Greece, Russia and
Turkey. When used in these Consolidated Financial Statements, "PBG," "we," "our"
and "us" each refers to the Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc. and, where appropriate,
to Bottling Group, LLC, our principal operating subsidiary.
We believe our financial success is largely dependent on the number of
physical cases we sell and the net price we achieve on a per-case basis.
Physical cases represent the number of units that are actually produced,
distributed and sold. Each case of product, regardless of package configuration,
represents one physical case. Our net price on a per case basis is impacted by
how much we charge for the product, the mix of brands and packages we sell, and
the channels in which the product is sold. For example, we realize a higher net
revenue per case on 20-ounce chilled bottles sold in a convenience store than
two-liter unchilled bottles sold in a grocery store. Our profitability is also
dependent on how well we manage our raw material, manufacturing, distribution
and other overhead costs. In order to achieve profitable growth, we need to
extend the same discipline and focus we employ in revenue execution to cost
productivity.
The following discussion and analysis covers the key drivers behind our
business performance in 2003 and is categorized into six major sections. The
first three sections discuss critical accounting policies, related party
transactions and 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.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
("U.S. GAAP") requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts in our Consolidated Financial Statements and the related
accompanying notes, including various claims and contingencies related to
lawsuits, taxes, environmental and other matters arising out of the normal
course of business. We use our best judgment, based on the advice of external
experts and our knowledge of existing facts and circumstances and actions that
we may undertake in the future, in determining the estimates that affect our
Consolidated Financial Statements. For each of the critical accounting estimates
discussed below we have reviewed our policies, assumptions and related
disclosures with our Audit and Affiliated Transactions Committee.
19
ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS - A portion of our accounts receivable
will not be collected due to customer disputes and bankruptcies. Estimating an
allowance for doubtful accounts requires significant management judgment and is
dependent upon the overall economic environment and our customers' viability. We
provide reserves for these situations based on the evaluation of the aging of
our trade receivable portfolio and an in-depth analysis of our high-risk
customers. Our reserves contemplate our historical loss rate on receivables,
specific customer situations and the economic environments in which we operate.
We have effective credit controls in place to manage these exposures and believe
that our allowance for doubtful accounts adequately provides for these risks.
Our allowance for doubtful accounts was $72 million, $67 million and
$42 million as of December 27, 2003, December 28, 2002 and December 29, 2001,
respectively. Our allowance for doubtful accounts represents management's best
estimate of probable losses inherent in our portfolio. The following is an
analysis of the allowance for doubtful accounts for the fiscal years ended
December 27, 2003, December 28, 2002 and December 29, 2001:

RECOVERABILITY OF GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS WITH INDEFINITE LIVES
- - During 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets," which requires that goodwill and intangible assets
with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead be tested for
impairment. Effective the first day of fiscal year 2002, we no longer amortize
goodwill and certain other indefinite-lived intangible assets, but evaluate them
for impairment annually.
Our identified intangible assets principally arise from the allocation
of the purchase price of businesses acquired, and consist primarily of franchise
rights, distribution rights and brands. We assign amounts to such identified
intangibles based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The
determination of the expected life will be dependent upon the use and underlying
characteristics of the identified intangible asset. In determining whether our
intangible assets have an indefinite useful life, we consider the following, as
applicable: the nature and terms of underlying agreements; our intent and
ability to use the specific asset contained in an agreement; the age and market
position of the products within the territories we are entitled to sell; the
historical and projected growth of those products; and costs, if any, to renew
the agreement.
We evaluate our identified intangible assets with indefinite useful
lives for impairment annually on an individual basis or by asset groups on a
country-by-country basis, depending on the nature of the intangible asset. We
measure impairment as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds its
estimated fair value.
The fair value of our franchise rights and distribution rights is
measured using a multi-period excess earnings method that is based upon
estimated discounted future cash flows, including a terminal value, which
assumes the franchise rights and distribution rights will continue in
perpetuity. We deduct a contributory charge from our net after-tax cash flows
for the economic return attributable to our working capital, other intangible
assets and property plant and equipment, which represents the required cash flow
to support these assets. The net discounted cash flows in excess of the fair
returns on these assets represent the fair value of our franchise rights and
distribution rights.
The fair value of our brands is measured using a multi-period royalty
saving method, which reflects the savings realized by owning the brand and,
therefore, not having to pay a royalty fee to a third party. In valuing our
brands, we have selected an estimated industry royalty rate relating to each
brand and then applied it to the forecasted revenues associated with each brand.
The net discounted after-tax cash flows from these royalty charges represent the
fair value of our brands.
Our discount rate utilized in each fair value calculation is based upon
our weighted-average cost of capital plus an additional risk premium to reflect
the risk and uncertainty inherent in separately acquiring the identified
intangible asset between a willing buyer and a willing seller. The additional
risk premium associated with our discount rate effectively eliminates the
20
benefit that we believe results from synergies, scale and our assembled
workforce, all of which are components of goodwill. Each year we re-evaluate our
assumptions in our discounted cash flow model to address changes in our business
and marketplace conditions.
Based upon our annual impairment analysis performed in the fourth
quarter of 2003, the estimated fair values of our identified intangible assets
with indefinite lives exceeded their carrying amounts.
We evaluate goodwill on a country-by-country basis ("reporting unit")
for impairment. We evaluate each reporting unit for impairment based upon a
two-step approach. First, we compare the fair value of our reporting unit with
its carrying value. Second, if the carrying value of our reporting unit exceeds
its fair value, we compare the implied fair value of the reporting unit's
goodwill to its carrying amount to measure the amount of impairment loss. In
measuring the implied fair value of goodwill, we would allocate the fair value
of the reporting unit to each of its assets and liabilities (including any
unrecognized intangible assets). Any excess of the fair value of the reporting
unit over the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities is the implied fair
value of goodwill.
We measure the fair value of a reporting unit as the discounted
estimated future cash flows, including a terminal value, which assumes the
business continues in perpetuity, less its respective minority interest and net
debt (net of cash and cash equivalents). Our long-term terminal growth
assumptions reflect our current long-term view of the marketplace. Our discount
rate is based upon our weighted average cost of capital for each reporting unit.
Each year we re-evaluate our assumptions in our discounted cash flow model to
address changes in our business and marketplace conditions.
Based upon our annual impairment analysis in the fourth quarter of
2003, the estimated fair value of our reporting units exceeded their carrying
value and as a result, we did not need to proceed to the second step of the
impairment test.
Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate discounted
future cash flows in conducting an impairment test for goodwill and other
identified intangible assets, which may be impacted by future actions taken by
us and our competitors and the volatility in the markets in which we conduct
business. A change in assumptions in our cash flows could have a significant
impact on the fair value of our reporting units and other identified intangible
assets, which could then result in a material impairment charge to our results
of operations.
PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS - We sponsor pension and other
postretirement benefit plans in various forms, covering employees who meet
specified eligibility requirements. We account for our defined benefit pension
plans and our postretirement benefit plans using actuarial models required by
SFAS No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions," and SFAS No. 106, "Employers'
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." The amounts
necessary to fund future payouts under these plans are subject to numerous
assumptions and variables including anticipated discount rate, expected rate of
return on plan assets and future compensation levels. We evaluate these
assumptions with our actuarial advisors on an annual basis and we believe that
they are appropriate and within acceptable industry ranges, although an increase
or decrease in the assumptions or economic events outside our control could have
a material impact on reported net income.
The assets, liabilities and assumptions used to measure expense for any
fiscal year are determined as of September 30 of the preceding year
("measurement date"). The discount rate assumption used in our pension and
postretirement benefit plans' accounting is based on current interest rates for
high-quality, long-term corporate debt as determined on each measurement date.
In evaluating our rate of return on assets for a given fiscal year, we consider
the 10-15 year historical return of our pension investment portfolio, reflecting
the weighted return of our plan asset allocation. Over the past three fiscal
years the composition of our plan assets was approximately 70%-75% equity
investments and 25%-30% fixed income securities, which primarily consist of U.S.
government and corporate bonds. Differences between actual and expected returns
are generally recognized in the net periodic pension calculation over five
years. To the extent the amount of all unrecognized gains and losses exceeds 10%
of the larger of the benefit obligation or plan assets, such amount is amortized
over the average remaining service life of active participants. The rate of
future compensation increases is based upon our historical experience and
management's best estimate regarding future expectations. We amortize prior
service costs on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period
of employees expected to receive benefits.
21
For our postretirement plans that provide medical and life insurance
benefits, we review external data and our historical health care cost trends
with our actuarial advisors to determine the health care cost trend rates.
During 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act
of 2003 (the "Act") was passed into law. The reported postretirement benefit
obligation in our Consolidated Balance Sheet does not reflect the effects of the
Act. We do provide prescription drug benefits to Medicare-eligible retirees but
have elected to defer recognition of the Act until the FASB provides guidance
regarding its accounting treatment. This deferral election is permitted under
FASB Staff Position FAS 106-1. We do not believe the adoption of the Act will
have a material impact on our consolidated results.
We used the following weighted-average assumptions to compute our
pension and postretirement expense:
2003 2002 2001
------- ------- -------
Discount rate .................................................... 6.75% 7.50% 7.75%
Expected return on plan assets (net of administrative expenses)... 8.50% 9.50% 9.50%
Rate of compensation increase .................................... 4.34% 4.33% 4.62%
During 2003, our defined benefit pension and postretirement expenses
totaled $77 million. In 2004, our defined benefit pension and postretirement
expenses will increase by $12 million to $89 million due primarily to the
following factors:
- A decrease in our weighted-average discount rate for our
pension and postretirement expense from 6.75% to 6.25%,
reflecting declines in the yields of long-term corporate
bonds. This assumption change will increase our 2004 defined
benefit pension and postretirement expense by approximately
$15 million.
- Amortization of prior asset losses resulting from differences
between our expected and actual return on plan assets, changes
in demographics and medical trend rates, and other plan
changes will increase our 2004 defined benefit pension and
postretirement expense by approximately $11 million.
- Contributions of $162 million to our pension plan during 2003
will reduce our 2004 defined benefit pension expense by
approximately $14 million. Our plans have been funded to be in
compliance with the funding provisions of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and have been made in
accordance with applicable tax regulations that provide for
current tax deductions for our contributions and for taxation
to the employee of plan benefits when the benefits are
received.
CASUALTY INSURANCE COSTS - Due to the nature of our business, we
require insurance coverage for certain casualty risks. Given the rapidly
increasing costs associated with obtaining third-party insurance coverage for
our casualty risks in the U.S., we moved to a self-insurance program in 2002. In
2003, we were self-insured for workers' compensation, automobile, product and
general liability risks for occurrences up to $5 million. We purchased casualty
insurance from a third-party for losses per occurrence exceeding $5 million. The
casualty insurance costs for our self-insurance program represent the estimated
ultimate net cost of all reported and unreported losses incurred during a fiscal
year. We do not discount loss expense reserves.
Our liability for casualty costs of $127 million and $69 million as of
December 27, 2003 and December 28, 2002, respectively, is estimated using
individual case-based valuations and statistical analyses and is based upon
historical experience, actuarial assumptions and professional judgment. These
estimates are subject to the effects of trends in loss severity and frequency
and are subject to a significant degree of inherent variability. We evaluate
these estimates with our actuarial advisors on an annual basis and we believe
that they are appropriate and within acceptable industry ranges, although an
increase or decrease in the estimates or economic events outside our control
could have a material impact on reported net income. Accordingly, the ultimate
settlement of these costs may vary significantly from the estimates included in
our financial statements.
INCOME TAXES - Our effective tax rate is based on pre-tax income,
statutory tax rates and tax planning strategies available to us in the various
jurisdictions in which we operate. The tax bases of our assets and liabilities
reflect our best estimate of the tax benefit and costs we expect to realize.
Significant management judgment is required in determining our effective tax
rate and in evaluating our tax position. We establish reserves when, despite our
belief that our tax return positions are supportable, we believe these positions
may be challenged. We adjust these reserves as warranted by changing facts and
circumstances. A
22
change in our tax reserves could have a significant impact on our results of
operations.
Under our tax separation agreement with PepsiCo, Inc. ("PepsiCo"),
PepsiCo maintains full control and absolute discretion for any combined or
consolidated tax filings for tax periods ended on or before our initial public
offering that occurred in March 1999. However, PepsiCo may not settle any issue
without our written consent, which consent cannot be unreasonably withheld.
PepsiCo has contractually agreed to act in good faith with respect to all tax
audit matters affecting us. In accordance with the tax separation agreement, we
will bear our allocable share of any risk or upside resulting from the
settlement of tax matters affecting us for these periods.
A number of years may elapse before a particular matter for which we
have established a reserve is audited and finally resolved. The number of years
for which we have audits that are open varies depending on the tax jurisdiction.
The U.S. Internal Revenue Service is currently examining our and PepsiCo's joint
tax returns for 1994 through 1997 and our tax returns for 1999 and 2000. We
expect that these audits will be completed in 2004. While it is often difficult
to predict the final outcome or the timing of the resolution, we believe that
our reserves reflect the probable outcome of known tax contingencies. Favorable
resolutions would be recognized as a reduction of our tax expense in the year of
resolution. Unfavorable resolutions would be recognized as a reduction to our
reserves, a cash outlay for settlement and a possible increase to our annual tax
provision.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
PepsiCo is considered a related party due to the nature of our
franchisee relationship and its ownership interest in our company. Over 80% of
our volume is derived from the sale of Pepsi-Cola beverages. At December 27,
2003, PepsiCo owned approximately 40.6% of our outstanding common stock and 100%
of our outstanding class B common stock, together representing approximately
45.8% of the voting power of all classes of our voting stock. In addition,
PepsiCo owns 6.8% of the equity of Bottling Group, LLC, our principal operating
subsidiary. We fully consolidate the results of Bottling Group, LLC and present
PepsiCo's share as minority interest in our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Our business is conducted primarily under beverage agreements with
PepsiCo, including a master bottling agreement, non-cola bottling agreement and
a master syrup agreement. Additionally, under a shared services agreement, we
obtain various services from PepsiCo, which include procurement of raw materials
and certain information technology and administrative services.
We review our annual marketing, advertising, management and financial
plans each year with PepsiCo for its approval. If we fail to submit these plans,
or if we fail to carry them out in all material respects, PepsiCo can terminate
our beverage agreements. Because we depend on PepsiCo to provide us with
concentrate, bottler incentives and various services, changes in our
relationship with PepsiCo could have a material adverse effect on our business
and financial results.
As part of our franchise relationship, we purchase concentrate from
PepsiCo, pay royalties and produce or distribute other products through various
arrangements with PepsiCo or PepsiCo joint ventures. Total net amounts paid or
payable to PepsiCo or PepsiCo joint ventures for these arrangements was $2,521
million, $2,153 million and $1,927 million in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
In order to promote PepsiCo beverages, PepsiCo, at its discretion,
provides us with various forms of bottler incentives. These incentives are
mutually agreed-upon between PepsiCo and us and cover a variety of initiatives,
including direct marketplace support, capital equipment funding and advertising
support. Based on the objectives of the programs and initiatives, we record
bottler incentives as an adjustment to net revenues, cost of sales or selling,
delivery and administrative expenses. Beginning in 2003, due to the adoption of
Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 02-16, "Accounting by a Customer
(Including a Reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor," we
have changed our accounting methodology for the way we record bottler
incentives. See Note 2 in Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for a
discussion on the change in classification of these bottler incentives. Bottler
incentives received from PepsiCo, including media costs shared by PepsiCo, were
$646 million, $560 million and $554 million for 2003, 2002 and 2001,
respectively. Changes in our bottler incentives and funding levels could
materially affect our business and financial results.
23
We manufacture and distribute fountain products and provide fountain
equipment service to PepsiCo customers in some territories in accordance with
the Pepsi beverage agreements. Amounts received from PepsiCo for these
transactions are offset by the cost to provide these services and are reflected
in our Consolidated Statements of Operations in selling, delivery and
administrative expenses. Net amounts paid or payable by PepsiCo to us for these
services were approximately $200 million, $200 million and $185 million, in
2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
We provide and receive various services from PepsiCo and PepsiCo
affiliates pursuant to a shared services agreement and other arrangements. In
the absence of these agreements, we would have to obtain such services on our
own. We might not be able to obtain these services on terms, including cost,
that are as favorable as those we receive from PepsiCo. Total net expenses
incurred with PepsiCo and PepsiCo affiliates were approximately $62 million, $57
million and, $133 million during 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
We purchase snack food products from Frito-Lay, Inc., a subsidiary of
PepsiCo, for sale and distribution in all of Russia except Moscow. Amounts paid
or payable to PepsiCo and its affiliates for snack food products were $51
million, $44 million and $27 million in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Our
agreement with Frito-Lay expires in 2004; however, we expect to renew the
agreement and continue our relationship with Frito-Lay.
For further audited information about our relationship with PepsiCo and
its affiliates see Note 14 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
ITEMS THAT AFFECT HISTORICAL OR FUTURE COMPARABILITY
Gemex Acquisition
In November 2002, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of
Gemex. Our total acquisition cost consisted of a net cash payment of $871
million and assumed debt of approximately $318 million. See Note 16 in Notes to
our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information relating to
Gemex and other bottling operations we have acquired in 2003 and 2002.
SFAS No. 142
During 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets," which requires that goodwill and intangible assets with
indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for
impairment. Effective the first day of fiscal year 2002, we no longer amortize
goodwill and certain other intangible assets, but evaluate them for impairment
annually. See Note 2 in Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements and the
preceding section entitled Critical Accounting Policies for additional
information.
EITF Issue No. 02-16
In January 2003, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached a
consensus on Issue No. 02-16, "Accounting by a Customer (Including a Reseller)
for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor," addressing the recognition
and income statement classification of various cash consideration given by a
vendor to a customer. The consensus requires that certain cash consideration
received by a customer from a vendor is presumed to be a reduction of the price
of the vendor's products, and therefore should be characterized as a reduction
of cost of sales when recognized in the customer's income statement, unless
certain criteria are met to overcome this presumption. EITF Issue No. 02-16
became effective beginning in our fiscal year 2003. Prior to 2003 we classified
worldwide bottler incentives received from PepsiCo and other brand owners as
adjustments to net revenues and selling, delivery and administrative expenses,
depending on the objective of the program. In accordance with EITF Issue No.
02-16, we have classified certain bottler incentives as a reduction of cost of
sales beginning in 2003.
See Note 2 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for
additional information and pro forma adjustments for bottler incentives that
would have been made to our reported results for the 52-weeks ended December 28,
2002 and December 29, 2001 assuming that EITF Issue No. 02-16 had been in place
for all periods presented.
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
2003, PepsiCo announced an increase of approximately 2% in the price of U.S.
concentrate. PepsiCo has recently announced a further increase of approximately
0.7%, effective February 2004.

Total Worldwide Volume Change.. 20%
==
Our full-year reported worldwide physical case volume increased 20% in
2003 versus 2002. The increase in reported worldwide volume was due entirely to
our acquisitions. Our acquisition of Gemex contributed over 90% of the growth
resulting from acquisitions.
In the U.S., our base business volume decreased 2% versus 2002 due to
changes in consumer preferences, declines in our cold drink business and
weakness in retail traffic. (The term "base business" reflects territories that
we owned and operated for comparable periods in both the current year and the
prior year.) However, during the second half of 2003, we saw improvement in our
cold drink business as we began to implement changes to ensure that we have the
right consumer value and the right space allocation for our products in the cold
vaults. From a brand perspective, as consumers sought more variety, we saw
declines in brand PEPSI, partially offset by strong growth in AQUAFINA and
lemon-lime volume, led by SIERRA MIST, coupled with product introductions such
as PEPSI VANILLA and MOUNTAIN DEW LIVEWIRE.
Outside the U.S., our base business volume increased by 4%. The
increase in base business volume outside the U.S. was driven by warm summer
weather in Europe, coupled with a strong performance in Russia, resulting from
growth in AQUA MINERALE and the launch of PEPSI X.

Total Worldwide Net Revenues Change .... 11%
===
25
Net revenues were $10.3 billion in 2003, an 11% increase over the prior
year. Approximately 72% of our net revenues was generated in the United States,
11% of our net revenues was generated in Mexico and the remaining 17% was
generated outside the United States and Mexico. The increase in net revenues in
2003 was driven primarily by our acquisition of Gemex, which contributed more
than 85% of the growth resulting from acquisitions. Our base business net
revenues were flat in 2003 versus 2002. In 2003, base business net revenues were
favorably impacted by foreign currency translation and price increases, offset
by the reclassification of certain bottler incentives from net revenues to cost
of sales resulting from the adoption of EITF Issue No. 02-16.
In the U.S., net revenues decreased 2% in 2003 versus 2002. The
decrease in U.S. net revenues was due to a decline in volume and the impact of
adopting EITF Issue No. 02-16. This was partially offset by a 2% increase in
marketplace pricing and incremental revenue from acquisitions. Net revenues
outside the U.S. grew approximately 74% in 2003 versus 2002. The increase in net
revenues outside the U.S. was driven by our Gemex acquisition and an increase in
our base business revenues of 13%. The increase in base business net revenues
outside the U.S. was the result of favorable foreign currency translation in
Canada and Europe, volume growth, and a 3% increase in pricing, partially offset
by a decline due to the impact of adopting EITF Issue No. 02-16.
In 2004, we expect our worldwide net revenue per case to grow about 1%
as compared with 2003.

Total Worldwide Cost of Sales Change .. 4%
===
Cost of sales was $5.2 billion in 2003, a 4% increase over 2002. The
increase in cost of sales was due primarily to our acquisition of Gemex, which
contributed over 80% of the growth resulting from acquisitions, partially offset
by a decline in our base business costs. The decline in base business cost of
sales was due primarily to the reclassification of certain bottler incentives
from net revenues and selling, delivery and administrative expenses to cost of
sales resulting from the adoption of EITF Issue No. 02-16, partially offset by
increases in cost per case and the negative impact of foreign currency
translation.
In the U.S., cost of sales decreased 7% in 2003 versus 2002. The
decrease in U.S. cost of sales was driven by volume declines and the impact of
adopting EITF Issue No. 02-16, partially offset by cost per case increases and
incremental costs from acquisitions. In the U.S., cost per case increased by 3%
resulting from higher concentrate and resin costs, coupled with the mix of
products we sell.
Our base business cost of sales outside the U.S. decreased
approximately 1% in 2003 versus 2002. The decrease in base business cost of
sales outside the U.S. was driven from the impact of adopting EITF Issue No.
02-16, partially offset by the negative impact of foreign currency translation
in Canada and Europe, and increases in both cost per case and volume.
In 2004, we expect our worldwide cost of sales per case will increase
in the low single digits as compared with 2003.

Selling, delivery and administrative expenses were $4.1 billion in
2003, a 23% increase over 2002. The increase in selling, delivery and
administrative expenses was driven primarily by our acquisition of Gemex and
increases in our base business costs. Gemex contributed more than 90% of the
growth resulting from acquisitions. The 9% increase in our base business
selling, delivery and administrative expenses was due to the reclassification of
certain bottler incentives from selling, delivery and administrative expenses to
cost of sales resulting from the adoption of EITF Issue No. 02-16, coupled with
the impact of foreign currency translation in Canada and Europe and an increase
in our base business cost performance. Our base business cost performance
increased 1% as a result of higher pension, employee benefit and casualty costs,
partially offset by a reduction in our bad debt expense and productivity gains
due to improvements in our operational efficiencies and selling execution to the
marketplace.
In 2004, we expect our worldwide selling, delivery and administrative
expenses in dollars will increase in the low single digits as compared with
2003.

Total Worldwide Operating Income Change ..... 7%
===
Operating income was $956 million in 2003, a 7% increase over 2002. The
increase in operating income was due primarily to our acquisition of Gemex,
partially offset by a 1% decrease in our base business. The decrease in our base
business operating income resulted from increased selling, delivery and
administrative expenses, partially offset by the improvement in the net impact
of gross margin rate and mix in the U.S. and Europe, coupled with the favorable
impact of foreign currency translation in Canada and Europe.
In 2004, we expect our worldwide operating income to grow in the
mid-single digits versus 2003.
INTEREST EXPENSE, NET
Interest expense, net increased by $48 million to $239 million, when
compared with 2002, largely due to the additional interest associated with the
$1 billion 4.63% senior notes used to finance our acquisition of Gemex in
November 2002 and the additional $1.2 billion of debt issued during 2003. This
was partially offset by the lower effective interest rate achieved on our fixed
rate long-term debt from the use of interest rate swaps.
MINORITY INTEREST
Minority interest represents PepsiCo's approximate 6.8% ownership in
our principal operating subsidiary, Bottling Group, LLC.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE BEFORE RATE CHANGE
Our full-year effective tax rate for 2003 was 34.4% before our income
tax rate change expense. This rate corresponds to an effective tax rate of 34.0%
in 2002. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the
unfavorable mix in pre-tax income in jurisdictions with higher effective tax
rates.
INCOME TAX RATE CHANGE EXPENSE (BENEFIT)
In December 2003, legislation was enacted changing certain Canadian
provincial income tax rates. These rate changes increased deferred tax
liabilities by $11 million and resulted in a non-cash charge in 2003.

27
Dilution
Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could
occur if equity awards from our stock compensation plans were exercised and
converted into common stock that would then participate in net income. Our
employee equity award issuances have resulted in $0.04, $0.06 and $0.04 per
share of dilution in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Diluted Weighted-Average Shares Outstanding
The decrease in shares outstanding reflects the effect of our share
repurchase program, which began in October 1999, partially offset by share
issuances from the exercise of stock options. The amount of shares authorized by
the Board of Directors to be repurchased totals 75 million shares, of which we
have repurchased approximately 23 million shares in 2003 and 63 million shares
since the inception of our share repurchase program.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - 2002
VOLUME
Our worldwide reported physical case volume increased 8% in 2002,
reflecting a 6% increase in volume resulting from our acquisitions and a 2%
increase in base volume. In the U.S., reported volume increased by 2%,
reflecting a 1% increase from acquisitions and a 1% increase in base volume. The
weakness in the economy and less travel caused softness in our U.S. results in
the second half of the year. However, take-home volume, particularly in food
stores, as well as volume in our convenience and gas segment continues to grow.
Additionally, U.S. volume growth continued to benefit from innovation, as well
as the strong growth of AQUAFINA, offset by declines in trademark PEPSI. Outside
the U.S., our volumes increased 32%, reflecting a 29% increase from our
acquisitions in Turkey and Mexico. Volume outside the U.S. from our base
business increased 3% due to double-digit growth in Russia driven by the strong
performance of trademark PEPSI and AQUA MINERALE, our water product, which was
partially offset by volume declines in Spain.
NET REVENUES
Reported net revenues were $9.2 billion in 2002, a 9% increase over the
prior year, reflecting an 8% increase in volume and a 1% increase in net revenue
per case. In the U.S., reported net revenues increased 5%, reflecting a 3%
increase in net revenue per case and a 2% increase in volumes. Net revenue per
case growth in the U.S. benefited from rate increases combined with lapping of
account level investment spending in the fourth quarter of 2001. Reported net
revenues outside the U.S. grew approximately 32%, reflecting a 32% increase in
volume, offset by a 1% decrease in net revenue per case. Net revenue per case
outside the U.S. grew 3% after excluding the impact of acquisitions. The
favorable impact of currency translation contributed more than 1% to our net
revenue per case growth in 2002 outside the United States.
COST OF SALES
Cost of sales was $5.0 billion in 2002, a 9% increase over the prior
year, reflecting an 8% increase in volume and a 1% increase in cost of sales per
case. In the U.S., cost of sales increased by 5%, reflecting a 3% increase in
cost of sales per case and a 2% increase in volume. The increase in U.S. cost of
sales per case was driven by higher concentrate costs and mix shifts into higher
cost packages. Cost of sales outside the U.S. grew by 31%, reflecting a 32%
increase in volume, offset by a 1% decrease in cost of sales per case.
SELLING, DELIVERY AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, delivery and administrative expenses grew $130 million, or 4%
in 2002. Had we adopted SFAS No. 142 on the first day of 2001, amortization
expense would have been lowered by $129 million in 2001. The impact of the
adoption of SFAS No. 142 was largely offset by increased selling, delivery and
administrative expenses resulting from our acquisitions in Mexico and Turkey.
Excluding acquisitions and the effects of adopting SFAS No. 142, selling,
delivery and administrative expenses were up 4% for the year, driven by growth
in our business and our continued investment in marketing equipment, partially
offset by favorable productivity gains. Selling, delivery and administrative
expenses were also favorably impacted as we lapped higher labor costs associated
with labor contract negotiations in the prior year, partially offset by
increased accounts receivable reserves resulting from the deterioration of the
financial condition of certain customers.
OPERATING INCOME
Operating income was $898 million in 2002, representing a 33% increase
over 2001. This growth reflects the positive impact from higher pricing, volume
growth from our acquisitions and base business, and the adoption of SFAS No. 142
during 2002, partially offset by increased selling, delivery and administrative
expenses. This growth was a reflection of higher
28
pricing, volume growth from our acquisitions and base business, partially offset
by increased selling, delivery and administrative expenses resulting from growth
in our business.
INTEREST EXPENSE, NET
Net interest expense decreased by $3 million or 2%, in 2002, primarily
reflecting the lower interest rate environment partially offset by increased
interest expense from our issuance of $1 billion in debt, the proceeds of which
were used to finance our acquisition of Gemex.
OTHER NON-OPERATING EXPENSE, NET
Net other non-operating expense in 2002 increased $7 million due
primarily to the amortization of premiums associated with derivative instruments
that were used to mitigate currency risk in our acquisition of Gemex.
MINORITY INTEREST
Minority interest represents PepsiCo's approximate 7% ownership in our
principal operating subsidiary, Bottling Group, LLC.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE
Our full-year effective tax rate for 2002 was 34.0%, a 2.5 percentage
point decrease from the prior year before our income tax rate change benefit.
The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily a result of the
implementation of SFAS No. 142 in 2002, as goodwill amortization is not
deductible under the U.S. tax code.
LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As a result of the strong cash flows that we generate from our
operations, we have been able to fund most of our capital investments, share
repurchases and acquisitions, with the exception of Gemex, which was financed
through the issuance of $1 billion of senior notes. We believe that our future
cash flows from operations and borrowing capacity will be sufficient to fund
capital expenditures, acquisitions, dividends and working capital requirements
for the foreseeable future.
We have a $500 million commercial paper program that is supported by
two $250 million credit facilities. During the second quarter of 2003, we
renegotiated the credit facilities. One of the credit facilities expires in
April 2004, which we intend to renew, and the other credit facility expires in
April 2008. There are certain financial covenants associated with these credit
facilities. Both credit facilities are guaranteed by Bottling Group, LLC. We
have used these credit facilities to support our commercial paper program in
2003 and 2002, however, there were no borrowings outstanding under these credit
facilities at December 27, 2003, or December 28, 2002.
We have available short-term bank credit lines of approximately $302
million and $167 million at December 27, 2003 and December 28, 2002,
respectively. These lines were used to support the general operating needs of
our businesses outside the United States. The weighted-average interest rate for
used lines of credit outstanding at December 27, 2003, and December 28, 2002,
was 4.17% and 8.85%, respectively.
During the second quarter of 2003, Bottling Group, LLC issued $250
million of senior notes with a coupon rate of 4.13%, maturing on June 15, 2015.
We used the net proceeds of this offering primarily for general corporate
purposes.
During the third quarter of 2003, Bottling Group, LLC filed a shelf
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")
that was declared effective by the SEC on September 5, 2003. Under this
registration statement, we have the capability to issue, in one or more
offerings, up to $1 billion in senior notes. Pursuant to the shelf registration
statement, on October 7, 2003, we completed an offering of $500 million 2.45%
senior notes due on October 16, 2006. In addition, on November 17, 2003, we
completed an offering of $400 million 5.0% senior notes due on November 15,
2013. In February 2004, we have used the net proceeds from these offerings for
the repayment of a portion of our $1 billion principal amount of 5.38% senior
notes. Pending such use, the net proceeds were invested in several short-term
instruments with original maturities of three months or less and were classified
as cash and cash equivalents in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Each of the senior notes mentioned above has redemption features and
covenants that will, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of
our restricted subsidiaries to create or assume liens, enter into sale and
lease-back transactions, engage in mergers or consolidations and transfer or
lease all or substantially all of our assets.
We believe we are in compliance with all debt covenants in our
indenture agreements and credit facilities.

(6) Primarily relates to contractual obligations associated with
non-compete contracts that resulted from business acquisitions. The

Financial Statements, such as pension, postretirement and other
non-contractual obligations. The timing of payments under these
obligations cannot be reasonably estimated. See Note 10 in Notes to our
Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of our future
pension and postretirement contributions.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There are no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably
likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition,
changes in financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital
expenditures or capital resources.
Capital Expenditures
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 $644 million,
$623 million and $593 million during 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
In 2004, we expect our capital expenditures to be approximately 6% to
7% of net revenues.
Acquisitions
During 2003 we acquired the operations and exclusive right to
manufacture, sell and distribute beverages from three franchise bottlers. The
following acquisitions occurred for an aggregate purchase price of $91 million
in cash and the assumption of liabilities of $13 million:
- Pepsi-Cola Buffalo Bottling Corp. of Buffalo, New York in
February.
- Cassidy's Beverage Limited of New Brunswick, Canada in
February.
- Olean Bottling Works, Inc. of Olean, New York in August.
During 2003, we also paid $5 million for the purchase of certain
distribution rights relating to SOBE and DR. PEPPER. In addition, we paid $4
million for purchase obligations relating to acquisitions made in the prior
year.
During 2002, we acquired the operations and exclusive right to
manufacture, sell and distribute beverages of several different PepsiCo
franchise bottlers. The following acquisitions occurred for an aggregate
purchase price of $936 million in cash and $388 million of assumed debt:
- Fruko Mesrubat Sanayii A.S. and related companies of Turkey in
March.
- Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company of Macon, Inc. of Georgia in
March.
- Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company of Aroostook, Inc., of Presque
Isle, Maine in June.
- Seaman's Beverages Limited of the Canadian province of Prince
Edward Island in July.
30
- Pepsi-Gemex, S.A. de C.V. of Mexico in November.
- Kitchener Beverages Limited of Ontario, Canada in December.
The Mexican and Turkish acquisitions were made to allow us to increase
our markets outside the United States. Our U.S. and Canadian acquisitions were
made to enable us to provide better service to our large retail customers. We
expect these acquisitions to reduce costs through economies of scale.
We intend to continue to pursue other acquisitions of independent
PepsiCo bottlers in the U.S., Mexico and Canada, particularly in territories
contiguous to our own, where they create shareholder value. We also intend to
continue to evaluate other international acquisition opportunities as they
become available.
CASH FLOWS
Fiscal 2003 Compared with Fiscal 2002
Our net cash provided by operations of $1,084 million was driven by the
strong cash flow generated from the sale of our products. Net operating cash
flow grew by $70 million over the prior year due primarily to the incremental
cash generated by our Mexican business. This increase was partially offset by
higher worldwide tax payments, U.S. casualty insurance payments and the
settlement of our New Jersey wage and hour litigation.
Net cash used for investments decreased by $1.0 billion to $734
million, reflecting lower acquisition spending during 2003 and the lapping of a
$181 million investment in our debt defeasance trust in the prior year,
partially offset by increases in capital expenditures.
Net cash provided by financing decreased by $20 million to $653
million, driven by higher share repurchases and lower stock option exercises,
offset by an increase in our proceeds from long-term debt.
Fiscal 2002 Compared with Fiscal 2001
Net cash provided by operations increased $132 million to $1,014
million reflecting strong operating income growth, coupled with lower income tax
payments and higher non-cash casualty and benefits expenses, offset by an
increase in our pension contributions.
Net cash used for investments increased by $1,027 million to $1,734
million, primarily due to the six acquisitions we made during the year, coupled
with the investment in our debt defeasance trust and an increase in capital
expenditures, as we continued to invest in small bottle production lines and
cold drink equipment.
Net cash provided by financing increased by $882 million to $673
million, driven by proceeds received from our issuance of $1.0 billion of 4.63%
senior notes to finance our acquisition of Gemex and an increase in stock option
exercises, offset by a reduction of short and long-term borrowings primarily
outside the United States.
MARKET RISKS AND CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
In the normal course of business, our financial position is routinely
subject to a variety of risks. These risks include the risk associated with the
price of commodities purchased and used in our business, interest rates on
outstanding debt and currency movements of non-U.S. dollar denominated assets
and liabilities. We are also subject to the risks associated with the business
environment in which we operate, including the collectibility of accounts
receivable. We regularly assess all of these risks and have policies and
procedures in place to protect against the adverse effects of these exposures.
Our objective in managing our exposure to fluctuations in commodity
prices, interest rates, and foreign currency exchange rates is to minimize the
volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with changes in the applicable
rates and prices. To achieve this objective, we primarily enter into commodity
forward contracts, commodity futures and options on futures contracts and
interest rate swaps. 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.
A sensitivity analysis has been prepared to determine the effects that
market risk exposures may have on the fair values of our debt and other
financial instruments. To perform the sensitivity analysis, we assessed the risk
of loss in fair values from the hypothetical changes in commodity prices,
interest rates, and foreign currency exchange rates on market-sensitive
instruments.
31
Information provided by this sensitivity analysis does not necessarily represent
the actual changes in fair value that we would incur under normal market
conditions because, due to practical limitations, all variables other than the
specific market risk factor were held constant. In addition, the results of the
analysis are constrained by the fact that certain items are specifically
excluded from the analysis, while the financial instruments that relate to the
financing or hedging of those items are included. As a result, the reported
changes in the values of some financial instruments that affect the results of
the sensitivity analysis are not matched with the offsetting changes in the
values of the items that those instruments are designed to finance or hedge.
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 commodities used in our operations. With respect to
commodity price risk, we currently have various contracts outstanding for
commodity purchases in 2004, which establish our purchase prices within defined
ranges. We had $19 million in unrealized deferred gains and $16 million in
unrealized losses based on the commodity rates in effect on December 27, 2003
and December 28, 2002, respectively. We estimate that a 10% decrease in
commodity prices with all other variables held constant would have resulted in a
decrease in the fair value of our financial instruments of $17 million and $32
million at December 27, 2003 and December 28, 2002, respectively.
Interest Rate Risk
The fair value of our fixed-rate long-term debt is sensitive to changes
in interest rates. Interest rate changes would result in gains or losses in the
fair market value of our debt, representing differences between market interest
rates and the fixed-rate on the debt. As a result of the market risk, we
effectively converted $1.8 billion of our fixed-rate debt to floating-rate debt
through the use of interest rate swaps. The fair value of our interest rate
swaps resulted in an increase to our swap and debt instruments of $3 million and
$23 million at December 27, 2003 and December 28, 2002, respectively.
We estimate that a 10% decrease in interest rates with all other
variables held constant would have resulted in a net increase in the fair value
of our financial instruments, both our fixed-rate debt and our interest rate
swaps, of $160 million and $147 million at December 27, 2003 and December 28,
2002, respectively.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
In 2003, approximately 28% of our net revenues came from outside the
United States. Social, economic, and political conditions in these international
markets may adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows, and
financial condition. The overall risks to our international businesses include
changes in foreign governmental policies, and other political or economic
developments. These developments may lead to new product pricing, tax or other
policies, and monetary fluctuations, which may adversely impact our business. In
addition, our results of operations and the value of the foreign assets and
liabilities are affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
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 generally have not hedged against currency
risks because cash flows from our international operations are usually
reinvested locally. In addition, we historically have not entered into hedges to
minimize the volatility of reported earnings. Based on our overall evaluation of
market risk exposures for our foreign currency financial instruments at December
27, 2003 and December 28, 2002, near-term changes in foreign currency exchange
rates would not materially affect our consolidated financial position, results
of operations or cash flows in those periods.
Foreign currency gains and losses reflect both transaction gains and
losses in our foreign operations, as well as translation gains and losses
arising from the re-measurement into U.S. dollars of the net monetary assets of
businesses in highly inflationary countries. Turkey and Russia were considered
highly inflationary economies for accounting purposes in 2002. Beginning in
2003, Russia is no longer considered highly inflationary, and as a result,
changed its functional currency from the U.S. dollar to the Russian ruble. There
was no material impact on our consolidated financial statements as a result of
Russia's change in functional currency in 2003.
In 2003, approximately 11% of our net revenues was derived from Mexico.
In 2003, the Mexican peso devalued by approximately 8%. Future significant
movements in the Mexican peso could have a material impact on our financial
results.
32
Unfunded Deferred Compensation Liability
Our unfunded deferred compensation liability is subject to changes in
our stock price as well as price changes in certain other equity and fixed
income investments. Employees participating in our deferred compensation program
can elect to defer all or a portion of their compensation to be paid out on a
future date or dates. As part of the deferral process, employees select from
phantom investment options that determine the earnings on the deferred
compensation liability and the amount that they will ultimately receive.
Employee investment elections include PBG stock and a variety of other equity
and fixed-income investment options.
Since the plan is unfunded, employees' deferred compensation amounts
are not directly invested in these investment vehicles. Instead, we track the
performance of each employee's investment selections and adjust his or her
deferred compensation account accordingly. The adjustments to the employees'
accounts increases or decreases the deferred compensation liability reflected on
our Consolidated Balance Sheets with an offsetting increase or decrease to our
selling, delivery and administrative expenses.
We use prepaid forward contracts to hedge the portion of our deferred
compensation liability that is based on our stock price. Therefore, changes in
compensation expense as a result of changes in our stock price are substantially
offset by the changes in the fair value of these contracts. We estimate that a
10% unfavorable change in the year-end stock price would have reduced the fair
value from these commitments by $2 million in 2003 and 2002.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
Except for the historical information and discussions contained herein,
statements contained in this annual report on Form 10-K and in the annual report
to the shareholders 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 our 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:
- - changes in our relationship with PepsiCo that could have a material
adverse effect on our business and financial results;

could increase our costs;
- - decreased demand for our product resulting from changes in consumers'
preferences;
- - an inability to achieve volume growth through product and packaging
initiatives;
- - lower-than-expected net pricing resulting from marketplace competition
and competitive pressures that may cause channel and product mix to
shift from more profitable cold drink channels and packages;
- - material changes from expectations in the cost of raw materials and
ingredients;
- - an inability to achieve cost savings;
- - an inability to achieve the expected timing for returns on cold drink
equipment and related infrastructure expenditures;
- - material changes in expected levels of bottler incentive payments from
PepsiCo;
- - changes in product category consumption;
- - unfavorable weather conditions in our markets;
- - unforeseen economic and political changes;
- - possible recalls of our products;
- - an inability to meet projections for performance in newly acquired
territories;
- - changes in laws and regulations, including restrictions on the sale of
carbonated soft drinks in schools, changes in food and drug laws,
transportation regulations, employee safety rules, labor laws,
accounting standards, taxation requirements (including unfavorable
outcomes from audits performed by various tax authorities) and
environmental laws;
- - changes in our debt ratings; and
- - material changes in our expected interest and currency exchange rates
and unfavorable market performance of our pension plan assets.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Tabular dollars in millions, except per share data
NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc. ("PBG" or the "Company") is the world's
largest manufacturer, seller and distributor of Pepsi-Cola beverages, consisting
of bottling operations located in the United States, Mexico, Canada, Spain,
Greece, Russia and Turkey. When used in these Consolidated Financial Statements,
"PBG," "we," "our" and "us" each refers to the Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc. and,
where appropriate, to Bottling Group, LLC, our principal operating subsidiary.
PepsiCo, Inc. ("PepsiCo") owns 106,011,358 shares of our common stock,
consisting of 105,911,358 shares of common stock and 100,000 shares of Class B
common stock. All shares of Class B common stock that have been authorized have
been issued to PepsiCo. At December 27, 2003, PepsiCo owned approximately 40.6%
of our outstanding common stock and 100% of our outstanding Class B common
stock, together representing approximately 45.8% of the voting power of all
classes of our voting stock. In addition, PepsiCo owns 6.8% of the equity of
Bottling Group, LLC, our principal operating subsidiary. We fully consolidate
the results of Bottling Group, LLC and present PepsiCo's share as minority
interest in our Consolidated Financial Statements.
The common stock and Class B common stock both have a par value of
$0.01 per share and 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 is 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.
Our Board of Directors has the authority to issue up to 20,000,000
shares of preferred stock, and to determine the price and terms, including, but
not limited to, preferences and voting rights, of those shares without
stockholder approval. At December 27, 2003, there was no preferred stock
outstanding.
Certain reclassifications were made in our Consolidated Financial
Statements to 2002 and 2001 amounts to conform to the 2003 presentation.
NOTE 2 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
("U.S. GAAP") requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect 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 U.S. and Canadian operations report using a fiscal
year that consists of 52 weeks, ending on the last Saturday in December. Every
five or six years a 53rd week is added. Fiscal years 2003, 2002 and 2001
consisted of 52 weeks. Our remaining countries report using a calendar-year
basis. Accordingly, we recognize our quarterly business results as outlined
below:
Quarter U.S. & Canada Mexico & Europe
------- ------------- ---------------
First Quarter 12 weeks January and February
Second Quarter 12 weeks March, April and May
Third Quarter 12 weeks June, July and August
Fourth Quarter 16 weeks September, October, November
and December
REVENUE RECOGNITION - We recognize revenue when our products are
delivered to customers. Sales terms allow for a right of return if product
freshness dating has expired or breakage has occurred.
SALES INCENTIVES - We offer certain sales incentives to our customers,
which are accounted for as a reduction in our net revenues when incurred. A
number of these arrangements are based upon annual and quarterly targets that
generally do not exceed one year. Based upon forecasted volume and other
performance criteria, net revenues in our Consolidated Statements of Operations
are reduced by the expected amounts to be paid out to our customers.
38
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
fiscal year incurred. Advertising and marketing costs were $453 million, $441
million and $389 million in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, before bottler
incentives received from PepsiCo and other brand owners.
BOTTLER INCENTIVES - PepsiCo and other brand owners, at their sole
discretion, provide us with various forms of bottler incentives. These
incentives are mutually agreed-upon between us and PepsiCo and other brand
owners and cover a variety of initiatives, including direct marketplace support,
capital equipment funding and advertising support. Based on the objective of the
programs and initiatives, we record bottler incentives as an adjustment to net
revenues, cost of sales or selling, delivery and administrative expenses.
Beginning in 2003, due to the adoption of Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF")
Issue No. 02-16, "Accounting by a Customer (Including a Reseller) for Certain
Consideration Received from a Vendor," we have changed our accounting
methodology for the way we record bottler incentives. Prior to 2003, we
classified worldwide bottler incentives received from PepsiCo and other brand
owners as adjustments to net revenues and selling, delivery and administrative
expenses depending on the objective of the program. In accordance with EITF
Issue No. 02-16, we have classified certain bottler incentives as a reduction of
cost of sales, beginning in 2003 as follows:
- - Direct marketplace support represents PepsiCo's and other brand owners'
agreed-upon funding to assist us in offering sales and promotional
discounts to retailers and is generally recorded as an adjustment to
cost of sales beginning in 2003. If the direct marketplace support is a
reimbursement for a specific, incremental and identifiable program, the
funding is recorded as an adjustment to net revenues. Prior to 2003,
all direct marketplace support was recorded as an adjustment to net
revenues.
- - Capital equipment funding is designed to help offset the costs of
purchasing and installing marketing equipment, such as vending machines
and glass door coolers at customer locations and is recorded as a
reduction of cost of sales beginning in 2003. Prior to 2003, capital
equipment funding was recorded as a reduction to selling, delivery and
administrative expenses.
- - Advertising support represents agreed-upon funding to assist us for the
cost of media time and promotional materials and is generally recorded
as an adjustment to cost of sales. Advertising support that represents
reimbursement for a specific, incremental and identifiable media cost,
is recorded as a reduction to advertising and marketing expenses within
selling, delivery and administrative expenses. Prior to 2003, all
funding for media costs was recorded as an adjustment to selling,
delivery and administrative expenses.
Total bottler incentives recognized as adjustments to net revenues,
cost of sales and selling, delivery and administrative expenses in our
Consolidated Statements of Operations were as follows:
52-WEEKS ENDED
2003 2002 2001
---- ---- ----
Net revenues.................................... $ 55 $293 $293
Cost of sales................................... 527 -- --
Selling, delivery and administrative expenses... 108 311 305
---- ---- ----
Total bottler incentives..................... $690 $604 $598
==== ==== ====
See "New Accounting Standards" for the pro-forma disclosure to our
reported results for the 52-weeks ended December 28, 2002 and December 29, 2001,
assuming that EITF Issue No. 02-16 had been in place for all periods presented.
SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS - We record the majority of our shipping
and handling costs within selling, delivery and administrative expenses. Such
costs totaled $1,397 million, $1,172 million and $1,092 million in 2003, 2002
and 2001, respectively.
39
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 both transaction gains and losses in our foreign operations, as
well as translation gains and losses arising from the remeasurement into U.S.
dollars of the net monetary assets of businesses in highly inflationary
countries. Turkey and Russia were considered highly inflationary economies for
accounting purposes in 2002 and 2001. Beginning in 2003, Russia is no longer
considered highly inflationary, and as a result, changed its functional currency
from the U.S. dollar to the Russian ruble. There was no material impact on our
consolidated financial statements as a result of Russia's change in functional
currency in 2003.
PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS - We sponsor pension and other
postretirement benefit plans in various forms covering substantially all
employees who meet eligibility requirements. We account for our defined benefit
pension plans and our postretirement benefit plans using actuarial models
required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 87,
"Employers' Accounting for Pensions," and SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting
for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions."
The assets, liabilities and assumptions used to measure expense for any
fiscal year are determined as of September 30 of the preceding year
("measurement date"). Differences between actual and expected returns are
generally recognized in the net periodic pension calculation over five years. To
the extent the amount of all unrecognized gains and losses exceeds 10% of the
larger of the benefit obligation or plan assets, such amount is amortized over
the average remaining service life of active participants. We amortize prior
service costs on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period
of employees expected to receive benefits. For additional unaudited information,
see "Critical Accounting Policies" in Management's Financial Review.
INCOME TAXES - Our effective tax rate is based on pre-tax income,
statutory tax rates and tax planning strategies available to us in the various
jurisdictions in which we operate. The tax bases of our assets and liabilities
reflect our best estimate of the tax benefit and costs we expect to realize.
Valuation allowances are established where expected future taxable income does
not support the recognition of the related deferred tax asset. For additional
unaudited information, see "Critical Accounting Policies" in Management's
Financial Review.
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.
CASH EQUIVALENTS - Cash equivalents represent funds we have temporarily
invested with original maturities not exceeding three months.
ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS - We determine our allowance for
doubtful accounts based on the evaluation of the aging of our trade receivable
portfolio and an in-depth analysis of our high-risk customers. Our reserves
contemplate our historical loss rate on receivables, specific customer
situations, and the economic environments in which we operate. For additional
unaudited information, see "Critical Accounting Policies" in Management's
Financial Review.
INVENTORIES - We value our inventories at the lower of cost or net
realizable value. The cost of our inventory in the majority of locations is
computed on the first-in, first-out method. In Turkey, we compute the cost of
our inventories at the lower of cost computed using the weighted-average cost
method.
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.
40
GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET - During 2001, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets," which requires that goodwill and intangible assets with
indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for
impairment. Effective the first day of fiscal year 2002, we no longer amortize
goodwill and certain intangible assets, but evaluate them for impairment
annually. See "New Accounting Standards" for the pro-forma disclosure to our
reported results for the 52-weeks ended December 29, 2001, assuming that SFAS
No. 142 had been in place for all periods presented.
We evaluate our identified intangible assets with indefinite useful
lives for impairment annually on an individual basis or by asset groups on a
country-by-country basis, depending on the nature of the intangible asset. We
measure impairment as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds its
estimated fair value. Based upon our annual impairment analysis performed in the
fourth quarter of 2003, the estimated fair values of our identified intangible
assets with indefinite lives exceeded their carrying amounts.
We evaluate goodwill on a country-by-country basis ("reporting unit")
for impairment. We evaluate each reporting unit for impairment based upon a
two-step approach. First, we compare the fair value of our reporting unit with
its carrying value. Second, if the carrying value of our reporting unit exceeds
its fair value, we compare the implied fair value of the reporting unit's
goodwill to its carrying amount to measure the amount of impairment loss. In
measuring the implied fair value of goodwill, we would allocate the fair value
of the reporting unit to each of its assets and liabilities (including any
unrecognized intangible assets). Any excess of the fair value of the reporting
unit over the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities is the implied fair
value of goodwill. Based upon our annual impairment analysis in the fourth
quarter of 2003, the estimated fair value of our reporting units exceeded their
carrying value and as a result, we did not need to proceed to the second step of
the impairment test.
Other identified intangible assets that are subject to amortization are
amortized over the period in which we expect to receive economic benefit and are
reviewed for impairment when facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying
value of the asset may not be recoverable. The determination of the expected
life will be dependent upon the use and underlying characteristics of the
intangible asset. In our evaluation of the intangible assets, we consider the
nature and terms of the underlying agreements, the customer's attrition rate,
competitive environment, and brand history, as applicable. If the carrying value
is not recoverable, impairment is measured as the amount by which the carrying
value exceeds its estimated fair value. Fair value is generally estimated based
on either appraised value or other valuation techniques. For additional
unaudited information, see "Critical Accounting Policies" in Management's
Financial Review.
INVESTMENT IN DEBT DEFEASANCE TRUST - In 2002 we purchased $181 million
in U.S. government securities and placed those securities into an irrevocable
trust, for the sole purpose of funding payments of principal and interest on the
$160 million of 9.75% senior notes maturing in March 2004, in order to defease
their respective covenants. These marketable securities have maturities that
coincide with the scheduled interest payments of the senior notes and ultimate
payment of principal. We have categorized these marketable securities as
held-to-maturity as we have the positive intent and ability to hold these
securities to maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are carried at amortized
cost. At December 27, 2003, total amortized cost for these held-to-maturity
securities is $168 million and is recorded in the current portion of investment
in debt defeasance trust in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. At December 28,
2002, total amortized costs for these held-to-maturity securities was $182
million, of which $12 million was recorded as current and the remaining $170
million was recorded as long-term in investment in debt defeasance trust in our
Consolidated Balance Sheets.
CASUALTY INSURANCE COSTS - We became self-insured for casualty costs in
the United States starting in 2002. Our liability for casualty costs was $127
million as of December 27, 2003 of which $38 million was reported in accounts
payable and other current liabilities and $89 million was recorded in other
liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our liability for casualty costs
is estimated using individual case-based valuations and statistical analyses and
is based upon historical experience, actuarial assumptions and professional
judgment. We do not discount our loss expense reserves. For additional unaudited
information, see "Critical Accounting Policies" in Management's Financial
Review.

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 in
February 1999. At December 27, 2003, PBG owns 93.2% of Bottling Group, LLC and
PepsiCo owns the remaining 6.8%. Accordingly, the Consolidated Financial
Statements reflect PepsiCo's share of the 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 and issued shares but not
included in our shares outstanding. We record shares reissued using an average
cost. Since the inception of our share repurchase program in October 1999, we
have repurchased approximately 63 million shares and have reissued approximately
14 million for stock option exercises.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT - We use derivative
instruments to hedge against the risk associated with the price of commodities
purchased and used in our business, interest rates on outstanding debt and in
2002, certain currency exposures. Our use of derivative instruments is limited
to interest rate swaps, forward contracts, futures and options on futures
contracts. Our corporate policy prohibits the use of derivative instruments for
trading or speculative purposes, and we have procedures in place to monitor and
control their use.
All derivative instruments are recorded at fair value as either assets
or liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Derivative instruments are
generally designated and accounted for as either a hedge of a recognized asset
or liability ("fair value hedge") or a hedge of a forecasted transaction ("cash
flow hedge").
For a fair value hedge, both the effective and ineffective portions of
the change in fair value of the derivative instrument, along with an adjustment
to the carrying amount of the hedged item for fair value changes attributable
to the hedged risk, are recognized in earnings. For derivative instruments that
hedge interest rate risk, the fair value adjustments are recorded to interest
expense, net, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
For a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of changes in the fair
value of the derivative instrument that are highly effective are deferred in
accumulated other comprehensive loss until the underlying hedged item is
recognized in earnings. The applicable gain or loss recognized in earnings is
recorded consistent with the expense classification of the underlying hedged
item.
The ineffective portion of fair value changes on qualifying cash flow
hedges is recognized in earnings immediately and is recorded consistent with the
expense classification of the underlying hedged item. If a fair value or cash
flow hedge were to cease to qualify for hedge accounting or be terminated, it
would continue to be carried on the balance sheet at fair value until settled,
but hedge accounting would be discontinued prospectively. If a forecasted
transaction was no longer probable of occurring, amounts previously deferred in
accumulated other comprehensive loss would be recognized immediately in
earnings.
On occasion, we enter into derivative instruments that do not qualify
for hedge accounting. These instruments are reflected in the Consolidated
Balance Sheets at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.
We also may enter into a derivative instrument for which hedge
accounting is not required because it is entered into to offset changes in the
fair value of an underlying transaction recognized in earnings ("natural
hedge"). These instruments are reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at
fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.
STOCK-BASED EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION - We measure stock-based compensation
expense using the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting
Principles Board ("APB") Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,"
and its related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation expense for stock
option grants to our 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 based upon the fair value of
the PBG stock on the date of grant. As allowed by SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure, an Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 123," we have elected to continue to apply the intrinsic
value-based method of accounting described above, and have adopted the
disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation." If
42
we had measured compensation cost for the stock-based awards granted to our
employees under the fair value-based method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, net
income would have been changed to the pro forma amounts set forth below:
52-WEEKS ENDED

Diluted - as reported.......................................................... $1.50 $1.46 $1.03
Diluted - pro forma............................................................ $1.35 $1.32 $0.91
Pro forma compensation cost measured for equity awards granted to
employees is amortized using a straight-line basis over the vesting period,
which is typically three years.
During 2003, we issued restricted stock awards to certain key members
of senior management, which vest over periods ranging from three to five years
from the date of grant. These restricted stock awards are earned only if the
Company achieves certain performance targets over a three-year period. These
restricted share awards are considered variable awards pursuant to APB Opinion
No. 25, which requires the related compensation expense to be re-measured each
period until the performance targets are met and the amount of the awards
becomes fixed. When the restricted stock award was granted, deferred
compensation was recorded as a reduction to shareholders' equity, and such
amount has been adjusted quarterly and amortized on a straight-line basis over
the vesting periods. As of December 27, 2003, the deferred compensation balance
remaining to be amortized is approximately $4 million. The Company recognized
approximately $1 million of expense in 2003 relating to these equity awards.
COMMITMENTS AND 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. Liabilities related to commitments
and contingencies are recognized when a loss is probable and reasonably
estimable.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
SFAS No. 142
During 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets," which requires that goodwill and intangible assets with
indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead be tested for
impairment. Effective the first day of fiscal year 2002 we no longer amortize
goodwill and certain franchise rights, but evaluate them for impairment
annually. The following table provides pro forma disclosure of the elimination
of goodwill and certain franchise rights amortization in 2001, as if SFAS No.
142 had been adopted at the beginning of 2001:

EITF Issue No. 02-16
As discussed above in Note 2, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No.
02-16, addressing the recognition and income statement classification of various
cash consideration given by a vendor to a customer. In accordance with EITF
Issue No. 02-16, we have classified certain bottler incentives as a reduction of
cost of sales beginning in 2003. In the first quarter of 2003, we have recorded
a transition adjustment of $6 million, net of taxes and minority interest of $1
million, for the cumulative effect on prior years. This adjustment reflects the
amount of bottler incentives that can be attributed to our 2003 beginning
inventory balances. This accounting change did not have a material effect on our
income before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle for the
52-weeks ended December 27, 2003. Assuming that EITF Issue No. 02-16 had been in
place for all periods presented, the following pro forma adjustments would have
been made to our reported results for the 52-weeks ended December 28, 2002 and

SFAS No. 149
During 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133
on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 149 amends and
clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts
(collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under SFAS
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This
statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30,
2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 did not have a material impact on our
Consolidated Financial Statements.
FIN 46
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"),
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities an Interpretation of ARB No. 51,"
which addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest
entities that either: (1) do not have sufficient equity investment at risk to
permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated
financial support, or (2) the equity investors lack an essential characteristic
of a controlling financial interest. The adoption of FIN 46 did not have a
material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
SFAS No. 146
During 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit
or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of SFAS
No. 146 did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
44
FIN 45
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45"),
"Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including
Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, an interpretation of FASB
Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and Rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34,"
which addresses the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and
annual financial statements about its obligations under guarantees. FIN 45 also
requires the recognition of a liability by a guarantor at the inception of
certain guarantees that are entered into or modified after December 31, 2002.
The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a material impact on our Consolidated
Financial Statements.
Equity Award Accounting
The FASB is planning to issue an exposure draft proposing to expense
the fair value of equity awards beginning in 2005. We are currently evaluating
the impact of this proposed standard on our financial statements.

The $1.3 billion of 5.63% senior notes and the $1.0 billion of 5.38%
senior notes are guaranteed by PepsiCo. The $1.0 billion of 7.0% senior notes
are guaranteed by Bottling Group, LLC.
The $1.0 billion of 4.63% senior notes will be guaranteed by PepsiCo
starting in February 2004, in accordance with the terms set forth in the related
indenture.
During the second quarter of 2003, Bottling Group, LLC issued $250
million of senior notes with a coupon rate of 4.13%, maturing on June 15, 2015.
We used the net proceeds of this offering for general corporate purposes.
During the third quarter of 2003, Bottling Group, LLC filed a shelf
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")
that was declared effective by the SEC on September 5, 2003. Under this
registration statement, we have the capability to issue, in one or more
offerings, up to $1 billion in senior notes. Pursuant to the shelf registration
statement on October 7, 2003, we completed an offering of $500 million 2.45%
senior notes due on October 16, 2006. In addition, on November 17, 2003, we
completed an offering of $400 million of 5.0% senior notes due on November 15,
2013. In February 2004, we intend to utilize the net proceeds from these
offerings for the repayment of a portion of our $1 billion principal amount of
5.38% senior notes. Pending such use, the net proceeds have been invested in
several short-term instruments with original maturities of three months or less
and are classified as cash and cash equivalents in our Consolidated Balance
Sheet.
Each of the senior notes mentioned above has redemption features and
covenants and will, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of our
restricted subsidiaries to create or assume liens, enter into sale and
lease-back transactions, engage in mergers or consolidations and transfer or
lease all or substantially all of our assets.
The $160 million of 9.75% senior notes were issued by Pepsi-Gemex, S.A.
de C.V. of Mexico ("Gemex"). In December 2002, we purchased $181 million of
U.S. government securities and placed those securities into an irrevocable
trust. The trust has been established for the sole purpose of funding payments
of principal and interest on the $160 million of 9.75% senior notes maturing in
March 2004, in order to defease its respective covenants. We estimate that the
U.S. government securities will be sufficient to satisfy all future principal
and interest requirements of the senior notes. See Note 2 for further
information relating to these instruments.
We have a $500 million commercial paper program that is supported by
two $250 million credit facilities. During the second quarter of 2003, we
renegotiated the credit facilities. One of the credit facilities expires in
April 2004, which we intend to renew, and the other credit facility expires in
April 2008. There are certain financial covenants associated with these credit
facilities. Both credit facilities are guaranteed by Bottling Group, LLC. We
have used these credit facilities to support our commercial paper program in
2003 and 2002, however, there were no borrowings outstanding under these credit
facilities at December 27, 2003, or December 28, 2002.
We have available short-term bank credit lines of approximately $302
million and $167 million at December 27, 2003 and December 28, 2002,
respectively. These lines were used to support the general operating needs of
our businesses outside the United States. The weighted-average interest rate for
used lines of credit outstanding at December 27, 2003, and December 28, 2002,
was 4.17% and 8.85%, respectively.
47
Amounts paid to third parties for interest, net of cash received from
our interest rate swaps, was $243 million, $198 million and $193 million in
2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Total interest expense incurred during 2003,
2002 and 2001 was $247 million, $200 million and, $204 million, respectively.
At December 27, 2003, we have outstanding letters of credit and surety
bonds valued at $135 million from financial institutions primarily to provide
collateral for estimated self-insurance claims and other insurance requirements.
NOTE 8 -- LEASES
We have noncancellable commitments under both capital and long-term
operating leases, which consist principally of buildings, office equipment and
machinery. 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 below:

and 2001, respectively.
NOTE 9 -- FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
CASH FLOW HEDGES - We are subject to market risk with respect to the
cost of commodities because our ability to recover increased costs through
higher pricing may be limited by the competitive environment in which we
operate. We use future and option contracts to hedge the risk of adverse
movements in commodity prices related to anticipated purchases of aluminum and
fuel used in our operations. These contracts, which generally range from one to
12 months in duration, establish our commodity purchase prices within defined
ranges in an attempt to limit our purchase price risk resulting from adverse
commodity price movements, and are designated as hedges and qualify for cash
flow hedge accounting treatment.
The net amount of deferred losses from our commodity hedging that we
recognized into cost of sales in our Consolidated Statements of Operations was
$2 million in 2003 and $22 million in 2002. As a result of our commodity hedges,
$19 million of deferred gains and $16 million of deferred losses (before taxes
and minority interest) remained in accumulated other comprehensive loss in our
Consolidated Balance Sheets, based on the commodity rates in effect on December
27, 2003, and December 28, 2002, respectively. The adjustment to accumulated
other comprehensive loss is reflected after income taxes and minority interest
expense of $8 million in 2003 and income taxes and minority interest benefit of
$7 million in 2002 in our Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders'
Equity. Assuming no change in the commodity prices as measured on December 27,
2003, $19 million of the deferred gain will be recognized in our cost of sales
over the next 12 months. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of
these contracts was not material to our results of operations in 2003 or 2002.
FAIR VALUE HEDGES - We finance a portion of our operations through
fixed-rate debt instruments. We effectively converted $1.8 billion of our senior
notes to floating rate debt through the use of interest rate swaps with the
objective of reducing our overall borrowing costs. These interest rate swaps
meet the criteria for fair value hedge accounting and are 100% effective in
eliminating the market rate risk inherent in our long-term debt. Accordingly,
any gain or loss associated with these swaps is fully offset by the opposite
market impact on the related debt. The change in fair value of the interest rate
swaps was a decrease of
48
$20 million in 2003 and an increase of $16 million in 2002. The current portion
of the fair value change of our swap and debt has been recorded in prepaid
expenses and other current assets and current maturities of long-term debt in
our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The long-term portion of the fair value change
of our swaps and debt has been recorded in other assets and long-term debt in
our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
UNFUNDED DEFERRED COMPENSATION LIABILITY - Our unfunded deferred
compensation liability is subject to changes in our stock price as well as price
changes in other equity and fixed-income investments. Participating employees in
our deferred compensation program can elect to defer all or a portion of their
compensation to be paid out on a future date or dates. As part of the deferral
process, employees select from phantom investment options that determine the
earnings on the deferred compensation liability and the amount that they will
ultimately receive. Employee investment elections include PBG stock and a
variety of other equity and fixed-income investment options.
Since the plan is unfunded, employees' deferred compensation amounts
are not directly invested in these investment vehicles. Instead, we track the
performance of each employee's investment selections and adjust his or her
deferred compensation account accordingly. The adjustments to the employees'
accounts increases or decreases the deferred compensation liability reflected on
our Consolidated Balance Sheets with an offsetting increase or decrease to our
selling, delivery and administrative expenses.
We use prepaid forward contracts to hedge the portion of our deferred
compensation liability that is based on our stock price. At December 27, 2003,
we had a prepaid forward contract for 638,000 shares at an exercise price of
$23.33, which was accounted for as a natural hedge. This contract requires cash
settlement and has a fair value at December 27, 2003, of $15 million recorded in
prepaid expenses and other current assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The fair value of this contract changes based on the change in our stock price
compared with the contract exercise price. We recognized $1 million in losses in
2003 and $1 million in gains in 2002, resulting from the change in fair value of
these prepaid forward contracts. The earnings impact from these instruments is
classified as selling, delivery and administrative expenses.
OTHER DERIVATIVES - During 2002, we entered into option contracts to
mitigate certain foreign currency risks in anticipation of our acquisition of
Gemex. Although these instruments did not qualify for hedge accounting, they
were deemed derivatives since they contained a net settlement clause. These
options expired unexercised and the cost of these options of $7 million has been
recorded in other non-operating expenses, net in our Consolidated Statements of
Operations in 2002.
OTHER FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES - Financial assets with carrying
values approximating fair value include cash and cash equivalents and accounts
receivable. Financial liabilities with carrying values approximating fair value
include accounts payable and other accrued liabilities and short-term debt. The
carrying value of these financial assets and liabilities approximates fair value
due to their short maturities and since interest rates approximate current
market rates for short-term debt.
Long-term debt at December 27, 2003, had a carrying value and fair
value of $5.7 billion and $6.0 billion, respectively, and at December 28, 2002,
had a carrying value and fair value of $4.5 billion and $4.9 billion,
respectively. The fair value is based on interest rates that are currently
available to us for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining
maturities.
NOTE 10 -- 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 plans for our operations outside the U.S. was not significant
and is not included in the tables presented below.
49
Our U.S. employees are also eligible to participate in our 401(k)
savings plans, which are voluntary defined contribution plans. We make matching
contributions to the 401(k) savings plans on behalf of participants eligible to
receive such contributions. If a participant has one or more but less than 10
years of eligible service, our match will equal $0.50 for each dollar the
participant elects to defer up to 4% of the participant's pay. If the
participant has 10 or more years of eligible service, our match will equal $1.00
for each dollar the participant elects to defer up to 4% of the participant's
pay.

At December 27, 2003, and December 28, 2002, the accumulated benefit
obligation of all PBG pension plans exceeded the fair market value of the plan
assets resulting in the recognition of the unfunded liability as a minimum
balance sheet liability. As a result of this additional liability, our
intangible asset increased by $5 million to $47 million in 2003, which equals
the amount of unrecognized prior service cost in our plans. The remainder of the
liability that exceeded the unrecognized prior service cost was recognized as an
increase to accumulated other comprehensive loss of $34 million and $216 million
in 2003 and 2002, respectively, before taxes and minority interest. The
adjustments to accumulated other comprehensive loss are reflected after minority
interest of $2 million and $15 million, and deferred income taxes of $12 million
and $78 million in 2003 and 2002, respectively, in our Consolidated Statements
of Changes in Shareholders' Equity.
ASSUMPTIONS
The assets, liabilities and assumptions used to measure pension and
postretirement expense for any fiscal year are determined as of September 30 of
the preceding year ("measurement date"). The discount rate assumption used in
our pension and postretirement benefit plans' accounting is based on current
interest rates for high-quality, long-term corporate debt as determined on each
measurement date. In evaluating our rate of return on assets for a given fiscal
year, we consider the 10-15 year historical return of our pension investment
portfolio, reflecting the weighted return of our plan asset allocation.
We evaluate these assumptions with our actuarial advisors on an annual
basis and we believe they are within accepted industry ranges, although an
increase or decrease in the assumptions or economic events outside our control
could have a direct impact on reported net earnings.
The weighted-average assumptions used to measure net expense for years
ended:

The table above shows the target allocation and actual allocation. Our
target allocations of our plan assets reflect the long-term nature of our
pension liabilities. None of the assets are invested directly in equity or debt
instruments issued by PBG, PepsiCo or any bottling affiliates of PepsiCo,
although it is possible that insignificant indirect investments exist through
our broad market indices. Our equity investments are diversified across all
areas of the equity market (i.e., large, mid and small capitalization stocks as
well as international equities). Our fixed income investments are also
diversified and consist of both corporate and U.S. government bonds. We
currently do not invest directly into any derivative investments. PBG's assets
are held in a pension trust account at our trustee's bank.
PBG's pension investment policy and strategy are mandated by PBG's
Pension Investment Committee (PIC) and is overseen by the PBG Board of
Directors' Compensation Committee. The plan assets are invested using a
combination of enhanced and passive indexing strategies. The performance of the
plan assets is benchmarked against market indices and reviewed by the PIC.
Changes in investment strategies, asset allocations and specific investments are
approved by the PIC prior to execution.
HEALTH CARE COST TREND RATES
We have assumed an average increase of 11.0% in 2004 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
5.0% in 2013 and thereafter.
Assumed health care cost trend rates have an impact on the amounts
reported for postretirement medical plans. A one-percentage point change in
assumed health care costs would have the following effects:

During 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and
Modernization Act of 2003 (the "Act") was passed into law. The reported
postretirement benefit obligation in our Consolidated Balance Sheet does not
reflect the effects of the Act. We do provide prescription drug benefits to
Medicare-eligible retirees but have elected to defer recognition of the Act
until the FASB provides guidance regarding its accounting treatment. This
deferral election is permitted under FASB Staff Position FAS 106-1. We do not
believe the adoption of the Act will have a material impact on our consolidated
results.
PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT CASH FLOW
Our contributions are made in accordance with applicable tax
regulations that provide us with current tax deductions for our contributions
and for taxation to the employee of plan benefits when the benefits are
received. We do not fund our pension plan and postretirement plans when our
contributions would not be tax deductible or when benefits would be taxable to
the employee before receipt. Of the total pension liabilities at December 27,
2003, $59 million relates to plans not funded due to these unfavorable tax
consequences.

NOTE 11 -- 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. Except as noted below, options granted in 2003, 2002 and 2001 had exercise
prices ranging from $18.25 per share to $25.50 per share, $23.25 per share to
$29.25 per share, and $18.88 per share to $22.50 per share, respectively, expire
in 10 years and generally become exercisable 25% after one year, an additional
25% after two years, and the remainder after three years.
In 2001, two additional option grants were made to certain senior
management employees. One grant had an exercise price of $19.50 per share,
expires in 10 years and became exercisable on the grant date. The other grant
had an exercise price of $22.50 per share, expires in 10 years and becomes
exercisable in 5 years.

We have net operating loss carryforwards totaling $807 million at
December 27, 2003, which are available to reduce future taxes in the U.S.,
Spain, Greece, Russia, Turkey and Mexico. Of these carryforwards, $6 million
expire in 2004 and $801 million expire at various times between 2005 and 2023.
We have established a full valuation allowance for the net operating loss
carryforwards attributable to our operations in Spain, Greece, Russia, Turkey
and Mexico based upon our projection that it is more likely than not that the
benefit of these losses will not be realized. In addition, at December 27, 2003,
we have tax credit carryforwards in the U.S. of $7 million with an indefinite
carryforward period and in Mexico of $12 million, which expire at various times
between 2008 and 2013.
Our valuation allowances, which reduce deferred tax assets to an amount
that will more likely than not be realized, have increased by $124 million in
2003 and increased by $25 million in 2002.
Approximately $22 million of our valuation allowance relating to our
deferred tax assets at December 27, 2003 would be applied to reduce goodwill if
reversed in future periods.
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.
Income taxes receivable from taxing authorities were $68 million and
$42 million at December 27, 2003, and December 28, 2002, respectively. Such
amounts are recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets in our
Consolidated Balance Sheets. Income taxes receivable from related parties were
$6 million and $3 million at December 27, 2003, and December 28, 2002,
respectively. Such amounts are recorded within accounts payable and other
current liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts paid to taxing
authorities and related parties for income taxes were $115 million, $49 million
and $101 million in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Under our tax separation agreement with PepsiCo, PepsiCo maintains full
control and absolute discretion for any combined or consolidated tax filings for
tax periods ended on or before our initial public offering that occurred in
March 1999. PepsiCo has contractually agreed to act in good faith with respect
to all tax audit matters affecting us. In accordance with the tax separation
agreement, we will share on a pro rata basis any risk or upside resulting from
the settlement of tax matters affecting us for these periods.

NOTE 14 -- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
PepsiCo is considered a related party due to the nature of our
franchisee relationship and its ownership interest in our company. The most
significant agreements that govern our relationship with PepsiCo consist of:
(1) The master bottling agreement for cola beverages bearing the
"PEPSI-COLA" and "PEPSI" trademarks in the United States;
master bottling agreements 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 country in which we operate,
including Canada, Spain, Russia, Greece, Turkey and Mexico, as
well as a fountain syrup agreement for Canada, similar to the
master syrup agreement;
55
(3) A shared services agreement whereby PepsiCo provides us or we
provide PepsiCo with certain support, including information
technology maintenance, procurement of raw materials, shared
space, employee benefit administration, credit and collection,
and international tax and accounting services. The amounts
paid or received under this contract are equal to the actual
costs incurred by the company providing the service. During
2001, a PepsiCo affiliate 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 ended on or before the initial public offering.
Additionally, we review our annual marketing, advertising, management
and financial plans each year with PepsiCo for its approval. If we fail to
submit these plans, or if we fail to carry them out in all material respects,
PepsiCo can terminate our beverage agreements. If our beverage agreements with
PepsiCo are terminated for this or for any other reason, it would have a
material adverse effect on our business and financial results.
BOTTLER INCENTIVES AND OTHER ARRANGEMENTS - We share a business
objective with PepsiCo of increasing the availability and consumption of
Pepsi-Cola beverages. Accordingly, PepsiCo, at its discretion, provides us with
various forms of bottler incentives to promote its beverages. These incentives
are mutually agreed-upon between us and PepsiCo and cover a variety of
initiatives, including direct marketplace support, capital equipment funding and
advertising support. Based on the objectives of the programs and initiatives, we
record bottler incentives as an adjustment to net revenues, cost of sales or
selling, delivery and administrative expenses. Beginning in 2003, due to the
adoption of Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 02-16, "Accounting by
a Customer (Including a Reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a
Vendor," we have changed our accounting methodology for the way we record
bottler incentives. See Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for
a discussion on the change in classification of these bottler incentives.
Bottler incentives received from PepsiCo, including media costs shared
by PepsiCo, were $646 million, $560 million and $554 million for 2003, 2002 and
2001, respectively. Changes in our bottler incentives and funding levels could
materially affect our business and financial results.
PURCHASES OF CONCENTRATE AND FINISHED PRODUCT - We purchase concentrate
from PepsiCo, which is the critical flavor ingredient used in the production of
carbonated soft drinks and other ready-to-drink beverages. PepsiCo determines
the price of concentrate annually at its discretion. We also pay a royalty fee
to PepsiCo for the Aquafina trademark. Amounts paid or payable to PepsiCo and
its affiliates for concentrate and royalty fees were $1,971 million, $1,699
million and $1,584 million in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
We also produce or distribute other products and purchase finished
goods and concentrate through various arrangements with PepsiCo or PepsiCo joint
ventures. During 2003, 2002 and 2001, total amounts paid or payable to PepsiCo
or PepsiCo joint ventures for these transactions were $556 million, $464 million
and $375 million, respectively.
We provide manufacturing services to PepsiCo and PepsiCo affiliates in
connection with the production of certain finished beverage products. During
2003, 2002 and 2001, total amounts paid or payable by PepsiCo for these
transactions were $6 million, $10 million and $32 million, respectively.
FOUNTAIN SERVICE FEE - We manufacture and distribute fountain products
and provide fountain equipment service to PepsiCo customers in some territories
in accordance with the Pepsi beverage agreements. Amounts received from PepsiCo
for these transactions are offset by the cost to provide these services and are
reflected in our Consolidated Statements of Operations in selling, delivery and
administrative expenses. Net amounts paid or payable by PepsiCo to us for these
services were approximately $200 million, $200 million and $185 million, in
2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
OTHER TRANSACTIONS - Prior to 2002, Hillbrook Insurance Company, Inc.,
a subsidiary of PepsiCo, provided insurance and risk management services to us
pursuant to a contractual agreement. Total premiums paid to Hillbrook Insurance
Company, Inc. during 2001 were $58 million.
56
We provide and receive various services from PepsiCo and PepsiCo
affiliates pursuant to a shared services agreement and other arrangements,
including information technology maintenance, procurement of raw materials,
shared space, employee benefit administration, credit and collection, and
international tax and accounting services. Total net expenses incurred were
approximately $62 million, $57 million and $133 million during 2003, 2002 and
2001, respectively.
We purchase snack food products from Frito-Lay, Inc., a subsidiary of
PepsiCo, for sale and distribution in all of Russia except Moscow. Amounts paid
or payable to PepsiCo and its affiliates for snack food products were $51
million, $44 million and $27 million in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Under tax sharing arrangements we have with PepsiCo, we received $7
million, $3 million and $4 million in tax related benefits from PepsiCo in 2003,
2002 and 2001, respectively.
The Consolidated Statements of Operations include the following income

We are not required to pay any minimum fees to PepsiCo, nor are we

As part of our acquisition in Turkey (see Note 16), PBG paid PepsiCo $8
million for its share of Fruko Mesrubat Sanayii A.S. and related entities in
2002. In addition, we sold certain brands to PepsiCo from the net assets
acquired for $16 million in 2002.
As part of our acquisition of Gemex (see Note 16), PepsiCo received
$297 million in 2002 for the tender of its shares for its 34.4% ownership in the
outstanding capital stock of Gemex. In addition, PepsiCo made a payment to us
for $17 million in 2002, to facilitate the purchase and ensure a smooth
ownership transition of Gemex.
We paid PepsiCo $3 million, $10 million and $9 million during 2003,
2002 and 2001, respectively, for distribution rights relating to the SOBE brand
in certain PBG-owned territories in the U.S. and Canada.
In connection with PBG's acquisition of Pepsi-Cola Bottling of Northern
California in 2001, PBG paid $10 million to PepsiCo for its equity interest in
Northern California.
Bottling Group, LLC will distribute pro rata to PepsiCo and PBG, based
upon membership interest, sufficient cash such that aggregate cash distributed
to us will enable us to pay our income taxes and interest on our $1 billion 7.0%
senior notes due 2029. PepsiCo's pro rata cash distribution during 2003, 2002
and 2001 from Bottling Group, LLC was $7 million, $11 million and $16 million,
respectively.
The $1.3 billion of 5.63% senior notes and the $1.0 billion of 5.38%
senior notes issued on February 9, 1999, by our subsidiary Bottling Group, LLC
are guaranteed by PepsiCo. In addition, the $1.0 billion of 4.63% senior notes
issued on November 15, 2002, also by Bottling Group, LLC, were guaranteed by
PepsiCo starting in February 2004 in accordance with the terms set forth in the
related indenture.
Amounts payable to PepsiCo and its affiliates were $20 million and $26
million at December 27, 2003, and December 28, 2002, respectively. Such amounts
are recorded within accounts
57
payable and other current liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Board of Directors
Two of our board members are employees of PepsiCo. Neither of these
board members serves on our Audit and Affiliated Transactions Committee. In
addition, one of the managing directors of Bottling Group, LLC, our principal
operating subsidiary, is an employee of PepsiCo.
Effective March 2004, neither of the PepsiCo board members will serve
on any of our board of director committees.
NOTE 15 -- 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 16 -- ACQUISITIONS
During 2003 we acquired the operations and exclusive right to
manufacture, sell and distribute Pepsi-Cola beverages from three franchise
bottlers. The following acquisitions occurred for an aggregate purchase price of
$91 million in cash and assumption of liabilities of $13 million:
- - Pepsi-Cola Buffalo Bottling Corp. of Buffalo, New York in February.
- - Cassidy's Beverage Limited of New Brunswick, Canada in February.
- - Olean Bottling Works, Inc. of Olean, New York in August.
As a result of these acquisitions, we have assigned $7 million to
goodwill, $76 million to franchise rights and $5 million to non-compete
arrangements. The goodwill and franchise rights are not subject to amortization.
The non-compete agreements are being amortized over five years. The allocations
of the purchase price for these acquisitions are still preliminary and will be
determined based on the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities
assumed as of the dates of acquisitions. The operating results of each of our
acquisitions are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements
from its respective date of purchase. These acquisitions were made to enable us
to provide better service to our large retail customers. We expect these
acquisitions to reduce costs through economies of scale.
During 2003, we also paid $5 million for the purchase of certain
franchise rights relating to SOBE and DR. PEPPER and paid $4 million for
purchase obligations relating to acquisitions made in the prior year.
During 2002, we acquired the operations and exclusive right to
manufacture, sell and distribute Pepsi-Cola beverages from several PepsiCo
franchise bottlers. The following acquisitions occurred for an aggregate amount
of $936 million in cash and $388 million of assumed debt:
- - Fruko Mesrubat Sanayii A.S. and related entities of Turkey in March.
- - Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company of Macon, Inc. of Georgia in March.
- - Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company of Aroostook, Inc., of Presque Isle, Maine
in June.
- - Seaman's Beverages Limited of the Canadian province of Prince Edward
Island in July.
- - Pepsi-Gemex, S.A. de C.V. of Mexico in November.
- - Kitchener Beverages Limited of Ontario, Canada in December.
For our 2002 acquisitions, we made additional purchase price
allocations to goodwill and other intangible assets, net of approximately $136
million in 2003. The final allocations of the purchase prices were determined
based on the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the
date of acquisition. During 2003, the allocations of the purchase prices for
these acquisitions were finalized. As a result of our final purchase price
allocations to our 2002 acquisitions, the total amounts that we have assigned to
goodwill and other intangibles, net in our Consolidated Balance Sheets were $302
million and $835 million, respectively.
58
The largest of our 2002 acquisitions was Gemex, where we acquired all
of its outstanding capital stock. Our total cost for the purchase of Gemex was a
net cash payment of $871 million and assumed debt of approximately $318 million.
The following table summarizes the final allocation of fair values of the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with our acquisition of Gemex,

=========== =========== ===========
As noted in the table above, we have adjusted the preliminary
allocation of goodwill relating to Gemex by $161 million in 2003. These
adjustments resulted primarily from revised estimates of the fair value of our
intangible assets of $29 million and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities
of $92 million. In addition, we have adjusted the preliminary allocation of
goodwill of Gemex for pre-acquisition contingencies of $17 million and severance
and other facility closing costs of $23 million. These adjustments were made in
accordance with our previously established acquisition plans.

Independent Auditors' Report
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc.:
