THE PEPSI BOTTLING GROUP, INC. (Registrant) Date July 8, 2003 /s/ Pamela C. McGuire ----------------- (Signature) Pamela C. McGuire, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary Exhibit 99.1 Contact: Kelly McAndrew Mary Winn Settino Public Relations Investor Relations (914) 767-7690 (914) 767-7216 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE --------------------- THE PEPSI BOTTLING GROUP REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2003 RESULTS SOMERS, N.Y., July 8, 2003 - The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc. (NYSE: PBG) today reported second quarter 2003 net income of $131 million, or diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.47. These results compare to reported second quarter 2002 net income of $139 million, or EPS of $0.47. o Worldwide physical case volume was flat for the quarter on a constant territory basis. PBG's physical case volume was down two percent in the U.S., while volumes grew three percent in its international territories. o Pricing in the U.S. marketplace grew two percent during the second quarter. This growth was offset by negative mix and the Company's adoption of FASB's Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 02-16, which resulted in a reported U.S. net revenue per case decline of two percent. o Reported operating income was flat in the second quarter, with soft results in the U.S. offsetting growth in the Company's international markets. "During the second quarter, we faced a number of challenging conditions in our U.S. markets," said John T. Cahill, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PBG. "Volume performance in the U.S. was below our expectations, primarily driven by softness in our cold drink business. The introduction of Mountain Dew LiveWire during the latter part of the quarter, however, has produced encouraging results. Our flavor and diet soft drink portfolios also generated positive results with Sierra Mist leading the growth. Throughout the quarter, we remained disciplined in the execution of our pricing principles, which in combination with strict cost controls, helped us generate financial results in line with our guidance for the quarter." - more - PBG REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2003 RESULTS / 2 of 3 Cahill continued, "We were encouraged by the changing growth trends in our international territories, which improved throughout the quarter. From new product introductions in Russia, to improved on premise results in Spain, to solid growth in our Canadian business, these markets turned in positive topline and operating profit growth. In Mexico, we continued to make progress in spite of a weak carbonated soft drink market. Mountain Dew was launched throughout our markets in Mexico and has been well received by customers and consumers alike, while the introduction of a 2.5 liter package late in the second quarter is helping us to boost volume. Overall, we saw solid progress in our international businesses this past quarter and are confident that this momentum will continue throughout the summer season." On a constant territory basis, physical case volume in the U.S. declined two percent. (Constant territory calculations assume all significant acquisitions made in 2002 were made at the beginning of 2002 and exclude all significant acquisitions made in 2003.) PBG's territories in Europe turned in solid volume performances, with mid single digit growth overall. Volume trends in PBG's Canadian business were also favorable in both channels of the business. In Mexico, sales of jug and bottled water were solid with high and mid single digit growth respectively. Carbonated soft drink volume was soft during the second quarter resulting in total volume growth in Mexico of one percent. PBG achieved rate increases in its U.S. markets of two percent for the quarter. PBG's cold drink volume was down in the mid single digits, which had a negative impact on the Company's reported net revenue per case results. This mix effect, as well as PBG's adoption of FASB's EITF Issue No. 02-16, lowered the Company's reported U.S. net revenue per case results by four percentage points. Worldwide reported net revenue per case declined 10 percent. These results reflect the significant impact of mix from PBG's acquired territories, namely from its markets in Mexico and Turkey, on PBG's overall results. In Mexico, rate increases on soft drinks and bottled water were offset by the shift into jug water, which has a significantly lower sales price. During the second quarter of 2003, PBG completed its original share repurchase program of 50 million shares of common stock, which was initiated in October 1999. PBG's Board of Directors announced a new share repurchase program at the Company's Annual - more - PBG REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2003 RESULTS / 3 of 3 Meeting in May, under which 25 million additional shares of common stock may be repurchased. Approximately 1.3 million shares have been repurchased to date under the new program, bringing the total shares repurchased during the second quarter of 2003 to 6.1 million shares. The Company stated that in fiscal 2003 it expects to achieve EPS of $1.61 to $1.67, before the cumulative effect of the adoption of EITF Issue No. 02-16. Given the volume trends of the first half of 2003, however, PBG expects EPS to come in at the low end of that range. The Company also stated that it expects worldwide constant territory volume for the full year to be flat to up one percent and reported operating income to grow about 10 percent. The Company reiterated its expectation for solid cash flow, with cash from operations less capital expenditures to be $400 million. The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc.
