Stock Performance
PepsiCo was formed through the 1965 merger of 
Pepsi-Cola Company and Frito-Lay, Inc. A $1,000 
investment in our stock made on December 31, 2000 
was worth about $1,284 on December 31, 2005, 
assuming the reinvestment of dividends into PepsiCo
stock. This performance represents a compounded 
annual growth rate of 5%.

The closing price for a share of PepsiCo common stock
on the New York Stock Exchange was the price as report-
ed by Bloomberg for the years ending 2001-2005. These
amounts reflect the closing price of pre-merger PepsiCo
prior to our merger with The Quaker Oats Company. Past
performance is not necessarily indicative of future
returns on investments in PepsiCo common stock.

Dear Shareholders:

With profitable growth across all divisions, on every continent
and across both convenient food and beverage categories,
PepsiCo delivered a very strong 2005. The company’s continued
focus on health and wellness, and innovation — coupled with its
efforts to build big, muscular brands and powerful go-to-market
systems — generated industry leading results.

• Volume grew 7%.

• Net revenue grew 11%.

• Division operating profit grew 10%.

• Earnings per share grew 15%.*

• Total return to shareholders was 15% compared with 5% 

for the S&P.

• Cash flow from operations was $5.9 billion and manage-

ment operating cash flow was $4.2 billion.**

What’s particularly pleasing about these results is the balance they
represent. Whether it’s between foods and beverages, North
American and International operations, or even different parts of the
day, our portfolio of leading brands finds convenient ways into 
consumers’ lives any time of day, anywhere across the globe. 

That’s why this year’s report focuses on what your company is
doing to capture growth opportunities on any given day across the
world. It’s a departure from previous annual reports which focused
primarily on each division’s operating performance. While you can
still find division summaries in this report, we want to give you a
more holistic view of how your company is seeking to capture
growth opportunities.

You’ll see these opportunities addressed in the key themes in the
pages that follow, but we also recognize that there are specific ques-
tions to which many investors seek answers. Over the last year, we’ve

Steve Reinemund
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

collected key questions shareholders most often ask about our 
businesses; they reflect issues we spend significant time and energy
addressing. And first, on just about everyone’s list, is what PepsiCo is
doing in the area of health and wellness.

There is a lot in the press about the “obesity epidemic.” How
urgent is the obesity issue, and does it pose a risk to
PepsiCo’s business?

There is no question that obesity is a significant issue gaining
increased attention and importance in many nations. Public health
is a complex issue that requires partnerships across public and 
private sectors to find solutions that help consumers.

That’s why, while we view this issue as a challenge, we also see
the growing interest in health and wellness as a growth opportunity.
Given that North America revenues from our Smart Spot eligible
products — more than 250 products that contribute to healthier
lifestyles — grew at more than two-and-one-half times the rate of
the rest of our portfolio in 2005, it’s clear that our strategy is
aligned with the interests of our consumers and retail partners.
And it’s the right thing to do for our business. As a result, our
commitment to health and wellness has never been stronger.
We believe the solution to consumers’ health and wellness
needs — and the obesity epidemic in particular — lies in the 
concept of energy balance; that is, finding balance between the
calories consumed and the calories burned. It requires companies
like PepsiCo to be part of the solution — a priority on which we
will continue to take action.

Whether it’s reformulating our products with lower sugar, fat

or sodium, adding new or additional ingredients that deliver health
benefits, or developing entirely new products, we’ve committed
considerable resources to doing what we do best — giving con-
sumers what they want. We’ve also committed to supporting active
lifestyles and marketing responsibly, and I’d encourage you to
read details surrounding all our work in health and wellness later
in this report.

letter_L01P01_05v3.qxd  3/4/06  12:04 PM  Page 3

Your commitment to the International business
seems to be paying off.  What are the drivers of
growth in your International business, and do you
expect the growth to continue at the same pace?

The outstanding growth achieved by our
International business in 2005 is the result of
years of investment and the implementation of a
deliberate strategy to create scale in key interna-
tional markets that will deliver profitable growth. As
the fastest growing division at PepsiCo — and now
the largest revenue generator — PepsiCo
International’s strategy clearly is delivering results.
To give more perspective on why we’re encour-
aged about our international growth prospects, the
portfolio of international markets is both broaden-
ing and strengthening, as we deliver exciting new
products, tailored to local tastes, to consumers in
more than 200 countries and territories. We’re 
particularly pleased with our growing presence in
key emerging markets such as Brazil, China, India
and Russia. 

We’re very proud of the growth generated
through our brands. Our performance is directly
attributable to the passionate people who run our
businesses in our international markets, each and
every day of the year, adapting our products, pack-
aging and distribution systems to a wide variety of
tastes and market conditions.

We continue to expect our International business

to grow at about twice the rate of our North
American businesses, though favorable global
macroeconomics clearly contributed to our 2005
performance which exceeded that expectation.

What is the role of acquisitions in PepsiCo’s 
future growth? 

We continue to believe that small, strategic, or
“tuck in” acquisitions, will help propel our future
growth. Our recent acquisitions of Sakata in
Australia, Star Foods in Poland, Punica in Germany,
P.J. Smoothies in the United Kingdom and Stacy’s
Pita Chips in the United States, are clear examples
of how smaller acquisitions that offer considerable

synergies with our existing businesses can help us
grow in new geographies and new categories.

In each case, we exercise a disciplined approach

to assessing any opportunity, carefully reviewing
both strategic and financial criteria to ensure a fit
with PepsiCo.

It’s important to understand that while acquisitions
have a role to play in our growth plans, we believe we’ll
continue to experience strong “organic” growth in our
existing portfolio of businesses. They’re equipped with
big, muscular brands, they have room to grow, and they
receive constant investment and attention.

The carbonated soft drink category in North
America has slowed in recent years.  What does
this trend mean for PepsiCo’s growth prospects?

While our carbonated soft drink business was down
in North America in 2005, we’re convinced that,
over time, growth can be restored as we continue to
invest in innovation for our carbonated beverages.
Our diet carbonated soft drinks continue to grow in
North America, an indication that consumers will
remain engaged with the category if we offer car-
bonated soft drinks they desire.  

Importantly, if you look at the total liquid refresh-

ment beverage (LRB) category in North America —
meaning all beverage occasions except for coffee,
alcohol, tap and bulk water — you’ll see it’s growing
at about 2.5% annually. This is consistent with his-
torical growth rates for LRB, and PepsiCo is very well
positioned to capture this growth. 

That’s because we have an advantaged portfolio

of non-carbonated beverages, which is exactly
where the growth in LRB is, and where we believe
it continues to head.  PepsiCo’s line-up of waters,
sports drinks, teas and energy drinks includes lead-
ing brands, and they illustrate how an advantaged
portfolio of non-carbonated beverages can deliver
great products for consumers, and solid returns for
retailers and shareholders.

How are you preparing to grow PepsiCo’s top line?

In a word, innovation — the lifeblood of any con-
sumer products company. PepsiCo views this capa-
bility as a critical and sustainable competitive
advantage. It is the reason we spend considerable
time and dollars filling our pipeline with an array of
consumer propositions to address needs for conven-
ient foods and beverages.

We use a thoughtful and balanced approach to
funding innovation and putting resources in place
to support it. Some examples of that balance
include balancing good-for-you and better-for-you
product innovation with resources earmarked for
our fun-for-you portfolio. In 2005, for example, our
investment in new Aquafina FlavorSplash and new
Gatorade Lemonade drove growth with our Smart
Spot portfolio, while Lay’s Cheddar and Sour Cream

flavored potato chips contributed to solid growth
with our Lay’s brand.

But it also means balancing investment between

carbonated and non-carbonated beverages, and 
balancing between “close-in” ideas like line exten-
sions, and entirely new product platforms that don’t
exist today. We’ve implemented new ways of 
coordinating the collection of insights from 
consumers and retail partners so we can better
share those insights across our businesses, and
generate ideas that have a greater chance of suc-
cess in the marketplace.

I think it’s important to understand that 
innovation isn’t limited to products. Across
PepsiCo, we’re constantly innovating to strengthen
our go-to-market systems and to find structures
that drive faster, more efficient and more cost-
effective decision making. A current example is our
Business Process Transformation, or BPT, a 
comprehensive, multi-year initiative that centers 
on moving all of PepsiCo to a common set of
processes for key business activities, with current
efforts focused on North America.

More than a year ago, you announced PepsiCo’s
Business Process Transformation (BPT) initiative.
What are the objectives of this program, and
what is its status?

Through larger acquisitions and mergers over the
years, such as Tropicana and Quaker, we’ve recog-
nized the need to seamlessly integrate formerly
independent information systems. We’re also 
committed to harmonizing key business processes
such as Finance, Consumer Insights, Purchasing
and Supply Chain and continuously improving our 
customer service.

We’re supporting these processes with common

Information Technology applications, linking our
systems so that key pieces of data supporting all
our businesses flow seamlessly from system to 
system. 2005 was a big year of preparation for the
first deployment of our new, integrated system,
which started its phased roll out in early 2006. 
In fact, on January 16, the very first of these
new capabilities began its roll out. Several of our
North American plants, along with our Global
Procurement team, now have streamlined tools and
processes used for purchasing materials other than
commodities, packaging and ingredients.
Additional capabilities will be rolled out over the
next several years.

When complete, we expect to have an infra-
structure that will support better, faster decisions,
allowing us to capture more growth opportunities,
and better serve our customers. Importantly, it 
will also leverage PepsiCo’s scale for efficiency 
and effectiveness.

On the cost side, a number of key commodities
have seen high rates of inflation. How is PepsiCo
managing in an environment of increasing costs?

There is no doubt that 2005 was a challenging
year for input costs — especially energy and plas-
tics resin. Between several major hurricanes hitting
the United States and inflation, we saw some
expected and some unexpected pressure on our
margins, but we managed those cost pressures and
met our financial targets. 

And we expect 2006 to be challenging as well,
largely reflecting increased energy and commodity
costs. However, we have solid plans in place to off-
set these rising costs through productivity programs
and hedging strategies, and expect to carefully
manage pricing to help offset some of the inflation.

PepsiCo’s businesses generate a great deal of
cash, and the Company’s balance sheet is very
conservative. Why don’t you put more debt on the
balance sheet and use the proceeds to increase
the dividend or increase share repurchases?

PepsiCo does generate considerable cash, and we
are disciplined about how cash is reinvested in the
business. Over the past three years, $5.7 billion has
been reinvested in the businesses through capital
expenditures and acquisitions, and $12.0 billion has
been returned to shareholders through a combination
of dividends and share repurchases. In essence, any
cash we have not reinvested in the business has
been returned to our shareholders. And, we are
pleased with our current capital structure and 
debt ratings, which give us ready access to capital 
markets and keep our cost of borrowing down.

PepsiCo’s focus on people — specifically diversity
and inclusion — has been a priority in previous
reports. What results have you delivered through
this focus and what changes have you made?

In terms of the diversity of our workforce, we’ve
seen a significant increase in the number of women
and people of color who’ve joined PepsiCo in 
various functions and at various levels. Since 2000,
the percentage of women in management positions
in the United States has risen from 20% to 25%.
The number of people of color in management 
positions has climbed from 15% to almost 22% —
we made a gain of about 2 points of growth in
2005 alone. This change in the workforce has 
contributed to our growth through product ideas,
greater insights about consumers and connections
into growing urban and ethnic communities. 

While a diverse workforce is important, we must

also create an inclusive environment where every-
one — regardless of race, gender, physical ability
or sexual orientation — feels valued, engaged, and
wants to be part of our growth. It is only through

letter_L01P01_05v3.qxd  3/4/06  12:04 PM  Page 5

As we have with previous reports, we’ve includ-

ed a section on corporate social responsibility to
highlight what we’ve accomplished in 2005, and I
invite you to visit our website as well to read our
report in detail. 

More importantly, I hope the contents of this
annual report — along with even more details that
are published on our website — will help you
understand that your company is addressing the
challenges ahead with the strength of muscular
brands, a growing and powerful go-to-market sys-
tem, a commitment to innovation, and passionate,
diverse people committed to growing the business
in responsible ways.

This is the PepsiCo that is poised to deliver on
our commitment to responsible growth at any time,
and on any day. 

Steve Reinemund
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

inclusion that we will fully unleash innovation and
growth for our business.

To capture this potential, we made some
changes in 2005. For example, to put accounta-
bility for diversity and inclusion squarely in the
hands of our people, and into our divisions, we
formed the PepsiCo Diversity & Inclusion
Governance Council. Representatives from each
division and various functions comprise the coun-
cil, and its chair reports directly to me.

I also asked each of my direct reports to take
ownership for the development of specific employ-
ee groups. Whether it is African Americans,
Latinos, white males, women, or other groups of
PepsiCo employees, each has a voice at the most
senior decision-making entity at your company.

In the context of people issues, corporate
responsibility is a hot topic. How are you 
ensuring PepsiCo associates are acting in
accordance with the law, and — beyond 
the law — doing the right thing?

The need for trust between corporations and the
general public is as big as ever, and investors
rightly should ask this question of every company.
PepsiCo’s focus on values remains honed on a
commitment to every shareholder — to deliver
sustained growth, through empowered people,
operating with responsibility and building trust.
This commitment, along with six guiding 
principles (found on page 7), is what we aspire to
each and every day. It complements our approach
to corporate governance, the strength of our 
financial controls, and the company’s Worldwide
Code of Conduct.

Our Values and our

Worldwide Code of Conduct
are known to every PepsiCo
associate and are presented
in 38 languages on our web-
site (www.pepsico.com). But
the strength of any such
commitment is not in the
words themselves, but in how
they are lived every day.

We continuously remind
our associates of the rewards
that come with running the
company in a legal, ethical
and responsible way, along
with the consequences of
failing to do so. We want, and
intend to be, a sustainable
enterprise, and that demands
our people act in responsible
ways, and think about our
businesses for the long term.

A Word of Thanks to Sol Trujillo
Sol Trujillo retired from the board when he was named chief executive officer of Telstra Corporation, the
Australian telecommunications and information services company. Sol served for five years on our Board,
providing valuable insights and advice. He has an astute understanding of consumers and provided 
excellent guidance during our merger with Quaker.  His counsel and contributions will be greatly missed. 

Welcome to New Board Members
Joining our Board of Directors in 2005 were Dina Dublon, Victor J. Dzau, M.D. and Alberto Ibargüen. 

Dina Dublon was, until October 2004, executive vice president and chief financial officer for
JPMorgan Chase, the U.S.-based banking company with more than $1 trillion in assets. She brings a
deep expertise in financial management that significantly enhances PepsiCo’s capability in this important
area. She will serve on our Audit Committee.

Dr. Dzau is one of the world’s foremost authorities on health issues, chancellor for health affairs at 

Duke University and president and chief executive officer of the Duke University Health System. His 
medical insights and business acumen will be invaluable as we strive to achieve our commitment to health
and wellness.  

Alberto Ibargüen previously was chairman of the Miami Herald Publishing Company, a Knight Ridder

subsidiary, and has served as publisher of the Miami Herald and El Nuevo Herald. In July 2005, he
became president and chief executive officer of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, a major
supporter of journalism programs and civic advancement. He brings both business and community 
expertise and will serve on the Audit Committee.

Growth is our reason for being. In fact, growth is so much a part of PepsiCo’s
DNA that it’s reflected in our values as our commitment to sustained growth.
Fundamentally, there are two ways for a corporation to generate profitable
growth for its shareholders: by increasing revenues and decreasing costs. 
It’s a relatively simple concept, but the longer a company is in business and
the bigger it gets, the more difficult growth is to achieve. And in accomplishing
these most basic — and difficult — priorities over time, the single biggest 
contributor to sustained growth lies in how the enterprise consistently delivers
top-line growth and bottom-line performance. Over time, the way a company
delivers growth will define the difference between its success and failure.
PepsiCo Values
“Sustained Growth” means consistent growth for our business as well as our 
people — growth year after year.

“Empowered People” is the second piece of that commitment, as the decisions

that drive the business come from tens of thousands of PepsiCo associates
throughout the world who develop, manufacture and deliver our products.
Empowered people act and think in ways that get the job done, and innovate to
find new ways to achieve growth. 
“Responsibility and Trust” is the third piece of our commitment. It articulates

that acting responsibly and earning the trust of our shareholders, customers, 
consumers and other stakeholders is a necessity for growth.  Our growth must
come the right way. It takes a lifetime to build that trust, and a single misstep
can destroy it. Winning is only worth it if is done the right way — acting in a
responsible way that will build trust.

Top Line: Our Competitive Advantages
Growing revenues, or the top line, requires constant care and investment in our
competitive advantages. These are the strengths we bring to the marketplace that
set us apart. These include our quality brands — products known and trusted by
consumers around the world. We constantly revitalize these brands with packag-
ing and product improvements and consumer promotions to keep them strong.
When an opportunity to add new products that complement our portfolio
comes along, we consider building them from within or acquiring new brands
through smaller “tuck in” acquisitions, which can be integrated easily with our
lines of business.
Our ability to innovate is another competitive advantage.  We look for 
opportunities to capitalize on the value of our brands by creating new products
and varieties.  By innovating to meet consumer needs and preferences, we fill 

division_L01P06_15v3.qxd  3/4/06  2:39 PM  Page 7

consumption gaps and contribute to creating both healthier and indulgent 
choices for consumers, and bringing more enjoyment to their lives.
Bringing those products to consumers is where our third major competitive
strength comes into play: our strong, established delivery systems. They include
direct-store-delivery, where our own associates load and set up the shelves; 
warehouse systems, where retailers store and replenish product; and dedicated
teams to supply foodservice and vending customers. The strength and span of 
our systems help us quickly introduce a product into the market — which helps
us put our products within easy reach whenever a consumer is thirsty or hungry.
Bottom Line: A Constant Focus
Through our Business Process Transformation initiative, we are equally focused 
on reducing expenses to produce a healthy bottom line. We’re streamlining our
processes by employing new technology to meet customer and business needs.
We’re finding new ways to capture the full value of every penny we earn, such as
using a new treasury management program to invest revenues the same day we
receive them. We’re consolidating our purchasing to secure more favorable 
prices and delivery. We’re developing state-of-the-art water programs, energy 
conservation methods and other environmental initiatives that will make our 
businesses more sustainable.

None of this would happen without our people, the drivers of everything we do.
They are among the most talented and dedicated individuals in the world.
Each of these competitive strengths comes together to meet the needs of our
consumers, shareholders and other stakeholders in creating sustainable growth 
on any day.

PepsiCo North America Revenues

% System Revenue

Smart Spot
40%

Non-Smart Spot

A wide variety of PepsiCo products
carry the Smart Spot symbol to identify
choices that can contribute to 
healthier lifestyles.

Health and wellness represents one of our most critical opportunities for growth. In capturing
this opportunity, we believe we can play a role in empowering and motivating consumers to
lead healthier lifestyles, and we believe our actions are making a difference.
Our focus on product reformulation — reducing sugar, fat or sodium or adding whole
grains and healthier oils; our commitment to developing new products that support healthier
eating; and our passion for promoting active lifestyles, all illustrate our drive to make it 
easier for our consumers to make choices that are part of healthier lifestyles. In 2005, we
became the first major food and beverage company to promote healthier lifestyles — beyond
products — to consumers through a major program called S.M.A.R.T., which encourages
healthier eating and exercise habits.
We realize that doing the right thing for our consumers and employees is doing the right
thing for our business. In fact, our Smart Spot eligible products revenue grew more than
two-and-one-half times faster than the rest of our portfolio in 2005. The Smart Spot symbol
helps consumers find our products that can contribute to healthier lifestyles.

Energy Balance
The solution to the problem of increasing obesity rates is far from simple. It requires consumers
to understand and achieve energy balance — the balance between calories consumed and
calories expended through activity. To help consumers achieve energy balance, we’re 
providing them with convenient, healthier products they want to consume and that fit their
busy lifestyles. We also are encouraging them to engage in physical activities they enjoy.
Our Commitment to Healthier Choices
Building on the foundation of brands like Quaker, Tropicana, Aquafina, Baked! and others,
we’re putting more emphasis on making products with healthy ingredients — like oatmeal,
water and juice — more convenient. For example, we’ve combined fruit and juice and made
them more convenient through Tropicana FruitWise, a delicious line of fruit strips, bars and 
beverages that deliver one to two servings of fruit in a portable, convenient form. 
Our Quaker Milk Chillers product is another example. These dairy products have 
reduced calories and are fortified with calcium and seven essential vitamins. Other 
examples include:

• Eliminating trans fats from Frito-Lay branded products in 2003. We were the first
major food company to make this change.
• Creating new reduced-sugar Instant Quaker Oatmeal varieties, and adding Take Heart
and Weight Control versions to our instant oatmeal line-up. 
• Creating Tropicana Light ’n Healthy orange juice beverage, which has half the sugar
and calories of orange juice.
• Adding a new variety of flavored water to our Aquafina line-up with the introduction of
FlavorSplash. This non-carbonated variety gives consumers a hint of flavor in their
water, without adding calories.
• Building on the success of Propel Fitness Water with the introduction of Propel
Calcium, the first national fitness water with added calcium.

division_L01P06_15v3.qxd  3/4/06  2:39 PM  Page 9

Smart Spot Products Contribute to Healthier Choices
In 2004, PepsiCo launched the Smart Spot symbol, the first-of-its-kind designation that makes
it easier for consumers to identify PepsiCo products which can contribute to healthier lifestyles.
And in 2005, our Canadian business introduced a similar program to consumers.
Products with the Smart Spot designation in the United States meet nutrition criteria based on
authoritative statements from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the National
Academy of Sciences. Those criteria define limits for fat — including saturated and trans fats — 
cholesterol, added sugar and sodium. The criteria also are used to identify products formulated to
have specific health or wellness benefits, or products reduced in calories or ingredients such as 
fat or sugar.  For more information visit www.smartspot.com. 
Our Commitment to Promoting Healthier Lifestyles
As a leading food and beverage company, we believe we have a role in supporting programs that
help consumers with the “calories out” side of the equation as well.
The PepsiCo S.M.A.R.T. lifestyle program involves five simple steps for healthier living.  The
S.M.A.R.T. program is supported with a national advertising campaign. And in 2006, PepsiCo
plans to build 12 Smart Spot playgrounds in inner city locations across the county. Our goal is
to support more active lifestyles for families and kids — and get them to “move more.”
Impacting Local Communities
PepsiCo is proud to be the national presenting sponsor of America On the Move (AOM), a
national program dedicated to helping individuals, families and communities make positive
changes to health and quality of life. AOM recommends taking 2,000 more steps and 
consuming 100 fewer calories a day to stop weight gain. 
Working with AOM, PepsiCo has partnered with the National Urban League and the National
Council of La Raza to address common health concerns that affect African Americans and
Latinos. Both organizations are tailoring AOM’s approach to help people initiate and maintain
meaningful and measurable behavior changes that support healthy eating and active living habits. 
In Mexico, the PepsiCo Foundation has partnered with Fundación Actívate to pilot Activa2,
an energy balance program for youth which encourages healthy eating habits and exercise. 
Our Commitment to Schools and Educators
Schools want to provide children with the right food and beverage choices, too.  That’s why
PepsiCo provides a wide range of offerings in schools, including Smart Spot products in particular.
New products that are appropriate for kids are being introduced first in schools — products like
reduced-fat Baked! Cheetos snacks. We are working with our bottlers and vending distributors to
establish guidelines on school offerings, again with an emphasis on Smart Spot products.
To help educate kids about energy balance, PepsiCo and America On the Move developed 
a lesson plan called Balance First. This program reached 3 million elementary age students in
2004. In 2005, we continued to distribute the lesson plans to elementary schools. And in 
partnership with Discovery Education, we’ve distributed the Balance First program to 15,000
middle schools in the United States — virtually every middle school in the nation.
In partnership with the American Beverage Association, PepsiCo and other industry members
developed a school vending policy aimed at providing lower-calorie and/or nutritious beverages
and limiting the availability of soft drinks in schools.

Whether it’s a new product, improvement to an existing product, new packaging or 
a unique promotion, we’re relentless in our drive to keep our products relevant 
to consumers. 

March of New Products 
Early in the year, Pepsi-Cola North America capitalized on our leading Aquafina brand
with FlavorSplash, a zero-calorie water made with natural fruit flavors and sweetened
with Splenda no-calorie sweetener. 

Our SoBe team built on the strength of its South Beach Diet program-endorsed Lean

line with two new flavors: Lean Energy and Lean Mango Melon. The Pepsi-Lipton Tea
Partnership unveiled a new Diet Sweet version of ready-to-drink Lipton Iced Tea. 

We also kept our carbonated soft drink brands top of mind. Building sales of our
flagship Pepsi brand, Pepsi-Cola introduced Pepsi Lime and Diet Pepsi Lime, a pair
of colas featuring the popular lime flavor. Pioneering a new category of “energy
sodas,” Pepsi-Cola launched MDX, a beverage touting the familiar citrus flavor of
Mountain Dew, but fueled by a “power pack” of ingredients including ginseng,
guarana, taurine and D-ribose.

The march of our new products continued when Tropicana introduced Tropicana

Pure Premium Essentials with Fiber — the first national orange juice with added
fiber. It delivers as much fiber as a whole orange in every 8-ounce glass. Then we
gave lemonade a new meaning with the introduction of a Gatorade Lemonade, a line
that combines the refreshing taste of lemonade with the scientifically supported 
formula of Gatorade Thirst Quencher. 

At Frito-Lay North America, we reformulated all our Quaker Chewy granola bars to
remove trans fat — plus we reformulated many of them to reduce sugar by 25% and
add calcium. Many of these bars now bear the Smart Spot symbol and our new 
package graphics reinforce the linkage to Quaker Oatmeal. In our Oberto meat snacks
line, distributed by Frito-Lay, we introduced Oh Boy! Oberto Beef Jerky Crisps, a first-
of-its-kind snack that bridges the gap between beef jerky and traditional snack chips.  
At our Quaker Foods business, we added to our successful Life Cereal line with the
introduction of Life Vanilla Yogurt Crunch — combining Life Cereal with yogurt-coated
clusters while delivering nine essential vitamins and minerals and providing a good
source of calcium and fiber. Quaker also introduced new Weight Control instant 
oatmeal, a quick, convenient way to eat a nutritious breakfast that is high in fiber and
a good source of protein, and Quaker Oatmeal-To-Go bars, which provide all the 
nutrition of a bowl of instant oatmeal.

Hundreds of innovations help drive our growth in international markets. Pepsi Cino, the
first cola-coffee flavor combination from a major beverage company, was a dynamic new entry
to the carbonated soft drink arena. 7UP H2O, a sugar-free sparkling water infused with the
flavor of 7UP, was launched in Argentina and proved highly appealing to consumers interest-
ed in lighter beverages. In China, the relaunch and expansion of Gatorade helped us capture
a solid position in the growing sports drink category. And we expanded Tropicana in Europe,
Asia and the Middle East.

Capturing Consumer Attention with Packaging 
Packaging captures attention and gives us an opportunity to tell consumers about our brands.
For example, Lipton Original received a makeover. It’s now in 16-ounce glass bottles that
include a logo noting the brand’s naturally protective antioxidants. We introduced new 
striking black and silver graphics to highlight reformulated Pepsi ONE. 

SoBe Beverages celebrated its tenth anniversary by unveiling new graphics for the entire

20-ounce product line, scheduled to be on the shelves in 2006. The Tropicana Light ’n
Healthy packaging was the first juice beverages to carry Weight Watchers’ proprietary POINTS
values on the packaging.

Outside the United States, one highlight of our packaging innovation was a new 7UP 

plastic bottle with a distinctive, proprietary shape that features bold graphics and is 
attracting lots of attention on store shelves.

Promotions that Keep Our Brands Top of Mind 
Pepsi-Cola used music to help keep our brands top of mind. The Pepsi iTunes giveaway
offered 200 million free songs.  In mid-year, Pepsi and Yahoo! announced a partnership to
bring music to fans with “Smash on Yahoo! Music,” an adaptation of the “Pepsi Smash”
summer concert TV program.  

With “Call Upon Yoda,” an instant-win sweepstakes, Pepsi-Cola took advantage of the

release of the highly anticipated movie “Star Wars: Episode III, Revenge of the Sith.” 
Frito-Lay joined by launching Star Wars-inspired Twisted Cheetos snacks, which temporarily
turned the color of consumers’ tongues into “Yoda Green” or “Darth Vader Dark.” 

Pepsi was back with our “Go Pro” sweepstakes, a sports fan’s fantasy that offered the

chance to win trips to select professional sporting events across the country. Then Pepsi turned
up the volume even higher with its highly successful Mountain Dew promotion that gave away
an Xbox 360 next-generation video game and entertainment system every ten minutes. 

Mountain Dew made news with Mountain Dew (MD) Films and Universal Pictures joint

release of “First Descent,” the story of the rise of snowboarding. Our SoBe business 
kept the action going all year with concert tours, support of major surfing events, 
supercross/motocross racing and skateboarding — activities that reflect active lives of 
“Team Lizard” fans. Gatorade gave its brands local visibility through the Gatorade Athlete 
of the Year award program which recognizes young athletes.

Our goal is to have our products in arm’s reach whenever and wherever consumers want
them. And we’re delivering — literally. For example, our brands include seven of the 13
largest food and beverage brands sold in U.S. supermarkets. Whether they’re new or brand-
loyal consumers, each consumer must be able to find our products in order to buy them.
That’s why the strength of our selling, distribution and internal systems is so critical.

From stocking shelves and creating displays in supermarkets, to making sure the small
corner deli has our products, our front-line teams go the distance. They are supported by
an infrastructure dedicated to streamlining our processes and enhancing our growth
through efficiency. For example, we are consolidating global purchasing to ensure we
leverage our spending, and we are revamping our business processes to give our customers
what they need. 

Our Distribution Systems
Most of our sales are delivered through direct-store-delivery (DSD) distribution systems,
where a dedicated team delivers the product to the stores and places our products on the
shelves. This gives us the opportunity to merchandise our products and make sure they are
always available. It gives the route salesperson the ability to meet the specific needs of
any retailer. Our system reached hundreds of thousands of retail outlets this way, from tiny
convenience stores to the largest supermarkets, helping us distribute new product 
offerings in record time. In 2005, we started to add 475 new distribution routes at 
Frito-Lay in the United States — our largest addition in nearly a decade. Internationally,
our sales force of almost 35,000 reaches nearly every corner of the globe. 

Our Gatorade and shelf-stable Tropicana juices, as well as many of our Quaker and
other less perishable products, are delivered through one of the largest warehouse delivery
systems in the world. Tropicana Pure Premium comes fresh through a refrigerated ware-
house or chilled direct-store-delivery system.

Our distribution systems are designed to meet the needs of our customers. For 

example, Frito-Lay sells its Gamesa cookies and crackers through warehouse, third-party
distributors, direct shipment and DSD. When taken together, over the past three years,
PepsiCo products delivered through all these methods contributed more to the growth in
U.S. supermarkets than any other company.

An equally robust system is dedicated to delivering our products to foodservice and
vending customers.  New beverage partners include Taco John’s and Arby’s — high-traffic
restaurants. Taco John’s operates and franchises more than 400 quick-serve restaurants in
27 states. Arby’s consists of nearly 3,500 restaurants worldwide, including more than
1,000 in the United States. Pepsi-Cola expanded its partnership with Metromedia
Restaurant Group (MRG), which has more than 800 restaurants. The new partnership adds
Bennigan’s and Steak & Ale restaurants to the existing relationship with Ponderosa and
Bonanza Steakhouses.

Business Process Transformation/Project One Up 
Execution begins long before our products are delivered. PepsiCo’s Business
Process Transformation (BPT) initiative is addressing the changing market and
needs of our customers. In the past, PepsiCo divisions operated on separate
information systems and had varying business processes. In 2004, we
embarked on a journey to change our business model to better meet the 
needs of our retail customers. The most central piece of our BPT efforts is an 
implementation called Project One Up, so named because it will allow us to
“one up” the competition. It’s a multi-year project to simplify and synchronize
our business processes and tools into one common platform.   

We believe Project One Up will help PepsiCo in key areas:

• Customer insights — We will collect more and better consumer behavior

and marketing insights to increase sales.

• Procurement — We will consolidate and optimize purchasing to reduce

costs and ensure supply. 

• Supply chain — We will manufacture and distribute our products faster and
more efficiently, based on the increased information and new processes. 
• Finance — We will consolidate billing and provide more complete and

responsive financial data to our trading partners.

• Go-to-market — We will share information throughout PepsiCo faster and

with more efficiency, improving customer service. 

We have a dedicated team of representatives from various divisions and

functions working on Project One Up.  

Making Every Penny Count
Innovation can improve our processes. When our treasury team required a 
banking system with global visibility to optimize PepsiCo’s investments, they
teamed with Citigroup to develop a web-based tool called “TreasuryVision” that
provides views of real-time balances, cash positions, investments and borrowings
worldwide. Every day, in countries around the world, our sales force receives
payments from stores for products and deposits those funds across hundreds of
bank accounts. In the past, there may have been a lag of up to several days
before our treasury team had access to these funds. The new system will provide
visibility to these funds and will enable us to invest them more efficiently.

With  95%  of  the  world’s  population  located  outside  North  America,  international  growth
is  our  single  largest  opportunity.  Our  strategies  are  focused:
•  Build  on  our  snack  leadership  position. 
•  Focus  on  the  strengths  of  our  beverages. 
•  Grow  through  acquisitions.
•  Take  advantage  of  our  scale.
Our  snack  business  is  the  largest  in  the  world,  and  our  brands  are  recognized  in  markets
Build  on  Our  Snack  Leadership  Position
ranging  from  Mexico  to  the  United  Kingdom  to  Thailand.  Yet,  in  some  of  the  largest
developing  markets,  such  as  China  and  India,  per-capita  consumption  is  still  small  and
many  consumers  have  never  tasted  our  brands.  To  us,  that  means  vast  opportunities. 
We’re  building  our  existing  business  by  offering  consumers  more  variety  and  conven-
ience,  including  flavors  tailored  to  local  tastes.  For  example,  in  China  we  offer  Lay’s  potato
chips  in  flavors  that  include  Hangzhou  Stewed  Meat,  Hokkaido  Crab  and  Cool  Cucumber. 
Providing  products  and  programs  that  address  consumers’  growing  interest  in  health
and  wellness  also  drives  our  success.  In  the  United  Kingdom,  we  lowered  the  saturated
fat  in  our  standard  Walkers  crisps  by  70%  and  launched  Potato  Heads,  a  highly  success-
ful  range  of  crisps  for  children,  also  with  70%  less  saturated  fat  and  no  artificial  flavors
or  preservatives.  In  Mexico,  we  have  driven  strong  growth  of  the  healthy  segment  with
brands  such  as  Nutritas,  an  extruded  snack,  and  Sun  Chips  multigrain  snacks.
Focus  on  the  Strengths  of  Our  Beverages 
Our  international  beverage  volume  has  grown  consistently  during  the  past  four  years.
Through  our  company-owned  and  franchise-owned  bottlers,  we  make  and  market  an  array
of  major  brands,  including  Pepsi-Cola,  7UP,  Mirinda  and  Mountain  Dew.  Our  portfolio

continuous  flow  of  product  news  and  package  innovations,  and  exciting  marketing
programs  —  often  leveraging  the  universal  appeal  of  music  and  sports. 
We  also  offer  consumers  a  portfolio  of  non-carbonated  beverages  that  includes  our
Gatorade,  Tropicana  and  Aquafina  brands,  as  well  as  Lipton  teas  through  our  joint  ven-
ture  with  Unilever.  Tropicana  is  now  available  in  more  than  30  countries  and  we’ve
expanded  the  presence  of  Gatorade,  the  world’s  leading  sports  drink,  into  markets  such
as  China  and  India.   
Acquisitions  offer  additional  opportunities  to  build  our  business  and  enter  new  markets

Focus Areas
• Values
• Diversity and Inclusion
• Health and Wellness
• Water
• Packaging

Sustainability lives at the intersection of public and business interests. It encompasses
citizenship and corporate social responsibility, which are about doing the right things
for society and for the business. It encompasses the health of the corporation, which is
about fulfilling our mission of creating financial rewards and growth. 
A History of Responsibility
PepsiCo has always been a responsible corporation. Our Worldwide Code of Conduct
had guided our actions for decades, and we have been a consistent contributor to our
communities and to the nonprofit organizations that support our society. We have been
recognized as a leading company in areas such as diversity and inclusion, purchasing
from women-owned and minority-owned suppliers, corporate governance, environmental
stewardship and social leadership. We provide our associates with a broad menu of 
benefits and competitive compensation. We recognize our responsibility to consumers to
provide safe, quality products, and to offer product choices that help them meet their
needs, whether it is a need for pure refreshment and fun, or for foods and beverages
that make it easier and more enjoyable for them to lead healthier lives. 

We recognize that is not enough. 

Our Sustainability Journey 
In 2003, we took the first steps on a journey to become a more sustainable corpora-
tion. We voluntarily adopted the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines as a 
template for reporting on our economic, environmental and social performance — the
“triple bottom line” — and a measure of our sustainability. In 2004, we took another
important step with the establishment of our Sustainability Task Force, comprised of
senior executives from all our divisions. 
Throughout 2004 and 2005, the Sustainability Task Force defined our sustainability
vision and we determined our key focus areas: values, diversity and inclusion, health
and wellness, and the environment, especially water and packaging. We placed empha-
sis on the development of environmental standards and metrics. 
The Sustainability Task Force, working with PepsiCo’s Environmental Task Force,
developed consistent metrics for tracking our progress in the areas of water and energy.
These measures are being introduced into all our divisions. 
A sound Environmental Management System (EMS) is basic to sustainability. In
2005, PepsiCo developed a framework that establishes rigorous procedures for manag-
ing our environmental impacts. Previously, each division had distinct environmental 
programs and processes. We have targeted 2006 to begin the process of implementing
our new EMS framework across our businesses. 
Further progress was made on our Capital Expenditure Filter, a process that ensures
that sustainability issues are formally considered in all major capital expenditure 
proposals. We piloted the filter on two projects, a new Gatorade plant in Virginia and a
new warehouse in Arizona. The filter proved to be a valuable tool in decision-making,

Our M ission
We aspire to make PepsiCo the world’s 
premier consumer products company,
focused on convenient foods and beverages.
We seek to produce healthy financial
rewards for investors as we provide oppor-
tunities for growth and enrichment to our
employees, our business partners and the
communities in which we operate. And in
everything we do, we strive to act with 
honesty, openness, fairness and integrity.

helping us identify potential environmental impacts, such as watershed protection, green building
design opportunities, renewable energy usage and biodiversity. 
We are seeking opportunities to implement our minimization and optimization philosophy,
both reducing our impacts and seeking ways to reach optimal solutions. For example, Gatorade is
installing state-of-the-art high speed lines that minimize product spillage. The lines use
advanced air rinsing of empty Gatorade bottles. 

Values
Each year, every PepsiCo associate is asked to review our Worldwide Code of Conduct and recom-
mit to living by it. Associates receive training in the Code, which is available in 38 languages and
is accessible from both our internal and external websites. In 2005, we took additional steps to
ensure that key associates understand every aspect of our Code. We developed online and written
training and certification that approximately 25,000 executives and associates are required to
complete. We report the results of these programs to our Board of Directors.
During the year, we improved our Speak Up line — a free hotline operated by a third party —
which PepsiCo associates may call to report any issue of concern, including those relating to 
values, Code of Conduct and accounting and auditing issues. The line is accessible from 
anywhere around the world and callers may remain anonymous. 
Diversity and Inclusion
We are becoming a much more diverse and global company.  Actively working to create a more
diverse workforce and supplier base helps us better understand customers and consumers. A
focus on developing an inclusive atmosphere where all associates feel they can succeed helps
PepsiCo succeed.
Each of our employee networks is represented at the most senior levels by an executive 
reporting to our chief executive officer. Our U.S. groups include African-Americans, Latinos,
Asian, Women, White Males, Gay/Bisexual/Lesbian/Transgender (GBLT) and our newest group,
“Enable,” for individuals with different abilities. 
We launched an electronic employee newsletter dedicated to diversity and inclusion. These
new initiatives, plus ongoing programs and the continued counsel of our Ethnic Advisory Boards,
are leading to better business insights and decisions. 
Our program to increase spending with women and minority suppliers 
was in the spotlight when PepsiCo Chairman and Chief Executive Officer 
Steve Reinemund was named chairman of the National Minority Supplier
Development Council (NMSDC).

Water

Employee Health and Wellness
Consumers are not the only beneficiaries of our focus on health and wellness. Our
associates also reap the advantages. HealthRoads is our innovative wellness benefit
offered in North America. The program promotes healthier lifestyles through a 
combination of personalized coaching, fitness and nutrition programs, online tools,
resources and worksite wellness initiatives. 
HealthRoads offers a variety of programs that encourage associates to improve
their health. A Personal Health Assessment provides information tailored to the
associate’s unique health needs and recommends steps for improving health. 
The program includes initiatives such as America On the Move (AOM), weight 
management programs and 5 A-Day, a program where participants are encouraged
to eat at least five servings of fruit and vegetables a day for better health. 
Water is a key sustainability priority for our company. We work closely with govern-
ments, municipalities and technical experts to make sure that our water practices
are responsible. Over the years, we have voluntarily developed many programs to
reduce, reuse and recycle water, and that commitment is stronger than ever. We
also work proactively to improve water supplies in communities where quality or
quantity is a problem. And we readily donate water when disasters strike.  
Every PepsiCo division is engaged in water projects. In Europe and Asia, we 
harvest rainwater to help restore aquifers. In countries like India, where water
shortages can be severe, we are building community infrastructure to help meet
needs. In Kerala, India, for example, Pepsi-Cola increased the water supply for that
drought-stricken community by digging new wells. 
In the United States, our conservation efforts include reducing our use of water
through conservation techniques, using recycled water for plant maintenance and
using wastewater to irrigate crops used for animal feed. 
In China, PepsiCo Foundation is partnering with China Women’s Development
Foundation (CWDF) — which is part of the All China Women’s Federation — on a
research and development initiative designed to expand availability of safe drinking
water for the people of Western and Central China. In India, PepsiCo is providing
support to the Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) to create sustainable state-of-
the-art water resources management processes in the community. 
Packaging — particularly that of our beverage containers — is another key sustain-
Packaging
ability priority. PepsiCo fully supports the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA)
hierarchy:  Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
• Reduce: PepsiCo has reduced the weight of our beverage packaging significantly
and uses nearly 60% less packaging now than in 1990 to deliver the same
amount of soft drinks.
• Reuse: Our aluminum cans contain approximately 50% previously used 
aluminum materials. Our glass bottles contain between 25%-35% of previously
used material. In 2002, PepsiCo committed to include 10% recycled content in

our carbonated soft drink plastic bottles in the United States by 2005. Thanks to
our bottlers, PepsiCo met that goal on schedule.
• Recycle: While beverage containers are the most recycled consumer packaging in
the United States, we recognize that recovery rates need to increase. We helped
found a new organization, the Beverage Product Environmental Council (BPEC), to
increase beverage container recycling rates. 
We continue to be careful stewards of our environment in other areas. For 
example, Tropicana minimizes waste by using every part of the orange as well as its
by-products after juice is extracted. Frito-Lay recovers starch from potatoes for use
in other industrial and food processes. Similarly, all our businesses are working to
reduce, reuse and recycle throughout the manufacturing process. 
In India, through an innovative partnership, PepsiCo has begun working with
Exnora International and the Women’s Self Help Groups, both non-governmental
groups, and the Pammal Municipality on a collaborative venture to establish an
infrastructure to manage household solid waste.  
Early in 2005, we announced a global HIV/AIDS policy. In South Africa, we intro-
HIV/AIDS
duced a company-sponsored program that offers full treatment. On World AIDS Day,
our Simba lion mascot helped build awareness. We also focused on other high risk
areas. In China, India, Russia and Thailand, workplace programs are underway build-
ing awareness, increasing prevention and improving access to information and care.
For example, in China we kicked off a hotline to answer questions on HIV/AIDS in a
safe and confidential manner. The hotline also provides information on qualified
treatment facilities. Our business in Thailand was recognized by the Thai 
government for its work on HIV/AIDS.
GRI Report is Online
You may have noticed that this year we have not included our Global Reporting
Initiative (GRI) report in this annual report. There are two reasons:
1. The report is increasing in size and complexity and including it in the annual
report was less practical and efficient.
2. The vast quantities of paper required to produce a printed sustainability report
seemed paradoxical. Putting our report online saves approximately 210 tons of
wood from trees.*  
This year, we will move to a web-based report. You will be able to find the report and
more information on our activities on our corporate website www.pepsico.com under
the GRI tab. We are reporting on new indicators, including providing our political
and charitable contributions policies with detailed reports on these contributions. We
are also updating our report on HIV/AIDS and other indicators as appropriate.

Defense Paper Calculator. For more information, visit www.papercalculator.org.

Blue Ribbon Health and Wellness Advisory Board

PepsiCo’sBlue Ribbon Health
and Wellness Advisory
Board addresses the growing
opportunity in health 
and wellness.  

The Board provides advice and expertise on a 
variety of health and wellness initiatives including:
• Improving the healthfulness of our existing products.
• Evaluating our efforts to develop new better-for-
you and good-for-you products.

• Providing access to resources that promote health
and encourage active lifestyles.

• Identifying emerging opportunities in the area of
health and wellness.

• Connecting us to thought leaders and policy 
makers in the area of health and wellness.
Our international businesses are seeking advice
in a similar manner. For example, Brazil has created
the PepsiCo Panel of Experts, made up of renowned 
scientists and professionals in the areas of 
physical activity, cardiology, endocrinology, nutrition 
and pediatrics.

Our Business

Our discussion and analysis is an integral part of understanding our financial results. Definitions of key terms can
be found in the glossary on page 76. Tabular dollars are presented in millions, except per share amounts. All per
share amounts reflect common per share amounts, assume dilution unless noted, and are based on unrounded
amounts. Percentage changes are based on unrounded amounts.

Our Operations

We are a leading, global snack and bever-
age company. We manufacture, market and
sell a variety of salty, convenient, sweet
and grain-based snacks, carbonated and
non-carbonated beverages and foods. We
are organized into four divisions:

• Frito-Lay North America,

• PepsiCo Beverages North America,

• PepsiCo International, and

• Quaker Foods North America.

Our North American divisions operate 

in the United States and Canada. Our
international divisions operate in over 200
countries, with our largest operations in
Mexico and the United Kingdom. Additional
information concerning our divisions and
geographic areas is presented in Note 1.

Frito-Lay North America
Frito-Lay North America (FLNA) manufac-
tures or uses contract manufacturers, mar-
kets, sells and distributes branded snacks.
These snacks include Lay’s potato chips,

Doritos tortilla chips, Cheetos cheese 
flavored snacks, Tostitos tortilla chips,
Fritos corn chips, branded dips, Ruffles
potato chips, Quaker Chewy granola bars,
Rold Gold pretzels, Sun Chips multigrain
snacks, Munchies snack mix, Grandma’s
cookies, Lay’s Stax potato crisps, Quaker
Quakes corn and rice snacks, Quaker Fruit
& Oatmeal bars, Cracker Jack candy coated

All of our divisions positively
contributed to net revenue
and operating profit growth
in 2005.

popcorn and Go Snacks. FLNA branded
products are sold to independent distribu-
tors and retailers.

PepsiCo Beverages North America
PepsiCo Beverages North America (PBNA)
manufactures or uses contract manufactur-
ers, markets and sells beverage concen-

trates, fountain syrups and finished goods,
under various beverage brands including
Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Gatorade, Tropicana
Pure Premium, Sierra Mist, Tropicana juice
drinks, Mug, Propel, SoBe, Tropicana
Twister, Dole and Slice. PBNA also manu-
factures, markets and sells ready-to-drink
tea and coffee products through joint 
ventures with Lipton and Starbucks. In
addition, PBNA licenses the Aquafina
water brand to its bottlers and markets this
brand. PBNA sells concentrate and 
finished goods for some of these brands to
bottlers licensed by us, and some of these
branded products are sold directly by us to
independent distributors and retailers. The
franchise bottlers sell our brands as 
finished goods to independent distributors
and retailers. PBNA’s volume reflects sales
to its independent distributors and retail-
ers, and the sales of beverages bearing 
our trademarks that franchise bottlers 
have reported as sold to independent 
distributors and retailers.

PepsiCo International
PepsiCo International (PI) manufactures
through consolidated businesses as well as
through noncontrolled affiliates, a number
of leading salty and sweet snack brands
including Gamesa and Sabritas in Mexico,
Walkers in the United Kingdom, and
Smith’s in Australia. Further, PI manufac-
tures or uses contract manufacturers, 
markets and sells many Quaker brand
snacks. PI also manufactures, markets and
sells beverage concentrates, fountain
syrups and finished goods under the
brands Pepsi, 7UP, Mirinda, Gatorade,
Mountain Dew and Tropicana. These

Our Customers

Our customers include franchise bottlers
and independent distributors and retailers.
We normally grant our bottlers exclusive
contracts to sell and manufacture certain
beverage products bearing our trademarks
within a specific geographic area. These
arrangements specify the amount to be
paid by our bottlers for concentrate and
full goods and for Aquafina royalties, as
well as the manufacturing process required
for product quality.

Since we do not sell directly to the 
consumer, we rely on and provide financial
incentives to our customers to assist in the
distribution and promotion of our products.
For our independent distributors and retail-
ers, these incentives include volume-based
rebates, product placement fees, promo-
tions and displays. For our bottlers, these
incentives are referred to as bottler funding
and are negotiated annually with each 
bottler to support a variety of trade and
consumer programs, such as consumer
incentives, advertising support, new 
product support, and vending and cooler
equipment placement. Consumer incen-
tives include coupons, pricing discounts
and promotions, such as sweepstakes and
other promotional offers. Advertising 
support is directed at advertising programs
and supporting bottler media. New product

brands are sold to franchise bottlers, 
independent distributors and retailers.
However, in certain markets, PI operates
its own bottling plants and distribution
facilities. PI also licenses the Aquafina
water brand to certain of its franchise 
bottlers. PI reports two measures of volume.
Snack volume is reported on a system-wide
basis, which includes our own volume and
the volume sold by our noncontrolled 
affiliates. Beverage volume reflects com-
pany-owned and franchise bottler sales of
beverages bearing our trademarks to 
independent distributors and retailers.

Quaker Foods North America
Quaker Foods North America (QFNA) man-
ufactures or uses contract manufacturers,
markets and sells cereals, rice, pasta and
other branded products. QFNA’s products
include Quaker oatmeal, Aunt Jemima
mixes and syrups, Quaker grits, Cap’n
Crunch and Life ready-to-eat cereals, 
Rice-A-Roni, Pasta Roni and Near East
side dishes. These branded products are sold
to independent distributors and retailers.

support includes targeted consumer and
retailer incentives and direct marketplace
support, such as point-of-purchase materi-
als, product placement fees, media and
advertising. Vending and cooler equipment
placement programs support the acquisi-
tion and placement of vending machines
and cooler equipment. The nature and type
of programs vary annually. The level of 
bottler funding is at our discretion because
these incentives are not required by the
terms of our bottling contracts.

Retail consolidation has increased the
importance of major customers and further
consolidation is expected. Sales to Wal-
Mart Stores, Inc. represent approximately
9% of our total worldwide net revenue; and
our top five retail customers currently 
represent approximately 26% of our 2005
North American net revenue, with Wal-Mart
representing approximately 11%. These
percentages include concentrate sales to
our bottlers which are used in finished
goods sold by them to these retailers. In
addition, sales to The Pepsi Bottling Group
(PBG) represent approximately 10% of our
total net revenue. See “Our Related Party
Bottlers” and Note 8 for more information
on our anchor bottlers.

Our customers include
franchise bottlers and
independent distributors 
and retailers.

Our Related Party Bottlers
We have ownership interests in certain of
our bottlers. Our ownership is less than
50% and since we do not control these
bottlers, we do not consolidate their
results. We include our share of their net
income based on our percentage of eco-
nomic ownership in our income statement
as bottling equity income. We have 
designated three related party bottlers,
PBG, PepsiAmericas, Inc. (PAS) and Pepsi
Bottling Ventures LLC (PBV), as our anchor
bottlers. Our anchor bottlers distribute
approximately 62% of our North American
beverage volume and approximately 19%
of our international beverage volume. 
Our anchor bottlers participate in the 
bottler funding programs described above.
Approximately 8% of our total 2005 sales
incentives are related to these bottlers. 
See Note 8 for additional information on
these related parties and related party
commitments and guarantees.

mdav26L01P25_49v2.qxd  3/1/06  11:17 PM  Page 28

Broker-Warehouse
Some of our products are delivered from
our manufacturing plants and warehouses
to customer warehouses and retail stores.
These less costly systems generally work
best for products that are less fragile and
perishable, have lower turnover, and are
less likely to be impulse purchases.

Foodservice and Vending
Our foodservice and vending sales force
distributes snacks, foods and beverages 
to third-party foodservice and vending 
distributors and operators, and for certain
beverages, distributes through our bottlers.
This distribution system supplies our 
products to schools, businesses, stadiums,
restaurants and similar locations.

Direct-store-delivery enables
us to merchandise with
maximum visibility and appeal.

Our Distribution Network

Our products are brought to market through
direct-store-delivery, broker-warehouse and
foodservice and vending distribution 
networks. The distribution system used
depends on customer needs, product 
characteristics and local trade practices.

Direct-Store-Delivery
We and our bottlers operate direct-store-
delivery systems that deliver snacks and
beverages directly to retail stores where the
products are merchandised by our employ-
ees or our bottlers. Direct-store-delivery
enables us to merchandise with maximum
visibility and appeal. Direct-store-delivery
is especially well-suited to products that
are restocked often and respond to in-store
promotion and merchandising.

Our Competition

Our businesses operate in highly competi-
tive markets. We compete against global,
regional, local and private label manufac-
turers on the basis of price, quality, 
product variety and effective distribution.
In measured channels, our chief beverage
competitor, The Coca-Cola Company, has a
slightly larger share of carbonated soft
drink (CSD) consumption in the U.S.,
while we have a larger share of chilled

juices and isotonics. In addition, The 
Coca-Cola Company maintains a significant
CSD share advantage in many markets 
outside North America. Further, our snack
brands hold significant leadership positions
in the snack industry worldwide. Our snack
brands face local and regional competitors,
as well as national and global snack
competitors, and compete on issues related
to price, quality, variety and distribution.

Success in this competitive environment is
dependent on effective promotion of existing
products and the introduction of new
products. We believe that the strength of
our brands, innovation and marketing,
coupled with the quality of our products
and flexibility of our distribution network,
allow us to compete effectively.

Other Relationships

Certain members of our Board of Directors
also serve on the boards of certain vendors
and customers. Those Board members do
not participate in our vendor selection and
negotiations nor in our customer negotia-

tions. Our transactions with these vendors
and customers are in the normal course of
business and are consistent with terms
negotiated with other vendors and 
customers. In addition, certain of our

employees serve on the boards of our anchor
bottlers and other affiliated companies and
do not receive incremental compensation
for their Board services.

Our Business Risks

We are subject to risks in the normal course of business due to adverse
developments with respect to:
• product demand,
• our reputation,
• information technology,
• supply chain,
• retail consolidation and the loss of major customers,
• global economic and environmental conditions,
• the regulatory environment,
• workforce retention,
• raw materials and energy,
• competition, and
• market risks.

Demand for our products may be 
adversely affected by changes in 
consumer preferences and tastes.

We are a consumer products company
operating in highly competitive markets
and rely on continued demand for our
products. To generate revenues and profits,
we must sell products that appeal to our
customers and to consumers. Any signifi-
cant changes in consumer preferences and
our inability to anticipate and react to such

Our success depends on our
ability to respond to
consumer trends, such as
consumer health concerns
about obesity, product
attributes and ingredients. 

changes could result in reduced demand for
our products and erosion of our competitive
and financial position. Our success
depends on our ability to respond to 
consumer trends, such as consumer health
concerns about obesity, product attributes
and ingredients. In addition, changes in
product category consumption and 
consumer demographics could result in
reduced demand for our products.
Consumer preferences may shift due to a

variety of factors, including the aging of
the general population, changes in social
trends, changes in travel, vacation or
leisure activity patterns or a downturn in
economic conditions, which may reduce
consumers’ willingness to purchase
premium branded products. Our continued
success is also dependent on our product
innovation, including maintaining a robust
pipeline of new products, and the effec-
tiveness of our advertising campaigns and
marketing programs. There can be no
assurance as to our continued ability to
develop and launch successful new prod-
ucts or variants of existing products, or to
effectively execute advertising campaigns
and marketing programs. In addition, both
the launch and ongoing success of new
products and advertising campaigns are
inherently uncertain, especially as to their
appeal to consumers.

Any damage to our reputation could have an
adverse effect on our business, financial condi-
tion and results of operations.

Maintaining a good reputation globally is
critical to selling our branded products. If
we fail to maintain high standards for
product quality, safety and integrity, our
reputation could be jeopardized. Adverse
publicity about these types of concerns,
whether or not valid, may reduce demand
for our products or cause production and

delivery disruptions. If any of our products
becomes unfit for consumption, mis-
branded or causes injury, we may have to

Maintaining a good reputation
globally is critical to selling
our branded products.

engage in a product recall and/or be 
subject to liability. A widespread product
recall or a significant product liability 
judgment could cause our products to be
unavailable for a period of time, which
could further reduce consumer demand
and brand equity. Failure to maintain high
ethical, social and environmental standards
for all of our operations and activities
could also jeopardize our reputation.
Damage to our reputation or loss of 
consumer confidence in our products for
any of these reasons could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations, as well
as require additional resources to rebuild
our reputation.

If we are not able to build and sustain proper
information technology infrastructure, our
business could suffer.

We depend on information technology as
an enabler to operating efficiently and
interfacing with customers, as well as
maintaining financial accuracy and 
efficiency. If we do not allocate, and 
effectively manage, the resources necessary
to build and sustain the proper technology
infrastructure, we could be subject to
transaction errors, processing inefficiencies,
the loss of customers, business disruptions,
or the loss of or damage to intellectual
property through security breach.

We have embarked on a multiyear

Business Process Transformation (BPT) ini-
tiative that includes the delivery of an SAP
enterprise resource planning application,
as well as the migration to common busi-
ness processes across our North American
operations. There can be no certainty that

29

mdav26L01P25_49v2.qxd  3/1/06  11:17 PM  Page 30

these programs will deliver the expected
benefits. The failure to deliver our goals
may impact our ability to (1) process trans-
actions accurately and efficiently and (2)
remain in step with the changing needs of
the trade, which could result in the loss of
customers. In addition, the failure to either
deliver the application on time, or antici-
pate the necessary readiness and training
needs, could lead to business disruption.

Our ability to make, move 
and sell products is critical
to our success.

As with all large systems, our informa-
tion systems could be penetrated by outside
parties intent on extracting information,
corrupting information or disrupting 
business processes. Such unauthorized
access could disrupt our business and
could result in the loss of assets.

Disruption of our supply chain could have an
adverse effect on our business, financial 
condition and results of operations.

Our ability to make, move and sell prod-
ucts is critical to our success. Damage 
or disruption to our manufacturing or 
distribution capabilities due to weather,
natural disaster, fire or explosion, terrorism,
pandemic, strikes or other reasons could
impair our ability to manufacture or sell
our products. Failure to take adequate
steps to mitigate the likelihood or potential
impact of such events, or to effectively
manage such events if they occur, could
adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations, as well
as require additional resources to restore
our supply chain.

Trade consolidation or the loss of any key
customer could adversely affect our financial
performance.

There is a greater concentration of our 
customer base around the world generally
due to the continued consolidation of retail
trade. As retail ownership becomes more
concentrated, retailers demand lower pricing
and increased promotional programs.
Further, as larger retailers increase utiliza-
tion of their own distribution networks and

private label brands, the competitive 
advantages we derive from our go-to-market 
systems and brand equity may be eroded.
Failure to appropriately respond to these
trends or to offer effective sales incentives
and marketing programs to our customers
could reduce our ability to secure adequate
shelf space at our retailers and adversely
affect our financial performance.

We must maintain mutually beneficial

relationships with our key customers,
including our retailers and anchor bottlers,
to effectively compete. Loss of any of our
key customers could have an adverse
effect on our business, financial condition
and results of operations. See “Our
Customers,” “Our Related Party Bottlers”
and Note 8 to our consolidated financial
statements for more information on our
customers, including our anchor bottlers.

Our business may be adversely impacted by
unfavorable economic or environmental con-
ditions or political or other developments and
risks in the countries in which we operate.

Unfavorable global economic or environ-
mental changes, political conditions or
other developments may result in business
disruption, supply constraints, foreign 
currency devaluation, inflation, deflation or
decreased demand. Economic conditions
in North America could also adversely
impact growth. For example, rising fuel
costs may impact the sales of our products
in convenience stores where our products
are generally sold in higher margin single
serve packages. Our international opera-
tions accounted for over a third of our
evenue for the period ended December 31,
2005. Unstable economic and political
conditions or civil unrest in the countries
in which we operate could have adverse
impacts on our business results or 
financial condition.

Regulatory decisions and changes in the
legal and regulatory environment could
increase our costs and liabilities or limit our
business activities.

The conduct of our businesses, and the
production, distribution, sale, advertising,
labeling, safety, transportation and use of
many of our products, are subject to vari-
ous laws and regulations administered by
federal, state and local governmental 
agencies in the United States, as well as to

foreign laws and regulations administered
by government entities and agencies in
markets in which we operate. In many
jurisdictions, compliance with competition
laws is of special importance to us due to
our competitive position in those 
jurisdictions. These laws and regulations
may change, sometimes dramatically, as a
result of political, economic or social
events. Changes in laws, regulations or
governmental policy and the related 
interpretations may alter the environment

Changes in laws, regulations
or governmental policy may
alter the environment in
which we do business.

in which we do business and, therefore, may
impact our results or increase our costs or
liabilities. Such regulatory environment
changes include changes in food and drug
laws, laws related to advertising and
deceptive marketing practices, accounting
standards, taxation requirements, 
competition laws and environmental laws, 
including California Proposition 65 and the
regulation of water consumption and treat-
ment. In particular, governmental bodies in
countries where we operate may impose
new labeling, product or production
requirements, or other restrictions.
Regulatory authorities under whose laws
we operate may also have enforcement
powers that can subject us to actions such
as product recall, seizure of products or
other sanctions, which could have an
adverse effect on our sales or damage 
our reputation. See also “Regulatory
Environment and Environmental
Compliance.”

If we are unable to hire or retain key 
employees, it could have a negative impact
on our business.

Our continued growth requires us to
develop our leadership bench and to
implement programs, such as our long-
term incentive program, designed to retain
talent. However, there is no assurance that
we will continue to be able to hire or retain
key employees. We compete to hire new
employees, and then must train them and
develop their skills and competencies. Our

30

mdav26L01P25_49v4.qxd  3/6/06  11:21 PM  Page 31

operating results could be adversely
affected by increased costs due to
increased competition for employees,
higher employee turnover or increased
employee benefit costs. Any unplanned
turnover could deplete our institutional
knowledge base and erode our 
competitive advantage.

Our operating results may be adversely
affected by increased costs or shortages of
raw materials.

We are exposed to the market risks arising
from adverse changes in commodity prices,
affecting the cost of our raw materials and
energy. The raw materials and energy

which we use for the production of our
products are largely commodities that are
subject to price volatility and fluctuations
in availability caused by changes in global
supply and demand, weather conditions,
agricultural uncertainty or governmental
controls. We purchase these materials and
energy mainly in the open market. If com-
modity price changes result in unexpected
increases in raw materials and energy
costs, we may not be able to increase our
prices to offset these increased costs with-
out suffering reduced volume, revenue and
operating income.

Our business could suffer if we are unable 
to compete effectively.

Our businesses operate in highly competi-
tive markets. We compete against global,
regional and private label manufacturers
on the basis of price, quality, product vari-
ety and effective distribution. Increased
competition and anticipated actions by our
competitors could lead to downward pres-
sure on prices and/or a decline in our mar-
ket share, either of which could adversely
affect our results. See “Our Competition”
for more information about our competitors.

Market Risks
We are exposed to the market risks arising from adverse changes in:
• commodity prices, affecting the cost of our raw materials and energy,
• foreign exchange rates,
• interest rates,
• stock prices, and
• discount rates affecting the measurement of our pension and retiree 

medical liabilities.

In the normal course of business, we
manage these risks through a variety of
strategies, including productivity initiatives,
global purchasing programs and hedging
strategies. Ongoing productivity initiatives
involve the identification and effective
implementation of meaningful cost saving
opportunities or efficiencies. Our global
purchasing programs include fixed-price
purchase orders and pricing agreements.
Our hedging strategies involve the use of
derivatives. Certain derivatives are desig-
nated as either cash flow or fair value
hedges and qualify for hedge accounting
treatment, while others do not qualify and
are marked to market through earnings. We
do not use derivative instruments for trading
or speculative purposes and we limit our

exposure to individual counterparties to
manage credit risk. The fair value of our
derivatives fluctuates based on market
rates and prices. The sensitivity of our
derivatives to these market fluctuations is
discussed below. See Note 10 for further

We do not use derivative
instruments for trading or
speculative purposes.

discussion of these derivatives and our
hedging policies. See “Our Critical
Accounting Policies” for a discussion of
the exposure of our pension plan assets

and pension and retiree medical liabilities
to risks related to stock prices and 
discount rates.

Inflationary, deflationary and recessionary

conditions impacting these market risks 
also impact the demand for and pricing of
our products.

Commodity Prices
Our open commodity derivative contracts
had a face value of $89 million at
December 31, 2005 and $155 million at
December 25, 2004. The open derivative
contracts designated as accounting hedges
resulted in net unrecognized gains of 
$39 million at December 31, 2005 and an
unrecognized loss of $1 million at
December 25, 2004. We estimate that a
10% decline in commodity prices would
have reduced our unrecognized gains on
open contracts to $35 million in 2005 and
increased our unrecognized losses to 
$9 million in 2004. The open derivatives
contracts that were not designated as
accounting hedges resulted in net recog-
nized losses of $3 million in 2005 and
$2 million in 2004.

31

mdav26L01P25_49v2.qxd  3/1/06  11:17 PM  Page 32

We estimate that a 10% decline in 
commodity prices would have increased
our recognized losses on open contracts 
to $4 million in 2005 and to $5 million 
in 2004.

In 2006, we expect continued pricing
pressures on our raw materials and energy
costs. We expect to be able to mitigate 
the impact of these increased costs through
our hedging strategies and ongoing 
productivity initiatives.

Foreign Exchange
Financial statements of foreign sub-
sidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars
using period-end exchange rates for assets
and liabilities and weighted-average
exchange rates for revenues and expenses.
Adjustments resulting from translating net
assets are reported as a separate compo-
nent of accumulated other comprehensive
loss within shareholders’ equity under the
caption currency translation adjustment.
Our operations outside of the U.S.
generate over a third of our net revenue of
which Mexico, the United Kingdom and
Canada comprise nearly 20%. As a result,
we are exposed to foreign currency risks,
including unforeseen economic changes
and political unrest. During 2005, net
favorable foreign currency, primarily
increases in the Mexican peso, Brazilian
real, and Canadian dollar, contributed over
1 percentage point to net revenue growth.

Currency declines which are not offset
could adversely impact our future results.
Exchange rate gains or losses related to
foreign currency transactions are recognized
as transaction gains or losses in the
income statement as incurred. We may
enter into derivatives to manage our
exposure to foreign currency transaction
risk. Our foreign currency derivatives had a
total face value of $1.1 billion at
December 31, 2005 and $908 million at
December 25, 2004. The contracts desig-
nated as accounting hedges resulted in net
unrecognized losses of $9 million at
December 31, 2005 and $27 million at
December 25, 2004. We estimate that an
unfavorable 10% change in the exchange
rates would have resulted in unrecognized
losses of $81 million in 2005 and $110
million in 2004. The contracts not desig-
nated as accounting hedges resulted in net
recognized gains of $14 million and less
than $1 million at December 31, 2005
and December 25, 2004, respectively.
These gains were almost entirely offset by
changes in the underlying hedged items,
resulting in no net impact on earnings.

Interest Rates
We centrally manage our debt and invest-
ment portfolios considering investment
opportunities and risks, tax consequences
and overall financing strategies. We may
use interest rate and cross currency

interest rate swaps to manage our overall
interest expense and foreign exchange risk.
These instruments effectively change the
interest rate and currency of specific debt
issuances. These swaps are entered into
concurrently with the issuance of the 
debt that they are intended to modify. 
The notional amount, interest payment 
and maturity date of the swaps match the
principal, interest payment and maturity
date of the related debt. Our counterparty
credit risk is considered low because these
swaps are entered into only with strong
creditworthy counterparties, are generally
settled on a net basis and are of relatively
short duration.

Assuming year-end 2005 and 2004
variable rate debt and investment levels,
a one point increase in interest rates
would have decreased net interest expense
by $8 million in 2005 and $11 million 
in 2004.

Stock Prices
A portion of our deferred compensation lia-
bility is tied to certain market indices and
our stock price. We manage these market
risks with mutual fund investments and
prepaid forward contracts for the purchase
of our stock. The combined gains or losses
on these investments are substantially
offset by changes in our deferred 
compensation liability.

Our Approach to Managing Risks
The achievement of our strategic and 
operating objectives will necessarily involve
taking risks. Our risk management process
is intended to ensure that risks are taken
knowingly and purposefully. As such, we

In 2005, we continued our
effort to drive risk mitigation
focus to where risks can be
most efficiently and
effectively managed.

leverage an integrated risk management
framework to identify, assess, prioritize,
manage, monitor, and communicate 
risks across the company. This framework
includes:

• the PepsiCo Executive Risk Council

(PERC), comprised of a cross-functional,
geographically diverse, senior manage-
ment group which identifies, assesses,
prioritizes and addresses primarily
strategic and reputational risks;

• Division Risk Committees (DRCs), com-

prised of cross-functional senior manage-
ment teams which meet regularly each
year to identify, assess, prioritize and
address division-specific operating risks;

• PepsiCo’s Risk Management Office,
which manages the overall process,
provides ongoing guidance, tools and
analytical support to the PERC and the
DRCs, identifies and assesses potential
risks, and facilitates ongoing communi-
cation between the parties, as well as to
PepsiCo’s Audit Committee; and

• PepsiCo Corporate Audit, which confirms

the ongoing effectiveness of the risk
management framework through periodic
audit and review procedures.

In 2005, we continued our effort to
drive risk mitigation focus to where risks
can be most efficiently and effectively
managed and reinforced ownership and
accountability for risk management within
the business. Some highlights include:

• With respect to product demand, we

continued to focus on the development
of products that respond to consumer
trends, such as comsumer health con-
cerns about obesity, product attributes
and ingredients, including reformulating
products to lower sugar, fats, and
sodium; adding ingredients that deliver
health benefits; and expanding our
offering of portion-controlled packages.
Smart Spot eligible products continued
to be the fastest growing part of our
North American product portfolio. We
continued to focus on marketing our
products in ways that promote healthier
lifestyles. We helped create and
endorsed the American Beverage
Association’s new schools policy, which
defines the types of products that may
be sold in schools. We actively promoted
healthy energy balance through our
national sponsorship of America On the
Move, a program designed to help families
take simple steps to maintain a healthy
energy balance.

• We enhanced the coordination of our
Division-led product integrity efforts
through the creation of the PepsiCo
Product Integrity Council (PPIC), a
cross-functional forum to share leading
practices and confer about areas of
potential risk.

Smart Spot eligible products
continued to be the fastest
growing part of our North
American product portfolio.

• We continued to enhance our internal 
IT infrastructure, by consolidating and
updating technology and retiring older
technology, as well as improving our
information security capabilities.

• We continued implementation of our
BPT initiative, which we believe will
enable us to remain in step with the
changing needs of our customers. 
Overall BPT project governance is
provided through steering committees
headed by senior executives and a team
is in place to drive effective risk man-

agement and quality processes and to
build an internal control environment
compliant with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

• We continue to assess our capability to
mitigate potential business disruptions
and evaluate an integrated approach 
to business disruption management,
including disaster recovery, crisis 
management, and business continuity.

• We established a compliance and ethics
leadership structure, appointing an SVP,
Deputy General Counsel who is focusing
on business practices and compliance,
prioritizing projects to enhance the
effectiveness of our compliance and

ethics program, including developing a
multilingual Code of Conduct training
program that will be rolled out in 2006.

• We have implemented human resource
programs which focus on diversity and
inclusion, leadership development, suc-
cession planning, and employee work-life
flexibility, and are aimed at hiring,
developing, and retaining our talented
and motivated workforce.

Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements
We discuss expectations regarding our
future performance, such as our business
outlook, in our annual and quarterly
reports, press releases, and other written
and oral statements. These “forward-look-
ing statements” are based on currently
available competitive, financial and eco-
nomic data and our operating plans. They
are inherently uncertain, and investors
must recognize that events could turn out
to be significantly different from our
expectations. We undertake no obligation
to update any forward-looking statement.
The above discussion of risks is by no
means all inclusive but is designed to
highlight what we believe are important
factors to consider when evaluating our
trends and future results.

Our Critical Accounting Policies

An appreciation of our critical accounting policies is necessary 
to understand our financial results. These policies may require 
management to make difficult and subjective judgments regarding
uncertainties, and as a result, such estimates may significantly
impact our financial results. The precision of these estimates and
the likelihood of future changes depend on a number of underlying
variables and a range of possible outcomes. Other than our accounting
for stock-based compensation and pension plans, our critical
accounting policies do not involve the choice between alternative
methods of accounting. We applied our critical accounting policies and estimation methods consistently in all
material respects, and for all periods presented, and have discussed these policies with our Audit Committee.

Our critical accounting policies arise in
conjunction with the following:
• revenue recognition,

• stock-based compensation expense, and

• pension and retiree medical plans.

• income tax expense and accruals,

• brand and goodwill valuations,

In connection with our ongoing BPT initiative, we aligned certain accounting policies across our divisions in
2005. We conformed our methodology for calculating our bad debt reserves and modified our policy for recognizing
revenue for products shipped to customers by third-party carriers. Additionally, we conformed our method of
accounting for certain costs, primarily warehouse and freight. These changes reduced our net revenue by $36 million
and our operating profit by $60 million in 2005. We also made certain reclassifications on our Consolidated
Statement of Income in the fourth quarter of 2005 from cost of sales to selling, general and administrative
expenses in connection with our BPT initiative. These reclassifications resulted in reductions to cost of sales of
$556 million through the third quarter of 2005, $732 million in the full year 2004 and $688 million in the full
year 2003, with corresponding increases to selling, general and administrative expenses in those periods. These
reclassifications had no net impact on operating profit and have been made to all periods presented for comparability. 

There have been no new accounting pronouncements issued or effective during 2005 that have had, or are

expected to have, a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

Our products are sold for cash or on credit
terms. Our credit terms, which are estab-
lished in accordance with local and industry
practices, typically require payment within
30 days of delivery in the U.S. and may
allow discounts for early payment. We rec-
ognize revenue upon shipment or delivery
to our customers based on written sales
terms that do not allow for a right of return.
However, our policy for DSD and chilled
products is to remove and replace dam-
aged and out-of-date products from store
shelves to ensure that consumers receive
the product quality and freshness they
expect. Similarly, our policy for warehouse
distributed products is to replace damaged
and out-of-date products. Based on our
historical experience with this practice, we
have reserved for anticipated damaged and

34

out-of-date products. Our bottlers have a
similar replacement policy and are respon-
sible for the products they distribute.

Our policy is to provide customers with

product when needed. In fact, our com-
mitment to freshness and product dating
serves to regulate the quantity of product
shipped or delivered. In addition, DSD
products are placed on the shelf by our
employees with customer shelf space lim-
iting the quantity of product. For product
delivered through our other distribution
networks, customer inventory levels are
monitored.

As discussed in “Our Customers,” we

offer sales incentives and discounts
through various programs to customers and
consumers. Sales incentives and discounts
are accounted for as a reduction of sales and
totaled $8.9 billion in 2005, $7.8 billion

in 2004 and $7.1 billion in 2003. Sales
incentives include payments to customers
for performing merchandising activities on
our behalf, such as payments for in-store
displays, payments to gain distribution of
new products, payments for shelf space
and discounts to promote lower retail
prices. A number of our sales incentives,
such as bottler funding and customer 
volume rebates, are based on annual tar-
gets, and accruals are established during
the year for the expected payout. These
accruals are based on contract terms and
our historical experience with similar pro-
grams and require management judgment
with respect to estimating customer partic-
ipation and performance levels. Differences
between estimated expense and actual
incentive costs are normally insignificant
and are recognized in earnings in the

mdav26L01P25_49v2.qxd  3/1/06  11:17 PM  Page 35

period such differences are determined.
The terms of most of our incentive arrange-
ments do not exceed a year, and therefore
do not require highly uncertain long-term
estimates. For interim reporting, we estimate
total annual sales incentives for most of
our programs and record a pro rata share
in proportion to revenue. Certain arrange-
ments extend beyond one year. For example,
fountain pouring rights may extend up to
15 years. The costs incurred to obtain
these arrangements are recognized over the
contract period as a reduction of revenue,

Differences between estimated
expense and actual incentive
costs are normally insignificant
and are recognized in earnings
in the period such differences
are determined.

and the remaining balances of $321 million
at year-end 2005 and $337 million at
year-end 2004 are included in current

assets and other assets in our Consolidated
Balance Sheet.

We estimate and reserve for our bad
debt exposure based on our experience
with past due accounts. In 2005, our
method of determining the reserves was
conformed across our divisions in connection
with our BPT initiative, as discussed
above. Bad debt expense is classified
within selling, general and administrative
expenses in our Consolidated Statement 
of Income.

forecasts and operating plans. These
assumptions could be adversely impacted
by certain of the risks discussed in “Our
Business Risks.”

We did not recognize any impairment
charges for perpetual brands or goodwill in
the years presented. As of December 31,
2005, we had $5.2 billion of perpetual
brands and goodwill, of which 70% related
to Tropicana and Walkers.

We did not recognize any
impairment charges for
perpetual brands or goodwill
in the years presented.

Brand and Goodwill Valuations

We sell products under a number of brand
names, many of which were developed by
us. The brand development costs are
expensed as incurred. We also purchase
brands and goodwill in acquisitions. Upon
acquisition, the purchase price is first allo-
cated to identifiable assets and liabilities,
including brands, based on estimated fair
value, with any remaining purchase price
recorded as goodwill.

We believe that a brand has an indefi-
nite life if it has significant market share
in a stable macroeconomic environment
and a history of strong revenue and cash
flow performance that we expect to continue
for the foreseeable future. If these perpetual
brand criteria are not met, brands are
amortized over their expected useful lives,
which generally range from five to 40 years.
Determining the expected life of a brand
requires considerable management judgment
and is based on an evaluation of a number
of factors, including the competitive
environment, market share, brand history
and the macroeconomic environment of the
countries in which the brand is sold.

Goodwill, including the goodwill that is

part of our noncontrolled bottling invest-
ment balances, and perpetual brands are

not amortized. Perpetual brands and good-
will are assessed for impairment at least
annually to ensure that discounted future
cash flows continue to exceed the related
book value. A perpetual brand is impaired
if its book value exceeds its fair value.
Goodwill is evaluated for impairment if the
book value of its reporting unit exceeds its
fair value. A reporting unit can be a division
or business within a division. If the fair
value of an evaluated asset is less than its
book value, the asset is written down to
fair value based on its discounted future
cash flows.

Amortizable brands are only evaluated
for impairment upon a significant change
in the operating or macroeconomic envi-
ronment. If an evaluation of the undis-
counted cash flows indicates impairment,
the asset is written down to its estimated
fair value, which is based on its discounted
future cash flows.

Considerable management judgment is
necessary to evaluate the impact of operat-
ing and macroeconomic changes and to
estimate future cash flows. Assumptions
used in our impairment evaluations, such
as forecasted growth rates and our cost of
capital, are consistent with our internal

35

mdav26L01P25_49v2.qxd  3/1/06  11:17 PM  Page 36

Income Tax Expense and Accruals

Our annual tax rate is based on our
income, statutory tax rates and tax plan-
ning opportunities available to us in the
various jurisdictions in which we operate.
Significant judgment is required in deter-
mining our annual tax rate and in evaluat-
ing our tax positions. We establish reserves
when, despite our belief that our tax return
positions are fully supportable, we believe
that certain positions are subject to
challenge and that we may not succeed.
We adjust these reserves, as well as the
related interest, in light of changing facts
and circumstances, such as the progress 
of a tax audit. See Note 5 for additional
information regarding our tax reserves.

An estimated effective tax rate for a year
is applied to our quarterly operating results.
In the event there is a significant or unusual
item recognized in our quarterly operating
results, the tax attributable to that item is
separately calculated and recorded at the
same time as that item. We consider the tax
benefits from the resolution of prior year tax
matters to be such items.

Tax law requires items to be included 
in our tax returns at different times than
the items are reflected in our financial
statements. As a result, our annual tax rate
reflected in our financial statements is dif-
ferent than that reported in our tax returns
(our cash tax rate). Some of these differ-
ences are permanent, such as expenses 

that are not deductible in our tax return,
and some differences reverse over time,
such as depreciation expense. These 
temporary differences create deferred tax
assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets
generally represent items that can be used
as a tax deduction or credit in our tax
returns in future years for which we have

$7.5 billion in earnings

quarter of 2005 in connection
with the AJCA.

already recorded the tax benefit in our
income statement. We establish valuation
allowances for our deferred tax assets
when we believe expected future taxable
income is not likely to support the use of a
deduction or credit in that tax jurisdiction.
Deferred tax liabilities generally represent
tax expense recognized in our financial
statements for which payment has been
deferred, or expense for which we have
already taken a deduction in our tax return
but we have not yet recognized as expense
in our financial statements.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

We believe that we will achieve our best
results if our employees act and are
rewarded as business owners. Therefore,
we believe stock ownership and stock-
based incentive awards are the best way to
align the interests of employees with those
of our shareholders. Historically, following
competitive market practices, we have
used stock option grants as our primary
form of long-term incentive compensation.
These grants are made at the current stock
price, meaning each employee’s exercise
price is equivalent to our stock price on
the date of grant. Employees must gener-
ally provide three additional years of serv-
ice to earn the grant, referred to as the
vesting period. Our options generally have
a 10-year term, which means our employ-
ees would have up to seven years after the

36

vesting period to elect to pay the exercise
price to purchase one share of our stock
for each option exercised. Employees bene-
fit from stock options to the extent our
stock price appreciates above the exercise
price after vesting and during the term of
the grant. There have been no reductions
to the exercise price of previously issued
awards, and any repricing of awards would
require approval of our shareholders.

We believe that we will
achieve our best results if our
employees act and are
rewarded as business owners.

The American Jobs Creation Act of
2004 (AJCA) created a one-time incentive
for U.S. corporations to repatriate undis-
tributed international earnings by providing
an 85% dividends received deduction. As
approved by our Board of Directors in July
2005, we repatriated approximately 
$7.5 billion in earnings previously consid-
ered indefinitely reinvested outside the
U.S. in the fourth quarter of 2005. In
2005, we recorded income tax expense of
$460 million associated with this repatria-
tion. Other than the earnings repatriated,
we intend to continue to reinvest earnings
outside the U.S. for the foreseeable future
and therefore have not recognized any 
U.S. tax expense on these earnings. At
December 31, 2005, we had approxi-
mately $7.5 billion of undistributed
international earnings.

In 2005, our annual tax rate for contin-

uing operations was 36.1% compared to
24.7% in 2004 as discussed in “Other
Consolidated Results.” The tax rate in
2005 increased 11.4 percentage points
primarily as a result of the AJCA tax charge
and the absence of the 2004 tax benefits
related to the favorable resolution of cer-
tain open tax items. For 2006, our annual
tax rate is expected to be 28.0%, primarily
reflecting the absence of the AJCA tax
charge and changes in our concentrate
sourcing around the world.

Our new executive compensation pro-
gram, which became effective in 2004,
strengthens the relationship between pay
and individual performance through greater
differentiation in the amount of base pay,
bonus and stock-based compensation
based on an employee’s job level and per-
formance. The new program results in a
shift of both cash and stock-based com-
pensation to our top performing executives.
In addition, our new program provides
executives, who are awarded long-term
incentives based on their performance,
with a choice of stock options or restricted
stock units (RSUs). RSU expense is based
on the fair value of PepsiCo stock on the
date of grant and is amortized over the
vesting period, generally three years. Each
restricted stock unit can be settled in a

mdav26L01P25_49v3.qxd  3/4/06  3:04 AM  Page 37

share of our stock after the vesting period.
Executives who elect RSUs receive one
RSU for every four stock options that
would have otherwise been granted. Senior
officers do not have a choice and are
granted 50% stock options and 50% RSUs.
Vesting of RSU awards for senior officers
is contingent upon the achievement of
pre-established performance targets.

We also continued, as we have since
1989, to grant an annual award of stock
options to all eligible employees, based on
job level or classification under our broad-
based stock option program, SharePower.
As part of the new compensation program
which began in 2004, the SharePower pro-
gram grant was reduced by approximately
50% for employees in the U.S. and
replaced with matching contributions of
PepsiCo stock to our 401(k) savings plans.

We did not reduce the SharePower award
for international employees and continued
using tenure, in addition to job level and
classification, as a basis for the award.
For additional information on our 401(k)
savings plans, see Note 7.

Method of Accounting
We account for our employee stock options
under the fair value method of accounting
using a Black-Scholes valuation model to
measure stock-based compensation
expense at the date of grant. We adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) 123R, Share-Based
Payment, under the modified prospective
method in the first quarter of 2006. We do
not expect our adoption of SFAS 123R to
materially impact our financial statements.

Our divisions are held accountable for
stock-based compensation expense and,
therefore, this expense is allocated to our
divisions as an incremental employee
compensation cost. The allocation of stock-
based compensation expense is 
approximately 29% to FLNA, 22% to
PBNA, 31% to PI, 4% to QFNA and 14%
to corporate unallocated expenses. The
expense allocated to our divisions excludes
any impact of changes in our Black-Scholes
assumptions during the year which reflect
market conditions over which division
management has no control. Therefore,
any variances between allocated expense
and our actual expense are recognized in
corporate unallocated expenses.

Our Assumptions
Our Black-Scholes model estimates the expected value our employees will receive 
from the options based on a number of assumptions, such as interest rates, employee 
exercises, our stock price and dividend yield. Our weighted-average fair value 
assumptions include:

Expected life
Risk free interest rate
Expected volatility
Expected dividend yield

2006 Estimated Expense and Sensitivity of Assumptions
Our stock-based compensation expense, including RSUs, is as follows:

Stock-based compensation expense

Estimated 2006
$296

2005
$311

2004
$368

If we assumed a 100 basis point change in the following assumptions, our estimated
2006 stock-based compensation expense would increase/(decrease) as follows:

Risk free interest rate
Expected volatility
Expected dividend yield

100 Basis Point Increase
$6
$2
$(9)

100 Basis Point Decrease
$(6)
$(2)
$10

The expected life is a significant

assumption as it determines the period for
which the risk free interest rate, volatility
and dividend yield must be applied. The
expected life is the period over which our
employee groups are expected to hold
their options. It is based on our historical
experience with similar grants. The risk
free interest rate is based on the expected
U.S. Treasury rate over the expected life.
Volatility reflects movements in our stock
price over the most recent historical period
equivalent to the expected life. Dividend
yield is estimated over the expected life
based on our stated dividend policy and
forecasts of net income, share repurchases
and stock price.

If the expected life were assumed to
be one year longer, our estimated 2006
stock-based compensation expense would
increase by $12 million. If the expected
life were assumed to be one year shorter,
our estimated 2006 stock-based compensa-
tion expense would decrease by $7 million.
As noted, changing the assumed expected
life impacts all of the Black-Scholes 
valuation assumptions as the risk free
interest rate, expected volatility and
expected dividend yield are estimated over
the expected life.

Pension and Retiree Medical Plans

Our assumptions reflect our historical
experience and management’s best judg-
ment regarding future expectations. Some
of these assumptions require significant
management judgment and could have a
material impact on the measurement of
our pension and retiree medical benefit
expenses and obligations. The assumptions
used to measure our annual pension and
retiree medical expenses are determined as
of September 30 (measurement date) and
all plan assets and liabilities are generally
reported as of that date.

At each measurement date, the dis-
count rate is based on interest rates for
high-quality, long-term corporate debt
securities with maturities comparable to 
our liabilities. In the U.S., we utilize the
Moody’s AA Corporate Index yield and
adjust for the differences between the aver-
age duration of the bonds in this Index and
the average duration of our benefits liabili-
ties based upon a published index.

The expected return on pension plan
assets is based on our historical experi-
ence, our pension plan investment strategy
and our expectations for long-term rates of
return. Our pension plan investment strat-
egy is reviewed annually and is based upon
plan liabilities, an evaluation of market
conditions, tolerance for risk, and cash
requirements for benefit payments. We use
a third-party advisor to assist us in deter-
mining our investment allocation and mod-
eling our long-term rate of return

assumptions. Our current investment allo-
cation target for our U.S. plans is 60% in
equity securities, with the balance in fixed
income securities and cash. Our expected
long-term rate of return assumptions on
U.S. plan assets is 7.8%, reflecting an
estimated long-term return of 9.3% from
equity securities and an estimated 5.8%
from fixed income securities. Approximately
80% of our pension plan assets relate to
our U.S. plans. We use a market-related
value method that recognizes each year’s
asset gain or loss over a five-year period.
Therefore, it takes five years for the gain or
loss from any one year to be fully included
in the other gains and losses calculation
described below.

Other gains and losses resulting from

actual experience differing from our
assumptions and from changes in our
assumptions are also determined at each
measurement date. If this net accumulated
gain or loss exceeds 10% of the greater of
plan assets or liabilities, a portion of the
net gain or loss is included in expense for
the following year. The cost or benefit of
plan changes which increase or decrease
benefits for prior employee service (prior
service cost) is included in expense on a
straight-line basis over the average remain-
ing service period of those expected to
benefit, which is approximately 11 years
for pension expense and approximately 
13 years for retiree medical.

Our pension plans cover full-time employ-
ees in the U.S. and certain international
employees. Benefits are determined based
on either years of service or a combination
of years of service and earnings. U.S. retirees
are also eligible for medical and life insur-
ance benefits (retiree medical) if they meet
age and service requirements. Generally,
our share of retiree medical costs is capped
at specified dollar amounts that vary 
based upon years of service, with retirees
contributing the remainder of the cost.

Our Assumptions
The determination of pension and retiree
medical plan obligations and associated
expenses requires the use of assumptions
to estimate the amount of the benefits that
employees earn while working, as well as
the present value of those benefits. Annual
pension and retiree medical expense

The discount rate is based on
interest rates for high-quality,
long-term corporate debt
securities with maturities
comparable to our liabilities. 

amounts are principally based on four
components: (1) the value of benefits
earned by employees for working during
the year (service cost), (2) increase in the
liability due to the passage of time (inter-
est cost), and (3) other gains and losses as
discussed below, reduced by (4) expected
return on plan assets for our funded plans.
Significant assumptions used to meas-
ure our annual pension and retiree medical
expense include:

• the interest rate used to determine the

Weighted-average assumptions for pension and retiree medical expense are the following:

present value of liabilities (discount rate);

• certain employee-related factors, such as
turnover, retirement age and mortality;

• for pension expense, the expected return
on assets in our funded plans and the
rate of salary increases for plans where
benefits are based on earnings; and

• for retiree medical expense, health care

cost trend rates.

See Note 7 regarding the sensitivity of our

Future Funding
We make contributions to pension trusts
maintained to provide plan benefits for
certain pension plans. These contributions
are made in accordance with applicable
tax regulations that provide for current tax
deductions for our contributions, and taxa-
tion to the employee only upon receipt of
plan benefits. Generally, we do not fund
our pension plans when our contributions
would not be currently deductible.

Our pension contributions for 2005
were $803 million, of which $729 million
was discretionary. In 2006, we expect
contributions to be about $250 million
with approximately $200 million expected
to be discretionary. Our cash payments for
retiree medical are estimated to be 
$85 million in 2006. As our retiree medical
plans are not subject to regulatory funding
requirements, we fund these plans on 
a pay-as-you-go basis. For estimated
future benefit payments, including our 
pay-as-you-go payments as well as those
from trusts, see Note 7.

Future Expense
An analysis of the estimated change in pension and retiree medical expense follows:

Pension

Retiree Medical

2005 expense
Decrease in discount rate
Increase in experience loss/(gain) amortization
Impact of contributions
Other, including impact of 2003 Medicare Act
2006 estimated expense

Our 2006 pension expense is estimated

to be approximately $405 million and
retiree medical expense is estimated to be
approximately $126 million. These esti-
mates incorporate the 2006 assumptions,
as well as the impact of the increased
pension plan assets resulting from our
discretionary contributions of $729 million
in 2005 and the impact of the Medicare
Prescription Drug, Improvement and
Modernization Act of 2003 (Medicare Act)
as discussed in Note 7. Changes in our
2006 assumptions include updates to the
lump sum discount rate for the U.S. plans
and to the mortality tables for certain
international plans. The estimated increase
of $69 million in net experience loss
amortization included in estimated 2006
pension expense primarily reflects the
recognition of lower than expected returns
and past asset losses, which account for
approximately $36 million of the increase,
as well as assumption changes and
demographic experience, which account for
approximately $20 million of the increase.
Pension service costs, measured at a
fixed discount rate but including the effect
of demographic assumption changes, as
well as the effects of gains and losses due
to demographics, are reflected in division
results. The effect of changes in discount
and asset return rates, gains and losses
other than those due to demographics, and
the impact of funding are reflected in cor-
porate unallocated expenses. Approximately
$26 million of the increased pension and
retiree medical expense in 2006 will be
reflected in corporate unallocated expenses.

Based on our current assumptions
which reflect our prior experience, current
plan provisions, and expectations for future
experience, and assuming the Board
approves annual discretionary contributions
of approximately $200 million, we expect
our pension expense to remain relatively
flat in 2007. In 2008, we expect our
pension expense to begin to decline, with
the expense dropping to approximately 
$305 million by 2011 as unrecognized
experience losses are amortized. If our
assumptions and our plan provisions for
retiree medical remain unchanged and our

Our 2006 pension expense 
is estimated to be
approximately $405 million
and retiree medical expense
is estimated to be
approximately $126 million.

experience mirrors these assumptions, we
expect our annual retiree medical expense
beyond 2006 to approximate $130 million.

Sensitivity of Assumptions
A decrease in the discount rate or in the
expected rate of return assumptions would
increase pension expense. The estimated
impact of a 25 basis point decrease in the
discount rate on 2006 pension expense is
an increase of approximately $39 million.
The estimated impact on 2006 pension
expense of a 25 basis point decrease in
the expected rate of return assumption is

productivity program. Savings from this
productivity program have been used to
offset increased marketplace spending.

AJCA Tax Charge
As approved by our Board of Directors in
July 2005, in the fourth quarter of 2005
we repatriated approximately $7.5 billion
in earnings previously considered indefinitely
reinvested outside the U.S. in connection
with the AJCA. In 2005, we recorded
income tax expense of $460 million
associated with this repatriation.

53rd week
In 2005, we had an additional week of
results (53rd week). Our fiscal year ends
on the last Saturday of each December,
resulting in an additional week of results
every five or six years.

2005 Restructuring Charges
In the fourth quarter of 2005, we incurred
restructuring charges of $83 million to
reduce costs in our operations, principally
through headcount reductions.

2004 Restructuring and Impairment Charges
In the fourth quarter of 2004, we incurred
restructuring and impairment charges of
$150 million in conjunction with the
consolidation of FLNA’s manufacturing
network in connection with its ongoing

Net Tax Benefits — Continuing Operations
In the fourth quarter of 2004, we recog-
nized $45 million of tax benefits related to
the completion of the U.S. Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) audit for pre-merger
Quaker open tax years. In the third quarter
of 2004, we recognized $221 million of
tax benefits related to a reduction in for-
eign tax accruals following the resolution
of certain open tax issues with foreign tax
authorities, and a refund claim related to
prior U.S. tax settlements.

Tax Benefit from Discontinued Operations
In the fourth quarter of 2004, we reached
agreement with the IRS for an open issue
related to our discontinued restaurant
operations which resulted in a tax benefit
of $38 million.

Results of Continuing Operations — Consolidated Review

In the discussions of net revenue
and operating profit below, effective
net pricing reflects the year-over-
year impact of discrete pricing
actions, sales incentive activities
and mix resulting from selling vary-
ing products in different package
sizes and in different countries.

Servings
Since our divisions each use different
measures of physical unit volume (i.e.,
kilos, pounds and case sales), a common
servings metric is necessary to reflect our
consolidated physical unit volume. Our
divisions’ physical volume measures are
converted into servings based on U.S. Food
and Drug Administration guidelines for 
single-serving sizes of our products.

Total servings increased 7% in 2005
compared to 2004 as servings for bever-
ages worldwide grew over 7% and servings
for snacks worldwide grew 6%. All of our
divisions positively contributed to the total
servings growth. Total servings increased
6% in 2004 compared to 2003 as servings
for beverages worldwide grew 7% and serv-
ings for snacks worldwide grew over 5%.

Net Revenue and Operating Profit

2005
Net revenue increased 11% reflecting,
across all divisions, increased volume,
favorable effective net pricing, and net
favorable foreign currency movements.
The volume gains contributed 6 percentage
points, the effective net pricing contributed
3 percentage points and the net favorable
foreign currency movements contributed
over 1 percentage point. The 53rd week
contributed over 1 percentage point to
revenue growth and almost 1 percentage
point to volume growth.

Total operating profit increased 13%

and margin increased 0.2 percentage
points. Division operating profit increased
10% and margin decreased 0.2 percentage
points. The operating profit gains primarily
reflect leverage from the revenue growth,
partially offset by higher selling and distri-
bution (S&D) expenses and increased cost
of sales, largely due to higher raw materials,
energy, and S&D labor costs, as well as
higher advertising and marketing expenses.
In 2005, division operating profit margin
reflects our current year restructuring
actions, while total operating profit margin
benefited from a favorable comparison to
prior year restructuring and impairment
charges. The additional week in 2005
contributed over 1 percentage point to
both total and division operating profit
growth.

2004
Division net revenue increased 8%, prima-
rily due to strong volume gains across all
divisions, favorable product mix, primarily

currency movements. The volume gains
contributed over 4 percentage points, the
favorable mix contributed almost 2 percent-
age points, and the net favorable foreign
currency contributed almost 2 percentage
points to division net revenue growth.

Total operating profit increased 10%

and margin increased 0.3 percentage
points. Division operating profit increased
12% and division margin increased 
0.5 percentage points. These gains reflect
leverage from the revenue growth, partially
offset by increased selling, general and
administrative expenses, primarily corpo-
rate unallocated expenses. In addition,
total operating profit growth reflects the
absence of merger-related costs in 2004.

Corporate Unallocated Expenses
Corporate unallocated expenses include
the costs of our corporate headquarters,
centrally managed initiatives such as our

BPT initiative, unallocated insurance and
benefit programs, foreign exchange trans-
action and certain commodity derivative
gains and losses, as well as profit-in-inven-
tory elimination adjustments for our
noncontrolled bottling affiliates and certain
other items.

In 2005, corporate unallocated
expenses increased 14%. This increase
primarily reflects higher costs associated
with our BPT initiative which contributed 
7 percentage points, increased support
behind health and wellness and innovation
initiatives which contributed 5 percentage
points, and Corporate departmental
expenses and restructuring charges which
each contributed 2 percentage points to
the increase. In 2005, items of a non-
recurring nature included charges of 
$55 million to conform our method of
accounting across all divisions, primarily
for warehouse and freight costs, and a
gain of $25 million in connection with the

41

mdav26L01P25_49v2.qxd  3/1/06  11:17 PM  Page 42

settlement of a class action lawsuit related
to our purchases of high fructose corn
syrup from 1991 to 1995. In 2004, we
recorded a charge of $50 million for the
settlement of a contractual dispute with a
former business partner.

In 2004, corporate unallocated expenses

increased 38%. Higher employee-related
costs contributed 18 percentage points of
the increase, an accrual recognized in the
fourth quarter for the settlement of a
contractual dispute with a former 

business partner represented 10 percent-
age points of the increase and higher costs
related to our BPT initiative contributed 
4 percentage points of the increase.
Corporate departmental expenses increased
2% compared to prior year.

Other Consolidated Results

Bottling equity income includes our share
of the net income or loss of our noncon-
trolled bottling affiliates as described in
“Our Customers.” Our interest in these
bottling investments may change from time
to time. Any gains or losses from these
changes, as well as other transactions
related to our bottling investments, are
also included on a pre-tax basis. We con-
tinue to sell shares of PBG stock to trim
our ownership to the level at the time of
PBG’s initial public offering, since our
ownership has increased as a result of
PBG’s share repurchase program. During
2005, we sold 7.5 million shares of PBG
stock. The resulting lower ownership per-
centage reduces the equity income from
PBG that we recognize.

2005
Bottling equity income increased 46%
reflecting $126 million of pre-tax gains 
on our sales of PBG stock, as well as
stronger bottler results. In the first quarter
of 2006, PBG and PAS adopted SFAS
123R which will negatively impact our 
bottling equity income.

Net interest expense increased 4%
reflecting the impact of higher debt levels,
substantially offset by higher investment
rates and cash balances.

The tax rate increased 11.4 percentage

points reflecting the $460 million tax
charge related to our repatriation of undis-
tributed international earnings, as well as
the absence of income tax benefits of
$266 million recorded in the prior year
related to a reduction in foreign tax accru-
als following the resolution of certain open
tax items with foreign tax authorities and a

The offsetting increase in deferred com-
pensation costs is reported in corporate
unallocated expenses.

The annual tax rate decreased 3.8 per-
centage points compared to the prior year,
primarily as a result of tax benefits from
the resolution of open items with tax
authorities in both years, as discussed in
“Items Affecting Comparability.” The tax
benefits reduced our tax rate by 2.6 per-
centage points. Increased benefit from
concentrate operations and favorable
changes arising from agreements with the
IRS in the fourth quarter of 2003 also
contributed to the decline in rate.

Net income from continuing operations
increased 17% and the related net income
per common share from continuing opera-
tions increased 18%. These increases
primarily reflect the solid operating profit
growth and our lower annual tax rate. The
absence of merger-related costs in 2004
and increased bottling equity income also
contributed to the growth.

tlements. This increase was partially offset
by increased international profit which is
taxed at a lower rate.

operations decreased 1%. These decreases

above, partially offset by our operating

income, which includes the gain on our
PBG stock sale, the impact of the 53rd
week, a favorable comparison to prior year
restructuring and impairment charges, and
for net income per share, the impact of our
share repurchases.

2004
Bottling equity income increased 18%, 
primarily reflecting increased earnings
from our anchor bottlers and favorable
comparisons from international bottling
investments, primarily as a result of the
nationwide strike in Venezuela in early 2003.
Net interest expense declined 17% pri-

marily due to favorable interest rates and
higher average cash balances, partially
offset by higher average debt balances and
lower gains in the market value of invest-
ments used to economically hedge a por-
tion of our deferred compensation liability.

Frito-Lay North America

Net revenue
Operating profit

2005
Net revenue grew 8% reflecting volume
growth of 4.5% and positive effective net
pricing driven by salty snack pricing
actions and favorable mix on both salty
and convenience foods products. Pound
volume grew primarily due to mid single-
digit growth in trademark Lay’s potato
chips, high single-digit growth in salty
trademark Tostitos, double-digit growth in
Santitas, mid single-digit growth in trade-
mark Cheetos, high single-digit growth in
Dips and Fritos, and double-digit growth in
Sun Chips. These gains were partially offset
by the discontinuance of Toastables and
Doritos Rollitos. Overall, salty snacks rev-
enue grew 8% with volume growth of 5%,
and convenience foods products revenue
grew 13% with volume growth of 1%.
Convenience foods products revenue 
benefited from favorable mix. The additional
week contributed 2 percentage points to
volume and net revenue growth.

Operating profit grew 6% reflecting
positive effective net pricing actions and
volume growth. This growth was offset by

higher S&D costs resulting from increased

higher cost of sales, driven by raw materi-
als, natural gas and freight; and increased
advertising and marketing costs. Operating

of fourth quarter charges to reduce costs in
our operations, principally through head-
count reductions. The additional week con-
tributed 2 percentage points to operating
profit growth.

Products qualifying for our new Smart
Spot program represented approximately
13% of net revenue. These products expe-
rienced double-digit revenue growth, while
the balance of the portfolio had high sin-
gle-digit revenue growth. See our website
at www.smartspot.com for additional
information on our Smart Spot program.

2004
Net revenue grew 5% reflecting volume
growth of 3% and positive effective net
pricing due to salty snack pricing actions
and favorable mix. Pound volume grew
primarily due to new products, single-digit
growth in Lay’s Classic potato chips, strong
double-digit growth in Variety Pack and mid
single-digit growth in Tostitos and Fried
Cheetos. Lay’s Stax and Doritos Rollitos led
the new product growth. These gains were
partially offset by single-digit declines in
Doritos and Fritos and double-digit declines
in Rold Gold and Quaker Toastables.

Operating profit grew nearly 7% reflect-
ing the positive pricing actions and volume
growth. Higher commodity costs, driven
by corn oil and energy costs were largely
offset by cost leverage generated from
ongoing productivity initiatives.

Smart Spot eligible products repre-
sented approximately 10% of 2004 FLNA
net revenue. These products experienced
high single-digit revenue growth and the
balance of the portfolio had mid single-
digit revenue growth.

PepsiCo Beverages North America

Net revenue
Operating profit

2005
Net revenue grew 10% and volume grew
4%. The volume increase was driven by a
16% increase in non-carbonated bever-
ages, partially offset by a 1% decline in
CSDs. Within non-carbonated beverages,
Gatorade, Trademark Aquafina, Tropicana
juice drinks, Propel and SoBe all experi-
enced double-digit growth. Above average
summer temperatures across the country,
as well as the launch of new products such
as Aquafina FlavorSplash and Gatorade
Lemonade earlier in the year, drove
Gatorade and Trademark Aquafina growth.

increases taken in the first quarter. The
decline in CSDs reflects low single-digit
declines in Trademark Pepsi and Trademark
Mountain Dew, slightly offset by low single-
digit growth in Sierra Mist. Across the
brands, a low single-digit decline in regular
CSDs was partially offset by low single-digit
growth in diet CSDs. The additional week
in 2005 had no significant impact on vol-
ume growth as bottler volume is reported
based on a calendar month.

Net revenue also benefited from 5 per-

centage points of favorable effective net
pricing, reflecting the continued migration
from CSDs to non-carbonated beverages
and price increases taken in the first quar-
ter, primarily on concentrate and Tropicana
Pure Premium, partially offset by increased
trade spending in the current year. The
additional week in 2005 contributed 
1 percentage point to net revenue growth.
Operating profit increased nearly 7%,

primarily reflecting net revenue growth.
This increase was partially offset by higher
raw material, energy, and transportation
costs, as well as increased advertising and
marketing expenses. The additional week
in 2005 contributed 1 percentage point to
operating profit growth and was fully offset
by a 1 percentage point decline related to
charges taken in the fourth quarter of
2005 to reduce costs in our operations,
principally through headcount reductions.
Smart Spot eligible products repre-
sented almost 70% of net revenue. These
products experienced double-digit revenue
growth, while the balance of the portfolio
grew in the low single-digit range.

2004
Net revenue increased 7% and volume
increased 3%. The volume increase
reflects non-carbonated beverage growth of
10% and a slight increase in CSDs. The
non-carbonated beverage growth was
fueled by double-digit growth in Gatorade,
Aquafina and Propel, as well as the intro-
duction of bottler-distributed Tropicana
juice drinks. Tropicana Pure Premium

increased slightly for the year. The carbon-
ated soft drink performance reflects a low
single-digit increase in Trademark
Mountain Dew and a slight increase in
Trademark Sierra Mist, offset by a slight
decline in Trademark Pepsi. Across the
trademarks, high single-digit diet CSD
growth was substantially offset by a low
single-digit decline in regular CSDs. The
increase in Trademark Mountain Dew
reflects growth in both Diet and regular
Mountain Dew and the limited time only
offering of Mountain Dew Pitch Black,
substantially offset by declines in both
Mountain Dew Code Red and LiveWire.
The performance of Trademark Pepsi reflects
declines in regular Pepsi, Pepsi Twist and
Pepsi Blue, mostly offset by increases in
Diet Pepsi and the introduction of Pepsi
Edge. Favorable product mix contributed 
3 percentage points to net revenue
growth, primarily reflecting a migration to
non-carbonated beverages. Additionally,
concentrate and fountain price increases
taken in the first quarter contributed
1 percentage point to net revenue growth.
Operating profit increased 13% reflect-
ing the net revenue growth, partially offset
by higher selling, general and administra-
tive costs, as well as costs related to
marketplace initiatives.

Smart Spot eligible products represented

over 60% of net revenue. These products
experienced high single-digit revenue
growth, and the balance of the portfolio
had mid single-digit revenue growth.

single-digit growth at Gamesa in Mexico
coupled with double-digit growth in Egypt,
Venezuela, Turkey and Brazil.

Beverage volume grew 12%, comprised

of 14% in our Europe, Middle East &
Africa region, 15% in our Asia Pacific
region and 8% in our Latin America region.
Broad-based increases were led by double-
digit growth in the Middle East and China,
high single-digit growth in Mexico and dou-
ble-digit growth in India, Germany, Russia
and Venezuela. Favorable comparisons as a
result of the 2003 national strike in
Venezuela and the German deposit law
impact contributed to the growth in
Venezuela and Germany. Both carbonated
soft drinks and non-carbonated beverages
grew at double-digit rates.

Net revenue grew 14% driven by the
broad-based volume growth and favorable
mix. Foreign currency impact contributed 
4 percentage points of growth driven by
the favorable British pound and euro, 
partially offset by the unfavorable Mexican
peso. Acquisitions contributed less than 
1 percentage point.

Operating profit grew 25% driven
largely by the volume and favorable mix.
The favorable comparison of certain
reserve actions taken in 2003 on poten-
tially unrecoverable beverage assets 
contributed 2 percentage points of growth.
Foreign currency impact contributed

Acquisitions and divestitures contributed
almost 2 percentage points of growth. The
additional week contributed 1 percentage
point to revenue growth. Cumulatively, the
impact of foreign currency, acquisitions
and divestitures, and the additional week
on net revenue was 5 percentage points.
Operating profit grew 21% driven
largely by the broad-based volume growth
and favorable effective net pricing, 
partially offset by increased energy and
raw material costs. Foreign currency
contributed 4 percentage points of growth
based on the favorable Mexican peso and
Brazilian real. The net favorable impact
from acquisition and divestiture activity,

minority interest in Snack Ventures Europe
in Q1 2005, contributed 2 percentage

charges to reduce costs in our operations
and rationalize capacity.

2004
International snacks volume grew 8%,
comprised of 7% in our Latin America
region, 8% in our Europe, Middle East &

International snacks volume grew 7%,
reflecting growth of 11% in the Europe,

Latin America region and 6% in the Asia
Pacific region. Acquisition and divestiture
activity, principally the divestiture last 
year of our interest in a South Korea joint
venture, reduced Asia region volume by
11 percentage points. The acquisition of 
a business in Romania late in 2004
increased the Europe, Middle East & Africa
region volume growth by 3 percentage
points. Cumulatively, our divestiture and
acquisition activities did not impact the
reported total PepsiCo International snack
volume growth rate. The overall gains
reflected mid single-digit growth at
Sabritas in Mexico, double-digit growth in
India, Turkey, Russia, Australia and China,
partially offset by a low single-digit decline
at Walkers in the United Kingdom. The
decline at Walkers is due principally to
marketplace pressures. The additional
week contributed 1 percentage point to
international snack volume growth.

Beverage volume grew 11%, reflecting
growth of 14% in the Europe, Middle East
& Africa region, 11% in the Asia Pacific
region and 6% in the Latin America region.
Acquisitions had no significant impact on
the reported total PepsiCo International
beverage volume growth rate. Broad-based
increases were led by double-digit growth
in the Middle East, China, Argentina,
Venezuela and Russia. Carbonated soft
drinks and non-carbonated beverages both
grew at a double-digit rate. The additional
week had no impact on beverage volume
growth as volume is reported based on a
calendar month.

Net revenue grew 15%, primarily as a
result of the broad-based volume growth
and favorable effective net pricing. Foreign
currency contributed almost 3 percentage

2005
Net revenue increased 13% and volume
increased 9%. The volume increase
reflects double-digit growth in Oatmeal,
Aunt Jemima syrup and mix, Rice-A-Roni
and Pasta Roni, as well as high single-digit
growth in Cap’n Crunch cereal and mid
single-digit growth in Life cereal. Higher
effective net pricing contributed nearly 
3 percentage points of growth reflecting
favorable product mix, the settlement of
prior year trade spending accruals and
price increases on ready-to-eat cereals
taken in the third quarter of 2004.
Favorable Canadian exchange rates 
contributed nearly 1 percentage point to
net revenue growth. The additional week
in 2005 contributed approximately 
2 percentage points to both net revenue
and volume growth.

Operating profit increased 13% reflect-

ing the net revenue growth. This growth
was partially offset by higher advertising
and marketing costs behind programs for
core brands and innovation, as well as an
unfavorable cost of sales comparison

Our Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Position

Our strong cash-generating capability and financial
condition give us ready access to capital markets
throughout the world. Our principal source of liquidity
is our operating cash flow. This cash-generating 
capability is one of our fundamental strengths and 
provides us with substantial financial flexibility in
meeting operating, investing and financing needs. 
In addition, we have revolving credit facilities that 
are further discussed in Note 9. Our cash provided
from operating activities is somewhat impacted by
seasonality. Working capital needs are impacted by
weekly sales, which are generally highest in the third
quarter due to seasonal and holiday-related sales 
patterns, and generally lowest in the first quarter.

gram, we have repurchased $5.1 billion of
shares, leaving $1.9 billion of remaining
authorization. We target an annual divi-
dend payout of approximately 45% of prior
year’s net income from continuing opera-
tions. Each spring we review our capital
structure with our Board, including our div-
idend policy and share repurchase activity.

Management Operating Cash Flow
We focus on management operating 
cash flow as a key element in achieving
maximum shareholder value, and it is the
primary measure we use to monitor cash
flow performance. However, it is not 
a measure provided by accounting principles
generally accepted in the U.S. Since net
capital spending is essential to our product
innovation initiatives and maintaining our
operational capabilities, we believe that it
is a recurring and necessary use of cash.
As such, we believe investors should also
consider net capital spending when evalu-
ating our cash from operating activities. 

Operating Activities
In 2005, our operations provided $5.9
billion of cash compared to $5.1 billion in
the prior year. The increase reflects our
solid business results, as well as lower
taxes paid in the current year as 2004 tax
payments included a $760 million tax
payment related to our 2003 settlement
with the IRS. This increase was partially
offset by $803 million of pension plan
contributions in the current year, of which
$729 million was discretionary, compared
to pension payments of $458 million in
the prior year, of which $400 million was
discretionary.

Investing Activities
In 2005, we used $3.5 billion, primarily
reflecting capital spending of $1.7 billion,
acquisitions of $1.1 billion, primarily the
$750 million acquisition of General Mills’
minority interest in Snack Ventures Europe,
and net purchases of short-term invest-
ments of $1.0 billion. These amounts were
partially offset by the proceeds from our
sale of PBG stock of $214 million. In
2004, we used $2.3 billion for investing,
primarily reflecting capital spending of
$1.4 billion and short-term investments of
almost $1.0 billion.

In the first quarter of 2006, we com-
pleted our acquisition of Stacy’s Pita Chip
Company which was funded with existing
domestic cash. This acquisition will be

included in the first quarter of 2006 as
an investing activity in our Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

We anticipate net capital spending of
approximately $2.2 billion in 2006, which
is above our long-term target of approxi-
mately 5% of net revenue. Planned capital
spending in 2006 includes increased
investments in manufacturing capacity to
support growth in our China snack and
beverage operations and our North
American Gatorade business, as well as
increased investment in support of our
ongoing BPT initiative. We expect capital
spending to return to our long-term targeted
rate following 2006.

Financing Activities
In 2005, we used $1.9 billion, primarily
reflecting common share repurchases of
$3.0 billion and dividend payments of
$1.6 billion, partially offset by net
proceeds from short-term borrowings of 
$1.8 billion and stock option proceeds of
$1.1 billion. This compares to $2.3 billion
used for financing in 2004, primarily
reflecting share repurchases at a cost of
$3.0 billion and dividend payments of
$1.3 billion, partially offset by net
issuances of short-term borrowings of 
$1.1 billion and proceeds from exercises
of stock options of nearly $1.0 billion.

In 2004, our Board of Directors author-

ized a new $7.0 billion share repurchase
program. Since inception of the new pro-

Management operating cash flow

Management operating cash flow was
used primarily to repurchase shares and pay
dividends. We expect to continue to return
approximately all of our management
operating cash flow to our shareholders
through dividends and share repurchases.
However, see “Our Business Risks” for
certain factors that may impact our operating
cash flows.

Credit Ratings
Our debt ratings of Aa3 from Moody’s and
A+ from Standard & Poor’s contribute to
our ability to access global capital markets.
We have maintained strong investment
grade ratings for over a decade. Our Moody’s
rating reflects an upgrade from A1 to
Aa3 in 2004 due to the strength of our
balance sheet and cash flows. Each rating
is considered strong investment grade and
is in the first quartile of their respective

Significant changes in our Consolidated

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
It is not our business practice to enter
into off-balance sheet arrangements, other
than in the normal course of business, nor
is it our policy to issue guarantees to our
bottlers, noncontrolled affiliates or third
parties. However, certain guarantees were
necessary to facilitate the separation of our
bottling and restaurant operations from us.
As of year-end 2005, we believe it is remote

• Other assets increased primarily reflect-
ing our increased pension contributions
in the current year.

• Income taxes payable increased primarily
reflecting $460 million of taxes accrued
related to our repatriation of interna-
tional earnings in connection with the
AJCA to be paid in the first quarter of
2006.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 — Basis of Presentation and Our Divisions

Basis of Presentation
Our financial statements include the con-
solidated accounts of PepsiCo, Inc. and
the affiliates that we control. In addition,
we include our share of the results of cer-
tain other affiliates based on our economic
ownership interest. We do not control these
other affiliates, as our ownership in these
other affiliates is generally less than 50%.
Our share of the net income of noncon-
trolled bottling affiliates is reported in our
income statement as bottling equity
income. Bottling equity income also
includes any changes in our ownership
interests of these affiliates. In 2005, bot-
tling equity income includes $126 million
of pre-tax gains on our sales of PBG stock.
See Note 8 for additional information on
our noncontrolled bottling affiliates. Our
share of other noncontrolled affiliates is
included in division operating profit.
Intercompany balances and transactions
are eliminated. In 2005, we had an addi-
tional week of results (53rd week). Our 
fiscal year ends on the last Saturday of
each December, resulting in an additional
week of results every five or six years.

Our Divisions
We manufacture or use contract manufac-
turers, market and sell a variety of salty,
sweet and grain-based snacks, carbonated
and non-carbonated beverages, and foods
through our North American and interna-
tional business divisions. Our North
American divisions include the United
States and Canada. The accounting poli-
cies for the divisions are the same as those
described in Note 2, except for certain
allocation methodologies for stock-based
compensation expense and pension and
retiree medical expense, as described in
the unaudited information in “Our Critical
Accounting Policies.” Additionally, begin-

54

In connection with our ongoing BPT 
initiative, we aligned certain accounting
policies across our divisions in 2005. We
conformed our methodology for calculating
our bad debt reserves and modified our
policy for recognizing revenue for products
shipped to customers by third-party 
carriers. Additionally, we conformed our
method of accounting for certain costs, 
primarily warehouse and freight. These
changes reduced our net revenue by 
$36 million and our operating profit by
$60 million in 2005. We also made certain
reclassifications on our Consolidated
Statement of Income in the fourth quarter
of 2005 from cost of sales to selling, 
general and administrative expenses in
connection with our BPT initiative. These
reclassifications resulted in reductions to
cost of sales of $556 million through the
third quarter of 2005, $732 million in the
full year 2004 and $688 million in the full
year 2003, with corresponding increases to
selling, general and administrative
expenses in those periods. These reclassifi-
cations had no net impact on operating
profit and have been made to all periods
presented for comparability.

The preparation of our consolidated
financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles
requires us to make estimates and
assumptions that affect reported amounts
of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses
and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities. Estimates are used in determin-
ing, among other items, sales incentives
accruals, future cash flows associated with
impairment testing for perpetual brands
and goodwill, useful lives for intangible
assets, tax reserves, stock-based compen-
sation and pension and retiree medical
accruals. Actual results could differ from
these estimates.

See “Our Divisions” below and for 

additional unaudited information on items
affecting the comparability of our 
consolidated results, see “Items Affecting
Comparability” in Management’s
Discussion and Analysis.

Tabular dollars are in millions, except per

share amounts. All per share amounts
reflect common per share amounts, assume
dilution unless noted, and are based on
unrounded amounts. Certain reclassifica-
tions were made to prior years’ amounts to
conform to the 2005 presentation.

ning in the fourth quarter of 2005, we
began centrally managing commodity
derivatives on behalf of our divisions.
Certain of the commodity derivatives, 
primarily those related to the purchase of
energy for use by our divisions, do not
qualify for hedge accounting treatment.
These derivatives hedge underlying com-
modity price risk and were not entered into
for speculative purposes. Such derivatives
are marked to market with the resulting
gains and losses recognized as a compo-
nent of corporate unallocated expense.
These gains and losses are reflected in
division results when the divisions take

delivery of the underlying commodity.
Therefore, division results reflect the 
contract purchase price of the energy or
other commodities.

Division results are based on how our

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer 
evaluates our divisions. Division results
exclude certain Corporate-initiated restruc-
turing and impairment charges, merger-
related costs and divested businesses. 
For additional unaudited information on
our divisions, see “Our Operations” in
Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Note 2 — Our Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue upon shipment or
delivery to our customers based on written
sales terms that do not allow for a right of
return. However, our policy for direct-store-
delivery (DSD) and chilled products is to
remove and replace damaged and out-of-
date products from store shelves to ensure
that our consumers receive the product
quality and freshness that they expect.
Similarly, our policy for warehouse distrib-
uted products is to replace damaged and
out-of-date products. Based on our histori-
cal experience with this practice, we have
reserved for anticipated damaged and out-
of-date products. For additional unaudited
information on our revenue recognition and
related policies, including our policy on
bad debts, see “Our Critical Accounting
Policies” in Management’s Discussion and
Analysis. We are exposed to concentration
of credit risk by our customers, Wal-Mart
and PBG. Wal-Mart represents approxi-
mately 9% of our net revenue, including
concentrate sales to our bottlers which are
used in finished goods sold by them to
Wal-Mart; and PBG represents approxi-
mately 10%. We have not experienced
credit issues with these customers.

Sales Incentives and Other Marketplace
Spending
We offer sales incentives and discounts
through various programs to our customers
and consumers. Sales incentives and dis-
counts are accounted for as a reduction of
revenue and totaled $8.9 billion in 2005,
$7.8 billion in 2004 and $7.1 billion in
2003. While most of these incentive
arrangements have terms of no more than
one year, certain arrangements extend
beyond one year. For example, fountain
pouring rights may extend up to 15 years.
Costs incurred to obtain these arrange-
ments are recognized over the contract
period and the remaining balances of
$321 million at December 31, 2005 and
$337 million at December 25, 2004 are
included in current assets and other assets
in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. For
additional unaudited information on our

sales incentives, see “Our Critical
Accounting Policies” in Management’s
Discussion and Analysis.

Other marketplace spending includes the

costs of advertising and other marketing
activities and is reported as selling, general
and administrative expenses. Advertising
expenses were $1.8 billion in 2005, 
$1.7 billion in 2004 and $1.6 billion in
2003. Deferred advertising costs are not
expensed until the year first used and 
consist of:
• media and personal service prepayments,
• promotional materials in inventory, and
• production costs of future media 

advertising.
Deferred advertising costs of $202 mil-

lion and $137 million at year-end 2005
and 2004, respectively, are classified as
prepaid expenses in our Consolidated
Balance Sheet.

Distribution Costs
Distribution costs, including the costs of
shipping and handling activities, are
reported as selling, general and administra-
tive expenses. Shipping and handling
expenses were $4.1 billion in 2005, 
$3.9 billion in 2004 and $3.6 billion 
in 2003.

Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents are investments with 
original maturities of three months or less
which we do not intend to rollover beyond
three months.

Software Costs
We capitalize certain computer software
and software development costs incurred
in connection with developing or obtaining
computer software for internal use.
Capitalized software costs are included in
property, plant and equipment on our
Consolidated Balance Sheet and amortized
on a straight-line basis over the estimated
useful lives of the software, which gener-
ally do not exceed 5 years. Net capitalized
software and development costs were
$327 million at December 31, 2005 and
$181 million at December 25, 2004.

Commitments and Contingencies
We are subject to various claims and 
contingencies related to lawsuits, taxes
and environmental matters, as well as
commitments under contractual and other
commercial obligations. We recognize lia-
bilities for contingencies and commitments
when a loss is probable and estimable. For
additional information on our commit-
ments, see Note 9.

Other Significant Accounting Policies
Our other significant accounting policies
are disclosed as follows:
• Property, Plant and Equipment and
Intangible Assets — Note 4 and, for
additional unaudited information on
brands and goodwill, see “Our Critical
Accounting Policies” in Management’s
Discussion and Analysis.

• Income Taxes — Note 5 and, for addi-
tional unaudited information, see “Our

Accounting Policies” in Management’s
Discussion and Analysis.

• Risk Management — Note 10 and, for
additional unaudited information, see
“Our Business Risks” in Management’s

There have been no new accounting 
pronouncements issued or effective during
2005 that have had, or are expected to
have, a material impact on our consoli-
dated financial statements.

Note 3 — Restructuring and Impairment Charges and Merger-Related Costs

2005 Restructuring Charges
In the fourth quarter of 2005, we incurred
a charge of $83 million ($55 million after-
tax or $0.03 per share) in conjunction with
actions taken to reduce costs in our opera-
tions, principally through headcount reduc-
tions. Of this charge, $34 million related
to FLNA, $21 million to PBNA, $16 
million to PI and $12 million to Corporate
(recorded in corporate unallocated
expenses). Most of this charge related to
the termination of approximately 700
employees. We expect the substantial 
portion of the cash payments related to
this charge to be paid in 2006.

2004 and 2003 Restructuring and
Impairment Charges
In the fourth quarter of 2004, we incurred
a charge of $150 million ($96 million
after-tax or $0.06 per share) in conjunc-
tion with the consolidation of FLNA’s 
manufacturing network as part of its ongo-
ing productivity program. Of this charge,

$93 million related to asset impairment, 
primarily reflecting the closure of four U.S.
plants. Production from these plants was
redeployed to other FLNA facilities in the
U.S. The remaining $57 million included
employee-related costs of $29 million,
contract termination costs of $8 million
and other exit costs of $20 million.
Employee-related costs primarily reflect
the termination costs for approximately
700 employees. Through December 31,
2005, we have paid $47 million and
incurred non-cash charges of $10 million,
leaving substantially no accrual.

In the fourth quarter of 2003, we

incurred a charge of $147 million 
($100 million after-tax or $0.06 per share)
in conjunction with actions taken to 
streamline our North American divisions
and PepsiCo International. These actions
were taken to increase focus and eliminate
redundancies at PBNA and PI and to
improve the efficiency of the supply chain

at FLNA. Of this charge, $81 million
related to asset impairment, reflecting 
$57 million for the closure of a snack
plant in Kentucky, the retirement of snack
manufacturing lines in Maryland and
Arkansas and $24 million for the closure
of a PBNA office building in Florida. The
remaining $66 million included employee-
related costs of $54 million and facility
and other exit costs of $12 million.
Employee-related costs primarily reflect
the termination costs for approximately
850 sales, distribution, manufacturing,
research and marketing employees. As of
December 31, 2005, all terminations had
occurred and substantially no accrual
remains.

Merger-Related Costs
In connection with the Quaker merger in
2001, we recognized merger-related costs
of $59 million ($42 million after-tax or
$0.02 per share) in 2003.

Depreciation and amortization are 
recognized on a straight-line basis over an
asset’s estimated useful life. Land is not
depreciated and construction in progress is
not depreciated until ready for service.
Amortization of intangible assets for each
of the next five years, based on average
2005 foreign exchange rates, is expected
to be $152 million in 2006, $35 million
in 2007, $35 million in 2008, $34 mil-
lion in 2009 and $33 million in 2010.

Depreciable and amortizable assets are

only evaluated for impairment upon a 
significant change in the operating or
macroeconomic environment. In these 
circumstances, if an evaluation of the
undiscounted cash flows indicates impair-
ment, the asset is written down to its 
estimated fair value, which is based on
discounted future cash flows. Useful lives
are periodically evaluated to determine
whether events or circumstances have
occurred which indicate the need for revi-
sion. For additional unaudited information
on our amortizable brand policies, see
“Our Critical Accounting Policies” in
Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

58

R1_notes_v26.qxd  3/1/06  11:06 PM  Page 59

Nonamortizable Intangible Assets
Perpetual brands and goodwill are assessed for impairment at least annually to ensure that discounted future cash flows continue to
exceed the related book value. A perpetual brand is impaired if its book value exceeds its fair value. Goodwill is evaluated for 
impairment if the book value of its reporting unit exceeds its fair value. A reporting unit can be a division or business within a division.
If the fair value of an evaluated asset is less than its book value, the asset is written down based on its discounted future cash flows to
fair value. No impairment charges resulted from the required impairment evaluations. The change in the book value of nonamortizable
intangible assets is as follows:

For additional unaudited information on
our income tax policies, including our
reserves for income taxes, see “Our Critical
Accounting Policies” in Management’s
Discussion and Analysis.

Carryforwards, Credits and Allowances
Operating loss carryforwards totaling 
$5.1 billion at year-end 2005 are being
carried forward in a number of foreign and
state jurisdictions where we are permitted
to use tax operating losses from prior peri-
ods to reduce future taxable income. These
operating losses will expire as follows:
$0.1 billion in 2006, $4.1 billion between
2007 and 2025 and $0.9 billion may be
carried forward indefinitely. In addition,
certain tax credits generated in prior peri-
ods of approximately $39.4 million are
available to reduce certain foreign tax 
liabilities through 2011. We establish 
valuation allowances for our deferred tax
assets when the amount of expected future
taxable income is not likely to support the
use of the deduction or credit.

Undistributed International Earnings
The AJCA created a one-time incentive for
U.S. corporations to repatriate undistrib-
uted international earnings by providing an

85% dividends received deduction. As
approved by our Board of Directors in July
2005, we repatriated approximately 
$7.5 billion in earnings previously consid-
ered indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S.
in the fourth quarter of 2005. In 2005, we
recorded income tax expense of $460 mil-
lion associated with this repatriation. Other
than the earnings repatriated, we intend to
continue to reinvest earnings outside the
U.S. for the foreseeable future and, there-
fore, have not recognized any U.S. tax
expense on these earnings. At December
31, 2005, we had approximately $7.5 bil-
lion of undistributed international earnings.

Reserves
A number of years may elapse before a par-
ticular matter, for which we have established
a reserve, is audited and finally resolved.
The number of years with open tax audits
varies depending on the tax jurisdiction.
During 2004, we recognized $266 million of
tax benefits related to the favorable resolu-
tion of certain open tax issues. In addition,
in 2004, we recognized a tax benefit of 
$38 million upon agreement with the IRS on
an open issue related to our discontinued
restaurant operations. At the end of 2003,

we entered into agreements with the IRS for
open years through 1997. These agreements
resulted in a tax benefit of $109 million in
the fourth quarter of 2003. As part of these
agreements, we also resolved the treatment
of certain other issues related to future 
tax years.

The IRS has initiated their audits of our

tax returns for the years 1998 through
2002. Our tax returns subsequent to 2002
have not yet been examined. While it is
often difficult to predict the final outcome or
the timing of resolution of any particular tax
matter, we believe that our reserves reflect
the probable outcome of known tax contin-
gencies. Settlement of any particular issue
would usually require the use of cash.
Favorable resolution would be recognized as
a reduction to our annual tax rate in the year
of resolution. Our tax reserves, covering all
federal, state and foreign jurisdictions, are
presented in the balance sheet within other
liabilities (see Note 14), except for any
amounts relating to items we expect to pay
in the coming year which are included in
current income taxes payable. For further
unaudited information on the impact of the
resolution of open tax issues, see “Other
Consolidated Results.”

Note 6 — Stock-Based Compensation

Our stock-based compensation program is
a broad-based program designed to attract
and retain employees while also aligning
employees’ interests with the interests of
our shareholders. Employees at all levels
participate in our stock-based compensa-
tion program. In addition, members of our
Board of Directors participate in our stock-
based compensation program in connec-
tion with their service on our Board. Stock
options and RSUs are granted to employ-
ees under the shareholder-approved 2003
Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP), our only
active stock-based plan. Stock-based 
compensation expense was $311 million
in 2005, $368 million in 2004 and 
$407 million in 2003. Related income tax
benefits recognized in earnings were 
$87 million in 2005, $103 million in
2004 and $114 million in 2003. At year-
end 2005, 51 million shares were avail-
able for future executive and SharePower
grants. For additional unaudited informa-

tion on our stock-based compensation pro-
gram, see “Our Critical Accounting Policies”
in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

cise price of previously issued awards, and
any repricing of awards would require
approval of our shareholders.

SharePower Grants
SharePower options are awarded under our
LTIP to all eligible employees, based on
job level or classification, and in the case
of international employees, tenure as well.
All stock option grants have an exercise
price equal to the fair market value of our
common stock on the day of grant and
generally have a 10-year term with vesting
after three years.

Executive Grants
All senior management and certain middle
management are eligible for executive
grants under our LTIP. All stock option
grants have an exercise price equal to the
fair market value of our common stock on
the day of grant and generally have a 
10-year term with vesting after three years.
There have been no reductions to the exer-

Beginning in 2004, executives who are

awarded long-term incentives based on
their performance are offered the choice of
stock options or RSUs. RSU expense is
based on the fair value of PepsiCo stock on
the date of grant and is amortized over the
vesting period, generally three years. Each
restricted stock unit can be settled in a
share of our stock after the vesting period.
Executives who elect RSUs receive one
RSU for every four stock options that would
have otherwise been granted. Senior offi-
cers do not have a choice and are granted
50% stock options and 50% RSUs.
Vesting of RSU awards for senior officers is
contingent upon the achievement of 
pre-established performance targets. We
granted 3 million RSUs in both 2005 and
2004 with weighted-average intrinsic val-
ues of $53.83 and $47.28, respectively.

Method of Accounting and Our Assumptions
We account for our employee stock options under the fair value
method of accounting using a Black-Scholes valuation model to
measure stock-based compensation expense at the date of grant.
We adopted SFAS 123R, Share-Based Payment, under the 
modified prospective method in the first quarter of 2006. We do
not expect our adoption of SFAS 123R to materially impact our
financial statements.

Note 7 — Pension, Retiree Medical and Savings Plans

Our pension plans cover full-time employ-
ees in the U.S. and certain international
employees. Benefits are determined based
on either years of service or a combination
of years of service and earnings. U.S.
retirees are also eligible for medical and
life insurance benefits (retiree medical) if
they meet age and service requirements.
Generally, our share of retiree medical
costs is capped at specified dollar
amounts, which vary based upon years of
service, with retirees contributing the
remainder of the costs. We use a
September 30 measurement date and all
plan assets and liabilities are generally

reported as of that date. The cost or 
benefit of plan changes that increase or
decrease benefits for prior employee 
service (prior service cost) is included in
expense on a straight-line basis over the
average remaining service period of
employees expected to receive benefits.

The Medicare Act was signed into law in
December 2003 and we applied the provi-
sions of the Medicare Act to our plans in
2005 and 2004. The Medicare Act 
provides a subsidy for sponsors of retiree
medical plans who offer drug benefits
equivalent to those provided under
Medicare. As a result of the Medicare Act,

our 2005 and 2004 retiree medical costs
were $11 million and $7 million lower,
respectively, and our 2005 and 2004 lia-
bilities were reduced by $136 million and
$80 million, respectively. We expect our
2006 retiree medical costs to be approxi-
mately $18 million lower than they other-
wise would have been as a result of the
Medicare Act.

For additional unaudited information on
our pension and retiree medical plans and
related accounting policies and assump-
tions, see “Our Critical Accounting Policies”
in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Of the total projected pension benefit liability at year-end 2005, $765 million relates to plans that we do not fund because the 

funding of such plans does not receive favorable tax treatment.

Future Benefit Payments
Our estimated future benefit payments are as follows:

2006
$235
$85

2007
$255
$90

2008
$275

2009
$300

2010
$330
$100

2011-15
$2,215
$545

These future benefits to beneficiaries include payments from both funded and unfunded pension plans.

Pension Assets
The expected return on pension plan
assets is based on our historical experi-
ence, our pension plan investment guide-
lines, and our expectations for long-term
rates of return. We use a market-related
value method that recognizes each year’s
asset gain or loss over a five-year period.
Therefore, it takes five years for the gain or
loss from any one year to be fully included
in the value of pension plan assets that is
used to calculate the expected return. Our

pension plan investment guidelines are
established based upon an evaluation of
market conditions, tolerance for risk and
cash requirements for benefit payments.
Our investment objective is to ensure that
funds are available to meet the plans’ ben-
efit obligations when they are due. Our
investment strategy is to prudently invest
plan assets in high-quality and diversified
equity and debt securities to achieve our
long-term return expectation. Our target

allocation and actual pension plan asset
allocations for the plan years 2005 and
2004, are below.

Pension assets include approximately
5.5 million shares of PepsiCo common
stock with a market value of $311 million
in 2005, and 5.5 million shares with a
market value of $267 million in 2004. Our
investment policy limits the investment in
PepsiCo stock at the time of investment to
10% of the fair value of plan assets.

Retiree Medical Cost Trend Rates
An average increase of 10% in the cost of
covered retiree medical benefits is
assumed for 2006. This average increase
is then projected to decline gradually to

5% in 2010 and thereafter. These
assumed health care cost trend rates have
an impact on the retiree medical plan
expense and liability. However, the cap on
our share of retiree medical costs limits

the impact. A 1 percentage point change
in the assumed health care trend rate
would have the following effects:

Savings Plans
Our U.S. employees are eligible to partici-
pate in 401(k) savings plans, which are
voluntary defined contribution plans. The

plans are designed to help employees
accumulate additional savings for retire-
ment. We make matching contributions on
a portion of eligible pay based on years of

service. In 2005 and 2004, our matching
contributions were $52 million and $35
million, respectively.

Note 8 — Noncontrolled Bottling Affiliates

Our most significant noncontrolled bottling
affiliates are PBG and PAS. Approximately
10% of our net revenue in 2005, 2004
and 2003 reflects sales to PBG.

The Pepsi Bottling Group
In addition to approximately 41% and
42% of PBG’s outstanding common stock
that we own at year-end 2005 and 2004,
respectively, we own 100% of PBG’s class
B common stock and approximately 7% of
the equity of Bottling Group, LLC, PBG’s

principal operating subsidiary. This gives
us economic ownership of approximately
45% and 46% of PBG’s combined opera-
tions at year-end 2005 and 2004, respec-
tively. In 2005, bottling equity income
includes $126 million of pre-tax gains on
our sales of PBG stock.

Our investment in PBG, which includes
the related goodwill, was $400 million and
$321 million higher than our ownership
interest in their net assets at year-end
2005 and 2004, respectively. Based upon
the quoted closing price of PBG shares at
year-end 2005 and 2004, the calculated
market value of our shares in PBG, exclud-
ing our investment in Bottling Group, LLC,
exceeded our investment balance by
approximately $1.5 billion and $1.7 
billion, respectively.

Our investment in PAS, which includes

the related goodwill, was $292 million 
and $253 million higher than our owner-
ship interest in their net assets at year-end
2005 and 2004, respectively. Based upon
the quoted closing price of PAS shares at
year-end 2005 and 2004, the calculated
market value of our shares in PepsiAmericas
exceeded our investment balance by
approximately $364 million and 
$277 million, respectively.

In January 2005, PAS acquired a
regional bottler, Central Investment
Corporation. The table above includes the
results of Central Investment Corporation
from the transaction date forward.

Related Party Transactions
Our significant related party transactions
involve our noncontrolled bottling affiliates.
We sell concentrate to these affiliates,
which is used in the production of carbon-
ated soft drinks and non-carbonated bever-

ages. We also sell certain finished goods 
to these affiliates and we receive royalties
for the use of our trademarks for certain
products. Sales of concentrate and 
finished goods are reported net of bottler
funding. For further unaudited information

on these bottlers, see “Our Customers” in
Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
These transactions with our bottling 
affiliates are reflected in our consolidated
financial statements as follows:

Net revenue
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Accounts and notes receivable
Accounts payable and other current liabilities

$117

2004
$ 4,170

2003
$3,699
$128

Such amounts are settled on terms 

consistent with other trade receivables and
payables. See Note 9 regarding our guaran-
tee of certain PBG debt.

In addition, we coordinate, on an aggre-
gate basis, the negotiation and purchase of
sweeteners and other raw materials

requirements for certain of our bottlers
with suppliers. Once we have negotiated
the contracts, the bottlers order and take
delivery directly from the supplier and pay
the suppliers directly. Consequently, these
transactions are not reflected in our 
consolidated financial statements. As the

66

contracting party, we could be liable to
these suppliers in the event of any nonpay-
ment by our bottlers, but we consider this
exposure to be remote.

The interest rates in the above table reflect weighted-average rates as of year-end.

Short-term borrowings are reclassified to
long-term when we have the intent and
ability, through the existence of the unused
lines of credit, to refinance these borrow-
ings on a long-term basis. At year-end
2005, we maintained $2.1 billion in 
corporate lines of credit subject to normal
banking terms and conditions. These credit
facilities support short-term debt issuances
and remained unused as of December 31,
2005. Of the $2.1 billion, $1.35 billion
expires in May 2006 with the remaining
$750 million expiring in June 2009.

In addition, $181 million of our debt
was outstanding on various lines of credit
maintained for our international divisions.

These lines of credit are subject to normal
banking terms and conditions and are
committed to the extent of our borrowings.

Interest Rate Swaps
We entered into interest rate swaps in
2004 to effectively convert the interest rate
of a specific debt issuance from a fixed
rate of 3.2% to a variable rate. The vari-
able weighted-average interest rate that we
pay is linked to LIBOR and is subject to
change. The notional amount of the inter-
est rate swaps outstanding at December
31, 2005 and December 25, 2004 was
$500 million. The terms of the interest
rate swaps match the terms of the debt
they modify. The swaps mature in 2007.

At December 31, 2005, approximately
78% of total debt, after the impact of the
associated interest rate swaps, was exposed
to variable interest rates, compared to 67%
at December 25, 2004. In addition to vari-
able rate long-term debt, all debt with matu-
rities of less than one year is categorized
as variable for purposes of this measure.

Cross Currency Interest Rate Swaps
In 2004, we entered into a cross currency
interest rate swap to hedge the currency
exposure on U.S. dollar denominated debt
of $50 million held by a foreign affiliate.
The terms of this swap match the terms of
the debt it modifies. The swap matures in
2008. The unrecognized gain related to
this swap was less than $1 million at
December 31, 2005, resulting in a U.S.
dollar liability of $50 million. At December
25, 2004, the unrecognized loss related to
this swap was $3 million, resulting in a
U.S. dollar liability of $53 million. We
have also entered into cross currency 
interest rate swaps to hedge the currency
exposure on U.S. dollar denominated 
intercompany debt of $125 million. The
terms of the swaps match the terms of the
debt they modify. The swaps mature over
the next two years. The net unrecognized
gain related to these swaps was $5 million
at December 31, 2005. The net unrecog-
nized loss related to these swaps was less
than $1 million at December 25, 2004.

The above table reflects non-cancelable commitments as of December 31, 2005 based on year-end foreign exchange rates.

R1_notes_v26.qxd  3/1/06  11:07 PM  Page 68

Most long-term contractual commit-
ments, except for our long-term debt 
obligations, are not recorded in our
Consolidated Balance Sheet. Non-cance-
lable operating leases primarily represent
building leases. Non-cancelable purchasing
commitments are primarily for oranges and
orange juices to be used for our Tropicana
brand beverages. Non-cancelable marketing
commitments primarily are for sports 
marketing and with our fountain customers.
Bottler funding is not reflected in our 
long-term contractual commitments as it is
negotiated on an annual basis. See Note 7
regarding our pension and retiree medical

obligations and discussion below regarding
our commitments to noncontrolled bottling
affiliates and former restaurant operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
It is not our business practice to enter into
off-balance sheet arrangements, other than
in the normal course of business, nor is 
it our policy to issue guarantees to our 
bottlers, noncontrolled affiliates or third
parties. However, certain guarantees were
necessary to facilitate the separation of our
bottling and restaurant operations from us.
In connection with these transactions, we
have guaranteed $2.3 billion of Bottling
Group, LLC’s long-term debt through 2012
and $28 million of YUM! Brands, Inc.
(YUM) outstanding obligations, primarily

property leases, through 2020. The terms
of our Bottling Group, LLC debt guarantee
are intended to preserve the structure of
PBG’s separation from us and our payment
obligation would be triggered if Bottling
Group, LLC failed to perform under these
debt obligations or the structure signifi-
cantly changed. Our guarantees of certain
obligations ensured YUM’s continued use of
certain properties. These guarantees would
require our cash payment if YUM failed to
perform under these lease obligations.

See “Our Liquidity, Capital Resources
and Financial Position” in Management’s
Discussion and Analysis for further 
unaudited information on our borrowings.

Note 10 — Risk Management

We are exposed to the risk of loss arising
from adverse changes in:
• commodity prices, affecting the cost of

our raw materials and energy,

• foreign exchange risks,
• interest rates,
• stock prices, and
• discount rates affecting the measure-

ment of our pension and retiree medical
liabilities.
In the normal course of business, we
manage these risks through a variety of
strategies, including the use of derivatives.
Certain derivatives are designated as either
cash flow or fair value hedges and qualify
for hedge accounting treatment, while oth-
ers do not qualify and are marked to market
through earnings. See “Our Business
Risks” in Management’s Discussion and
Analysis for further unaudited information
on our business risks.

For cash flow hedges, changes in fair
value are deferred in accumulated other
comprehensive loss within shareholders’
equity until the underlying hedged item is
recognized in net income. For fair value
hedges, changes in fair value are recognized
immediately in earnings, consistent with the
underlying hedged item. Hedging transac-
tions are limited to an underlying exposure.
As a result, any change in the value of our
derivative instruments would be substan-
tially offset by an opposite change in the
value of the underlying hedged items.
Hedging ineffectiveness and a net earnings

impact occur when the change in the value
of the hedge does not offset the change in
the value of the underlying hedged item. If
the derivative instrument is terminated, we
continue to defer the related gain or loss
and include it as a component of the cost of
the underlying hedged item. Upon determi-
nation that the underlying hedged item 
will not be part of an actual transaction, we
recognize the related gain or loss in net
income in that period.

We also use derivatives that do not 
qualify for hedge accounting treatment. 
We account for such derivatives at market
value with the resulting gains and losses
reflected in our income statement. We do
not use derivative instruments for trading
or speculative purposes and we limit our
exposure to individual counterparties to
manage credit risk.

Commodity Prices
We are subject to commodity price risk
because our ability to recover increased
costs through higher pricing may be 
limited in the competitive environment in
which we operate. This risk is managed
through the use of fixed-price purchase
orders, pricing agreements, geographic
diversity and derivatives. We use deriva-
tives, with terms of no more than two
years, to economically hedge price fluctua-
tions related to a portion of our anticipated
commodity purchases, primarily for natural
gas and diesel fuel. For those derivatives
that are designated as cash flow hedges,

any ineffectiveness is recorded immedi-
ately. However, our commodity cash flow
hedges have not had any significant inef-
fectiveness for all periods presented. We
classify both the earnings and cash flow
impact from these derivatives consistent
with the underlying hedged item. During
the next 12 months, we expect to reclas-
sify gains of $24 million related to cash
flow hedges from accumulated other 
comprehensive loss into net income.

Foreign Exchange
Our operations outside of the U.S. generate
over a third of our net revenue of which
Mexico, the United Kingdom and Canada
comprise nearly 20%. As a result, we are
exposed to foreign currency risks from
unforeseen economic changes and political
unrest. On occasion, we enter into hedges,
primarily forward contracts with terms of no
more than two years, to reduce the effect of
foreign exchange rates. Ineffectiveness on
these hedges has not been material.

Interest Rates
We centrally manage our debt and invest-
ment portfolios considering investment
opportunities and risks, tax consequences
and overall financing strategies. We may
use interest rate and cross currency 
interest rate swaps to manage our overall
interest expense and foreign exchange risk.
These instruments effectively change the
interest rate and currency of specific debt
issuances. These swaps are entered into

68

notesv26L01P54_76v3.qxd  3/4/06  3:11 AM  Page 69

concurrently with the issuance of the debt
that they are intended to modify. The
notional amount, interest payment and
maturity date of the swaps match the 
principal, interest payment and maturity
date of the related debt. These swaps are
entered into only with strong creditworthy
counterparties, are settled on a net basis
and are of relatively short duration.

Stock Prices
The portion of our deferred compensation
liability that is based on certain market
indices and on our stock price is subject 
to market risk. We hold mutual fund
investments and prepaid forward contracts
to manage this risk. Changes in the fair
value of these investments and contracts
are recognized immediately in earnings
and are offset by changes in the related
compensation liability.

Fair Value
All derivative instruments are recognized in
our Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair
value. The fair value of our derivative instru-
ments is generally based on quoted market
prices. Book and fair values of our derivative
and financial instruments are as follows:

This table excludes guarantees, including our guarantee of $2.3 billion of Bottling Group, LLC’s long-term debt. The guarantee had a

fair value of $47 million at December 31, 2005 and $46 million at December 25, 2004 based on an external estimate of the cost to
us of transferring the liability to an independent financial institution. See Note 9 for additional information on our guarantees.

Note 11 — Net Income per Common Share from Continuing Operations

Basic net income per common share is net
income available to common shareholders
divided by the weighted average of com-
mon shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted net income per common share is
calculated using the weighted average of
common shares outstanding adjusted to
include the effect that would occur if 

in-the-money employee stock options were
exercised and RSUs and preferred shares
were converted into common shares.
Options to purchase 3.0 million shares in
2005, 7.0 million shares in 2004 and
49.0 million shares in 2003 were not
included in the calculation of diluted 
earnings per common share because these

options were out-of-the-money. Out-of-the-
money options had average exercise prices
of $53.77 in 2005, $52.88 in 2004 and
$48.27 in 2003.

Note 12 — Preferred and Common Stock

As of December 31, 2005 and December
25, 2004, there were 3.6 billion shares of
common stock and 3 million shares of 
convertible preferred stock authorized. The
preferred stock was issued only for an
employee stock ownership plan (ESOP)
established by Quaker and these shares 
are redeemable for common stock by the
ESOP participants. The preferred stock
accrues dividends at an annual rate of
$5.46 per share. At year-end 2005 and

2004, there were 803,953 preferred
shares issued and 354,853 and 424,853
shares outstanding, respectively. Each
share is convertible at the option of the
holder into 4.9625 shares of common
stock. The preferred shares may be called
by us upon written notice at $78 per share
plus accrued and unpaid dividends.

As of December 31, 2005, 0.3 million
outstanding shares of preferred stock with
a fair value of $104 million and 17 million

shares of common stock were held in the
accounts of ESOP participants. As of
December 25, 2004, 0.4 million outstand-
ing shares of preferred stock with a fair
value of $110 million and 18 million
shares of common stock were held in the
accounts of ESOP participants. Quaker
made the final award to its ESOP plan in
June 2001.

Management’s Responsibility for Financial Reporting

Audit Committee comprises independent directors with the 
financial literacy, knowledge and experience to provide appropriate
oversight. We review our critical accounting policies, financial
reporting and internal control matters with them and encourage
their direct communication with KPMG LLP, with our General
Auditor, and with our General Counsel. In 2005, we named a 
senior compliance officer to lead and coordinate our compliance
policies and practices.

Providing investors with financial results that are complete, 
transparent and understandable. The consolidated financial state-
ments and financial information included in this report are the
responsibility of management. This includes preparing the 
financial statements in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the U.S., which require estimates based on
management’s best judgment.

PepsiCo has a strong history of doing what’s right. We realize that
great companies are built on trust, strong ethical standards and
principles. Our financial results are delivered from that culture of
accountability, and we take responsibility for the quality and 
accuracy of our financial reporting.

Peter A. Bridgman
Senior Vice President and Controller

Indra K. Nooyi
President and Chief Financial Officer

Steven S Reinemund
Chairman of the Board 
and Chief Executive Officer

To Our Shareholders:

At PepsiCo, our actions — the actions of all our associates — are
governed by our Worldwide Code of Conduct. This code is clearly
aligned with our stated values — a commitment to sustained
growth, through empowered people, operating with responsibility
and building trust. Both the code and our core values enable us to
operate with integrity — both within the letter and the spirit of
the law. Our code of conduct is reinforced consistently at all levels 
and in all countries. We have maintained strong governance 
policies and practices for many years.

The management of PepsiCo is responsible for the objectivity
and integrity of our consolidated financial statements. The Audit
Committee of the Board of Directors has engaged independent
registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, to audit our 
consolidated financial statements and they have expressed an
unqualified opinion.

We are committed to providing timely, accurate and understand-

able information to investors. Our commitment encompasses 
the following:

Maintaining strong controls over financial reporting. Our system of
internal control is based on the control criteria framework of the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission published in their report titled, Internal Control —
Integrated Framework. The system is designed to provide reason-
able assurance that transactions are executed as authorized and
accurately recorded; that assets are safeguarded; and that
accounting records are sufficiently reliable to permit the prepara-
tion of financial statements that conform in all material respects
with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure
that information required to be disclosed in reports under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summa-
rized and reported within the specified time periods. We monitor
these internal controls through self-assessments and an ongoing
program of internal audits. Our internal controls are reinforced
through our Worldwide Code of Conduct, which sets forth our
commitment to conduct business with integrity, and within both
the letter and the spirit of the law.

Exerting rigorous oversight of the business. We continuously review
our business results and strategies. This encompasses financial
discipline in our strategic and daily business decisions. Our
Executive Committee is actively involved — from understanding
strategies and alternatives to reviewing key initiatives and 
financial performance. The intent is to ensure we remain objective
in our assessments, constructively challenge our approach to 
potential business opportunities and issues, and monitor results
and controls.

Engaging strong and effective Corporate Governance from our Board of
Directors. We have an active, capable and diligent Board that
meets the required standards for independence, and we welcome
the Board’s oversight as a representative of our shareholders. Our

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

To Our Shareholders:

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining
adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is
defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act.  Under the supervi-
sion and with the participation of our management, including our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted
an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over finan-
cial reporting based upon the framework in Internal Control —
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  Based on that 
evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control
over financial reporting is effective as of December 31, 2005.

KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has
audited the consolidated financial statements included in this
Annual Report and, as part of their audit, has issued their report,
included herein, (1) on our management’s assessment of the effec-
tiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and (2) on
the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the
company are being made only in accordance with authorizations
of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide 
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over finan-

cial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, 
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because
of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with
the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of PepsiCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and
December 25, 2004, and the results of their operations and their
cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 2005, in conformity with United States generally
accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, manage-
ment’s assessment that PepsiCo, Inc. maintained effective 
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005,
is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria 
established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by
COSO. Furthermore, in our opinion, PepsiCo, Inc. maintained, in
all material respects, effective internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established
in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

KPMG LLP
New York, New York
February 24, 2006

Board of Directors and Shareholders PepsiCo, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet of
PepsiCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and
December 25, 2004 and the related Consolidated Statements of
Income, Cash Flows and Common Shareholders’ Equity for each of
the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2005. We
have also audited management’s assessment, included in
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial
Reporting, that PepsiCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries maintained 
effective internal control over financial reporting as of 
December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal
Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
PepsiCo, Inc.’s management is responsible for these consolidated
financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control
over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effective-
ness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial state-
ments, an opinion on management’s assessment, and an opinion
on the effectiveness of PepsiCo, Inc.’s internal control over 
financial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the

Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial 
statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective
internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all mate-
rial respects. Our audit of financial statements included examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluat-
ing the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of 
internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an
understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluat-
ing management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design
and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing
such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circum-
stances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a

process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of
the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted

Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Information

We recognized a tax charge in 2005 related to the Company’s
intention to repatriate $7.5 billion of international earnings under
the provisions of the AJCA. In addition, we recorded restructuring
charges in 2005 to reduce costs in some of our operations, princi-
pally through headcount reductions, as well as restructuring and
impairment charges in 2004 related to Frito Lay’s manufacturing
consolidation. We also recognized certain tax benefits in 2004. In
2005, we have an additional week of results (53rd week) as our
fiscal year ends on the last Saturday of each December, resulting
in an additional week of results every five or six years.  

The financial measures listed below are not measures defined
by generally accepted accounting principles. However, we believe
investors should consider these measures as they are more indica-
tive of our ongoing performance. Specifically, investors should
consider the following:
• Our 2005 net income and diluted EPS amounts without the

impact of the AJCA tax charge, the 53rd week and the restruc-
turing charges, and our 2004 net income and diluted EPS
amounts without the impact of prior year tax benefits and
restructuring and impairment charges; and

• Our 2005 return on invested capital (ROIC) without the impact

of the AJCA tax charge, the restructuring and impairment
charges, the 53rd week and prior year tax benefits.

Stock Performance
PepsiCo was formed through the 1965 merger of 
Pepsi-Cola Company and Frito-Lay, Inc. A $1,000 
investment in our stock made on December 31, 2000 
was worth about $1,284 on December 31, 2005, 
assuming the reinvestment of dividends into PepsiCo
stock. This performance represents a compounded 
annual growth rate of 5%.

The closing price for a share of PepsiCo common stock
on the New York Stock Exchange was the price as report-
ed by Bloomberg for the years ending 2001-2005. These
amounts reflect the closing price of pre-merger PepsiCo
prior to our merger with The Quaker Oats Company. Past
performance is not necessarily indicative of future
returns on investments in PepsiCo common stock.
