PepsiCo common stock, which is also listed on the Chicago 
and Swiss Stock Exchanges.

shareholders of record.

Dividend Policy
We target an annual dividend payout of 50% of prior year’s 
earnings, excluding certain items. Dividends are usually 
declared in late January or early February, May, July and

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, 2002 was worth about 
$1,964 on December 31, 2007, assuming the reinvestment 
of dividends into PepsiCo stock. This performance repre-
sents a compounded annual growth rate of 14%.

The closing price for a share of PepsiCo common stock on 
the New York Stock Exchange was the price as reported 
by Bloomberg for the years ending 2003-2007. Past 
performance is not necessarily indicative of future returns 
on investments in PepsiCo common stock.

Delivering Performance with Purpose in 2007

Dear Shareholders:

We have titled this year’s annual report “Performance with Purpose: The Journey Continues.”  
That’s because in 2007 PepsiCo made great progress toward the long-term corporate 
objectives we set for ourselves last year: To achieve business and financial success while 
leaving a positive imprint on society.

Once more, our extraordinary associates around the world 
delivered terrific performance, and I am delighted to share 
with you the following 2007 financial results:

 (cid:129)  Net revenue grew 12%, roughly three times the rate of global GDP growth.

 (cid:129) Division operating profit grew 10%.*

(cid:129)  Earnings per share grew 13%.*

(cid:129)  Total return to shareholders was 26%.

(cid:129) Return on invested capital was 29%.

(cid:129) Cash flow from operations was $6.9 billion.

In 2007 PepsiCo took important steps to support future growth.

What makes me particularly proud is that our 2007 performance was strong — 
not just measured by these short-term metrics — but also with the long-term equally 
in mind:

(cid:129)  We increased capital expenditures in plant and equipment worldwide to enable 

growth of core brands and expand into new platforms such as baked and crisp-bread 
snacks and non-carbonated beverages.

(cid:129)  We added several tuck-in acquisitions in key markets and segments, and we further 

expanded our successful coffee and tea joint ventures.

(cid:129)  We created the Chief Scientific Officer position to ensure our technical 

capabilities keep pace with increasingly sophisticated consumer demand; 
and we funded incremental investment to explore breakthrough 
R&D opportunities.

(cid:129)  We maintained focus on building next-generation IT capabilities with 

Project One Up, to support our long-term growth prospects worldwide.

*See page 86.

Our brands once again demonstrated competitive strength.

On the ground, in cities and towns around the world, good brand strategies were 
implemented with operational excellence. I’d like to share a few notable examples of 
the big marketplace wins we enjoyed in 2007:

(cid:129)  Our carbonated soft drink and savory snack brands gained market share in the United 

States and in many of our top international markets.

(cid:129)  In the United Kingdom, Baked Walkers crisps was named “New Product of the Year” by 

Marketing Week magazine.

(cid:129)  SunChips snacks delivered double-digit growth in the United States as a result of great, 

innovative marketing and in-store execution.

(cid:129)  7UP H2Oh! was our fastest-growing brand in value and volume share in Brazil in 

its launch year.

(cid:129)  Pepsi Max came of age as a global brand, with outstanding performance in the United 
States as Diet Pepsi Max, after successes in Northern Europe and Australia and 2007 
launches across Asia.

(cid:129)  PepsiCo beverage brands crossed the $1 billion mark in Russia retail sales.
(cid:129)  We posted double-digit volume growth in China beverages and high-single-digit 

beverage volume growth in India.

And we did all of this while battling increased commodity inflation and more 
macroeconomic volatility than in previous years.

In the next few pages you’ll learn a lot more about the performance of our individual 
businesses from the leaders of PepsiCo Americas Foods, PepsiCo Americas Beverages and 
PepsiCo International.

You’ll see it’s been a good year commercially. I believe that is in part 
because we have moved our purpose agenda forward. 

Select Portfolio 
Transformation Milestones

In a networked global marketplace, 
companies must embrace the reality of 
rapid change and interconnectedness — 
and corporate strategy must holistically 
consider the complex factors shaping 
the landscape. That was why, last year, 
we said we would commit ourselves to 
deliver performance — but it would be 
performance with purpose.

The goal of human sustainability is 
to nourish consumers with a range of 
products, from treats to healthy eats. 
We are proud to give consumers choices 
across the spectrum. Our products 
deliver joy as well as nutrition — 
and always, great taste. In 2007 
we made great progress toward 
human sustainability:

You see, our performance and our 
purpose are not two separate things. 
They are not even two sides of the same 
coin. They are merging. For example, 
portfolio transformation — offering 
consumers healthier choices — is 
equally about human sustainability and 
top-line growth.

With great pride, I turn now to PepsiCo’s 
2007 achievements in each of the 
three elements that together form our 
purpose agenda: human, environment 
and talent sustainability.

“ Nothing would be more 
tiresome than eating and 
drinking if God had not made 
them a pleasure as well as a 
necessity.” — Voltaire

(cid:129)  Reformulating some of our 

existing products to improve their 
nutritional profile.

(cid:129)  Launching new products that reflect 
consumer demand for healthier, 
nutritious snacks and beverages.

(cid:129)  Partnering with governments, health 

officials and non-governmental 
organizations to help address 
obesity concerns.

(cid:129)  Continuing to grow our portfolio of 

Smart Spot* eligible products.
(cid:129)  Providing consumers with many 
great new treat choices and 
innovations.

You will find many examples of these 
efforts in the pages that follow.

1964:  Pepsi-Cola introduces Diet Pepsi. 

1980:  Frito-Lay begins “Light” line of low-

fat snacks.

1989:  Frito-Lay launches “1/3 Less Oil” line 

of snacks.

1991:  Frito-Lay launches SunChips, its first 

multigrain snack.

1992:  Pepsi-Cola launches Lipton Iced Teas 

in the United States.

1995:  Baked Lay’s arrives as a major 

low-fat snack.

1998: PepsiCo acquires Tropicana.

2001:  PepsiCo merges with Quaker Oats, 

including Gatorade. 

2002:  Frito-Lay announces removal of 

trans fats from Doritos, Tostitos and 
Cheetos snacks.

2004:  PepsiCo introduces Smart Spot* symbol.

2006:  Walkers introduces Baked Walkers 

Crisps with 70% less fat.

2007:  Frito-Lay completes the conversion to 

sunflower oil across all potato chip 
brands in the United States, eliminat-
ing over 50% of the saturated fat in 
those brands.

“ Your descendants shall gather your fruits.” — Virgil

(cid:129)  Incorporating consideration of envi-
ronmental sustainability issues and 
opportunities as part of every capital 
expenditure evaluation for projects 
greater than $5 million.

(cid:129)  Using new technologies to save 
energy, and working out ways 
to communicate our conservation 
efforts through brand marketing 
activities.

(cid:129)  Offsetting the total purchased 
electricity used by all PepsiCo 
U.S.-based facilities, by purchasing 
renewable energy certificates.

These initiatives pay.  Since 1999, 
Frito-Lay North America has reduced
per-pound water use by more than 
38%, manufacturing fuels by more than
27%, and electricity by more than 21%, 
thereby saving $55 million in energy and 
utility costs compared with 1999.

As a result of these and many other 
actions, detailed later in this report, 
we earned inclusion in the Dow Jones 
Sustainability Index (DJSI) in both their 
North America and World Indices.

The second component of purpose 
is environmental sustainability. 
Companies — like individuals — must 
act as custodians of our natural 
resources. As it is for each individual, it 
is a matter of moral urgency that 
companies do what they can. But it is a 
matter of business urgency too. Today, 
recruiting the best people is difficult 
without a good record on the environ-
ment — to say nothing of the direct 
link between resource conservation and 
business productivity.

Our stated goal is to further reduce 
our water and energy usage and move 
towards the ideal of “net neutral.” By 
2015, corporate-wide, we will reduce 
per-unit water consumption by 20%, 
electricity consumption by 20% and 
manufacturing fuel consumption 
by 25% — as compared with our 
consumption metrics in 2006. We 
evaluate each project against return on 
investment hurdles, but also consider 
intangible benefits and longer-term 
implications. Here are some of the 
ways we continued to make real 
progress in 2007:

(cid:129)  Reusing water from processing, 

working with local communities to 
provide access to clean water, and 
supporting local farmers to deliver 
“more crop per drop.”

2007 Environmental Honors

part of our purpose aims: Cherishing 
our employees, what we call talent 
sustainability.

Catalyst, DiversityInc, Black Enterprise 
magazine, Latina STYLE magazine, 
Fortune, and others. We are proud to 
be recognized internationally as “a great 
company” for which to work.

“ The way you see people is the 
way you treat them, and the 
way you treat them is what they 
become.” — Johann von Goethe

PepsiCo is blessed with an extraordinary 
group of people. Talent sustainability is 
the process of treating them well and 
priming them to fulfill their dreams. So 
it is at PepsiCo. We pursue diversity to 
reflect the consumers we serve. We create 
an inclusive environment and encourage 
associates to bring their whole selves to 
work. We provide excellent benefits and 
training opportunities. Our associates 
respond accordingly and deliver the out-
standing results we present to you here. 
They are great corporate citizens, in addi-
tion to being good parents, caregivers, 
coaches, and community leaders. They 
combine a wonderful can-do spirit with 
an earnest must-do sense of responsibility. 
Gathered together each day in offices, 
manufacturing facilities and distribution 
centers around the world, they make 
PepsiCo a company with a soul.

Let me share some notable examples of 
the ways we continued to advance our 
talent sustainability goals in 2007:

(cid:129)  Increasing female and minority repre-
sentation in the management ranks.
(cid:129)  Engaging employees in health and 

wellness programs.

(cid:129)  Encouraging employees to partici-

pate in community service activities.
(cid:129)  Creating rewarding job opportunities 

for people with different abilities.

Again, these and other initiatives are 
detailed later in this report, and they 
helped PepsiCo earn accolades from sev-
eral prominent organizations including 

Doing better by doing better — that’s 
the ambition Performance with Purpose 
has sparked in us. It’s always been part 
of our DNA and our operating mind set. 
In 2007, it boosted the engagement and 
emotional commitment of associates 
across the company.

All over the world, I have met associates 
who have embraced Performance with 
Purpose. New associates understand it 
instinctively and expect this sort of holistic 
approach from their employer. Veteran 
employees have embraced it with no less 
passion. For many it has rekindled their 
creative spirit and renewed their commit-
ment to the company. 

Together, we are all building on the 
platform of human, environment and 
talent sustainability, while continuing 
to deliver great financial results.

We can do that because all associates 
can see that performance and purpose 
go hand-in-hand. They see that what is 
good for society is also good for business. 
They see that we are walking the talk: 
measuring and tracking the things that we 
say are important. That is a great source of 
motivation across the company.

We enter the new year with great results 
behind us and great prospects to come. 
I look forward to 2008, because I know 
we are a strong company, a responsible 
company, a good company.

A Perspective from Our Chairman and CEO

The questions below reflect those often asked by our shareholders about key areas of our businesses. 
The answers come from our Chairman and CEO, Indra Nooyi.

Q: In November 2007, PepsiCo announced a new 
organizational structure. What drove this decision, and 
how will the restructuring impact financial results? 

Q: How is PepsiCo reacting to the changing global 
economy, particularly the slowing U.S. economy?

A: Given our robust growth in recent years, we felt it was 
time to manage the company as three units instead of two 
— both to allow us to sustain our growth rate and also to 
develop global senior leadership talent for PepsiCo’s future. 
We therefore created three operating business units: PepsiCo 
Americas Foods (PAF), PepsiCo Americas Beverages (PAB), and 
PepsiCo International (PI).

We are confident this organizational structure will help us 
deliver strong top-line performance and profit growth for the 
following reasons:

(cid:129)  Each sector has significant scale and growth potential, 

operates across multiple geographies, and is comprised of 
both developed and developing markets;

(cid:129)  This facilitates our ability to leverage both capabilities and 
innovation between our international and North American 
businesses;

(cid:129)  With each sector being of significant scale, more executives 
will have the opportunity to run large operating businesses 
and gain global operating experience; and

(cid:129)  It enables us to extend the competitive advantages of our 
very successful Power of One initiatives by making them 
increasingly global.

Finally, investors will receive more granular international 
performance data, as we will report volume, revenue and 
operating profit for six PepsiCo segments, versus four in the 
previous structure. Results under the new structure for 2005, 
2006, and 2007 can be found on our company website 
www.pepsico.com, under the “Investors” tab.

A: It is likely the world economies outside the emerging 
countries will slow in 2008 — although our businesses have 
generally proved pretty resilient in past economic downturns. 
It’s also clear that inflation in commodity costs has acceler-
ated, particularly as it relates to grains and energy. We will 
be utilizing all of the tools at our disposal to address rising 
inflation. From a productivity standpoint, we’re accelerating 
efforts across the entire business system: product formula-
tions, ingredient sourcing, trade efficiencies, manufacturing, 
go-to-market and administrative expenses. In addition, 
we will be looking to gain effective pricing, both through 
innovative new products as well as through a judicious 
combination of mix management, product weight-outs, 
and absolute pricing. As always, our decisions are grounded 
in the consumer, customer and competitive environments in 
each market. 

Underlying these efforts are the important structural 
advantages we have across the world. Our brands have 
highly loyal and engaged consumers; they are affordable 
treats and healthy eats; and the strength of our go-to-market 
systems makes them readily available to consumers. 

And as a team, we remain committed to managing for 
the long term, executing with excellence and consistently 
delivering our annual targets.

Q: How are you responding to the category shift in 
consumer beverage consumption between carbonated 
soft drinks (CSDs) and non-carbonated beverages (NCB), 
particularly in the United States?

A: We know that consumers have changing desires, and 
we are continually transforming our beverage portfolio in 
response to these changes. 

Consumers respond to innovation in the CSD category, and 
so we continue to invigorate our flagship CSDs: Pepsi, Diet 
Pepsi and Mountain Dew. Last year, we launched Diet Pepsi 
Max in the United States, a no-calorie beverage with the en-
ergy boost of added caffeine and ginseng; and we launched 
Mountain Dew Game Fuel, created in conjunction with 
Microsoft’s Xbox 360 exclusive title, Halo 3, marking the 
first time a soft drink has been created specifically for 
video gamers.

We have also introduced new carbonated juice drinks like 
Izze, an all-natural sparkling fruit juice brand that we acquired 
in 2006; and we have a growing energy drink business with 
Amp Energy, SoBe Adrenaline Rush and No Fear.

In non-carbonated beverages, we have made great progress 
in the nutrition category with the acquisition of Naked Juice 
and our recent introduction of Tropicana Pure. 

We have U.S. category leadership positions with many of 
our NCB brands, including Aquafina, the number-one 
national PET water brand; Lipton, the number-one ready-
to-drink tea and the number-one ready-to-drink coffee with 
Starbucks Frappuccino. 

PepsiCo defines the performance category with our number-
one sports drink Gatorade; and with our recent launch of G2 
we have added a low-calorie, off-the-field hydration answer 
for athletes. Rounding out the NCB portfolio are great en-
hanced water brands including our low-calorie reformulated 
SoBe Life Water and Propel Fitness Waters. 

Across the entire spectrum of categories, our continued 
focus on R&D and innovation as well as consumer insights 
enables us to adapt and continually meet consumer needs, 
while still leveraging the global strength of our flagship CSD 
beverage portfolio.

Q: What progress has PepsiCo made in its 
SAP implementation?

A: PepsiCo’s multi-year technology transformation initiative 
continues on track. At the end of 2007, we kicked off our 
third major deployment by successfully implementing new 
capabilities to PCNA and the Quaker, Tropicana and 
Gatorade businesses. These implementations build on earlier 
SAP releases, enhancing the order management and demand 
planning functions for the Quaker, Tropicana and Gatorade 
businesses and deliver new capability to PCNA’s fountain 
equipment service model. They also lay the groundwork to 
convert all of the financial processes, contracts and projects 
to SAP technology. 

On the international front we went live with SAP financials at 
Gamesa and Sabritas and launched our first plant in Saltillo, 
Mexico; successfully integrated our Duyvis acquisition onto 
our new global platform; and launched China Beverages. 
We are working toward 2008 implementations in Egypt and 
Saudi Arabia.

We remain confident in the capabilities and business case 
that our transformation initiative will deliver.

Q: PepsiCo’s businesses generate a lot of cash, and some 
people may believe the company’s balance sheet is conser-
vative. Will investors see any changes in capital structure, 
acquisition activity or increased share repurchases?

A: PepsiCo does generate considerable cash, and we are 
disciplined about how cash is reinvested in the business. Over 
the past three years, over $6 billion has been reinvested in 
the businesses through capital expenditures to fuel growth. 
All cash not reinvested in the business is returned to our 
shareholders. Since 2005, $16 billion has been returned to 
shareholders through a combination of dividends and share 
repurchases; and in 2007, cash returned to shareholders was 
up 34%. We will generally use our borrowing capacity in 
order to fund acquisitions — which was the case in 2007, 
when we spent $1.3 billion in acquisitions to enhance our 
future growth and create value for our shareholders. Our 
current capital structure and debt ratings give us ready access 
to capital markets and keep our cost of borrowing down. 

Q: In 2007, you expanded your joint venture agreements 
with Starbucks and Unilever. Does this represent a new 
growth model for PepsiCo?

A: We have great partnerships on ready-to-drink beverages, 
with both Starbucks and Unilever. If what it takes to win in 
a certain marketplace is to partner with other brands and 
together make the pie much bigger, then we will apply that 
model to grow our businesses.

A key factor in these successful partnerships is that PepsiCo 
is not simply a distributor. The development of these brands 
is included in the partnerships between our companies on a 
worldwide scale, and that certainly distinguishes our model. 

Growth will also come from the enormous opportunities 
we see for tuck-in acquisitions. We are also expanding into 
adjacent categories through our recently announced acquisi-
tion of Penelopa nuts and seeds in Bulgaria and our 2006 
purchase of the Duyvis nuts business in Europe. Last year, we 
entered the salty snacks business in New Zealand with the 

acquisition of Bluebird Foods, and we expanded our snacks 
business in Brazil with the purchase of Lucky snacks. We also 
recently announced a joint venture with the Strauss Group to 
produce and sell Sabra refrigerated dips and spreads in the 
United States and Canada. In 2007, Sabra was the top-selling 
and fastest-growing maker of hummus in the United States. 
And we expanded our global juice footprint by acquiring 
U.S.-based Naked Juice, and the Sandora juice business in 
the Ukraine, which we purchased in a joint venture with 
PepsiAmericas. 

So there are tremendous opportunities for us to continue to 
grow — through partnerships, as well as organically, and with 
tuck-in acquisitions.

OUR NEW BUSINESS 
STRUCTURE 

In the fourth quarter of 2007, 
PepsiCo announced a strategic 
realignment of our organiza-
tional structure. Beginning in 
2008, we are now organized into 
three business units, as follows:

1)  PepsiCo Americas Foods 

(PAF), which includes 
Frito-Lay North America, 
Quaker Foods North America 
and all of our Latin America 
food and snack businesses, 
including our Sabritas and 
Gamesa businesses in Mexico.

2)  PepsiCo Americas 

Beverages (PAB), which 
includes PepsiCo Beverages 
North America and all of 
our Latin America beverage 
businesses.

3)  PepsiCo International (PI), 
which includes all PepsiCo 
businesses in the United 
Kingdom, Europe, Asia, 
Middle East and Africa.

The financial section of this annual 
report (pages 31-86) is based on the 2007 
reporting structure.  Turn to pages 12-17 
of this annual report for highlights of 
the successes and capabilities of the new 
business structure, as shared by the CEOs 
of PAF, PAB and PI.

PepsiCo Americas Foods

PepsiCo Americas Foods (PAF) 
may be new in terms of 
geography and organizational 
structure, but there’s nothing new about 
our success. PAF brings together a group 
of big, vibrant businesses like Frito-Lay 
and Quaker Foods in North America, 
Sabritas and Gamesa in Mexico and 
Elma Chips in Brazil. Collectively, they 
market and sell some of the world’s 
most popular snack and food brands.

These businesses have been 
making major contributions to 
PepsiCo’s growth for many years. 

Our success is built on several advan-
tages — some structural and some 
cultural. First, by keeping our ears 
to the ground and our eyes on the 
marketplace, we have been able to 

innovate and market our brands better 
than most. Second, our scale and verti-
cal integration provide us advantages 
in manufacturing, warehousing and 
distribution. Third, our go-to-market sys-
tems provide ubiquitous reach, putting 
our brands virtually wherever consumers 
live, work and play. We operate over 
35,000 direct-to-store selling routes 
and have access to a scaled warehouse 
and third-party distributors. Finally, and 
most importantly, we have the cultural 
advantage of having all of our associates 
empowered to make a difference. 

Our Performance with Purpose journey 
has many great 2007 highlights:

(cid:129)  Frito-Lay North America (FLNA) 

is PAF’s largest operating division 
and had another tremendous year. 
Revenue grew 7%, led by double-
digit growth in Doritos snacks, 
multipacks, dips and SunChips 
snacks. Additionally, we continued 
to extend beyond the core by intro-
ducing Flat Earth baked fruit and 
vegetable crisps. And Stacy’s pita 
chips is the fastest-growing 
brand in the fast-growing salty 
snacks category.

(cid:129)  Quaker Foods North America had 

solid revenue growth of 5% driven 
by our hot cereals business. 

(cid:129)  Sabritas continued to perform very 
well with operations in Mexico, 
Central America and the Caribbean. 
Strong sales results were comple-
mented by record-high productivity 
savings and employee advancements 
throughout the region. 

(cid:129)  Mexico’s Gamesa-Quaker business 
posted exceptionally strong volume 
and share growth, with premium 
cookies leading the way. 

(cid:129)  Finally, our South America foods 

business — which includes 
operations in Brazil, Argentina, 
Colombia, Peru and Venezuela — 
grew organically and via acquisition, 
through the purchase of the Lucky 
snacks business in Brazil.

So, where do we grow from here?
Convenience and health and wellness 
will continue to drive consumers to our 
snack and food offerings. We have a 
balanced portfolio of fun and nutritious 
products with new additions like True 
North nut snacks and Quaker Simple 
Harvest Multigrain Hot Cereal. And we 
are introducing a new line of premium, 
wholesome cookies and snacks under 
the Quaker trademark. These are in 
addition to our usual strong offerings 
from brands like Doritos, Sabritas and 
Elma Chips. 

Our greatest source of growth 
will continue to come from the 
engagement of our people. 

Our new PAF structure provides oppor-
tunities to quickly share best practices 
and scale regional successes. We have 
a terrific team of diverse and devoted 

people who are committed to winning 
wherever and however we operate — 
from seed to shelf — while taking care 
of the world around us.

We’re focused on delivering 
Performance with Purpose throughout 
the Americas. In PAF 
parlance, that’s savory food 
for thought.

Rejuvenating, replenishing, 
restoring, refreshing consumers’ 
thirst all over the Americas 440 
million times a day is what we do 

in PepsiCo Americas Beverages (PAB).

Across the United States, Canada and 
Latin America, PAB is shaped around 
great people, great brands and great 
consumer insights. We enjoy the 
number-one or -two share position 
in virtually every market in which we 
compete, and we continue to push 
the innovation envelope into emerging 
growth categories. Our powerful go-to-
market systems allow fast and flexible 
service across multiple trade channels.

Here are some examples of how we 
performed in 2007:

(cid:129)  PAB already has North America’s 

foremost non-carbonated beverage 
lineup. Growing our leadership 
positions in water, enhanced waters 
and isotonics, we’re focused on 
building on our hydration advan-
tage. Including restaged SoBe Life 
Water, reformulated Aquafina Alive, 
the full Propel line, Gatorade Thirst 
Quencher and low-calorie G2 — the 
single-biggest new product innova-
tion in Gatorade’s history — we now 
have the industry’s biggest, most 
comprehensive hydration portfolio, 
outselling our nearest competitor by 
a factor of nearly two to one.

(cid:129)  What’s more, we’ve signed legend-

ary golfer Tiger Woods to develop a 
signature line of sports performance 
beverages. Representing the first-
ever licensing deal for the Gatorade 
brand and Tiger Woods’ first-ever 
endorsed sports beverage, Gatorade 
Tiger, the first product in the new 
line, hit store shelves in March 2008.

(cid:129)  Leveraging consumers’ inherent 

love of bubbles, we also have been 
working to reinvent carbonated soft 
drinks and provide greater variety 
in North America. Diet Pepsi Max, 
for example, is a great-tasting, 
zero-calorie cola with ginseng and 
extra caffeine to provide a kick of 
energy — a real point of difference. 
Launched in January 2008, Tava 
is another unique carbonated soft 

drink proposition. It’s a zero-calorie, 
zero-caffeine sparkling beverage 
in three exotic flavor blends. Light, 
crisp-tasting Tava is fortified with 
essential vitamins, minerals, and 
antioxidants, including Vitamins B6, 
E, Niacin and Chromium.

(cid:129)  Answering the call for better-for-
you innovation at the breakfast 
table (and beyond), we successfully 
launched Tropicana Pure Premium 
Healthy Heart — the United States’ 
first national orange juice fortified 
with Omega-3 fatty acids.

(cid:129)  In Argentina and Brazil, 7UP H2Oh! 
— a lightly carbonated, distinctively 
flavored water — is a sensational 
new product that could easily 
become a global success.

There are countless other examples of 
what we’re doing north and south of 
the border — initiatives that will allow 
us to selectively seize multicultural 
marketing opportunities in the United 
States and elsewhere. 

Breakthrough marketing is 
putting our brands where 
they belong — at the core of 
pop culture. 

We are leveraging the world’s most 
interactive communications environment 
to get there, creating unprecedented 
consumer “buzz” via internet blogs, 
online video views and interactive 
promotions.

Wherever we operate, we’re offering an 
increasingly diverse portfolio of product 
choices to more and more variety-con-
scious consumers. Prevailing trends such 
as health and wellness will continue to 
drive our portfolio transformation and 
lead to growth opportunities like our 
acquisition of Naked Juice in 2007. Our 
R&D and marketing teams understand 
we have to move quickly to invest 
in better-for-you and good-for-you 
products, which is now reflected in our 
innovation pipeline.

Going forward, we will continue to 
invest in marketing and insights to build 
our competitive advantage and acceler-
ate future growth. We have only begun

PepsiCo International

2007 was a year of exciting 
progress for PepsiCo International, 
marked by strong financial results 
and important gains in the marketplace. 
Once again PI was the largest con-
tributor to PepsiCo’s revenue and profit 
growth in 2007.

I am particularly proud of our 
2007 performance because we 
built a strong foundation for 
future growth. 

We completed acquisitions in 2007 that 
are expected to add over $1 billion to 
our 2008 revenues. Importantly, they 
also advance the strategic transforma-
tion of our international portfolio. 
We also made major investments to 
transform our information systems and 
capability to be better equipped to 
support and enable further growth. 

To convey the breadth of our progress, 
let me share a few 2007 highlights:

(cid:129)  We dramatically strengthened our 
non-carbonated beverage portfolio 
by expanding our successful Unilever 
tea partnership and launching 
an international joint venture 
for Starbucks ready-to-drink 
coffee products.

(cid:129)  In the United Kingdom, our Baked 
Walkers crisps, with 70% less fat 
than original Walkers, was declared 
“New Product of the Year” by 
Marketing Week magazine; while 
an important turnaround in bever-
age volume led to mid-single-digit 
volume growth. 

(cid:129)  We continued our portfolio transfor-
mation in Europe with the launch of 
Baked Lay’s crisps and integration of 
Duyvis nuts. We also enjoyed strong 
growth in non-carbonated drinks, 
complemented by the acquisition, 
with PepsiAmericas, of Ukraine’s 
leading juice company.

(cid:129)  In Russia, annual beverage volume 
reached more than 200 million 
cases, while we strengthened our 
leadership in savory snacks and 
broke ground on our second 
snack plant.

(cid:129)  In the Middle East, zero-calorie 

Pepsi Max posted strong growth, 
and Mountain Dew surged ahead 
in markets like Nigeria and Pakistan; 
the Lay’s brand helped drive contin-
ued share gains in Turkey, while the 
Doritos brand drove healthy growth 
in Egypt.

(cid:129)  In Asia, new marketing drove 

double-digit growth in non-sugar 
colas in virtually all markets; and 
new locally tailored flavors sparked 
strong growth in savory snacks, 
particularly in China and Thailand.

For all our progress, we still have 
enormous room to grow. 

Under PepsiCo’s new organization, PI 
today offers a diverse portfolio of scale 
businesses with critical mass and solid 
profit margins, spanning the United 
Kingdom, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, 
Australia and Africa. This is a vast area 
comprising 86% of the Earth’s popula-
tion and 45 of the 50 fastest-growing 
economies — not only China, India and 
Russia, but many smaller, fast-growing 
markets like Vietnam, Pakistan, Turkey 
and Eastern Europe. 

Our business is well-balanced between 
developed and developing nations. 
And our expanding product portfolio, 
offering benefits ranging from simple 
refreshment to basic nutrition, positions 
us well to serve a wide range of 
consumer needs.

I’m confident we’ll fulfill 
PI’s mission, thanks to our 
outstanding team of PI associates

Power of One

“ Given shifting population movement around the world, 
our largest customers encourage PepsiCo Power of One 
teams to fully leverage our diverse global portfolio to 
accelerate growth. We dive deep to understand the 
unique shoppers of each strategic customer, which 
enables a greater flow of innovative and customized 
product solutions. We then leverage our portfolio to drive 
sales and profit growth for PepsiCo and our retail partners

Profi t is where PepsiCo’s responsibility begins, not ends.

Throughout our long history of delivering profit and performance for 
shareholders, a deep sense of purpose has been embedded in every-
thing we do. It represents the fundamental commitment we have 
embraced for years — to give back as we grow. This is a continuing 
journey that spans three major areas of focus — human sustainability, 
environmental sustainability and talent sustainability.

Nourishing our consumers with a range of fun and healthy products, and 
making the healthful choice an easier choice.

Replenishing the natural resources we can, and minimizing the impact we 
have on our environment.

Cherishing our employees, and making PepsiCo the most desirable place for 
people of all backgrounds to establish personal and professional growth.

PepsiCo has made considerable progress 
on each of these priorities, from our 
industry-leading product labeling with 
the Smart Spot program in 2004, to last 
year’s purchase of renewable energy cer-
tificates, to our 2008 launch of PepsiCo 
University to develop tomorrow’s multi-
cultural/multigenerational leaders. 

As a member of the Dow Jones 
Sustainability World Index (DJSI World) 
and the Dow Jones Sustainability North 
America Index (DJSI North America), 
PepsiCo is a recognized leader in 
sustainability. The DJSI World comprises 
the top 10% of the world’s 2,500 
largest companies based on corporate 
economic, environmental and social 
performance. The DJSI North America 
captures the leading 20% of companies 
in sustainability out of the largest 600 
North American companies of the Dow 
Jones Global Index.

To nourish consumers is our fundamental commitment. 
It begins with product innovation and transformation, 
extends to marketing and labeling commitments that 
make the smart choice an easy choice for consumers, 
and continues with support for research and develop-
ment programs to advance public health around the 
world. Finally, we balance the entire energy equation 
through community outreach programs designed to 
empower and motivate consumers to adopt healthier, 
more active lifestyles.

Product Innovation 

We have been reinventing our brands 
to meet consumer needs for healthier 
lifestyles since we introduced Diet Pepsi 
in 1964. 

As we grow, PepsiCo will continue our 
transformation with a systematic plan to 
reduce sodium, added sugar and satu-
rated fats in our products. We start with 
science and authoritative statements 
from the World Health Organization, 
the Food and Drug Administration and 
the U.S. National Academy of Sciences 
for identifying how we should best 
focus our efforts. We then look at 
nutrition-based standards including total 
calories, fat, carbohydrate and protein 
as well as vitamins and minerals, and 
then reformulate our products to offer 
smart choices that contribute to an 
overall healthier diet and lifestyle. We 
don’t stop there, because we also look 
for ways to add wholesome ingredients, 
such as fruit, whole grains and fiber to 
many of our products.

Our transformation as a good company 
with nourishing products, from snacks 
to healthier treats, gained momentum 
across all of our businesses in 2007:

(cid:129)  We reduced saturated fats in our 
Frito-Lay potato chip and Walkers 
crisp brands, by converting to 
sunflower oil.  

(cid:129)  We expanded our baked snacks in 
Brazil and introduced low-fat bread 
snacks in Chile, Puerto Rico, Spain, 
Turkey and Saudi Arabia.

(cid:129)  Tropicana promoted cardiovascular 

health, by becoming the first 
national orange juice to include 
Omega-3s, the fatty acids known for 
helping to promote heart health. 
(cid:129)  Frito-Lay introduced Flat Earth fruit 
and vegetable crisps that combine 
great taste and nutrition in a break-
through snack with a ½ serving of 
fruits or vegetables baked into 
each ounce. 

Quaker Mini Delights multi-
grain cakes are for calorie-con-
scious consumers who say they’re 

looking for a satisfying snack option that 
tastes great and helps them stay on track. 
Mini Delights bring three new benefits to 
the snack category: taste indulgence, 
90-calorie portion packs and plenty 
of pieces in every pouch. 

(cid:129)  Our Gamesa-Quaker business in 
Mexico launched a new line of 
oat-based cookies and snacks, and 
our South Africa business launched 
a new health snack line called 
Sunbites pretzels.

Marketing and Labeling

Our commitment to nourish is fully 
embraced in our marketing and labeling 
programs around the world. Last year, 
PepsiCo was a founding member of 
a voluntary U.S. food and beverage 
industry initiative that redefined how we 
market products to children under 12. 
Today, less than 1% of PepsiCo’s total 
advertising budget in North America 
is allocated for advertising to kids, and 
100% of that advertising is devoted 
exclusively to Smart Spot products.  

PepsiCo Europe has recently made a 
similar advertising and school marketing 

20

With the addition of G2, a low-calorie 

lifestyle beverage, the broadened

Gatorade line meets the hydration needs of 
athletes and active people on a 24/7 basis. With 

just 25 calories per 8-oz serving, G2 helps keep 
people hydrated when they are not playing sports 
or exercising. More than 200 associates at PepsiCo’s 
Chicago office commemorated the product launch by 

creating a G2 living logo. 

pledge, and full implementation with 
independent monitoring of this new 
program will begin next year. 

And in the United Kingdom, in partner-
ship with dozens of other food and 
beverage companies and the Food 
and Drink Federation, PepsiCo has 
introduced front-of-package nutritional 
labeling across all its brands. The labels 
help consumers understand the percent-
age of their “Guideline Daily Amount 
(GDA)” of calories, sugars, fat, and salt 
that is contained in a portion of food 
or drink. GDAs are now being rolled 
out across PepsiCo Europe — all of our 
products in European Union countries 
will display GDAs by the end of 2008.

PepsiCo is also a founding member of 
the Keystone Center Food and Nutrition 
Roundtable, which seeks to drive 
improvements in the American diet 
and long-term improvements in public 
health; its current focus is to establish 
common front-of-package nutritional 
labeling to help consumers identify 
healthier choices. 

In 2006, PepsiCo joined with the 
Alliance for a Healthier Generation — a 
joint initiative of the American Heart 
Association and the William J. Clinton 
Foundation — and other leaders in 
the U.S food and beverage industries 
to adopt voluntary guidelines for the 
foods and beverages we offer to grade 
schools in the United States. As the only 
food and beverage company to have 
embraced both the beverage and food 

guidelines for 
schools, PepsiCo 
is taking the lead to 
provide healthier choices to kids.

As part of PepsiCo’s commitment, we 
agreed to remove full-calorie soft drinks 
from K-12 schools in the United States 
over three years. One year into our 
commitment, we have seen more than 
a 40% drop in the calories of beverages 
shipped to these schools.

Supporting Research and 
Development

The PepsiCo Foundation is deeply 
engaged in developing new partnership 
models which lead to healthier communi-
ties and new research insights. In the 
United States, the Foundation’s grant to 
Tufts University supported a groundbreak-
ing project that resulted in measurable 
improvements in school children’s body 
mass index. 

Last year, we announced a new PepsiCo 
Foundation grant of $5.2 million to the 
Oxford Health Alliance, for implementa-
tion and evaluation of community-based 
health interventions in China, England, 
India and Mexico, impacting more than 
two million people. The Foundation’s 
grant helped launch a program to 
enhance scientific knowledge about 
the effectiveness of community inter-
ventions in reducing the prevalence of 
chronic diseases. 

In the United States and 
Canada, our green Smart 
Spot packaging symbol 
makes it easier for consumers 
to identify products that can con-

tribute to healthier lifestyles. All PepsiCo products 
carrying the Smart Spot symbol meet nutrition cri-
teria based on authoritative statements from the 
U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the 
National Academy of Sciences or provide other 
functional benefits. 

Getting Active through 
Community Outreach

PepsiCo is committed to helping people 
achieve energy balance through physical 
activity. 

In China for example, PepsiCo intro-
duced a “Sports and Music” promotion 
to encourage people to participate in 
sports; and the U.S.-based Gatorade 
Sport Science Institute established a 
branch in China to help Chinese 
athletes improve performance through 
scientific research.

Blue Ribbon Advisory Board

Our Smart Spot Dance program in the 
United States launched a multi-city 
instructional dance program to provide a 
fun way for families, especially moms, to 
become more physically active. 

The PepsiCo Blue Ribbon Advisory Board delivers high-level, 
independent insight about major health and wellness policies. It also 
offers science-based perspectives on product transformation, labeling 
and marketing and provides guidance on partnerships that promote 
physical activity.

PepsiCo International Mexico launched 
the Vive Saludable Escuelas Health and 
Wellness program, an initiative to teach 
kids how to work towards a healthier life-
style by combining daily physical activity 
and a balanced diet. Each student worked 
with interactive software that taught 
them about the calories in/calories out 
equation. Students were taught a daily 
physical education routine designed by 
Mexico’s Sports Commission and imple-
mented by teachers at each school. The 
program will impact one million children 
in 3,000 schools throughout Mexico.

“ Frito-Lay uses the energy from the sun in so many ways.  Many of our products are distributed 
through our Phoenix, Arizona distribution center, where we have solar panels on the roof that 
generate electricity; and we are installing solar collectors at our plant in Modesto, California to 
provide up to 75% of the thermal energy the plant uses to make SunChips snacks in that location. 
As a six-year member of the Frito-Lay sales organization, I’m glad to work for a company that is 
finding many ways to use renewable energy.”
—  Carrie Carroll, National Account Manager, Frito-Lay North America

We strive to replenish the resources we’ve used, where possible, as part of our commitment to being an 
environmentally responsible corporate citizen. Our associates are passionate about this vision and continue 
to drive programs to reduce our energy and water consumption, invest in new energy research and 
improve our packaging sustainability.

We have proven that extraordinary 
results are possible. Frito-Lay has 
reduced per-pound water use by more 
than 38%, manufacturing fuels by more    
than 27% and electricity by more than 
21% since 1999; and our Quaker, 
Tropicana and Gatorade businesses have 
reduced manufacturing fuels by 26%, 
electricity by 24% and water by 12% in 
the last three years.

We’re achieving similar results in markets 
outside the United States. In Mexico, our 
Sabritas team has cut per-unit electricity use 
by more than 9% over the past five years, 
and water use by 26%. In China, our bot-
tling plants have reduced water consump-
tion by 40% and energy consumption by 
38% over the past three years.

Throughout the world, we have similar 
stories that demonstrate how we are 
taking this responsibility seriously, 
because it is the right thing to do, but 
also because it’s the smart thing to do for 
more efficient use of energy, water and 
packaging in our business operations.

Conserving Energy and 
Harnessing Renewable Resources

2007 was a year of considerable prog-
ress for PepsiCo, beginning with exter-
nal partnerships and programs focused 
on renewable energy and strategies to 
reduce greenhouse gas emissions. 

PepsiCo joined the U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency (EPA) Climate 
Leaders, a voluntary partnership pro-
gram that works to develop comprehen-
sive climate change strategies, including 
supporting reduction in greenhouse 
gases. And we were the first consumer 
products company to join with other 
concerned companies and non-
governmental organizations in the U.S. 
Climate Action Partnership to encourage 
the federal government to enact climate 
legislation. These programs make good 
commercial sense for us and help us use 
our resources well. 

We are also proud of PepsiCo’s land-
mark purchase of renewable energy 
certificates. This financial instrument 
stimulates and supports the develop-
ment of renewable electricity, and our 
investment matches the purchased elec-
tricity, used by all of PepsiCo U.S.-based 
manufacturing facilities, headquarters, 
distribution centers and regional offices. 

Our three-year purchase of more than 
one billion kilowatt-hours annually is the 
same amount of electricity needed to 
power nearly 90,000 average American 
homes annually, as estimated by the U.S. 
EPA based on national averages. 

We are already implementing many of 
our own renewable energy operations. 
In 2007, we announced major renew-
able energy projects including plans for 
our “net zero” plant in Casa Grande, 
Arizona. With plans to run almost 
entirely on renewable fuels and recycled 
water, this plant is scheduled to begin 
production by 2010. 

Frito-Lay North America flipped the 
switch last year on the largest business-
owned, photovoltaic power system in 
Arizona. Producing no emissions, the 
system captures the energy of one of 
Arizona’s abundant natural resources 
— turning the power of the sun into 
electricity. It incorporates a 201-kilowatt 
photovoltaic array covering 27,000 
square feet of roof space at the com-
pany’s service center in Phoenix. PepsiCo 
has already installed photovoltaic 
systems in six other distribution centers, 
from California to New York.

Walkers is the first major food brand in the world to display a carbon footprint/reduction logo on 
its packs. The label was developed by the Carbon Trust, a U.K.-government-funded independent 
organization that works to accelerate the move to a low-carbon economy. 
Walkers has had a partnership with the Trust since 2001 and has
reduced energy use per pack by a third and water use by 

almost half. One step in reducing carbon was sourcing the 
potatoes domestically to reduce the transport miles. 

The Walkers advertising campaign highlights that the 
brand now uses 100% Great British potatoes.

24

Our bottlers are also sourcing power 
from the sun. In 2007, The Pepsi-Cola 
Bottling Company of Eugene installed 
a 250-kilowatt solar electric system in 
their Oregon facility, which is now the 
second-largest photovoltaic system in 
the Pacific Northwest. The renewable 
energy generated from this system is 
the equivalent to the average annual 
energy consumption of approximately 
21 Eugene homes and has a regional 
carbon dioxide offset of about 140 tons 
per year. 

Projects in other regions went live last 
year as well. PepsiCo India launched our 

PepsiCo has seven photovoltaic-
powered distribution centers.

first remote wind turbine, harnessing 
one of the most efficient, clean and 
renewable sources of energy. This 
turbine is connected to the public 
electricity grid with sufficient power to 
meet more than 75% of the electricity 
needs of the company’s local Mamandur 
plant, and it directly offsets up to 7% of 
our company-owned bottling operations’ 
power requirements for 2008. The initia-
tive is estimated to help reduce carbon 
emissions by more than 3,500 tons 
annually, with the potential to offset 
70,000 tons of carbon emissions over its 
entire 20-year life cycle.

Improving Access to Water

PepsiCo is addressing the world’s water 
challenge at all levels of our influence.

In 2007, we announced support for 
global initiatives that seek to improve 
access to water. These include the CEO 
Water Mandate, a partnership with the 

international community to address 
water issues both in our own opera-
tions and our supply chain. We also 
affirmed support for the UN Millennium 
Development goals, which have 
wide-ranging ramifications for water 
programs.

In China and India, the PepsiCo 
Foundation is helping to change the 
lives of an increasing number of people 
through our support of organizations 
that are focused on building sustainable 
water practices, including the Chinese 
Women’s Development Foundation 
and The Energy and Resources Institute 
in India.

In early 2008, PepsiCo announced 
a partnership between the PepsiCo 
Foundation and the Earth Institute at 
Columbia University, one of the world’s 
premier institutions dedicated to global 
sustainable development. And the com-
pany announced a commitment to H2O 
Africa, a foundation focused on clean 
water initiatives in Africa. 

Building a Lifecycle of 
Environmentally Responsible 
Packaging

We have formed a Sustainable 
Packaging Council to develop a 
roadmap that will guide us toward 
achieving packaging systems that are 
environmentally responsible throughout 
their entire lifecycle.

Although beverage containers like ours 
are the most recycled consumer packag-
ing in the United States, and they are 
designed for recycling, we continue to 
look for ways to reduce the amount of 
packaging used for our products. And 
we are achieving success. For example, 
Pepsi’s soft drink bottles contain 10% 

recycled content, the weight of a two-
liter polyethylene terephthalate (PET) 
soft drink bottle has been reduced by 
39% since 1980, and our Aquafina 500 
ml PET bottle weight has been reduced 
by more than a third since 2000.

We also team with business and 
community partners to encourage 
reuse and recycling.

We continued our partnership for 
a second year with Sam’s Club and 
Keep America Beautiful to “Return the 
Warmth,” collecting and recycling over 
70 million PET bottles via schools, and 
giving away over 25,000 backpacks 
made from recycled PET.

PepsiCo put a spotlight on recycling 
at the Live Earth New York concert by 
making it easy for people to recycle 
their bottles and cans and by offering 
information about how they can make 
recycling a part of their everyday lives.
Our commitment to environmental 
responsibility extends across the globe. 
One highly successful program is our 
PepsiCo India partnership with Exnora 
International, an environmental non-
governmental organization, to manage 
domestic solid waste. The program 
was recognized by UNICEF as a 
model project and as a center for inter-
national learning. 

Looking into the future, PepsiCo teams 
are developing innovative packaging 
solutions which include cutting-edge 
technologies for even more environmen-
tally friendly packaging.

25

By inspiring, challenging and cherishing our associates, we’re 
making PepsiCo a company where coming to work means more 
than just having a job. And that’s important in today’s marketplace 
because global competition for talent has never been more intense. 
Companies that win provide the best opportunities for personal and 
professional growth. 

PepsiCo already has some of the very 
best talent in our industry, thanks to our 
industry-leading people processes. But 
as we evolve to meet future business 
needs, we must also continue to evolve 
our approach to recruiting, developing, 
rewarding and retaining our associates. 
We made excellent progress toward this 
objective in 2007 by enhancing 
our focus on “people results,” and 
further defining key ways to: nurture 
talent, empower people, and expand 
opportunities for diversity and inclusion. 

Nurturing Talent: Our Greatest 
Sustainable Advantage

Our people are our greatest strength. 
Without great people, we can’t deliver 
great results for the long term. By focus-
ing on the continuing development of 
our associates and their ability to work 
effectively together, we believe we will 
maximize PepsiCo’s performance and be 
even better positioned to build on our 
current success in the marketplace. 

We reinforced our people priorities in 
2007 by changing how we evaluate 
performance, giving equal weight to 
the achievement of people results and 
business results. This new 50/50 balance 
of goals and objectives is designed to 

ensure that an associate focuses on 
the growth and development of the 
team as well as him or herself, while 
equally focusing on achieving business 
results. Putting accountability and 50/50 
weighting to people priorities helps nur-
ture PepsiCo’s already strong culture of 
diversity and inclusion where people feel 
valued and respected for their unique 
talents, perspectives and experiences.

Empowering People with 
Clear Expectations

Knowing what’s expected of us — and 
everyone around us — helps us act with 
responsibility, trust and understanding 
of how leadership and individual per-
formance are rewarded. As a guide for 
associates in all functions and at all lev-
els of our organization, we introduced 
the PepsiCo Leadership and Individual 
Effectiveness Model in 2007. By com-
municating what’s important at PepsiCo 
and what we value from each of our 
associates, we are helping to shape an 
unrivaled corporate environment that 
provides our company with the ultimate 
competitive advantage.

The model details the key competen-
cies and associated behaviors that are 
required — individually and collectively 

— to assure we reach our performance 
goals. Regardless of current role, level 
or career aspiration, every associate can 
use the model to understand which 
behaviors they should strive for today 
and what will contribute to their own 
personal success, as well as success 
for PepsiCo.

Expanding Opportunities through 
Diversity and Inclusion

We believe a sense of belonging in our 
professional lives is just as important 
as it is in our personal relationships; it 
builds trust, encourages teamwork and 
collaboration, and enables the free shar-
ing of ideas that helps us develop, grow 
and innovate. This is why we continue 
to grow our efforts to promote diversity 
and inclusion around the globe.

PepsiCo and its bottler community
achieved 2007 spending of 
approximately $1.13 billion 
with U.S. minority-owned and 
women-owned suppliers, 
marking the fifth consecutive 
year of double-digit growth in 
supplier diversity spending.

In the United States, our Diversity and 
Inclusion Networks promote a culture 
where everyone feels they have an equal 
opportunity to contribute and succeed. 
Each of our U.S. groups is represented 
at senior levels by an executive reporting 
directly to the chief executive officer. 
The groups include African Americans, 
Latinos/Hispanics, Asians, Native 
Americans, Women, Gay/Lesbian/
Bisexual/Transgender, Women of Color, 
Support Team/Non-exempt and EnAble, 
for individuals with different abilities. In 
2007, we added a group dedicated to 

26

associates continue developing the job-
related and management skills that are 
needed to drive innovation and growth 
for the future.

Also beginning in 2008, we will align 
our 360-degree feedback process with 
the PepsiCo Leadership and Individual 
Effectiveness Model to make it more 
robust and ensure that leaders know 
and understand what’s expected of 
them. As a new and significantly valu-
able addition, we will combine the 
360-degree process with other feedback 
tools to further build self-awareness and 
provide participants with rich, 
one-on-one developmental feedback 
from trained and certified facilitators. 

Today that spirit is alive and well, inspir-
ing PepsiCo’s diverse and innovative 
workforce to contribute their best 
thinking in taking diversity and inclusion 
to the next level — while continuing 
to bring their insights to delivering 
innovative products for our consumers, 
retail customers, and the broad range 
of constituents we serve. An EnAble 
team demonstrated that spirit recently 
by producing and starring in “Bob’s 
House,” a silent but attention-getting 
television commercial that appeared on 
the FOX network’s pre-game show for 
Super Bowl XLII. 

Sharpening Our Focus on Employee 
Learning and Development

Everyone at PepsiCo, from our newest 
associates to seasoned senior managers, 
has a responsibility to continue his or her 
own development journey by improving 
both personal and professional effec-
tiveness. In 2008, with the launch of 
PepsiCo University, we will help 

“ The commercial provided consumers with a true glimpse into the 
real culture of PepsiCo, because when we talk about diversity and 
inclusion it is not just lip service, it is part of our belief and core.” 
— Clay Broussard, creator, “Bob’s House” commercial

ensuring that white males are included 
as an integral part of our diversity and 
inclusion journey. In that same year, 
diversity and inclusion councils were 
successfully established in all four 
continents of our PepsiCo International 
business — focusing on delivering locally 
relevant, regional diversity and inclusion 
strategies and plans.

In January 2007, we initiated the Steve 
Reinemund Diversity and Inclusion 
Leadership Legacy Award to honor lead-
ers who champion diversity and inclu-
sion over time. The award, named for 
our former chairman, who was a relent-
less champion for diversity, is presented 
to leaders who move PepsiCo to new 
levels of diversity and inclusion accom-
plishments and behaviors. This award 
is in addition to the Harvey C. Russell 
Inclusion Award, introduced in 2003, 
which is presented to associates at all 
levels of the business in recognition of 
their distinctive achievements in diversity 
and inclusion. The award is named after 
Harvey C. Russell, who broke America’s 
color barrier when he became a vice 
president of PepsiCo in 1962 — the first 
African American executive at a Fortune 
500 company. 

Filmed entirely in American Sign Language, the 
“Bob’s House” commercial was inspired by 
EnAble’s mission to make PepsiCo the employer 
of choice, partner of choice and brand of choice 
for people with different abilities. Response 
was overwhelming with nearly 850,000 views 
on video-sharing sites before it aired, a host of 
“thank you” videos posted on YouTube by the 
deaf community and mentions in over 3,000 
blogs after it aired.

“ Since PepsiCo’s African American Advisory Board was formed in 1999, our members 
have provided valuable counsel to the company on a range of issues including reaching 
a more diverse consumer base, creating a more diverse workforce and strengthening its 
relationship with the community. We are pleased with the results. During our years of 
involvement, PepsiCo has increased the number of minorities in its management ranks 
and increased spending with minority-owned businesses.”

“ As a founding member of the PepsiCo Latino/Hispanic Advisory Board, I am honored to repre-
sent a group that provides the company with diverse points of view, which benefit consumers, 
PepsiCo and the communities in which it operates. These perspectives influence new products and 
marketing. We also provide insights to assist retailers with the effective planning of promotional 
outreach, product mix and support of healthier lifestyles. Because so much change is occurring in 
demographic mix and in lifestyle trends, our input helps to ensure that the tastes of consumers are 
met and that diverse talent is identified for employment opportunities.”

 Our Operations

We are a leading global snack and bever-

and sell a variety of salty, convenient, 
sweet and grain-based snacks, carbonated 
and non-carbonated beverages and foods. 
Our commitment to sustainable growth,

munities we serve. This includes meet-
ing consumer needs for a spectrum of 
convenient foods and beverages, reducing 
our impact on the environment through 
water, energy and packaging initiatives, 
and supporting our employees through 
a diverse and inclusive culture that 
recruits and retains world-class talent. In 
September 2007, we were again included 
on the Dow Jones Sustainability North 
America Index and were also added to 
the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index. 
These lists are compiled annually.

(cid:129) 
(cid:129) 

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 U.S. and Canada. Our international 

Frito-Lay North America
Frito-Lay North America (FLNA) manu-
factures or uses contract manufacturers, 
markets, sells and distributes branded 
snacks. These snacks include Lay’s potato 
chips, Doritos tortilla chips, Tostitos tortilla 
chips, Cheetos cheese fl avored snacks, 
branded dips, Fritos corn chips, Ruffl es 
potato chips, Quaker Chewy granola bars, 
SunChips multigrain snacks, Rold Gold 
pretzels, Santitas tortilla chips, Grandma’s 
cookies, Frito-Lay nuts, Munchies snack 
mix, Gamesa cookies, Funyuns onion fl a-
vored rings, Quaker Quakes corn and rice 
snacks, Miss Vickie’s potato chips, Stacy’s 
pita chips, Smartfood popcorn, Chester’s 
fries, branded crackers and Flat Earth 
crisps. FLNA branded products are sold to 
independent distributors and retailers. 

PepsiCo Beverages North America
PepsiCo Beverages North America (PBNA) 
manufactures or uses contract manu-
facturers, markets and sells beverage 
concentrates, fountain syrups and fi nished 
goods, under various beverage brands 
including Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Gatorade, 
Tropicana Pure Premium, Sierra Mist, 
Propel, Tropicana juice drinks, Dole, SoBe 
Life Water, Naked juice and Izze. PBNA 
also manufactures or uses contract manu-
facturers, markets and sells ready-to-drink 

tea, coffee and water products through 
joint ventures with Unilever (under the 
Lipton brand name) and Starbucks. In 
addition, PBNA licenses the Aquafi na 
water brand to its bottlers and markets 
this brand. PBNA sells concentrate and 
fi nished goods for some of these brands 
to authorized bottlers, and some of these 
branded products are sold directly by us 
to independent distributors and retailers. 
The bottlers sell our brands as fi nished 
goods to independent distributors and 
retailers. PBNA’s volume refl ects sales to its 
independent distributors and retailers, as 
well as the sales of beverages bearing our 
trademarks that bottlers have reported 
as sold to independent distributors and 
retailers. Bottler case sales (BCS) and 
concentrate shipments and equivalents 
(CSE) are not necessarily equal during any 
given period due to seasonality, timing 
of product launches, product mix, bottler 
inventory practices and other factors. 
While our revenues are not based on
BCS volume, we believe that BCS is a 
valuable measure as it measures the 
sell-through of our products at the con-
sumer level.

PepsiCo International
PepsiCo International (PI) manufactures 
through consolidated businesses as well 
as through noncontrolled affi liates, a 
number of leading salty and sweet snack 
brands including Gamesa, Lay’s, Doritos, 
Walkers, Cheetos, Ruffl es and Sabritas. 
Further, PI manufactures or uses contract 
manufacturers, markets and sells many 

32

Quaker brand cereals and snacks. PI also 
manufactures, markets and sells bever-
age concentrates, fountain syrups and 
fi nished goods under the brands Pepsi, 
7UP, Mirinda, Mountain Dew, Gatorade 
and Tropicana. These brands are sold to 
authorized bottlers, independent distribu-
tors and retailers. However, in certain 
markets, PI operates its own bottling 
plants and distribution facilities. PI also 
manufactures or uses contract manufac-
turers, markets and sells ready-to-drink 
tea products through a joint venture with 
Unilever (under the Lipton brand name). 
In addition, PI licenses the Aquafi na water 
brand to certain of its authorized bottlers. 
PI reports two measures of volume. Snack 
volume is reported on a system-wide 
basis, which includes our own sales and 
the sales by our noncontrolled affi liates 
of snacks bearing Company-owned or 
licensed trademarks. Beverage volume 
refl ects Company-owned or autho-
rized bottler sales of beverages bearing 
Company-owned or licensed trademarks to 
independent distributors and retailers. BCS 
and CSE are not necessarily equal during 
any given period due to seasonality, timing 
of product launches, product mix, bottler 
inventory practices and other factors. While 

Our Customers

our revenues are not based on BCS volume, 
we believe that BCS is a valuable measure as 
it measures the sell-through of our products 
at the consumer level.

(3) PepsiCo International (PI), which 
includes all PepsiCo businesses in the 
United Kingdom, Europe, Asia, Middle 
East and Africa. 

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

New Organizational Structure
In the fourth quarter of 2007, we 
announced a strategic realignment of our 
organizational structure into three new 
business units, as follows: 

(1) PepsiCo Americas Foods (PAF), 

which includes FLNA, QFNA and all of our 
Latin American food and snack businesses 
(LAF), including our Sabritas and Gamesa 
businesses in Mexico;

(2) PepsiCo Americas Beverages (PAB), 
which includes PBNA and all of our Latin 
American beverage businesses; and

In the fourth quarter of 2007, we 
announced a strategic realignment 
of our organizational structure 
into three new business units: 
PAF, PAB and PI.

In 2008, our three business units will 
be comprised of six reportable segments, 
as follows:
(cid:129) 
 FLNA,
(cid:129) 
 QFNA,
(cid:129) 
 LAF,
(cid:129) 
 PAB,
(cid:129) 
 United Kingdom & Europe, and 
 Middle East, Africa & Asia. 
(cid:129) 
In the fi rst quarter of 2008, our historical 
segment reporting will be restated to refl ect 
the new structure. The segment amounts 
and discussions refl ected in this annual 
report refl ect the management reporting 
that existed through fi scal year-end 2007.

Our customers include authorized bottlers 
and independent distributors, including 
foodservice distributors, and retailers. 
We normally grant our bottlers exclusive 
contracts to sell and manufacture certain 
beverage products bearing our trade-
marks within a specifi c geographic area. 
These arrangements provide the Company 
with the right to charge our bottlers for 
concentrate, fi nished goods and Aquafi na 
royalties and specify the manufacturing 
process required for product quality.

Since we do not sell directly to the con-

sumer, we rely on and provide fi nancial 
incentives to our customers to assist in 
the distribution and promotion of our 
products. For our independent distribu-
tors and retailers, these incentives include 

volume-based rebates, product placement 
fees, promotions and displays. For our 
bottlers, these incentives are referred to as 
bottler funding and are negotiated annu-
ally 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 
incentives include coupons, pricing 
discounts and promotions, and other 
promotional offers. Advertising support 
is directed at advertising programs and 
supporting bottler media. New product 
support includes targeted consumer and 
retailer incentives and direct marketplace 
support, such as point-of-purchase mate-
rials, product placement fees, media and 

advertising. Vending and cooler 
equipment placement programs 
support the acquisition and placement 
of vending machines and cooler equip-
ment. The nature and type of programs 
vary annually. 

Retail consolidation continues to 

increase the importance of major custom-
ers. In 2007, sales to Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. 
(Wal-Mart), including Sam’s Club (Sam’s), 
represented approximately 12% of our 
total net revenue. Our top fi ve retail 
customers represented approximately 
31% of our 2007 North American net 
revenue, with Wal-Mart (including Sam’s) 
representing approximately 18%. These 
percentages include concentrate sales to 
our bottlers which are used in fi nished 

33

goods sold by them to these retailers. 
In addition, sales to The Pepsi Bottling 
Group (PBG) represented approximately 
9% of our total net revenue. See “Our 
Related Party Bottlers” and Note 8 for 
more information on our anchor bottlers.

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 economic ownership in our income 
statement as bottling equity income. 
We have designated three related party 
bottlers, PBG, PepsiAmericas, Inc. (PAS) 

Our anchor bottlers distribute 
approximately 58% of our North 
American beverage volume 
and approximately 18% of our 
international beverage volume.

and Pepsi Bottling Ventures LLC (PBV), as 
our anchor bottlers. Our anchor bottlers 
distribute approximately 58% of our 
North American beverage volume and 
approximately 18% of our international 
beverage volume. Our anchor bottlers 
participate in the bottler funding pro-
grams described above. Approximately 
6% of our total 2007 sales incentives are 
related to these bottlers. See Note 8 for 
additional information on these related 
parties and related party commitments 
and guarantees. 

Our Distribution Network

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

Direct-Store-Delivery
We, our bottlers and our distributors 
operate DSD systems that deliver snacks 
and beverages directly to retail stores 
where the products are merchandised 
by our employees or our bottlers. DSD 
enables us to merchandise with maximum 

visibility and appeal. DSD is especially 
well-suited to products that are restocked 
often and respond to in-store promotion 
and merchandising.

DSD enables us to merchandise 
with maximum visibility and appeal.

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 dis-
tributors and operators. Our foodservice 
and vending sales force also distributes 
certain beverages through our bottlers. 
This distribution system supplies our 
products to schools, businesses, stadiums, 
restaurants and similar locations.

Our Competition

Our businesses operate in highly com-
petitive markets. We compete against 
global, regional, local and private label 
manufacturers on the basis of price, 
quality, product variety and distribution. 
In U.S. measured channels, we have a 
similar share of CSD consumption and a 
larger share of liquid refreshment bever-
ages consumption, as compared to our 
chief beverage competitor, The Coca-

Cola Company. However, The Coca-Cola 
Company has a signifi cant CSD share 
advantage in many markets outside the 
U.S. Further, our snack brands hold sig-
nifi cant leadership positions in the snack 
industry worldwide. Our snack brands 
face local and regional competitors, as 
well as national and global snack competi-
tors, and compete on the basis of price, 
quality, product 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 fl exibility of our distribution 
network, allow us to compete effectively.

34

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 negotiations. Our transac-
tions 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 
affi liated companies and do not receive 
incremental compensation for their 
Board services.

Our Business Risks

Demand for our products may be 
adversely affected by changes in 
consumer preferences and tastes 
or if we are unable to innovate or 
market our products effectively. 

We are a consumer products company 
operating in highly competitive markets 
and rely on continued demand for our 
products. To generate revenues and 
profi ts, we must sell products that appeal 
to our customers and to consumers. Any 
signifi cant changes in consumer prefer-
ences and any inability on our part to 
anticipate and react to such changes 
could result in reduced demand for our 
products and erosion of our competi-
tive and fi nancial position. Our success 
depends on our ability to respond to con-
sumer trends, such as consumer health 
concerns about obesity, product attributes 
and ingredients. In addition, changes in 
product category consumption 
or 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 pat-
terns, weather, negative publicity result-
ing from regulatory action or litigation 
against companies in the industry, or a 
downturn in economic conditions. Any 
of these changes may reduce consumers’ 
willingness to purchase our products. See 
also “Changes in the legal and regula-
tory environment could limit our business 
activities, increase our operating costs, 
reduce demand for our products or result 
in litigation” below.

Our continued success is also depen-
dent on our product innovation, including 
maintaining a robust pipeline of new 
products, and the effectiveness of our 
advertising campaigns and marketing 
programs. There can be no assurance as 
to our continued ability either to develop 
and launch successful new products 
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. Our failure to 
successfully launch new products could 
decrease demand for our existing prod-
ucts by negatively affecting consumer 
perception of existing brands, as well 
as result in inventory write-offs and 
other costs.

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

Any damage to our reputation 
could have an adverse effect on 
our business, fi nancial condition 
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 or 
the incidence of product contamination 

or tampering, whether or not valid, 
may reduce demand for our products or 
cause production and delivery disrup-
tions. If any of our products becomes 
unfi t for consumption, misbranded or 
causes injury, we may have to engage in a 
product recall and/or be subject to liability. 
A widespread product recall or a sig-
nifi cant 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 or 
adverse publicity regarding our responses 
to health concerns, our environmental 
impacts, including agricultural materials, 
packaging, energy and water use and 
waste management, or other sustainabil-
ity issues, could jeopardize our reputa-
tion. Failure to comply with local laws 
and regulations, to maintain an effective 
system of internal controls or to provide 
accurate and timely fi nancial statement 
information could also hurt our reputa-
tion. Damage to our reputation or loss of 
consumer confi dence in our products for 
any of these reasons could have a material 
adverse effect on our business, fi nancial 
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 tech-
nology infrastructure, successfully 
implement our ongoing business 
transformation initiative or out-
source certain functions effectively 
our business could suffer. 

We depend on information technology as 
an enabler to improve the effectiveness of 
our operations and to interface with our 
customers, as well as to maintain fi nancial 
accuracy and effi ciency. If we do not allo-
cate and effectively manage the resources 
necessary to build and sustain the proper 
technology infrastructure, we could be 
subject to transaction errors, processing 
ineffi ciencies, the loss of customers, 
business disruptions, or the loss of or 
damage to intellectual property through 
security breach.

We have embarked on a multi-year 
business transformation initiative that 
includes the delivery of an SAP enterprise

operations and to interface with 
our customers.

resource planning application, as well 
as the migration to common business 
processes across our operations. There can 
be no certainty that these programs will 
deliver the expected benefi ts. The failure 
to deliver our goals may impact our ability 
to (1) process transactions accurately and 
effi ciently 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 applica-
tion on time, or anticipate the necessary 
readiness and training needs, could lead 
to business disruption and loss of custom-
ers and revenue.

In addition, we have outsourced certain 

information technology support services 
and administrative functions, such as 
payroll processing and benefi t plan 
administration, to third-party service pro-
viders and may outsource other functions 

in the future to achieve cost savings and 
effi ciencies. If the service providers that 
we outsource these functions to do not 
perform effectively, we may not be able 
to achieve the expected cost savings and 
may have to incur additional costs to cor-
rect errors made by such service providers. 
Depending on the function involved, 
such errors may also lead to business 
disruption, processing ineffi ciencies or 
the loss of or damage to intellectual 
property through security breach, or harm 
employee morale. 

Our information systems could also be 

penetrated by outside parties intent on 
extracting information, corrupting infor-
mation or disrupting business processes. 
Such unauthorized access could disrupt 
our business and could result in the loss 
of assets. 

Our operating results may be 
adversely affected by increased 
costs, disruption of supply or 
shortages of raw materials and 
other supplies.

We and our business partners use various 
raw materials and other supplies in our 
business, including aspartame, cocoa, 
corn, corn sweeteners, fl avorings, fl our, 
grapefruits and other fruits, juice and 
juice concentrates, oats, oranges, pota-
toes, rice, seasonings, sucralose, sugar, 
vegetable and essential oils, and wheat. 
Our key packaging materials include PET 
resin used for plastic bottles, fi lm packag-
ing used for snack foods, aluminum used 
for cans, glass bottles and cardboard. 
Fuel and natural gas are also important 
commodities due to their use in our plants 
and in the trucks delivering our products. 
Some of these raw materials and supplies 
are available from a limited number of 
suppliers. 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 fl uctuations 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 commod-
ity 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 profi tability may also be adversely 

impacted due to water scarcity and 
regulation. Water is a limited resource in 
many parts of the world. As demand for 
water continues to increase, we and our 
business partners may face disruption of 
supply or increased costs to obtain the 
water needed to produce our products.

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

Our businesses operate in highly com-
petitive markets. We compete against 
global, regional and private label manu-
facturers on the basis of price, quality, 
product variety and effective distribution. 
Increased competition and actions by 
our competitors could lead to downward 
pressure on prices and/or a decline in 
our market share, either of which could 
adversely affect our results. See “Our 
Competition” for more information about 
our competitors.

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

Our ability and that of our suppliers, busi-
ness partners, including bottlers, contract 
manufacturers, independent distributors 
and retailers, to make, move and sell 
products is critical to our success. Damage 
or disruption to our or their manufactur-
ing or distribution capabilities due to 
weather, natural disaster, fi re or explosion, 
terrorism, pandemics such as avian fl u, 
strikes or other reasons, could impair our 
ability to manufacture or sell our prod-
ucts. 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, fi nancial condition 

36

and results of operations, as well as 
require additional resources to restore our 
supply chain. 

Trade consolidation, the loss 
of any key customer, or failure 
to maintain good relationships 
with our bottling partners could 
adversely affect our fi nancial 
performance. 

We must maintain mutually benefi cial 
relationships with our key customers, 
including our retailers and bottling 
partners, to effectively compete. 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 pric-
ing 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 
fi nancial performance. 

Retail consolidation continues to 

increase the importance of major custom-
ers. In 2007, sales to Wal-Mart (including 
Sam’s) represented approximately 12% of 
our total net revenue. Our top fi ve retail 
customers represented approximately 
31% of our 2007 North American net 
revenue, with Wal-Mart (including Sam’s) 
representing approximately 18%. These 
percentages include concentrate sales to 
our bottlers which are used in fi nished 
goods sold by them to these retailers. Loss 
of any of our key customers, including 
Wal-Mart, could have an adverse effect 
on our business, fi nancial condition and 
results of operations.

Furthermore, if we are unable to 

provide an appropriate mix of incentives 
to our bottlers through a combination of 
advertising and marketing support, they 
may take actions that, while maximizing 

their own short-term profi t, may be detri-
mental to us or our brands. Such actions 
could have an adverse effect on our prof-
itability. In addition, any deterioration of 
our relationships with our bottlers could 
adversely affect our business or fi nancial 
performance. See “Our Customers,” 
“Our Related Party Bottlers” and Note 8 
for more information on our customers, 
including our anchor bottlers. 

Changes in the legal and regula-
tory environment could limit 
our business activities, increase 
our operating costs, reduce 
demand for our products or 
result in litigation.

The conduct of our businesses, and the 
production, distribution, sale, advertising, 
labeling, safety, transportation and use 
of many of our products, are subject to 
various 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. These laws 
and regulations may change, sometimes 
dramatically, as a result of political, 
economic or social events. 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 laws relat-
ing to the regulation of water rights and 
treatment. Changes in laws, regulations 
or governmental policy and the related 
interpretations may alter the environment 
in which we do business and, therefore, 
may impact our results or increase our 
costs or liabilities.

In particular, governmental bodies 
in jurisdictions where we operate may 
impose new labeling, product or produc-
tion requirements, or other restrictions. 
For example, we are one of several 
companies that have been sued by the 
State of California under Proposition 65 to 
force warnings that certain potato-based 
products contain acrylamide. Acrylamide 
is a chemical compound naturally formed 

in a wide variety of foods when they 
are cooked (whether commercially or 
at home), including french fries, potato 
chips, cereal, bread and coffee. It is 
believed that acrylamide may cause cancer 
in laboratory animals when consumed in 
signifi cant amounts. Studies are underway 
by various regulatory authorities and oth-
ers to assess the effect on humans due to 
acrylamide in the diet. If we were required 
to label any of our products or place 
warnings in locations where our products 
are sold in California under Proposition 
65, sales of those products could suffer 
not only in California but elsewhere. In 
addition, if consumer concerns about 
acrylamide increase as a result of these 
studies, other new scientifi c evidence, 
or for any other reason, whether or not 
valid, demand for our products could 
decline and we could be subject to addi-
tional lawsuits or new regulations that 
could affect sales of our products, any of 
which could have an adverse effect on 
our business, fi nancial condition or results 
of operations. 

In many jurisdictions, compliance with 
competition laws is of special importance 
to us due to our competitive position in 
those jurisdictions. Regulatory authorities 
under whose laws we operate may also 
have enforcement powers that can sub-
ject 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. 

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 operating results 
could be adversely affected by increased 
costs due to increased competition for 
employees, higher employee turnover or 

37

increased employee benefi t costs. Any 
unplanned turnover could deplete our 
institutional knowledge base and erode 
our competitive advantage.

results or fi nancial condition. Our opera-
tions outside of the U.S. accounted for 
44% and 35% of our net revenue and 
operating profi t, respectively, for the year 
ended December 29, 2007. Our contin-
ued success depends on our ability to 
broaden and strengthen our presence in 
emerging markets, such as Brazil, Russia, 
India and China, and to create scale in key 
international markets.

Forward-Looking and Cautionary 
Statements
We discuss expectations regarding our 
future performance, such as our busi-
ness outlook, in our annual and quarterly 
reports, press releases, and other written 
and oral statements. These “forward-
looking statements” are based on 
currently available information, operating 
plans and projections about future events 
and trends. They inherently involve risks 
and uncertainties that could cause actual 
results to differ materially from those 
predicted in any such forward-looking 
statements. Investors are cautioned not 
to place undue reliance on any such 
forward-looking statements, which speak 
only as of the date they are made. We 
undertake no obligation to update any 
forward-looking statement, whether as a 
result of new information, future events 
or otherwise. The discussion of risks above 
and elsewhere in this annual report 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.

derivatives are designated as either cash 
fl ow 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 deriva-
tive instruments for trading or speculative 
purposes, and we limit our exposure to 
individual counterparties to manage credit 
risk. The fair value of our derivatives fl uc-
tuates based on market rates and prices. 
The sensitivity of our derivatives to these 
market fl uctuations is discussed below. 
See Note 10 for further discussion of 
these derivatives and our hedging policies. 
See “Our Critical Accounting Policies” for 
a discussion of the exposure of our pen-
sion plan assets and pension and retiree 
medical liabilities to risks related to stock 
prices and discount rates.

Infl ationary, defl ationary and recession-

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

Commodity Prices
Our open commodity derivative contracts 
that qualify for hedge accounting had a 
face value of $5 million at December 29, 
2007 and $55 million at December 30, 
2006. The open derivative contracts that 
qualify for hedge accounting resulted in 
net unrealized gains of less than $1 million 
at December 29, 2007 and December 30, 
2006. We estimate that a 10% decline in 
commodity prices would have had 
no impact on our net unrealized gains 
in 2007. 

Our open commodity derivative 

contracts that do not qualify for hedge 
accounting had a face value of $105 million 
at December 29, 2007 and $196 million at 
December 30, 2006. The open derivative 
contracts that do not qualify for hedge 
accounting resulted in net gains of $3 million 
in 2007 and net losses of $28 million in 
2006. We estimate that a 10% decline 
in commodity prices would have had no 
impact on our net gains in 2007. 

We expect to be able to continue to 
reduce the impact of increases in our raw 
material and energy costs through our 
hedging strategies and ongoing produc-
tivity initiatives.

Foreign Exchange
Financial statements of foreign subsidiar-
ies 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 44% of our net revenue, with 
Mexico, the United Kingdom and Canada 
comprising 19% of our net revenue. As a 
result, we are exposed to foreign currency 
risks. During 2007, net favorable foreign 
currency, primarily due to appreciation in 
the euro, British pound, Canadian dollar 
and Brazilian real, contributed 2 percentage 
points 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 our 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 $1.6 billion at 
December 29, 2007 and $1.0 billion at 
December 30, 2006. The contracts that 
qualify for hedge accounting resulted 
in net unrealized losses of $44 million 
at December 29, 2007 and $6 million 
at December 30, 2006. We estimate 
that an unfavorable 10% change in the 
exchange rates would have resulted in net 
unrealized losses of $152 million in 2007. 
The contracts not meeting the criteria for 
hedge accounting resulted in a net gain 
of $15 million in 2007 and a net loss of 
$10 million in 2006. All losses and gains 
were offset by changes in the underlying 
hedged items, resulting in no net material 
impact on earnings.

Interest Rates
We centrally manage our debt and invest-
ment portfolios considering investment 
opportunities and risks, tax consequences 
and overall fi nancing 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 specifi c 
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 and are 
generally settled on a net basis.

Assuming year-end 2007 variable rate 
debt and investment levels, a 1-percent-
age-point increase in interest rates would 
have decreased net interest expense by 
$1 million in 2007. 

Risk Management Framework

OUR CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
OUR CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
An appreciation of our critical accounting policies

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 pension plans, our critical accounting policies do not involve the choice

Revenue Recognition

Our products are sold for cash or on credit 
terms. Our credit terms, which are estab-
lished in accordance with local and indus-
try practices, typically require payment 
within 30 days of delivery in the U.S., and 
generally within 30 to 90 days interna-
tionally, and may allow discounts for early 
payment. 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 DSD and chilled products is to 
remove and replace damaged 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 experi-
ence with this practice, we have reserved 
for anticipated damaged and out-of-date 
products. Our bottlers have a similar 
replacement policy and are responsible for 
the products they distribute.

Our policy is to provide customers 
with product when needed. In fact, our 

commitment 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 limiting the quantity of product. 
For product delivered through our other 
distribution networks, customer inventory 
levels are monitored.

Our policy for DSD and chilled 
products is to remove and 
replace damaged and out-of-date 
products from store shelves to 
ensure that consumers receive 
the product quality and freshness 
they expect.

As discussed in “Our Customers,” 
we offer sales incentives and discounts 
through various programs to customers 
and consumers. Sales incentives and dis-
counts are accounted for as a reduction of 
revenue and totaled $11.3 billion in 2007, 

$10.1 billion in 2006 and $8.9 billion in 
2005. Sales incentives include payments 
to customers for performing merchan-
dising 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 targets, and accruals 
are established during the year for the 
expected payout. These accruals are based 
on contract terms and our historical expe-
rience with similar programs and require 
management judgment with respect to 
estimating customer participation and 
performance levels. Differences between 
estimated expense and actual incentive 
costs are normally insignifi cant and are 
recognized in earnings in the period such 
differences are determined. The terms of 
most of our incentive arrangements do 
not exceed a year, and therefore do not 
require highly uncertain long-term esti-
mates. For interim reporting, we estimate 

40

total annual sales incentives for most 
of our programs and record a pro rata 
share in proportion to revenue. Certain 
arrangements, such as fountain pouring 
rights, may extend beyond one year. The 
costs incurred to obtain incentive arrange-
ments are recognized over the shorter 

of the economic or contractual life, as a 
reduction of revenue, and the remaining 
balances of $287 million at year-end 2007 
and $297 million at year-end 2006 are 
included in current assets and other assets 
on our balance sheet.

We estimate and reserve for our 

bad debt exposure based on our 
experience with past due accounts. Bad 
debt expense is classifi ed within selling, 
general and administrative expenses in 
our income statement.

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 in acquisitions. Upon acquisition, 
the purchase price is fi rst allocated to 
identifi able assets and liabilities, includ-
ing brands, based on estimated fair 
value, with any remaining purchase price 
recorded as goodwill. Determining fair 
value requires signifi cant estimates and 
assumptions based on an evaluation of a 
number of factors, such as marketplace 
participants, product life cycles, market 
share, consumer awareness, brand his-
tory and future expansion expectations, 
amount and timing of future cash fl ows 
and the discount rate applied to the 
cash fl ows.

We believe that a brand has an 

indefi nite life if it has a history of strong 
revenue and cash fl ow performance, and 
we have the intent and ability to support 
the brand with marketplace spending for 
the foreseeable future. If these perpetual 
brand criteria are not met, brands are 

Determining the expected life of 
a brand requires management 
judgment and is based on an 
evaluation of a number of factors,

awareness, brand history and 
future expansion expectations, 
as well as the macroeconomic 
environment of the countries in 
which the brand is sold.

a number of factors, including market 
share, consumer awareness, brand history 
and future expansion expectations, as well 
as the macroeconomic environment of the 
countries in which the brand is sold. 

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

Perpetual brands and goodwill, includ-
ing the goodwill that is part of our non-
controlled bottling investment balances, 
are not amortized. Perpetual brands and 
goodwill are assessed for impairment at 
least annually. If the carrying amount of a 
perpetual brand exceeds its fair value, as 
determined by its discounted cash fl ows, 
an impairment loss is recognized in an 
amount equal to that excess. Goodwill is 
evaluated using a two-step impairment 
test at the reporting unit level. A reporting 
unit can be a division or business within 
a division. The fi rst step compares the 
book value of a reporting unit, including 
goodwill, with its fair value, as determined 
by its discounted cash fl ows. If the book 
value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair 
value, we complete the second step 
to determine the amount of goodwill 

impairment loss that we should record. In 
the second step, we determine an implied 
fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill 
by allocating the fair value of the report-
ing unit to all of the assets and liabilities 
other than goodwill (including any unrec-
ognized intangible assets). The amount of 
impairment loss is equal to the excess of 
the book value of the goodwill over the 
implied fair value of that goodwill. 

Amortizable brands are only evaluated 
for impairment upon a signifi cant change 
in the operating or macroeconomic 
environment. If an evaluation of the 
undiscounted future cash fl ows indicates 
impairment, the asset is written down to 
its estimated fair value, which is based on 
its discounted future cash fl ows. 

Management judgment is necessary 
to evaluate the impact of operating and 
macroeconomic changes and to estimate 
future cash fl ows. Assumptions used 
in our impairment evaluations, such as 
forecasted growth rates and our cost of 
capital, are based on the best available 
market information and are consistent 
with our internal forecasts and operat-
ing 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 
29, 2007, we had $6.4 billion of per-
petual brands and goodwill, of which 
approximately 60% related to Tropicana 
and Walkers.

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 oper-
ate. Signifi cant judgment is required in 
determining our annual tax rate and in 
evaluating our tax positions. We establish 
reserves when, despite our belief that 
our tax return positions are fully support-
able, 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 chang-
ing facts and circumstances, such as the 
progress of a tax audit. 

An estimated effective tax rate for a 
year is applied to our quarterly operating 
results. In the event there is a signifi cant 
or unusual item recognized in our quar-
terly operating results, the tax attributable 
to that item is separately calculated and 
recorded at the same time as that item. 
We consider the tax adjustments 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 refl ected in our fi nancial 
statements. As a result, our annual tax 
rate refl ected in our fi nancial statements 
is different than that reported in our 

tax returns (our cash tax rate). Some of 
these differences 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 already recorded the tax benefi t 

We adopted the provisions of 
FIN 48 as of the beginning of our 
2007 fiscal year. 

in our income statement. We establish 
valuation allowances for our deferred 
tax assets if, based on the available 
evidence, it is more likely than not that 
some portion or all of the deferred tax 
assets will not be realized. Deferred tax 
liabilities generally represent tax expense 
recognized in our fi nancial statements for 
which payment has been deferred, 
or expense for which we have already 
taken a deduction in our tax return but 
have not yet recognized as expense in 
our fi nancial statements.

In 2006, the Financial Accounting 
Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB 
Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for 
Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an 
interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 
(FIN 48), which clarifi es the accounting 
for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 
requires that we recognize in our fi nancial 
statements the impact of a tax position, 
if that position is more likely than not 
of being sustained on audit, based on 
the technical merits of the position. We 
adopted the provisions of FIN 48 as of the 
beginning of our 2007 fi scal year. As a 
result of our adoption of FIN 48, we rec-
ognized a $7 million decrease to reserves 
for income taxes, with a corresponding 
increase to opening retained earnings. 
See Note 5 for additional information 
regarding our tax reserves and our adop-
tion of FIN 48. 

In 2007, our annual tax rate was 25.9% 
compared to 19.3% in 2006 as discussed 
in “Other Consolidated Results.” The tax 
rate in 2007 increased 6.6 percentage 
points primarily refl ecting an unfavorable 
comparison to the prior year’s non-cash 
tax benefi ts. In 2008, our annual tax 
rate is expected to be 27.5%, primarily 
refl ecting the absence of the non-cash tax 
benefi ts recorded in 2007.

Pension and Retiree Medical Plans

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

On December 30, 2006, we adopted 

SFAS 158, Employers’ Accounting for 
Defi ned Benefi t Pension and Other 
Postretirement Plans — an amendment 
of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 
132(R) (SFAS 158). In connection with 
our adoption, we recognized the funded 
status of our pension and retiree medical 
plans (our Plans) on our balance sheet as 
of December 30, 2006 with subsequent 
changes in the funded status recognized 
in comprehensive income in the years in 
which they occur. In accordance with SFAS 
158, amounts prior to the year of adop-
tion have not been adjusted. SFAS 158 
also requires that, no later than 2008, our 
assumptions used to measure our annual 
pension and retiree medical expense 
be determined as of the balance sheet 
date, and all plan assets and liabilities be 
reported as of that date. Accordingly, as 

As of the beginning of our 2008 
fiscal year, in accordance with 
SFAS 158, we will change the 
measurement date for our annual 
pension and retiree medical 
expense and all plan assets and 
liabilities from September 30 to 
our year-end balance sheet date. 

of the beginning of our 2008 fi scal year, 
we will change the measurement date for 
our annual pension and retiree medical 
expense and all plan assets and liabilities 
from September 30 to our year-end 

balance sheet date. As a result of this 
change in measurement date, we will 
record an after-tax $7 million reduction to 
2008 opening shareholders’ equity which 
will be refl ected in our 2008 fi rst quar-
ter Form 10-Q. For further information 
regarding the impact of our adoption of 
SFAS 158, see Note 7.

Our Assumptions
The determination of pension and retiree 
medical plan obligations and related 
expenses requires the use of assumptions 
to estimate the amount of the benefi ts 
that employees earn while working, as 
well as the present value of those ben-
efi ts. Annual pension and retiree medical 
expense amounts are principally based on 
four components: (1) the value of benefi ts 
earned by employees for working during 
the year (service cost), (2) increase in the 
liability due to the passage of time 
(interest cost), and (3) other gains and 
losses as discussed below, reduced by 
(4) expected return on plan assets for our 
funded plans.

Signifi cant assumptions used to 

(cid:129) 

(cid:129) 

measure our annual pension and retiree 
medical expense include:
(cid:129) 

 the interest rate used to determine 
the 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 benefi ts are based on 
earnings; and
 for retiree medical expense, health care 
cost trend rates.
Our assumptions refl ect our historical 
experience and management’s best judg-
ment regarding future expectations. Due 
to the signifi cant management judgment 
involved, our assumptions could have a 
material impact on the measurement of 
our pension and retiree medical benefi t 
expenses and obligations. 

(cid:129) 

At each measurement date, the 
discount rate is based on interest rates 
for high-quality, long-term corporate debt 
securities with maturities comparable to 
those of our liabilities. In the U.S., we use 
the Moody’s Aa Corporate Bond Index 
yield (Moody’s Aa Index) and adjust for 
differences between the average duration 
of the bonds in this Index and the average 
duration of our benefi t liabilities, based 
upon a published index. As of the begin-
ning of our 2008 fi scal year, our discount 
rate will be determined using the Mercer 
Pension Discount Yield Curve (Mercer 
Yield Curve). The Mercer Yield Curve uses 
a portfolio of high-quality bonds rated 
Aa or higher by Moody’s. We believe the 
Mercer Yield Curve includes bonds that 
provide a better match to the timing and 
amount of expected benefi t payments 
than the Moody’s Aa Index. 

The expected return on pension plan 
assets is based on our historical experi-
ence, our pension plan investment strat-
egy and our expectations for long-term 
rates of return. Our pension plan invest-
ment strategy is reviewed annually and is 
established based upon plan liabilities, an 
evaluation of market conditions, tolerance 
for risk, and cash requirements for benefi t 
payments. As part of our investment 
strategy, we employ certain equity strate-
gies which, in addition to investing in U.S. 
and international common and preferred 
stock, include investing in certain equity- 
and debt-based securities used collectively 
to generate returns in excess of certain 
equity-based indices. Our investment 
policy also permits the use of derivative 
instruments to enhance the overall return 
of the portfolio. Our expected long-term 
rate of return on U.S. plan assets is 7.8%, 
refl ecting estimated long-term rates of 
return of 9.3% from our equity strategies, 
and 5.8% from our fi xed income strate-
gies. Our target investment allocation is 
60% for equity strategies and 40% for 
fi xed income strategies. We use a market-
related valuation method for recogniz-
ing investment gains or losses. For this 
purpose, investment gains or losses are 

43

the difference between the expected and 
actual return based on the market-related 
value of assets. This market-related valua-
tion method recognizes investment gains 
or losses over a fi ve-year period from the 
year in which they occur, which has the 
effect of reducing year-to-year volatility. 
Expense in future periods will be impacted 
as gains or losses are recognized in the 
market-related value of assets over the 
fi ve-year period. 

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 accumu-
lated 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 benefi t of plan changes that increase or 
decrease benefi ts for prior employee ser-
vice (prior service cost/(credit)) is included 
in earnings on a straight-line basis over 
the average remaining service period 
of active plan participants, which is 
approximately 11 years for pension 
expense and approximately 13 years for 
retiree medical expense.

Effective as of the beginning of our 
2008 fi scal year, we amended our U.S. 
hourly pension plan to increase the 
amount of participant earnings recog-
nized in determining pension benefi ts. 
Additional pension plan amendments 
were also made as of the beginning of 

our 2008 fi scal year to comply with legis-
lative and regulatory changes.

The health care trend rate used to 
determine our retiree medical plan’s 
liability and expense is reviewed annually. 
Our review is based on our claim experi-
ence, information provided by our health 
plans and actuaries, and our knowledge 
of the health care industry. Our review 
of the trend rate considers factors such 
as demographics, plan design, new 
medical technologies and changes in 
medical carriers. 

Weighted-average assumptions for pension and retiree medical expense 
are as follows:

Pension
Expense discount rate 
Expected rate of return on plan assets 
Expected rate of salary increases 
Retiree medical

Current health care cost trend rate

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 2008 
pension expense is an increase of approxi-
mately $36 million. The estimated impact 
on 2008 pension expense of a 25-basis-
point decrease in the expected rate of 
return is an increase of approximately 
$17 million. 

See Note 7 regarding the sensitivity of 

our retiree medical cost assumptions.

Future Funding
We make contributions to pension trusts 
maintained to provide plan benefi ts for 
certain pension plans. These contributions 

are made in accordance with applicable 
tax regulations that provide for current tax 
deductions for our contributions, and tax-
ation to the employee only upon receipt of 
plan benefi ts. Generally, we do not fund 
our pension plans when our contributions 
would not be currently deductible. 

Our pension contributions for 2007 
were $230 million, of which $92 million 
was discretionary. In 2008, we expect 
to make contributions of up to 
$150 million with up to $75 million 
expected to be discretionary. Our cash 
payments for retiree medical are esti-
mated to be approximately $85 million 
in 2008. As our retiree medical plans 
are not subject to regulatory funding 
requirements, we fund these plans on 

a pay-as-you-go basis. Our pension and 
retiree medical contributions are subject 
to change as a result of many factors, 
such as changes in interest rates, devia-
tions between actual and expected asset 
returns, and changes in tax or other 
benefi t laws. For estimated future benefi t 
payments, including our pay-as-you-go 
payments as well as those from trusts, 
see Note 7.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff 
Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering 
the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements 
when Quantifying Misstatements in 
Current Year Financial Statements (SAB 
108), to address diversity in practice 
in quantifying fi nancial statement 
misstatements. SAB 108 requires that 
we quantify misstatements based on 
their impact on each of our fi nancial 
statements and related disclosures. On 
December 30, 2006, we adopted SAB 
108. Our adoption of SAB 108 did not 
impact our fi nancial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued 
SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 
157), which defi nes fair value, establishes 
a framework for measuring fair value, 
and expands disclosures about fair value 

measurements. The provisions of SFAS 
157 are effective as of the beginning of 
our 2008 fi scal year. However, the FASB 
deferred the effective date of SFAS 157, 
until the beginning of our 2009 fi scal 
year, as it relates to fair value measure-
ment requirements for nonfi nancial 
assets and liabilities that are not remea-
sured at fair value on a recurring basis. 
We are currently evaluating the impact 
of adopting SFAS 157 on our fi nancial 
statements. We do not expect our adop-
tion to have a material impact on our 
fi nancial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 

159, The Fair Value Option for Financial 
Assets and Financial Liabilities Including 
an amendment of FASB Statement No. 
115 (SFAS 159), which permits entities 
to choose to measure many fi nancial 

instruments and certain other items at 
fair value. The provisions of SFAS 159 are 
effective as of the beginning of our 2008 
fi scal year. Our adoption of SFAS 159 will 
not impact our fi nancial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued 

SFAS 141 (revised 2007), Business 
Combinations (SFAS 141R), and SFAS 160, 
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated 
Financial Statements (SFAS 160), to 
improve, simplify, and converge inter-
nationally the accounting for business 
combinations and the reporting of 
noncontrolling interests in consolidated 
fi nancial statements. The provisions of 
SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 are effective as 
of the beginning of our 2009 fi scal year. 
We are currently evaluating the impact of 
adopting SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 on our 
fi nancial statements.

Restructuring and Impairment 
Charges
In 2007, we incurred a charge of 
$102 million in conjunction with restruc-
turing actions primarily to close certain 
plants and rationalize other production 
lines across FLNA, PBNA and PI. 

In 2006, we incurred a charge of 
$67 million in conjunction with con-
solidating the manufacturing network at 
FLNA by closing two plants in the U.S., 
and rationalizing other assets, to increase 
manufacturing productivity and supply 
chain effi ciencies.

Tax Benefits
In 2007, we recognized $129 million 
of non-cash tax benefi ts related to the 
favorable resolution of certain foreign 
tax matters. 

In 2006, we recognized non-cash tax 
benefi ts of $602 million, substantially all 
of which related to the Internal Revenue 
Service’s (IRS) examination of our con-
solidated tax returns for the years 1998 
through 2002.

PepsiCo Share of PBG

In 2006, the IRS concluded its examination 
of PBG’s consolidated income tax returns 
for the years 1999 through 2000 (PBG’s 
Tax Settlement). Consequently, a non-cash 
benefi t of $21 million was included in 
bottling equity income as part of record-
ing our share of PBG’s fi nancial results.

Results of 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 varying products 
in different package sizes and 
in different countries.

Servings 
Since our divisions each use different mea-
sures of physical unit volume (i.e., kilos, 
gallons, pounds and case sales), a com-
mon servings metric is necessary to refl ect 
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.

In 2007, total servings increased over 
4% compared to 2006, as servings for 
beverages worldwide grew 4% and serv-
ings for snacks worldwide grew 6%. All 
of our divisions positively contributed to 
the total servings growth. In 2006, total 
servings increased 5.5% compared to 
2005, as servings for beverages world-
wide grew over 6% and servings for 
snacks worldwide grew 5%.

2007
Net revenue increased 12% primarily 
refl ecting favorable effective net pricing 
and volume growth. Effective net pricing 
contributed 4 percentage points and the 
volume gains contributed 3 percentage 
points to net revenue growth. The impact 
of acquisitions contributed 3 percentage 
points and foreign currency contributed 
2 percentage points to net revenue growth. 
Total operating profi t increased 10% 
and margin decreased 0.3 percentage 
points. The operating profi t performance 
refl ects leverage from the revenue 
growth, offset by increased cost of sales, 
largely due to higher raw material costs. 
The impact of foreign currency contrib-
uted 2 percentage points to operating 
profi t growth. There was no net impact of 
acquisitions and divestitures on operating 
profi t growth.

2006 
Net revenue increased 8% primarily 
refl ecting higher volume and positive 
effective net pricing across all divisions. 
The volume gains and the effective net 
pricing each contributed 3 percentage 
points to net revenue growth. Acquisitions 
contributed 1 percentage point and 
foreign exchange contributed almost 
1 percentage point to net revenue 
growth. The absence of the prior year’s 
additional week reduced net revenue 
growth by over 1 percentage point and 
reduced volume growth by almost 
1 percentage point.

Total operating profi t increased 9% and 

margin increased 0.1 percentage points. 
The operating profi t gains refl ect the net 
revenue growth, partially offset by the 
impact of higher raw material and energy 
costs across all divisions. The absence of 

the prior year’s additional week reduced 
operating profi t growth by over 1 percent-
age point.

Corporate Unallocated Expenses
Corporate unallocated expenses include 
the costs of our corporate headquarters, 
centrally managed initiatives, such as our 
ongoing business transformation initiative 
in North America, unallocated insurance 
and benefi t programs, foreign exchange 
transaction gains and losses, and certain 
commodity derivative gains and losses, 
as well as profi t-in-inventory elimination 
adjustments for our noncontrolled bot-
tling affi liates and certain other items.
In 2007, corporate unallocated 

expenses increased 2% primarily refl ect-
ing $35 million of increased research and 
development costs, partially offset by 
lower pension costs of $18 million. Gains

of $19 million from certain mark-to-market 
derivatives (compared to $18 million of 
losses in the prior year) were fully offset 
by the absence of certain other favorable 
corporate items in the prior year. 
In 2006, corporate unallocated 

expenses decreased $42 million primarily 

refl ecting the absence of a non-recurring 
charge of $55 million in the prior year to 
conform our method of accounting across 
all divisions, primarily for warehouse and 
freight costs. Higher costs associated with 
our ongoing business transformation 
initiative of $35 million, as well as the 

unfavorable comparison to the prior year’s 
$25 million gain in connection with the 
settlement of a class action lawsuit, were 
offset by the favorable impact of certain 
other corporate items.

Bottling equity income includes our 
share of the net income or loss of our 
anchor bottlers as described in “Our 
Customers.” Our interest in these bot-
tling 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. During 
2007, we continued to sell shares of PBG 
stock to reduce our economic 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 repur-
chase program. We sold 9.5 million and 
10.0 million shares of PBG stock in 2007 
and 2006, respectively. The resulting lower 
ownership percentage reduces the equity 
income from PBG that we recognize. In 
November 2007, our Board of Directors 
approved the sale of additional PBG stock 
to an economic ownership level of 35%, 
as well as the sale of PAS stock to the 
ownership level at the time of the merger 
with Whitman Corporation in 2000 of 
about 37%. 

2007
Bottling equity income increased 1% 
refl ecting higher earnings from our 
anchor bottlers, partially offset by the 
impact of our reduced ownership level in 
2007 and lower pre-tax gains on our sale 
of PBG stock.

Net interest expense increased $33 mil-
lion primarily refl ecting the impact of lower 
investment balances and higher average 
rates on our debt, partially offset by higher 
average interest rates on our investments 
and lower average debt balances. 

The tax rate increased 6.6 percentage 
points compared to the prior year primar-
ily refl ecting an unfavorable comparison 
to the prior year’s non-cash tax benefi ts. 
Net income remained fl at and the 
related net income per share increased 
2%. Our solid operating profi t growth 
was offset by unfavorable comparisons 
to the non-cash tax benefi ts and restruc-
turing and impairment charges in the 
prior year. Additionally, net income per 
share was favorably impacted by our 
share repurchases. 

2006
Bottling equity income increased 12% 
primarily refl ecting a $186 million pre-tax 
gain on our sale of PBG stock, which com-
pared favorably to a $126 million pre-tax 
gain in the prior year. The non-cash gain 
of $21 million from our share of PBG’s 
Tax Settlement was fully offset by lower 
equity income from our anchor bottlers in 
the current year, primarily resulting from 
the impact of their respective adoptions of 
SFAS 123R in 2006.

Net interest expense decreased 
$31 million primarily refl ecting higher 
average rates on our investments and 
lower debt balances, partially offset 
by lower investment balances and the 
impact of higher average rates on our 
borrowings.

The tax rate decreased 16.8 percentage 

points compared to prior year primar-
ily refl ecting the non-cash tax benefi ts 
recorded in 2006, the absence of the 
2005 tax charge related to the American 
Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (AJCA) and 
the resolution of certain state income tax 
audits in the current year. 

Net income increased 38% and the 
related net income per share increased 
40%. These increases primarily refl ect the 
non-cash tax benefi ts recorded in 2006, 
the absence of the AJCA tax charge and 
our solid operating profi t growth.

(a)  Excludes the impact of acquisitions and divestitures. For PBNA and PI, volume growth varies from the amounts disclosed in the following divisional discussions 

due primarily to non-consolidated joint venture volume and temporary timing differences between BCS and CSE. Our net revenue for PBNA and PI excludes non-
consolidated joint venture volume and is based on CSE.

(b)  Includes the year-over-year impact of discrete pricing actions, sales incentive activities and mix resulting from selling varying products in different package sizes and in 

different countries.

(c) Amounts may not sum due to rounding.

impact of lower restructuring and impair-
ment charges in the current year related 
to the continued consolidation of the 
manufacturing network.

Smart Spot eligible products rep-
resented approximately 16% of net 
revenue. These products experienced 
double-digit revenue growth, while the 
balance of the portfolio had mid-single-
digit revenue growth.

2006
Net revenue grew 5% refl ecting volume 
growth of 1% and positive effective net 
pricing due to salty snack pricing actions 
and favorable mix. Pound volume grew 
primarily due to double-digit growth 
in SunChips, Multipack and Quaker 
Rice Cakes. These volume 
gains were partially offset by 
low-single-digit declines in 
trademark Lay’s and Doritos. 
The Stacy’s Pita Chip Company 
acquisition contributed 
approximately 0.5 percentage points to 
both revenue and volume growth. The 
absence of the prior year’s additional 
week reduced volume and net revenue 
growth by 2 percentage points. 

Operating profi t grew 3% refl ecting 

the net revenue growth. This growth 
was partially offset by higher commodity 
costs, primarily cooking oil and energy. 
Operating profi t was also negatively 
impacted by almost 3 percentage points 
as a result of a fourth quarter charge for 
the consolidation of the manufacturing 
network, including the closure of two 
plants and rationalization of other manu-
facturing assets. The absence of the prior 
year’s additional week, which reduced 
operating profi t growth by 2 percentage 
points, was largely offset by the impact of 
restructuring charges in the prior year to 
reduce costs in our operations, principally 
through headcount reductions.

BCS volume was fl at due to a 3% decline 
in CSDs, entirely offset by a 5% increase 
in non-carbonated beverages. The decline 
in the CSD portfolio refl ects a mid-single-
digit decline in trademark Pepsi offset 
slightly by a low-single-digit increase 
in trademark Sierra Mist. Trademark 
Mountain Dew volume was fl at. Across 
the brands, regular CSDs experienced a 
mid-single-digit decline and diet CSDs 
experienced a low-single-digit decline. The 
non-carbonated portfolio performance 
was driven by double-digit growth in 
Lipton ready-to-drink teas, double-digit 
growth in waters and enhanced waters 
under the Aquafi na, Propel and SoBe Life 
Water trademarks and low-single-digit 
growth in Gatorade, partially offset by a 
mid-single-digit decline in our juice and 
juice drinks portfolio as a result of previous 
price increases.

Net revenue grew 7% driven by effec-
tive net pricing, primarily refl ecting price 
increases on Tropicana Pure Premium 
and CSD concentrate and growth in 
fi nished goods beverages. Acquisitions 
contributed 2 percentage points to net 
revenue growth.

Operating profi t increased 6% refl ect-

ing the net revenue growth, partially 
offset by higher cost of sales, mainly due 
to increased fruit costs, as well as higher 
general and administrative costs. The 
impact of restructuring actions taken in 
the fourth quarter was fully offset by the 
favorable impact of Canadian exchange 
rates during the year. Operating profi t was 
also positively impacted by the absence 
of amortization expense related to a prior 
acquisition, partially offset by the absence 
of a $29 million favorable insurance 
settlement, both recorded in 2006. The 
impact of acquisitions reduced operating 
profi t by less than 1 percentage point.

BCS volume grew 4%. The volume 
increase was driven by a 14% increase

low-single-digit growth in Cap’n Crunch 
cereal. These increases were partially 
offset by a double-digit decline in Rice-A-

Our Liquidity and Capital Resources 

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.

Operating Activities
In 2007, our operations provided 
$6.9 billion of cash, compared to 
$6.1 billion in the prior year, primarily 
refl ecting our solid business results. Our 
operating cash fl ow in 2006 also refl ects 
a tax payment of $420 million related to 
our repatriation of international cash in 
connection with the AJCA. 

Investing Activities
In 2007, we used $3.7 billion for our 
investing activities primarily refl ecting 
capital spending of $2.4 billion and 
acquisitions of $1.3 billion. Acquisitions 
primarily included the remaining interest in 
a snacks joint venture in Latin America, 
Naked Juice Company and Bluebird Foods, 
and the acquisition of a minority interest in 
a juice company in the Ukraine through a 
joint venture with PAS. Proceeds from our 
sale of PBG stock of $315 million were 
offset by net purchases of short-term 
investments of $383 million. In 2006, 
capital spending of $2.1 billion and 
acquisitions of $522 million were mostly 
offset by net sales of short-term invest-
ments of $2.0 billion and proceeds from 
our sale of PBG stock of $318 million.

We anticipate net capital spending of 
approximately $2.7 billion in 2008, which 
is expected to be within our net capital 
spending target of approximately 5% 
to 7% of net revenue. Planned capital 
spending in 2008 includes investments 
to increase capacity in our snack and 
beverage businesses to support growth 
in developing and emerging markets, 
investments in North America to support 
growth in key trademarks, and invest-
ments in our ongoing business transfor-
mation initiative. New capital projects are 
evaluated on a case-by-case basis and 
must meet certain payback and internal 
rate of return targets.

Financing Activities
In 2007, we used $4.0 billion for our 
fi nancing activities, primarily refl ecting 
the return of operating cash fl ow to our 
shareholders through common share 
repurchases of $4.3 billion and dividend 
payments of $2.2 billion, as well as net 
repayments of short-term borrowings of 
$395 million. The use of cash was partially 
offset by stock option proceeds of 
$1.1 billion and net proceeds from issu-
ances of long-term debt of $1.6 billion. 

In 2006, we used $6.0 billion for our 
fi nancing activities, primarily refl ecting 
the return of operating cash fl ow to our 
shareholders through common share 
repurchases of $3.0 billion and dividend 
payments of $1.9 billion. Net repayments 
of short-term borrowings of $2.3 billion 
were partially offset by stock option 
proceeds of $1.2 billion. 

We annually review our capital structure 

with our Board, including our dividend 
policy and share repurchase activity. In 
the second quarter of 2007, our Board 
of Directors approved an increase in our 
targeted dividend payout rate from 45% 
to 50% of prior year’s earnings, exclud-
ing certain items. The Board of Directors 
also authorized stock repurchases of 
up to an additional $8 billion through 
June 30, 2010, once the current share 
repurchase authorization is complete. The 
current $8.5 billion authorization began in 
2006 and has approximately $3.1 billion 
remaining. We have historically repur-
chased signifi cantly more shares each year 
than we have issued under our stock-
based compensation plans, with aver-
age net annual repurchases of 1.4% of 
outstanding shares for the last fi ve years.

Management Operating Cash Flow
We focus on management operating 
cash fl ow as a key element in achieving 
maximum shareholder value, and it is the 
primary measure we use to monitor cash 
fl ow performance. However, it is not a 
measure provided by accounting prin-
ciples generally accepted in the U.S. Since 
net capital spending is essential to our 
product innovation initiatives and main-
taining 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 evaluating our cash from operating 
activities. The table above reconciles the 
net cash provided by operating activities, 
as refl ected in our cash fl ow statement, to 
our management operating cash fl ow.

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

Credit Ratings 
Our debt ratings of Aa2 from Moody’s 
and A+ from Standard & Poor’s contribute 
to our ability to access global capital mar-
kets. We have maintained strong invest-
ment grade ratings for over a decade. 
Each rating is considered strong invest-
ment grade and is in the fi rst quartile of 
their respective ranking systems. These 
ratings also refl ect the impact of our 
anchor bottlers’ cash fl ows and debt. 

Credit Facilities and Long-Term 
Contractual Commitments
See Note 9 for a description of our 
credit facilities and long-term 
contractual commitments.

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements
It is not our business practice to enter 
into off-balance-sheet arrangements, 
other than in the normal course of busi-
ness. However, certain guarantees were 
necessary to facilitate the separation of 
our bottling and restaurant operations 
from us. At year-end 2007, we believe it 
is remote that these guarantees would 
require any cash payment. We do not 
enter into off-balance-sheet transactions 
specifi cally structured to provide income 
or tax benefi ts or to avoid recognizing 
or disclosing assets or liabilities. See 
Note 9 for a description of our 
off-balance-sheet arrangements.

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

Basis of Presentation
Our fi nancial statements include the 
consolidated accounts of PepsiCo, Inc. 
and the affi liates that we control. In 
addition, we include our share of the 
results of certain other affi liates based on 
our economic ownership interest. We do 
not control these other affi liates, as our 
ownership in these other affi liates is gen-
erally less than 50%. Our share of the net 
income of our anchor bottlers is reported 
in our income statement as bottling 
equity income. Bottling equity income also 
includes any changes in our ownership 
interests of these affi liates. Bottling 
equity income includes $174 million, 
$186 million and $126 million of pre-tax 
gains on our sales of PBG stock in 2007, 
2006 and 2005, respectively. See Note 8 
for additional information on our sig-
nifi cant noncontrolled bottling affi liates. 
Intercompany balances and transactions 
are eliminated. In 2005, we had an addi-
tional week of results (53rd week). Our 
fi scal year ends on the last Saturday of 
each December, resulting in an additional 
week of results every fi ve or six years.

Our Divisions 
We manufacture or use contract manu-
facturers, market and sell a variety of salty, 
sweet and grain-based snacks, carbon-
ated and non-carbonated beverages, and 
foods through our North American and 
international business divisions. Our North 
American divisions include the U.S. and 
Canada. Division results are based on how 
our Chief Executive Offi cer assesses the 
performance of and allocates resources 
to our divisions. For additional unaudited 
information on our divisions, see “Our 
Operations” in Management’s Discussion 
and Analysis. The accounting policies 
for the divisions are the same as those 
described in Note 2, except for the follow-
ing certain allocation methodologies:
(cid:129) 
(cid:129) 

 stock-based compensation expense,
 pension and retiree medical 
expense, and
derivatives.

(cid:129)

Beginning in the fi rst quarter of 2007, 
income for certain non-consolidated inter-
national bottling interests was reclassifi ed 
from bottling equity income and corpo-
rate unallocated results to PI’s division 
operating results, to be consistent with 
PepsiCo’s internal management account-
ability. Prior period amounts have been 
adjusted to refl ect this reclassifi cation.

Raw materials, direct labor and plant 

overhead, as well as purchasing and 
receiving costs, costs directly related to 
production planning, inspection costs 
and raw material handling facilities, are 
included in cost of sales. The costs of 
moving, storing and delivering fi nished 
product are included in selling, general 
and administrative expenses.

The preparation of our consolidated 
fi nancial statements in conformity with 
generally accepted accounting prin-
ciples 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 

Stock-Based Compensation Expense
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 in 
2007 was approximately 29% to FLNA, 
17% to PBNA, 34% to PI, 4% to QFNA 
and 16% to corporate unallocated 
expenses. We had similar allocations of 
stock-based compensation expense to our 
divisions in 2006 and 2005. The expense 
allocated to our divisions excludes any 
impact of changes in our Black-Scholes 
assumptions during the year which refl ect 
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.

in determining, among other items, sales 
incentives accruals, tax reserves, stock-
based compensation, pension and retiree 
medical accruals, useful lives for intangible 
assets, and future cash fl ows associated 
with impairment testing for perpetual 
brands, goodwill and other long-lived 
assets. 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 
refl ect common per share amounts, assume 
dilution unless noted, and are based on 
unrounded amounts. Certain reclassifi ca-
tions were made to prior years’ amounts to 
conform to the 2007 presentation.

Pension and Retiree Medical Expense
Pension and retiree medical service costs 
measured at a fi xed discount rate, as 
well as amortization of gains and losses 
due to demographics, including sal-
ary experience, are refl ected in division 
results for North American employees. 
Division results also include interest costs, 
measured at a fi xed discount rate, for 
retiree medical plans. Interest costs for 
the pension plans, pension asset returns 
and the impact of pension funding, 
and gains and losses other than those 
due to demographics, are all refl ected 
in corporate unallocated expenses. In 
addition, corporate unallocated expenses 
include the difference between the service 
costs measured at a fi xed discount rate 
(included in division results as noted 
above) and the total service costs deter-
mined using the Plans’ discount rates as 
disclosed in Note 7.

Derivatives
Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2005, 
we began centrally managing commod-
ity 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 
in corporate unallocated expenses. 
These gains and losses are subsequently 
refl ected in division results when the 

divisions take delivery of the underlying 
commodity. Therefore, division results 
refl ect the contract purchase price of the 
energy or other commodities.

In the second quarter of 2007, we 
expanded our commodity hedging pro-
gram to include derivative contracts used 
to mitigate our exposure to price changes 
associated with our purchases of fruit. 
Similar to our energy contracts, these con-
tracts do not qualify for hedge accounting 
treatment and are marked to market with 
the resulting gains and losses recognized 
in corporate unallocated expenses. These 
gains and losses are then subsequently 
refl ected in divisional results.

New Organizational Structure
In the fourth quarter of 2007, we 
announced a strategic realignment of our 
organizational structure. For additional 
unaudited information on our new orga-
nizational structure, see “Our Operations” 
in Management’s Discussion and Analysis. 
In the fi rst quarter of 2008, our histori-
cal segment reporting will be restated to 
refl ect the new structure. The segment 
amounts and discussions refl ected in this 
annual report refl ect the management 
reporting that existed through fi scal year-
end 2007.

Note 2 — Our Signifi cant 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 
DSD and chilled products is to remove and 
replace damaged and out-of-date prod-
ucts from store shelves to ensure that our 
consumers receive the product quality and 
freshness that they expect. Similarly, our 
policy for warehouse-distributed products 
is to replace damaged and out-of-date 
products. Based on our historical experi-
ence with this practice, we have reserved 
for anticipated damaged and out-of-date 
products. For additional unaudited infor-
mation 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. In 2007, Wal-Mart (including 
Sam’s) represented approximately 12% of 
our total net revenue, including concen-
trate sales to our bottlers which are used 
in fi nished goods sold by them to Wal-
Mart; and PBG represented approximately 
9%. 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 custom-
ers and consumers. Sales incentives and 
discounts are accounted for as a reduction 
of revenue and totaled $11.3 billion in 
2007, $10.1 billion in 2006 and $8.9 billion 
in 2005. While most of these incentive 
arrangements have terms of no more than 
one year, certain arrangements, such as 
fountain pouring rights, extend beyond 
one year. Costs incurred to obtain these 
arrangements are recognized over the 
shorter of the economic or contractual 
life, as a reduction of revenue, and the 
remaining balances of $287 million at 
December 29, 2007 and $297 million 
at December 30, 2006 are included in 
current assets and other assets on our 

balance sheet. For additional unaudited 
information on our sales incentives, see 
“Our Critical Accounting Policies” in 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
Other marketplace spending, which 
includes the costs of advertising and other 
marketing activities, totaled $2.9 billion in 
2007, $2.7 billion in 2006 and $2.8 billion 
in 2005 and is reported as selling, general 
and administrative expenses. Included in 
these amounts were advertising expenses 
of $1.9 billion in 2007, $1.7 billion in 
2006 and $1.8 billion in 2005. Deferred 
advertising costs are not expensed until 
the year fi rst used and consist of:
 media and personal service 
(cid:129) 
prepayments,
 promotional materials in inventory, and
 production costs of future media 
advertising.
Deferred advertising costs of $160 million 

(cid:129) 
(cid:129) 

and $171 million at year-end 2007 and 
2006, respectively, are classifi ed as prepaid 
expenses on our balance sheet.

Distribution Costs
Distribution costs, including the costs 
of shipping and handling activities, are 
reported as selling, general and adminis-
trative expenses. Shipping and handling 
expenses were $5.1 billion in 2007, 
$4.6 billion in 2006 and $4.1 billion in 2005. 

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 obtain-
ing computer software for internal use 
when both the preliminary project stage 
is completed and it is probable that 
the software will be used as intended. 
Capitalized software costs include only 
(i) external direct costs of materials and 
services utilized in developing or obtain-
ing computer software, (ii) compensation 

and related benefi ts for employees who 
are directly associated with the software 
project and (iii) interest costs incurred 
while developing internal-use computer 
software. Capitalized software costs are 
included in property, plant and equipment 
on our balance sheet and amortized on 
a straight-line basis when placed into 
service over the estimated useful lives of 
the software, which approximate fi ve to 
seven years. Net capitalized software and 
development costs were $652 million at 
December 29, 2007 and $537 million at 
December 30, 2006.

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 
liabilities for contingencies and com-
mitments when a loss is probable and 
estimable. For additional information on 
our commitments, see Note 9.

Research and Development 
We engage in a variety of research and 
development activities. These activities 
principally involve the development of 
new products, improvement in the quality 
of existing products, improvement and 
modernization of production processes, 
and the development and implementation 
of new technologies to enhance the qual-
ity and value of both current and pro-
posed product lines. Consumer research is 
excluded from research and development 
costs and included in other marketing 
costs. Research and development costs 
were $364 million in 2007, $282 million 
in 2006 and $280 million in 2005 and are 
reported as selling, general and adminis-
trative expenses.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the SEC issued SAB 
108 to address diversity in practice in 
quantifying fi nancial statement misstate-
ments. SAB 108 requires that we quantify 
misstatements based on their impact 
on each of our fi nancial statements and 
related disclosures. On December 30, 
2006, we adopted SAB 108. Our adoption 
of SAB 108 did not impact our fi nancial 
statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued 
SFAS 157 which defi nes fair value, estab-
lishes a framework for measuring fair 
value, and expands disclosures about fair 
value measurements. The provisions of 
SFAS 157 are effective as of the beginning 
of our 2008 fi scal year. However, the FASB 
has deferred the effective date of SFAS 
157, until the beginning of our 2009 fi scal 
year, as it relates to fair value measure-
ment requirements for nonfi nancial assets 
and liabilities that are not remeasured 
at fair value on a recurring basis. We 

are currently evaluating the impact of 
adopting SFAS 157 on our fi nancial state-
ments. We do not expect our adoption to 
have a material impact on our fi nancial 
statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 

159 which permits entities to choose 
to measure many fi nancial instruments 
and certain other items at fair value. The 
provisions of SFAS 159 are effective as of 
the beginning of our 2008 fi scal year. Our 
adoption of SFAS 159 will not impact our 
fi nancial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued 
SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 to improve, 
simplify, and converge internationally the 
accounting for business combinations and 
the reporting of noncontrolling interests 
in consolidated fi nancial statements. The 
provisions of SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 are 
effective as of the beginning of our 2009 
fi scal year. We are currently evaluating the 
impact of adopting SFAS 141R and SFAS 
160 on our fi nancial statements.

Note 3 — Restructuring and Impairment Charges 

2007 Restructuring and 
Impairment Charge
In 2007, we incurred a charge of $102 million 
($70 million after-tax or $0.04 per share) 
in conjunction with restructuring actions 
primarily to close certain plants and 
rationalize other production lines across 

FLNA, PBNA and PI. The charge was 
comprised of $57 million of asset impair-
ments, $33 million of severance and other 
employee-related costs and $12 million of 
other costs and was recorded in selling, 
general and administrative expenses in 
our income statement. Employee-related 

costs primarily refl ect the termination 
costs for approximately 1,100 employees. 
Substantially all cash payments related to 
this charge are expected to be paid by the 
end of 2008. 

A summary of the restructuring and impairment charge by division is as follows:

In 2006, we incurred a charge of 
$67 million ($43 million after-tax or $0.03 
per share) in conjunction with consolidat-
ing the manufacturing network at FLNA 

by closing two plants in the U.S., and 
rationalizing other assets, to increase 
manufacturing productivity and sup-
ply chain effi ciencies. The charge was 
comprised of $43 million of asset impair-
ments, $14 million of severance and other 

employee-related costs and $10 million 
of other costs. Employee-related costs 
primarily refl ect the termination costs for 
approximately 380 employees. All cash 
payments related to this charge were paid 
by the end of 2007.

2005 Restructuring Charge
In 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 operations, principally 

through headcount reductions. Of this 
charge, $34 million related to FLNA, 
$21 million to PBNA, $16 million to PI 
and $12 million to Corporate. Most of 
this charge related to the termination 

of approximately 700 employees. As of 
December 30, 2006, all terminations had 
occurred, and as of December 29, 2007, 
no accrual remains.

Property, plant and equipment is 

recorded at historical cost. Depreciation 
and amortization are recognized on a 
straight-line basis over an asset’s esti-
mated useful life. Land is not depreciated 
and construction in progress is not depre-
ciated until ready for service. Amortization 

of intangible assets for each of the next 
fi ve years, based on average 2007 foreign 
exchange rates, is expected to be 
$62 million in 2008, $60 million in 2009, 
$60 million in 2010, $59 million in 2011 
and $59 million in 2012.

Depreciable and amortizable assets 
are only evaluated for impairment upon 
a signifi cant change in the operating or 
macroeconomic environment. In these 
circumstances, if an evaluation of the 
undiscounted cash fl ows indicates impair-
ment, the asset is written down to its 
estimated fair value, which is based on 
discounted future cash fl ows. Useful lives 
are periodically evaluated to determine 
whether events or circumstances have 

occurred which indicate the need for 
revision. For additional unaudited infor-
mation on our amortizable brand policies, 
see “Our Critical Accounting Policies” in 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Nonamortizable Intangible Assets
Perpetual brands and goodwill are 
assessed for impairment at least annu-
ally. If the carrying amount of a perpetual 
brand exceeds its fair value, as determined 

by its discounted cash fl ows, an impair-
ment loss is recognized in an amount 
equal to that excess. No impairment 
charges resulted from the required impair-
ment evaluations. The change in the book 
value of nonamortizable intangible assets 
is as follows:

For additional unaudited information 

on our income tax policies, includ-
ing our reserves for income taxes, see 
“Our Critical Accounting Policies” in 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
In 2007, we recognized $129 million 
of non-cash tax benefi ts related to the 
favorable resolution of certain foreign tax 
matters. In 2006, we recognized non-cash 
tax benefi ts of $602 million, substantially 
all of which related to the IRS’s exami-
nation of our consolidated income tax 
returns for the years 1998 through 2002. 
In 2005, we repatriated approximately 
$7.5 billion in earnings previously consid-
ered indefi nitely reinvested outside the 
U.S. and recorded income tax expense 
of $460 million related to the AJCA. The 
AJCA created a one-time incentive for 
U.S. corporations to repatriate undistrib-
uted international earnings by providing 
an 85% dividends received deduction. 

Reserves
A number of years may elapse before 
a particular matter, for which we have 
established a reserve, is audited and fi nally 
resolved. The number of years with open 
tax audits varies depending on the tax 
jurisdiction. Our major taxing jurisdictions 
and the related open tax audits are as 
follows:
(cid:129) 

 the U.S. — in 2006, the IRS issued a 
Revenue Agent’s Report (RAR) related 
to the years 1998 through 2002. We 
are in agreement with their conclu-
sion, except for one matter which we 
continue to dispute. We made the 
appropriate cash payment during 2006 

(cid:129) 

(cid:129) 

(cid:129) 

to settle the agreed-upon issues, and 
we do not anticipate the resolution of 
the open matter will signifi cantly impact 
our fi nancial statements. In 2007, 
the IRS initiated their audit of our 
U.S. tax returns for the years 2003 
through 2005; 
 Mexico — in 2006, we completed and 
agreed with the conclusions of an audit 
of our tax returns for the years 2001 
through 2005; 
 the United Kingdom — audits have 
been completed for all taxable years 
prior to 2004; and
 Canada — audits have been completed 
for all taxable years through 2004. We 
are disputing some of the adjustments 
for the years 1999 through 2004. We 
do not anticipate the resolution of the 
1999 through 2004 tax years will signif-
icantly impact our fi nancial statements. 
The Canadian tax return for 2005 is cur-
rently under audit and no adjustments 
are expected to signifi cantly impact our 
fi nancial statements.

While it is often diffi cult to predict the 
fi nal outcome or the timing of resolution 
of any particular tax matter, we believe 
that our reserves refl ect the probable 
outcome of known tax contingencies. 
We adjust these reserves, as well as the 
related interest, in light of changing facts 
and circumstances. Settlement of any par-
ticular 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. 

For further unaudited information on 
the impact of the resolution of open tax 
issues, see “Other Consolidated Results.” 
In 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, which 

clarifi es the accounting for uncertainty 
in tax positions. FIN 48 requires that we 
recognize in our fi nancial statements the 
impact of a tax position, if that position 
is more likely than not of being sustained 
on audit, based on the technical merits of 
the position. We adopted the provisions 
of FIN 48 as of the beginning of our 2007 
fi scal year. As a result of our adoption 
of FIN 48, we recognized a $7 million 
decrease to reserves for income taxes, 
with a corresponding increase to opening 
retained earnings. 

As of December 29, 2007, the total 

gross amount of reserves for income 
taxes, reported in other liabilities, was 
$1.5 billion. Of that amount, $1.4 billion, 
if recognized, would affect our effective 
tax rate. Any prospective adjustments 
to our reserves for income taxes will 
be recorded as an increase or decrease 
to our provision for income taxes and 
would impact our effective tax rate. In 
addition, we accrue interest related to 
reserves for income taxes in our provi-
sion for income taxes and any associated 
penalties are recorded in selling, general 
and administrative expenses. The gross 
amount of interest accrued, reported in 
other liabilities, was $338 million as of 
December 29, 2007, of which $34 million 
was recognized in 2007.

dictions, is as follows:

Carryforwards and Allowances
Operating loss carryforwards totaling 
$7.1 billion at year-end 2007 are being 
carried forward in a number of foreign 
and state jurisdictions where we are 
permitted to use tax operating losses from 
prior periods to reduce future taxable 
income. These operating losses will expire 
as follows: $0.5 billion in 2008, $5.6 billion 
between 2009 and 2027 and $1.0 billion 
may be carried forward indefi nitely. We 

establish valuation allowances for our 
deferred tax assets if, based on the avail-
able evidence, it is more likely than not 
that some portion or all of the deferred 
tax assets will not be realized.

Undistributed International Earnings
At December 29, 2007, we had approxi-
mately $14.7 billion of undistributed 
international earnings. We intend to con-
tinue to reinvest earnings outside the U.S. 

for the foreseeable future and, therefore, 
have not recognized any U.S. tax expense 
on these earnings. 

Mexico Tax Legislation
In October 2007, Mexico enacted new tax 
legislation effective January 1, 2008. The 
deferred tax impact was not material and 
is refl ected in our effective tax rate in 2007.

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. A majority 
of our employees participate in our stock-
based compensation program, which 
includes our broad-based SharePower pro-
gram established in 1989 to grant an an-
nual award of stock options to all eligible 
employees, based on job level or clas-
sifi cation and, in the case of international 
employees, tenure as well. In addition, 
members of our Board of Directors par-
ticipate in our stock-based compensation 
program in connection with their service 
on our Board. Beginning in 2007, mem-
bers of our Board of Directors no longer 
receive stock-based compensation grants. 
Stock options and restricted stock units 
(RSU) are granted to employees under the 
shareholder-approved 2007 Long-Term 
Incentive Plan (LTIP), our only active stock-
based plan. Stock-based compensation 
expense was $260 million in 2007, 
$270 million in 2006 and $311 million 
in 2005. Related income tax benefi ts 
recognized in earnings were $77 million in 
2007, $80 million in 2006 and $87 million 

in 2005. Stock-based compensation cost 
capitalized in connection with our ongo-
ing business transformation initiative was 
$3 million in 2007, $3 million in 2006 and 
$4 million in 2005. At year-end 2007, 
67 million shares were available for future 
stock-based compensation grants. 

Method of Accounting and 
Our Assumptions
We account for our employee stock 
options, which include grants under our 
executive program and broad-based 
SharePower program, under the fair value 
method of accounting using a Black-
Scholes valuation model to measure stock 
option expense at the date of grant. All 
stock option grants have an exercise price 
equal to the fair market value of our 
common stock on the date of grant and 
generally have a 10-year term. The fair 
value of stock option grants is amortized 
to expense over the vesting period, 
generally three years. Executives who are 
awarded long-term incentives based on 
their performance are offered the choice 
of stock options or RSUs. 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. 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 RSU is settled in a share of our stock 
after the vesting period. Vesting of RSU 
awards for senior offi cers is contingent 
upon the achievement of pre-established 
performance targets. There have been no 
reductions to the exercise price of previ-
ously issued awards, and any repricing 
of awards would require approval of 
our shareholders.

On January 1, 2006, we adopted 
SFAS 123R under the modifi ed prospec-
tive method. Since we had previously 
accounted for our stock-based compensa-
tion plans under the fair value provisions 
of SFAS 123, our adoption did not signifi -
cantly impact our fi nancial position or our 
results of operations. Under SFAS 123R, 
actual tax benefi ts recognized in excess of 
tax benefi ts previously established upon 
grant are reported as a fi nancing cash 
infl ow. Prior to adoption, such excess tax 
benefi ts were reported as an operating 
cash infl ow.

Our weighted-average Black-Scholes fair value assumptions are as follows:

Expected life 
Risk free interest rate 
Expected volatility 
Expected dividend yield 

2007 
6 yrs. 
4.8% 
15% 
1.9% 

2006 
6 yrs. 
4.5% 
18% 
1.9% 

2005
6 yrs.
3.8%
23%
1.8%

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 refl ects move-
ments 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.

pensation activity for the year ended

Note 7 — Pension, Retiree Medical and Savings Plans

Our pension plans cover full-time employ-
ees in the U.S. and certain international 
employees. Benefi ts are determined based 
on either years of service or a combina-
tion of years of service and earnings. U.S. 
and Canada retirees are also eligible for 
medical and life insurance benefi ts (retiree 
medical) if they meet age and service re-
quirements. Generally, our share of retiree 
medical costs is capped at specifi ed dollar 
amounts, which vary based upon years 
of service, with retirees contributing the 
remainder of the costs. 

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 accumu-
lated 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 benefi t of plan changes that increase or 
decrease benefi ts for prior employee ser-
vice (prior service cost/(credit)) is included 
in earnings on a straight-line basis over 
the average remaining service period of 
active plan participants, which is approxi-
mately 11 years for pension expense and 
approximately 13 years for retiree medical 
expense.

On December 30, 2006, we adopted 
SFAS 158. In connection with our adop-
tion, we recognized the funded status 
of our Plans on our balance sheet as of 
December 30, 2006 with subsequent 
changes in the funded status recognized 
in comprehensive income in the years in 
which they occur. In accordance with SFAS 
158, amounts prior to the year of adop-
tion have not been adjusted. SFAS 158 
also requires that, no later than 2008, our 

assumptions used to measure our annual 
pension and retiree medical expense 
be determined as of the balance sheet 
date, and all plan assets and liabilities be 
reported as of that date. Accordingly, as 
of the beginning of our 2008 fi scal year, 
we will change the measurement date for 
our annual pension and retiree medical 
expense and all plan assets and liabilities 
from September 30 to our year-end bal-
ance sheet date. As a result of this change 
in measurement date, we will record an 
after-tax $7 million reduction to 2008 
opening shareholders’ equity which 
will be refl ected in our 2008 fi rst quarter 
Form 10-Q.

our pension and retiree medical plans is

(a)  Expected future benefit payments for our retiree medical plans do not reflect any estimated subsidies expected to be received under the 2003 Medicare Act. 

Subsidies are expected to be approximately $10 million for each of the years from 2008 through 2012 and approximately $70 million in total for 2013 through 2017.

These future benefi ts to benefi ciaries 
include payments from both funded and 
unfunded pension plans. 

In 2008, we expect to make pension 
contributions of up to $150 million, with 
up to $75 million expected to be discre-
tionary. Our cash payments for retiree 
medical are estimated to be approximately 
$85 million in 2008.

Pension Assets
Our pension plan investment strategy 
is reviewed annually and is established 
based upon plan liabilities, an evalua-
tion of market conditions, tolerance for 
risk, and cash requirements for benefi t 
payments. Our investment objective is to 

ensure that funds are available to meet 
the plans’ benefi t obligations when they 
are due. Our overall investment strategy is 
to prudently invest plan assets in high-
quality and diversifi ed equity and debt 
securities to achieve our long-term return 
expectation. As part of our investment 
strategy, we employ certain equity strate-
gies which, in addition to investing in U.S. 
and international common and preferred 
stock, include investing in certain equity- 
and debt-based securities used collectively 
to generate returns in excess of certain 
equity-based indices. Debt-based securi-
ties represent approximately a third of our 
equity strategy portfolio as of year-end 

2007 and 2006. Our investment policy 
also permits the use of derivative instru-
ments to enhance the overall return of the 
portfolio. Our expected long-term rate of 
return on U.S. plan assets is 7.8%, refl ect-
ing estimated long-term rates of return 
of 9.3% from our equity strategies, and 
5.8% from our fi xed income strategies. 
Our target investment allocation is 60% 
for equity strategies and 40% for fi xed 
income strategies. Our actual pension 
plan asset allocations, consistent with our 
investment approach and with how we 
view and manage our overall investment 
portfolio, for the plan years 2007 and 
2006, are as follows:

The expected return on pension plan 
assets is based on our historical experi-
ence, our pension plan investment strat-
egy and our expectations for long-term 
rates of return. We use a market-related 
valuation method for recognizing invest-
ment gains or losses. For this purpose, 
investment gains or losses are the differ-
ence between the expected and actual 
return based on the market-related value 
of assets. This market-related valuation 
method recognizes investment gains or 
losses over a fi ve-year period from the 
year in which they occur, which has the 
effect of reducing year-to-year volatility. 
Pension expense in future periods will be 
impacted as gains or losses are recognized 

in the market-related value of assets over 
the fi ve-year period.

the funded status of our plans.

Pension assets include 5.5 million shares 

of PepsiCo common stock with a market 
value of $401 million in 2007, and 
5.5 million shares with a market value 
of $358 million in 2006. Our investment 
policy limits the investment in PepsiCo 
stock at the time of investment to 10% of 
the fair value of plan assets. 

As of December 29, 2007, approximately 

3%, or approximately $165 million, of 
securities in the investment portfolio of 
our U.S. pension plans are subprime mort-
gage holdings. We do not believe that the 
ultimate realization of such investments 
will result in a material impact to future 

Retiree Medical Cost Trend Rates
An average increase of 8.5% in the cost 
of covered retiree medical benefi ts is 
assumed for 2008. This average increase 
is then projected to decline gradually 
to 5% in 2014 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 Plan
Our U.S. employees are eligible to 
participate in 401(k) savings plans, which 
are voluntary defi ned contribution plans. 
The plans are designed to help employ-
ees accumulate additional savings for 

retirement. We make matching contribu-
tions on a portion of eligible pay based on 
years of service. In 2007 and 2006, our 
matching contributions were $62 million 
and $56 million, respectively.

Note 8 — Noncontrolled Bottling Affi liates 

Our most signifi cant noncontrolled bot-
tling affi liates are PBG and PAS. Sales to 
PBG refl ect approximately 9% of our total 
net revenue in 2007 and approximately 
10% in 2006 and 2005.

The Pepsi Bottling Group
In addition to approximately 35% and 
38% of PBG’s outstanding common stock 
that we own at year-end 2007 and 2006, 
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. Bottling 
equity income includes $174 million, 
$186 million and $126 million of pre-tax 
gains on our sales of PBG stock in 2007,

Our investment in PBG, which includes 

the related goodwill, was $507 million 
and $500 million higher than our owner-
ship interest in their net assets at year-end 
2007 and 2006, respectively. Based upon 
the quoted closing price of PBG shares at 
year-end 2007 and 2006, the calculated 

market value of our shares in PBG 
exceeded our investment balance, exclud-
ing our investment in Bottling Group, LLC, 
by approximately $1.7 billion and 
$1.4 billion, respectively.

Additionally, in 2007, we formed a 
joint venture with PBG, comprising our 

concentrate and PBG’s bottling businesses 
in Russia. PBG holds a 60% majority 
interest in the joint venture and con-
solidates the entity. We account for our 
interest of 40% under the equity method 
of accounting.

Our investment in PAS, which includes 

the related goodwill, was $303 million 
and $316 million higher than our owner-
ship interest in their net assets at year-end 
2007 and 2006, respectively. Based upon 
the quoted closing price of PAS shares 
at year-end 2007 and 2006, the calcu-
lated market value of our shares in PAS 
exceeded our investment by $855 million 
and $173 million, respectively.

Additionally, in 2007, we completed the 

joint purchase of Sandora, LLC with PAS. 

PAS holds a 60% majority interest in the 
joint venture and consolidates the entity. 
We account for our interest of 40% under 
the equity method of accounting. 

Related Party Transactions
Our signifi cant related party transactions 
include our noncontrolled bottling affi li-
ates. We sell concentrate to these affi li-
ates, which they use in the production of 
CSDs and non-carbonated beverages. We 
also sell certain fi nished goods to these 

affi liates, and we receive royalties for the 
use of our trademarks for certain prod-
ucts. Sales of concentrate and fi nished 
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 
affi liates are refl ected in our consolidated 
fi nancial statements as follows:

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

Such amounts are settled on terms 
consistent with other trade receivables 
and payables. See Note 9 regarding our 
guarantee of certain PBG debt.

In addition, we coordinate, on an 

aggregate basis, the contract negotiations 

of sweeteners and other raw material 
requirements for certain of our bottlers. 
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 refl ected in our 
consolidated fi nancial statements. As 
the contracting party, we could be liable 
to these suppliers in the event of any 
nonpayment by our bottlers, but we 
consider this exposure to be remote.

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

In the second quarter of 2007, we 

issued $1 billion of senior unsecured notes 
maturing in 2012. We used a portion of 
the proceeds from the issuance of the 
notes to repay existing short-term debt 
of $500 million, bearing interest at 3.2% 
per year and maturing on May 15, 2007, 
with the balance of the proceeds used 
primarily for general corporate purposes. 
Additionally, in the second quarter of 
2007, we extended the maturity of our 
$1.5 billion unsecured revolving credit 
agreement by one year to 2012, and, in 
the third quarter of 2007, we increased 
the amount of this agreement from 
$1.5 billion to $2 billion. Funds borrowed 
under this agreement may be used for 
general corporate purposes, including 
supporting our outstanding commercial 
paper issuances. This line of credit remains 
unused as of December 29, 2007.
In the third quarter of 2007, we 
updated our U.S. $2.5 billion euro 
medium term note program following the 
expiration of the existing program. Under 
the program, we may issue unsecured 
notes under mutually agreed upon terms 
with the purchasers of the notes. Proceeds 
from any issuance of notes may be used 

for general corporate purposes, except as 
otherwise specifi ed in the related prospec-
tus. As of December 29, 2007, we have 
no outstanding notes under the program. 

In the fourth quarter of 2007, we 
issued $1 billion of senior unsecured 
notes maturing in 2013. We used the 
proceeds from the issuance of the notes 
for general corporate purposes, including 
the repayment of outstanding short-term 
indebtedness. 

As of December 29, 2007, we have 
reclassifi ed $1.4 billion of short-term debt 
to long-term based on our intent and abil-
ity to refi nance on a long-term basis. 

In addition, as of December 29, 2007, 

$806 million of our debt related to bor-
rowings from various lines of credit is 
maintained for our international divi-
sions. These lines of credit are subject to 
normal banking terms and conditions and 
are fully committed to the extent of our 
borrowings.

Interest Rate Swaps
In connection with the issuance of the 
$1 billion notes in the second quarter 
of 2007, we entered into an interest 
rate swap to effectively convert the 
interest rate from a fi xed rate of 5.15% 

to a variable rate based on LIBOR. We 
previously entered into an interest rate 
swap in 2004 to effectively convert the 
interest rate of a specifi c debt issuance 
from a fi xed rate to a variable rate. This 
interest rate swap matured in May 2007. 
The terms of the swaps match the terms 
of the debt they modify. The notional 
amounts of the interest rate swaps 
outstanding at December 29, 2007 and 
December 30, 2006 were $1 billion and 
$500 million, respectively. 

At December 29, 2007, approximately 
56% of total debt, after the impact of the 
related interest rate swap, was exposed 
to variable interest rates, compared to 
63% at December 30, 2006. In addition 
to variable rate long-term debt, all debt 
with maturities 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 affi liate. 
The terms of this swap match the terms 
of the debt it modifi es. The swap matures 
in 2008. The unrealized loss related to 
this swap was approximately $8 million 
at December 29, 2007, resulting in a U.S. 
dollar liability of $58 million. The unreal-
ized gain related to this swap was less 
than $1 million at December 30, 2006, 
resulting in a U.S. dollar liability of 
$50 million. 

We also entered into cross currency 
interest rate swaps to hedge the currency 
exposure on U.S. dollar denominated 
intercompany debt of $45 million at 
December 29, 2007 and $95 million at 
December 30, 2006. The terms of the 
swaps match the terms of the debt they 
modify. The net unrealized losses related 
to these swaps was less than $1 million 
at December 29, 2007 and December 
30, 2006. The outstanding swap matures 
in 2008.

(a)  Reflects non-cancelable commitments as of December 29, 2007 based on year-end foreign exchange rates and excludes any reserves for income taxes under FIN 48 

as we are unable to reasonably predict the ultimate amount or timing of settlement of our reserves for income taxes.

(b) Excludes short-term borrowings reclassified as long-term debt of $1,376 million and includes $273 million of accrued interest related to our zero coupon notes.
(c) Interest payments on floating-rate debt are estimated using interest rates effective as of December 29, 2007.

Most long-term contractual commit-
ments, except for our long-term debt 
obligations, are not recorded on our 
balance sheet. Non-cancelable operating 
leases primarily represent building leases. 
Non-cancelable purchasing commitments 
are primarily for oranges and orange 
juice, packaging materials and cooking 
oil. Non-cancelable marketing commit-
ments are primarily for sports marketing. 
Bottler funding is not refl ected 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 
affi liates 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. 
However, certain guarantees were neces-
sary to facilitate the separation of our bot-
tling 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 $18 million of YUM! Brands, 
Inc.’s (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 proper-
ties. These guarantees would require our 
cash payment if YUM failed to perform 
under these lease obligations. See Note 8 
regarding contracts related to certain of 
our bottlers. 

See “Our Liquidity and Capital 

Resources” in Management’s Discussion 
and Analysis for further unaudited infor-
mation on our borrowings.

Note 10 — Risk Management

(cid:129) 
(cid:129) 

We are exposed to market risks arising 
from adverse changes in:
(cid:129) 

 commodity prices, affecting the cost of 
our raw materials and energy,
 foreign exchange risks, and
 interest rates.
In the normal course of business, we 
manage these risks through a variety of 
strategies, including the use of deriva-
tives. Certain derivatives are designated 
as either cash fl ow or fair value hedges 
and qualify for hedge accounting treat-
ment, while others do not qualify and are 
marked to market through earnings. See 
“Our Business Risks” in Management’s 
Discussion and Analysis for further unau-
dited information on our business risks.
For cash fl ow hedges, changes in fair 
value are deferred in accumulated other 
comprehensive loss within sharehold-
ers’ 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 transactions are limited 
to an underlying exposure. As a result, 
any change in the value of our derivative 
instruments would be substantially 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 
determination that the underlying hedged 
item will not be part of an actual transac-
tion, 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 
refl ected 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 man-
aged through the use of fi xed-price 
purchase orders, pricing agreements, 
geographic diversity and derivatives. We 
use derivatives, with terms of no more 
than two years, to economically hedge 

78

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
price fl uctuations related to a portion of 
our anticipated commodity purchases, 
primarily for natural gas, diesel fuel and 
fruit. For those derivatives that qualify for 
hedge accounting, any ineffectiveness 
is recorded immediately. However, such 
commodity cash fl ow hedges have not 
had any signifi cant ineffectiveness for all 
periods presented. We classify both the 
earnings and cash fl ow impact from these 
derivatives consistent with the underly-
ing hedged item. During the next 12 
months, we expect to reclassify net gains 
of $1 million related to cash fl ow hedges 
from accumulated other comprehensive 
loss into net income. Derivatives used to 
hedge commodity price risks that do not 
qualify for hedge accounting are marked 
to market each period and refl ected in our 
income statement.

Foreign Exchange 
Our operations outside of the U.S. gener-
ate 44% of our net revenue, with Mexico, 
the United Kingdom and Canada compris-
ing 19% of our net revenue. As a result, 
we are exposed to foreign currency risks. 
On occasion, we enter into hedges, pri-
marily forward contracts with terms of no 
more than two years, to reduce the effect 
of foreign exchange rates. Ineffectiveness 
of 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 fi nancing 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 specifi c 
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. These swaps 
are entered into only with strong credit-
worthy counterparties and are settled on 
a net basis.

Fair Value
All derivative instruments are recognized 
on our balance sheet at fair value. The 
fair value of our derivative instruments is 
generally based on quoted market prices. 
Book and fair values of our derivative and 
fi nancial instruments are as follows:

Note 11 — Net Income per Common Share 

Basic net income per common share is net 
income available to common sharehold-
ers divided by the weighted average of 
common shares outstanding during the 
period. Diluted net income per common 
share is calculated using the weighted 
average of common shares outstand-
ing 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 
2.7 million shares in 2007, 0.1 million 
shares in 2006 and 3.0 million shares in 
2005 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 $65.18 in 2007, 
$65.24 in 2006 and $53.77 in 2005.
The computations of basic and 

diluted net income per common share 
are as follows:

Note 12 — Preferred Stock 

As of December 29, 2007 and December 
30, 2006, there were 3 million shares of 
convertible preferred stock authorized. 
The preferred stock was issued only for 
an 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 2007 
and 2006, there were 803,953 preferred 
shares issued and 287,553 and 
320,853 shares outstanding, respec-
tively. The outstanding preferred shares 
had a fair value of $108 million as of 
December 29, 2007 and $100 million 
as of December 30, 2006. 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. Quaker 
made the fi nal award to its ESOP plan in 
June 2001.

Note 13 — Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss 

Comprehensive income is a measure of 
income which includes both net income 
and other comprehensive income or 
loss. Other comprehensive income or 
loss results from items deferred from 

recognition into our income statement. 
Accumulated other comprehensive loss 
is separately presented on our balance 
sheet as part of common shareholders’ 
equity. Other comprehensive income/(loss) 

was $1,294 million in 2007, $456 million 
in 2006 and $(167) million in 2005. The 
accumulated balances for each compo-
nent of other comprehensive loss were 
as follows:

Currency translation adjustment 
Cash flow hedges, net of tax(a) 
Unamortized pension and retiree medical, net of tax(b)  
Minimum pension liability adjustment(c) 
Unrealized gain on securities, net of tax

Management’s Responsibility for 
Financial Reporting

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 sus-
tained 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 

fi nancial statements. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has engaged independent 
registered public accounting fi rm, KPMG LLP, to audit our consolidated fi nancial statements and 
they have expressed an unqualifi ed opinion.

We are committed to providing timely, accurate and understandable information to investors. 

Our commitment encompasses the following:

Maintaining strong controls over fi nancial 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 reasonable assurance that transactions are executed as authorized and 
accurately recorded; that assets are safeguarded; and that accounting records are suffi ciently 
reliable to permit the preparation of fi nancial 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, summarized and reported within the 
specifi ed 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 fi nancial discipline in our strategic and daily business decisions. Our 
Executive Committee is actively involved — from understanding strategies and alternatives to 
reviewing key initiatives and fi nancial 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 Audit 
Committee is comprised of independent directors with the fi nancial literacy, knowledge and 
experience to provide appropriate oversight. We review our critical accounting policies, fi nancial 
reporting and internal control matters with them and encourage their direct communication 
with KPMG LLP, with our General Auditor, and with our General Counsel. We also have a senior 
compliance offi cer to lead and coordinate our compliance policies and practices.

Providing investors with fi nancial results that are complete, transparent and under-
standable. The consolidated fi nancial statements and fi nancial information included in this 
report are the responsibility of management. This includes preparing the fi nancial 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 fi nancial results are delivered from 
that culture of accountability, and we take responsibility for the quality and accuracy of our 
fi nancial reporting. 

Management’s 
Report on Internal 
Control over 
Financial Reporting
To Our Shareholders:
Our management is responsible for establishing 
and maintaining adequate internal control over 
fi nancial reporting, as such term is defi ned in 
Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Under the 
supervision and with the participation of our 
management, including our Chief Executive 
Offi cer and Chief Financial Offi cer, we 
conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness 
of our internal control over fi nancial report-
ing 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 fi nancial reporting is 
effective as of December 29, 2007.

KPMG LLP, an independent registered 
public accounting fi rm, has audited the 
consolidated fi nancial statements included in 
this Annual Report and, as part of their audit, 
has issued their report, included herein, on 
the effectiveness of our internal control over 
fi nancial reporting.

During our fourth fi scal quarter of 2007, we 

continued migrating certain of our fi nancial 
processing systems to SAP software.  This 
software implementation is part of our 
ongoing global business transformation initia-
tive, and we plan to continue implementing 
such software throughout other parts of our 
businesses over the course of the next few 
years.  In connection with the SAP implementa-
tion and resulting business process changes, 
we continue to enhance the design and 
documentation of our internal control 
processes to ensure suitable controls over our 
fi nancial reporting.

Except as described above, there were no 
changes in our internal control over fi nancial 
reporting that have materially affected, or 
are reasonably likely to materially affect, our 
internal control over fi nancial reporting during 
our fourth fi scal quarter of 2007.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable 
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit 
preparation of fi nancial statements in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expendi-
tures 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 
fi nancial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over fi nan-

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 compli-
ance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the consolidated fi nancial statements referred 
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the fi nancial posi-
tion of PepsiCo, Inc. as of December 29, 2007 and December 
30, 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash fl ows 
for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 
29, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally 
accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, 
PepsiCo, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective inter-
nal control over fi nancial reporting as of December 29, 2007, 
based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated 
Framework issued by COSO.

New York, New York 
February 15, 2008

The Board of Directors and Shareholders 
PepsiCo, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying Consolidated Balance 
Sheet of PepsiCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries (“PepsiCo, Inc.” or the 
“Company”) as of December 29, 2007 and December 30, 2006, 
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 29, 2007. We also have 
audited PepsiCo, Inc.’s internal control over fi nancial reporting as 
of December 29, 2007, 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 fi nancial statements, for maintaining effective 
internal control over fi nancial reporting, and for its assessment 
of the effectiveness of internal control over fi nancial report-
ing, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over 
Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on 
these consolidated fi nancial statements and an opinion on the 
Company’s internal control over fi nancial 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 fi nancial state-
ments are free of material misstatement and whether effective 
internal control over fi nancial reporting was maintained in all 
material respects. Our audits of the consolidated fi nancial state-
ments included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting 
the amounts and disclosures in the fi nancial statements, assess-
ing the accounting principles used and signifi cant estimates 
made by management, and evaluating the overall fi nancial 
statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over fi nan-
cial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal 
control over fi nancial reporting, assessing the risk that a mate-
rial weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and 
operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed 
risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures 
as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that 
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over fi nancial reporting is a 

process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the 
reliability of fi nancial reporting and the preparation of fi nancial 
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control 
over fi nancial reporting includes those policies and procedures 
that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reason-
able detail, accurately and fairly refl ect the transactions and
