“We delivered on, or exceeded,
each and every one of
the fi  nancial goals we announced
to shareholders at
the beginning of the year.”

INDRA K. NOOYI

PepsiCo Chairman and 
Chief Executive Offi    cer

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

Last year I described the dual goals we have  unwaveringly 
pursued since we began our transformation back in 2007: 
continue to deliver the strong, consistent financial results 
our shareholders expect year after year, while at the same 
time investing in and transforming the company to ensure it 
is built for long-term, sustainable growth. In short, perform 
while we transform.

Looking back, 2012 was an important year in PepsiCo’s 
transformation journey. We took the necessary actions 
to strengthen our company. We made significant invest-
ments behind our largest global brands. And we changed 
our operating model —  moving from a loose federation 
of countries and regions to a more efficient and effective 
model that leverages PepsiCo’s talent, capabilities and 
resources globally.

In 2013, we continued to reinforce these actions and 
began to realize the benefits. Despite a very challenging 
operating environment that included economic instability 
and uncertainty in many of our key markets around the 
world, we delivered on, or exceeded, each and every one 
of the financial goals we announced to shareholders at the 
beginning of the year.

Our performance in 2013 was strong:

•  Our organic revenue grew 4%.
•  Core constant currency earnings per share (EPS) grew 9%.
•  Core gross margins improved by 90 basis points and core 
operating margins improved by 40 basis points, even 
while we increased investments in the company.
•  We captured more than $900 million of productivity, 

exceeding our target and keeping us on track to deliver 
our three-year $3 billion productivity target for 2012–
2014. This success gave us the confidence to extend our 
goal of $1 billion in annual  productivity savings for five 
years beyond the existing goal (2015–2019).

•  Core net return on invested capital (ROIC) improved 

110 basis points, 60 points ahead of our target.

•  Free cash flow excluding certain items was strong at 

$8.2 billion.

•  PepsiCo increased its annual dividend for the 41st 

 consecutive year in 2013 and returned $6.4 billion to our 
shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.

Organic, core and constant currency results, as well as free cash flow excluding certain items, are non-GAAP 
financial measures. Please refer to “Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Information” beginning on 
page 141 of this Annual Report for more information about these results, including a reconciliation to the 
most directly comparable financial measures in accordance with GAAP.

Equally important were the investments and capacity-building 
initiatives we undertook over the past five years to position our-
selves for superior value creation over the long term:

1.  We invested to enhance the equity of our 22 billion dollar 
brands, which together account for more than 70% of our total 
revenue. Advertising and marketing (A&M) increased and now 
stands at 5.9% of net revenue —  up from 5.2% in 2011. More 
importantly, this investment led to significant brand equity 
improvement. For example, brand equity scores for our global 
beverage and snack brands held or gained in 90% of our strate-
gic markets, and six of our global brands saw brand equity 
hold or gain in 100% of their  strategic markets. Our brand-building 
efforts are paying off. PepsiCo has nine of the 40 largest packaged 
goods trademarks in the U.S. according to IRI, and, according 
to Euromonitor International, nine of the top 50 packaged food 
and soft drink brands measured at Global Brand Name in Russia, 
seven of the top 50 in Mexico, and six of the top 50 in the U.K.

2. We fine-tuned and ramped up our innovation machine, 
increasing our rate of success of new innovations to make 
this one of PepsiCo’s best years ever for innovation. In fact, in 
2013, PepsiCo had nine of the top 50 new food and beverage 
product introductions across all measured U.S. retail channels.* 
Additionally, six new products are on track to achieve at least 
$100 million each in estimated annual retail sales in the U.S.: 
Mountain Dew Kickstart, Tostitos Cantina tortilla chips, Starbucks 
Iced Coffee, Lipton Pure Leaf Tea, Muller Quaker Yogurt and 
Gatorade Frost Glacier Cherry. We also opened a state-of-the-
art food and beverage innovation center in Shanghai, China 
to fuel new product, packaging and equipment innovation for 
our businesses throughout Asia. Innovation as a percentage 
of net revenue grew to 9% in 2013, and as a whole our R&D 
investments have increased more than 25% since 2011.

3. Our developing and emerging markets, a major investment 
area, continued to perform well despite significant volatility in 
key regions. As a group, our developing and emerging markets 
posted 10% organic revenue growth, with particularly strong 
performance in China, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Brazil 
and Turkey. Our convenient, on-trend and affordable products, 
coupled with a long runway for growth in developing and 
emerging markets, give us confidence that they can sustain 
solid growth over the long term.

4. Building from our positions of strength with four of the most 
important nutrition platforms and brands —  Quaker (grains), 
Tropicana (fruits and vegetables), Gatorade (sports nutrition for 
athletes) and Naked Juice (super-premium juices and protein 
smoothies) —  we continued to expand our portfolio of nutritious

products across multiple markets and unlock growth 
opportunities in new product categories, such as dairy, 
hummus and other fresh dips, and baked grain snacks. 
Over the last decade our nutrition business revenue has 
grown substantially and, in 2013, represented approxi-
mately 20% of PepsiCo’s net revenue.

In 2013, we also remained focused on improving the nutri-
tional profile of many of our social snacks and beverages. 
In snacks, we continued our efforts to reduce saturated fat 
levels and sodium content in certain key brands while dial-
ing up our baked offerings and whole grains. In beverages, 
we added new low- and zero-calorie choices and continued 
to work to reduce added sugar in certain key brands. We 
also continued to accelerate our research and technology 
investments in the development of sweetener innovation.

5. Our global go-to-market capability is one of PepsiCo’s 
most important strategic advantages, and, in 2013, we 
 further reinforced this key differentiator in very tangible 
ways. We increased our number of routes in key  markets and 

greatly improved our in-store presence for our snack and 
beverage portfolio. We also empowered our sales teams 
globally with mobile technology to help them enhance 
their merchandising capabilities and drive increased sales.

6. We redoubled our efforts on talent  development and 
improved the quality of the training we offer employees 
by, among other actions, investing in a new foundational 
leadership training program and completely revamping 
PepsiCo University.

“PepsiCo has knocked it out of the
park with new product innovation this
year. Across both snacks and
beverages, they’re consistently bringing
great new products to the shelf.”

PepsiCo associates are highly engaged globally as reflected 
in our 2013 Organizational Health Survey. An  impressive 89% 
of our professional and executive populations responded 
they are proud to work for PepsiCo, which is well above a 
respected cross-industry benchmark. We have seen sus-
tained improvement in both employee commitment and 
satisfaction results over the past decade —  a testament to our 
continued focus on making PepsiCo a great place to work.

PepsiCo’s Cumulative Total
Shareholder Return has
outpaced the S&P 500® on
an annualized basis by
170 basis points since 2000.

The continued focus on execution discipline to drive results 
in the short term, and investments to build capabilities and 
advantage for the long term, has been financially reward-
ing for PepsiCo and our shareholders:

•  Over the past decade, our net revenue compound annual 

growth rate was 9%.

•  Today, our operating margin stands at 15%, in the top tier 
of our food and beverage peer group. In addition, core 
net return on invested capital improved 110 basis points 
in 2013.

 •  In the last 10 years, earnings per share grew at an 8% 
compound annual growth rate, and we returned 
$57 billion in cash to shareholders through a combina-
tion of dividends and share repurchases. 

•  PepsiCo’s Cumulative Total Shareholder Return has out-

paced the S&P 500® on an annualized basis by 170 basis 
points since 2000.

This strong performance is the foundation upon which we 
will build our future. I am more confident than ever that 
PepsiCo today has the right model, capabilities, people and 
portfolio to continue to deliver for our consumers, custom-
ers and shareholders well into the future.

2014 and Beyond

Delivering on our 2013 financial targets demanded the very 
best of the entire PepsiCo management team. The operat-
ing environment was volatile and challenging, and going 
forward we expect the amplitude and frequency of change 
only to increase.

Growth will continue to be fueled by developing and 
emerging markets. The growth rates of developing and 
emerging markets are expected to continue to outpace 
developed markets for the foreseeable future. And by 2030, 
experts estimate an additional 3 billion people may join 
the middle class. These trends present excellent growth 
opportunities, but will require significant investment 
and development of the right people, skills and tools to 
compete. We have already established strong positions in 
developing and emerging markets, but need to continue 
to invest in building our capabilities in these markets to 
capture these growth opportunities.

The consumer shift to more nutritious products will 
accelerate. Trends such as a desire for convenient, 
functional nutrition, local and natural ingredients, and 
 better-for-you snack and beverage options have firmly 
taken hold and will continue to accelerate around the 
world. We anticipated these trends early on and have taken 
significant actions to balance our portfolio of offerings. 
Additionally, we have improved the nutritional profile 
of many of our social snacks and beverages by reducing 
added sugar, sodium and saturated fat in key brands. We 
are building from an advantaged portfolio, but need to 
accelerate our efforts to continue to meet this consumer 
demand and  capture this growth opportunity.

Digital technology is disrupting every business at every 
point in the value chain, and the way we interact with 
retailers, shoppers and consumers is changing at a 
 dramatic pace. Being a  laggard is simply not an option. 
In a digital landscape that is incredibly dynamic, we are 
focusing on new digital tools, technologies and retail plat-
forms to allow us to reach consumers differently, shift our 
advertising and marketing model, improve our analytics 
and enhance the efficiency of our sales force. Cybersecurity 
is also a real concern, requiring focused investment and 
constant diligence against threats.

2013 ANNUAL REPORT

We should anticipate geopolitical and social  instability 
to be the norm, not the exception. Income inequality, com-
petition for natural resources, and geopolitical tensions 
and conflict will continue to pose risks to doing business 
in many countries around the world. Doing business in this 
environment requires continued investment to keep our 
people safe and protect our supply chain against potential 
threats. Fortunately, PepsiCo’s local teams have an intimate 
understanding of how to do business in each community 
in which we operate, allowing them to adapt to changing 
circumstances. For example, in Egypt, amid political unrest, 
PepsiCo associates ensured operations were not disrupted 
and looked for opportunities to expand the business even 
in a challenging period.

Extreme weather patterns are expected to persist, 
 forcing companies to deal with commodity scarcity and 
volatility. Warmer temperatures, erratic rainfall patterns, 
new pests, floods and wildfires all threaten the produc-
tivity and availability of agricultural inputs. Our size and 
scale allow us to manage our commodity supply cost and 
 inflation risks through our centralized strategic platforms 
and our multiple sourcing pipelines. But managing through 
these fluctuations requires additional investment and con-
tingency planning. For example, our R&D team is working 
on developing multiple formulations of various products 
to be able to cope with changes in raw material availability 
and price, while delivering on taste and quality.

PepsiCo’s top 12 executives
collectively have nearly
200 years of experience in
the Consumer Packaged
Goods industry.

This “new normal” will require continued focus and invest-
ment, and we are confident we have the ingredients for 
success: geographic diversity; a complementary, related 
and diverse product portfolio; an efficient and effective 
operating model; an experienced, top-notch management 
team; and a culture and ethics that are second to none.

Better Together: 
The Benefi  ts of the 
PepsiCo Portfolio

PepsiCo’s portfolio competes in two focused, related 
categories: foods and beverages. Both categories have 
attractive global growth prospects of 5% or more, and 
our convenient foods and beverages businesses are fairly 
evenly balanced, with about half of our 2013 revenue 
coming from each. More importantly, our categories and 
products are highly complementary, sharing the same 
customers, consumers and occasions. It is the “related 
diversity” of the PepsiCo portfolio that we believe gives 
us an advantaged position over the competition.

The Power of PepsiCo’s Portfolio to Enable the Next 
Wave of Growth. Foods and beverages are consumed 
together, and PepsiCo’s portfolio offers delicious and 
convenient food and beverage options for a wide range 
of occasions from morning to evening. For example, our 
consumers might wake up to a breakfast of Quaker Real 
Medleys and Trop50, enjoy a Pepsi MAX and SunChips with 
lunch, unwind with Stacy’s pita chips, Sabra hummus and a 
Lipton beverage, and host a party with an array of Frito-Lay 
and Pepsi products. No matter the consumer or the occa-
sion, we seek to provide a food or beverage solution.

With joint consumer insights, R&D and innovation across 
foods and beverages, we have capabilities that give us 
a leg up on the competition when it comes to knowing 
and developing what consumers want to eat and drink 
throughout the day. There are overlapping “demand 
moments” or “need states” that could be satisfied by a food 
or a beverage. Our capabilities position us to develop the 
best solutions, be it a food or beverage, or even something 
in-between, to meet the needs of our consumers.

Our portfolio allows us to capture coincident eating 
and drinking occasions using joint marketing and selling. 
When consumers reach for a Frito-Lay snack, we want them 
to pair it with a refreshing Pepsi beverage or any of our 
other diverse beverage offerings. Our scale and relationship 
with our retailers allow us to create in-store destinations 
to influence consumer shopping patterns and decisions to 
increase this coincidence of purchase. For example, during 
the 4th of July holiday season this past year in the U.S., the

enable us to support the growth of our complementary 
categories. For example, an existing PepsiCo beverage busi-
ness in a market can enable us to enter the snacks business 
in that market.

And having both foods and beverages allows us to launch 
and broadly distribute new, convergent food and beverage 
products —  for example, foods through chilled beverage 
distribution, beverages through ambient food distribution 
and convergent products that “ snackify” beverages.

The Power of PepsiCo’s Portfolio for Our Customers. 
The retail landscape today is more competitive than ever 
before, including competition for share of the shopper’s 
basket and the retail shelf. The scale, ubiquity and related 
velocity of our categories make us an essential partner for 
retailers, who look to PepsiCo to drive a significant share 
of their growth. Our relationships with our retail partners 

And our broad portfolio has been a strong competitive 
advantage in foodservice. The runaway success of Doritos 
Locos Tacos, a culinary innovation to drive growth for a 
PepsiCo foodservice customer, is just one example. Doritos 
Locos Tacos have exceeded $1 billion in retail sales since 
their launch in 2012. In 2013, PepsiCo won the Buffalo Wild 
Wings account, giving us access to more than 1,000 loca-
tions, by demonstrating the advantages of our combined 
portfolio. Foodservice customers also see the advantage 
of partnering with PepsiCo because of our access to retail 
partners and the option of getting foodservice customer-
inspired snacks onto the shelves in grocery stores.

2013 ANNUAL REPORT

The Structural Cost Benefits and Global Capability. 
Beyond what the customers and consumers see on the 
shelf, our business model drives structural cost benefits of 
$800 million to $1 billion across PepsiCo globally each year. 
These financial benefits are achieved through regional 
scale cost leverage obtained through procurement, supply 
chain, go-to-market and selling functions, and G&A. We 
also see significant financial benefits and savings from 
having corporate functions integrated globally, such as 
Global Procurement, R&D, Human Resources and Business 
Information Services.

How We 
 “Future-Proof” 
PepsiCo: 
Performance 
with Purpose

Looking beyond direct cost savings, these global platforms 
create capability advantages for us across the entire value 
chain. For example, our global marketing capabilities 
allow us to increase the share of dollars that go to working 
A&M, facilitate the sharing of sports and talent properties, 
and enable “lift and shift” of brand-building models. With 
a global R&D function, investments made are leveraged to 
drive innovation across both foods and beverages.

I began this letter by talking about our focus on two 
goals: delivering on the short term while investing for the 
long term. One of the great balancing acts as CEO is to 
manage for both level and duration. And I believe any CEO 
should be able to answer the question “How are you future- 
proofing your company?”

As the operating environment has become more volatile 
and complex, this is a tall order. But I firmly believe that 
the goals we articulated in 2007 under Performance with 

8
8

PEPSICO
PEPSICO

Purpose hold the answer. As long as Performance with 
Purpose is our guide, I believe PepsiCo will continue to 
deliver long-term, sustainable growth.

Performance with Purpose is PepsiCo’s recognition that 
the company’s success is inextricably linked to society’s 
success. In order to do well by our shareholders, we also 
have to take into account the needs and concerns of a wide 
range of stakeholders. If our financial success comes at the 
expense of the environment, our consumers or our com-
munities, we will not be viable in the long run.

In practice, Performance with Purpose means we provide 
a range of foods and beverages from treats to healthy 
eats; we find innovative ways to minimize our impact on 
the environment and lower our costs through energy and 
water conservation as well as reduced use of packaging 
material; we provide a safe and inclusive workplace for our 
employees globally; and we respect, support and invest in 
the local communities in which we operate.

Performance with Purpose remains our true north, and 
it is more important than ever. I encourage you to please 
take the time to read our latest Sustainability Report, which 
details our work and progress toward our goals around 
the world.

As 2014 begins, every PepsiCo associate feels an incredible 
sense of duty and responsibility to those who depend on 
us to offer sustainable financial returns over the long term. 
It is for these long-term investors that we run PepsiCo.

I’m confident that PepsiCo’s best days are yet to come, and 
I’m honored more than ever to serve as Chairman and CEO.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains statements reflecting our views about our future performance 
that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform 
Act of 1995 (the “Reform Act”). Statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning 
of  the  Reform Act  are  generally  identified  through  the  inclusion  of  words  such  as  “aim,”  “anticipate,” 
“believe,”  “drive,”  “estimate,”  “expect,”  “expressed  confidence,”  “forecast,”  “future,”  “goals,” 
“guidance,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “position,” “potential,” “project,” “ seek,” “should,” “strategy,” 
“target,”  “will”  or  similar  statements  or  variations  of  such  words  and  other  similar  expressions.  All 
statements addressing our future operating performance, and statements addressing events and developments 
that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of 
the Reform Act. 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 statement. 
These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in “Risk Factors” in Item 1A. 
and  “Management’s  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and  Results  of  Operations  –  Our 
Business Risks” in Item 7. 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 
below and elsewhere in this report is by no means all inclusive but is designed to highlight what we believe 
are important factors to consider when evaluating our future performance.

Item 1.  Business.

PART I

PepsiCo, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in 1919 and was reincorporated in North Carolina in 1986. When 
used in this report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “PepsiCo” and the “Company” mean PepsiCo, Inc. and its 
consolidated subsidiaries.

We  are  a  leading  global  food  and  beverage  company  with  brands  that  are  respected  household  names 
throughout the world. Through our operations, authorized bottlers, contract manufacturers and other third 
parties, we make, market, sell and distribute a wide variety of convenient and enjoyable foods and beverages, 
serving customers and consumers in more than 200 countries and territories. 

Our management monitors a variety of key indicators to evaluate our business results and financial condition.  
These indicators include growth in volume, revenue and organic revenue, growth in operating profit and EPS 
(as reported and excluding certain items and the impact of foreign exchange translation), market share, safety, 
product and service quality, organizational health, brand equity, employee diversity, net commodity inflation, 
productivity savings, net capital spending, free cash flow and free cash flow excluding certain items, cash 
returned to shareholders in the forms of share repurchases and dividends, advertising and marketing expenses, 
return on invested capital (ROIC), and gross and operating margin change. 

Performance with Purpose is our goal to deliver sustained value by providing a wide range of foods and 
beverages, from treats to healthy eats; finding innovative ways to minimize our impact on the environment 
and lower our costs through energy and water conservation as well as reduce use of packaging material; 
providing a safe and inclusive workplace for our employees globally; and respecting, supporting and investing 
in the local communities in which we operate.  PepsiCo was again recognized for its leadership in this area 
in 2013 by earning a place on the prestigious Dow Jones Sustainability World Index for the seventh consecutive 
year and on the North America Index for the eighth consecutive year.

Our Operations

We are organized into four business units, as follows:

1)  PepsiCo Americas Foods, which includes Frito-Lay North America (FLNA), Quaker Foods North 

America (QFNA) and all of our Latin American food and snack businesses (LAF);

2)  PepsiCo Americas Beverages (PAB), which includes all of our North American and Latin American 

beverage businesses;

3)  PepsiCo Europe (Europe), which includes all beverage, food and snack businesses in Europe and 

South Africa; and

4)  PepsiCo Asia,  Middle  East  and Africa  (AMEA),  which  includes  all  beverage,  food  and  snack 

businesses in AMEA, excluding South Africa.

Our four business units are comprised of six reportable segments (also referred to as divisions), as follows:

•  FLNA,
•  QFNA,
•  LAF,
•  PAB,
•  Europe, and
•  AMEA.

distributors and retailers. PAB also sells concentrate and finished goods for our brands to authorized and 
independent  bottlers,  who  in  turn  also  sell  our  brands  as  finished  goods  to  independent  distributors  and 
retailers in certain markets. PAB’s net revenue was $21.1 billion, $21.4 billion and $22.4 billion in 2013,

or  in  conjunction  with  third  parties,  makes,  markets  and  sells  ready-to-drink  tea  products  through  an 
international joint venture with Unilever (under the Lipton brand name).  Further, we license the Tropicana 
brand for use in China on co-branded juice products to a strategic alliance with Tingyi (Cayman Islands) 

4

Holding Corp. (Tingyi).  AMEA’s net revenue was $6.5 billion, $6.7 billion and $7.4 billion in 2013, 2012 
and 2011, respectively, and approximated 10% of our total net revenue in 2013 and 2012 and 11% of our 
total net revenue in 2011. 

See Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information about our transaction with 
Tingyi in 2012.

Our Distribution Network
Our products are brought to market through direct-store-delivery (DSD), customer warehouse and distributor 
networks. The distribution system used depends on customer needs, product characteristics and local trade 
practices. These distribution systems are described under the heading “Our Distribution Network” contained 
in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Ingredients and Other Supplies
The principal ingredients we use in our food and beverage businesses are apple, orange and pineapple juice 
and other juice concentrates, aspartame, corn, corn sweeteners, flavorings, flour, grapefruit and other fruits, 
oats, oranges, potatoes, raw milk, rice, seasonings, sucralose, sugar, vegetable and essential oils, and wheat. 
Our  key  packaging  materials  include  plastic  resins,  including  polyethylene  terephthalate  (PET)  and 
polypropylene resins used for plastic beverage bottles and film packaging used for snack foods, aluminum 
used for cans, glass bottles, closures, cardboard and paperboard cartons. Fuel and natural gas are also important 
commodities for us due to their use in our facilities and in the trucks delivering our products. We employ 
specialists to secure adequate supplies of many of these items and have not experienced any significant 
continuous shortages. Many of these ingredients, raw materials and commodities are purchased in the open 
market. The prices we pay for such items are subject to fluctuation, and we manage this risk through the use 
of fixed-price contracts and purchase orders, pricing agreements and derivatives. In addition, risk to our 
supply of certain raw materials is mitigated through purchases from multiple geographies and suppliers. 
When prices increase, we may or may not pass on such increases to our customers. See Note 10 to our 
consolidated financial statements for additional information on how we manage our exposure to commodity 
costs. See also “Item 1A. Risk Factors – Our operating results may be adversely affected by increased costs, 
disruption of supply or shortages of raw materials and other supplies.”

Our Brands

We own numerous valuable trademarks which are essential to our worldwide businesses, including Agusha, 
Amp Energy, Aquafina, Aquafina Flavorsplash, Aunt Jemima, Cap’n Crunch, Cheetos, Chester’s, Chipsy, 
Chudo, Cracker Jack, Diet Mountain Dew, Diet Mug, Diet Pepsi, Diet Sierra Mist, Domik v Derevne, Doritos,

SunChips, Tonus, Tostitos, Trop 50, Tropicana, Tropicana Farmstand, Tropicana Pure Premium, Tropicana 
Twister, Vesely Molochnik, Walkers and Ya. We also hold long-term licenses to use valuable trademarks in 
connection with our products in certain markets, including Dole and Ocean Spray.  We also distribute Rockstar 
Energy  drinks,  Muscle  Milk  protein  shakes  and  certain  DPSG  brands,  including  Dr  Pepper,  Crush  and 
Schweppes, in certain markets. Joint ventures in which we have an ownership interest either own or have 
the right to use certain trademarks, such as Lipton, Müller, Sabra and Starbucks. Trademarks remain valid 
so long as they are used properly for identification purposes, and we emphasize correct use of our trademarks. 
We have authorized, through licensing arrangements, the use of many of our trademarks in such contexts as 

5

snack food joint ventures and beverage bottling appointments. In addition, we license the use of our trademarks 
on merchandise that is sold at retail for the primary purpose of enhancing brand awareness. 

We  either  own  or  have  licenses  to  use  a  number  of  patents  which  relate  to  some  of  our  products,  their 
packaging, the processes for their production and the design and operation of various equipment used in our 
businesses. Some of these patents are licensed to others.

Seasonality

Our businesses are affected by seasonal variations. For instance, our beverage sales are higher during the 
warmer months and certain food and dairy sales are higher in the cooler months. Weekly beverage and snack 
sales are generally highest in the third quarter due to seasonal and holiday-related patterns, and generally 
lowest in the first quarter. However, taken as a whole, seasonality does not have a material impact on our 
consolidated financial results.

Our Customers

Our primary customers include wholesale and other distributors, foodservice customers, grocery stores, drug 
stores, convenience stores, discount/dollar stores, mass merchandisers, membership stores and authorized 
independent bottlers. We normally grant our independent bottlers exclusive contracts to sell and manufacture 
certain beverage products bearing our trademarks within a specific geographic area. These arrangements 
provide us with the right to charge our independent bottlers for concentrate, finished goods and Aquafina 
royalties and specify the manufacturing process required for product quality. We also grant distribution rights 
to our independent bottlers for certain beverage products bearing our trademarks for specified geographic 
areas.

In 2013, sales to Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (Wal-Mart), including Sam’s Club (Sam’s), represented approximately 
11% of our total net revenue. Our top five retail customers represented approximately 30% of our 2013 North 
American  (United  States  and  Canada)  net  revenue,  with  Wal-Mart  (including  Sam’s)  representing 
approximately 17%. These percentages include concentrate sales to our independent bottlers which were 
used in finished goods sold by them to these retailers.

See “Our Customers” contained in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition 
and Results of Operations” and Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements for more information on our 
customers, including our independent bottlers.

Our Competition

Our businesses operate in highly competitive markets. Our beverage, snack and food brands compete against 
global, regional, local and private label manufacturers and other value competitors. In many countries in 
which we do business, The Coca-Cola Company is our primary beverage competitor. Other food and beverage 
competitors include, but are not limited to, ConAgra Foods, Inc., DPSG, Kellogg Company, Kraft Foods 
Group, Inc., 
International, Inc., Monster Beverage Corporation, Nestlé S.A., Red Bull GmbH and 
Snyder’s-Lance, Inc. In many markets, we also compete against numerous regional and local companies.

Many of our snack and food brands hold significant leadership positions in the snack and food industry 
worldwide. However, The Coca-Cola Company has significant carbonated soft drink (CSD) share advantage 
in many markets outside the United States.

Our beverage, snack and food brands compete on the basis of price, quality, product variety and distribution. 
Success  in  this  competitive  environment  is  dependent  on  effective  promotion  of  existing  products, 
introduction of new products and the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns, marketing programs, product 
packaging, pricing, increased efficiency in production techniques, new vending and dispensing equipment 

6

and brand and trademark development and protection. We believe that the strength of our brands, innovation 
and marketing, coupled with the quality of our products and flexibility of our distribution network, allows 
us to compete effectively.

(1)  The categories and category share information in the charts above are through December 2013 based on data provided and verified by 
Information Resources, Inc. (IRI). The above charts include data from most major retail chains (including Wal-Mart) but exclude data from 
certain retailers that do not report to this service. 

(2)  Does not sum due to rounding.

Research and Development

We engage in a variety of research and development activities and continue to invest to accelerate growth 
in these activities and to drive innovation globally. These activities principally involve production, processing 
and packaging and include: development of new ingredients and products; reformulation of existing products; 
improvement in the quality of existing products; improvement and modernization of manufacturing processes; 
improvements in product quality, safety and integrity; improvements in packaging technology; improvements 
in dispensing equipment; development and implementation of new technologies to enhance the quality and 
value of current and proposed product lines; efforts focused on identifying opportunities to transform and 
grow our product portfolio, including the development of sweetener and flavor innovation and recipes that 
reduce sodium levels in certain of our products. Our research centers are located around the world, including 
in China, Germany, India, Mexico, Russia, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States, and leverage 
nutrition science, food science and consumer insights to meet our strategy to develop healthful, convenient 
foods and beverages. In 2013, we continued to expand our portfolio of nutritious foods and beverages that 
include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy, nuts, seeds and key nutrients, as well as offerings that 
provide a functional benefit, such as addressing the performance needs of athletes. We continue to refine our 
food and beverage portfolio to meet changing consumer needs by developing a broader portfolio of product 
choices. We also made investments to minimize our impact on the environment, including innovation in our 
packaging to make it increasingly sustainable, and developed and implemented new technologies to enhance 
the quality and value of our current and future products, as well as made investments to incorporate into our 
operations best practices and technology to support sustainable agriculture and to reduce our impact on the 
environment. We continue to make investments to conserve energy and raw materials, reduce waste in our 
facilities, recycle containers, use renewable resources and optimize package design to use less materials. 
Consumer research is excluded from research and development costs and included in other marketing costs. 
Research and development costs were $665 million in 2013, $552 million in 2012 and $525 million in 2011 
and are reported within selling, general and administrative expenses.

Regulatory Environment and Environmental Compliance

The conduct of our businesses, including the production, storage, distribution, sale, advertising, marketing, 
labeling, safety and health practices, 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 laws and regulations administered by government entities and agencies outside the United States 
in markets in which our products are made, manufactured or sold. It is our policy to abide by the laws and 
regulations around the world that apply to our businesses.

We are required to comply with a variety of U.S. laws and regulations, including but not limited to: the 
Federal  Food,  Drug  and  Cosmetic Act  and  various  state  laws  governing  food  safety;  the  Food  Safety 
Modernization Act; the Occupational Safety and Health Act; the Clean Air Act; the Clean Water Act; the 
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act; the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and 
Liability Act; the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Act; the Lanham Act; various federal and state laws and 
regulations  governing  competition  and  trade  practices;  various  federal  and  state  laws  and  regulations 
governing our employment practices, including those related to equal employment opportunity, such as the 
Equal Employment Opportunity Act and the National Labor Relations Act; customs and foreign trade laws 
and regulations; and laws regulating sale of certain of our products in schools. In our business dealings, we 
are also required to comply with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the Trade Sanctions Reform and 
Export Enhancement Act. We are also subject to various state and local statutes and regulations, including 
state consumer protection laws such as Proposition 65 in California which requires that, unless a safe harbor 
level exists and has been met, a specific warning appear on any product that contains a substance listed by 
the State of California as having been found to cause cancer or birth defects.  See also “Item 1A. Risk Factors 
– Changes in the legal and regulatory environment could limit our business activities, increase our operating 
costs, reduce demand for our products or result in litigation.” 

We are also subject to numerous similar and other laws and regulations outside the U.S., including but not 
limited to laws and regulations governing food safety, health and safety, anti-corruption and data privacy. In 
many jurisdictions, compliance with competition is of special importance to us due to our competitive position 
in  those  jurisdictions  as  is  compliance  with  the  anti-corruption  laws.   We  rely  on  legal  and  operational 
compliance programs, as well as in-house and outside counsel, to guide our businesses in complying with 
applicable laws and regulations of the countries in which we do business.  See also “Item 1A. Risk Factors 
– Changes in the legal and regulatory environment could limit our business activities, increase our operating 
costs, reduce demand for our products or result in litigation.” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors – Our financial 
performance could be adversely affected if we are unable to grow our business in emerging and developing 
markets or as a result of unstable political conditions, civil unrest or other developments and risks in the 
markets where our products are sold.”

Certain jurisdictions in which our products are sold have either imposed, or are considering imposing, taxes 
or other limitations on certain ingredients we use or products we sell. For example, certain federal, state and 
local governments in the United States, and in certain other countries in which our products are sold, including 
Mexico, have either imposed or are considering the imposition of taxes and other limitations on the sale of 
certain of our products, including certain of our products that exceed specified caloric contents or include 
specified ingredients such as caffeine.  Certain of these governments are also considering proposals to require 
labeling of foods that are, or contain ingredients that are, genetically modified and to restrict the use of benefit 
programs, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, to purchase certain beverages and foods. 
In addition, legislation has been enacted in certain U.S. states and in certain other countries in which our 
products are sold that requires collection and recycling of containers or that prohibits the sale of our beverages 
in certain non-refillable containers, unless a deposit or other fee is charged. It is possible that similar or more 
restrictive legal requirements may be proposed or enacted in the future.  See also “Item 1A. Risk Factors –

Changes in the legal and regulatory environment could limit our business activities, increase our operating 
costs, reduce demand for our products or result in litigation.” and  “Item 1A. Risk Factors – Imposition of 
new taxes, disagreements with tax authorities or additional tax liabilities could adversely affect our financial 
performance.”

The cost of compliance with U.S. and foreign laws does not have a material financial impact on our results 
of operations. 

We are also subject to national and local environmental laws in the United States and in foreign countries in 
which we do business, including laws related to water consumption and treatment, wastewater discharge and 
air  emissions.  In  the  United  States,  our  facilities  must  comply  with  the  Comprehensive  Environmental 
Response, Compensation and Liability Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and other federal 
and state laws regarding handling, storage, release and disposal of wastes generated on-site and sent to third-
party owned and operated off-site licensed facilities. Our policy is to meet all applicable environmental 
compliance  requirements,  and  we  have  internal  programs  in  place  to  enhance  our  global  environmental 
compliance. We and our subsidiaries are subject to environmental remediation obligations in the normal 
course of business, as well as remediation and related indemnification obligations in connection with certain 
historical activities and contractual obligations, including those of businesses acquired by our subsidiaries. 
While these environmental and indemnification obligations cannot be predicted with certainty, environmental 
compliance costs have not had, and are not expected to have, a material impact on our capital expenditures, 
earnings or competitive position. See also “Item 1A. Risk Factors – Changes in the legal and regulatory 
environment could limit our business activities, increase our operating costs, reduce demand for our products 
or result in litigation.”

The  Iran  Threat  Reduction  and  Syria  Human  Rights Act  of  2012  (ITRA)  requires  disclosure  of  certain 
activities relating to Iran by PepsiCo or its affiliates that occurred during our 2013 fiscal year.  As previously 
disclosed, one of our foreign subsidiaries historically maintained a small office in Iran, which provided sales 
support to independent bottlers in Iran in connection with in-country sales of foreign-owned beverage brands, 
and which was not in contravention of any applicable U.S. sanctions laws. In 2012, our foreign subsidiary 
took steps to close its office in Iran, including terminating all three of its employees, and the office has ceased 
all commercial activity since the enactment of ITRA.  During 2013, our foreign subsidiary continued the 
process of winding down its office in Iran pursuant to a general license from the U.S. Treasury Department’s 
Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) until the expiration of such license in March 2013. The subsidiary 
did not engage in any activities in Iran other than wind-down activities in 2013, or have any revenues or 
profits attributable to activities in Iran during 2013. The office of the subsidiary continues to have one local 
bank account, containing aggregate deposits of approximately $180, with a bank identified on the list of 
“Specially Designated Nationals” maintained by OFAC. The subsidiary has applied for a license from OFAC 
to authorize continuation and completion of wind-down, including closing the bank account, and plans to 
resume and complete such wind-down activities upon receipt thereof. 

Employees

As of December 28, 2013, we employed approximately 274,000 people worldwide, including approximately 
106,000 people within the United States. Our employment levels are subject to seasonal variations. We or 
our subsidiaries are a party to numerous collective bargaining agreements. We expect that we will be able 
to renegotiate these collective bargaining agreements on satisfactory terms when they expire. We believe 
that relations with our employees are generally good.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors. 

In addition to the other information set forth in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, you should carefully 
consider the following factors which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, 
results of operations or stock price. The risks below are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and 
uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also adversely affect 
our business, financial condition, results of operations or stock price.

Demand for our products may be adversely affected by changes in consumer preferences or any inability 
on our part to innovate or market our products effectively.

We are a global food and beverage company operating in highly competitive categories and we rely on 
continued demand for our products. To generate revenues and profits, we must sell products that appeal to 
our customers and to consumers. Any significant changes in consumer preferences or any inability on our 
part to anticipate or react to such changes could result in reduced demand for our products and erosion of 
our competitive and financial position. Our success depends on: our ability to anticipate and respond to shifts 
in consumer trends, including increased demand for products that meet the needs of consumers who are 
concerned with health and wellness; our product quality; our ability to extend our portfolio of convenient 
foods and beverages in growing markets; our ability to develop or acquire new products that are responsive 
to certain consumer preferences, including reducing sodium, added sugars and saturated fat; developing a 
broader portfolio of product choices and increasing non-carbonated beverage offerings; our ability to develop 
sweetener innovation; our ability to improve the production and packaging of our products; and our ability 
to respond to competitive product and pricing pressures. For example, our growth rate may be adversely 
affected if we are unable to maintain or grow our current share of the liquid refreshment beverage market in 
North America, or our current share of the snacks market globally, or if demand for our products does not 
grow in emerging and developing markets.

In general, 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;  consumer  concerns  regarding  the  health  effects  of  ingredients,  such  as  4-MeI, 
acrylamide, artificial sweeteners, caffeine, high-fructose corn syrup, saturated fat, trans fats, sodium, sugar, 
or other product ingredients or attributes, including genetically modified ingredients; changes in product 
packaging, including convenience packaging; changes in social trends that impact travel, vacation or leisure 
activity patterns; changes in weather patterns or seasonal consumption cycles; negative publicity (whether 
or not valid) resulting from regulatory action, litigation against us or other companies in our industry or 
10

negative or inaccurate posts or comments in the media, including social media, about us, our products or 
advertising  campaigns  and  marketing  programs;  consumer  perception  of  social  media  posts  or  other 
information disseminated by us or our employees, agents, customers, suppliers, bottlers, distributors, joint 
venture partners or other third parties; a downturn in economic conditions; taxes imposed on our products; 
or consumer perception of our employees, agents, customers, suppliers, bottlers, joint venture partners or 
other third parties or the business practices of such parties. Any of these changes may reduce consumers’ 
willingness to purchase our products. See also “Changes in the legal and regulatory environment could limit 
our business activities, increase our operating costs, reduce demand for our products or result in litigation.”, 
“Imposition of new taxes, disagreements with tax authorities or additional tax liabilities could adversely 
affect our financial performance.”, “Our financial performance could suffer if we are unable to compete 
effectively.”, “Unfavorable economic conditions may have an adverse impact on our business results or 
financial condition.” and “Any damage to our reputation could have a material adverse effect on our business, 
financial condition and results of operations.” 

Our continued success is also dependent on our product innovation, including maintaining a robust pipeline 
of  new  products  and  improving  the  quality  of  existing  products,  and  the  effectiveness  of  our  product 
packaging, advertising campaigns and marketing programs, including our ability to successfully adapt to a 
rapidly changing media environment, such as through use of social media and online advertising campaigns 
and marketing programs. Although we devote significant resources to the actions mentioned above, there 
can be no assurance as to our continued ability 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 and marketing programs 
are inherently uncertain, especially as to their appeal to consumers. Our failure to make the right strategic 
investments to drive innovation or successfully launch new products or variants of existing products could 
decrease demand for our existing products by negatively affecting consumer perception of existing brands, 
as well as result in inventory write-offs and other costs.  See also “Any damage to our reputation could have 
a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.”

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

The conduct of our businesses, including the production, storage, distribution, sale, display, advertising, 
marketing, labeling, health and safety practices, 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 laws and regulations administered by government entities and agencies outside the United 
States in markets in which our products are made, manufactured or sold, including in emerging and developing 
markets where legal and regulatory systems may be less developed, and in some cases, less certain. These 
laws and regulations and interpretations thereof may change, sometimes dramatically, as a result of a variety 
of factors, including political, economic or social events.  Such changes may include changes in: food and 
drug laws; laws related to product labeling, advertising and marketing practices; laws regarding the import 
or export of our products or ingredients used in our products; laws and programs restricting the sale and 
advertising  of  certain  of  our  products;  laws  and  programs  aimed  at  reducing,  restricting  or  eliminating 
ingredients present in certain of our products; laws and programs aimed at discouraging the consumption or 
altering the package or portion size of certain of our products, including laws imposing restrictions on the 
use of government programs, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, to purchase certain 
of  our  products;  increased  regulatory  scrutiny  of,  and  increased  litigation  involving,  product  claims  and 
concerns regarding the effects on health of ingredients in, or attributes of, certain of our products, including 
without  limitation  those  found  in  energy  drinks;  state  consumer  protection  laws;  taxation  requirements, 
including the imposition or proposed imposition of new or increased taxes or other limitations on the sale 
of our products; competition laws; anti-corruption laws; employment laws; privacy laws; laws regulating 
11

the  price  we  may  charge  for  our  products;  laws  regulating  access  to  and  use  of  water  or  utilities;  and 
environmental laws, including laws relating to the regulation of water rights and treatment and wastewater 
discharge. New laws, regulations or governmental policy and their related interpretations, or changes in any 
of the foregoing, including taxes or other limitations on the sale of our products, ingredients contained in 
our products or commodities used in the production of our products, may alter the environment in which we 
do business and, therefore, may impact our results or increase our costs or liabilities.

Governmental entities or agencies in jurisdictions where our products are made, manufactured or sold may 
also impose new labeling, product or production requirements, or other restrictions. If one jurisdiction imposes 
or proposes to impose new requirements or restrictions, other jurisdictions may follow and the requirements 
or restrictions, or proposed requirements or restrictions, may result in adverse publicity (whether or not valid).  
For  example,  if  the  State  of  California  requires  a  specific  warning  on  any  product  that  contains  certain 
ingredients or substances, other jurisdictions may react and impose restrictions on products containing the 
same ingredients or substances which may result in adverse publicity or increased concerns about the health 
implications of consumption of such products (whether or not valid).  In addition, studies are underway by 
third parties to assess the health implications of consumption of certain ingredients or substances present in 
certain of our products, including 4-MeI, acrylamide and sugar.  If consumer concerns, whether or not valid, 
about the health implications of consumption of ingredients or substances present in certain of our products 
increase  as  a  result  of  these  studies,  other  new  scientific  evidence,  new  labeling,  product  or  production 
requirements or other restrictions, or for any other reason, including adverse publicity as a result of any such 
new requirements, or if we are required to add warning labels to any of our products or place warnings in 
locations where our products are sold, demand for our products could decline, and we could be subject to 
lawsuits or new regulations that could affect sales of our products, any of which could have an adverse effect 
on our business, financial condition or results of operations.  See also “Imposition of new taxes, disagreements 
with tax authorities or additional tax liabilities could adversely affect our financial performance.”, “Our 
financial  performance  could  suffer  if  we  are  unable  to  compete  effectively.”  and  “Any  damage  to  our 
reputation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.”

In many jurisdictions, compliance with competition is of special importance to us due to our competitive 
position in those jurisdictions as is compliance with anti-corruption laws. Regulatory authorities under whose 
laws we operate may also have enforcement powers that can subject us to actions such as product recall, 
seizure  of  products  or  other  sanctions,  which  could  have  an  adverse  effect  on  our  sales  or  damage  our 
reputation. Although  we  have  policies  and  procedures  in  place  that  are  designed  to  promote  legal  and 
regulatory  compliance,  our  employees  or  suppliers  could  take  actions  that  violate  these  policies  and 
procedures or applicable laws or regulations. Violations of these laws or regulations could subject us to 
criminal or civil enforcement actions or financial penalties which could have a material adverse effect on 
our business.

In addition, we and our subsidiaries are party to a variety of legal and environmental remediation obligations 
arising in the normal course of business, as well as environmental remediation, product liability, toxic tort 
and  related  indemnification  proceedings  in  connection  with  certain  historical  activities  and  contractual 
obligations,  including  those  of  businesses  acquired  by  our  subsidiaries.  Due  to  regulatory  complexities, 
uncertainties inherent in litigation and the risk of unidentified contaminants on current and former properties 
of ours and our subsidiaries, the potential exists for remediation, liability and indemnification costs to differ 
materially from the costs we have estimated. We cannot guarantee that our costs in relation to these matters 
will not exceed our established liabilities or otherwise have an adverse effect on our results of operations. 

See also “Item 1. Business - Regulatory Environment and Environmental Compliance.”, “Imposition of new 
taxes, disagreements with tax authorities or additional tax liabilities could adversely affect our financial 
performance.”  and “Our financial performance could be adversely affected if we are unable to grow our 

12

business in emerging and developing markets or as a result of unstable political conditions, civil unrest or 
other developments and risks in the markets where our products are sold.”

Imposition of new taxes, disagreements with tax authorities or additional tax liabilities could adversely 
affect our financial performance.

Our products are sold in more than 200 countries and territories.  As such, we are subject to tax laws and 
regulations of various federal, state and local governments in the United States, as well as to tax laws and 
regulations outside the United States.  The imposition or proposed imposition of new or increased taxes or 
other limitations on the sale of our products, ingredients contained in our products or commodities used in 
the production of our products, could increase the cost of our products, reduce overall consumption of our 
products, lead to negative publicity (whether or not valid) or leave consumers with the perception that our 
products  do  not  meet  their  health  and  wellness  needs,  resulting  in  an  adverse  impact  on  our  financial 
performance.  For example, Mexico recently imposed a tax on sugar-sweetened beverages and a tax on certain 
foods that exceed specified caloric contents, and other jurisdictions have imposed or are considering the 
imposition of taxes and other limitations on the sale of certain of our products. If one jurisdiction imposes 
new or increased taxes, or withdraws tax benefits, other jurisdictions may follow. 

In addition, we are subject to regular reviews, examinations and audits by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) 
and other taxing authorities with respect to income and non-income based taxes both within and outside the 
United States. Economic and political pressures to increase tax revenues in jurisdictions in which we operate 
may make resolving tax disputes more difficult and the final resolution of tax audits and any related litigation 
could  differ  from  our  historical  provisions  and  accruals  resulting  in  an  adverse  impact  on  our  financial 
performance. 

Our operations outside the United States generate a significant portion of our net revenue and repatriation 
of foreign earnings to the United States, or changes in how United States multinational corporations are taxed 
on foreign earnings, could adversely affect our financial performance.  See also “Item 1. Business - Regulatory 
Environment and Environmental Compliance.” and “Demand for our products may be adversely affected by 
changes in consumer preferences or any inability on our part to innovate or market our products effectively.”, 
“Changes in the legal and regulatory environment could limit our business activities, increase our operating 
costs, reduce demand for our products or result in litigation.”, “Our financial performance could be adversely 
affected if we are unable to grow our business in emerging and developing markets or as a result of unstable 
political conditions, civil unrest or other developments and risks in the markets where our products are sold.” 
and “Any damage to our reputation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition 
and results of operations.”

Our financial performance could suffer if we are unable to compete effectively.

The food, snack and beverage industries in which we operate are highly competitive. We compete with major 
international food, snack and beverage companies that, like us, operate in multiple geographic areas, as well 
as regional, local and private label manufacturers and other value competitors. We compete with other large 
companies in each of the food, snack and beverage categories, including The Coca-Cola Company, ConAgra 
International,  Inc.,  Monster 
Foods,  Inc.,  DPSG,  Kellogg  Company,  Kraft  Foods  Group,  Inc., 
Beverage Corporation, Nestlé S.A., Red Bull GmbH and Snyder’s-Lance, Inc. In many countries where we 
do business, including the United States, our primary beverage competitor is The Coca-Cola Company. We 
compete on the basis of brand recognition, taste, price, quality, product variety, distribution, marketing and 
promotional  activity,  packaging,  convenience,  service  and  the  ability  to  identify  and  satisfy  consumer 
preferences. If we are unable to compete effectively, we may be unable to grow or maintain sales or gross 
margins in the global market or in various local markets. This may have a material adverse impact on our 

13

revenues and profit margins. See also “Unfavorable economic conditions may have an adverse impact on 
our business results or financial condition.”

Our financial performance could be adversely affected if we are unable to grow our business in emerging 
and developing markets or as a result of unstable political conditions, civil unrest or other developments 
and risks in the markets where our products are sold.

Our operations outside of the United States, particularly in Russia, Mexico, Canada, the United Kingdom 
and Brazil, contribute significantly to our revenue and profitability, and we believe that these countries and 
emerging and developing markets, particularly China and India, and the Latin America, Africa and Middle 
East regions, present important future growth opportunities for us. However, there can be no assurance that 
our existing products, variants of our existing products or new products that we make, manufacture, market 
or sell will be accepted or successful in any particular emerging or developing market, due to local or global 
competition, product price, cultural differences or otherwise. If we are unable to expand our businesses in 
emerging and developing markets, or achieve the return on capital we expect as a result of our investments 
as a result of economic and political conditions, increased competition, reduced demand for our products, a 
slow down in growth in these markets and the related impact on other countries who export to these markets, 
imposition of new or increased sanctions against, or other regulations restricting contact with, countries in 
these markets, an inability to acquire or form strategic business alliances or to make necessary infrastructure 
investments or for any other reason, our financial performance could be adversely affected. Unstable economic 
or political conditions, civil unrest or other developments and risks in the markets where our products are 
sold, including in Mexico, Venezuela, the Middle East, including Egypt, could also have an adverse impact 
on our business results or financial condition. Factors that could adversely affect our business results in these 
markets include: foreign ownership restrictions; nationalization of our assets; restrictions on the import of 
ingredients used in our products; restrictions on the import or export of our products; regulations on the 
transfer of funds to and from foreign countries, which, from time to time, result in significant cash balances 
in foreign countries such as Venezuela, and on the repatriation of funds currently held in foreign jurisdictions 
to the United States; highly inflationary currency, devaluation or fluctuation, such as the devaluation of the 
Venezuelan bolivar, Argentine peso or Turkish lira; the lack of well-established or reliable legal systems; 
imposition  of  new  or  increased  labeling,  product  or  production  requirements,  or  other  restrictions;  and 
increased costs of business due to compliance with complex foreign and United States laws and regulations 
that apply to our international operations, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act 
and  the  Trade  Sanctions  Reform  and  Export  Enhancement Act,  and  adverse  consequences,  such  as  the 
assessment of fines or penalties, for failing to comply with these laws and regulations. In addition, disruption 
in these markets due to political instability or civil unrest could result in a decline in consumer purchasing 
power, thereby reducing demand for our products. See also “Item 1. Business - Regulatory Environment and 
Environmental Compliance.”, “Demand for our products may be adversely affected by changes in consumer 
preferences or any inability on our part to innovate or market our products effectively.”, “Changes in the 
legal and regulatory environment could limit our business activities, increase our operating costs, reduce 
demand for our products or result in litigation.”, “Our financial performance could suffer if we are unable 
to compete effectively.”, “Disruption of our supply chain could have an adverse impact on our business, 
financial condition and results of operations.” and “Failure to successfully complete or integrate acquisitions 
and joint ventures into our existing operations, or to complete or manage divestitures or refranchisings, could 
have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.”

14

Unfavorable  economic  conditions  may  have  an  adverse  impact  on  our  business  results  or  financial 
condition.

Many of the countries in which we operate, including the United States and several of the members of the 
European  Union,  have  experienced  and  continue  to  experience  unfavorable  economic  conditions.  Our 
business or financial results may be adversely impacted by these unfavorable economic conditions, including: 
adverse changes in interest rates, tax laws or tax rates; volatile commodity markets and inflation; contraction 
in the availability of credit in the marketplace due to legislation or other economic conditions such as the 
European sovereign debt crisis, which may potentially impair our ability to access the capital markets on 
terms commercially acceptable to us or at all; the effects of government initiatives to manage economic 
conditions,  including  changes  to  or  cessation  of  any  such  initiatives;  reduced  demand  for  our  products 
resulting from a slow-down in the general global economy or a shift in consumer preferences for economic 
reasons or otherwise to regional, local or private label products or other economy products, or to less profitable 
channels; impairment of assets; or a decrease in the fair value of pension or post-retirement assets that could 
increase future employee benefit costs and/or funding requirements of our pension or post-retirement plans. 
In  addition,  we  cannot  predict  how  current  or  worsening  economic  conditions  will  affect  our  critical 
customers,  suppliers,  bottlers,  distributors,  joint  venture  partners  or  other  third  parties  and  any  negative 
impact on any of the foregoing may also have an adverse impact on our business results or financial condition. 
In addition, some of the major financial institutions with which we execute transactions, including U.S. and 
non-U.S. commercial banks, insurance companies, investment banks and other financial institutions, may 
be exposed to a ratings downgrade, bankruptcy, liquidity, default or similar risks as a result of unfavorable 
economic conditions. A ratings downgrade, bankruptcy, receivership, default or similar event involving a 
major financial institution may limit the availability of credit or willingness of financial institutions to extend 
credit on terms commercially acceptable to us or at all or, with respect to financial institutions who are parties 
to  our  financing  arrangements,  leave  us  with  reduced  borrowing  capacity  or  unhedged  against  certain 
currencies or price risk associated with forecasted purchases of raw materials which could have an adverse 
impact on our business results or financial condition.  See also “Imposition of new taxes, disagreements with 
tax authorities or additional tax liabilities could adversely affect our financial performance.”

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. The principal 
ingredients we use include apple, orange and pineapple juice and other juice concentrates, aspartame, corn, 
corn  sweeteners,  flavorings,  flour,  grapefruit  and  other  fruits,  oats,  oranges,  potatoes,  raw  milk,  rice, 
seasonings, sucralose, sugar, vegetable and essential oils, and wheat. Our key packaging materials include 
plastic resins, including PET and polypropylene resin used for plastic beverage bottles and film packaging 
used for snack foods, aluminum used for cans, glass bottles, closures, cardboard and paperboard cartons. 
Fuel and natural gas are also important commodities for us due to their use in our facilities and in the trucks 
delivering our products. Some of these raw materials and supplies are sourced internationally and some are 
available from a limited number of suppliers or are in short supply when seasonal demand is at its peak. We 
are exposed to the market risks arising from adverse changes in commodity prices, affecting the cost of our 
raw materials and energy, including fuel. The raw materials and energy which we use for the production of 
our products are largely commodities that are subject to price volatility and fluctuations in availability caused 
by  changes  in  global  supply  and  demand,  weather  conditions,  agricultural  uncertainty  or  governmental 
incentives and controls. We purchase these materials and energy mainly in the open market. If commodity 
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 without suffering reduced volume, revenue and operating results. 
In addition, we use derivatives to hedge price risk associated with forecasted purchases of certain raw materials 
and energy, including fuel. Certain of these derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment 

15

can result in increased volatility in our net earnings in any given period due to changes in the spot prices of 
the underlying commodities. See also “Changes in the legal and regulatory environment could limit our 
business activities, increase our operating costs, reduce demand for our products or result in litigation.”, 
“Unfavorable  economic  conditions  may  have  an  adverse  impact  on  our  business  results  or  financial 
condition.”,  “Climate  change,  or  legal,  regulatory  or  market  measures  to  address  climate  change,  may 
negatively affect our business and operations.” and “Market Risks” contained in “Item 7.  Management’s 
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note 10 to our consolidated 
financial statements.

Failure to realize anticipated benefits from our productivity initiatives or global operating model could 
have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our productivity initiatives help fund our growth initiatives and contribute to our results of operations. We 
are implementing strategic plans that we believe will position our business for future success and growth by 
allowing us to achieve a lower cost structure and operate more efficiently in the highly competitive food, 
snack and beverage industries. In order to capitalize on our cost reduction efforts, it will be necessary to 
make certain investments in our business, which may be limited due to capital constraints. In addition, it is 
critical that we have the appropriate personnel in place to continue to lead and execute our plans. Our future 
success and earnings growth depends in part on our ability to reduce costs and improve efficiencies. If we 
are unable to successfully implement our productivity initiatives, fail to implement these initiatives as timely 
as we anticipate or fail to identify and implement additional productivity opportunities in the future, our 
business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely impacted. In addition, we continue 
to  implement  our  global  operating  model  to  improve  efficiency,  decision  making,  innovation  and  brand 
management across the global PepsiCo organization. If we are unable to implement this model effectively, 
it may have a negative impact on our ability to deliver sustained or breakthrough innovation or to otherwise 
compete effectively. 

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

Our ability, and that of our suppliers, third parties, including our independent bottlers, contract manufacturers, 
joint  venture  partners,  independent  distributors  and  retailers,  to  make,  manufacture,  distribute  and  sell 
products is critical to our success. Damage or disruption to our or their manufacturing or transportation and 
distribution capabilities due to any of the following could impair the ability to make, manufacture, transport, 
distribute or sell our products: adverse weather conditions or natural disaster, such as a hurricane, earthquake 
or  flooding;  government  action;  fire;  terrorism;  outbreak  or  escalation  of  armed  hostilities;  pandemic; 
industrial accidents or other occupational health and safety issues; strikes and other labor disputes; or other 
reasons beyond our control or the control of our suppliers and business partners. Failure to take adequate 
steps to mitigate the likelihood or potential impact of such events, or to effectively manage such events if 
they occur, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as require 
additional resources to restore our supply chain.

Any damage to our reputation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition 
and results of operations.

Maintaining a good reputation globally is critical to selling our branded products. Product contamination or 
tampering, the failure to maintain high standards for product quality, safety and integrity, including with 
respect to raw materials and ingredients obtained from suppliers, or allegations of product quality issues, 
mislabeling, misbranding, spoilage, allergens or contamination, even if untrue, may reduce demand for our 
products or cause production and delivery disruptions. If any of our products are mislabeled or become unfit 
for consumption, causes injury, illness or death, we may have to engage in a product recall and/or be subject 

16

to liability or government action, which could result in payment of damages or fines. A product recall or a 
product liability issue could cause certain of our products to be unavailable for a period of time, which could 
reduce consumer demand and brand equity. We could also be adversely affected if consumers lose confidence 
in product quality, safety and integrity generally.  In addition, we operate globally, which requires us to 
comply with numerous local regulations, including, without limitation, anti-corruption laws, competition 
laws and the tax laws and regulations of the jurisdictions in which our products are sold. In the event that 
our employees engage in improper activities abroad, we may be subject to enforcement actions, litigation, 
loss of sales or other consequences which may cause us to suffer damage to our reputation in the United 
States and abroad. Our reputation could also be adversely impacted by any of the following, or by adverse 
publicity (whether or not valid) relating thereto: the failure to maintain high ethical, social and environmental 
practices for all of our operations and activities; the failure to achieve our goal of continuing to refine our 
food and beverage choices to meet changing consumer demands by reducing sodium, added sugars and 
saturated fat and developing a broader portfolio of product choices; health concerns (whether or not valid) 
about  our  products  or  particular  ingredients  in  our  products,  including  whether  certain  of  our  products 
contribute to obesity; the imposition or proposed imposition of new or increased taxes or other limitations 
on the sale or advertising of our products; our research and development efforts; our environmental impact, 
including use of agricultural materials, packaging, water, energy use and waste management; the practices 
of our employees, agents, customers, distributors, suppliers, bottlers, joint venture partners or other third 
parties with respect to any of the foregoing; any failure to comply, or perception of a failure to comply, with 
our policies and statements, including those regarding advertising to children;  consumer perception of our 
advertising  campaigns  or  marketing  programs;  consumer  perception  of  our  use  of  social  media;  or  our 
responses to any of the foregoing or negative publicity as a result of any of the foregoing. The rising popularity 
of  social  media  and  other  consumer-oriented  technologies  has  increased  the  speed  and  accessibility  of 
information dissemination, and, as a result, negative or inaccurate posts or comments about us, our products 
or advertising campaigns and marketing programs, and consumer perception of posts or other information 
disseminated by us or our employees, agents, customers, suppliers, bottlers, distributors, joint venture partners 
or other third parties, may also generate adverse publicity that could damage our reputation. In addition, 
water is a limited resource in many parts of the world and demand for water continues to increase. Our 
reputation could be damaged if we or others in our industry do not act, or are perceived not to act, responsibly 
with respect to water use. Failure to comply with local laws and regulations, to maintain an effective system 
of internal controls or to provide accurate and timely financial information could also hurt our reputation.  
Damage to our reputation or loss of consumer confidence in our products for any of these or other reasons 
could result in decreased demand for our products and could have a material adverse effect on our business, 
financial condition and results of operations, as well as require additional resources to rebuild our reputation. 
See also “Demand for our products may be adversely affected by changes in consumer preferences or any 
inability on our part to innovate or market our products effectively.”, “Changes in the legal and regulatory 
environment could limit our business activities, increase our operating costs, reduce demand for our products 
or result in litigation.” and “Imposition of new taxes, disagreements with tax authorities or additional tax 
liabilities could adversely affect our financial performance.”

Failure to successfully complete or integrate acquisitions and joint ventures into our existing operations, 
or to complete or manage divestitures or refranchisings, could have an adverse impact on our business, 
financial condition and results of operations. 

We regularly evaluate potential acquisitions, joint ventures, divestitures and refranchisings. Potential issues 
associated with these activities could include, among other things: our ability to realize the full extent of the 
benefits or cost savings that we expect to realize as a result of the completion of an acquisition, divestiture 
or refranchising, or the formation of a joint venture, within the anticipated time frame, or at all; receipt of 
necessary consents, clearances and approvals in connection with an acquisition, joint venture, divestiture or 
refranchising;  and  diversion  of  management’s  attention  from  day-to-day  operations.  With  respect  to 
17

acquisitions, the following also pose potential risks: our ability to successfully combine our businesses with 
the  business  of  the  acquired  company,  including  integrating  the  manufacturing,  distribution,  sales  and 
administrative support activities and information technology systems between us and the acquired company 
and our ability to successfully operate in new categories or territories; motivating, recruiting and retaining 
executives and key employees; conforming standards, controls (including internal control over financial 
reporting, environmental compliance and health and safety compliance), procedures and policies, business 
cultures and compensation structures between us and the acquired company; consolidating and streamlining 
corporate and administrative infrastructures; consolidating sales and marketing operations; retaining existing 
customers  and  attracting  new  customers;  identifying  and  eliminating  redundant  and  underperforming 
operations  and  assets;  coordinating  geographically  dispersed  organizations;  and  managing  tax  costs  or 
inefficiencies  associated  with  integrating  our  operations  following  completion  of  the  acquisitions.  With 
respect to joint ventures, we share ownership and management responsibility with one or more parties who 
may or may not have the same goals, strategies, priorities or resources as we do and joint ventures are intended 
to be operated for the benefit of all co-owners, rather than for our exclusive benefit. In addition, acquisitions 
and joint ventures outside of the United States increase our exposure to risks associated with operations 
outside of the United States, including fluctuations in exchange rates and compliance with the Foreign Corrupt 
Practices Act and other anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws, and laws and regulations outside the United 
States. With respect to divestitures and refranchisings, we may not be able to complete such transactions on 
terms commercially favorable to us or at all. Further, as divestitures and refranchisings may reduce our direct 
control  over  certain  aspects  of  our  business,  any  failure  to  maintain  good  relations  with  divested  or 
refranchised businesses in our supply or sales chain may adversely impact sales or business performance. If 
an acquisition or joint venture is not successfully completed or integrated into our existing operations, or if 
a divestiture or refranchising is not successfully completed or managed or does not result in the benefits we 
expect, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely impacted. 

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

Our continued growth requires us to hire, retain and develop our leadership bench and a highly skilled and 
diverse workforce. We compete to hire new employees and then must train them and develop their skills and 
competencies. Any unplanned turnover or our failure to develop an adequate succession plan to backfill 
current leadership positions, including our Chief Executive Officer, or to hire and retain a diverse workforce 
could deplete our institutional knowledge base and erode our competitive advantage. In addition, our operating 
results could be adversely affected by increased costs due to increased competition for employees, higher 
employee turnover or increased employee benefit costs.

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

We must maintain mutually beneficial relationships with our key customers, including Wal-Mart, as well as 
other retailers, to effectively compete. The loss of any of our key customers, including Wal-Mart, could have 
an adverse effect on our financial performance. In addition, our industry has been affected by increasing 
concentration of retail ownership, particularly in North America and Europe, which may impact our ability 
to compete as such retailers may demand lower pricing and increased promotional programs. Further, should 
larger retailers increase utilization 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 any such actions or to offer effective sales incentives and marketing programs to our customers 
could reduce our ability to secure adequate shelf space at our retailers and adversely affect our financial 
performance.  

18

Our borrowing costs and access to capital and credit markets may be adversely affected by a downgrade 
or potential downgrade of our credit ratings.

We expect to maintain Tier 1 commercial paper access which we believe will ensure appropriate financial 
flexibility and ready access to global credit markets at favorable interest rates.  Any downgrade of our credit 
ratings by a credit rating agency, especially any downgrade to below investment grade, whether as a result 
of our actions or factors which are beyond our control, could increase our future borrowing costs and impair 
our ability to access capital and credit markets on terms commercially acceptable to us, or at all. In addition, 
any downgrade of our current short-term credit ratings could impair our ability to access the commercial 
paper market with the same flexibility that we have experienced historically, and therefore require us to rely 
more heavily on more expensive types of debt financing. Our borrowing costs and access to the commercial 
paper market could also be adversely affected if a credit rating agency announces that our ratings are under 
review for a potential downgrade. See also “Our Liquidity and Capital Resources” contained in “Item 7. 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” 

Our business could suffer if we are unable to protect our information systems against a cybersecurity 
incident.

Our information systems could be compromised by unauthorized outside parties intent on extracting sensitive 
data or confidential information, corrupting information or disrupting business processes or by inadvertent 
or intentional actions by our employees or vendors. A cybersecurity incident resulting in a security breach, 
or failure to identify a cybersecurity threat, could disrupt our business and could result in the loss of sensitive 
data, confidential information or other assets as well as litigation, regulatory enforcement, violation of data 
privacy and security laws and regulations, remediation costs, damage to our reputation and loss of revenue 
resulting  from  unauthorized  use  of  confidential  information  or  failure  to  retain  or  attract  customers  and 
consumers following such an incident. See also “Any damage to our reputation could have a material adverse 
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.” and “If we are not able to build and 
sustain  proper  information  technology  infrastructure,  successfully  implement  our  ongoing  business 
transformation initiative or share services for certain functions effectively, our business could suffer.”  

If  we  are  not  able  to  build  and  sustain  proper  information  technology  infrastructure,  successfully 
implement  our  ongoing  business  transformation  initiative  or  share  services  for  certain  functions 
effectively, our business could suffer.

We  depend  on  information  technology,  including  cloud-based  services,  to  enable  and  improve  the 
effectiveness of our operations, to interface with our customers and consumers, to order and manage materials 
from suppliers, to maintain financial accuracy and efficiency, to comply with regulatory, financial reporting, 
legal and tax requirements, to collect and store sensitive data or confidential information and for digital 
marketing activities and electronic communication among our global operations and between our employees 
and the employees of our independent bottlers, contract manufacturers, joint ventures, suppliers and other 
third parties. If we do not allocate and effectively manage the resources necessary to build and sustain the 
proper information technology infrastructure, or if our systems are damaged, destroyed or shut down as a 
result  of  natural  disasters,  software,  equipment  or  telecommunications  failures,  malicious  or  disruptive 
software, hackers or otherwise, we could be subject to transaction errors, processing inefficiencies, the loss 
of customers, business disruptions, the loss of or damage to intellectual property, damage to our reputation, 
or the loss of sensitive or confidential data through security breach or otherwise.

We have embarked on a multi-year business transformation initiative to migrate certain of our financial 
processing systems to enterprise-wide systems solutions. There can be no certainty that this initiative will 
deliver the expected benefits. The failure to deliver the expected benefits may impact our ability to process 
transactions accurately and efficiently and remain in step with the changing needs of the trade, which could 

19

result in the loss of customers. In addition, the failure to either deliver the applications on time, or anticipate 
the  necessary  readiness  and  training  needs,  could  lead  to  business  disruption  and  loss  of  customers  and 
revenue.

We have entered into agreements to share certain information technology support services and administrative 
functions,  such  as  payroll  processing,  benefit  plan  administration  and  certain  finance  and  accounting 
functions, to third-party service providers and may enter into agreements to share services for other functions 
in the future to achieve cost savings and efficiencies. If these service providers do not perform, or do not 
perform effectively, we may not be able to achieve the expected cost savings and may have to incur additional 
costs to correct errors made by such service providers and our reputation could be harmed. Depending on 
the function involved, such errors may also lead to business disruption, processing inefficiencies, the loss of 
or  damage  to  intellectual  property  or  sensitive  data  through  security  breach  or  otherwise,  litigation  or 
remediation costs, or damage to our reputation and could have a negative impact on employee morale.  See 
also “Any damage to our reputation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition 
and results of operations.” and “Our business could suffer if we are unable to protect our information systems 
against a cybersecurity incident.”

Fluctuations in exchange rates may have an adverse impact on our business results or financial condition.

We hold assets and incur liabilities, earn revenues and pay expenses in a variety of currencies other than the 
U.S.  dollar.  Because  our  consolidated  financial  statements  are  presented  in  U.S.  dollars,  the  financial 
statements of our subsidiaries outside the United States are translated into U.S. dollars. Our operations outside 
of the U.S. generate a significant portion of our net revenue. Fluctuations in exchange rates may therefore 
adversely impact our business results or financial condition. See also “Market Risks” contained in “Item 7. 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Notes 1 and 
10 to our consolidated financial statements.

Climate change, or legal, regulatory or market measures to address climate change, may negatively affect 
our business and operations.

There is concern that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere may have an adverse 
impact on global temperatures, weather patterns and the frequency and severity of extreme weather and 
natural disasters. In the event that such climate change has a negative effect on agricultural productivity, we 
may be subject to decreased availability or less favorable pricing for certain commodities that are necessary 
for our products, such as sugar cane, corn, wheat, rice, oats, potatoes and various fruits. We may also be 
subjected to decreased availability or less favorable pricing for water as a result of such change, which could 
impact our manufacturing and distribution operations. In addition, natural disasters and extreme weather 
conditions may disrupt the productivity of our facilities or the operation of our supply chain. The increasing 
concern over climate change also may result in new or increased regional, federal and/or global legal and 
regulatory requirements to reduce or mitigate the effects of greenhouse gases. In the event that such regulation 
is more aggressive than the measures that we are currently undertaking to monitor our emissions and improve 
our energy efficiency, we may experience significant increases in our costs of operation and delivery. In 
particular, increasing regulation of fuel emissions could substantially increase the cost of energy, including 
fuel, required to operate our facilities or transport and distribute our products, thereby substantially increasing 
the  distribution  and  supply  chain  costs  associated  with  our  products. As  a  result,  climate  change  could 
negatively affect our business and operations. See also “Demand for our products may be adversely affected 
by  changes  in  consumer  preferences  or  any  inability  on  our  part  to  innovate  or  market  our  products 
effectively.”, “Changes in the legal and regulatory environment could limit our business activities, increase 
our operating costs, reduce demand for our products or result in litigation.”, “Our operating results may be 
adversely affected by increased costs, disruption of supply or shortages of raw materials and other supplies.” 

20

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

A  portion  of  our  workforce  belongs  to  unions.  Failure  to  successfully  negotiate  collective  bargaining 
agreements, or strikes or work stoppages could cause our business to suffer.

Many of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements and other employees may seek to 
be covered by collective bargaining agreements. Strikes or work stoppages and interruptions could occur if 
we are unable to renew these agreements on satisfactory terms or enter into new agreements on satisfactory 
terms, which could adversely impact our operating results. The terms and conditions of existing, renegotiated 
or new agreements could also increase our costs or otherwise affect our ability to fully implement future 
operational changes to enhance our efficiency. 

Our intellectual property rights could be infringed or challenged and reduce the value of our products 
and brands and have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We possess intellectual property rights that are important to our business. These intellectual property rights 
include ingredient formulas, trademarks, copyrights, patents, business processes and other trade secrets that 
are important to our business and relate to a variety of our products, their packaging, the processes for their 
production  and  the  design  and  operation  of  various  equipment  used  in  our  businesses.  We  protect  our 
intellectual property rights globally through a combination of trademark, copyright, patent and trade secret 
laws, third-party assignment and nondisclosure agreements and monitoring of third-party misuses of our 
intellectual property. If we fail to obtain or adequately protect our ingredient formulas, trademarks, copyrights, 
patents, business processes and other trade secrets, or if there is a change in law that limits or removes the 
current legal protections of our intellectual property, the value of our products and brands could be reduced 
and there could be an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. See also 
“Changes in the legal and regulatory environment could limit our business activities, increase our operating 
costs, reduce demand for our products or result in litigation.”

Potential liabilities and costs from litigation or legal proceedings could have an adverse impact on our 
business, financial condition and results of operations.

We and our subsidiaries are party to a variety of legal claims and proceedings in the ordinary course of 
business, including but not limited to litigation related to our advertising, marketing or commercial practices, 
product labels, claims and ingredients and environmental and insurance matters. Since litigation is inherently 
uncertain, there is no guarantee that we will be successful in defending ourselves against such claims or 
proceedings, or that management’s assessment of the materiality of these matters, including the reserves 
taken in connection therewith, will be consistent with the ultimate outcome of such claims or proceedings. 
In the event that management’s assessment of materiality of current claims and proceedings proves inaccurate 
or litigation that is material arises in the future, there may be a material adverse effect on our consolidated 
financial statements, results of operations or cash flows. See also “Any damage to our reputation could have 
a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.”

Many factors may adversely affect the price of our common stock and our financial performance.

Many factors may adversely affect the price of our common stock and our financial performance. Such 
factors, some of which are beyond our control, may include, but are not limited to: unfavorable economic 
conditions;  changes  in  financial  or  tax  reporting  and  changes  in  accounting  principles  or  practices  that 
materially affect our reported financial condition and results and investor perceptions of our performance; 
actions by shareholders or others seeking to influence our business strategies; and the impact of our share 
repurchase program. In addition, corporate actions, such as those we may or may not take from time to time 
as part of our continuous review of our corporate structure, including as a result of business, legal and tax 

21

considerations, may not have the impact we intend and may adversely affect the price of our common stock 
and our financial performance. The above factors, as well as other risks included in this Item 1A. Risk Factors, 
could adversely affect the price of our common stock and our financial performance.

Item 1B.  Unresolved Staff Comments.
We have received no written comments regarding our periodic or current reports from the staff of the SEC 
that were issued 180 days or more preceding the end of our 2013 fiscal year and that remain unresolved.

Item 2.  Properties.
Our most significant corporate properties include our corporate headquarters building in Purchase, New York 
and our data center in Plano, Texas, both of which are owned.  Our corporate headquarters are undergoing 
renovations to improve technology and energy efficiency, and to make necessary infrastructure repairs and 
improvements, are ongoing.  Leases of plants in North America generally are on a long-term basis, expiring 
at various times, with options to renew for additional periods. Most international plants are owned or leased 
on a long-term basis. Furthermore, except as disclosed above, we believe that our properties generally are 
in good operating condition and are suitable for the purposes for which they are being used.

Frito-Lay North America 

FLNA’s most significant properties include its headquarters building and a research facility in Plano, Texas, 
both of which are owned. FLNA also owns or leases approximately 40 food manufacturing and processing 
plants  and  approximately  1,710  warehouses,  distribution  centers  and  offices.  FLNA’s  joint  venture  with 
Strauss Group also utilizes three plant facilities and one office, all of which are owned or leased by the joint 
venture.

Quaker Foods North America 

QFNA owns a plant in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, which is its most significant property, as well as an office building 
it shares with PAB in downtown Chicago, Illinois. QFNA also owns four plants and production processing 
facilities and leases one office and one distribution center in North America. 

Latin America Foods 

LAF’s most significant properties include four snack manufacturing plants in Brazil (Guarulhos) and the 
Mexican cities of Celaya, Monterrey and Mexico City (Vallejo), all of which are owned.  LAF also owns or 
leases  approximately  50  food  manufacturing  and  processing  plants  and  approximately  640  warehouses, 
distribution centers and offices.

PepsiCo Americas Beverages 

PAB’s most significant properties include its headquarters building in Somers, New York, an office building 
it shares with QFNA in downtown Chicago, Illinois and a shared service center it shares with certain other 
divisions in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, all of which are leased, and its Tropicana facility in Bradenton, 
Florida, its concentrate plants in Cork, Ireland and its research and development facility in Valhalla, New 
York, all of which are owned. PAB also owns or leases approximately 80 bottling and production plants and 
production processing facilities and approximately 470 warehouses, distribution centers and offices. 

Europe

Europe’s most significant properties are its snack manufacturing and processing plant located in Leicester, 
United  Kingdom,  which  is  leased,  and  its  snack  research  and  development  facility  in  Leicester,  United 
Kingdom, its beverage plant in Lebedyan, Russia and its dairy plant in Moscow, Russia, all of which are 

22

owned. Europe also owns or leases approximately 125 plants and approximately 525 warehouses, distribution 
centers and offices.

Asia, Middle East and Africa 

AMEA’s most significant properties are its beverage plants located in Sixth of October City, Egypt, Rayong, 
Thailand and Amman, Jordan, and its snack manufacturing and processing plants located in Sixth of October 
City,  Egypt,  which  are  owned,  and  Riyadh,  Saudi Arabia,  which  is  leased. AMEA  also  owns  or  leases 
approximately 45 plants and approximately 490 distribution centers, warehouses and offices. In 2012, we 
contributed our company-owned and joint venture bottling operations in China to Tingyi. AMEA continues 
to utilize properties owned or leased by Tingyi.

Shared Properties

QFNA shares 12 warehouse and distribution centers and eight offices jointly with PAB and FLNA and shares 
two additional offices with FLNA. QFNA also shares 25 warehouses and distribution centers, one production 
facility and two offices with PAB, as well as one research and development laboratory. FLNA shares one 
production facility with LAF. PAB, Europe and AMEA share two production facilities and a service center. 
Europe and AMEA share a research and development facility. PAB and LAF share four offices. PAB and 
AMEA share two concentrate plants.

In addition to the company-owned or leased properties described above, we also utilize a highly distributed 
network of plants, warehouses and distribution centers that are owned or leased by our contract manufacturers, 
co-packers, strategic alliances or joint ventures in which we have an equity interest.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings.

As  previously  disclosed,  on  January 6,  2011,  Wojewodzka  Inspekcja  Ochrony  Srodowiska,  the  Polish 
environmental control authority (the Polish Authority), began an audit of a bottling plant of our subsidiary, 
Pepsi-Cola General Bottlers Poland SP, z.o.o. (PCGB), in Michrow, Poland. On February 18, 2011, the Polish 
Authority alleged that in 2009 the plant was not in compliance with applicable regulations requiring the use 
of approved laboratories for the analysis of the plant’s waste and sought monetary sanctions of $700,000. 
As previously disclosed, PCGB appealed this decision and, on January 15, 2013, the Supreme Administrative 
Court  issued  a  final,  non-appealable  decision  finding  that  the  sanctions  against  PCGB  were  imposed  in 
violation of applicable environmental law and released PCGB from all liability with respect to such sanctions. 
On July 30, 2013, the Polish Authority alleged that the plant was not in compliance in 2009 with applicable 
regulations governing the taking of water samples for analysis of the plant’s waste and sought monetary 
sanctions of $650,000. PCGB has appealed this decision and the appeal is pending.

Also as previously disclosed, on May 8, 2011, Kozep-Duna-Volgyi Kornyezetvedelmi, Termeszetvedelmi 
es  Vizugyi  Felugyeloseg  (Budapest),  the  regional  Hungarian  governmental  authority  (the  Hungarian 
Authority), notified our subsidiary, Fovarosi Asvanyviz-es Uditoipari Zrt. (FAU), that it assessed monetary 
sanctions of approximately $220,000 for alleged violation of applicable wastewater discharge standards in 
2010. Also as previously disclosed, on August 9, 2012, the Hungarian Authority notified FAU that it assessed 
monetary  sanctions  of  approximately  $153,000  for  alleged  violation  of  applicable  wastewater  discharge 
standards  in  2011.  Following  an  appeal  of  this  decision  by  FAU,  the  Orszagos  Kornyezetvedelmi, 
Termeszetvedelmi es Vizugyi Felugyeloseg (Budapest) increased the 2011 sanctions to $320,000 and the 
2012 sanctions to $170,000, on July 22, 2013 and August 12, 2013, respectively, on the grounds that certain 
pollutant  factors  had  not  been  taken  into  account  by  the  Hungarian Authority.  FAU  has  appealed  these 
decisions and the appeals are pending at the Fovarosi Kozigazgatasi es Munkaugyi Birosag (Budapest).

23

In addition, we and our subsidiaries are party to a variety of legal, administrative, regulatory and government 
proceedings,  claims  and  inquiries  arising  in  the  normal  course  of  business.  While  the  results  of  these 
proceedings, claims and inquiries cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final 
outcome of the foregoing will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements, 
results of operations or cash flows. See also “Item 1. Business - Regulatory Environment and Environmental 
Compliance.” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors – Changes in the legal and regulatory environment could limit our 
business activities, increase our operating costs, reduce demand for our products or result in litigation.”

Item 4.  Mine Safety Disclosures.

Not applicable.

OUR BUSINESS

Executive Overview

We  are  a  leading  global  food  and  beverage  company  with  brands  that  are  respected  household  names 
throughout the world. Through our operations, authorized bottlers, contract manufacturers and other third 
parties, we make, market, sell and distribute a wide variety of convenient and enjoyable foods and beverages, 
serving customers and consumers in more than 200 countries and territories.

Our management monitors a variety of key indicators to evaluate our business results and financial condition.  
These indicators include growth in volume, revenue and organic revenue, growth in operating profit and EPS 
(as reported and excluding certain items and the impact of foreign exchange translation), market share, safety, 
product and service quality, organizational health, brand equity, employee diversity, net commodity inflation, 
productivity savings, net capital spending, free cash flow and free cash flow excluding certain items, cash 
returned to shareholders in the forms of share repurchases and dividends, advertising and marketing expenses, 
ROIC, and gross and operating margin change. 

During 2013, we continued to reinforce the initiatives we undertook in 2012 that we believe will position us 
for future success. These initiatives included increasing our investments in our largest global brands; stepping 
up  our  innovation  program,  including  the  successful  launch  of  Mountain  Dew  Kickstart;  increasing  our 
spending on research and development, including opening a new state-of-the-art food and beverage innovation 
center in Shanghai, China; and continuing our multi-year productivity program that resulted in over $900 
million in savings in 2013. We successfully continued these initiatives during 2013 while returning $6.4 
billion to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.

As we look to 2014 and beyond, we remain focused on positioning our Company for long-term success while 
continuing to deliver strong, consistent financial results. Our business strategies are designed to address key 
challenges facing our Company, including: continuing to strengthen our presence in high growth developing 
and emerging markets and providing products in these markets that will be accepted and successful; continued 
consumer focus on nutritious products; geopolitical and social instability and commodity cost volatility. We 
believe that many of these challenges create new growth opportunities for our Company. For example, we 
believe that a favorable outlook for growth in developing and emerging markets creates opportunities for 
further growth of our products in those markets.  We also believe that continued consumer focus on more 
nutritious products creates an opportunity for us to expand our offerings in this arena.  In order to address 
these challenges and capitalize on these opportunities, we plan to do the following:

Continue to invest in developing and emerging markets.

We expect that developing and emerging markets will continue to represent an attractive high growth space 
for our Company, but will require us to make significant investments to develop the skills, tools and people 
necessary to continue to compete effectively in these markets.  PepsiCo already has a strong presence in 
developing and emerging markets and we believe it will be important for us to continue to invest in these 
markets to continue to grow our business.    

32

Continue  to  broaden  the  range  of  our  product  portfolio,  including  expanding  our  offerings  of  more 
nutritious products.  

We anticipate that the consumer shift to convenient, functional nutrition, local and natural ingredients, and 
better-for-you snacking options will continue to accelerate.  To address this shift, we plan to continue to grow 
our portfolio of more nutritious products by reducing added sugar, sodium and saturated fat in certain key 
brands.

Further enhance our digital tools and data protection capabilities. 

The  importance  of  digital  technology  continues  to  grow  from  both  a  consumer  and  business  capability 
standpoint.  We plan to invest in digital tools and technologies that will allow us to reach our consumers 
differently, continue to adapt our advertising and marketing model to harness the power of social media and 
enhance the efficiency of our sales force.  We also expect that these investments will improve our analytical 
capabilities and enhance food safety and quality.   In addition, cybersecurity requires focused investment 
and constant diligence against threats and we will continue to work to strengthen our information systems 
and improve our digital capabilities. 

Protect our supply chain and our people. 

Our ability to make, manufacture, distribute and sell products is critical to our success. Geopolitical and 
social tensions and conflict are expected to continue to pose risks to doing business in many countries around 
the world.  We will continue to make investments to keep our people safe and protect our supply chain against 
potential threats. 

Develop new ways to manage volatility in commodities. 

Extreme weather patterns are expected to persist and intensify as a result of climate change, which may result 
in decreased availability or less-favorable pricing for certain commodities that are necessary for our products.  
In addition to managing this volatility through the use of fixed-price contracts and purchase orders, pricing 
agreements  and  derivatives,  we  plan  to  leverage  our  research  and  development  teams  to  work  to  create 
multiple  formulations  while  delivering  on  taste  and  quality  to  cope  with  fluctuations  in  raw  material 
availability and price. 

Deliver on the promise of Performance with Purpose.

Performance with Purpose is our goal to deliver sustained value by providing a wide range of foods and 
beverages, from treats to healthy eats; finding innovative ways to minimize our impact on the environment 
and lower our costs through energy and water conservation as well as reduce use of packaging material; 
providing a safe and inclusive workplace for our employees globally; and respecting, supporting and investing 
in the local communities in which we operate.  PepsiCo was again recognized for its leadership in this area 
in 2013 by earning a place on the prestigious Dow Jones Sustainability World Index for the seventh consecutive 
year and on the North America Index for the eighth consecutive year.

Our Operations
We are organized into four business units, as follows:

1)  PepsiCo Americas Foods, which includes Frito-Lay North America (FLNA), Quaker Foods North 

America (QFNA) and all of our Latin American food and snack businesses (LAF); 

2)  PepsiCo Americas Beverages (PAB), which includes all of our North American and Latin American 

beverage businesses;

3)  PepsiCo Europe (Europe), which includes all beverage, food and snack businesses in Europe and 

South Africa; and

4)  PepsiCo Asia,  Middle  East  and Africa  (AMEA),  which  includes  all  beverage,  food  and  snack 

businesses in AMEA, excluding South Africa.

Our four business units are comprised of six reportable segments (also referred to as divisions), as follows:

•  FLNA,
•  QFNA,
•  LAF,
•  PAB,
•  Europe, and
•  AMEA.

See  Note  1  to  our  consolidated  financial  statements  for  financial  information  about  our  divisions  and 
geographic areas.  

Frito-Lay North America

Either independently or in conjunction with third parties, FLNA makes, markets, sells and distributes branded 
snack foods. These foods include Lay’s potato chips, Doritos tortilla chips, Cheetos cheese flavored snacks, 
Tostitos tortilla chips, branded dips, Ruffles potato chips, Fritos corn chips and Santitas tortilla chips.  FLNA’s 
branded products are sold to independent distributors and retailers. In addition, FLNA’s joint venture with 
Strauss Group makes, markets, sells and distributes Sabra refrigerated dips and spreads.

Quaker Foods North America

Either independently or in conjunction with third parties, QFNA makes, markets, sells and distributes cereals, 
rice, pasta, dairy and other branded products. QFNA’s products include Quaker oatmeal, Aunt Jemima mixes 
and syrups, Quaker Chewy granola bars, Cap’n Crunch cereal, Quaker grits, Life cereal, Rice-A-Roni side 
dishes, Quaker rice cakes, Quaker Oat Squares and Quaker Natural Granola. These branded products are 
sold to independent distributors and retailers.

Latin America Foods

Either independently or in conjunction with third parties, LAF makes, markets, sells and distributes a number 
of snack food brands including Doritos, Marias Gamesa, Cheetos, Ruffles, Emperador, Saladitas, Sabritas, 
Elma Chips, Tostitos and Rosquinhas Mabel, as well as many Quaker-branded cereals and snacks. These 
branded products are sold to independent distributors and retailers.

34

PepsiCo Americas Beverages

Either independently or in conjunction with third parties, PAB makes, markets, sells and distributes beverage 
concentrates, fountain syrups and finished goods under various beverage brands including Pepsi, Gatorade, 
Mountain Dew, Diet Pepsi, Aquafina, 7UP (outside the U.S.), Diet Mountain Dew, Tropicana Pure Premium, 
Sierra Mist and Mirinda. PAB also, either independently or in conjunction with third parties, makes, markets 
and sells ready-to-drink tea and coffee products through joint ventures with Unilever (under the Lipton brand 
name)  and  Starbucks.  Further,  PAB  manufactures  and  distributes  certain  brands  licensed  from  DPSG, 
including Dr Pepper, Crush and Schweppes, and certain juice brands licensed from Dole and Ocean Spray. 
PAB operates its own bottling plants and distribution facilities and sells branded finished goods directly to 
independent  distributors  and  retailers.  PAB  also  sells  concentrate  and  finished  goods  for  our  brands  to 
authorized  and  independent  bottlers,  who  in  turn  also  sell  our  brands  as  finished  goods  to  independent 
distributors and retailers in certain markets.

PAB’s volume reflects sales to its independent distributors and retailers, as well as the sales of beverages 
bearing  our  trademarks  that  have  been  sold  through  our  authorized  independent  bottlers  that  have  been 
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 entirely based 
on BCS volume, as there are independent bottlers in the supply chain, we believe that BCS is a valuable 
measure as it quantifies the sell-through of our products at the consumer level.

Europe

Either independently or in conjunction with third parties, Europe makes, markets, sells and distributes a 
number of leading snack food brands including Lay’s, Walkers, Doritos, Cheetos and Ruffles, as well as 
many Quaker-branded cereals and snacks, through consolidated businesses as well as through noncontrolled 
affiliates. Europe also, either independently or in conjunction with third parties, makes, markets, sells and 
distributes  beverage  concentrates,  fountain  syrups  and  finished  goods  under  various  beverage  brands 
including Pepsi, Pepsi Max, 7UP, Diet Pepsi and Tropicana. These branded products are sold to authorized 
bottlers, independent distributors and retailers. In certain markets, however, Europe operates its own bottling 
plants and distribution facilities. Europe also, either independently or in conjunction with third parties, makes, 
markets and sells ready-to-drink tea products through an international joint venture with Unilever (under the 
Lipton brand name). In addition, Europe makes, markets, sells and distributes a number of leading dairy 
products including Domik v Derevne, Chudo and Agusha.

Europe reports two measures of volume. Snacks volume is reported on a system-wide basis, which includes 
our own sales and the sales by our noncontrolled affiliates of snacks bearing Company-owned or licensed 
trademarks. Beverage volume reflects Company-owned or authorized independent bottler sales of beverages 
bearing  Company-owned  or  licensed  trademarks  to  independent  distributors  and  retailers  (see  PepsiCo 
Americas  Beverages  above).  In  2011,  we  acquired  WBD,  Russia’s  leading  branded  food  and  beverage 
company. WBD’s portfolio of products is included within Europe’s snacks or beverage reporting, depending 
on product type.

See Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information about our acquisition of 
WBD in 2011.

Asia, Middle East and Africa

Either independently or in conjunction with third parties, AMEA makes, markets, sells and distributes a 
number of leading snack food brands including Lay’s, Kurkure, Chipsy, Doritos, Cheetos and Smith’s through 
consolidated  businesses  as  well  as  through  noncontrolled  affiliates.  Further,  either  independently  or  in 
conjunction with third parties, AMEA makes, markets and sells many Quaker-branded cereals and snacks.

AMEA also makes, markets, sells and distributes beverage concentrates, fountain syrups and finished goods 
under various beverage brands including Pepsi, Mirinda, 7UP, Mountain Dew, Aquafina and Tropicana. These 
branded products are sold to authorized bottlers, independent distributors and retailers. However, in certain 
markets, AMEA operates its own bottling plants and distribution facilities. AMEA also, either independently 
or  in  conjunction  with  third  parties,  makes,  markets  and  sells  ready-to-drink  tea  products  through  an 
international joint venture with Unilever (under the Lipton brand name). Further, we license the Tropicana 
brand for use in China on co-branded juice products to a strategic alliance with Tingyi which is reflected in 
our reported volume. AMEA reports two measures of volume (see Europe above).

See Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information about our transaction with 
Tingyi in 2012.

Our Customers

Our primary customers include wholesale and other distributors, foodservice customers, grocery stores, drug 
stores, convenience stores, discount/dollar stores, mass merchandisers, membership stores and authorized 
independent bottlers. We normally grant our independent bottlers exclusive contracts to sell and manufacture 
certain beverage products bearing our trademarks within a specific geographic area. These arrangements 
provide us with the right to charge our independent bottlers for concentrate, finished goods and Aquafina 
royalties and specify the manufacturing process required for product quality.  We also grant distribution rights 
to our independent bottlers for certain beverage products bearing our trademarks for specified geographic 
areas.

Since we do not sell directly to the consumer, we rely on and provide financial incentives to our customers 
to assist in the distribution and promotion of our products. For our independent distributors and retailers, 
these incentives include volume-based rebates, product placement fees, promotions and displays. For our 
independent bottlers, these incentives are referred to as bottler funding and are negotiated annually with each 
bottler to support a variety of trade and consumer programs, such as consumer incentives, advertising support, 
new product support, and vending and cooler equipment placement. Consumer incentives include coupons, 
pricing discounts and promotions, and other promotional offers. Advertising support is directed at advertising 
programs and supporting independent bottler media. New product support includes targeted consumer and 
retailer incentives and direct marketplace support, such as point-of-purchase materials, product placement 
fees, media and advertising. Vending and cooler equipment placement programs support the acquisition and 
placement of vending machines and cooler equipment. The nature and type of programs vary annually.

Retail consolidation and the current economic environment continue to increase the importance of major 
customers. In 2013, sales to Wal-Mart (including Sam’s) represented approximately 11% of our total net 
revenue.  Our  top  five  retail  customers  represented  approximately  30%  of  our  2013  North American  net 
revenue,  with  Wal-Mart  (including  Sam’s)  representing  approximately  17%.  These  percentages  include 
concentrate sales to our independent bottlers which were used in finished goods sold by them to these retailers.

Our Distribution Network

Our  products  are  brought  to  market  through  DSD,  customer  warehouse  and  distributor  networks.  The 
distribution system used depends on customer needs, product characteristics and local trade practices.

Direct-Store-Delivery

We, our independent 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.

36

Customer 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.

Distributor Networks

We distribute many of our products through third-party distributors. Third-party distributors are particularly 
effective  when  greater  distribution  reach  can  be  achieved  by  including  a  wide  range  of  products  on  the 
delivery vehicles. For example, our foodservice and vending business distributes snacks, foods and beverages 
to restaurants, businesses, schools and stadiums through third-party foodservice and vending distributors and 
operators.

Our Competition

Our businesses operate in highly competitive markets. Our beverage, snack and food brands compete against 
global, regional, local and private label manufacturers and other value competitors. In many countries in 
which we do business, The Coca-Cola Company is our primary beverage competitor. Other food and beverage 
competitors include, but are not limited to, ConAgra Foods, Inc., DPSG, Kellogg Company, Kraft Foods 
International, Inc., Monster Beverage Corporation, Nestlé S.A., Red Bull GmbH and 
Group, Inc., 
Snyder’s-Lance, Inc. In many markets, we also compete against numerous regional and local companies.

Many of our snack and food brands hold significant leadership positions in the snack and food industry 
worldwide. However, The Coca-Cola Company has significant CSD share advantage in many markets outside 
the United States.

Our beverage, snack and food brands compete on the basis of price, quality, product variety and distribution. 
Success  in  this  competitive  environment  is  dependent  on  effective  promotion  of  existing  products, 
introduction of new products and the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns, marketing programs, product 
packaging, pricing, increased efficiency in production techniques, new vending and dispensing equipment 
and brand and trademark development and protection. We believe that the strength of our brands, innovation 
and marketing, coupled with the quality of our products and flexibility of our distribution network, allows 
us to compete effectively.

Other Relationships

Certain members of our Board of Directors also serve on the boards of certain vendors and customers. These 
Board members do not participate in our vendor selection and negotiations nor in our customer negotiations. 
Our transactions with these vendors and customers are in the normal course of business and are consistent 
with terms negotiated with other vendors and customers. In addition, certain of our employees serve on the 
boards  of  Pepsi  Bottling  Ventures  LLC  and  other  affiliated  companies  of  PepsiCo  and  do  not  receive 
incremental compensation for such services.

Our Business Risks

We are subject to risks in the normal course of business. During 2012 and 2013, certain countries in Europe 
continued to experience debt and credit issues as well as currency fluctuations and, as a result, the operating 
environment in Europe remains challenging. In addition, continued political and civil unrest in the Middle 
East and currency fluctuations in markets such as Venezuela (discussed further below), Argentina and Turkey 
continued to result in challenging operating environments in the respective regions. We continue to monitor 
the economic and operating environment in these regions closely and have identified actions to potentially 

37

mitigate the unfavorable impact, if any, on our  future results. See also “Risk Factors” in Item 1A., “Executive 
Overview” above and “Market Risks” below for more information about these risks.

Risk Management Framework

The  achievement  of  our  strategic  and  operating  objectives  necessarily  involves  taking  risks.  Our  risk 
management process is intended to ensure that risks are taken knowingly and purposefully. As such, we 
leverage an integrated risk management framework, which is designed to identify, assess, prioritize, address, 
manage, monitor and communicate risks across the Company’s operations. This framework includes:

•  PepsiCo’s  Board  of  Directors  is  responsible  for  overseeing  risk  assessment  and  mitigation. The 
Board receives updates on key risks throughout the year. The Board has delegated oversight of certain 
categories of risk to designated Board committees which report to the Board regularly on matters 
relating to the risks the committees oversee.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors reviews and assesses the guidelines and 
policies  governing  PepsiCo’s  risk  management  and  oversight  processes  and  assists  the 
Board’s oversight of financial, compliance and employee safety risks facing PepsiCo; and

The Compensation Committee of the Board periodically reviews PepsiCo’s compensation 
policies and practices to assess whether such policies and practices could lead to unnecessary 
risk-taking behavior.

•  The  PepsiCo  Risk  Committee  (PRC),  which  is  comprised  of  a  cross-functional,  geographically 
diverse, senior management group which meets periodically to identify, assess, prioritize and address 
strategic, financial, operating, business, compliance, safety, reputational and other risks;

•  Division Risk Committees (DRC), comprised of cross-functional senior management teams which 

meet regularly to identify, assess, prioritize and address division-specific business risks;

•  PepsiCo’s Risk Management Office, which manages the overall risk management process, provides 
ongoing guidance, tools and analytical support to the PRC and the DRCs, identifies and assesses 
potential risks and facilitates ongoing communication between the parties, as well as with PepsiCo’s 
Board of Directors and the Audit Committee of the Board;

•  PepsiCo Corporate Audit, which evaluates the ongoing effectiveness of our key internal controls 

through periodic audit and review procedures; and

•  PepsiCo’s Compliance & Ethics Department, which leads and coordinates our compliance policies 

and practices.

Market Risks

We are exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in:

• 

• 

• 

commodity prices, affecting the cost of our raw materials and energy;

foreign exchange risks and currency restrictions; and

interest rates.

In the normal course of business, we manage these risks through a variety of strategies, including productivity 
initiatives,  purchasing  programs  and  hedging  strategies.  Ongoing  productivity  initiatives  involve  the 
identification and effective implementation of meaningful cost-saving opportunities or efficiencies, including 
the  use  of  derivatives.  Our  global  purchasing  programs  include  fixed-price  purchase  orders  and  pricing 
agreements. See Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements for further information on our non-cancelable 
purchasing  commitments.  Our  hedging  strategies  include  the  use  of  derivatives.  Certain  derivatives  are 

38

designated as either cash flow or fair value hedges and qualify for hedge accounting treatment, while others 
do not qualify and are marked to market through earnings. Cash flows from derivatives used to manage 
commodity  price,  foreign  exchange  or  interest  rate  risks  are  classified  as  operating  activities  in  the 
Consolidated  Statement  of  Cash  Flows. We  do  not  use  derivative  instruments  for  trading  or  speculative 
purposes. We perform assessments of our counterparty credit risk regularly, including a review of credit 
ratings, credit default swap rates and potential nonperformance of the counterparty. Based on our most recent 
assessment of our counterparty credit risk, we consider this risk to be low. In addition, we enter into derivative 
contracts  with  a  variety  of  financial  institutions  that  we  believe  are  creditworthy  in  order  to  reduce  our 
concentration of credit risk. See “Unfavorable economic conditions may have an adverse impact on our 
business results or financial condition.” and “Our operating results may be adversely affected by increased 
costs, disruption of supply or shortages of raw materials or other supplies.” in “Risk Factors” in Item 1A.

The fair value of our derivatives fluctuates based on market rates and prices. The sensitivity of our derivatives 
to these market fluctuations is discussed below. See Note 10 to consolidated financial statements for further 
discussion  of  these  derivatives  and  our  hedging  policies.  See  “Our  Critical Accounting  Policies”  for  a 
discussion of the exposure of our pension and retiree medical plan assets and liabilities to risks related to 
market fluctuations.

Inflationary, deflationary and recessionary conditions impacting these market risks also impact the demand 
for and pricing of our products. See “Risk Factors” in Item 1A. for further discussion.

Commodity Prices

We expect to be able to reduce the impact of volatility in our raw material and energy costs through our 
hedging strategies and ongoing sourcing initiatives. We use derivatives, with terms of no more than three 
years, to economically hedge price fluctuations related to a portion of our anticipated commodity purchases, 
primarily for agricultural products, energy and metals.

Our open commodity derivative contracts that qualify for hedge accounting had a face value of $494 million 
as of December 28, 2013 and $507 million as of December 29, 2012. At the end of 2013, the potential change 
in fair value of commodity derivative instruments, assuming a 10% decrease in the underlying commodity 
price, would have increased our net unrealized losses in 2013 by $47 million.

Our open commodity derivative contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting had a face value of  $881 
million as of December 28, 2013 and $853 million as of December 29, 2012.  At the end of 2013, the potential 
change  in  fair  value  of  commodity  derivative  instruments,  assuming  a  10%  decrease  in  the  underlying 
commodity price, would have increased our net losses in 2013 by $81 million.

Foreign Exchange

Financial statements of foreign subsidiaries 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 component of accumulated other comprehensive 
loss within PepsiCo common shareholders’ equity under the caption currency translation adjustment.

Our operations outside of the U.S. generate 49% of our net revenue, with Russia, Mexico, Canada, the United 
Kingdom and Brazil comprising approximately 25% of our net revenue in 2013.  As a result, we are exposed 
to  foreign  currency  risks.  During  2013,  unfavorable  foreign  exchange  reduced  net  revenue  growth  by  2 
percentage points, primarily due to depreciation of the Venezuelan bolivar (bolivar), Brazilian real, Egyptian 
pound and Russian ruble, partially offset by appreciation of the Mexican peso. Currency declines against the 
U.S. dollar which are not offset could adversely impact our future results.

39

The results of our Venezuelan businesses have been reported under highly inflationary accounting since the 
beginning of our 2010 fiscal year, at which time the functional currency of our Venezuelan entities was 
changed from the bolivar to the U.S. dollar.  In 2013 and 2012, the majority of our transactions and net 
monetary assets qualified to be remeasured at the official exchange rate of obtaining U.S. dollars for dividends 
through the government-operated Foreign Exchange Administration Board (CADIVI). Effective February 
2013,  the Venezuelan  government  devalued  the  bolivar  by  resetting  the  official  exchange  rate  from  4.3 
bolivars per dollar to 6.3 bolivars per dollar. Additionally, the Transaction System for Foreign Currency 
Denominated  Securities  (SITME)  administered  by  the  Central  Bank  of  Venezuela  for  non-CADIVI 
transactions was eliminated. To replace the SITME, the government announced a new auction-based foreign 
exchange  system  (SICAD) that functions  as  the  official  channel  to  acquire  dollars,  for  non-CADIVI 
transactions, at a rate higher than the official exchange rate. The devaluation resulted in an after-tax net charge 
of $111 million in the first quarter of 2013 associated with the remeasurement of bolivar-denominated net 
monetary assets reflected in items affecting comparability (see “Items Affecting Comparability”). The impact 
of this devaluation on our 2013 net revenue and operating profit was not material. In both 2013 and 2012, 
our operations in Venezuela generated 1% of our net revenue and 2% of our operating profit. In 2013 and 
2012,  our  operations  in  Venezuela  comprised  5%  and  7%  of  our  cash  and  cash  equivalents  balance, 
respectively. We continue to use available options to obtain U.S. dollars to meet our operational needs.

We are also exposed to foreign currency risk from foreign currency purchases and foreign currency assets 
and liabilities created in the normal course of business. We manage this risk through sourcing purchases from 
local  suppliers,  negotiating  contracts  in  local  currencies  with  foreign  suppliers  and  through  the  use  of 
derivatives, primarily forward contracts with terms of no more than two years. Exchange rate gains or losses 
related to foreign currency transactions are recognized as transaction gains or losses in our income statement 
as incurred.  

Our foreign currency derivatives had a total face value of $2.5 billion as of December 28, 2013 and $2.8 
billion as of December 29, 2012. At the end of 2013, we estimate that an unfavorable 10% change in the 
exchange  rates  would  have  decreased  our  net  unrealized  gains  by  $128  million.  For  foreign  currency 
derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, 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 investment portfolios considering investment opportunities and risks, tax 
consequences and overall financing strategies. We use various interest rate derivative instruments including, 
but not limited to, interest rate swaps, cross-currency interest rate swaps, Treasury locks and swap locks to 
manage our overall interest expense and foreign exchange risk. These instruments effectively change the 
interest rate and currency of specific debt issuances. Certain of our fixed rate indebtedness has been swapped 
to floating rates. The notional amount, interest payment and maturity date of the interest rate and cross-
currency interest rate swaps match the principal, interest payment and maturity date of the related debt. Our 
Treasury locks and swap locks are entered into to protect against unfavorable interest rate changes relating 
to forecasted debt transactions.

The notional amounts of the interest rate derivative instruments outstanding as of December 28, 2013 and 
December 29, 2012 were $7.9 billion and $8.1 billion, respectively. Assuming year-end 2013 investment 
levels and variable rate debt, a 1-percentage-point increase in interest rates would have decreased net interest 
expense by $5 million in 2013 due to higher cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments levels as 
compared with our variable rate debt.

OUR CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

Our critical accounting policies are:

• 

revenue recognition;

•  goodwill and other intangible assets;

• 

income tax expense and accruals; and

•  pension and retiree medical plans.

Revenue Recognition

Our products are sold for cash or on credit terms. Our credit terms, which are established in accordance with 
local and industry practices, typically require payment within 30 days of delivery in the U.S., and generally 
within 30 to 90 days internationally, 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 certain 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  certain  warehouse-distributed  products  is  to  replace  damaged  and  out-of-date 
products. Based on our experience with this practice, we have reserved for anticipated damaged and out-of-
date products.

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 and storerooms limiting the quantity of 
product.  For  product  delivered  through  our  other  distribution  networks,  we  monitor  customer  inventory 
levels.

As  discussed  in  “Our  Customers,”  we  offer  sales  incentives  and  discounts  through  various  programs  to 
customers and consumers. Total marketplace spending includes sales incentives, discounts, advertising and 
other marketing activities. Sales incentives and discounts are primarily accounted for as a reduction of revenue 
and totaled $34.7 billion in both 2013 and 2012, and $34.6 billion in 2011. Sales incentives and discounts 
include payments to customers for performing merchandising activities on our behalf, such as payments for 
in-store displays, payments to gain distribution of new products, payments for shelf space and discounts to 
promote lower retail prices. Sales incentives and discounts also include support provided to our independent 
bottlers through funding of advertising and other marketing activities.  A number of our sales incentives, 
such as bottler funding to independent bottlers 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 experience 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 insignificant and are recognized in earnings in the period such differences 
are determined. In addition, certain advertising and marketing costs are also based on annual targets and 
recognized during the year as incurred. The terms of most of our incentive arrangements do not exceed a 

41

year,  and  therefore  do  not  require  highly  uncertain  long-term  estimates.    Certain  arrangements,  such  as 
fountain pouring rights, may extend beyond one year.  Payments made to obtain these rights are recognized 
over the shorter of the economic or contractual life, primarily as a reduction of revenue, and the remaining 
balances of $410 million as of December 28, 2013 and $335 million as of December 29, 2012 are included 
in prepaid expenses and other current assets on our balance sheet.

For  interim  reporting,  our  policy  is  to  allocate  our  forecasted  full-year  sales  incentives  for  most  of  our 
programs to each of our interim reporting periods in the same year that benefits from the programs. The 
allocation methodology is based on our forecasted sales incentives for the full year and the proportion of 
each interim period’s actual gross revenue or volume, as applicable, to our forecasted annual gross revenue 
or volume, as applicable. Based on our review of the forecasts at each interim period, any changes in estimates 
and the related allocation of sales incentives are recognized beginning in the interim period that they are 
identified.  In  addition,  we  apply  a  similar  allocation  methodology  for  interim  reporting  purposes  for 
advertising and other marketing activities. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for additional 
information on our total marketplace spending. Our annual financial statements are not impacted by this 
interim allocation methodology.

We estimate and reserve for our bad debt exposure based on our experience with past due accounts and 
collectibility, the aging of accounts receivable and our analysis of customer data. Bad debt expense is classified 
within selling, general and administrative expenses in our income statement.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

We  sell  products  under  a  number  of  brand  names,  many  of  which  were  developed  by  us.  The  brand 
development  costs  are  expensed  as  incurred.  We  also  purchase  brands  and  other  intangible  assets  in 
acquisitions. In a business combination, the consideration is first assigned to identifiable assets and liabilities, 
including brands and other intangible assets, based on estimated fair values, with any excess recorded as 
goodwill. Determining fair value requires significant estimates and assumptions based on an evaluation of 
a number of factors, such as marketplace participants, product life cycles, market share, consumer awareness, 
brand history and future expansion expectations, amount and timing of future cash flows and the discount 
rate applied to the cash flows.

We believe that a brand has an indefinite life if it has a history of strong revenue and cash flow 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 amortized over their expected useful lives, which 
generally range from five to 40 years.  Determining the expected life of a brand requires management judgment 
and is based on an evaluation of a number of factors, including market share, consumer awareness, brand 
history, future expansion expectations and regulatory restrictions, as well as the macroeconomic environment 
of the countries in which the brand is sold.

In connection with previous acquisitions, we reacquired certain franchise rights which provided the exclusive 
and perpetual rights to manufacture and/or distribute beverages for sale in specified territories. In determining 
the useful life of these reacquired franchise rights, many factors were considered, including the pre-existing 
perpetual bottling arrangements, the indefinite period expected for the reacquired rights to contribute to our 
future cash flows, as well as the lack of any factors that would limit the useful life of the reacquired rights 
to us, including legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factors. Therefore, certain 
reacquired franchise rights are considered as indefinite-lived, with the balance amortized over the remaining 
contractual period of the contract in which the right was granted.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill are not amortized and are assessed for impairment at least 
annually, using either a qualitative or quantitative approach. Where we use the qualitative assessment, first 

42

we determine if, based on qualitative factors, it is more likely than not that an impairment does not exist. 
Factors  considered  include  macroeconomic,  industry  and  competitive  conditions,  legal  and  regulatory 
environment, historical financial performance and significant changes in the brand or reporting unit.  If the 
qualitative assessment indicates a potential impairment then a quantitative assessment is performed. 

The quantitative assessment requires an analysis of several estimates including future cash flows or income 
consistent  with  management’s  strategic  business  plans,  annual  sales  growth  rates  and  the  selection  of  a 
discount rate based on market data available at the time. In the quantitative assessment of indefinite-lived 
intangible assets, if the carrying amount of the indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, as 
determined by its discounted cash flows or another income-based approach, an impairment loss is recognized 
in  an  amount  equal  to  that  excess.  Quantitative  assessment  of  goodwill  is  performed  using  a  two-step 
impairment test at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit can be a division or business within a division. 
The first step compares the book value of a reporting unit, including goodwill, with its fair value, as determined 
by its discounted cash flows. Discounted cash flows are primarily based on growth rates for sales and operating 
profit which are inputs from our annual long-range planning process. Additionally, they are also impacted 
by estimates of discount rates, perpetuity growth assumptions and other factors. 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, if any. In the second step, we determine an implied fair value of the reporting 
unit’s goodwill by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities other than 
goodwill (including any unrecognized 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 intangible assets are only evaluated for impairment upon a significant change in the operating 
or macroeconomic environment. If an evaluation of the undiscounted future cash flows indicates impairment, 
the asset is written down to its estimated fair value, which is based on its discounted future cash flows or 
another income-based approach.

Significant  management  judgment  is  necessary  to  evaluate  the  impact  of  operating  and  macroeconomic 
changes and to estimate future cash flows or sales. 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 operating plans. These assumptions could be adversely impacted 
by certain of the risks discussed in “Risk Factors” in Item 1A. and “Our Business Risks.”

We did not recognize any impairment charges for goodwill in the three years ended December 28, 2013, 
December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011. In addition, as of December 28, 2013, we did not have any 
reporting units that were at risk of failing the first step of the goodwill impairment test. We recognized no 
impairment  charges  for  nonamortizable  intangible  assets  in  2013.  In  2012  and  2011,  we  recognized 
impairment charges in Europe for other nonamortizable intangible assets of $23 million and $14 million, 
respectively.  

Income Tax Expense and Accruals

Our annual tax rate is based on our income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available to us 
in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Significant 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 supportable, we believe that certain positions are subject to challenge and that we likely 
will not succeed. We adjust these reserves, as well as the related interest, in light of changing facts and 
circumstances, such as the progress of a tax audit. See “Imposition of new taxes, disagreements with tax 
authorities or additional tax liabilities could adversely impact our financial performance.” in “Risk Factors” 
in Item 1A.

43

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

Tax law requires items to be included in our tax returns at different times than the items are reflected in our 
financial statements. As a result, our annual tax rate reflected in our financial statements is 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 benefit 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 
financial 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 financial statements.

In 2013, our annual tax rate was 23.7% compared to 25.2% in 2012, as discussed in “Other Consolidated 
Results.” The tax rate decreased 1.5 percentage points compared to the prior year, due to resolution with the 
IRS of audits for taxable years 2003 through 2009, the favorable tax effects of international refranchising, 
the reversal of international and state tax reserves resulting from the expiration of statutes of limitations, 
favorable resolution of certain tax matters and the lapping of the tax impact of the transaction with Tingyi 
in 2012. These decreases were partially offset by the lapping of a 2012 tax benefit related to a favorable tax 
court decision, the 2012 pre-payment of Medicare subsidy liabilities and the impact of the 2013 Venezuela 
devaluation.

Pension and Retiree Medical Plans

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

As of February 2012, certain U.S. employees earning a benefit under one of our defined benefit pension 
plans were no longer eligible for Company matching contributions on their 401(k) contributions.

In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company offered certain former employees who had vested benefits in our 
defined benefit pension plans the option of receiving a one-time lump sum payment equal to the present 
value of the participant’s pension benefit (payable in cash or rolled over into a qualified retirement plan or 
Individual Retirement Account (IRA)). See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements.

Our Assumptions

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

Significant assumptions used to measure our annual pension and retiree medical expenses include:

44

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

the interest rate used to determine the present value of liabilities (discount rate);

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

the expected return on assets in our funded plans;

for pension expense, the rate of salary increases for plans where benefits are based on earnings; and

for retiree medical expense, health care cost trend rates.

Our  assumptions  reflect  our  historical  experience  and  management’s  best  judgment  regarding  future 
expectations. Due to the significant management judgment involved, our assumptions could have a material 
impact on the measurement of our pension and retiree medical benefit expenses and obligations.

At each measurement date, the discount rates are based on interest rates for high-quality, long-term corporate 
debt securities with maturities comparable to those of our liabilities. In 2011, our U.S. discount rate was 
determined  using  the  Mercer  Pension  Discount Yield  Curve  (Mercer  Curve). The  Mercer  Curve  used  a 
portfolio of high-quality bonds rated Aa or higher by Moody’s. In 2012, due to the downgrade of several 
global financial institutions by Moody’s, Mercer developed a new curve, the Above Mean Curve, which we 
used to determine the discount rate for our U.S. pension and retiree medical plans as of year-end 2012 and 
going forward. These curves include bonds that closely match the timing and amount of our expected benefit 
payments and reflect the portfolio of investments we would consider to settle our liabilities.

The  expected  return  on  pension  plan  assets  is  based  on  our  pension  plan  investment  strategy  and  our 
expectations for long-term rates of return by asset class, taking into account volatility and correlation among 
asset classes and our historical experience. We also review current levels of interest rates and inflation to 
assess the reasonableness of the long-term rates. We evaluate our expected return assumptions annually to 
ensure that they are reasonable. Our pension plan investment strategy includes the use of actively managed 
securities and is reviewed periodically in conjunction with plan liabilities, an evaluation of market conditions, 
tolerance for risk and cash requirements for benefit payments. Our investment objective is to ensure that 
funds are available to meet the plans’ benefit obligations when they become due. Our overall investment 
strategy  is  to  prudently  invest  plan  assets  in  a  well-diversified  portfolio  of  equity  and  high-quality  debt 
securities and real estate to achieve our long-term return expectations. Our investment policy also permits 
the use of derivative instruments which are primarily used to reduce risk. Our expected long-term rate of 
return on U.S. plan assets is 7.5% for 2014 and 7.8% for 2013.

Our target investment allocations are as follows:

Fixed income
U.S. equity
International equity
Real estate

2014
40%
33%
22%
5%

2013
40%
33%
22%
5%

Actual investment allocations may vary from our target investment allocations due to prevailing market 
conditions. We regularly review our actual investment allocations and periodically rebalance our investments 
to our target allocations. To calculate the expected return on pension plan assets, our market-related value 
of assets for fixed income is the actual fair value. For all other asset categories, we use a method that recognizes 
investment gains or losses (the difference between the expected and actual return based on the market-related 
value of assets) over a five-year period. This has the effect of reducing year-to-year volatility.

The difference between the actual return on plan assets and the expected return on plan assets is added to, 
or subtracted from, other gains and losses resulting from actual experience differing from our assumptions 
and from changes in our assumptions determined at each measurement date. If this net accumulated gain or 
45

loss exceeds 10% of the greater of the market-related value of plan assets or plan liabilities, a portion of the 
net gain or loss is included in expense for the following year based upon the average remaining service period 
of active plan participants, which is approximately 11 years for pension expense and approximately 9 years 
for retiree medical expense. The cost or benefit of plan changes that increase or decrease benefits for prior 
employee service (prior service cost/(credit)) is included in earnings on a straight-line basis over the average 
remaining service period of active plan participants.

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 experience, 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

Expense discount rate
Expected rate of return on plan assets
Current health care cost trend rate

Based on our assumptions, we expect our pension and retiree medical expenses to decrease in 2014 primarily 
driven by higher discount rates.

Sensitivity of Assumptions

A decrease in the discount rate or in the expected rate of return assumptions would increase pension expense. 
A 25-basis-point decrease in the discount rate and expected rate of return assumptions would increase the 
2014 pension expense as follows:

Assumption

Expected rate of return

Amount
$64 million
$33 million

See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements for information about the sensitivity of our retiree medical 
cost assumptions.

Funding

We  make  contributions  to  pension  trusts  that  provide  plan  benefits  for  certain  pension  plans.  These 
contributions are made in accordance with applicable tax regulations that provide for current tax deductions 
for our contributions and taxation to the employee only upon receipt of plan benefits. Generally, we do not 
fund our pension plans when our contributions would not be currently tax deductible. As our retiree medical 
plans are not subject to regulatory funding requirements, we generally fund these plans on a pay-as-you-go 
basis,  although  we  periodically  review  available  options  to  make  additional  contributions  toward  these 
benefits.

Our pension contributions were $200 million, $1,614 million and $239 million for 2013, 2012 and 2011, 
respectively,  of  which  $23  million,  $1,375  million  and  $61  million,  respectively,  was  discretionary. 
Discretionary contributions for 2012 included $405 million pertaining to pension lump sum payments. In 

46

2013, 2012 and 2011, we made non-discretionary contributions of $62 million, $111 million and $110 million, 
respectively, to fund the payment of retiree medical claims. In 2012, we made a discretionary contribution 
of $140 million to fund future U.S. retiree medical plan benefits.

In 2014, we expect to make pension and retiree medical contributions of approximately $260 million, with    
approximately $70 million for retiree medical benefits. Our pension and retiree medical contributions are 
subject to change as a result of many factors, such as changes in interest rates, deviations between actual and 
expected  asset  returns  and  changes  in  tax  or  other  benefit  laws.  For  estimated  future  benefit  payments, 
including our pay-as-you-go payments as well as those from trusts, see Note 7 to our consolidated financial 
statements.

Mark-to-Market Net Impact

We centrally manage commodity derivatives on behalf of our divisions. These commodity derivatives include 
agricultural products, energy and metals. Certain of these commodity derivatives do not qualify for hedge 
accounting treatment and are marked to market with the resulting gains and losses recorded in corporate 
unallocated expenses as either cost of sales or selling, general and administrative expenses, depending on 
the underlying commodity. These gains and losses are subsequently reflected in division results when the 
divisions recognize the cost of the underlying commodity in net income. Therefore, the divisions realize the 
economic  effects  of  the  derivative  without  experiencing  any  resulting  mark-to-market  volatility,  which 
remains in corporate unallocated expenses.

In 2013, we recognized $72 million ($44 million after-tax or $0.03 per share) of mark-to-market net losses 
on commodity hedges in corporate unallocated expenses.

In 2012, we recognized $65 million ($41 million after-tax or $0.03 per share) of mark-to-market net gains 
on commodity hedges in corporate unallocated expenses.

In 2011, we recognized $102 million ($71 million after-tax or $0.04 per share) of mark-to-market net losses 
on commodity hedges in corporate unallocated expenses.

Merger and Integration Charges

In 2013, we incurred merger and integration charges of $10 million ($8 million after-tax or $0.01 per share) 
related to our acquisition of WBD, all of which were recorded in the Europe segment.

In 2012, we incurred merger and integration charges of $16 million ($12 million after-tax or $0.01 per share) 
related to our acquisition of WBD, including $11 million recorded in the Europe segment and $5 million 
recorded in interest expense.  

In 2011, we incurred merger and integration charges of $329 million ($271 million after-tax or $0.17 per 
share) related to our acquisitions of The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc. (PBG), PepsiAmericas, Inc. (PAS) and 
WBD, including $112 million recorded in the PAB segment, $123 million recorded in the Europe segment, 
$78 million recorded in corporate unallocated expenses and $16 million recorded in interest expense. These 
charges also include closing costs and advisory fees related to our acquisition of WBD.

Restructuring and Impairment Charges

2014 Multi-Year Productivity Plan

The multi-year productivity plan we publicly announced on February 13, 2014 (2014 Productivity Plan) 
includes the next generation of productivity initiatives that we believe will strengthen our food, snack and 
beverage businesses by accelerating our investment in manufacturing automation; further optimizing our 
global manufacturing footprint, including closing certain manufacturing facilities; re-engineering our go-to-
market systems in developed markets; expanding shared services; and implementing simplified organization 
structures to drive efficiency. The 2014 Productivity Plan is in addition to the productivity plan we began 
implementing in 2012 and is expected to continue the benefits of that plan.  

In  2013,  we  incurred  restructuring  charges  of  $53  million  ($39  million  after-tax  or  $0.02  per  share)  in 
conjunction with our 2014 Productivity Plan, including $11 million in the FLNA segment, $3 million in the 
QFNA segment, $5 million in the LAF segment, $10 million in the PAB segment, $10 million in the Europe 
segment, $1 million in the AMEA segment and $13 million recorded in corporate unallocated expenses.

We expect to incur pre-tax charges of approximately $990 million, $53 million of which was reflected in our 
2013 results, approximately $440 million of which will be reflected in our 2014 results and the balance of 

48

which will be reflected in our 2015 through 2018 results. These charges totaling $990 million will consist 
of approximately $565 million of severance and other employee-related costs; approximately $210 million 
for other costs, including consulting-related costs and the termination of leases and other contracts; and 
approximately $215 million for asset impairments (all non-cash) resulting from plant closures and related 
actions. We anticipate approximately $320 million of related cash expenditures during 2014, with the balance 
of  approximately  $355  million  of  related  cash  expenditures  in  2015  through  2018.  See  Note  3  to  our 
consolidated financial statements. 

2012 Multi-Year Productivity Plan

The  multi-year  productivity  plan  we  publicly  announced  on  February  9,  2012  (2012  Productivity  Plan) 
includes actions in every aspect of our business that we believe will strengthen our complementary food, 
snack and beverage businesses by leveraging new technologies and processes across PepsiCo’s operations, 
go-to-market  and  information  systems;  heightening  the  focus  on  best  practice  sharing  across  the  globe; 
consolidating  manufacturing,  warehouse  and  sales  facilities;  and  implementing  simplified  organization 
structures, with wider spans of control and fewer layers of management. The 2012 Productivity Plan continues 
to enhance PepsiCo’s cost-competitiveness and provide a source of funding for future brand-building and 
innovation initiatives.

In 2013, we incurred restructuring charges of $110 million ($90 million after-tax or $0.06 per share) in 
conjunction with our 2012 Productivity Plan, including $8 million in the FLNA segment, $1 million in the 
QFNA segment, $7 million in the LAF segment, $21 million in the PAB segment, $50 million in the Europe 
segment, $25 million in the AMEA segment and income of $2 million recorded in corporate unallocated 
expenses representing adjustments of previously recorded amounts.

In 2012, we incurred restructuring charges of $279 million ($215 million after-tax or $0.14 per share) in 
conjunction with our 2012 Productivity Plan, including $38 million recorded in the FLNA segment, $9 million 
recorded in the QFNA segment, $50 million recorded in the LAF segment, $102 million recorded in the PAB 
segment, $42 million recorded in the Europe segment, $28 million recorded in the AMEA segment and $10 
million recorded in corporate unallocated expenses. 

In 2011, we incurred restructuring charges of $383 million ($286 million after-tax or $0.18 per share) in 
conjunction with our 2012 Productivity Plan, including $76 million recorded in the FLNA segment, $18 
million recorded in the QFNA segment, $48 million recorded in the LAF segment, $81 million recorded in 
the PAB segment, $77 million recorded in the Europe segment, $9 million recorded in the AMEA segment 
and $74 million recorded in corporate unallocated expenses. 

We expect to incur pre-tax charges of approximately $910 million, $110 million of which was reflected in 
our 2013 results, $279 million of which was reflected in our 2012 results, $383 million of which was reflected 
in our 2011 results, and the balance of which will be reflected in our 2014 through 2015 results. These charges 
will consist of approximately $560 million of severance and other employee-related costs; approximately 
$270  million  for  other  costs,  including  consulting-related  costs  and  the  termination  of  leases  and  other 
contracts; and approximately $80 million for asset impairments (all non-cash) resulting from plant closures 
and related actions. These charges resulted in cash expenditures of $133 million in 2013, $343 million in 
2012 and $30 million in 2011, with the balance of approximately $200 million expected in 2014 through 
2015. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements.  

Venezuela Currency Devaluation

In 2013, we recorded a $111 million net charge related to the devaluation of the bolivar for our Venezuela 
businesses. $124 million of this charge was recorded in corporate unallocated expenses, with the balance 
(equity income of $13 million) recorded in our PAB segment.  In total, this net charge had an after-tax impact 
of $111 million or $0.07 per share.

49

Tax Benefits

In 2013, we recognized a non-cash tax benefit of $209 million ($0.13 per share) associated with our agreement 
with the IRS resolving all open matters related to the audits for taxable years 2003 through 2009, which 
reduced  our  reserve  for  uncertain  tax  positions  for  the  tax  years  2003  through  2012.  See  Note  5  to  our 
consolidated financial statements.

In 2012, we recognized a non-cash tax benefit of $217 million ($0.14 per share) associated with a favorable 
tax  court  decision  related  to  the  classification  of  financial  instruments.    See  Note  5  to  our  consolidated 
financial statements.

Restructuring and Other Charges Related to the Transaction with Tingyi

In 2012, we recorded restructuring and other charges of $150 million ($176 million after-tax or $0.11 per 
share) in the AMEA segment related to the transaction with Tingyi. See Note 15 to our consolidated financial 
statements.

Pension Lump Sum Settlement Charge

In 2012, we recorded a pension lump sum settlement charge in corporate unallocated expenses of $195 million 
($131 million after-tax or $0.08 per share).  See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements.

53rd Week

In 2011, we had an additional week of results (53rd week). Our fiscal year ends on the last Saturday of each 
December, resulting in an additional week of results every five or six years. The 53rd week increased 2011 
net revenue by $623 million and operating profit by $109 million ($64 million after-tax or $0.04 per share).

Inventory Fair Value Adjustments

In 2011, we recorded $46 million ($28 million after-tax or $0.02 per share) of incremental costs in cost of 
sales related to fair value adjustments to the acquired inventory included in WBD’s balance sheet at the 
acquisition date and hedging contracts included in PBG’s and PAS’s balance sheets at the acquisition date.

Non-GAAP Measures

Certain measures contained in this Form 10-K are financial measures that are adjusted for items affecting 
comparability (see “Items Affecting Comparability” for a detailed list and description of each of these items), 
as well as, in certain instances, adjusted for foreign exchange. These measures are not in accordance with 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Items adjusted for currency assume foreign currency 
exchange rates used for translation based on the rates in effect for the comparable prior-year period. In order 
to compute our constant currency results, we multiply or divide, as appropriate, our current year U.S. dollar 
results by the current year average foreign exchange rates and then multiply or divide, as appropriate, those 
amounts by the prior year average foreign exchange rates. We believe investors should consider these non-
GAAP measures in evaluating our results as they are more indicative of our ongoing performance and with 
how management evaluates our operational results and trends. These measures are not, and should not be 
viewed as, a substitute for U.S. GAAP reporting measures. See also “Organic Revenue Growth” and “Free 
Cash Flow.”

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 and “net pricing” reflects the year-over-year 
combined impact of list price changes, weight changes per package, discounts and allowances. Additionally, 
“acquisitions  and  divestitures,”  except  as  otherwise  noted,  reflect  all  mergers  and  acquisitions  activity, 
including  the  impact  of  acquisitions,  divestitures  and  changes  in  ownership  or  control  in  consolidated 
subsidiaries and nonconsolidated equity investees.

Servings

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

In 2013, total servings increased 2% compared to 2012. In 2012, total servings increased 3% compared to 
2011. Excluding the impact of the 53rd week in 2011, total servings also increased 3% in 2012 compared to 
2011. 2013 and 2012 servings growth reflects an adjustment to the base year for divestitures and business 
changes.

2013

On a reported basis, total operating profit increased 7% and operating margin increased 0.7 percentage points. 
Operating profit growth was primarily driven by effective net pricing and planned cost reductions across a 
number of expense categories, partially offset by certain operating cost increases including strategic initiatives 
related to capacity and capability, higher advertising and marketing expenses and higher commodity costs.  
Commodity  inflation  reduced  operating  profit  growth  by  2  percentage  points,  primarily  attributable  to 
inflation  in  the  Europe,  LAF  and AMEA  segments,  partially  offset  by  deflation  in  the  PAB  and  FLNA 
segments. Operating profit also benefited from actions associated with our productivity initiatives, which 
contributed more than $900 million in cost reductions across a number of expense categories among all of 
our divisions. Other corporate unallocated expenses increased 7%, reflecting incremental investments in our 
business. Items affecting comparability (see “Items Affecting Comparability”) positively contributed 2.6 
percentage  points  to  total  operating  profit  growth  and  0.3  percentage  points  to  total  operating  margin. 
Additionally, the gain from structural changes in the second quarter of 2013 due to the beverage refranchising 
in our Vietnam business increased total operating profit growth by 1.5 percentage points (see Note 15 to our 
consolidated financial statements). This gain was substantially offset during 2013 by incremental investments 
in our business, primarily in the AMEA and Europe segments and in corporate unallocated expenses. 

2012

On a reported basis, total operating profit decreased 5% and operating margin decreased 0.6 percentage 
points.  Operating  profit  performance  was  primarily  driven  by  certain  operating  cost  increases  reflecting 
strategic  initiatives  related  to  capacity  and  capability,  higher  commodity  costs,  higher  advertising  and 
marketing expense and unfavorable foreign exchange, partially offset by effective net pricing. Other corporate 
unallocated expenses increased 21%, primarily driven by increased pension expense.  Commodity inflation 
was  approximately  $1.2  billion  compared  to  the  prior  period,  primarily  attributable  to  PAB,  FLNA  and 
Europe.  Operating  profit  also  benefited  from  actions  associated  with  our  productivity  initiatives,  which 
contributed more than $1 billion in cost reductions across a number of expense categories among all of our 
divisions. Items affecting comparability (see “Items Affecting Comparability”) positively contributed 1.2 
percentage points to the total operating profit performance and 0.4 percentage points to total operating margin.

Net interest expense increased $6 million, primarily reflecting higher average debt balances and lower interest 
income  due  to  lower  investment  interest  rates,  partially  offset  by  higher  gains  on  the  market  value  of 
investments used to economically hedge a portion of our deferred compensation costs.

The tax rate decreased 1.5 percentage points compared to the prior year, due to resolution with the IRS of 
audits for taxable years 2003 through 2009, the favorable tax effects of international refranchising, the reversal 
of  international  and  state  tax  reserves  resulting  from  the  expiration  of  statutes  of  limitations,  favorable 
resolution of certain tax matters and the lapping of the tax impact of the transaction with Tingyi in 2012. 
These decreases were partially offset by the lapping of a 2012 tax benefit related to a favorable tax court 
decision,  the  2012  pre-payment  of  Medicare  subsidy  liabilities  and  the  impact  of  the  2013  Venezuela 
devaluation.

Net income attributable to PepsiCo increased 9% and net income attributable to PepsiCo per common share 
increased 10%. Items affecting comparability (see “Items Affecting Comparability”) positively contributed 
3 percentage points to both net income attributable to PepsiCo and net income attributable to PepsiCo per 
common share.

2012

Net interest expense increased $9 million, primarily reflecting higher average debt balances and higher rates 
on our debt balances, partially offset by gains in the market value of investments used to economically hedge 
a portion of our deferred compensation costs and the impact of the 53rd week in the prior year.

The tax rate decreased 1.6 percentage points compared to 2011, primarily reflecting the tax impact of a 
favorable tax court decision combined with the pre-payment of Medicare subsidy liabilities, partially offset 
by the tax impact of the transaction with Tingyi and the lapping of prior year tax benefits related to a portion 
of our international bottling operations.

Net income attributable to PepsiCo decreased 4% and net income attributable to PepsiCo per common share 
decreased 3%. Items affecting comparability (see “Items Affecting Comparability”) positively contributed  
4 percentage points to both net income attributable to PepsiCo and net income attributable to PepsiCo per 
common share.

Results of Operations — Division Review

(a)  Excludes the impact of acquisitions and divestitures. In certain instances, volume growth varies from the amounts disclosed in the following 
divisional discussions due to nonconsolidated joint venture volume, and, for our beverage businesses, temporary timing differences between 
BCS and CSE, as well as the mix of beverage volume sold by our Company-owned and franchised-owned bottlers. Our net revenue excludes 
nonconsolidated joint venture volume, and, for our beverage businesses, 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.

Organic Revenue Growth

Organic revenue growth is a significant measure we use to monitor net revenue performance. However, it is 
not a measure provided by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. Therefore, this measure is 
not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for U.S. GAAP net revenue growth. In order to compute our 
organic revenue growth results, we exclude the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, foreign exchange 
translation and the 53rd week from reported net revenue growth. See also “Non-GAAP Measures.”

Net revenue grew 4% and pound volume grew 3%. Net revenue growth was driven by the volume growth 
and effective net pricing. The volume growth reflects high-single-digit growth in trademark Cheetos and in 
variety packs, low-single-digit growth in trademark Lay’s and double-digit growth in our Sabra joint venture. 
These gains were partially offset by a double-digit decline in trademark SunChips. 

Operating profit grew 6%, primarily reflecting the net revenue growth and planned cost reductions across a 
number of expense categories, as well as lower commodity costs, primarily cooking oil, which increased 
operating profit growth by 2 percentage points. These impacts were partially offset by certain operating cost 
increases including strategic initiatives.

2012

Net revenue increased 2% and pound volume declined 1%. Net revenue growth was driven by effective net 
pricing, partially offset by the volume decline. The volume performance reflects double-digit declines in 
trademark SunChips and Rold Gold, a low-single-digit decline in trademark Lay’s and a mid-single-digit 
decline in trademark Tostitos, partially offset by a high-single-digit increase in variety packs and a double-
digit increase in our Sabra joint venture. The impact of the 53rd week in the prior year reduced both volume 
and net revenue performance by 2 percentage points.

Operating profit grew 1%, driven by the net revenue growth and planned cost reductions across a number 
of expense categories, partially offset by higher commodity costs, primarily cooking oil, which reduced 
operating profit growth by 6 percentage points, and higher advertising and marketing expenses. The impact 
of the 53rd week in the prior year reduced operating profit growth by 2 percentage points. Lower restructuring 
and impairment charges contributed 1 percentage point to operating profit growth.

Net revenue declined 1% and volume increased 3%. The net revenue decline primarily reflects unfavorable 
product mix. The volume growth primarily reflects growth in Müller Quaker Dairy (MQD) products (launched 
in the prior year) and low-single-digit growth in Oatmeal and Aunt Jemima syrup and mix.

Operating profit declined 11%, reflecting the unfavorable product mix, as well as our share of the operating 
results of our MQD joint venture, which negatively impacted operating profit performance by 6 percentage 
points, and certain operating cost increases reflecting strategic initiatives. These impacts were partially offset 
by planned cost reductions across a number of expense categories and the volume growth.

2012

Net revenue and volume declined 1%. The net revenue decline reflects the lower volume, partially offset by 
effective net pricing. The volume decline primarily reflects a double-digit decline in Chewy granola bars 
and a low-single-digit decline in oatmeal, partially offset by the introduction of Soft Baked Cookies in the 
second quarter of 2012. The volume and net revenue declines reflect the impact of the 53rd week in 2011, 
which contributed nearly 2 percentage points to both the net revenue and volume declines.  

Operating profit declined 13%, primarily reflecting higher commodity costs, which negatively impacted 
operating profit performance by 9 percentage points, partially offset by lower general and administrative 
expenses and effective net pricing. The net impact of acquisitions and divestitures, including the operating 
results of our MQD joint venture and the gain on the divestiture of a business in the prior year, reduced 
operating profit performance by 5 percentage points. Additionally, the benefit from a change in accounting 
methodology for inventory and the sale of a distribution center, both of which were recorded in the prior 
year, each contributed 2 percentage points to the operating profit decline. The net impact of items affecting 
comparability in the above table (see “Items Affecting Comparability”) negatively impacted operating profit 
performance by 1 percentage point.

Net revenue increased 7%, primarily reflecting favorable effective net pricing. Unfavorable foreign exchange 
reduced net revenue growth by 6 percentage points.  

Volume increased 2%, reflecting a mid-single-digit increase in Brazil and low-single-digit growth in Mexico. 

Operating  profit  increased  17%,  reflecting  the  net  revenue  growth  and  planned  cost  reductions  across  a 
number of expense categories, partially offset by certain operating cost increases and higher advertising and 
marketing  expenses,  as  well  as  higher  commodity  costs,  which  reduced  operating  profit  growth  by  15 
percentage  points.  Lower  restructuring  and  impairment  charges  increased  operating  profit  growth  by  4 
percentage points. Unfavorable foreign exchange reduced operating profit growth by 5 percentage points. 

Mexico  recently  imposed  a  tax  on  certain  foods  that  exceed  specified  caloric  content. These  taxes  may 
adversely affect LAF’s future financial performance. See also “Imposition of new taxes, disagreements with 
tax authorities or additional tax liabilities could adversely affect our financial performance.” in “Risk Factors” 
in Item 1A.

2012

Net revenue increased 9%, primarily reflecting effective net pricing and volume growth. Acquisitions and 
divestitures in Argentina and Brazil in the prior year contributed 2 percentage points to net revenue growth. 
Unfavorable foreign exchange reduced net revenue growth by 7 percentage points.

Volume increased 13%, primarily reflecting a mid-single-digit increase in Mexico and a slight increase in 
Brazil (excluding the impact of an acquisition).  Acquisitions contributed 9 percentage points to the volume 
growth.

Operating profit decreased 2%, driven by higher commodity costs, which negatively impacted operating 
profit performance by 17 percentage points, as well as certain operating cost increases reflecting strategic 
initiatives. These impacts were partially offset by the net revenue growth and planned cost reductions across 
a number of expense categories. The net impact of acquisitions and divestitures reduced operating profit 
growth by 3.5 percentage points, primarily as a result of a gain in the prior year associated with the sale of 
a fish business in Brazil. Unfavorable foreign exchange reduced operating profit growth by 5.5 percentage 
points.

Net revenue decreased 2%, reflecting volume declines, partially offset by favorable effective net pricing.  
Unfavorable foreign exchange negatively impacted net revenue performance by 1 percentage point.

Volume decreased 3%, primarily reflecting North America volume declines of 4%, while Latin America 
volume was even with the prior year. The North America volume performance was driven by a 5% decline 
in CSD volume and a 2% decline in non-carbonated beverage volume. The North America non-carbonated 
beverage volume decline primarily reflected a high-single-digit decline in our overall water portfolio. The 
Latin America volume performance primarily reflected a double-digit decrease in Brazil and a low-single-
digit decrease in Argentina, offset by a double-digit increase in Venezuela and a low-single-digit increase in 
Mexico.

Reported operating profit increased 1%.  Excluding the items affecting comparability in the above table (see 
“Items Affecting Comparability”), operating profit declined 2%, primarily reflecting the volume declines 
and certain operating cost increases. These impacts were partially offset by the favorable effective net pricing 
and planned cost reductions across a number of expense categories, as well as lower commodity costs, which 
increased reported operating profit by 6 percentage points. Unfavorable foreign exchange reduced operating 
profit growth by 3 percentage points. 

Mexico recently imposed a tax on sugar-sweetened beverages. These taxes may adversely affect PAB’s future 
financial performance. See also “Imposition of new taxes, disagreements with tax authorities or additional 
tax liabilities could adversely affect our financial performance.” in “Risk Factors” in Item 1A.

2012

Net revenue decreased 4.5%, primarily reflecting the divestiture of our Mexico beverage business in the 
fourth quarter of  2011, which contributed 5 percentage points to the net revenue decline. Additionally, volume 
declines were offset by favorable effective net pricing. The impact of the 53rd week in the prior year contributed 
over 1 percentage point to the net revenue decline. 

59

 
 
 
 
 
Volume decreased 2%, driven by a 4% decline in North America volume, partially offset by a 2% increase 
in Latin America volume. North America volume declines were driven by a 4% decline in CSDs and a 3% 
decline  in  non-carbonated  beverage  volumes.  The  non-carbonated  beverage  volume  decline  primarily 
reflected a double-digit decline in Tropicana brands and a low-single-digit decline in Gatorade sports drinks. 
Latin America volume growth primarily reflected mid-single-digit increases in Mexico and Brazil, partially 
offset by a high-single-digit decline in Venezuela. The impact of the 53rd week in the prior year contributed 
1 percentage point to the volume decline.   

Reported operating profit decreased 10%, primarily reflecting higher commodity costs, which negatively 
impacted operating profit performance by 12 percentage points, the volume decline and higher advertising 
and marketing expenses, partially offset by effective net pricing and planned cost reductions across a number 
of expense categories. Excluding the items affecting comparability in the above table (see “Items Affecting 
Comparability”) operating profit declined 12%. The divestiture of our Mexico beverage business in 2011 
contributed nearly 3 percentage points to the reported operating profit decline and included a one-time gain 
associated with the contribution of this business to form a joint venture with both Organizacion Cultiba SAB 
de CV, formerly Geupec, and Empresas Polar. Unfavorable foreign exchange contributed 1 percentage point 
to the operating profit decline.

Net revenue increased 2%, primarily reflecting effective net pricing and volume growth. Unfavorable foreign 
exchange reduced net revenue growth by 1 percentage point.

Snacks volume grew 3% primarily reflecting high-single-digit growth in Turkey and South Africa, partially

Beverage  volume  declined  1%,  reflecting  low-single-digit  declines  in  Turkey,  Germany  and  in  Russia,

Operating  profit  declined  3%,  primarily  driven  by  certain  operating  cost  increases  reflecting  strategic 
initiatives, as well as higher commodity costs, primarily milk, which negatively impacted operating profit 
performance by 15 percentage points,  partially offset by the net revenue growth and planned cost reductions 
across a number of expense categories. Incremental investments in our business negatively impacted operating 
profit performance by 2 percentage points, which was substantially offset by the impact of lapping prior year 
impairment charges, which positively contributed nearly 2 percentage points to operating profit performance. 
The  impact  of  items  affecting  comparability  in  the  above  table  (see  “Items Affecting  Comparability”) 
negatively impacted operating profit performance by 1.5 percentage points. 

2012

Net revenue decreased 1%, primarily reflecting unfavorable foreign exchange, which reduced net revenue 
growth by 7 percentage points, partially offset by effective net pricing.  Our acquisition of WBD positively 
contributed 2 percentage points to the net revenue performance.

Snacks volume grew 3%, mainly due to our acquisition of WBD, which contributed 2 percentage points to 
volume growth and declined slightly for the comparable post-acquisition period. Double-digit growth in 
Russia (ex-WBD) and mid-single-digit growth in South Africa were partially offset by a mid-single-digit 
decline in Poland.  Additionally, the United Kingdom was flat.  

Beverage  volume  increased  1%,  primarily  reflecting  our  acquisition  of WBD,  which  contributed  over  1 
percentage point to volume growth and increased at a low-single-digit rate for the comparable post-acquisition 
period. Volume growth also reflected mid-single-digit growth in Turkey and low-single-digit growth in Russia 
(ex-WBD) and the United Kingdom. These increases were partially offset by a high-single-digit decline in 
Poland and a low-single-digit decline in Germany.

Operating profit increased 10%, primarily reflecting the items affecting comparability in the above table (see 
“Items Affecting Comparability”).  Excluding these items affecting comparability, operating profit declined 
3%, driven by higher commodity costs and unfavorable foreign exchange, which reduced reported operating 
profit performance by 17 percentage points and 6 percentage points, respectively, as well as certain operating 
cost increases reflecting strategic initiatives. These impacts were partially offset by the effective net pricing 
and planned cost reductions across a number of expense categories. Additionally, certain impairment charges 
primarily associated with our operations in Greece reduced reported operating profit growth by 2 percentage 
points.

Net revenue declined 2%, reflecting the impact of the prior year transaction with Tingyi and the Vietnam 
beverage refranchising, which negatively impacted net revenue performance by 5.5 percentage points and 
4 percentage points, respectively. The prior year deconsolidation of International Dairy and Juice Limited 
(IDJ) had a slight negative impact on net revenue performance. These impacts were offset by favorable 
effective net pricing and volume growth. Unfavorable foreign exchange negatively impacted net revenue 
performance by 4 percentage points.

Snacks volume grew 7%, reflecting double-digit growth in China and high-single-digit growth in Thailand 
and the Middle East, partially offset by a mid-single-digit decline in Australia. Additionally, India experienced 
mid-single-digit growth. 

Beverage volume grew 12%, driven by double-digit growth in China (including the co-branded juice products 
distributed through our strategic alliance with Tingyi) and Pakistan, partially offset by a double-digit decline 
in Thailand. Additionally, the Middle East experienced low-single-digit growth and India experienced slight 
growth.

Operating profit grew 57%, reflecting the impact of lapping restructuring and other charges related to the 
prior year transaction with Tingyi included in the above table (see “Items Affecting Comparability”) and a 
one-time gain of $137 million associated with the Vietnam beverage refranchising (which contributed 18 
percentage points to reported operating profit growth). Excluding items affecting comparability, operating 
profit grew 30%, reflecting the one-time gain associated with the Vietnam beverage refranchising (which 
contributed  15  percentage  points  to  operating  profit  growth  excluding  items  affecting  comparability). 
Operating  profit  performance  also  reflected  the  effective  net  pricing,  volume  growth  and  planned  cost 
reductions across a number of expense categories, partially offset by certain operating cost increases reflecting 
strategic initiatives, higher advertising and marketing expenses, as well as higher commodity costs, which 
reduced operating profit growth by 5 percentage points. The impact of incremental investments in our business 
reduced operating profit growth by 7 percentage points.

2012

Net revenue declined 10%, reflecting the impact of the transaction with Tingyi and the deconsolidation of 
IDJ, which reduced net revenue performance by 15 percentage points and 2 percentage points, respectively, 
partially  offset  by  volume  growth  and  effective  net  pricing.  Unfavorable  foreign  exchange  negatively 
impacted net revenue performance by nearly 3 percentage points.

Snacks  volume  grew  14%,  reflecting  broad-based  increases,  which  included  double-digit  growth  in  the 
Middle East, India and China.  Additionally, Australia experienced low-single-digit growth. 

Beverage volume grew 10%, driven by double-digit growth in India and Pakistan and high-single-digit growth 
in the Middle East as well as in China, which included the benefit of new co-branded juice products distributed 
through our joint venture with Tingyi. The Tingyi co-branded volume had a 4-percentage-point impact on 
AMEA’s reported beverage volume. Excluding the benefit of the Tingyi co-branded volume, beverage volume 
in China declined high-single digits due to Tingyi’s transitional impact on AMEA’s legacy juice business, 
the introduction of a 500ml PET value package in the third quarter of 2011, which largely replaced our 600ml 
offering in the market, and the timing of the New Year’s holiday.  

Operating profit declined 16%, driven by the items affecting comparability in the above table (see “Items 
Affecting Comparability”). Excluding these items affecting comparability, operating profit increased 3%, 
reflecting the volume growth and effective net pricing, partially offset by higher commodity costs, which 
negatively impacted operating profit performance by 10 percentage points. Excluding the restructuring and 
other charges related to the transaction with Tingyi listed in the above items affecting comparability, the net 
impact of acquisitions and divestitures reduced reported operating profit by 2 percentage points, primarily 
as a result of a one-time gain in the prior year associated with the sale of our investment in our franchise 
bottler in Thailand, which negatively impacted reported operating profit performance by 13 percentage points.  
This decline was partially offset by the impact of structural changes related to the transaction with Tingyi, 
which positively contributed 11 percentage points to reported operating profit performance. Unfavorable 
foreign exchange reduced reported operating profit performance by 1 percentage point.

Our Liquidity and Capital Resources

We believe that our cash generating capability and financial condition, together with our revolving credit 
facilities and other available methods of debt financing (including long-term debt financing which, depending 
upon  market  conditions,  we  may  use  to  replace  a  portion  of  our  commercial  paper  borrowings),  will be 
adequate to meet our operating, investing and financing needs. Sources of cash available to us to fund cash 
outflows, such as our anticipated share repurchases and dividend payments, include cash from operations 
and proceeds obtained in the U.S. debt markets. However, there can be no assurance that volatility in the 
global credit markets will not impair our ability to access these markets on terms commercially acceptable 
to us, or at all. See Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements for a description of our credit facilities. 
See also “Unfavorable economic conditions may have an adverse impact on our business results or financial 
condition.” in “Risk Factors” in Item 1A.

As of December 28, 2013, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $8.4 billion outside 
the U.S.  To the extent foreign earnings are repatriated, such amounts would be subject to income tax liabilities, 
both in the U.S. and in various applicable foreign jurisdictions. In addition, currency restrictions enacted by 
the government in Venezuela have impacted our ability to pay dividends outside of the country from our 
snack and beverage operations in Venezuela. Effective February 2013, the Venezuelan government devalued 
the bolivar by resetting the official exchange rate from 4.3 bolivars per dollar to 6.3 bolivars per dollar. As 
of  December  28,  2013  and  December  29,  2012  our  operations  in  Venezuela  comprised  5%  and  7%, 
respectively,  of  our  cash  and  cash  equivalents  balance.  For  additional  information  on  the  impact  of  the 

63

devaluation,  see  “Market  Risks  -  Foreign  Exchange”  in  “Our  Business  Risks”  and  “Items  Affecting 
Comparability.”

Furthermore, 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. On a continuing basis, we consider 
various transactions to increase shareholder value and enhance our business results, including acquisitions, 
divestitures, joint ventures, share repurchases and other structural changes. These transactions may result in 
future cash proceeds or payments.

The table below summarizes our cash activity: 

Net cash provided by operating activities
Net cash used for investing activities
Net cash used for financing activities

$ (2,625) $ (3,005) $ (5,618)
$ (3,789) $ (3,306) $ (5,135)

During 2013, net cash provided by operating activities was $9.7 billion, compared to $8.5 billion in the prior 
year. The operating cash flow performance primarily reflects the overlap of discretionary pension and retiree 
medical contributions of $1.5 billion ($1.1 billion after-tax) made in the prior year, higher restructuring and 
Tingyi payments in the prior year and favorable working capital comparisons to 2012. These impacts were 
partially  offset  by  U.S.  federal  net  cash  tax  payments  of  $758  million,  including  interest,  related  to  an 
agreement with the IRS resolving all open matters related to the audits for taxable years 2003 through 2009 
and $226 million of cash payments for other Federal, state and local tax matters related to open tax years. 
See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements. 

During 2012, net cash provided by operating activities was $8.5 billion, compared to $8.9 billion in the prior 
year.  The  operating  cash  flow  performance  primarily  reflects  discretionary  pension  and  retiree  medical 
contributions of $1.5 billion ($1.1 billion after-tax) in 2012, partially offset by favorable working capital 
comparisons to 2011.

Also see “Free Cash Flow” below for certain other items impacting net cash provided by operating activities.

Investing Activities

During 2013, net cash used for investing activities was $2.6 billion, primarily reflecting $2.7 billion for net 
capital spending.

During 2012, net cash used for investing activities was $3.0 billion, primarily reflecting $2.6 billion for net 
capital spending and $0.3 billion of cash payments related to the transaction with Tingyi.

We expect 2014 net capital spending to be approximately $3.0 billion, within our long-term capital spending 
target of less than or equal to 5% of net revenue.

Financing Activities

During 2013, net cash used for financing activities was $3.8 billion, primarily reflecting the return of operating 
cash flow to our shareholders through dividend payments and share repurchases of $6.4 billion, partially 
offset by net  proceeds from short-term borrowings of $1.2 billion, stock option proceeds of $1.1 billion and 
net proceeds from long-term debt of $0.3 billion.

During 2012, net cash used for financing activities was $3.3 billion, primarily reflecting the return of operating 
cash flow to our shareholders through dividend payments and share repurchases of $6.5 billion as well as 

64

net repayments of short-term borrowings of $1.5 billion, partially offset by net proceeds from long-term debt 
of $3.6 billion and stock option proceeds of $1.1 billion.

We annually review our capital structure with our Board of Directors, including our dividend policy and 
share repurchase activity. In the first quarter of 2013, we approved a new share repurchase program providing 
for the repurchase of up to $10 billion of PepsiCo common stock from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2016, 
which succeeded the repurchase program that expired on June 30, 2013. In addition, on February 13, 2014, 
we announced a 15% increase in our annualized dividend to $2.62 per share from $2.27 per share, effective 
with the dividend that is expected to be paid in June 2014. Under these programs, we expect to return a total 
of $8.7 billion to shareholders in 2014 through dividends of approximately $3.7 billion and share repurchases 
of approximately $5 billion.

Free Cash Flow

We focus on free cash flow, which we also refer to as management operating cash flow, as an important 
element in evaluating our performance. Since net capital spending is essential to our product innovation 
initiatives and maintaining our operational capabilities, we believe that it is a recurring and necessary use of 
cash. As such, we believe investors should also consider net capital spending when evaluating our cash from 
operating activities. Additionally, we consider certain items (included in the table below) in evaluating free 
cash flow. We believe investors should consider these items in evaluating our free cash flow results. Free 
cash flow excluding certain items is the primary measure we use to monitor cash flow performance. However, 
it is not a measure provided by U.S. GAAP. Therefore, this measure is not, and should not be viewed as, a 
substitute for U.S. GAAP cash flow measures.

The table below reconciles net cash provided by operating activities, as reflected in our cash flow statement, 
to our free cash flow excluding the impact of the items below.

In all years presented, free cash flow was used primarily to repurchase shares and pay dividends. We expect 
to  continue  to  return  free  cash  flow  to  our  shareholders  through  dividends  and  share  repurchases  while 
maintaining Tier 1 commercial paper access which we believe will ensure appropriate financial flexibility 
and ready access to global credit markets at favorable interest rates. However, see “Our borrowing costs and 
access to capital and credit markets may be adversely affected by a downgrade or potential downgrade of 
our credit ratings.” in “Risk Factors” in Item 1A. and “Our Business Risks” for certain factors that may 
impact our credit ratings or our operating cash flows.

65

Any downgrade of our credit ratings by a credit rating agency, especially any downgrade to below investment 
grade, whether as a result of our actions or factors which are beyond our control, could increase our future 
borrowing costs and impair our ability to access capital and credit markets on terms commercially acceptable 
to us, or at all. In addition, any downgrade of our current short-term credit ratings could impair our ability 
to access the commercial paper market with the same flexibility that we have experienced historically, and 
therefore require us to rely more heavily on more expensive types of debt financing. See “Our Business 
Risks”, Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements and “Our borrowing costs and access to capital and 
credit markets may be adversely affected by a downgrade or potential downgrade of our credit ratings.” in 
“Risk Factors” in Item 1A.

Credit Facilities and Long-Term Contractual Commitments

See Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements 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 business. Additionally, we do not enter into off-balance-sheet transactions specifically structured to provide 
income or tax benefits or to avoid recognizing or disclosing assets or liabilities. See Note 9 to our consolidated 
financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation and Our Divisions

Basis of Presentation

Our financial statements include the consolidated accounts of PepsiCo, Inc. and the affiliates that we control. 
In addition, we include our share of the results of certain other affiliates using the equity method based on 
our economic ownership interest, our ability to exercise significant influence over the operating or financial 
decisions of these affiliates or our ability to direct their economic resources. We do not control these other 
affiliates, as our ownership in these other affiliates is generally 50% or less. Intercompany balances and 
transactions are eliminated. Our fiscal year ends on the last Saturday of each December, resulting in an 
additional week of results every five or six years. In 2011, we had an additional week of results (53rd week).

The results of our Venezuelan businesses have been reported under highly inflationary accounting since the 
beginning  of  2010.  See  further  unaudited  information  in  “Our  Business  Risks”,  “Items  Affecting 
Comparability” and “Our Liquidity and Capital Resources” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of 
Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

In the first quarter of 2011, QFNA changed its method of accounting for certain U.S. inventories from the 
last-in, first-out (LIFO) method to the average cost method as we believe that the average cost method of 
accounting improves our financial reporting by better matching revenues and expenses and better reflecting 
the current value of inventory. The impact of this change on consolidated net income in the first quarter of 
2011 was approximately $9 million (or less than a penny per share). 

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  finished  product  are  included  in  selling,  general  and 
administrative expenses.

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting 
principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, 
revenues, expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Estimates are used in determining, 
among other items, sales incentives accruals, tax reserves, stock-based compensation, pension and retiree 
medical  accruals,  amounts  and  useful  lives  for  intangible  assets,  and  future  cash  flows  associated  with 
impairment testing for perpetual brands, goodwill and other long-lived assets. We evaluate our estimates on 
an ongoing basis using our historical experience, as well as other factors we believe appropriate under the 
circumstances, such as current economic conditions, and adjust or revise our estimates as circumstances 
change. As future events and their effect cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ 
significantly from these estimates.

While our United States and Canada (North America) results are reported on a weekly calendar basis, most 
of our international operations report on a monthly calendar basis. The following chart details our quarterly 
reporting schedule for all reporting periods presented except for 2011 as noted above:

of  our  consolidated  results,  see  further  unaudited  information  in  “Items  Affecting  Comparability”  in 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Tabular dollars are in millions, except per share amounts. All per share amounts reflect common per share 
amounts, assume dilution unless noted, and are based on unrounded amounts. 

Our Divisions

Through our operations, authorized bottlers, contract manufacturers and third parties, we make, market, sell 
and distribute a wide variety of convenient and enjoyable foods and beverages, serving customers in more 
than 200 countries and territories with our largest operations in North America, Russia, Mexico, the United 
Kingdom and Brazil. Division results are based on how our Chief Executive Officer 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 of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. 
The accounting policies for the divisions are the same as those described in Note 2, except for the following 
allocation methodologies:

stock-based compensation expense;
• 
•  pension and retiree medical expense; and
•  derivatives.

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 2013 was approximately 16% to FLNA, 2% to QFNA, 5% to LAF, 24% to PAB, 
13% to Europe, 12% to AMEA and 28% to corporate unallocated expenses. We had similar allocations of 
stock-based compensation expense to our divisions in 2012 and 2011. The expense allocated to our divisions 
excludes any impact of changes in our assumptions during the year which reflect market conditions over 
which division management has no control. Therefore, any variances between allocated expense and our 
actual expense are recognized in corporate unallocated expenses.

Pension and Retiree Medical Expense

Pension and retiree medical service costs measured at a fixed discount rate, as well as amortization of costs 
related  to  certain  pension  plan  amendments  and  gains  and  losses  due  to  demographics,  including  salary 
experience, are reflected in division results for North American employees. Division results also include 
interest costs, measured at a fixed 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 reflected in corporate unallocated expenses. In addition, corporate unallocated expenses 
include the difference between the service costs measured at a fixed discount rate (included in division results 
as noted above) and the total service costs determined using the plans’ discount rates as disclosed in Note 7 
to our consolidated financial statements.

Derivatives

We centrally manage commodity derivatives on behalf of our divisions. These commodity derivatives include 
agricultural products, energy and metals. Certain of these commodity derivatives do not qualify for hedge 
accounting treatment and are marked to market with the resulting gains and losses recorded in corporate 
unallocated expenses as either cost of sales or selling, general and administrative expenses, depending on 
the underlying commodity. These gains and losses are subsequently reflected in division results when the 
divisions recognize the cost of the underlying commodity in net income. Therefore, the divisions realize the 
economic  effects  of  the  derivative  without  experiencing  any  resulting  mark-to-market  volatility,  which 
74

remains in corporate unallocated expenses. These derivatives hedge underlying commodity price risk and 
were not entered into for trading or speculative purposes.

Note 2 — Our Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue upon shipment or delivery to our customers based on written sales terms that do not 
allow for a right of return. However, our policy for DSD and certain 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  certain  warehouse-distributed  products  is  to  replace 
damaged  and  out-of-date  products.  Based  on  our  experience  with  this  practice,  we  have  reserved  for 
anticipated  damaged  and  out-of-date  products.  For  additional  unaudited  information  on  our  revenue 
recognition and related policies, including our policy on bad debts, see “Our Critical Accounting Policies” 
in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. We are exposed 
to concentration of credit risk from our customers, including Wal-Mart. In 2013, Wal-Mart (including Sam’s) 
represented  approximately  11%  of  our  total  net  revenue,  including  concentrate  sales  to  our  independent 
bottlers which are used in finished goods sold by them to Wal-Mart. We have not experienced credit issues 
with these customers.

Total Marketplace Spending

We  offer  sales  incentives  and  discounts  through  various  programs  to  customers  and  consumers.  Total 
marketplace spending includes sales incentives, discounts, advertising and other marketing activities. Sales 
incentives and discounts are primarily accounted for as a reduction of revenue and totaled $34.7 billion in 
2013 and 2012, and $34.6 billion in 2011. Sales incentives and discounts include payments to customers for 
performing merchandising activities on our behalf, such as payments for in-store displays, payments to gain 
77

 
 
 
distribution of new products, payments for shelf space and discounts to promote lower retail prices. It also 
includes support provided to our independent bottlers through funding of advertising and other marketing 
activities.  While  most  of  these  incentive  arrangements  have  terms  of  no  more  than  one  year,  certain 
arrangements, such as fountain pouring rights, may extend beyond one year. Costs incurred to obtain these 
arrangements are recognized over the shorter of the economic or contractual life, primarily as a reduction of 
revenue,  and  the  remaining  balances  of  $410  million  as  of  December  28,  2013  and  $335  million  as  of 
December 29, 2012, are included in prepaid expenses and other 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 of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Advertising and other marketing activities, reported as selling, general and administrative expenses, totaled 
$3.9 billion in 2013, $3.7 billion in 2012 and $3.5 billion in 2011, including advertising expenses of $2.4 
billion in 2013, $2.2 billion in 2012 and $1.9 billion in 2011. Deferred advertising costs are not expensed 
until the year first used and consist of:

•  media and personal service prepayments;
•  promotional materials in inventory; and
•  production costs of future media advertising.

Deferred advertising costs of $68 million and $88 million as of December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, 
respectively, are classified 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 administrative expenses. Shipping and handling expenses were $9.4 billion in 2013, $9.1 billion in 2012 
and $9.2 billion in 2011.

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Software Costs

We  capitalize  certain  computer  software  and  software  development  costs  incurred  in  connection  with 
developing  or  obtaining  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 obtaining computer software, 
(ii) compensation and related benefits 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 5 to 10 years. 
Software amortization totaled $197 million in 2013, $196 million in 2012 and $156 million in 2011. Net 
capitalized software and development costs were $1.1 billion as of December 28, 2013 and December 29, 
2012.

Commitments and Contingencies

We  are  subject  to  various  claims  and  contingencies  related  to  lawsuits,  certain  taxes  and  environmental 
matters, as well as commitments under contractual and other commercial obligations. We recognize liabilities 
for contingencies and commitments when a loss is probable and estimable. For additional information on 
our commitments, see Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements.

78

Research and Development
We engage in a variety of research and development activities and continue to invest to accelerate growth 
in these activities and to drive innovation globally. These activities principally involve production, processing 
and packaging and include: development of new ingredients and products; reformulation of existing products; 
improvement in the quality of existing products; improvement and modernization of manufacturing processes; 
improvements in product quality, safety and integrity; improvements in packaging technology; improvements 
in dispensing equipment; development and implementation of new technologies to enhance the quality and 
value of current and proposed product lines; efforts focused on identifying opportunities to transform and 
grow our product portfolio, including the development of sweetener and flavor innovation and recipes that 
reduce  sodium  levels  in  certain  of  our  products.  Consumer  research  is  excluded  from  research  and 
development costs and included in other marketing costs. Research and development costs were $665 million 
in  2013,  $552  million  in  2012  and  $525  million  in  2011  and  are  reported  within  selling,  general  and 
administrative expenses.

Other Significant Accounting Policies

Our other significant accounting policies are disclosed as follows:

•  Property,  Plant  and  Equipment  and  Intangible  Assets  –  Note  4,  and  for  additional  unaudited 
information  on  goodwill  and  other  intangible  assets  see  “Our  Critical Accounting  Policies”  in 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Income  Taxes  –  Note  5,  and  for  additional  unaudited  information  see  “Our  Critical Accounting 
Policies”  in  Management’s  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and  Results  of 
Operations.

• 

•  Stock-Based Compensation – Note 6.
•  Pension, Retiree Medical and Savings Plans – Note 7, and for additional unaudited information see 
“Our Critical Accounting Policies” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition 
and Results of Operations.

•  Financial Instruments – Note 10, and for additional unaudited information, see “Our Business Risks” 
in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Inventories – Note 14. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using 
the average; first-in, first-out (FIFO) or last-in, first-out (LIFO) methods. 

• 

•  Translation  of  Financial  Statements  of  Foreign  Subsidiaries  –  Financial  statements  of  foreign 
subsidiaries 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 component of accumulated other comprehensive loss 
within common shareholders’ equity as currency translation adjustment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new accounting guidance that requires 
an entity to net its liability for unrecognized tax positions against a net operating loss carryforward, a similar 
tax loss or a tax credit carryforward when settlement in this manner is available under the tax law. The 
provisions of this new guidance are effective as of the beginning of our 2014 fiscal year. We do not expect 
the adoption of this new guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements. 

In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance that requires an entity to disclose information showing the 
effect of the items reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income on the line items of net income. 
The provisions of this new guidance were effective prospectively as of the beginning of our 2013 fiscal year. 
Accordingly, we included enhanced footnote disclosure for the year ended December 28, 2013 in Note 13.

In July 2012, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that permits an entity to first assess qualitative 
factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as 
a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. An entity would 
continue to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset if the asset fails the qualitative 
assessment, while no further analysis would be required if it passes. The provisions of the new guidance 
were effective for, and had no impact on, our 2013 annual indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test 
results. 

In  December  2011,  the  FASB  issued  new  disclosure  requirements  that  are  intended  to  enhance  current 
disclosures on offsetting financial assets and liabilities. The new disclosures require an entity to disclose 
both gross and net information about derivative instruments accounted for in accordance with the guidance 
on derivatives and hedging that are eligible for offset on the balance sheet and instruments and transactions 
subject  to  an  agreement  similar  to  a  master  netting  arrangement.  The  provisions  of  the  new  disclosure 
requirements are effective as of the beginning of our 2014 fiscal year. We do not expect the adoption of this 
new guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements. 

Note 3 — Restructuring, Impairment and Integration Charges

2014 Productivity Plan

The  2014  Productivity  Plan  includes  the  next  generation  of  productivity  initiatives  that  we  believe  will 
strengthen  our  food,  snack  and  beverage  businesses  by  accelerating  our  investment  in  manufacturing 
automation; further optimizing our global manufacturing footprint, including closing certain manufacturing 
facilities; re-engineering our go-to-market systems in developed markets; expanding shared services; and 
implementing simplified organization structures to drive efficiency. The 2014 Productivity Plan is in addition 
to the productivity plan we began implementing in 2012 and is expected to continue the benefits of that plan. 

In  2013,  we  incurred  restructuring  charges  of  $53  million  ($39  million  after-tax  or  $0.02  per  share)  in 
conjunction with our 2014 Productivity Plan. All of these charges were recorded in selling, general and 
administrative expenses and primarily relate to severance and other employee related costs. Substantially all 
of the restructuring accrual at December 28, 2013 is expected to be paid by the end of 2014.

The 2012 Productivity Plan includes actions in every aspect of our business that we believe will strengthen 
our  complementary  food,  snack  and  beverage  businesses  by  leveraging  new  technologies  and  processes 
across PepsiCo’s operations, go-to-market and information systems; heightening the focus on best practice 
sharing across the globe; consolidating manufacturing, warehouse and sales facilities; and implementing 
simplified organization structures, with wider spans of control and fewer layers of management. The 2012 
Productivity Plan continues to enhance PepsiCo’s cost-competitiveness and provide a source of funding for 
future brand-building and innovation initiatives.

In 2013, we incurred restructuring charges of $110 million ($90 million after-tax or $0.06 per share) in 
conjunction with our 2012 Productivity Plan. In 2012 and 2011, we incurred restructuring charges of $279 
million ($215 million after-tax or $0.14 per share) and $383 million ($286 million after-tax or $0.18 per 
share) in conjunction with our 2012 Productivity Plan, respectively. All of these charges were recorded in 
selling, general and administrative expenses and primarily relate to severance and other employee related 
costs, asset impairments, and consulting and contract termination costs. Substantially all of the restructuring 
accrual at December 28, 2013 is expected to be paid by the end of 2014.

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

84

Nonamortizable Intangible Assets

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 flows, an impairment loss is 
recognized in an amount equal to that excess. We did not recognize any impairment charges for goodwill in 
the years presented. We recorded impairment charges on certain brands in Europe of $23 million and $14 
million  in  2012  and  2011,  respectively.  For  additional  unaudited  information  on  our  policies  for 
nonamortizable intangible assets, see “Our Critical Accounting Policies” in Management’s Discussion and 
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

In the second quarter of 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) was signed into law. 
The PPACA changes the tax treatment related to an existing retiree drug subsidy (RDS) available to sponsors 
of retiree health benefit plans that provide a benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to the benefits under 
Medicare Part D. As a result of the PPACA, RDS payments became taxable in tax years beginning in 2013, 
by requiring the amount of the subsidy received to be offset against our deduction for health care expenses. 
The provisions of the PPACA required us to record the effect of this tax law change beginning in our second 
quarter of 2010, and consequently we recorded a one-time related tax charge of  $41 million in the second 
quarter of 2010. In the first quarter of 2012, we began pre-paying funds within our  401(h) accounts intended 
to fully cover prescription drug benefit liabilities for Medicare eligible retirees. As a result, the receipt of 

87

future Medicare subsidy payments for prescription drugs will not be taxable and consequently we recorded 
a $55 million tax benefit reflecting this change in the first quarter of 2012.

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

Reserves

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

Jurisdiction

United Kingdom
Canada (Domestic)

Russia

While it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of resolution of any particular tax matter, 
we  believe  that  our  reserves  reflect  the  probable  outcome  of  known  tax  contingencies. We  adjust  these 
reserves,  as  well  as  the  related  interest,  in  light  of  changing  facts  and  circumstances.  Settlement  of  any 
particular issue would usually require the use of cash. Favorable resolution would be recognized as a reduction 
to our annual tax rate in the year of resolution. For further unaudited information on the impact of the resolution 
of open tax issues, see “Other Consolidated Results” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial 
Condition and Results of Operations.

In the fourth quarter of 2013, we reached an agreement with the IRS resolving all open matters related to 
the audits for taxable years 2003 through 2009.  As a result, we made U.S. Federal net cash tax payments of 
$758 million, including interest. The settlement reduced our 2013 net cash provided by operating activities 
and our reserves for uncertain tax positions for the tax years 2003 through 2012 and resulted in a non-cash 
tax benefit of $209 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. In addition, payments for other U.S. Federal, state 
and local tax matters related to open tax years totaling $226 million were made in 2013. In 2012, we received 
a favorable tax court decision related to the classification of financial instruments resulting in a non-cash tax 
benefit of $217 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. See additional unaudited information in “Items Affecting 
Comparability” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

As of December 28, 2013, the total gross amount of reserves for income taxes, reported in income taxes 
payable and other liabilities, was $1,268 million. We accrue interest related to reserves for income taxes in 
our provision 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  $164  million  as  of 
December 28, 2013, of which $36 million of expense was recognized in 2013.  The gross amount of interest 
accrued, reported in other liabilities, was $670 million as of December 29, 2012, of which $10 million of 
benefit was recognized in 2012.

Operating loss carryforwards totaling $11.1 billion at year-end 2013 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: $0.1 billion in 2014, $10.4 billion 
between  2015  and  2033  and  $0.6  billion  may  be  carried  forward  indefinitely.  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.

Undistributed International Earnings

As of December 28, 2013, we had approximately $34.1 billion of undistributed international earnings. We 
intend to continue to reinvest earnings outside the U.S. for the foreseeable future and, therefore, have not 
recognized any U.S. tax expense on these earnings. It is not practicable for us to determine the amount of 
unrecognized U.S. tax expense on these reinvested international earnings.

Note 6 — Stock-Based Compensation

Our  stock-based  compensation  program  is  designed  to  attract  and  retain  employees  while  also  aligning 
employees’ interests with the interests of our shareholders. Stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs) and 
PepsiCo equity performance units (PEPUnits) are granted to employees under the shareholder-approved 
2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP). Starting in 2012, certain executive officers were granted PEPUnits. 
These PEPUnits are earned based on achievement of a cumulative net income performance target and provide 
an opportunity to earn shares of PepsiCo common stock with a value that adjusts based upon absolute changes 
in PepsiCo’s stock price as well as PepsiCo’s Total Shareholder Return relative to the S&P 500 over a three-
year performance period.

The Company may use authorized and unissued shares to meet share requirements resulting from the exercise 
of stock options and the vesting of restricted stock awards. 

As of December 28, 2013, 110 million shares were available for future stock-based compensation grants.

We account for our employee stock options under the fair value method of accounting using a Black-Scholes 
valuation model to measure stock option expense at the date of grant.  In addition, we use the Monte-Carlo 
simulation  option-pricing  model  to  determine  the  fair  value  of  market-based  awards.  The  Monte-Carlo 
simulation option-pricing model uses the same input assumptions as the Black-Scholes model; however, it 
also further incorporates into the fair-value determination the possibility that the market condition may not 
be satisfied. Compensation costs related to awards with a market-based condition are recognized regardless 
of whether the market condition is satisfied, provided that the requisite service has been provided. 

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. We do not backdate, reprice or grant stock-based compensation 
awards retroactively. Repricing of awards would require shareholder approval under the LTIP.

The fair value of stock option grants is amortized to expense over the vesting period, generally three years.  
Awards to employees eligible for retirement prior to the award becoming fully vested are amortized to expense 
over the period through the date that the employee first becomes eligible to retire and is no longer required 
to  provide  service  to  earn  the  award.  Executives  who  are  awarded  long-term  incentives  based  on  their 
performance may generally elect to receive their grant in the form of stock options or RSUs, or a combination 
thereof. Executives who elect RSUs receive one RSU for every four stock options that would have otherwise 
been granted. Certain senior executives do not have a choice and are granted 50% stock options and 50% 
performance-based  RSUs.  Beginning  in  2012,  certain  executive  officers  and  other  senior  executives  are 
granted a combination of 60% PEPUnits measuring absolute and relative stock performance and 40% long-
term cash based on achievement of specific operating metrics.  

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

Expected life
Risk-free interest rate
Expected volatility
Expected dividend yield

2013
6 years
1.1%
17%
2.7%

2012
6 years
1.3%
17%
3.0%

2011
6 years
2.5%
16%
2.9%

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

As of December 28, 2013, there were approximately 290,000 outstanding awards, consisting primarily of 
phantom stock units that were granted under the PepsiCo Director Deferral Program and will be settled in 
shares of PepsiCo Common Stock pursuant to the LTIP at the end of the applicable deferral period, not 
included in the tables above.

As  of  December 28,  2013,  there  was  $373  million  of  total  unrecognized  compensation  cost  related  to 
nonvested share-based compensation grants. This unrecognized compensation is expected to be recognized 
over a weighted-average period of two years.

Note 7 — Pension, Retiree Medical and Savings Plans

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

Gains and losses resulting from actual experience differing from our assumptions, including the difference 
between the actual return on plan assets and the expected return on plan assets, and from changes in our 
assumptions are determined at each measurement date. If this net accumulated gain or loss exceeds 10% of 
the greater of the market-related value of plan assets or plan liabilities, a portion of the net gain or loss is 
included in expense for the following year based upon the average remaining service period of active plan 
participants, which is approximately 11 years for pension expense and approximately 9 years for retiree 
medical expense. The cost or benefit of plan changes that increase or decrease benefits for prior employee 
service (prior service cost/(credit)) is included in earnings on a straight-line basis over the average remaining 
service period of active plan participants.

In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company offered certain former employees who had vested benefits in our 
defined benefit pension plans the option of receiving a one-time lump sum payment equal to the present 
value of the participant’s pension benefit (payable in cash or rolled over into a qualified retirement plan or 
IRA). In December 2012, we made a discretionary contribution of $405 million to fund substantially all of 
these payments. The Company recorded a pre-tax non-cash settlement charge of $195 million ($131 million 

92

after-tax or $0.08 per share) as a result of this transaction. See additional unaudited information in “Items 
Affecting Comparability” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of 
Operations.

The provisions of both the PPACA and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act are reflected in 
our retiree medical expenses and liabilities and were not material to our financial statements.

(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 $15 million for each of the years from 2014 through 2018 and approximately 
$85 million in total for 2019 through 2023.

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

In 2014, we expect to make pension and retiree medical contributions of approximately $260 million, with 
approximately $70 million for retiree medical benefits.

Plan Assets

Pension

Our  pension  plan  investment  strategy  includes  the  use  of  actively  managed  securities  and  is  reviewed 
periodically in conjunction with plan liabilities, an evaluation of market conditions, tolerance for risk and 
cash requirements for benefit payments. Our investment objective is to ensure that funds are available to 
meet the plans’ benefit obligations when they become due. Our overall investment strategy is to prudently 
invest plan assets in a well-diversified portfolio of equity and high-quality debt securities and real estate to 
achieve  our  long-term  return  expectations.  Our  investment  policy  also  permits  the  use  of  derivative 
instruments which are primarily used to reduce risk. Our expected long-term rate of return on U.S. plan assets 
is 7.5% for 2014 and 7.8% for 2013. Our target investment allocations are as follows:

Fixed income
U.S. equity
International equity
Real estate

2014
40%
33%
22%
5%

2013
40%
33%
22%
5%

Actual investment allocations may vary from our target investment allocations due to prevailing market 
conditions. We regularly review our actual investment allocations and periodically rebalance our investments 
to our target allocations.

The  expected  return  on  pension  plan  assets  is  based  on  our  pension  plan  investment  strategy  and  our 
expectations for long-term rates of return by asset class, taking into account volatility and correlation among 
asset classes and our historical experience. We also review current levels of interest rates and inflation to 
assess the reasonableness of the long-term rates. We evaluate our expected return assumptions annually to 
ensure that they are reasonable. To calculate the expected return on pension plan assets, our market-related 
value of assets for fixed income is the actual fair value. For all other asset categories, we use a method that 
recognizes investment gains or losses (the difference between the expected and actual return based on the 
market-related value of assets) over a five-year period. This has the effect of reducing year-to-year volatility.

Our pension contributions were $200 million, $1,614 million and $239 million for 2013, 2012 and 2011, 
respectively,  of  which  $23  million,  $1,375  million  and  $61  million,  respectively,  was  discretionary. 
Discretionary contributions for 2012 included $405 million pertaining to pension lump sum payments.

Retiree Medical

In 2013, 2012 and 2011, we made non-discretionary contributions of $62 million, $111 million and $110 
million,  respectively,  to  fund  the  payment  of  retiree  medical  claims.  In  2012,  we  made  a  discretionary 
contribution of $140 million to fund future U.S. retiree medical plan benefits. This contribution was invested 
consistent with the allocation of existing assets in the U.S. pension plan.

Fair Value

The guidance on fair value measurements defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair 
value  and  expands  disclosures  about  fair  value  measurements.  The  fair  value  framework  requires  the 
categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the 
assets. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant 
management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:

•  Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

•  Level 2: Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1. For example, quoted prices for 

similar assets in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets in inactive markets.

•  Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset.

97

Retiree Medical Cost Trend Rates

An average increase of 6% in the cost of covered retiree medical benefits is assumed for 2014. This average 
increase is then projected to decline gradually to 5% in 2020 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. In addition, as of January 1, 2011, the Company started phasing out 
Company subsidies of retiree medical benefits. A 1-percentage-point change in the assumed health care trend 
rate would have the following effects:

2013 service and interest cost components

Certain  U.S.  employees  are  eligible  to  participate  in  401(k)  savings  plans,  which  are  voluntary  defined 
contribution plans. The plans are designed to help employees accumulate additional savings for retirement, 
and we make Company matching contributions on a portion of eligible pay based on years of service.

As of February 2012, certain U.S. employees earning a benefit under one of our defined benefit pension 
plans were no longer eligible for the Company matching contributions on their 401(k) contributions.

Certain U.S. salaried employees, who are not eligible to participate in a defined benefit pension plan, are 
also eligible to receive an employer contribution to the 401(k) savings plan based on age and years of service 
regardless of employee contribution.

In 2013, 2012 and 2011, our total Company contributions were $122 million, $109 million and $144 million, 
respectively.

For additional unaudited information on our pension and retiree medical plans and related accounting policies 
and  assumptions,  see  “Our  Critical Accounting  Policies”  in  Management’s  Discussion  and Analysis  of 
Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Note 8 — Related Party Transactions

Our related party transactions in 2013, 2012 and 2011 are not material.

We  coordinate,  on  an  aggregate  basis,  the  contract  negotiations  of  sweeteners  and  other  raw  material 
requirements, including aluminum cans and plastic bottles and closures for us and certain of our independent 
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 reflected in our consolidated financial 

99

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.

In addition, our joint ventures with Unilever (under the Lipton brand name) and Starbucks sell finished goods 
(ready-to-drink teas and coffees, respectively) to us and our noncontrolled bottling affiliates. Consistent with 
accounting for equity method investments, our joint venture revenue is not included in our consolidated net 
revenue.

•  $625 million of floating rate notes maturing February 2016, which bear interest at a rate equal to 

the three-month London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 21 basis points;

•  $625 million of 0.700% senior notes maturing in February 2016; and
•  $1.25 billion of 2.750% senior notes maturing in March 2023.

In the third quarter of 2013, we issued:

•  $850 million of floating rate notes maturing in July 2015 (2015 Notes), which bear interest at a rate 

equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 20 basis points; and

•  $850 million of 2.250% senior notes maturing in January 2019 (2019 Notes).

The net proceeds from the issuances of the notes in the first quarter of 2013 were used for general corporate 
purposes, including the repayment of commercial paper. The net proceeds from the issuances of the notes in 
the third quarter of 2013 were primarily used for the redemption of our outstanding 3.75% senior notes 
maturing in March 2014 (2014 Notes), as described below, with the remainder used for general corporate 
purposes, including the repayment of commercial paper. In the third quarter of 2013, we exercised our option 
to redeem all of the above 2014 Notes, using approximately $1 billion of the net proceeds from the 2015 
Notes and 2019 Notes issued in the quarter.

In the second quarter of 2013, we entered into a new five-year unsecured revolving credit agreement (Five-
Year Credit Agreement) which expires on June 10, 2018. The Five-Year Credit Agreement enables us and 
our borrowing subsidiaries to borrow up to $2.925 billion, subject to customary terms and conditions. We 
may request that commitments under this agreement be increased up to $3.5 billion. Additionally, we may, 
once a year, request renewal of the agreement for an additional one-year period. 

Also, in the second quarter of 2013, we entered into a new 364-day unsecured revolving credit agreement 
(364-Day Credit Agreement) which expires on June 9, 2014. The 364-Day Credit Agreement enables us and 
our borrowing subsidiaries to borrow up to $2.925 billion, subject to customary terms and conditions. We 
may request that commitments under this agreement be increased up to $3.5 billion. We may request renewal 
of this facility for an additional 364-day period or convert any amounts outstanding into a term loan for a 
period of up to one year, which would mature no later than the then effective termination date.  

The Five-Year Credit Agreement and the 364-Day Credit Agreement together replaced our $2.925 billion 
Four-Year Credit Agreement dated as of June 14, 2011 and our $2.925 billion 364-Day Credit Agreement 
dated as of June 14, 2011. Funds borrowed under the Five-Year Credit Agreement and the 364-Day Credit 
Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes of PepsiCo and our subsidiaries.

In addition, as of December 28, 2013, our international debt of $151 million was related to borrowings from 
external parties including various lines of credit. These lines of credit are subject to normal banking terms 
and conditions and are fully committed at least to the extent of our borrowings.

are primarily for oranges and orange juice and packaging materials. Non-cancelable marketing commitments 
are primarily for sports marketing. Bottler funding to independent bottlers is not reflected in our long-term 
contractual commitments as it is negotiated on an annual basis. Accrued liabilities for pension and retiree 
medical plans are not reflected in our long-term contractual commitments because they do not represent 
expected future cash outflows. See Note 7 for additional information regarding our pension and retiree medical 
obligations.

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. See Note 8 regarding contracts related to certain of our bottlers.

See “Our Liquidity and Capital Resources” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition 
and Results of Operations for further unaudited information on our borrowings.

Note 10 — Financial Instruments

We are exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in:

• 
• 
• 

commodity prices, affecting the cost of our raw materials and energy;
foreign exchange risks and currency restrictions; and
interest rates.

In the normal course of business, we manage these risks through a variety of strategies, including productivity 
initiatives, global purchasing programs and hedging strategies. Ongoing productivity initiatives involve the 
identification and effective implementation of meaningful cost-saving opportunities or efficiencies, including 
the  use  of  derivatives.  Our  global  purchasing  programs  include  fixed-price  purchase  orders  and  pricing 
agreements. Our hedging strategies include the use of derivatives. Certain derivatives are designated as either 
cash flow or fair value hedges and qualify for hedge accounting treatment, while others do not qualify and 
are marked to market through earnings. Cash flows from derivatives used to manage commodity price, foreign 
exchange or interest rate risks are classified as operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash 
Flows.  We  classify  both  the  earnings  and  cash  flow  impact  from  these  derivatives  consistent  with  the 
underlying hedged item. See “Our Business Risks” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial 
Condition and Results of Operations for further unaudited information on our business risks.

For cash flow hedges, changes in fair value are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss within 
common shareholders’ equity until the underlying hedged item is recognized in net income. For fair value 
hedges, changes in fair value are recognized immediately in earnings, consistent with the underlying hedged 
item. Hedging 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 fully offset the change in the value of the underlying hedged item. If the derivative instrument 
related to a cash flow hedge is terminated, we continue to defer the related gain or loss as part of accumulated 
other comprehensive loss and then 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 transaction, we recognize the 
related gain or loss on the hedge in net income immediately.

We also use derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. We account for such derivatives 
at market value with the resulting gains and losses reflected in our income statement. We do not use derivative 
instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We perform assessments of our counterparty credit risk 
regularly, including a review of credit ratings, credit default swap rates and potential nonperformance of the 
counterparty. Based on our most recent assessment of our counterparty credit risk, we consider this risk to 
be low. In addition, we enter into derivative contracts with a variety of financial institutions that we believe 
are creditworthy in order to reduce our concentration of credit risk.

Commodity Prices

We are subject to commodity price risk because our ability to recover increased costs through higher pricing 
may be limited in the competitive environment in which we operate. This risk is managed through the use 
of fixed-price contracts and purchase orders, pricing agreements and derivatives. In addition, risk to our 

102

supply of certain raw materials is mitigated through purchases from multiple geographies and suppliers. We 
use derivatives, with terms of no more than three years, to economically hedge price fluctuations related to 
a portion of our anticipated commodity purchases, primarily for agricultural products, energy and metals. 
For  those  derivatives  that  qualify  for  hedge  accounting,  any  ineffectiveness  is  recorded  immediately  in 
corporate unallocated expenses. Ineffectiveness was not material for all periods presented. During the next 
12 months, we expect to reclassify net losses of $26 million related to these hedges from accumulated other 
comprehensive loss into net income. Derivatives used to hedge commodity price risk that do not qualify for 
hedge accounting are marked to market each period with the resulting gains and losses recorded in corporate 
unallocated expenses as either cost of sales or selling, general and administrative expenses, depending on 
the underlying commodity. These gains and losses are subsequently reflected in division results when the 
divisions recognize the cost of the underlying commodity in net income. 

Our open commodity derivative contracts that qualify for hedge accounting had a face value of $494 million 
as of December 28, 2013 and $507 million as of December 29, 2012. 

Our open commodity derivative contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting had a face value of $881 
million as of December 28, 2013 and $853 million as of December 29, 2012.

Foreign Exchange

Our operations outside of the U.S. generate 49% of our net revenue, with Russia, Mexico, Canada, the United 
Kingdom and Brazil comprising approximately 25% of our net revenue in 2013. As a result, we are exposed 
to foreign exchange risks. 

Additionally, we are also exposed to foreign exchange risk from foreign currency purchases and foreign 
currency assets and liabilities created in the normal course of business. We manage this risk through sourcing 
purchases from local suppliers, negotiating contracts in local currencies with foreign suppliers and through 
the use of derivatives, primarily forward contracts with terms of no more than two years. Exchange rate gains 
or losses related to foreign currency transactions are recognized as transaction gains or losses in our income 
statement as incurred.

Our foreign currency derivatives had a total face value of $2.5 billion as of December 28, 2013 and $2.8 
billion as of December 29, 2012. During the next 12 months, we expect to reclassify net gains of $11 million 
related to foreign currency derivative contracts that qualify for hedge accounting from accumulated other 
comprehensive loss into net income. Ineffectiveness was not material for all periods presented. For foreign 
currency derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, 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 investment portfolios considering investment opportunities and risks, tax 
consequences and overall financing strategies. We use various interest rate derivative instruments including, 
but not limited to, interest rate swaps, cross-currency interest rate swaps, Treasury locks and swap locks to 
manage our overall interest expense and foreign exchange risk. These instruments effectively change the 
interest rate and currency of specific debt issuances. Certain of our fixed rate indebtedness has been swapped 
to floating rates. The notional amount, interest payment and maturity date of the interest rate and cross-
currency interest rate swaps match the principal, interest payment and maturity date of the related debt. Our 
Treasury locks and swap locks are entered into to protect against unfavorable interest rate changes relating 
to forecasted debt transactions.

The notional amounts of the interest rate derivative instruments outstanding as of December 28, 2013 and 
December 29,  2012  were  $7.9  billion  and  $8.1  billion,  respectively.  For  those  interest  rate  derivative 

103

instruments  that  qualify  for  cash  flow  hedge  accounting,  any  ineffectiveness  is  recorded  immediately. 
Ineffectiveness was not material for all periods presented.  During the next 12 months, we expect to reclassify 
net losses of $23 million related to these hedges from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net income.

As  of  December 28,  2013,  approximately  31%  of  total  debt,  after  the  impact  of  the  related  interest  rate 
derivative instruments, was exposed to variable rates, compared to 27% as of December 29, 2012.

Fair Value Measurements

Note 11 — Net Income Attributable to PepsiCo per Common Share

Basic net income attributable to PepsiCo per common share is net income available for PepsiCo common 
shareholders divided by the weighted average of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net 
income attributable to PepsiCo per common share is calculated using the weighted average of common shares 
outstanding adjusted to include the effect that would occur if in-the-money employee stock options were 
exercised and RSUs and preferred shares were converted into common shares. Options to purchase 0.6 million 
shares in 2013, 9.6 million shares in 2012 and 25.9 million shares in 2011 were not included in the calculation 
of diluted earnings per common share because these options were out-of-the-money. These out-of-the-money 
options had average exercise prices of $75.69 in 2013, $67.64 in 2012 and $66.99 in 2011.

As of December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, there were 3 million shares of convertible preferred stock 
authorized. The preferred stock was issued 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. As of December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, there were 803,953 preferred shares issued and 
167,053 and 186,553 shares outstanding, respectively. The outstanding preferred shares had a fair value of 
$69 million as of December 28, 2013 and $63 million as of December 29, 2012. 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 final award to its 
ESOP plan in June 2001.

On February 3, 2011, we acquired the ordinary shares, including shares underlying American Depositary 
Shares  (ADSs)  and  Global  Depositary  Shares  (GDS),  of WBD,  a  company  incorporated  in  the  Russian 
Federation, which represented in the aggregate approximately 66% of WBD’s outstanding ordinary shares, 
pursuant to the purchase agreement dated December 1, 2010 between PepsiCo and certain selling shareholders 
of WBD for approximately $3.8 billion in cash (or $2.4 billion, net of cash and cash equivalents acquired). 
The acquisition of those shares increased our total ownership to approximately 77%, giving us a controlling 
interest in WBD. Under the guidance on accounting for business combinations, once a controlling interest 
is obtained, we were required to recognize and measure 100% of the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities 
assumed and noncontrolling interests at their full fair values. Our fair market valuations of the identifiable 
assets acquired and liabilities assumed were completed in the first quarter of 2012 and the final valuations 
did not materially differ from those fair values reported as of December 31, 2011.

On March 10, 2011, we commenced tender offers in Russia and the U.S. for all remaining outstanding ordinary 
shares and ADSs of WBD for 3,883.70 Russian rubles per ordinary share and 970.925 Russian rubles per 
ADS, respectively. The Russian offer was made to all holders of ordinary shares and the U.S. offer was made 
to all holders of ADSs. We completed the Russian offer on May 19, 2011 and the U.S. offer on May 16, 2011. 
After completion of the offers, we paid approximately $1.3 billion for WBD’s ordinary shares (including 
shares underlying ADSs) and increased our total ownership of WBD to approximately 98.6%.

On June 30, 2011, we elected to exercise our squeeze-out rights under Russian law with respect to all remaining 
WBD  ordinary  shares  not  already  owned  by  us.  Therefore,  under  Russian  law,  all  remaining  WBD 
shareholders were required to sell their ordinary shares (including those underlying ADSs) to us at the same 
price that was offered to WBD shareholders in the Russian tender offer. Accordingly, all registered holders 
of ordinary shares on August 15, 2011 (including the ADSs depositary) received 3,883.70 Russian rubles per 
ordinary share. After completion of the squeeze-out in September 2011, we paid approximately $79 million 
for WBD’s ordinary shares (including shares underlying ADSs) and increased our total ownership to 100% 
of WBD.

Tingyi-Asahi Beverages Holding Co. Ltd.

On March 31, 2012, we completed a transaction with Tingyi. Under the terms of the agreement, we contributed 
our Company-owned and joint venture bottling operations in China to Tingyi’s beverage subsidiary, Tingyi-
Asahi Beverages Holding Co. Ltd. (TAB), and received as consideration a 5% indirect equity interest in 
TAB. As a result of this transaction, TAB is now our franchise bottler in China. We also have a call option 
to increase our indirect holding in TAB to 20% by 2015. We recorded restructuring and other charges of $150 
million ($176 million after-tax or $0.11 per share), primarily consisting of employee-related charges, in our 
2012 results.  This charge is reflected in items affecting comparability. See additional unaudited information 
in “Items Affecting Comparability” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
Results of Operations.

Suntory Holdings Limited

During our second quarter of 2013, as part of the refranchising of our beverage business in Vietnam, we 
completed  a  transaction  with  Suntory  Holdings  Limited.  Under  the  terms  of  the  agreement,  we  sold  a 
controlling interest in our Vietnam bottling operations. The new alliance serves as the franchise bottler for 
both companies. As a result of this transaction, we recorded a pre- and after-tax gain of $137 million (or 
$0.09 per share) in our 2013 results.

To Our Shareholders:

Management’s Responsibility for Financial Reporting

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

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

We are committed to providing timely, accurate and understandable information to investors. Our commitment 
encompasses the following:

Maintaining strong controls over financial reporting. Our system of internal control is based on the control 
criteria framework of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission published 
in their report titled Internal Control – Integrated Framework (1992). 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  sufficiently  reliable  to  permit  the  preparation  of  financial 
statements that conform in all material respects with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed 
in reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within 
the  specified  time  periods. We  monitor  these  internal  controls  through  self-assessments  and  an  ongoing 
program of internal audits. Our internal controls are reinforced through our Global Code of Conduct, which 
sets forth our commitment to conduct business with integrity, and within both the letter and the spirit of the 
law.

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

Engaging strong and effective Corporate Governance from our Board of Directors. We have an active, 
capable and diligent Board that meets the required standards for independence, and we welcome the Board’s 
oversight as a representative of our shareholders. Our Audit Committee is comprised of independent directors 
with the financial literacy, knowledge and experience to provide appropriate oversight. We review our critical 
accounting policies, financial reporting and internal control matters with them and encourage their direct 
communication with KPMG LLP, with our Internal Auditor, and with our General Counsel. We also have a 
Compliance  &  Ethics  Department,  led  by  our  Chief  Compliance  &  Ethics  Officer,  to  coordinate  our 
compliance policies and practices.

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

111

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

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
PepsiCo, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets of PepsiCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries (“PepsiCo, 
Inc.” or “the Company”) as of December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, and the related Consolidated 
Statements of Income, Comprehensive Income, Cash Flows and Equity for each of the fiscal years in the 
three-year period ended December 28, 2013. We also have audited PepsiCo, Inc.’s internal control over 
financial reporting as of December 28, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated 
Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission 
(“COSO”).  PepsiCo,  Inc.’s  management  is  responsible  for  these  consolidated  financial  statements,  for 
maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of 
internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal 
Control  over  Financial  Reporting  under  Item  9A.  Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these 
consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting 
based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight 
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable 
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective 
internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated 
financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures 
in  the  financial  statements,  assessing  the  accounting  principles  used  and  significant  estimates  made  by 
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over 
financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing 
the risk that a material 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 financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance 
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes 
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial 
reporting  includes  those  policies  and  procedures  that  (1)  pertain  to  the  maintenance  of  records  that,  in 
reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; 
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial 
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures 
of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the 
company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized 
acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial 
statements. 

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

113

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, 
the financial position of PepsiCo, Inc. as of December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, and the results of 
its operations and its cash flows for each of the fiscal years in the three-year period ended December 28, 
2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, PepsiCo, Inc. 
maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 28, 
2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) issued by COSO.

(a)  In 2013 and 2012, we recognized $72 million ($44 million after-tax or $0.03 per share) of mark-to-market net losses and $65 million ($41 

million after-tax or $0.03 per share) of mark-to-market net gains, respectively, on commodity hedges in corporate unallocated expenses.

(b)  In 2013 and 2012, we incurred merger and integration charges of $10 million ($8 million after-tax or $0.01 per share) and $16 million ($12 
million after-tax or $0.01 per share), respectively, related to our acquisition of WBD. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements.
(c)  In 2013 and 2012, restructuring and impairment charges were $163 million ($129 million after-tax or $0.08 per share) and $279 million 

($215 million after-tax or $0.14 per share), respectively. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements.

(d)  In 2013, we recorded a $111 million net charge related to the devaluation of the bolivar for our Venezuela businesses. $124 million of this 
charge was recorded in corporate unallocated expenses, with the balance (equity income of $13 million) recorded in our PAB segment. In 
total, this net charge had an after-tax impact of $111 million or $0.07 per share.

In the fourth quarter of 2013, we recognized a non-cash tax benefit of $209 million ($0.13 per share) associated with our agreement with 
the IRS resolving all open matters related to the audits for taxable years 2003 through 2009, which reduced our reserve for uncertain tax 
positions for the tax years 2003 through 2012. The amount above excludes a fourth quarter reduction of our reserve for uncertain tax 
positions for the tax year 2013 of $107 million, reversing in full amounts accrued in the first three quarters of 2013; this reduction was 
more than offset by other tax related adjustments in the fourth quarter of 2013.  In 2012, we recognized a non-cash tax benefit of $217 
million ($0.14 per share) associated with a favorable tax court decision related to the classification of financial instruments. See Note 5 to

GLOSSARY

Acquisitions and divestitures: all mergers and acquisitions activity, including the impact of acquisitions, 
divestitures and changes in ownership or control in consolidated subsidiaries and nonconsolidated equity 
investees.

Bottler  Case  Sales  (BCS):  measure  of  physical  beverage  volume  shipped  to  retailers  and  independent 
distributors from both PepsiCo and our independent bottlers. 

Bottler funding: financial incentives we give to our independent bottlers to assist in the distribution and 
promotion of our beverage products.

Concentrate Shipments and Equivalents (CSE): measure of our physical beverage volume shipments to 
independent bottlers, retailers and independent distributors.

Constant currency: financial results assuming constant foreign currency exchange rates used for translation 
based on the rates in effect for the comparable prior-year period. In order to compute our constant currency 
results, we multiply or divide, as appropriate, our current year U.S. dollar results by the current year average 
foreign exchange rates and then multiply or divide, as appropriate, those amounts by the prior year average 
foreign exchange rates.

Consumers: people who eat and drink our products.

CSD: carbonated soft drinks.

Customers: authorized independent bottlers, distributors and retailers.

Derivatives: financial instruments, such as futures, swaps, Treasury locks, cross currency swaps, options 
and forward contracts that we use to manage our risk arising from changes in commodity prices, interest 
rates, foreign exchange rates and stock prices.

Direct-Store-Delivery (DSD): delivery system used by us and our independent bottlers to deliver snacks 
and beverages directly to retail stores where our products are merchandised.

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.

Free cash flow: net cash provided by operating activities less capital spending plus sales of property, plant 
and equipment. Also referred to as “management operating cash flow.”

Hedge accounting: treatment for qualifying hedges that allows fluctuations in a hedging instrument’s fair 
value to offset corresponding fluctuations in the hedged item in the same reporting period. Hedge accounting 
is allowed only in cases where the hedging relationship between the hedging instruments and hedged items 
is highly effective, and only prospectively from the date a hedging relationship is formally documented.

Independent bottlers: customers to whom we have granted exclusive contracts to sell and manufacture 
certain beverage products bearing our trademarks within a specific geographical area.

Management operating cash flow: net cash provided by operating activities less capital spending plus sales 
of property, plant and equipment. Also referred to as “free cash flow.”

119

Mark-to-market net gain or loss: change in market value for commodity contracts that we purchase to 
mitigate the volatility in costs of energy and raw materials that we consume. The market value is determined 
based on average prices on national exchanges and recently reported transactions in the marketplace.

Organic: a measure that adjusts for impacts of acquisitions, divestitures and other structural changes and 
foreign exchange translation. This measure also excludes the impact of an extra reporting week in 2011.  In 
excluding the impact of foreign exchange translation, we assume constant foreign exchange rates used for 
translation based on the rates in effect for the comparable prior-year period. See the definition of “Constant 
currency” for additional information. 

Servings: common metric reflecting our consolidated physical unit volume. Our divisions’ physical unit 
measures are converted into servings based on U.S. Food and Drug Administration guidelines for single-
serving sizes of our products.

Total marketplace spending: includes sales incentives and discounts offered through various programs to 
our customers, consumers or independent bottlers, as well as advertising and other marketing activities.

Transaction gains and losses: the impact on our consolidated financial statements of exchange rate changes 
arising from specific transactions.

Translation adjustment: the impact of converting our foreign affiliates’ financial statements into U.S. dollars 
for the purpose of consolidating our financial statements.

Item 9A.  Controls and Procedures.

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out 
an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief 
Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design 
and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 
15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice 
President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report our 
disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us 
in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported 
within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our 
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, 
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b)  Management’s Annual  Report  on  Internal  Control  over  Financial  Reporting.  Our  management  is 
responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term 
is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our 
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, 
we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based upon 
the  framework  in  Internal  Control  –  Integrated  Framework  (1992)  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring 
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our 
internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 28, 2013.

Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm. KPMG LLP, an independent registered public 
accounting firm, has audited the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 
10-K and, as part of their audit, has issued their report, included herein, on the effectiveness of our internal 
control over financial reporting.

(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. During our fourth fiscal quarter of 2013, we 
continued migrating certain of our financial processing systems to an enterprise-wide systems solution. These 
systems implementations are part of our ongoing global business transformation initiative, and we plan to 
continue implementing such systems throughout other parts of our businesses over the course of the next 
few years. Moreover, we continue to integrate our WBD business, which was acquired in 2011. In connection 
with these implementations and integration, and resulting business process changes, we continue to enhance 
the design and documentation of our internal control over financial reporting processes to maintain suitable 
controls over our financial reporting.

Except as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our 
fourth fiscal quarter of 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our 
internal control over financial reporting.

Reconciliation of 
GAAP and Non- GAAP 
Information

Organic,  core  and  constant  currency  results,  as  well  as  free  cash 
flow  excluding  certain  items,  are  non-GAAP  financial  measures 
as they exclude certain items noted below. However, we believe 
investors should consider these measures as they are more indica-
tive  of  our  ongoing  performance  and  with  how  management 
evaluates our operational results and trends. 

Commodity Mark-to-Market Net Impact

In  the  year  ended  December  28,  2013,  we  recognized  $72  mil-
lion  of  mark-to-market  net  losses  on  commodity  hedges  in 
corporate unallocated expenses. In the year ended December 29, 
2012,  we  recognized  $65  million  of  mark-to-market  net  gains 
on commodity hedges in corporate unallocated expenses. These 
commodity derivatives include agricultural products, energy and 
metals. Certain of these commodity derivatives do not qualify for 
hedge accounting treatment and are marked to market with the 
resulting  gains  and  losses  recognized  in  corporate  unallocated 
expenses, as either cost of sales or selling, general and administra-
tive  expenses,  depending  on  the  underlying  commodity.  These 
gains and losses are subsequently reflected in division results when 
the divisions recognize the cost of the underlying commodity in 
net income.

Merger and Integration Charges

In  the  year  ended  December  28,  2013,  we  incurred  merger  and 
integration  charges  of  $10  million  related  to  our  acquisition 
of  WBD  recorded  in  the  Europe  segment.  In  the  year  ended 
December 29, 2012, we incurred merger and integration charges 
of $16 million related to our acquisition of WBD, including $11 mil-
lion recorded in the Europe segment and $5 million recorded in 
interest expense.

Restructuring and Impairment Charges

2014 Multi-Year Productivity Plan

In  the  year  ended  December  28,  2013,  we  incurred  restructur-
ing  and  impairment  charges  of  $53  million  in  conjunction  with 
the  multi-year  productivity  plan  we  publicly  announced  on 
February  13,  2014  (2014  Productivity  Plan),  including  $11  million 
recorded in the FLNA segment, $3 million recorded in the QFNA 
segment,  $5  million  recorded  in  the  LAF  segment,  $10  million 

recorded in the PAB segment, $10 million recorded in the Europe 
segment, $1 million recorded in the AMEA segment and $13 million 
recorded in corporate unallocated expenses. The 2014 Productivity 
Plan includes the next generation of productivity initiatives that we 
believe will strengthen our food, snack and beverage businesses 
by  accelerating  our  investment  in  manufacturing  automation; 
further  optimizing  our  global  manufacturing  footprint,  includ-
ing  closing  certain  manufacturing  facilities;  re-engineering  our 
go-to-market  systems  in  developed  markets;  expanding  shared 
services;  and  implementing  simplified  organization  structures  to 
drive efficiency.

2012 Multi-Year Productivity Plan

In  the  year  ended  December  28,  2013,  we  incurred  restructur-
ing and impairment charges of $110 million in conjunction with 
the  multi-year  productivity  plan  we  announced  on  February  9, 
2012  (2012  Productivity  Plan),  including  $8  million  recorded  in 
the  FLNA  segment,  $1  million  recorded  in  the  QFNA  segment, 
$7 million recorded in the LAF segment, $21 million recorded in 
the  PAB  segment,  $50  million  recorded  in  the  Europe  segment, 
$25 million recorded in the AMEA segment and income of $2 mil-
lion  recorded  in  corporate  unallocated  expenses,  representing 
adjustments of previously recorded amounts. In the year ended 
December 29, 2012, we incurred restructuring charges of $279 mil-
lion  in  conjunction  with  the  2012  Productivity  Plan,  including 
$38  million  recorded  in  the  FLNA  segment,  $9  million  recorded 
in the QFNA segment, $50 million recorded in the LAF segment, 
$102 million recorded in the PAB segment, $42 million recorded in 
the Europe segment, $28 million recorded in the AMEA segment 
and  $10  million  recorded  in  corporate  unallocated  expenses. 
The  2012  Productivity  Plan  includes  actions  in  every  aspect  of 
our  business  that  we  believe  will  strengthen  our  complemen-
tary  food,  snack  and  beverage  businesses  by  leveraging  new 
technologies  and  processes  across  PepsiCo’s  operations,  go-to-
market and information systems; heightening the focus on best 
practice  sharing  across  the  globe;  consolidating  manufacturing, 
warehouse and sales facilities; and implementing simplified orga-
nization structures, with wider spans of control and fewer layers 
of management.

Venezuela Currency Devaluation

In  the  year  ended  December  28,  2013,  we  recorded  a  $111  mil-
lion  net  charge  related  to  the  devaluation  of  the  bolivar  for  our 
Venezuela businesses. $124 million of this charge was recorded in 
corporate unallocated expenses, with the balance (equity income 
of $13 million) recorded in the PAB segment.

Reconciliation of GAAP and Non- GAAP Information
(continued)

Tax Benefi  ts

Core Constant Currency EPS

In the year ended December 28, 2013, we recognized a non-cash 
tax  benefit  of  $209  million  associated  with  our  agreement  with 
the IRS resolving all open matters related to the audits for taxable 
years 2003 through 2009, which reduced our reserve for uncertain 
tax positions for the tax years 2003 through 2012. In the year ended 
December  29,  2012,  we  recognized  a  non-cash  tax  benefit  of 
$217 million associated with a favorable tax court decision related 
to the classification of financial instruments.

Restructuring and Other Charges Related to the

Transaction With Tingyi

In the year ended December 29, 2012, we recorded restructuring 
and other charges of $150 million in the AMEA segment related to 
the transaction with Tingyi.

Pension Lump Sum Settlement Charge

In the year ended December 29, 2012, we recorded a pension lump 
sum settlement charge of $195 million.

Free Cash Flow (excluding certain items)

Free cash flow (excluding the items noted in the Net Cash Provided 
by  Operating  Activities  Reconciliation  table  on  page  65)  is  the 
primary measure management uses to monitor cash flow perfor-
mance. This is not a measure defined by GAAP. Since net capital 
spending  is  essential  to  our  product  innovation  initiatives  and 
maintaining  our  operational  capabilities,  we  believe  that  it  is  a 
recurring and necessary use of cash. As such, we believe investors 
should  also  consider  net  capital  spending  when  evaluating  our 
cash  from  operating  activities.  Additionally,  we  consider  certain 
other  items  (included  in  the  Net  Cash  Provided  by  Operating 
Activities Reconciliation table) in evaluating free cash flow which 
we  believe  investors  should  consider  in  evaluating  our  free  cash 
flow results.

Organic Revenue

Organic  revenue  growth  is  a  non-GAAP  financial  measure  that 
excludes  certain  items.  See  page  55  “Results  of  Operations —  
Division  Review”  in  Management’s  Discussion  and  Analysis  for  a 
reconciliation to the most directly comparable financial measure 
in accordance with GAAP.

Core  constant  currency  EPS  growth  is  a  non-GAAP  financial 
measure  that  excludes  certain  items.  See  page  53  “Results  of 
Operations — Consolidated Review” in Management’s Discussion 
and Analysis for a reconciliation to the most directly comparable 
financial measure in accordance with GAAP.
