NOTES TO UNAUDITED, CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited; tabular dollars in millions; all per share amounts
reflect common per share amounts and assume dilution unless noted)
(1) General
Our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 8, 2001 and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 8, 2001 and September 2, 2000 and the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the 36 weeks ended September 8, 2001 and September 2, 2000 have not been audited and, except for the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 133 as described in Note 9, have been prepared on a basis that is substantially consistent with the accounting principles applied in our 2000 consolidated financial statements. Our 2000 financial statements were restated to reflect the merger with The Quaker Oats Company in our Form 8-K filed on August 27, 2001. In our opinion, this information includes all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation. The results for the 12 and 36 weeks are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year.
(2) Merger of PepsiCo and The Quaker Oats Company
On August 2, 2001, we completed a merger transaction, which resulted in The Quaker Oats Company becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of PepsiCo. Under the merger agreement dated December 2, 2000, Quaker shareholders received 2.3 shares of PepsiCo common stock for each share of Quaker common stock, including a cash payment for fractional shares. We issued approximately 306 million shares of our common stock in exchange for all the outstanding common stock of Quaker.
In connection with the merger transaction, we sold the global rights of our All Sport beverage brand to The Monarch Company, Inc. of Atlanta. As part of the terms of the sale, we agreed that, for 10 years after the Quaker transaction closing date, we would not distribute Gatorade through our bottling system and would not include Gatorade with Pepsi-Cola products in certain marketing or promotional arrangements covering specific distribution channels.
The transaction was accounted for as a tax-free transaction and as a pooling-of-interests under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16, Business Combinations. As a result, the prior period financial statements described in Note 1 were restated to include the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of both companies as if they had always been combined. Certain reclassifications were made to conform the presentation of the restated financial statements, and the fiscal calendar and certain interim reporting policies were also conformed. There were no material transactions between pre-merger PepsiCo and Quaker.
We incurred transaction costs of approximately $117 million related to the merger.
-7-
The results of operations of the separate companies and the combined company for the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 2, 2000 are as follows:
12 Weeks 36 Weeks Ended Ended 9/2/00 9/2/00 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Sales: PepsiCo.............................................. $4,909 $14,028 Quaker.................................................. 1,475 4,045 Adjustments (a)......................................... 37 (461) ---------- ----------- Combined.................................................. $6,421 $17,612 ========== =========== Net Income: PepsiCo................................................. $ 587 $ 1,572 Quaker.................................................. 159 312 Adjustments (a)......................................... 9 (39) ---------- ----------- Combined.................................................. $ 755 $ 1,845 ========== =========== (a) Adjustments reflect the impact of changing Quaker's fiscal calendar to conform to PepsiCo's and adjustments to conform accounting policies of the two companies applicable to interim reporting. Accordingly, these changes have no impact on full year net sales or net income.

-10- (5) Supplemental Cash Flow Information (6) Merger-Related Costs During the third quarter,
we recognized merger-related costs of $235 million associated with our merger
with Quaker. The components of these costs were as follows: Transaction costs were
incurred to complete the merger and consist primarily of fees and expenses for
investment bankers, attorneys and accountants, SEC filing fees, stock exchange
listing fees and financial printing and other related charges. Integration costs represent
incremental one-time merger-related costs. Such costs include consulting fees
and expenses, expense for accelerated vesting under change-in-control
provisions, information system integration costs and other costs associated with
the integration of Quaker. The restructuring charges
primarily reflect termination costs for approximately 250 corporate, sales,
distribution, research and marketing employees. Employee termination costs
include retirement benefit and severance costs and expenses associated with
change-in-control provisions of pre-merger employment contracts. All of the
merger-related restructuring charges are employee related costs. As of September
8, 2001, approximately 40 of the terminations have occurred. The terminations
are expected to be completed during 2002. We expect to incur additional costs to integrate the two companies.
-11- Analysis of integration cost and merger-related restructuring reserves:
These reserves are included
in accounts payable and other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheet. (7) Other Asset Impairment and Restructuring The 2001 and 2000 other
asset impairment and restructuring charges relate to a three-year supply chain
reconfiguration project announced in 1999 to upgrade and optimize Quakers
manufacturing and distribution capabilities across all of its North American
businesses. In 2000, in conjunction
with the supply chain reconfiguration project, Quaker adopted plans for the
closure of two cereal manufacturing facilities and two distribution centers in
the United States. The asset impairment charges of $123 million primarily
reflect the reduction in the carrying value of the land, buildings and
production machinery and equipment to their estimated fair market value based on
analyses of the liquidation values of similar assets. The restructuring charges
of $55 million primarily include severance and termination benefits and other
shutdown costs. -12- Analysis of other restructuring reserves: These other restructuring
reserves are included in accounts payable and other current liabilities in the
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. (8) Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities On December 31, 2000, we
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS 137 and SFAS
138. SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires that we recognize all
derivative instruments as either current or non-current assets or liabilities in
the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and measure those instruments at fair
value. The adoption of SFAS 133 on December 31, 2000 increased assets by
approximately $12 million and liabilities by approximately $10 million with
approximately $3 million recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income
and less than $1 million recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of
Income. Accumulated other comprehensive loss included net accumulated derivative
losses of $6 million as of September 8, 2001. In the normal course of
business, we manage risks associated with commodity prices, foreign exchange
rates, interest rates and equity prices through a variety of strategies,
including the use of hedging transactions, executed in accordance with our
policies. Our hedging transactions include, but are not limited to, the use of
various derivative financial and commodity instruments. As a matter of policy,
we do not use derivative instruments unless there is an underlying exposure. 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. We do not use
derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. -13- Accounting Policies Using qualifying criteria
defined in SFAS 133, derivative instruments are designated and accounted for as
either a hedge of a recognized asset or liability (fair value hedge) or a hedge
of a forecasted transaction (cash flow hedge). For a fair value hedge, both the
effective and ineffective portions of the change in fair value of the derivative
instrument, along with an adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged item
for fair value changes attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in
earnings. For a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative
instrument that is highly effective are deferred in accumulated other
comprehensive income or loss until the underlying hedged item is recognized in
earnings. The ineffective portion of fair value changes on qualifying hedges is
recognized in earnings immediately. If a fair value or cash flow hedge were to
cease to qualify for hedge accounting or be terminated, it would continue to be
carried on the balance sheet at fair value until settled but hedge accounting
would be discontinued prospectively. If a forecasted transaction were no longer
probable of occurring, amounts previously deferred in accumulated other
comprehensive income would be recognized immediately in earnings. On occasion, we may enter
into a derivative instrument for which hedge accounting is not required because
it is entered into to offset changes in the fair value of an underlying
transaction which is required to be recognized in earnings (natural hedge).
These instruments are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at
fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. Commodity Prices We are subject to market
risk with respect to the cost of commodities because our ability to recover
increased costs through higher pricing may be limited by the competitive
environment in which we operate. We manage this risk primarily through the use
of fixed-price purchase orders, pricing agreements, geographic diversity and
derivative instruments. Derivative instruments, including futures, options and
swaps, are used to hedge fluctuations in prices of a portion of anticipated
commodity purchases, primarily vegetable oil, corn, oats, packaging materials,
natural gas and fuel. Our use of derivative instruments is not significant to
our commodity purchases. Derivative instruments designated as hedges of
anticipated commodity purchases are accounted for as either cash flow or natural
hedges. The earnings impact from commodity hedges is classified as either cost
of sales or selling, general and administrative expenses consistent with the
expense classification of the underlying hedged items. We expect to reclassify
into earnings, during the next twelve months, currently deferred net after-tax
losses from accumulated other comprehensive income of approximately $5 million
at the time the underlying hedged transactions are realized. Substantially all
cash flow hedges at September 8, 2001 are for periods of less than two years.
Cash flow hedges for longer periods are not material. Ineffectiveness resulting
from cash flow hedging activities was not material to our results of operations.
No cash flow hedges were discontinued during the quarter ended September 8, 2001
as a result of anticipated transactions that are no longer probable of
occurring. Foreign Exchange International operations
constitute about one-fifth of our annual business segment operating profit.
Operating in international markets involves exposure to movements in foreign
exchange rates, primarily the Mexican peso, British pound, Canadian dollar, euro
and Brazilian real which principally impacts the translation of our
international operating profit into U.S. dollars. -14- On occasion, we may enter
into derivative financial instruments, as necessary, to reduce the effect of
foreign exchange rate changes. We manage the use of foreign exchange derivatives
centrally. Forward exchange contracts used to hedge the foreign currency
exposure resulting from assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other
than the functional currency and anticipated intercompany purchases are
accounted for as either natural or cash flow hedges, as applicable. The earnings
impact from these hedges is classified as either cost of sales or selling,
general and administrative expenses consistent with the expense classification
of the underlying hedged items. The fair value of such contracts designated as
cash flow hedges was not material at September 8, 2001. Interest Rates We centrally manage our
debt and investment portfolios considering investment opportunities and risks,
tax consequences and overall financing strategies. We use interest rate and
currency swaps to effectively change the interest rate and currency of specific
debt issuances, with the objective of reducing our overall borrowing costs.
These swaps are entered into concurrently with the issuance of the debt that
they are intended to modify. The notional amount, interest payment and maturity
dates of the swaps match the principal, interest payment and maturity dates of
the related debt. Accordingly, any market risk or opportunity associated with
these swaps is offset by the opposite market impact on the related debt. Our
credit risk related to interest rate and currency swaps is considered low
because such swaps are entered into only with strong creditworthy
counterparties, are generally settled on a net basis and are of relatively short
duration. Further, there is no significant concentration with counterparties. Interest rate and currency
swaps are designated as hedges of underlying fixed rate obligations and
accounted for as fair value hedges. The earnings impact from these hedges is
classified as interest expense. The ineffective portion of debt fair value
hedges was not material to our results of operations. Equity Prices Equity derivative contracts
with financial institutions are used to hedge a portion of our deferred
compensation liability which is based on PepsiCos stock price. These
prepaid forward contracts indexed to PepsiCos stock price are accounted
for as natural hedges. The earnings impact from these hedges is classified as
selling, general and administrative expenses consistent with the expense
classification of the underlying hedged item. (9) New Accounting Standards During 2000, the Financial
Accounting Standards Boards Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) added to its
agenda various issues that impact the income statement classification of certain
promotional payments. In May 2000, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue 00-14,
Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives. EITF 00-14 addresses the recognition
and income statement classification of various sales incentives. Among its
requirements, the consensus will require the costs related to consumer coupons
currently classified as marketing costs to be classified as a reduction of
revenue. In April 2001, the EITF delayed the effective date for this consensus
to 2002. The impact of adopting this consensus is not expected to have a
material impact on our consolidated financial statements. -15- In January 2001, the EITF
reached a consensus on Issue 00-22, Accounting for Points and
Certain Other Time-Based or Volume-Based Sales Incentive Offers, and Offers for
Free Products or Services to Be Delivered in the Future. Issue 00-22 requires
that certain volume-based cash rebates to customers currently recognized as
marketing costs be classified as a reduction of revenue. The consensus was
effective for the first quarter of 2001 and was not material to our consolidated
financial statements. In April 2001, the EITF
reached a consensus on Issue 00-25, Vendor Income Statement Characterization of
Consideration Paid to a Reseller of the Vendors Products. EITF 00-25
addresses the income statement classification of consideration, other than that
directly addressed in Issue 00-14, from a vendor to a reseller, or another party
that purchases the vendors products. The consensus requires most of our
customer promotional incentives currently classified as marketing costs to be
classified as a reduction of revenue. Annual promotional expenses classified as
marketing costs were $3.2 billion in 2000. The consensus is effective for 2002. In July 2001, the FASB
issued SFAS 141, Business Combinations which supersedes APB 16, Business
Combinations. SFAS 141 eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting
for business combinations and modifies the application of the purchase
accounting method. The elimination of the pooling-of-interests method is
effective for transactions initiated after June 30, 2001. The remaining
provisions of SFAS 141 will be effective for transactions accounted for using
the purchase method that are completed after June 30, 2001. Since our merger
with The Quaker Oats Company is accounted for as a pooling-of-interests and was
initiated in December 2000, adoption of this Statement did not have an impact on
our consolidated financial statements. In July 2001, the FASB also
issued SFAS 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, which supersedes APB 17,
Intangible Assets. SFAS 142 eliminates the current requirement to amortize
goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, addresses the amortization of
intangible assets with a defined life and the impairment testing and recognition
for goodwill and intangible assets. SFAS 142 will apply to goodwill and
intangible assets arising from transactions completed before and after the
effective date. SFAS 142 is effective for 2002. We are currently assessing the
Statement and the impact that adoption will have on our consolidated financial
statements. (10) Share Repurchases Subsequent to the quarter,
we repurchased 35.4 million shares of our common stock at a cost of $1.7 billion
under the emergency and exemptive orders from the Securities and Exchange
Commission aimed at facilitating the reopening of the U.S. equities markets on
September 17, 2001, following the September 11th terrorist attacks. Our Board of
Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $2 billion worth of our common
stock during the terms of the orders. Repurchases under the orders did not
compromise our ability to account for the merger with Quaker as a
pooling-of-interests. -16- (tabular dollars are presented in millions, except per share amounts) All per share amounts
reflect common per share amounts, assume dilution and are based on unrounded
amounts. Percentage changes are based on unrounded amounts. In the discussions below,
the year-over-year dollar change in unit sales is referred to as volume. Price
changes over the prior year and the impact of product, package and country sales
mix changes are referred to as effective net pricing. Comparable results
discussed below exclude the costs associated with our merger with The Quaker
Oats Company, other impairment and restructuring charges and various Quaker
one-time charges. The comparable results also reflect the impact of the
reclassification in 2000 of equity derivative contracts from interest income to
corporate unallocated. Cautionary Statements From time to time, in
written reports and in oral statements, we discuss expectations regarding our
future performance including synergies from the merger, the impact of the euro
conversion, the impact of global macro-economic issues and the impact of the
September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. These forward-looking
statements are based on currently available competitive, financial and
economic data and our operating plans. They are inherently uncertain, and
investors must recognize that events could turn out to be significantly
different from our expectations. Market Risk Our market risks are
described in Note 8. Global macro-economic issues and the impact of the
September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on global macro-economics may impact our
ability to manage these risks. Merger of PepsiCo and The Quaker Oats Company On August 2, 2001, we
completed a merger transaction with The Quaker Oats Company. Under the merger
agreement dated December 2, 2000, Quaker shareholders received 2.3 shares of
PepsiCo common stock in exchange for each share of Quaker common stock,
including a cash payment for fractional shares. We issued approximately 306
million shares of our common stock in exchange for all the outstanding common
stock of Quaker. In connection with the
merger transaction, we sold the global rights of our All Sport beverage brand to
The Monarch Company, Inc. of Atlanta. As part of the terms of the sale, we
agreed that, for 10 years after the Quaker transaction closing date, we would
not distribute Gatorade through our bottling system and would not include
Gatorade with Pepsi-Cola products in certain marketing or promotional
arrangements covering specific distribution channels. -17- The merger was accounted
for as a tax-free transaction and as a pooling-of-interests under Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 16, Business Combinations. As a result, all prior
period consolidated financial statements presented were restated to include the
results of operations, financial position and cash flows of both companies as if
they had always been combined. Certain reclassifications were made to conform
the presentation of the financial statements, and the fiscal calendar and
certain interim reporting policies were also conformed. There were no material
transactions between pre-merger PepsiCo and Quaker. The results of operations of the separate companies and the combined company for the 12
and 36 weeks ended September 2, 2000 are as follows: Merger-Related Costs During the third quarter,
we recognized merger-related costs of $235 million associated with our merger
with Quaker. The components of these costs were as follows: Transaction costs were
incurred to complete the merger and consist primarily of fees and expenses for
investment bankers, attorneys and accountants, SEC filing fees, stock exchange
listing fees and financial printing and other related charges. Integration costs represent
incremental one-time merger-related costs. Such costs include consulting fees
and expenses, various employee benefit costs, information system integration
costs and other costs associated with the integration of Quaker. -18- The restructuring charges
primarily reflect termination costs for approximately 250 corporate, sales,
distribution, research and marketing employees. Employee termination costs
include retirement benefit and severance costs and expenses associated with
change-in-control provisions of pre-merger employment contracts. All of the
merger-related restructuring charges are employee related costs. As of September
8, 2001, approximately 40 of the terminations have occurred. The terminations
are expected to be completed during 2002. Additional merger-related
actions over the next two years are expected to bring the total integration
costs and restructuring charges to between $450 million and $550 million.
Ongoing merger-related cost savings and revenue enhancement opportunities are
expected to reach $400 million a year by 2005. Between $140 million and $175
million of the synergies are expected to be achieved by the end of 2002. Other Asset Impairment and Restructuring The 2001 and 2000 other
asset impairment and restructuring charges relate to a three-year supply chain
reconfiguration project announced in 1999 to upgrade and optimize Quakers
manufacturing and distribution capabilities across all of its North American
businesses. In 2000, in conjunction
with the supply chain reconfiguration project, Quaker adopted plans for the
closure of two cereal manufacturing facilities and two distribution centers in
the United States. The asset impairment charges of $123 million primarily
reflect the reduction in the carrying value of the land, buildings and
production machinery and equipment to their estimated fair market value based on
analyses of the liquidation values of similar assets. The restructuring charges
of $55 million primarily included severance and termination benefits and other
shutdown costs. -19- Analysis of Consolidated Operations Net Sales, Operating Profit and Operating Profit Margin For the quarter, net sales
increased 8% primarily due to volume gains and higher effective net pricing
across all segments, as well as the acquisition of SoBe. These gains were
partially offset by a net unfavorable foreign currency impact. The SoBe
acquisition enhanced net sales growth by 1 percentage point and the unfavorable
foreign currency impact reduced net sales growth by 1 percentage point. For the quarter, comparable
operating profit increased 11% primarily reflecting the higher effective net
pricing and increased volume. These increases were partially offset by increased
advertising and marketing at Frito-Lay North America and Gatorade/Tropicana
North America, as well as higher manufacturing costs. Advertising and marketing
expenses grew at a slightly slower rate than sales. Year-to-date, net sales
increased 8% due to volume gains and higher effective net pricing across all
segments, as well as the acquisition of SoBe. These gains were partially offset
by a net unfavorable foreign currency impact. The SoBe acquisition enhanced net
sales growth by 1 percentage point and the unfavorable foreign currency impact
reduced net sales growth by 1 percentage point. Year-to-date, comparable
operating profit increased 11% primarily reflecting the higher effective net
pricing and increased volume. These increases were partially offset by increased
advertising and marketing and selling and distribution expenses, as well as
higher manufacturing costs. Advertising and marketing expenses grew at a faster
rate than sales while selling and distribution expenses grew at a significantly
slower rate. Volume Servings are based on U.S.
Food and Drug Administration guidelines for single serving sizes of our
products. For the quarter and
year-to-date, total servings increased 5% due to contributions from all
divisions, particularly our international divisions and Pepsi-Cola North
America. -20- Bottling Equity Income Bottling equity income
increased 12% to $85 million for the quarter and 13% to $153 million
year-to-date. The increases reflect our share of the higher net earnings from
our bottling equity investments. Year-to-date, bottling equity income also
includes a second quarter gain of $59 million from the sale of approximately 2
million shares of The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc. stock and second quarter
impairment charges related to certain international bottling investments which
exceeded the gain. A significant portion of these charges related to our equity
investee in Turkey which was impacted by a major currency devaluation and
adverse macro economic conditions. Interest Expense, net Reported and comparable
interest income includes gains or losses on equity investments used to
economically hedge a portion of our deferred compensation liability. Reported
interest income in 2000 also includes gains or losses from the equity derivative
contracts used to hedge a portion of our deferred compensation liability. These
equity contracts are now classified in selling, general and administrative
expenses in connection with the 2001 adoption of the new accounting standard on
derivative instruments. Comparable interest income for 2000 was restated to
reflect this reclassification. For the quarter, comparable
interest expense, net of interest income, declined 27%. Interest expense
declined primarily as a result of significantly lower average debt levels.
Interest income declined primarily due to lower average interest rates and a
loss on equity investments, partially offset by higher average investment
balances. Year-to-date comparable
interest expense, net of interest income, declined 28%. Interest expense
declined primarily as a result of significantly lower average debt levels.
Interest income increased primarily due to higher average investment balances,
partially offset by lower average interest rates and a loss on equity
investments used to hedge a portion of our deferred compensation liability -21- Provision for Income Taxes For the quarter and year-to-date, the comparable effective tax rate decreased 0.7 percentage point primarily due to lower taxes on
foreign results. For the quarter, the reported effective tax rate is 6.8 percentage points higher than the comparable effective tax rate, primarily
due to limited tax benefits associated with certain merger-related costs recognized during the quarter. Net Income and Net Income per Common Share For the quarter, comparable
net income increased 14% and the related net income per common share increased
13%. These increases primarily reflect increased operating profit, a lower
effective tax rate and lower net interest expense. The increase in net income
per common share also reflects the negative impact of a 1.2% increase in shares
outstanding primarily related to the issuance of 13.2 million of repurchased
shares in connection with the Quaker merger. Year-to-date comparable net
income increased 15% and the related net income per common share increased 13%.
These increases primarily reflect increased operating profit, lower net interest
expense and a lower effective tax rate. The increase in net income per common
share also reflects the negative impact of a 1.2% increase in shares outstanding
primarily related to the issuance of 13.2 million of repurchased shares in
connection with the Quaker merger. -22- Analysis of Business Segments Worldwide Snacks Volume growth is reported on a systemwide basis which includes joint ventures. Frito-Lay North America 12 Weeks Net sales grew 7% due to higher effective net pricing and increased volume. Pound volume advanced 3%
primarily due to growth from the introduction of our new Lays Bistro
gourmet potato chips, double-digit growth in Fritos brand corn chips and
single-digit growth in Lays brand potato chips and Cheetos brand cheese
puffs. These gains were partially offset by a single-digit decline in Ruffles
brand potato chips. Operating profit increased
10% primarily reflecting the higher effective net pricing and increased volume,
partially offset by higher advertising and marketing expenses. Advertising and
marketing expenses grew at a faster rate than sales due primarily to increased
promotional allowances. 36 Weeks Net sales grew 6% due to higher effective net pricing and increased volume. Pound volume advanced 2%
primarily due to single-digit growth in Lays brand potato chips and
Cheetos brand cheese puffs, the introduction of our new Lays Bistro
gourmet potato chips and growth in Doritos brand tortilla chips. These gains
were partially offset by a double-digit decline in Ruffles brand potato chips. Operating profit increased
9% primarily reflecting the higher effective net pricing and increased volume,
partially offset by increased advertising and marketing expenses and higher
energy costs. Advertising and marketing expenses grew at a faster rate than
sales due primarily to increased promotional allowances. -23- Frito-Lay International 12 Weeks Net sales increased 8%, primarily driven by Sabritas and Gamesa in Mexico, the U.K. and Poland. Acquisitions contributed 1
percentage point of growth. The net impact of weaker foreign currencies, primarily in Brazil and in the U.K., decreased net sales
growth by 3 percentage points. Kilo volume increased 9%,
primarily driven by a 12% increase in salty snack kilos and a 5% increase in
sweet snack kilos. The salty snack growth was led by double-digit growth in
Brazil and at our European joint venture and strong single-digit growth at
Walkers in the U.K. The European salty volume growth reflected the impact of
promotional programs. The sweet snack increase was attributable to growth at
Gamesa and Sabritas. Acquisitions contributed 1 percentage point of growth. Operating profit increased
13%, led by double-digit growth at Sabritas and in the U.K. The net impact of
weaker foreign currencies, primarily in the U.K. and Brazil, decreased operating
profit growth by nearly 2 percentage points. 36 Weeks Net sales increased 6%,
primarily driven by Sabritas and Gamesa in Mexico, Poland and the U.K.
Acquisitions contributed 1 percentage point of growth. The net impact of weaker
foreign currencies, primarily in the U.K., Brazil and Australia, decreased net
sales growth by 4 percentage points. Kilo volume increased 8%,
primarily driven by a 9% increase in salty snack kilos and a 6% increase in
sweet snack kilos. The salty snack growth was led by double-digit growth at our
European joint venture, Brazil and Poland and single-digit growth at Walkers in
the U.K., partially offset by a single-digit decline at Sabritas. European
volume growth was largely driven by promotional programs. The sweet snack
increase was attributable to growth at Gamesa and Sabritas. The impact from
acquisitions contributed 1 percentage point of growth. Operating profit increased
18%, led by the strong performances at Sabritas, in Poland and at Walkers and
increased equity income from our European joint venture. The net impact of
weaker foreign currencies, primarily in the U.K., decreased operating profit
growth by nearly 3 percentage points. -24- Worldwide Beverages Bottler case sales (BCS)
represents PepsiCo-owned brands as well as brands that we have been granted the
right to produce, distribute and market and are based on system bottlers
sales. Third quarter BCS includes
the months of June, July and August. Concentrate shipments and equivalents for
PCNA includes shipments of concentrate and finished goods to bottlers as well as
bottler case sales of Aquafina. Pepsi-Cola North America 12 Weeks Net sales increased 18%
primarily due to increased volume and higher effective net pricing. The
acquisition of SoBe and our new products, Dole, Mountain Dew Code Red and Sierra
Mist drove the volume growth. SoBe and Dole are sold as finished product to our
bottling system. Accordingly, net sales growth was accelerated due to their
significantly higher price per unit. The SoBe acquisition contributed 7
percentage points to net sales growth. Concentrate shipments and
equivalents increased approximately 4% driven by Sierra Mist, strong
double-digit growth in Aquafina, and mid single-digit growth in Mountain Dew
reflecting the introduction of Code Red, as well as the acquisition of SoBe and
launch of Dole. These gains were partially offset by a low single-digit decline
in trademark Pepsi and a double-digit decline in Lemon-Lime Slice. BCS volume
increased over 4%. The acquisition of SoBe contributed 1 percentage point to
both concentrate shipments and equivalents and BCS growth. Operating profit increased
13% primarily due to the increased volume and higher concentrate pricing. These
gains were partially offset by higher advertising and marketing and general and
administrative expenses. Excluding SoBe, advertising and marketing expenses grew
at a significantly slower rate than sales while general and administrative
expenses grew at a significantly faster rate. The SoBe acquisition reduced
operating profit growth by 7 percentage points. -25- 36 Weeks Net sales increased 20%
primarily due to increased volume and higher effective net pricing. The
acquisition of SoBe and our new products, Dole, Sierra Mist and Mountain Dew
Code Red, drove the volume growth. These gains were partially offset by
increased customer support. The SoBe acquisition contributed 7 percentage points
to net sales growth. Concentrate shipments and
equivalents increased 5% driven primarily by Sierra Mist, mid single-digit
growth in Mountain Dew reflecting the introduction of Code Red, strong
double-digit growth in Aquafina, as well as the acquisition of SoBe and launch
of Dole. These gains were partially offset by a low single-digit decline in
trademark Pepsi and a double-digit decline in Lemon-Lime Slice. BCS volume
increased 4%. The acquisition of SoBe contributed 1 percentage point to both
concentrate shipments and equivalents and BCS growth. Operating profit increased
13% primarily due to the increased volume and higher concentrate pricing. These
gains were partially offset by the increased advertising and marketing expenses
related to bottler funding and other programs, general and administrative
expenses and the increased customer support. Excluding SoBe, advertising and
marketing expenses grew at a slower rate than sales and general and
administrative expenses grew at faster rate. The SoBe acquisition reduced
operating profit growth by 2 percentage points. Gatorade/Tropicana North America 12 Weeks Net sales increased 7% due to volume gains and higher effective
net pricing of Gatorade. Volume grew 5%, led by growth of Gatorade driven by three new
flavors and double-digit growth of Tropicana Pure Premium nutritionals. Operating profit increased by 10% reflecting the volume gains and higher effective net pricing, partially offset by higher
advertising and marketing expenses due to promotional allowances and higher manufacturing and packaging costs. 36 Weeks Net sales increased 8% due to volume gains and higher effective
net pricing of Gatorade. Volume grew 5%, led by growth of three new Gatorade flavors and
double-digit growth of Tropicana Pure Premium nutritionals. -26- Operating profit increased 7% due to the volume gains and higher
effective net pricing, partially offset by higher advertising and marketing expenses due to
promotional allowances and higher manufacturing costs, primarily energy and packaging costs. PepsiCo Beverages International 12 Weeks Net sales increased 1%
primarily due to volume gains and higher effective net pricing, partially offset
by a net unfavorable foreign currency impact. The net unfavorable foreign
currency impact, primarily in Europe and Egypt, reduced net sales growth by 4
percentage points. Volume increased 5% due to
broad-based increases led by Russia. These increases were partially offset by
declines in Saudi Arabia, resulting from price increases, and in Turkey due to
macro economic conditions. For June through August, total concentrate shipments
to franchisees, including those bottlers in which we own an equity interest,
grew 2% while their BCS grew at a slightly higher rate. Operating profit increased
15% primarily due to the increased volume and a favorable advertising and
marketing expense comparison, partially offset by a net unfavorable foreign
currency impact. The net unfavorable foreign currency impact reduced operating
profit growth by 7 percentage points. 36 Weeks Net sales increased 2%.
This increase was primarily due to volume gains, partially offset by a net
unfavorable foreign currency impact. The net unfavorable foreign currency
impact, primarily in Europe and Egypt, reduced net sales growth by 4 percentage
points. Volume increased 5% due to
broad-based increases led by Russia, China and Brazil. These increases were
partially offset by pricing related declines in Mexico and Saudi Arabia and a
decline in Turkey due to macro economic conditions. Through August, total
concentrate shipments to franchisees, including those bottlers in which we own
an equity interest, grew 4% while their BCS grew at about the same rate. Operating profit increased
29% primarily reflecting the volume gains and higher effective net pricing,
partially offset by a net unfavorable foreign currency impact. The net
unfavorable foreign currency impact reduced operating profit growth by 10
percentage points. -27- Quaker Foods North America 12 Weeks Net sales increased 4% primarily due to higher volume and higher
effective net pricing. Volume increased 1%
primarily driven by growth in hot cereals and ready-to-eat cereals, partially
offset by declines in flavored rice and pasta. The hot cereals growth resulted
primarily from new products and flavor varieties. Operating profit increased
6% reflecting the higher volume and higher effective net pricing, partially
offset by higher advertising and marketing expenses. Advertising and marketing
expenses increased at a faster rate than sales. 36 Weeks Net sales increased 3% primarily due to higher volume and
higher effective net pricing. Volume increased 2%
primarily driven by growth in hot cereals. The hot cereals growth resulted
primarily from new products and flavor varieties. Operating profit increased
5% reflecting the higher volume and higher effective net pricing, partially
offset by higher advertising and marketing expenses. Advertising and marketing
expenses grew at about the same rate as net sales. Cash Flows Our 2001 cash and cash
equivalents decreased $578 million to $460 million. This decrease primarily
reflects net purchases of short-term investments, dividend payments, capital
spending, the acquisition of SoBe and net debt payments, partially funded by
operating income and the proceeds from the issuance of shares in connection with
the merger with Quaker and the exercise of stock options. Liquidity and Capital Resources Our strong cash-generating
capability and financial condition give us ready access to capital markets
throughout the world. -28- During the quarter, we
cancelled $500 million of our existing revolving credit facilities. As of
September 8, 2001, we maintain $750 million of these facilities. Of the $750
million, approximately $375 million will expire in June 2002 with the balance
expiring in June 2006. At expiration, these facilities can be extended an
additional year upon the mutual consent of PepsiCo and the lending institutions.
The credit facilities exist largely to support issuances of short-term debt. In April 2001, we issued
13.2 million shares of our repurchased common stock to qualify for
pooling-of-interests accounting treatment in connection with our merger with The
Quaker Oats Company. We received $524 million in net proceeds. We have identified ongoing
merger-related cost savings and revenue enhancement opportunities that are
expected to reach $400 million a year by 2005. Synergies expected to be achieved
by the end of 2002 approximate $140 to $175 million. We have incurred
approximately $117 million of transaction costs to complete the Quaker merger
and expect to incur a total of approximately $450 to $550 million of additional
costs to integrate the two companies. The substantial portion of these costs is
expected to be cash and will be paid over a two-year period from the
consummation of the merger. Subsequent to the quarter,
we contributed $421 million to our U.S. pension plans compared to a contribution
of $75 million in 2000. This payment was made following a review of our
anticipated future sources and uses of cash. We do not expect to make a cash
contribution to our U.S. pension plans in 2002. Additionally, subsequent to
the quarter, we repurchased 35.4 million shares of our common stock at a cost of
$1.7 billion under the emergency and exemptive orders from the Securities and
Exchange Commission aimed at facilitating the reopening of the U.S. equities
market on September 17, 2001, following the September 11th terrorist attacks.
Our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $2 billion worth of
our common stock during the terms of the orders. Repurchases under the orders
did not compromise our ability to account for the merger with Quaker as a
pooling-of-interests. Euro Conversion On January 1, 1999, member
countries of the European Union fixed conversion rates between their existing
currencies (legacy currencies) and one common currency-the euro. The euro trades
on currency exchanges and is used in business transactions. Conversion to the
euro eliminated currency exchange rate risk between the member countries.
Beginning in January 2002, new euro-denominated bills and coins will be issued,
and legacy currencies will be withdrawn from circulation. Our operating
subsidiaries affected by the euro conversion are executing plans to address the
issues raised by the euro currency conversion. These issues include, among
others, the need to adapt computer and financial systems, business processes and
equipment, such as vending machines, to accommodate euro-denominated
transactions and the impact of one common currency on pricing. Since financial
systems and processes currently accommodate multiple currencies, the plans
contemplate conversion by the end of 2001 if not already addressed in
conjunction with other system or process initiatives. The system and equipment
conversion costs are not material. Due to numerous uncertainties, we cannot
reasonably estimate the long-term effects one common currency will have on
pricing and the resulting impact, if any, on financial condition or results of
operations. -29- Independent Accountants' Review Report The Board of Directors We have reviewed the
accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of PepsiCo, Inc. and
Subsidiaries as of September 8, 2001 and the related condensed consolidated
statements of income and comprehensive income for the twelve and thirty-six
weeks ended September 8, 2001 and September 2, 2000 and the condensed
consolidated statement of cash flows for the thirty-six weeks ended September 8,
2001 and September 2, 2000. These condensed consolidated financial statements
are the responsibility of PepsiCo, Inc.s management. We conducted our review in
accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists
principally of applying analytical review procedures to financial data and
making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It
is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression
of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly,
we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are
not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed
consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have previously audited,
in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America, the consolidated balance sheet of PepsiCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of
December 30, 2000, and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows
and common shareholders equity for the year then ended not presented
herein; and in our report dated August 20, 2001 which appears in the Current
Report on Form 8-K of PepsiCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries dated August 27, 2001, we
expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In
our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheet as of December 30, 2000 is fairly presented, in all
material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it
has been derived. KPMG LLP New York, New York -30- PART II - OTHER INFORMATION AND SIGNATAURES -31- Pursuant to the requirement
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed
on its behalf by the undersigned. -32- INDEX TO EXHIBITS ITEM 6 (a) EXHIBITS Exhibit 12
