Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis Of Presentation and Our Divisions

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation and Our Divisions

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and 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. As a result of exchange restrictions and other operating restrictions, we do not have control over our Venezuelan subsidiaries. As such, our Venezuelan subsidiaries are not included within our consolidated financial results for any period presented.

Raw materials, direct labor and plant overhead, as well as purchasing and receiving costs, costs directly related to production planning, inspection costs and raw materials handling facilities, are included in cost of sales. The costs of moving, storing and delivering finished product, including merchandising activities, are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements 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, share-based compensation, pension and retiree medical accruals, amounts and useful lives for intangible assets and future cash flows associated with impairment testing for indefinite-lived 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.

Our fiscal year ends on the last Saturday of each December, resulting in an additional week of results every five or six years. While our North America results are reported on a weekly calendar basis, substantially all of our international operations report on a monthly calendar basis. Certain operations in our Europe segment report on a weekly calendar basis. The following chart details our quarterly reporting schedule for the three years presented:

Quarter	United States and Canada	International
First Quarter	12 weeks	January, February
Second Quarter	12 weeks	March, April and May
Third Quarter	12 weeks	June, July and August
Fourth Quarter	16 weeks	September, October, November and December

Unless otherwise noted, tabular dollars are in millions, except per share amounts. All per share amounts reflect common per share amounts, assume dilution unless otherwise noted, and are based on unrounded amounts. Certain reclassifications were made to the prior years’ consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

Our Divisions

During the fourth quarter of 2019, we realigned our ESSA and AMENA reportable segments to be consistent

with a recent strategic realignment of our organizational structure and how our Chief Executive Officer assesses the performance of, and allocates resources to, our reportable segments. As a result, our beverage, food and snack businesses in North Africa, the Middle East and South Asia that were part of our former AMENA segment and our businesses in Sub-Saharan Africa that were part of our former ESSA segment are now reported together as our AMESA segment. The remaining beverage, food and snack businesses that were part of our former AMENA segment are now reported together as our APAC segment and our beverage, food and snack businesses in Europe are now reported as our Europe segment.

These changes did not impact our FLNA, QFNA, PBNA or LatAm reportable segments or our consolidated financial results.

Our historical segment reporting presented in this report has been retrospectively revised to reflect the new organizational structure.

We are organized into seven reportable segments (also referred to as divisions), as follows:

1) FLNA, which includes our branded food and snack businesses in the United States and Canada;

2) QFNA, which includes our cereal, rice, pasta and other branded food businesses in the United States and Canada;

3) PBNA, which includes our beverage businesses in the United States and Canada;

4) LatAm, which includes all of our beverage, food and snack businesses in Latin America;

5) Europe, which includes all of our beverage, food and snack businesses in Europe;

6) AMESA, which includes all of our beverage, food and snack businesses in Africa, the Middle East and South Asia; and

7) APAC, which includes all of our beverage, food and snack businesses in Asia Pacific, Australia and New Zealand and China region.

Through our operations, authorized bottlers, contract manufacturers and other third parties, we make, market, distribute and sell a wide variety of convenient beverages, foods and snacks, serving customers and consumers in more than 200 countries and territories with our largest operations in the United States, Mexico, Russia, Canada, the United Kingdom, China and Brazil.

The accounting policies for the divisions are the same as those described in Note 2, except for the following allocation methodologies:

• share-based compensation expense;

• pension and retiree medical expense; and

• derivatives.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

Our divisions are held accountable for share-based compensation expense and, therefore, this expense is allocated to our divisions as an incremental employee compensation cost.

The allocation of share-based compensation expense of each division is as follows:

	2019		2018		2017
FLNA	13	%	13	%	13	%
QFNA	1	%	1	%	1	%
PBNA	17	%	18	%	18	%
LatAm	7	%	8	%	7	%
Europe	17	%	9	%	9	%
AMESA	3	%	4	%	5	%
APAC	5	%	4	%	4	%
Corporate unallocated expenses	37	%	43	%	43	%

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 fixed discount rates are reflected in division results. The variance between the fixed discount rate used to determine the service cost reflected in division results and the discount rate as disclosed in Note 7 is reflected in corporate unallocated expenses.

Derivatives

We centrally manage commodity derivatives on behalf of our divisions. These commodity derivatives include energy, agricultural products and metals. Commodity derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment 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 operating profit. Therefore, the divisions realize the economic effects of the derivative without experiencing any resulting mark-to-market volatility, which remains in corporate unallocated expenses. These derivatives hedge underlying commodity price risk and were not entered into for trading or speculative purposes.

Net revenue and operating profit of each division are as follows:

	Net Revenue						Operating Profit
	2019(a)		2018(a)		2017		2019			2018			2017
FLNA	$	17,078	$	16,346	$	15,798	$	5,258		$	5,008		$	4,793
QFNA	2,482		2,465		2,503		544			637			640
PBNA	21,730		21,072		20,936		2,179			2,276			2,700
LatAm	7,573		7,354		7,208		1,141			1,049			924

APAC	2,919		2,794		2,884		477			619			401
Total division	67,161		64,661		63,525		11,597			11,506			11,446
Corporate unallocated expenses	—		—		—		(1,306		)	(1,396		)	(1,170		)
Total	$	67,161	$	64,661	$	63,525	$	10,291		$	10,110		$	10,276

(a) Our primary performance obligation is the distribution and sales of beverage products and food and snack products to our customers, with our food and snack business representing approximately 55% of our consolidated net revenue. Internationally, LatAm’s food and snack business is approximately 90% of the segment’s net revenue, Europe’s beverage business and food and snack business are approximately 55% and 45%, respectively, of the segment’s net revenue, AMESA’s beverage business and food and snack business are approximately 40% and 60%, respectively, of the segment’s net revenue and APAC’s beverage business and food and snack business are approximately 25% and 75%, respectively, of the segment’s net revenue. Beverage revenue from company-owned bottlers, which primarily includes our consolidated bottling operations in our PBNA and Europe segments, is approximately 40% of our consolidated net revenue. Generally, our

finished goods beverage operations produce higher net revenue, but lower operating margins as compared to concentrate sold to authorized bottling partners for the manufacture of finished goods beverages. See Note 2 for further information.

Corporate Unallocated Expenses

Corporate unallocated expenses include costs of our corporate headquarters, centrally managed initiatives such as commodity derivative gains and losses, foreign exchange transaction gains and losses, our ongoing business transformation initiatives, unallocated research and development costs, unallocated insurance and benefit programs, and certain other items.
