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.
PART I
Item 1. Business.
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.

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, Duyvis, Elma Chips, Emperador, Frito-Lay, Fritos, Fruktovy Sad, Frustyle, Gatorade, G2, G Series, Grandma’s, Imunele, Izze, Kurkure, Lay’s, Life, Lubimy Sad, Manzanita Sol, Marias Gamesa, Matutano, Mirinda, Miss Vickie’s, Mother’s, Mountain Dew, Mountain Dew Code Red, Mountain Dew Kickstart, Mug, Munchies, Naked, Near East, O.N.E., Paso de los Toros, Pasta Roni, Pepsi, Pepsi Max, Pepsi Next, Propel, Quaker, Quaker Chewy, Rice-A-Roni, Rold Gold, Rosquinhas Mabel, Ruffles, Sabritas, Sakata, Saladitas, Sandora, Santitas, 7UP (outside the United States) and 7UP Free (outside the United States), Sierra Mist, Simba, Smartfood, Smith’s, Snack a Jacks, SoBe, SoBe Lifewater, SoBe V Water, Sonric’s, Stacy’s, Sting, 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., Mondelēz 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.

(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.
7
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 –
8
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 Foods, Inc., DPSG, Kellogg Company, Kraft Foods Group, Inc., Mondelēz International, Inc., Monster 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.

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.”

Our discussion and analysis is an integral part of our consolidated financial statements and is provided as an addition to, and should be read in connection with, our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Definitions of key terms can be found in the glossary beginning on page 119. Tabular dollars are presented 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. Percentage changes are based on unrounded amounts.
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.
35
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 Group, Inc., Mondelēz 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 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.
40
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:
2014 | 2013 | ||||
Fixed income | 40 | % | 40 | % | |
U.S. equity | 33 | % | 33 | % | |
International equity | 22 | % | 22 | % | |
Real estate | 5 | % | 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:
2014 | 2013 | 2012 | ||||||
Pension | ||||||||
Expense discount rate | 5.0 | % | 4.2 | % | 4.6 | % | ||
Expected rate of return on plan assets | 7.3 | % | 7.5 | % | 7.6 | % | ||
Expected rate of salary increases | 3.7 | % | 3.7 | % | 3.8 | % | ||
Retiree medical | ||||||||
Expense discount rate | 4.6 | % | 3.7 | % | 4.4 | % | ||
Expected rate of return on plan assets | 7.5 | % | 7.8 | % | 7.8 | % | ||
Current health care cost trend rate | 6.4 | % | 6.6 | % | 6.8 | % | ||
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 | Amount | |
Discount rate | $64 million | |
Expected rate of return | $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.

2013
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.

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.”

2013
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.

2013
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.

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 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.

2013
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.
62
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:
2013 | 2012 | 2011 | |||||||||
Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 9,688 | $ | 8,479 | $ | 8,944 | |||||
Net cash used for investing activities | $ | (2,625 | ) | $ | (3,005 | ) | $ | (5,618 | ) | ||

Operating Activities
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:
Quarter | U.S. 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 | ||

See “Our Divisions” below, and for additional unaudited information on items affecting the comparability 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.

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.

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.
A summary of our 2014 Productivity Plan charges in 2013 is as follows:

2012 Productivity Plan
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.

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 | Years Open to Audit | Years Currently Under Audit | ||
United States | 2010-2012 | 2010-2011 | ||
Mexico | 2008-2012 | None | ||
United Kingdom | 2012 | None | ||
Canada (Domestic) | 2009-2012 | 2009-2010 | ||
Canada (International) | 2008-2012 | 2008-2010 | ||
Russia | 2009-2012 | 2009-2012 | ||
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.

Carryforwards and Allowances
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.

Method of Accounting and Our Assumptions
We account for our employee stock options under the fair value method of accounting using a Black-Scholes valuation model to measure stock 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:
2013 | 2012 | 2011 | ||||||
Expected life | 6 years | 6 years | 6 years | |||||
Risk-free interest rate | 1.1 | % | 1.3 | % | 2.5 | % | ||
Expected volatility | 17 | % | 17 | % | 16 | % | ||
Expected dividend yield | 2.7 | % | 3.0 | % | 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.

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:
2014 | 2013 | ||||
Fixed income | 40 | % | 40 | % | |
U.S. equity | 33 | % | 33 | % | |
International equity | 22 | % | 22 | % | |
Real estate | 5 | % | 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.
96
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.

Plan assets measured at fair value as of fiscal year-end 2013 and 2012 are categorized consistently by level in both years, and are as follows:

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:
1% Increase | 1% Decrease | ||||||
2013 service and interest cost components | $ | 4 | $ | (3 | ) | ||
2013 benefit liability | $ | 39 | $ | (34 | ) | ||
Savings Plan
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.

The interest rates in the above table reflect weighted-average rates at year-end.
In the first quarter of 2013, we issued:
• | $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.
100
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.
Long-Term Contractual Commitments (a)

(b) | Excludes $2,224 million related to current maturities of long-term debt, $237 million related to the fair value step-up of debt acquired in connection with our acquisitions of PBG and PAS and $218 million related to the increase in carrying value of long-term debt representing the gains on our fair value interest rate swaps. |
(c) | Interest payments on floating-rate debt are estimated using interest rates effective as of December 28, 2013. |
(d) | Primarily reflects non-cancelable commitments as of December 28, 2013. |
Most long-term contractual commitments, except for our long-term debt obligations, are not recorded on our balance sheet. Operating leases primarily represent building leases. Non-cancelable purchasing commitments 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.

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.

Note 15 — Acquisitions and Divestitures
WBD
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.
109
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.

Management’s Responsibility for Financial Reporting
To Our Shareholders:
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.

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.

EXHIBIT 10.77
DECEMBER 2013 AMENDMENT TO THE
PEPSICO PENSION EQUALIZATION PLAN DOCUMENT
The PepsiCo Pension Equalization Plan (“PEP”) is hereby amended, effective January 1, 2013, unless otherwise provided herein, as follows:
I.
The main plan document for the PEP 409A program is amended as follows:
1. Section 2.1(b)(2) is amended to read in its entirety as follows:
(2) Lump Sums: To determine the lump sum value of a Pension, a Pre-Retirement Spouse’s Pension under Section 4.6, or a Pre-Retirement Domestic Partner’s Pension under Section 4.12, the factors applicable for such purposes under the Salaried Plan shall apply.
2. A new subsection 2.1(m) is inserted (and the existing subsection 2.1(m) and subsections following such subsection redesignated accordingly) to read in its entirety as follows:
(m) Eligible Domestic Partner: Solely with respect to a Participant who was actively employed by or on an Authorized Leave of Absence from a member of the PepsiCo Organization on or after January 1, 2013, Eligible Domestic Partner means: (i) if the Participant, on the earlier of the date of his or her death and his or her Annuity Starting Date, resides in a state that permits same-sex couples to marry or enter into civil unions (or recognizes same-sex marriage or civil unions entered into in another state), the individual with whom the Participant has entered into such a validly recognized relationship which was in effect on the earlier of the date of the Participant’s death and the Participant’s Annuity Starting Date; or (ii) if the Participant resides, on the earlier of the date of his or her death and his or her Annuity Starting Date, in a state that does not permit same-sex couples to marry or enter into civil unions (nor recognizes same-sex marriages or civil unions entered into in another state), the individual with whom the Participant has executed a legally binding domestic partner agreement meeting the requirements set forth in writing by the Company with respect to eligibility for domestic partner benefits which is valid and in effect on such date. The term “Eligible Domestic Partner” does not include (i) an Eligible Spouse (e.g., if a Participant has a same-sex Eligible Spouse, such Eligible Spouse is not also considered an Eligible Domestic Partner within the meaning of this Plan) or (ii) any individual who is of the opposite sex of the Participant.
3. Subsection 2.1(n) is amended to read in its entirety as follows:
(n) Eligible Spouse: The spouse of a Participant to whom the Participant is considered lawfully married for purposes of Federal tax law on the earlier of the Participant’s Annuity Starting Date or the date of the Participant’s death and who, solely for periods before September 16, 2013, is of the opposite sex.
4. A new subsection 2.1(hh) is hereby inserted (and the existing subsection 2.1(gg) (subsection (hh) as renumbered above) and subsections following such subsection redesignated accordingly) to read in its entirety as follows:
(hh) Pre-Retirement Domestic Partner’s Pension: The Pension available to an Eligible Domestic Partner under the Plan. The term “Pre-Retirement Domestic Partner’s 409A Pension” shall be used to refer to the Pension available to an Eligible Domestic Partner under Section 4.12 of this document.
5. The first sentence of Section 2.1(jj)(1) (as renumbered in accordance with the above) is amended to read in its entirety as follows:
For purposes of determining the amount of a Retirement, Vested, Pre-Retirement Spouse’s Pension, or Pre-Retirement Domestic Partner’s Pension, the Primary Social Security Amount shall be the estimated monthly amount that may be payable to a Participant commencing at age 65 as an old-age insurance benefit under the provisions of Title II of the Social Security Act, as amended.
6. The first sentence of Section 3.2 is amended to read in its entirety as follows:
A Participant’s entitlement to a Pension or, in the event the Participant dies before commencing a benefit hereunder, either a Pre-Retirement Spouse’s Pension for his Eligible Spouse or Pre-Retirement Domestic Partner’s Pension for his Eligible Domestic Partner, shall be determined under Article IV based upon his period of Service.
7. The first sentence of Section 3.3 is amended to read in its entirety as follows:
Subject to the next two sentences, the amount of a Participant’s Pension and a Pre-Retirement Spouse’s Pension or a Pre-Retirement Domestic Partner’s Pension shall be based upon the Participant’s period of Credited Service, as determined under Article III of the Salaried Plan.
8. Section 4.9 is amended to add a new subsection (d) to read in its entirety as follows:
(d) Distribution of Pre-Retirement Domestic Partner’s Pension Benefit. If at the time payments are to commence to an Eligible Domestic Partner under Section 4.12, the Actuarial Equivalent lump sum value of the Pre-Retirement Domestic Partner’s 409A Pension to be paid is equal to or less than the Cashout Limit, the Plan Administrator shall distribute to the Eligible Domestic Partner such Actuarial Equivalent lump sum value of the Pre-Retirement Domestic Partner’s Pension that is subject to Section 409A.
9. The last paragraph of Section 4.9 is amended to read in its entirety as follows:
Any lump sum distributed under this section shall be in lieu of the Pension that otherwise would be distributable to the Participant, Eligible Spouse or Eligible Domestic Partner hereunder. The cashout provisions described in subsections (a) through (d) above are intended to be “limited cashout” features within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(j)(4)(v), and they shall be interpreted and applied consistently with this regulation. Accordingly in determining if an applicable dollar limit is satisfied, a Participant’s entire benefit under this Plan that is subject to Section 409A and all benefits subject to Section 409A under all other nonaccount balance plans (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(c)(2)(i)(C)) shall be taken into account (the “accountable benefit”), and a Participant’s entire accountable benefit must be cashed out as of the time in question as a condition to any payout under this Section. In addition, a cashout under
2
this Section shall not cause an accountable benefit to be paid out before completing any applicable six-month delay (see, e.g., Section 6.6). No Participant, Eligible Spouse or Eligible Domestic Partner shall be given a direct or indirect election with respect to whether the Participant’s Vested Pension, the Pre-Retirement Spouse’s 409A Pension or the Pre-Retirement Domestic Partner’s 409A Pension will be cashed out under this section.
10. A new Section 4.12 is inserted to read in its entirety as follows:
4.12 Pre-Retirement Domestic Partner’s 409A Pension: A Pre-Retirement Domestic Partner’s 409A Pension is payable under this section only in the event the Participant dies prior to his Annuity Starting Date under either the 409A Program or the Pre-409A Program. Any Pre-Retirement Domestic Partner’s 409A Pension payable on behalf of a Participant shall commence on the first day of the month following the later of (i) the Participant’s death and, (ii) the date the Participant attains or would have attained age 55. Subject to Section 4.9, any Pre-Retirement Domestic Partner’s 409A Pension shall continue monthly for the life of the Eligible Domestic Partner.
(a) Active, Disabled and Retired Employees: A Pre-Retirement Domestic Partner’s 409A Pension shall be payable under this subsection to a Participant’s Eligible Domestic Partner (if any) who is entitled under the Salaried Plan to the pre-retirement domestic partner’s pension for survivors of active, disabled and retired employees. The amount (if any) of such Pension shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.8 (with the 409A Pension, if any, determined after application of Section 5.6).
(b) Vested Employees: A Pre-Retirement Domestic Partner’s 409A Pension shall be payable under this subsection to a Participant’s Eligible Domestic Partner (if any) who is entitled under the Salaried Plan to the pre-retirement domestic partner’s pension for survivors of vested terminated Employees. The amount (if any) of such Pension shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.8 (with the 409A Pension, if any, determined after application of Section 5.6). If, pursuant to this Section 4.12(b), a Participant has Pre-Retirement Domestic Partner’s Pension coverage in effect for his Eligible Domestic Partner, any Pension calculated for the Participant under Section 5.2(b) shall be reduced for each year such coverage is in effect by the applicable percentage set forth below (based on the Participant’s age at the time the coverage is in effect) with a pro rata reduction for any portion of a year. No reduction shall be made for coverage in effect within the 180-day period following a Participant’s termination of employment.
Attained Age | Annual Charge |
Up to 35 | .0% |
35-39 | .075% |
40-44 | .1% |
45-49 | .175% |
50-54 | .3% |
55-59 | .5% |
60-64 | .5% |
11. | Section 5.2(b)(2)(i) and (ii) is amended to read in its entirety to read as follows: |
3
(2) Calculation: The amount of the PEP Guarantee shall be determined pursuant to paragraph (1) above, subject to the following special rules:
(i) Surviving Eligible Spouse’s or Eligible Domestic Partner’s Annuity: Subject to subparagraph (iii) below and the last sentence of this subparagraph, if the Participant has an Eligible Spouse or Eligible Domestic Partner, the Participant’s Eligible Spouse or Eligible Domestic Partner shall be entitled to receive a survivor annuity equal to 50 percent of the Participant’s Annuity under this section, with no corresponding reduction in such Annuity for the Participant. Annuity payments to a surviving Eligible Spouse or Eligible Domestic Partner shall begin on the first day of the month coincident with or following the Participant’s death and shall end with the last monthly payment due prior to the Eligible Spouse’s or Eligible Domestic Partner’s death. If the Eligible Spouse or Eligible Domestic Partner is more than 10 years younger than the Participant, the survivor benefit payable under this subparagraph shall be adjusted as provided below.
(A) For each full year more than 10 but less than 21 that the surviving Eligible Spouse or Eligible Domestic Partner is younger than the Participant, the survivor benefit payable to such spouse shall be reduced by 0.8 percent.
(B) For each full year more than 20 that the surviving Eligible Spouse or Eligible Domestic Partner is younger than the Participant, the survivor benefit payable to such spouse shall be reduced by an additional 0.4 percent.
(ii) Reductions: The following reductions shall apply in determining a Participant’s PEP Guarantee.
(A) If the Participant will receive an Early Retirement Pension, the payment amount shall be reduced by 3/12ths of 1 percent for each month by which the benefit commencement date precedes the date the Participant would attain his Normal Retirement Date.
(B) If the Participant is entitled to a Vested Pension, the payment amount shall be reduced to the actuarial equivalent of the amount payable at his Normal Retirement Date (if payment commences before such date), and the Section 4.6(b) reductions for any Pre-Retirement Spouse’s coverage and Section 4.12(b) reductions for any Pre-Retirement Domestic Partner’s coverage shall apply.
(C) This clause applies if the Participant will receive his Pension in a form that provides an Eligible Spouse or Eligible Domestic Partner benefit, continuing for the life of the surviving spouse or surviving domestic partner, that is greater than that provided under subparagraph (i). In this instance, the Participant’s Pension under this section shall be reduced so that the total value of the benefit payable on the Participant’s behalf is the actuarial equivalent of the Pension otherwise payable under the foregoing provisions of this section.
4
(D) This clause applies if the Participant will receive his Pension in a form that provides a survivor annuity for a beneficiary who is not his Eligible Spouse or Eligible Domestic Partner. In this instance, the Participant’s Pension under this section shall be reduced so that the total value of the benefit payable on the Participant’s behalf is the actuarial equivalent of a Single Life Annuity for the Participant’s life.
(E) This clause applies if the Participant will receive his Pension in an Annuity form that includes inflation protection described in Section 6.2(b). In this instance, the Participant’s Pension under this section shall be reduced so that the total value of the benefit payable on the Participant’s behalf is the actuarial equivalent of the elected Annuity without such protection.
12. A new Section 5.8 is inserted to read in its entirety as follows:
5.8 Amount of Pre-Retirement Domestic Partner’s Pension: The monthly amount of the Pre-Retirement Domestic Partner’s 409A Pension payable to a surviving Eligible Domestic Partner under Section 4.12 shall be determined under subsection (a) below.
(a) Calculation: An Eligible Domestic Partner’s Pre-Retirement Domestic Partner’s 409A Pension shall be equal to:
(1) The Eligible Domestic Partner’s Total Pre-Retirement Domestic Partner’s Pension, reduced by
(2) Each of the following that applies:
(i) The Eligible Domestic Partner’s Salaried Plan Pre-Retirement Domestic Partner’s Pension, and
(ii) If the Participant’s Annuity Starting Date occurred with respect to his 409A Pension prior to death, but not with respect to his Pre-409A Pension (or vice versa), the Eligible Domestic Partner’s Pre-Retirement Domestic Partner’s Pension that would have been payable if the Participant’s Annuity Starting Date for such benefit had not already occurred.
(b) Definitions: The following definitions apply for purposes of this section:
(1) An Eligible Domestic Partner’s “Total Pre-Retirement Domestic Partner’s Pension” means the greater of:
(i) amount of the Eligible Domestic Partner’s pre-retirement domestic partner’s pension determined under the terms of the Salaried Plan, but without regard to: (A) the limitations imposed by sections 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code (as such limitations are interpreted and applied under the Salaried Plan), and (B) the actuarial adjustment under Section 5.7(d) of Part B of the Salaried Plan, or
5
(ii) The amount (if any) of the Eligible Domestic Partner’s PEP Guarantee Pre-Retirement Domestic Partner’s 409A Pension determined under subsection (c).
In making this comparison, the benefits in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above shall be calculated as if payable as of what would be the Normal Retirement Date of the Participant related to the Eligible Domestic Partner.
(2) An “Eligible Domestic Partner’s Salaried Plan Pre-Retirement Domestic Partner’s Pension” means the Pre-Retirement Domestic Partner’s Pension that would be payable to the Eligible Domestic Partner under the terms of the Salaried Plan; provided that if such Salaried Plan benefit commenced prior to the date of commencement under this Plan, the amount of such pension shall be increased actuarially by the Plan Administrator to the date of commencement under this Plan.
(c) PEP Guarantee Pre-Retirement Domestic Partner’s Pension: An Eligible Domestic Partner’s PEP Guarantee Pre-Retirement Domestic Partner’s 409A Pension shall be determined in accordance with paragraph (1) or (2) below, whichever is applicable, with reference to the PEP Guarantee (if any) that would have been available to the Participant under Section 5.2.
(1) Normal Rule: The Pre-Retirement Domestic Partner’s 409A Pension payable under this paragraph shall be equal to the amount that would be payable as a survivor annuity, under a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity, if the Participant had:
(i) Separated from Service on the date of death (or, if earlier, his actual Separation from Service);
(ii) Commenced a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity on the same date payments of the Qualified Pre-Retirement Domestic Partner’s Pension are to commence; and
(iii) Died on the day immediately following such commencement.
(2) Special Rule for Active and Disabled Employees: Notwithstanding paragraph (1) above, the Pre‑Retirement Domestic Partner’s 409A Pension paid on behalf of a Participant described in Section 4.6(a) shall not be less than an amount equal to 25 percent of such Participant’s PEP Guarantee determined under Section 5.2. For this purpose, Credited Service shall be determined as provided in Section 3.3(d)(2) of the Salaried Plan, and the deceased Participant’s Highest Average Monthly Earnings, Primary Social Security Amount and Covered Compensation shall be determined as of his date of death. A Pre-Retirement Domestic Partner’s 409A Pension under this paragraph is not reduced for early commencement.
6
Principles similar to those applicable under - (i) Section 5.1(b), and (ii) the last sentence of Section 5.2(b)(2) shall apply in determining the Pre-Retirement Domestic Partner’s 409A Pension under this section.
13. The second sentence of the first paragraph of Article VI is amended to read in its entirety as follows:
A Pre-Retirement Spouse’s Pension or Pre-Retirement Domestic Partner’s Pension derived from the 409A Program shall be payable as an Annuity for the life of the Eligible Spouse or Eligible Domestic Partner, as applicable, in all cases, subject to Section 4.9 (cashout distributions).
14. Subsections 6.1(b) and (c) are amended to read in their entirety as follows:
(b) 409A Vested Pension: Subject to Section 4.9, Section 6.6 and subsection (c) below, a Participant’s 409A Vested Pension shall be distributed in accordance with paragraph (1) or (2) below, unless, in the case of a Participant who is married (as determined under the standards in paragraph 6.1(a)(2), above) or has an Eligible Domestic Partner on his Annuity Starting Date, he elects one of the optional forms of payment distributions in Section 6.2 in accordance with the election procedures in Section 6.3(a):
(1) Separation Prior to Age 55: In the case of a Participant who Separates from Service with at least five years of Service prior to attaining age 55, the Participant’s 409A Vested Pension shall be distributed as an Annuity commencing on the first of the month that is coincident with or immediately follows the date he attains age 55, which shall be the Annuity Starting Date of his 409A Vested Pension. A distribution under this subsection shall be in the form of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity if the Participant is married or as a Single Life Annuity if he is not married; provided that an unmarried Participant who has an Eligible Domestic Partner may elect a 50% Survivor Annuity or 75% Survivor Annuity with his Eligible Domestic Partner as his beneficiary as provided in Section 6.2. A Participant shall be considered married or to have a domestic partner for purposes of this paragraph if he is married or has an Eligible Domestic Partner on the Annuity Starting Date of his 409A Vested Pension.
(2) Separation at Ages 55 Through 64: In the case of a Participant who Separates from Service with at least five years but less than ten years of Service and on or after attaining age 55 but prior to attaining age 65, the Participant's 409A Vested Pension shall be distributed as an Annuity (as provided in paragraph (1) above) commencing on the first of the month that follows his Separation from Service.
(c) Disability Pension: The portion of a Participant's 409A Disability Pension representing Pre-Separation Accruals shall be paid on the first day of the month following the later of (i) the Participant's attainment of age 55 and (ii) the Participant's Separation from Service. The available forms of payment for the portion of a Participant's 409A Disability Pension representing Pre-Separation Accruals shall be those forms available to a Participant who is entitled to a Vested Pension, as set forth in Section 6.2, below (including the different forms available to a married Participant/Participant with a domestic partner versus a single Participant). The portion of a Participant's 409A Disability Pension
7
representing Post-LTD Accruals shall be paid on the first day of the month following the Participant's attainment of age 65 in a lump sum.
15. The first paragraph of subsection 6.2(a) is amended to read in its entirety as follows:
(a) Basic Forms: A Participant who is entitled to a Retirement Pension may choose one of the following optional forms of payment by making a valid election in accordance with the election procedures in Section 6.3(a). A Participant who is entitled to a Vested Pension and who is married on his Annuity Starting Date may choose one of the optional forms of payment available under paragraphs (1), 2(ii) or 2(iii) below with his Eligible Spouse as his beneficiary (and no other optional form of payment available under this subsection (a) shall be permitted to such a Participant). A Participant who is entitled to a Vested Pension who is not married and has an Eligible Domestic Partner on his Annuity Starting Date may choose one of the optional forms available under paragraphs 2(ii) or 2(iii) below with his Eligible Domestic Partner as his beneficiary (and no other optional forms of payment available under this subsection shall be permitted to such a Participant). A Participant who is entitled to a Vested Pension and who is not married and does not have an Eligible Domestic Partner on his Annuity Starting Date shall receive a Single Life Annuity. Each optional annuity is the actuarial equivalent of the Single Life Annuity:
16. Section 6.3 is amended by adding a new subsection (c) to read as follows:
(c) Determination of Marital Status. Effective January 1, 2014, in any case in which the form of payment of a Participant’s 409A Pension is determined by his marital status on his Annuity Starting Date, the Plan Administrator shall assume the Participant is unmarried on his Annuity Starting Date unless the Participant provides notice to the Plan prior to his Annuity Starting Date, which is deemed sufficient and satisfactory by the Plan Administrator, that he is married. The Participant shall give such notification to the Plan Administrator when he makes the election described in subsection (a) above or in accordance with such other procedures that are established by the Plan Administrator for this purpose (if any). Notwithstanding the two prior sentences, the Plan Administrator may adopt rules that provide for a different outcome than specified above.
17. Subsection 6.4(b) is amended to read in its entirety as follows:
(b) Non-Spouse Beneficiaries: If a Participant’s beneficiary is not his Eligible Spouse, he may not elect:
(1) The 100 percent survivor option described in Section 6.2(a)(2)(i) if his Eligible Domestic Partner or other non-spouse beneficiary is more than 10 years younger than he is, or
(2) The 75 percent survivor option described in Section 6.2(a)(2)(ii) if his Eligible Domestic Partner or other non-spouse beneficiary is more than 19 years younger than he is.
18. The last two sentences of Section 6.5 are amended to read in their entirety as follows:
If no beneficiary is properly designated and a Participant elects a survivor’s option described in Section 6.2(a)(2), the Participant’s beneficiary shall be his Eligible Spouse or Eligible
8
Domestic Partner, as applicable. A Participant entitled to a Vested Pension does not have the right or ability to name a beneficiary; if the Participant is permitted under Section 6.2 to elect an optional form of payment, then his beneficiary shall be his Eligible Spouse or Eligible Domestic Partner, as applicable, on his Annuity Starting Date.
19. Article X is amended by adding the following new paragraph at the end thereof:
In addition to the above, to the extent that lump sum termination benefits are paid under this Plan in connection with a severed employee’s Special Early Retirement (as defined in Appendix Article D) under a temporary severance program sponsored by the Company, this portion of the Plan shall be a component of the Company’s unfunded severance plan that includes the temporary program of severance benefits in question. As a component of a severance plan, the lump sum termination benefits are welfare benefits, and this portion is part of a “welfare benefit plan” under ERISA section 3(1). This severance plan component shall exist solely (i) for the duration of the temporary severance program in question, and (ii) for the purpose of paying severance benefits. As a portion of an ERISA welfare plan, any such temporary severance benefits hereunder shall not be subject to the reporting requirements for top hat plans under ERISA or any of the ERISA requirements for pension plans.
II.
The documents for the PEP 409A Program and Pre-409A Program are amended to read as follows:
1. | A new Section 7.5 is inserted (and the existing Sections 7.5 and 7.6 are renumbered accordingly), to read in its entirety as follows: |
7.5 Claimant Must Exhaust the Plan’s Claims Procedures Before Filing in Court. Before filing any Claim (including a suit or other action) in court or in another tribunal, a Claimant must first fully exhaust all of the Claimant’s rights under the claims procedures of Section 7.3.
(a) Upon review by any court or other tribunal, the exhaustion requirement of this Section 7.5 is intended to be interpreted to require exhaustion in as many circumstances as possible (and any steps necessary to clarify or effect this intent may be taken).
(b) In any action or consideration of a Claim in court or in another tribunal following exhaustion of the Plan’s claims procedure as described in this Section 7.5, the subsequent action or consideration shall be limited, to the maximum extent permissible, to the record that was before Plan Administrator in the claims procedure.
(c) The exhaustion requirement of this Section 7.5 shall apply: (i) regardless of whether other Disputes that are not Claims (including those that a court might consider at the same time) are of greater significance or relevance, (ii) to any rights the Plan Administrator may choose to provide in connection with novel Disputes or in particular situations, (iii) regardless of whether the rights are actual or potential and (iv) even if the Plan Administrator has not previously defined or established specific claims procedures that directly apply to the submission and consideration of such Claim (in which case the Plan Administrator (upon notice of the Claim) shall either promptly
9
establish such claims procedures or shall apply (or act by analogy to) the claims procedures of Section 7.5 that apply to claims for benefits).
(d) The Plan Administrator may make special arrangements to consider a Claim on a class basis or to address unusual conflicts concerns, and such minimum arrangements in these respects shall be made as are necessary to maximize the extent to which exhaustion is required.
(e) For purposes of this Section 7.5, the following definitions apply.
(i) A “Dispute” is any claim, dispute, issue, action or other matter.
(ii) A “Claim” is any Dispute that implicates in whole or in part any one or more of the following -
(A) The interpretation of the Plan;
(B) The interpretation of any term or condition of the Plan;
(C) The interpretation of the Plan (or any of its terms or conditions) in light of applicable law;
(D) Whether the Plan or any term or condition under the Plan has been validly adopted or put into effect;
(E) The administration of the Plan;
(F) Whether the Plan, in whole or in part, has violated any terms, conditions or requirements of ERISA or other applicable law or regulation, regardless of whether such terms, conditions or requirements are, in whole or in part, incorporated into the terms, conditions or requirements of the Plan;
(G) A request for Plan benefits or an attempt to recover Plan benefits;
(H) An assertion that any entity or individual has breached any fiduciary duty; or
(I) Any Claim that: (i) is deemed similar to any of the foregoing by the Plan Administrator, or (ii) relates to the Plan in any way.
(iii) A “Claimant” is any Employee, former Employee, Participant, former Participant, Beneficiary (or the spouse, former spouse, estate, heir or representative of any of the foregoing individuals), or any other individual, person, entity with a relationship to any of the foregoing individuals or the Plan, as well as any group of one or more of the foregoing, who has a Claim.
In connection with this amendment, the sentence in Section 7.3 that currently reads: “In addition, any such review shall be conditioned on the claimants having fully exhausted all
10
rights under this Section” shall be amended by adding at the end thereof “as is more fully explained in Section 7.5.” Existing Section 7.5 is renumbered Section 7.6, existing Section 7.6 is renumbered Section 7.7, and the reference in the existing Section 7.6 to “Section 7.5” is changed to “Section 7.6.”
III.
Appendix Article PBG 409A is amended as follows:
1. A new subsection 2.1(h) is inserted (and the existing subsection 2.1(h) and subsections following such subsection redesignated accordingly) to read in its entirety as follows:
(h) Eligible Domestic Partner: Solely with respect to a Participant who was actively employed by or on an Authorized Leave of Absence from a member of the PepsiCo Organization on or after January 1, 2013, Eligible Domestic Partner means, in the case of a Participant who on the earlier of his or her date of death and Annuity Starting Date, resides in a state that does not permit same-sex couples to marry, but does permit same-sex couples to enter into civil unions or legally recognized domestic partnerships (or recognizes civil unions or domestic partnerships entered into in another state), the individual with whom the Participant has entered into such a validly recognized relationship which was in effect on the earlier of the date of the Participant’s date of death and Annuity Starting Date; provided that a domestic partnership shall be recognized for this purpose only if the applicable domestic partnership agreement meets the requirements set forth in writing by the Company with respect to eligibility for domestic partner benefits and such agreement is valid and in effect on such date. The term “Eligible Domestic Partner” does not include an Eligible Spouse (e.g., if a Participant has a same-sex Eligible Spouse, such Eligible Spouse is not also considered an Eligible Domestic Partner within the meaning of this Plan).
2. The first sentence of subsection 2.1(q)(1) (subsection 2.1(p)(1) prior to the renumbering prescribed above) is amended to read in its entirety as follows:
For purposes of determining the amount of a Retirement, Vested, Pre-Retirement Spouse’s Pension, or Pre-Retirement Domestic Partner’s Pension, the Primary Social Security Amount shall be the estimated monthly amount that may be payable to a Participant commencing at age 65 as an old-age insurance benefit under the provisions of Title II of the Social Security Act, as amended.
3. Section 4.2(b)(2) is amended to read in its entirety as follows:
(2) Calculation. The amount of the PEP Guarantee shall be determined pursuant to paragraph (1) above, subject to the following rules:
(i) Surviving Eligible Spouse’s or Eligible Domestic Partner’s Annuity: Subject to subparagraph (iii) below and the last sentence of this subparagraph, if the Participant has an Eligible Spouse or Eligible Domestic Partner and has commenced receipt of an Annuity under this section, the Participant’s Eligible Spouse or Eligible Domestic Partner shall be entitled to receive a survivor annuity equal to 50 percent of the Participant’s Annuity under this section, with no corresponding reduction in such Annuity for the Participant. Annuity payments to a surviving Eligible Spouse or Eligible Domestic Partner shall begin on the first day of the month coincident with or following the Participant’s death
11
and shall end with the last monthly payment due prior to the Eligible Spouse’s or Eligible Domestic Partner’s death. If the Eligible Spouse or Eligible Domestic Partner is more than 10 years younger than the Participant, the survivor benefit payable under this subparagraph shall be adjusted as provided below.
(A) For each full year more than 10 but less than 21 that the surviving Eligible Spouse or Eligible Domestic Partner is younger than the Participant, the survivor benefit payable to such spouse shall be reduced by 0.8 percent.
(B) For each full year more than 20 that the surviving Eligible Spouse or Eligible Domestic Partner is younger than the Participant, the survivor benefit payable to such spouse shall be reduced by an additional 0.4 percent.
This subparagraph applies only to a Participant who retires on or after his Early Retirement Date.
(ii) Reductions: The following reductions shall apply in determining a Participant’s PEP Guarantee.
(A) If the Participant will receive an Early Retirement Pension, the payment amount shall be reduced by 3/12ths of 1 percent for each month by which the benefit commencement date precedes the date the Participant would attain his Normal Retirement Date.
(B) If the Participant is entitled to a Vested Pension, the payment amount shall be reduced to the actuarial equivalent of the amount payable at his Normal Retirement Date (if payment commences before such date), and the reductions set forth in the Salaried Plan for any Pre-Retirement Spouse’s coverage or Pre-Retirement Domestic Partner’s coverage shall apply.
12
(C) This clause applies if the Participant will receive his Pension in a form that provides an Eligible Spouse or Eligible Domestic Partner benefit, continuing for the life of the surviving spouse or surviving domestic partner, that is greater than that provided under subparagraph (i). In this instance, the Participant’s Pension under this section shall be reduced so that the total value of the benefit payable on the Participant’s behalf is the actuarial equivalent of the Pension otherwise payable under the foregoing provisions of this section.
(D) This clause applies if the Participant will receive his Pension in a form that provides a survivor annuity for a beneficiary who is not his Eligible Spouse or Eligible Domestic Partner. In this instance, the Participant’s Pension under this section shall be reduced so that the total value of the benefit payable on the Participant’s behalf is the actuarial equivalent of a Single Life Annuity for the Participant’s life.
(E) This clause applies if the Participant will receive his Pension in an Annuity form that includes inflation protection described in Section 6.2(b). In this instance, the Participant’s Pension under this section shall be reduced so that the total value of the benefit payable on the Participant’s behalf is the actuarial equivalent of the elected Annuity without such protection.
4. The last paragraph of Section 5.1 is amended to read in its entirety as follows:
Payment of any death benefit of a Participant who dies before his Annuity Starting Date under the Plan shall be made to the persons and in the proportions to which any death benefit under the Salaried Plan is or would be paid (including to a Participant’s Eligible Domestic Partner to whom pre-retirement death benefits are payable under the Salaried Plan, if any, with respect to deaths occurring on or after January 1, 2013).
IV.
Corrections to the Plan document necessary to carry forth the above amendments, including corrections to cross-references affected by these amendments, shall be made as necessary.

Letter from Our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
I am pleased to present PepsiCo’s refreshed Global Code of Conduct. Our Code has been updated to provide more specific information, but its basic principles and our values remain unchanged. Our Code continues to be a declaration of the highest standards of ethics and integrity in all that we do, uniting all of us at PepsiCo with one set of values that guide our daily decisions and actions.
Our Code defines how we do business the right way – guided by Performance with Purpose, our commitment to sustainable growth. It describes the “purpose” behind our performance and is designed to help us meet our obligations, show respect to one another in the workplace and act with integrity in the marketplace.
I encourage you to carefully read our Code and refer to it often for guidance. PepsiCo’s outstanding reputation rests on how each of us conducts ourselves and how we conduct ourselves collectively as a company. Nothing is more important to PepsiCo, to me personally, and I hope to each of you, than preserving PepsiCo's good name by embracing the principles of our Code of Conduct.

The Purpose Behind Our Performance
Doing Business the Right Way
Our Code is the “purpose” behind our performance.
At PepsiCo, we believe acting ethically and responsibly is not only the right thing to do, but also the right thing to do for our business.
Our PepsiCo Global Code of Conduct (our “Code”) is our roadmap and compass for doing business the right way. Put simply, you do business the right way when you act ethically and consistently with our Values, our Code, our policies and the law.
Each of us is expected to embrace the principles of our Code and:
• | Show respect in the workplace |
• | Act with integrity in the marketplace |
• | Ensure ethics in our business relationships |
• | Perform work responsibly for our shareholders |
Our Code is at the center of everything we do. It reinforces our core Values and is the foundation of our strategic mission of Performance with Purpose – in fact, it is the purpose behind our performance.
Responsibility for Our Code
Our Code applies to every employee, and to our Board of Directors; it governs every business decision we make.
Our Code governs all our decisions and actions, whether in our offices, plants or warehouses, in the Boardroom or in the trade selling our products to customers.
Our Code applies to:
• | All PepsiCo employees around the world (including employees of our subsidiaries) |
• | Members of the PepsiCo Board of Directors when they act in their capacity as directors |
• | PepsiCo’s joint ventures over which PepsiCo has management control, and to every employee, officer and director of such joint ventures |
PepsiCo’s Global Compliance and Ethics Department (“Global Compliance”) is accountable for promoting, monitoring and enforcing our Code. However, the ultimate responsibility for following our Code and for maintaining PepsiCo’s culture of ethical excellence rests with each one of us individually.
Your Personal Responsibilities
Follow Our Code
All of your work must comply with our Code, our policies, and the law.
Our reputation for acting ethically and responsibly is built one decision at a time, every day, by each of us. Our Code, together with our company policies, gives you the information you need to perform your job ethically. It is your responsibility to know and comply with the policies that apply to the work you do and the decisions you make.
In addition, as a global business, PepsiCo is committed to complying with the laws of the countries in which we operate. Global laws and
regulations are complex; however, following our Code and policies will help ensure your compliance with applicable local laws.
Where can I find our company policies?
You can find many of our global, sector, regional and function-related policies on our company intranet sites. You can also ask your manager or Human Resources manager for copies of applicable policies.
Lead by Example
Each of us, especially leaders and managers, must act with integrity and inspire trust.
While all employees are expected to act ethically, each manager and leader at PepsiCo has the increased responsibility of leading by example. We expect our leaders and managers to serve as positive role models and inspire others to embrace our Code by:
• | Rewarding integrity |
• | Encouraging ethical decision-making |
• | Creating an open work environment where team members feel comfortable raising concerns |
• | Preventing retaliation against those who speak up |
• | Seeking help in resolving and escalating issues when they arise |
We rely on our leaders and managers to reinforce the principles of our Code and Values throughout all levels of our workforce.
What should I do if my manager asks me to perform a task that I believe might violate our Code or a law?
Raise your concerns openly and honestly with your manager. If you are not satisfied with your manager’s response, or otherwise feel uncomfortable speaking to your manager, raise the issue through any other resource listed under “Seek Guidance and Report Concerns”. You should never knowingly violate our Code, a policy or a law simply because a manager directs you to do so or because you failed to ask for guidance.
Seek Guidance and Report Concerns
It is your responsibility to ask questions and raise concerns when compliance issues arise.
The Code, by its very nature, cannot describe every possible situation that you might encounter in your daily work. If you cannot find an answer in the Code, or if you have questions on how to interpret the Code, seek guidance. Likewise, if you are aware of something that may be a violation of our Code, our policies or the law, you should speak up and report it so it can be addressed. You have several channels to seek guidance or make a report:
Your immediate manager, next level manager or Human Resources manager: Your managers are excellent resources for guidance or concerns related to many company and job-specific policies and processes, work responsibilities, co-worker issues, discipline disputes, promotion opportunities, and issues related to the work environment.
Global Compliance or the Law Department: For issues involving actual or potential Code or legal violations, you are encouraged to seek guidance or raise concerns to Global Compliance or the Law Department. Some examples of these issues include:
• | Accounting or auditing irregularities or misrepresentations |
• | Fraud, theft, bribery and other corrupt business practices |
• | Antitrust or insider trading violations |
• | Significant environmental, safety or product quality issues |
• | Illegal discrimination or harassment |
• | Actual or potential conflicts of interest |
• | Guidance on any national, regional, tribal, state or municipal legal requirements that apply to our company or to your job |
2For contact information for Global Compliance, please see Page 12.
In addition to the resources listed above, you can ask questions, raise concerns or make reports of suspected compliance violations by calling Speak Up, PepsiCo’s ethics hotline.
How do I know when I should seek guidance?
If something does not feel right, then it might not be the right thing to do. Ask yourself:
• | Am I sure this course of action is legal? Is it consistent with our Values, Code and policies? |
• | Could it be considered unethical or dishonest? |
• | Could it hurt PepsiCo’s reputation? Put our company at risk? Cause our company to lose credibility? |
• | Will this hurt other people? Employees? Customers? Consumers? Investors? |
• | Will it reflect poorly on me or PepsiCo? How would it look on the front page of the newspaper? |
If you are unsure about the answers to any of these questions, you should seek additional guidance in making the right decision.
Speak Up
You can contact Speak Up by phone or by web.
Speak Up is a 24-hour, toll-free ethics hotline available to all PepsiCo employees, suppliers, consumers, contractors, subcontractors and agents to ask questions or to raise concerns about compliance or business ethics.
The Speak Up line is available anywhere in the world:
• | By phone using a special toll-free telephone number based on the country from which you are calling. In the United States call 1-866-729-4888. For a list of international country phone numbers, see our Speak Up section at www.pepsico.com |
• | By web available at www.tnwgrc.com/PepsiCoSpeakUp |
To assist PepsiCo in investigating your report, you are encouraged to communicate all of the information you feel comfortable providing. The information will be kept confidential, except as needed to conduct a full, fair investigation. You may remain anonymous if you so choose, except where restricted by local law. Your identity, phone number or IP address will not be recorded or included in any report that is provided to PepsiCo. What matters is what is being reported, not who reports it.
Note: Due to local privacy laws in certain countries and the European Union region, the Speak Up line may permit only specific types of calls, such as accounting, financial, auditing and bribery matters. In those countries, contact your Human Resources manager to report other issues.
What happens when I contact the Speak Up Line?
Speak Up calls are answered by an independent third party with expertise in handling hotline calls. An Interview Specialist will ask you questions and send a report to Global Compliance for a confidential review. Appropriate professionals designated by Global Compliance will investigate concerns, and, if warranted, remedial actions will be taken.
Non-Retaliation
You will not be retaliated against for raising concerns.
PepsiCo is committed to protecting the rights of those individuals who report issues in good faith. Our company will not retaliate against a person who in good faith:
• | Reports what he or she believes is a violation of our Code, our policies, or the law |
• | Raises a compliance question or seeks advice about a particular business practice, decision or action |
• | Cooperates in an investigation of a potential violation |
Retaliation against an employee for reporting an issue in good faith is itself a violation of our Code. If you know or suspect that retaliation has occurred or is occurring, you should report it.
Respect in Our Workplace
Our Purpose
One of the guiding principles of PepsiCo’s Values is to respect others and succeed together. Our success can be achieved only when we treat everyone, both within and outside our company, with respect. Respect in the workplace, along with individual excellence and collaborative teamwork, is how we will accomplish our goals.
Diversity and Inclusion
Each of us must respect the diversity, talents and abilities of others.
At PepsiCo, we define “diversity” as all the unique characteristics that make each one of us: personalities, lifestyles, thought processes, work experiences, ethnicity, race, color, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, age, national origin, disability, veteran status or other differences. We strive to attract, develop and retain a workforce that is as diverse as the markets we serve, and to ensure an inclusive work environment that embraces the strength of our differences.
You play an important role in creating a work environment in which employees and business partners feel valued and respected for their contributions. You promote diversity and inclusion when you:
• | Respect the diversity of each other’s talents, abilities and experiences |
• | Value the input of others |
• | Foster an atmosphere of trust, openness and candor |
We will better understand the needs of our consumers and foster innovation if each of us embraces diversity and inclusion in all aspects of our business.
Human Rights
Always be alert to possible human rights violations.
PepsiCo recognizes the importance of maintaining and promoting fundamental human rights in all of our operations and throughout our supply chain. Our Values, Code, talent sustainability strategies and employment policies work together to support the principles contained in the United Nation’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Labor Organization Fundamental Principles and Labor Standards. We operate under programs and policies that:
• | Provide fair and equitable wages, benefits and other conditions of employment in accordance with local laws |
• | Recognize employees’ right to freedom of association |
• | Provide humane and safe working conditions |
• | Prohibit forced or child labor |
• | Promote a workplace free of discrimination and harassment |
We expect our suppliers and business partners to uphold these principles as well. Our Supplier Code of Conduct and Supplier Assurance
3Program are tools we use to minimize the risk of human rights abuses throughout our supply chain.
Always check your actions to ensure that they do not violate or contradict any of the basic human rights principles noted above. If you suspect a human rights abuse within our operations or supply chain, speak up and report it.
See our Human Rights Policy.
Anti-Discrimination
You should never discriminate or deny equal opportunity.
Each of us should have the opportunity to reach our full potential and contribute to PepsiCo’s success. To accomplish this, you should never discriminate or treat employees or job applicants unfairly in matters that involve recruiting, hiring, training, promoting, compensation or any other term or condition of employment.
Your employment decisions regarding employees and applicants must always be based on merit, qualifications and job-related performance, without regard to non-job-related characteristics such as:
• | Race, color, ethnicity, or national origin |
• | Gender or gender identity |
• | Sexual orientation |
• | Age |
• | Religion |
• | Disability |
• | Veteran status |
• | Any other legally protected status |
Making employment decisions based on any of these personal characteristics is always against our policies and is illegal under the laws of many countries. You must always act fairly and give qualified individuals the chance to develop their abilities and advance within our company.
Anti-Harassment
You must not harass others in our workplace.
PepsiCo seeks to provide a work environment that is free from harassment of any kind and/or any other offensive or disrespectful conduct. Our company complies with all country and local laws prohibiting harassment, and our Code prohibits harassment in the workplace.
Harassment includes unwelcome verbal, visual, physical or other conduct of any kind that creates an intimidating, offensive or hostile work environment. While the legal definition of harassment may vary by jurisdiction, we consider the following non-exhaustive list to be unacceptable behavior:
• | Sexual harassment |
• | Offensive language or jokes |
• | Racial, ethnic, gender or religious slurs |
• | Degrading comments |
• | Intimidating or threatening behavior |
• | Showing hostility towards others because of individual characteristics |
You should never act in a harassing manner or otherwise cause your co-workers to feel uncomfortable in their work environment. It is important to remember that harassment, sexual or otherwise, is determined by your actions and how they impact others, regardless of your intentions. If you or someone else is the subject of discrimination or harassment, speak up and report it.
See our Global Anti-Harassment/Discrimination Policy.
What is sexual harassment?
Sexual harassment may consist of verbal, visual or physical conduct of a sexual nature that is unwelcome or that makes someone feel uncomfortable. It can take many forms, such as:
• | Sexual advances, requests for sexual favors or unwelcome demands for dates |
• | Sexually oriented jokes, pictures, text or email messages |
• | Explicit or degrading comments about appearance |
• | Display of sexually suggestive pictures or pornography |
Health and Safety
No matter where you work or what you do for our company, you are expected to put safety first.
We are committed to safeguarding the health and safety of our employees, visitors, contractors, consumers and communities. Our health and safety policies and procedures are designed to help you to work safely, whether at our facilities, in the marketplace or on the roadways. You should always speak up and raise a concern if you:
• | Are asked to do a task you consider unsafe |
• | Are asked to do a job you think you are not properly trained to perform and that may harm you or others |
• | See someone performing a task that you think is unsafe or that the person is not properly trained to do |
• | Suspect that a vehicle or piece of equipment is not operating properly and may be unsafe |
• | Observe or are made aware of an unsafe condition or a potential danger to yourself or others |
Safety is everyone’s responsibility—you must insist that work be performed safely, no matter what your job is.
See our Environment Health and Safety Policy.
Substance Abuse
You should not work under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
If you work under the influence of drugs or alcohol, you pose an unacceptable safety risk to yourself and others. Drugs may include illegal drugs, controlled substances or misused prescription medication. You are expected to perform your job duties free from the influence of any substance that could impair job performance. We therefore prohibit:
• | Working under the influence of alcohol, illegal drugs or controlled substances on or off PepsiCo premises |
• | Possessing, selling, using, transferring or distributing illegal drugs or controlled substances while working or on the premises |
• | Working while impaired by a lawful prescription medication or over-the-counter drug |
If you have a drug or alcohol problem, you are encouraged to seek assistance. Contact your Human Resources manager to learn of applicable assistance programs in your region.
Anti-Violence
You must never threaten anyone or display violent behavior in our workplace.
PepsiCo’s safety programs include a zero-tolerance policy for workplace violence. You are prohibited from engaging in any act that could cause another individual to feel threatened or unsafe. This includes verbal
4assaults, threats or any expressions of hostility, intimidation, aggression or hazing.
Our company also prohibits the possession of weapons in the workplace. To the full extent permitted by local law, this prohibition extends to company parking lots as well as our facilities. Our zero-tolerance policy for workplace violence applies to behavior on company premises, as well as to the behavior of our employees engaged in PepsiCo business anywhere in the world outside of our premises.
Don’t delay- speak up and report threats or potential violence immediately to location management.
See our Workplace Violence Policy.
Integrity in Our Marketplace
Our Purpose
We should treat all those in the marketplace with whom we come into contact with fairness and integrity. This includes our consumers who purchase our products, our customers who sell our products, the communities we serve, as well as our competitors and our suppliers. Underlying this commitment to integrity is our obligation to comply with all applicable laws wherever we do business.
Product Quality
You should never compromise product quality.
We are committed to producing high quality products across all of our brands. We maintain consumer trust by manufacturing superior products, starting with the purchase of our raw ingredients and continuing until the finished product reaches the consumers’ hands. We are also committed to developing new products in an ethical and responsible manner, and to following applicable ethical standards and guidelines relating to research.
If you are involved in any aspect of developing, handling, packaging or storing our products, you are expected to:
• | Know the product quality standards, policies, and procedures that apply to the products produced at your location |
• | Follow good manufacturing practices and testing protocols |
• | Comply with all applicable food safety laws and regulations |
It is important to always be alert for situations that could compromise our products. If you see something that could negatively affect the quality of a PepsiCo product, speak up and report it immediately.
See our Food Safety Policy.
Responsible Marketing
If you are involved in marketing, always market our products responsibly.
Our brands touch millions of lives each day. Our product marketing must reflect our company’s high ethical standards, and be truthful, understandable and in compliance with all laws. If you are involved in marketing, you should never:
• | Overstate or misrepresent the qualities of our products or packaging |
• | Use misleading or untruthful statements in our advertising or labels |
• | Make claims about our products, product ingredients, or health effects without adequate substantiation and proper legal clearance |
You must ensure our marketing programs conform to applicable laws and regulations as well as applicable policies of your sector or function, including our guidelines relating to marketing to children.
See our Statement on Marketing to Children.
Our Customers
We must treat our customers fairly.
Integrity in the marketplace requires each of us to treat our customers ethically, fairly, and in compliance with all applicable laws. When dealing with our customers, you should always:
• | Earn their business on the basis of our superior products, customer service and competitive prices |
• | Present our services and products in an honest and forthright manner |
• | Avoid unfair or deceptive trade practices |
• | Communicate our sales programs clearly |
• | Deliver on your promises |
Our contracts with customers must always reflect the importance and value we place on their business. All customer sales and trade spending agreements should be in writing and conform to our policies.
See your sector or region Trade Spend Policy.
Are there any restrictions on signing “side letters” at a customer’s request?
You should never sign any side letter or any other document that modifies or interprets an existing customer agreement that relates to customer payments or that waives customer performance without the prior review and approval of the Law Department.
Our Suppliers
All interactions with our suppliers must meet our high ethical standards.
We hold our suppliers to the same standards of integrity to which we hold ourselves. An unethical or illegal act of a supplier may hurt PepsiCo’s reputation as a world-class company and cause a loss of goodwill in the communities we serve. Therefore, all suppliers must comply with our Supplier Code of Conduct as a condition of doing business with us. Our suppliers include any third-party vendor, consultant, contractor, service provider or supplier of raw materials, ingredients or packaging components.
If you are responsible for selecting a supplier, you should base decision on merit, quality of service and reputation.
Putting Supplier Due Diligence Into Practice
When selecting and retaining suppliers, you should:
• | Follow our applicable bidding, negotiating and contracting processes |
• | Perform appropriate due diligence to determine that the supplier is a legitimate enterprise, with a reputation for integrity and ethical behavior, that does not engage in unlawful activities |
• | Avoid potential or actual conflicts of interest with suppliers |
See our Supplier Code of Conduct, our Human Rights Policy and our Conflicts of Interest Policy.
Our Competitors
Always compete with integrity and follow applicable antitrust and competition laws.
PepsiCo is committed to outperforming our competitors legally and ethically within the framework of a free enterprise system. Therefore, you should:
• | Never comment on competitors’ products or services in an inaccurate or untruthful manner |
• | Only use legitimate means of obtaining competitive information |
• | Respect the confidential information and intellectual property rights of our competitors and other third parties |
• | Always comply with antitrust and competition laws |
5When dealing with competitors, you should never enter into any agreement, whether formal or informal, written or verbal, to set prices or other terms of sale, coordinate bids, allocate customers, sales territories, or product lines, or engage in any other activity that violates applicable antitrust or competition laws. You should never discuss such topics with a competitor, even in an informal setting such as a trade show or customer event.
It is also important to avoid activities that may appear to violate antitrust or competition laws. For example, all written communications referring to our competitors should be business appropriate in tone and refrain from language that could be construed as encouraging anti-competitive behavior.
Violations of antitrust or competition laws may result in severe legal penalties for our company and criminal charges for the individuals involved. Competition laws are complex and vary by country. For guidance, you should consult the Law Department. If you suspect an antitrust violation, speak up and report it.
See your sector, region or country Antitrust or Competition Policy.
How can I legitimately obtain competitive intelligence?
Competitive intelligence can be obtained fairly and ethically from publicly available sources, such as media reports, trade journals, annual reports, governmental filings, speeches of company executives, and from customers in the context of meeting competitive offers. Competitive intelligence should never be obtained through misrepresentation, trespassing, theft, invasion of privacy or obtaining information from co-workers about previous employers.

We operate based on the principle “what is good for business must always be good for society.”
See our Sustainability Report.
Ethics in Our Business Activities
Our Purpose
Our Code requires each of us to make ethical business decisions and to avoid conflicts of interest. Permitting corruption in our business activities is completely inconsistent with PepsiCo’s focus on doing business the right way. Our commitment to integrity extends into all of our business relationships and to all interactions with government officials.
Conflicts of Interest
You should avoid a conflict, or an appearance of a conflict, between your personal interests and our company’s interests.
Our company’s conflicts of interest policy is straightforward—we all have an obligation to act in the best interest of our company at all times. Conflicts of interest may arise when you, a family member or a friend:
• | Engage in activities that compete with, or appear to compete with, our company’s interests |
• | Let your business decisions be influenced, or appear to be influenced, by personal or family interests or friendships |
• | Use company property, information or resources for personal benefit or the benefit of others |
• | Hire, supervise or have a direct or indirect line of reporting to a family member or someone with whom you have a romantic relationship |
• | Have outside employment that negatively affects your job performance or interferes with your PepsiCo responsibilities |
• | Receive any personal or financial benefit from, have a financial interest in, provide services to or work for a supplier, customer or competitor or a company that seeks to do business with us. (You may, individually, own stock of less than one percent (1%) of suppliers, customers, or competitors, provided that you own such stock through a publicly traded mutual fund or bank investment portfolio) |
Who is considered to be a “family member” under the Code?
A family member can be any of the following: spouse, domestic partner, parent, sibling, child, grandparent, grandchild, niece or nephew, aunt or uncle, cousin, stepchild, or in-law. It can also be anyone living in your household, or anyone you are dependent upon or anyone dependent upon you or one of your relatives. Remember, potential conflicts are not limited to just relationships with relatives or family members. Conflicts of interest may arise with anyone with whom you have a friendship or personal relationship.
You must disclose potential conflicts of interest to our company.
If at any time in your employment you think that you may have a potential or actual conflict of interest, you have an obligation to disclose the conflict promptly to our company. Many times conflicts can be resolved by an open and honest discussion. Certain material conflicts may require the acknowledgement of your confidentiality obligations, reassignment of roles, or recusal from certain business decisions.
You must disclose any actual or potential conflict to PepsiCo by doing the following:
6• | Check with Global Compliance or your local controller to submit your disclosure through the proper channels established by your sector or region. If you are unsure about who to contact, you can also disclose your potential conflict by sending an email to PepsiCoComplianceDisclosures@pepsico.com. |
• | If you are subject to our annual online Code of Conduct training, you must also disclose your potential conflict of interest at the end of the training course when prompted to do so. You should continue to disclose such circumstances each year in your annual Code training if the potential conflict is ongoing. |
Remember, having a conflict of interest is not necessarily a Code violation, but failing to disclose it is.
See our Conflicts of Interest Policy.
Putting Conflict of Interest Concepts into Practice
To determine if you have a conflict of interest that should be disclosed, ask yourself these questions:
• | Do my outside interests influence, or appear to influence, my ability to make sound business decisions? |
• | Do I stand to benefit from my involvement in this situation? Does a friend or relative of mine stand to benefit? |
• | Could my participation in this activity interfere with my ability to do my job? |
• | Is the situation causing me to put my own interests ahead of PepsiCo’s interests? |
• | If the situation became public knowledge, would I be embarrassed? Would PepsiCo be embarrassed? |
Anti-Corruption
Your business decisions should never be influenced by corruption.
Corrupt arrangements with customers, suppliers, government officials, or other third parties are strictly prohibited. “Corruption” generally refers to obtaining, or attempting to obtain, a personal benefit or business advantage through improper or illegal means. Corruption may involve payments or the exchange of anything of value and includes the following activities:
• | Bribery (bribery of a government official or commercial bribery) |
• | Extortion |
• | Kickbacks |
Corrupt activities are not only a Code violation, they can also be a serious violation of criminal and civil anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws in various countries. Should you become aware of any potential or actual corrupt arrangement or agreement, speak up and report it.
What is “anything of value”?
Corruption may involve the exchange of “anything of value.” “Anything of value” is very broad and could include goods, services or merchandise, such as gift cards, event tickets, retail certificates, entertainment, travel perks, use of vacation homes, free airfare or accommodations, special favors or privileges, donations to designated charities, discounts, free personal services, financial or property loans, co-signing of a loan or mortgage, or a promise of future employment.
What is a “Kickback”?
A kickback is a form of corruption that involves two parties agreeing that a portion of sales or profits will be improperly given, rebated or kicked back to the purchaser in exchange for making the deal. For example, a kickback might involve a supplier who offers a PepsiCo associate a monthly payment equaling 5% of PepsiCo’s purchases as an inducement to the associate to retain the supplier’s services. Kickbacks, like other forms of corruption, are unethical and prohibited under our Code, policies and the law.
Anti-Bribery
You must comply with all anti-bribery laws.
No matter where in the world you work, there is an anti-bribery law or policy that applies to you. Most countries have anti-bribery laws that prohibit bribing a government official. Under some countries’ laws, such as the United Kingdom’s Bribery Act, bribing anyone (called “commercial bribery”) is also a crime. In addition, all PepsiCo employees regardless of personal location or place of business must comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”). The FCPA makes bribery of government officials a crime and applies wherever PepsiCo conducts business.
To comply with anti-bribery laws, no employee should ever offer, directly or indirectly, any form of gift, entertainment or anything of value to any government official or his or her representatives to:
• | Obtain or retain business, |
• | Influence business decisions, or |
• | Secure an unfair advantage |
These prohibitions apply to our business operations and to anyone acting on our behalf, including agents, consultants, suppliers, and contractors
Putting Responsibility for Agents into Practice
When working with consultants or other third parties who deal with governments on our behalf, it is critical that you ensure that our agents never violate anti-bribery laws. You should be aware of certain “red flags” that may indicate a risk of bribery, including: the country’s reputation for corruption; a request that we pay the consultant in cash or via an unknown third party; consulting fees that are out of proportion to the work being done; or a lack of communication or transparency in your relationship with the consultant or with respect to the work being done.
A “government official” includes a person who works for or is an agent of a government-owned or government-controlled entity. For purposes of anti-bribery laws, government officials include elected and appointed officers or employees of national, municipal or local governments (including individuals holding legislative, administrative and judicial positions), officials of political parties and candidates for political offices, and employees of a government or a state-controlled company.
What are examples of a “government official” under anti-bribery laws?
“Government officials” may include:
• | Government employees of environmental, licensing, tax and custom agencies, commissions or departments |
• | Representatives of public international organizations, such as the World Bank |
• | Mayors or other local city officials who issue permits |
• | Members of law enforcement, including the military, local police and other enforcement agencies |
• | Purchasing managers of government-run airlines, universities, school systems or hospitals |
• | Members of royal families |
• | Employees of companies that are owned by the government |
• | Employees of public international charities such as UNICEF |
Not all government payments are problematic. For example, payments may be made to a government entity in the normal course of business, such as to pay taxes or when the government entity is a customer or supplier. However, any payment to a specific government official is risky, particularly if the payment is discretionary.
All payments and gifts to, and entertainment of, government officials should be pre-approved by the Government Affairs or Law Department. The need for prior approval applies even if local law permits minimal
7“facilitating” payments to government officials to expedite or ensure routine actions—such as issuing licenses, permits or visas. All payments, both direct and indirect, made to government officials must be accurately recorded in our books and records.
If you are unsure whether you might be dealing with a government official, or have any other questions on complying with anti-bribery laws, you should contact the Government Affairs or Law Department for guidance. Always speak up and report any suspected bribery activity.
See our Global Anti-Bribery Compliance Policy.
Anti-Money Laundering
If you suspect your customer or supplier is engaged in an illegal activity, report it.
PepsiCo complies with all laws that prohibit money laundering or financing for illegal or illegitimate purposes. “Money laundering,” is the process by which persons or groups try to conceal the proceeds of illegal activities or try to make the sources of their illegal funds look legitimate.
You should always ensure that you are conducting business with reputable customers, for legitimate business purposes, with legitimate funds. Check for “red flags” such as requests from a potential customer or supplier for cash payments or other unusual payment terms. If you suspect money laundering activities, speak up and report it.
International Trade Controls
If you are involved in the import or export of goods, you must comply with trade regulations.
As a global company, PepsiCo transfers goods, services and technologies across national borders. Our business transactions are subject to various trade controls and laws that regulate export and import, including:
• | Government-imposed export controls, trade restrictions, trade embargoes, legal economic sanctions and boycotts |
• | Anti-boycott laws that prohibit companies from participating in or cooperating with an international boycott that is not approved or sanctioned by the U.S. government |
If you are involved in the transfer of goods or services across national borders on behalf of our company or our customers, you must comply with these laws, regardless of where you are located. If U.S. law conflicts with a local trade law, U.S. law may apply. Always consult with the Law Department for proper guidance on this subject.
Political Activities
You are prohibited from using company resources for personal political activities.
PepsiCo encourages its associates to participate in their communities, which may include political activities. However, you may not use company funds or resources, or receive company reimbursement, for those personal political activities, including contributions to political candidates or parties. You should avoid even the appearance of doing so.
On occasion, PepsiCo may communicate information and its corporate opinions on issues of public concern that affect our company. These announcements are not intended to pressure you to adopt certain ideas or support certain causes. Your decisions to contribute your own time or
money to any political or community activity are entirely personal and voluntary.
PepsiCo obeys all laws in promoting our company’s position relative to government authorities and in making political contributions. Corporate political contributions are strictly regulated and must always be approved by the PepsiCo Government Affairs Department.
Business Gifts
Business gifts must be lawful, authorized and appropriate.
The practice of giving or receiving a customer’s or supplier’s business gift requires careful consideration by you and your manager. Before any gift is exchanged, you should determine if it is permitted under our Code and policies. Our Gifts Policy and applicable sector or function policies define acceptable business gift practices.
You are prohibited from providing, offering, or receiving any gift that serves to, or appears to, inappropriately influence business decisions or gain an unfair advantage. However, under certain circumstances you may exchange business gifts that are intended to generate goodwill, provided:
• | The gift has a legitimate business purpose, is of nominal value (generally under $75 U.S. dollars or its equivalent), is infrequent and meets all other requirements of our Gifts Policy, Travel and Entertainment Policy and your function or sector gift policies |
• | The gift is not cash or a cash equivalent |
• | Your division or function does not have a “no gifts” policy in effect |
• | The gift is permitted under the laws that apply to the recipient and the recipient of the gift is authorized and permitted to accept the gift |
“Business gifts” do not include company-sponsored sales contests or incentive programs. In addition, business hospitality, including meals and entertainment, is not prohibited as long as the nature and frequency of the occasion is reasonable, the occasion involves the active conduct of company business and the business hospitality otherwise complies with our policies.
Gifts to government officials: You should be aware that giving or offering even a simple gift or meal to a government official can be illegal. You should consult with the Law Department or your controller for additional guidance on business gifts.
See our PepsiCo Gifts Policy and our Travel and Entertainment Policy.
What departments or functions have a “no gifts” policy?
Employees who work in our Business Information Solutions (BIS) sector and in our Global Procurement function must follow their respective sector or function “no gifts” policy which prohibits the exchange of gifts of any kind, regardless of value. Always check with your manager, department head or controller to confirm whether or not your department, function or work group has a “no gifts” policy.
What types of gifts are commonly considered as nominal in value?
Gifts that are infrequent and under $75 U.S. dollars or equivalent in most countries are considered nominal. Examples include branded promotional items, such as a t-shirt or hat given as a goodwill gesture to introduce our brands.
8Responsibility to Our Shareholders
Our Purpose
Acting with responsibility and transparency goes hand-in-hand with protecting shareholder value. Each employee creates value for our shareholders by putting our company’s interests first, maintaining accurate business records and protecting and properly using company resources, information and property.
Accurate Business Records
Your business records must be accurate and complete.
PepsiCo’s focus on speaking with truth and candor underscores our commitment to accuracy in our company’s books and records. Business records, including our financial statements, contracts and agreements, must always be accurate and reflect a forthright presentation of the facts. No matter what type of document or how insignificant it might seem, the information contained in a business record must always be truthful and complete. Financial records must reflect all components of the financial transactions and events. Likewise, all of your transactions, no matter what the dollar amount, must be properly authorized, executed and recorded.
You are accountable for the accuracy of the business records that you handle in the normal course of business. You should never:
• | Falsify, omit, misstate, alter or conceal any information or otherwise misrepresent the facts on a company record |
• | Encourage or allow anyone else to compromise the accuracy and integrity of our records |
If you notice an inaccuracy in a company record, or a failure to follow our internal control processes, you must promptly speak up and report it.
See your sector or region Financial Policies.
What is meant by “business records?”
“Business records” include any document, or communication in paper or electronic form that is maintained in the course of business. This covers a wide variety of information, including: presentations, spreadsheets, payroll documents, time cards, attendance records, legal agreements, information in filings with governmental agencies, inventory records, invoices, purchase orders, market research tests, lab tests, quality control tests, travel and expense reports, inspection records, transportation logs, hazardous material records, accident reports, and business plans.
Public Disclosures
Our financial reporting obligations rely on PepsiCo’s accurate business records.
Our investors and the general public rely on our company, and the law obligates us, to report accurately on our business, our earnings and our financial condition. The disclosures we make in our public communications, regulatory disclosures and reports submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and to other governmental agencies must always be full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable.
If you are involved in any aspect of preparing our financial statements, or the certifications on which they rely, you must always follow our financial policies, our system of internal controls and generally accepted accounting principles.
See our Disclosure Policy.
Putting Accurate Financial Information Into Practice
Accurate financial reporting means you should never:
• | Understate or overstate known or estimated liabilities or assets |
• | Accelerate or defer costs in violation of generally accepted accounting principles |
• | Fail to properly maintain supporting documents for business transactions |
• | “Channel stuff,” “trade load” or otherwise inflate or deflate quarterly or annual sales by pulling forward or delaying shipments or intentionally selling larger quantities than the customer needs |
Records Management
You should maintain business records in accordance with our Records Management Policies.
A company the size of PepsiCo generates a large volume of records and documents each day. The business records that you work with must be maintained, retained and destroyed in accordance with all legal and regulatory recordkeeping requirements. To manage your business records properly, you should:
• | Comply with our records management policies for all documents, files, electronic records and emails |
• | Follow the retention periods specified in the Records Retention Schedule for your sector, country or function |
• | Follow the instructions in a “Legal Hold” record retention notification |
You should consult the Law Department if you have specific questions about the retention period of a document, or if you have questions concerning the documents referred to in a Legal Hold notification. Destruction of documents subject to a Legal Hold notice, even inadvertently, could expose our company and you to civil and criminal liability.
See your sector or region Records Management Policies and the Record Retention Schedules.
Audits and Investigations
Our auditors and investigators require your full cooperation.
During your employment with PepsiCo, you may be asked to participate in an audit or internal investigation conducted by our internal auditors, external auditors, Global Compliance or the Law Department. When this happens, you are always expected to cooperate fully and communicate honestly.
You may also receive a request for documents or a request to meet with regulators or lawyers in connection with a legal proceeding or government investigation. If you receive such a request, you should immediately contact the Law Department for assistance.
Company Resources
You have an obligation to protect PepsiCo’s resources.
PepsiCo relies on you to use company resources honestly and efficiently. Resources include physical property, such as facilities, supplies, equipment, machinery, spare parts, raw ingredients, finished products, vehicles and company funds. They also include intangible assets, such as
9company time, confidential information, intellectual property and information systems. You should use company resources only for legitimate business purposes and protect them from theft, loss, damage, or misuse.
The obligation to protect company funds is particularly important if you have spending authority, approve Travel and Entertainment expenses or manage budgets and accounts. You must always:
• | Ensure the funds are properly used for their established purpose |
• | Obtain required approval before incurring an expense |
• | Accurately record all expenditures |
• | Verify that expenses submitted for reimbursement are business-related, properly documented and comply with our policies |
If you are aware of company resources being misused, speak up and report it.
What are some examples of misappropriating company resources?
Taking product or supplies for personal use, charging personal expenses on company credit cards, using company vehicles for unauthorized personal transportation needs, reselling scrap or waste product for your financial gain, or diverting assets through fraud or embezzlement are all examples of misappropriating company resources.
See our Travel and Entertainment Policy.
Fraud
You should never compromise honesty and integrity by committing fraud.
You misuse company resources, and commit fraud, when you intentionally conceal, alter, falsify or omit information for your benefit or the benefit of others. Fraud may be motivated by the opportunity to gain something of value (such as meeting a performance goal or obtaining a payment) or to avoid negative consequences (such as discipline). Examples of fraud include:
• | Altering manufacturing numbers to meet productivity goals |
• | Presenting false medical information to obtain disability benefits |
• | Falsely reporting time worked to earn more pay or to avoid discipline for being late or absent from work |
• | Misrepresenting sales or donations of products to obtain unauthorized pricing for a customer |
• | Misstating financial information in our company’s books and records |
You should also avoid the appearance of fraud. For example, never spend company funds without proper approval. Similarly, never enter into an agreement on behalf of our company unless you are authorized to do so.
Confidential Information
You must protect the confidential information of our company and our business partners.
During your employment, you may acquire certain information about PepsiCo, its customers, suppliers or business partners or another third party that is confidential, competitively sensitive and/or proprietary. You should assume that company information is confidential or competitively
sensitive unless you have clear indication that PepsiCo has publicly released the information.
Always take reasonable and necessary precautions to protect any confidential information relating to PepsiCo or another company to which you have access. You should not disclose any confidential business information to anyone outside PepsiCo, even to members of your own family, unless the disclosure is:
• | Properly authorized |
• | In connection with a clearly defined, legitimate business need |
• | Subject to a written confidentiality agreement approved by the Law Department |
Even within our company and among your co-workers, you must only share confidential information on a need-to-know basis.
See our Trade Secrets Policy.
What business information is considered to be “confidential”?
“Confidential information” includes non-public information that, if improperly disclosed, could be useful to competitors or harmful to PepsiCo, our suppliers, our customers, or another third party or material to a reasonable investor’s decision to buy or sell PepsiCo securities or securities of our business partners. For example, earnings, forecasts, business plans and strategies, significant restructurings, potential acquisitions, formulas, pricing, sales information, research, new product development, undisclosed marketing and promotional activity, significant management changes, a change in auditor or the withdrawals of auditor reports, and events regarding PepsiCo securities would all qualify as “confidential information”.
Insider Trading
You may violate the law if you trade stock on “inside information.”
In the course of performing your job, you may learn of certain confidential information that qualifies as “material non-public information” about PepsiCo, one of its customers, suppliers, or business partners or another third party. Information is considered to be “material non-public information” when it:
• | has not been widely disseminated to the public, and |
• | is information that a reasonable investor would consider important in making a decision to buy or sell a particular security |
You should not disclose material, non-public information to anyone outside our company, including family members and friends. For examples of confidential “material non-public information”, please see “Confidential Information”.
You should not transact in PepsiCo securities or the securities of another company involved with PepsiCo while you have material, non-public information about PepsiCo or that company. This prohibition on trading applies to all transactions in PepsiCo securities, including purchasing or selling PepsiCo securities, exercising options, selling restricted stock units and increasing or decreasing your investment in PepsiCo securities through your 401(k). In addition, you are not permitted to engage in activities that are designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of PepsiCo stock (including purchasing financial instruments such as prepaid variable forward contracts, collars, exchange funds or equity swaps or engaging in short sales). You also may not hold PepsiCo securities in a margin account or pledge PepsiCo stock or PepsiCo stock options as collateral for a loan or otherwise.
I don’t work with stocks or securities in my job. Do prohibitions on insider trading apply to me?
Yes, anyone with knowledge of confidential, material information can violate inside trading laws if they disclose material non-public information to third parties
10who may then trade stock based on that information or if they themselves trade stock based on that information. Even during casual conversations with family and friends, you must exercise caution and not disclose any of our company’s confidential information.
Privacy
If you have access to personal information, keep it private and protected.
If you have access to personally identifiable data of our employees, Board of Directors, our suppliers, contractors or customers or the systems that maintain it, you must comply with all applicable policies and laws regarding the collection, use and disclosure of personally identifiable data. You should:
• | Only access personal information for legitimate business purposes |
• | Securely store and dispose of personal information |
• | Transmit—securely via encryption—personal information only to authorized parties who are obligated to protect its confidentiality |
• | Promptly report any possible privacy breaches or security risks to the Law Department |
Many countries have laws and directives that regulate the exchange of certain personal information of our employees across country borders. We abide by the privacy laws that are in effect in the countries in which we conduct business. Consult with the Law Department if you are involved in a project in which you may be required to transfer personally identifiable information outside of its country of origin.
See our Personal Information Privacy Policy.
What personal information does PepsiCo protect?
Examples of personal information that must be protected include residential addresses and non-business related phone numbers, government-assigned identification numbers, salary and other compensation information, performance records and information relating to banking, benefits, leaves of absence and medical history.
External Communications
You are not authorized to speak on behalf of our company.
If you are contacted and asked to discuss company business with any members of the press, investors or market analysts, do not provide any information. Instead, you should politely advise the outside party that you are not authorized to discuss the subject, and refer them to the spokespeople designated in our Media, Public Speaking and Publication Policy and our Disclosure Policy for your sector or region.
Similarly, when using social media you should be clear that you do not speak on behalf of the company. You should always:
• | State that the materials and opinions you are posting are yours and not the company’s |
• | Take every possible precaution to ensure that you are not disclosing any confidential information about PepsiCo |
• | Refrain from using any PepsiCo or third party logos or trademarks without express permission |
See our Media, Public Speaking and Publication Policy, Disclosure Policy and Social Media Policy.
What are some examples of social media use that violates our policies?
When using social media, whether outside of or at work or in connection with your
work, you should never post photos, images, videos or audio clips of our
facilities; never use PepsiCo logos, trademarks or copyrighted materials without permission; never represent or leave the impression that the views you express are the views of our company.
Intellectual Property
Always use our trademarks and other intellectual property properly.
Our intellectual property is an invaluable asset that must be protected at all times. Intellectual property includes our trademarks, brands, package designs, logos, copyrights, inventions, patents and trade secrets. You should never allow a third party to use our trademarks or other intellectual property without proper authorization and a license agreement that has been approved by the Law Department. Furthermore, our trademarks should never be used in a degrading, defamatory or otherwise offensive manner.
Our intellectual property also includes employees’ work product. As a company employee, any work you create, in whole or in part, in connection with your duties, and/or using company time, resources or information, belongs to PepsiCo. For example, inventions, ideas, discoveries, improvements, artwork, processes, designs, software or any other materials you may help to create or author in connection with your work for our company belongs to PepsiCo. You should promptly disclose any invention related to our business, so that it may receive the same protection as other intellectual property of our company.
Email, Internet and Information Systems
You must use company email and internet accounts responsibly and protect the security of our information systems.
Our information technology systems are a key component of our business operation and are provided for authorized business purposes. Your use of these systems must comply with our Information Security Policy and Acceptable Use Standards. You may engage in reasonable incidental personal use of phone, email and the internet as long as such usage does not:
• | Consume a large amount of time or resources |
• | Interfere with your work performance or that of others |
• | Involve illegal, sexually explicit, discriminatory or otherwise inappropriate material |
• | Relate to outside business interests |
• | Violate our Code or any company policy |
While it is generally not our practice to monitor employees’ use of our information systems, PepsiCo reserves the right to monitor, record, disclose, audit, and delete without prior notice the nature and content of an employee’s activity using our company's email, phone, voicemail, internet and other systems, to the extent permitted by local law.
Putting Information Security into Practice
To safeguard our information systems, you should never:
• | Share your PepsiCo system passwords with anyone |
• | Leave laptops or other mobile devices unattended while traveling or in an exposed location where they can be stolen |
• | Download unauthorized or unlicensed software on PepsiCo computers |
If you suspect a data breach or become aware of any situation in which data has been compromised, including the loss or theft of a laptop or handheld device, immediately report the situation to your local technical support team or Help Desk.
