NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Basis of Presentation and Our Divisions
Basis of Presentation
Our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 24, 2007 and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, Cash Flows and Comprehensive Income for the 12 weeks ended March 24, 2007 and March 25, 2006 have not been audited. These statements have been prepared on a basis that is substantially consistent with the accounting principles applied in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2006. In our opinion, these financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation. The results for the 12 weeks are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year.
Our significant interim accounting policies include the recognition of a pro rata share of certain estimated annual sales incentives, and certain advertising and marketing costs, generally in proportion to revenue, and the recognition of income taxes using an estimated annual effective tax rate. 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.
Bottling equity income includes our share of the net income or loss of our noncontrolled bottling affiliates and any changes in our ownership interests of these affiliates. Bottling equity income includes pre-tax gains of $50 million on our sale of PBG stock in both the first quarter of 2007 and 2006.
In the first quarter of 2007, the reporting calendars of certain operating units within PepsiCo Internationals (PI) reporting segment were changed such that most PI operations will now report on a monthly calendar basis instead of a period reporting basis. Monthly reporting is preferable for our international businesses to facilitate local statutory reporting, which is generally based on monthly calendars. The change in reporting will substantially reduce the number of financial closings and reconciliations executed by the international operations, improving overall efficiency. As a result of this change, first quarter PepsiCo results primarily reflect international monthly results for the months of January and February. Prior period amounts have been adjusted to reflect this change.
In addition, in the first quarter of 2007, income for certain non-consolidated international bottling interests was reclassified from bottling equity income and corporate unallocated results to PIs division operating results, to be consistent with PepsiCos internal management accountability. Prior period amounts have been adjusted to reflect this reclassification.
The following information is unaudited. 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. Certain reclassifications were made to prior year amounts to conform to the 2007 presentation. This report should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006.

Income Taxes
In 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 requires that we recognize in our financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 as of the beginning of our 2007 fiscal year. As a result of our adoption of FIN 48, we recognized a $7 million decrease to reserves for income taxes, with a corresponding increase to retained earnings, as of the beginning of our 2007 fiscal year.
As of the beginning of our 2007 fiscal year, the total gross amount of reserves for income taxes, which is reported in other liabilities, is $1.3 billion. Of that amount, $1.2 billion, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate. Any prospective adjustments to our reserves for income taxes will be recorded as an increase or decrease to provision for income taxes and would impact our effective tax rate. In addition, we accrue interest related to reserves for income taxes in provision for income taxes and any associated penalties are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. The gross amount of interest accrued as of the beginning of our 2007 fiscal year is $0.3 billion.
We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various state and local jurisdictions, and many foreign jurisdictions. A number of years may elapse before an uncertain tax position is audited and finally resolved. While it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of resolution of any particular uncertain tax position, we believe that our reserves for income taxes reflect the most probable outcome. We adjust these reserves, as well as the related interest, in light of changing facts and circumstances. Settlement of any particular position would usually require the use of cash. The resolution of a matter would be recognized as an adjustment to our provision for income taxes and our effective tax rate in the period of resolution.
The number of years with open tax audits varies depending on the tax jurisdiction. Our major taxing jurisdictions include the U.S., Mexico, the United Kingdom and Canada. In the U.S, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), in the fourth quarter of 2006, issued a Revenue Agents Report (RAR) related to the years 1998 through 2002. We are in agreement with their conclusion, except for one matter which we continue to dispute. We made the appropriate cash payment during the fourth quarter of 2006 to settle the agreed-upon issues, and we do not anticipate the
12
resolution of the open matter will significantly impact our financial statements. The IRS has initiated their audit of our U.S. tax returns for the years 2003 through 2005 during the first quarter of 2007. In Mexico, during 2006, we completed and agreed with the conclusions of an audit of our tax returns for the years 2001 through 2005. In the United Kingdom, our 1999 tax year is currently under audit and all subsequent years remain open. We do not anticipate the resolution of the 1999 tax year or open subsequent years will significantly impact our financial statements. In Canada, audits have been completed for all taxable years prior to 2004. We are disputing some of the adjustments for the years 1999 through 2003. We do not anticipate the resolution of the 1999 through 2003 tax years will significantly impact our financial statements. The Canadian tax return for 2004 is currently under audit and no adjustments are expected to significantly impact our financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We adopted FIN 48 as of the beginning of our 2007 fiscal year. See Income Taxes.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157),which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective as of the beginning of our 2008 fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 157 on our financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The provisions of SFAS 159 are effective as of the beginning of our 2008 fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 159 on our financial statements.

ITEM 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Our discussion and analysis is an integral part of understanding our financial results. Also refer to Basis of Presentation and Our Divisions in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Tabular dollars are presented 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. Percentage changes are based on unrounded amounts.
Our Critical Accounting Policies
Sales Incentives and Advertising and Marketing Costs
We offer sales incentives and discounts through various programs to customers and consumers. These incentives are accounted for as a reduction of revenue. Certain sales incentives are recognized at the time of sale while other incentives, such as bottler funding and customer volume rebates, are recognized during the year incurred, generally in proportion to revenue, based on annual targets. Anticipated payments are estimated based on 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 recognized during the year incurred, generally in proportion to revenue.
In determining our quarterly provision for income taxes, we use an estimated annual effective tax rate which is based on our expected annual income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available to us in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Our estimated annual effective tax rate also reflects our best estimate of the ultimate outcome of tax audits. In accordance with our income tax policy, significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur.
We account for our employee stock options, which include grants under our executive program and broad-based SharePower program, under the fair value method of accounting using a Black-Scholes valuation model to measure stock option expense at the date of grant. All stock option grants have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant and generally have a 10-year term. The fair value of stock option grants is amortized to expense over the vesting period, generally three years. RSU expense is based on the fair value of PepsiCo stock on the date of grant and is amortized over the vesting period, generally three years. Volatility reflects movements in our stock price over the most recent historical period equivalent to the expected life.

Our Business Risks
We discuss expectations regarding our future performance, such as our business outlook, in our annual and quarterly reports, press releases, and other written and oral statements. These forward-looking statements are based on currently available competitive, financial and economic data and our operating plans. They are inherently uncertain, and investors must recognize that events could turn out to be significantly different from our expectations. We undertake no obligations to update any forward-looking statement.
Our operations outside of the United States generate over a third of our net revenue. As a result, we are exposed to foreign currency risks, including unforeseen economic changes and political unrest. During the quarter, net favorable foreign currency contributed nearly 1 percentage point to net revenue growth, primarily due to appreciation in the British pound and the euro, partially offset by declines in the Mexican peso. Currency declines which are not offset could adversely impact our future results.
We expect to be able to continue to reduce the impact of increases in our raw material and energy costs through our hedging strategies and ongoing productivity initiatives.
Cautionary statements included in Managements Discussion and Analysis and in Item 1A. in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006 should be considered when evaluating our trends and future results.
Results of Operations Consolidated Review
In the discussions of net revenue and operating profit below, effective net pricing reflects the year-over-year impact of discrete pricing actions, sales incentive activities and mix resulting from selling varying products in different package sizes and in different countries.
15
Volume
Since our divisions each use different measures of physical unit volume, a common servings metric is necessary to reflect our consolidated physical unit volume. In 2007, total servings increased over 4% for the 12 weeks, with worldwide beverages growing 3.5% and worldwide snacks growing 7%.
We discuss volume for our beverage businesses on a bottler case sales (BCS) basis in which all beverage volume is converted to an 8-ounce-case metric. A portion of our volume is sold by our bottlers, and that portion is based on our bottlers sales to retailers and independent distributors. The remainder of our volume is based on our shipments to retailers and independent distributors. BCS is reported to us by our bottlers on a monthly basis. Our first quarter beverage volume includes PBNA bottler sales for January, February and March and PI bottler sales for January and February. Concentrate shipments and equivalents (CSE) represent our physical beverage volume shipments to bottlers, retailers and independent distributors, and is the measure upon which our revenue is based.
Consolidated Results
Total Net Revenue and Operating Profit
Total net revenue
Operating profit
Corporate unallocated
Total operating profit
Total operating profit margin
Net revenue increased 9% primarily reflecting our volume growth, as well as positive effective net pricing across all divisions. The volume gains contributed 4 percentage points to net revenue growth and effective net pricing contributed over 3 percentage points. The impact of acquisitions contributed almost 2 percentage points to net revenue growth. Foreign currency contributed nearly 1 percentage point.
Total operating profit increased 13% and margin increased 0.6 percentage points. The operating profit performance reflects leverage from the revenue growth, as well as the impact of higher raw material and energy costs.
Corporate unallocated expenses decreased 20%. This decrease primarily reflects net gains of $17 million from certain energy-related mark-to-market derivatives, compared to net losses of $10 million in the
16
prior year, as well as lower employee-related costs of $13 million. In 2006, corporate unallocated expenses also reflect a gain of $11 million related to the revaluation of an asset held for sale. Corporate departmental expenses were flat.
Other Consolidated Results
Interest expense, net
Tax rate
Net income per common share - diluted
Bottling equity income decreased 0.5% reflecting our reduced ownership percentage in PBG (from 44.5% to 41.9%), offset by higher earnings from our anchor bottlers.
Net interest expense increased 24% reflecting lower investment balances, lower gains in the market value of investments used to economically hedge a portion of our deferred compensation liability, and higher average rates on our borrowings. This increase was mostly offset by lower debt balances.
The tax rate decreased 2.4 percentage points compared to the prior year primarily due to the timing of certain items related to tax planning initiatives and audit settlements.
Net income increased 16% and the related net income per share increased 17%. These increases primarily reflect our solid operating profit growth and the decrease in our effective tax rate. Net income per share was also favorably impacted by our share repurchases.

Amounts may not sum due to rounding.
Frito-Lay North America
Net revenue
Net revenue grew 7% reflecting volume growth of 3.5% and positive effective net pricing due to pricing actions and favorable mix. Pound volume grew primarily due to double-digit growth in trademark Doritos and SunChips, high-single-digit growth in dips and double-digit growth in multipack. These volume gains were partially offset by mid-single-digit declines in trademark Lays. Overall, salty snacks revenue grew 6% with volume growth of 3%, and other macro snacks revenue grew 13% with volume growth of 9%.
Operating profit grew 7% primarily reflecting the net revenue growth, partially offset by increased advertising and marketing expenses.
Smart Spot eligible products represented approximately 17% of net revenue. These products experienced double-digit net revenue growth, while the balance of the portfolio grew in the mid-single-digit range.
18
PepsiCo Beverages North America
BCS volume grew 1% driven by an 8% increase in non-carbonated beverages, partially offset by a 3% decline in carbonated soft drinks (CSD). The non-carbonated portfolio performance was driven by: double-digit growth in waters and enhanced waters under the Aquafina, Propel and SoBe trademarks; double-digit growth in Lipton ready-to-drink teas; and a low-single-digit increase in Gatorade. Tropicana Pure Premium experienced a double-digit decline driven by a significant price increase. The decline in CSDs reflects a mid-single-digit decline in trademark Pepsi and a low-single-digit decline in trademark Mountain Dew, partially offset by a low-single-digit increase in trademark Sierra Mist. Across the brands, regular CSDs experienced a mid-single-digit decline and diet CSDs declined slightly.
Net revenue grew 5% driven by positive effective net pricing, primarily reflecting the price increases on Tropicana Pure Premium, as well as on CSD concentrate, and the continuing migration from CSDs to higher-priced non-carbonated beverages. Acquisitions contributed 2.5 percentage points to growth. These net revenue gains were partially offset by CSE volume which declined 1% in the quarter and lagged BCS volume due to the timing of shipments.
Operating profit decreased 1% primarily reflecting higher cost of sales, due mainly to higher fruit and juice costs and increased supply chain costs at Gatorade. The operating profit decline was mostly offset by the net revenue gains, as well as the absence of amortization expense recorded in 2006 related to a prior acquisition and lower advertising and marketing expenses, driven by timing.
Smart Spot eligible products represented over 70% of net revenue. These products experienced high-single-digit net revenue growth, while the balance of the portfolio declined in the low-single-digit range.
PepsiCo International
International snacks volume grew 13%, reflecting double-digit growth at Gamesa in Mexico, as well as double-digit growth in Russia, Venezuela, South Africa and Turkey. Additionally, Brazil grew in the mid-single-digit range. Overall, both the Latin America and the Europe, Middle East & Africa regions grew 12%, and the Asia Pacific region grew 19%. The acquisition of a business in Europe in the third quarter of 2006 increased the Europe, Middle East & Africa
19
region volume growth by 3 percentage points. The acquisition of a business in New Zealand in 2007 increased the Asia region volume by 6 percentage points. In aggregate, acquisitions contributed 2 percentage points to the reported total PepsiCo International snack volume growth rate. Additional trading days in Mexico in the quarter contributed approximately 1 percentage point to the volume growth rate.
Beverage volume grew 7%, led by double-digit growth in Venezuela, Russia, Argentina and Brazil, partially offset by single-digit declines in Mexico and Thailand. Additionally, China grew in the high-single-digit range. The Europe, Middle East & Africa region grew 9%, the Latin America region grew 8% and the Asia Pacific region grew 6%. Acquisitions had no impact on the growth rates. CSDs grew at a mid-single-digit rate while non-carbonated beverages grew at a double-digit rate.
Net revenue grew 19%, primarily as a result of the broad-based volume growth and favorable effective net pricing. The net impact of acquisitions and divestitures contributed 3 percentage points to net revenue growth. Foreign currency contributed 2.5 percentage points of growth primarily reflecting the favorable British pound and euro, partially offset by the unfavorable Mexican peso.
Operating profit grew 29% driven primarily by the net revenue growth, partially offset by increased raw material and energy costs. Foreign currency contributed 2 percentage points of growth. The absence of amortization expense recorded in 2006 related to prior acquisitions and the additional trading days in the quarter collectively contributed 4 percentage points to operating profit growth. Acquisitions and divestitures had no net impact on operating profit growth.
Quaker Foods North America
Net revenue and volume each increased 5%. The volume increase reflects high-single-digit growth in Oatmeal, mid-single-digit growth in Aunt Jemima syrup and mix, and low-single-digit growth in Capn Crunch cereal. These increases were partially offset by a mid-single-digit decline in Life cereal. The net revenue growth was primarily driven by the volume growth.
Operating profit increased 3% reflecting the net revenue growth and lower advertising and marketing expenses. The operating profit increase was partially offset by increased raw material costs.
Smart Spot eligible products represented approximately 60% of net revenue and experienced mid-single-digit net revenue growth. The balance of the portfolio also grew in the mid-single-digit range.
20
OUR LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
In the first quarter of 2007, our operations provided $626 million in cash compared to $173 million in the prior year. The operating cash flow in the first quarter of 2006 reflects a tax payment of $420 million related to our repatriation of international cash in 2005 in connection with the American Jobs Creation Act (AJCA). Seasonality contributed to a use of cash in operating working capital accounts in both periods.
During the quarter, we used $198 million for investing activities reflecting acquisitions of $431 million, primarily the Naked Juice Company and Bluebird Foods, and capital spending of $267 million, partially offset by sales of short-term investments of $402 million and proceeds from our sale of PBG stock of $94 million.
We anticipate net capital spending of approximately $2.6 billion in 2007, which is expected to be within our net capital spending target of approximately 5% to 7% of net revenue in each of the next few years.
During the quarter, we used $1.1 billion for our financing activities, primarily reflecting the return of operating cash flow to our shareholders through common share repurchases of $882 million and dividend payments of $498 million, partially offset by stock option proceeds of $236 million.
Management Operating Cash Flow
We focus on management operating cash flow as a key element in achieving maximum shareholder value, and it is the primary measure we use to monitor cash flow performance. However, it is not a measure provided by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. 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. The table below reconciles the net cash provided by operating activities as reflected in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows to our management operating cash flow.
Net cash provided by operating activities
Management operating cash flow
21
In the first quarter of 2006, management operating cash flow reflects our tax payment of $420 million related to our repatriation of international cash in 2005 in connection with the AJCA. During 2007, we expect to continue to return approximately all of our management operating cash flow to our shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. However, see Risk Factors in Item 1A. and Our Business Risks in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006 for certain factors that may impact our operating cash flows.

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
We have reviewed the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of PepsiCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of March 24, 2007, and the related Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, Comprehensive Income and Cash Flows for the twelve weeks ended March 24, 2007 and March 25, 2006. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of PepsiCo, Inc.s management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Consolidated Balance Sheet of PepsiCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 30, 2006, and the related Consolidated Statements of Income, Common Shareholders Equity and Cash Flows for the year then ended not presented herein; and in our report dated February 16, 2007, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 30, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the Consolidated Balance Sheet from which it has been derived.

ITEM 4.
Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In addition, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our first fiscal quarter of 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
