NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Basis of Presentation and Our Divisions
Basis of Presentation
Our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 22, 2008 and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, Cash Flows and Comprehensive Income for the 12 weeks ended March 22, 2008 and March 24, 2007 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 fiscal year ended December 29, 2007. 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.
Our share of equity income or loss from our anchor bottlers is recorded as bottling equity income in our income statement. Bottling equity income also includes pre-tax gains on our sale of PBG and PAS stock of $46 million in the 12 weeks ended March 22, 2008 and pre-tax gains on our sale of PBG stock of $50 million in the 12 weeks ended March 24, 2007. Our share of income or loss from other noncontrolled affiliates is recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses.
While the majority of our results are reported on a period basis, most of our international operations report on a monthly calendar basis for which the months of January and February are reflected in our first quarter results.
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 otherwise noted and are based on unrounded amounts. This report should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2007 and our Form 8-K filed on April 7, 2008 in which we revised historical segment information on a basis consistent with our new segment reporting structure.

Stock-Based Compensation
For the 12 weeks, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of $72 million in 2008 and $63 million in 2007. For the 12 weeks, we granted 12 million stock options and 2 million restricted stock units (RSU) at a weighted average grant price of $68.75, under the terms of our 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP).

Pension and Retiree Medical Benefits
On December 30, 2006, we adopted SFAS 158Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R) (SFAS 158). SFAS 158 requires that, no later than 2008, our assumptions used to measure our annual pension and retiree medical expense be determined as of the balance sheet date, and all plan assets and liabilities be reported as of that date. Accordingly, as of the beginning of our 2008 fiscal year, we changed the measurement date for our annual pension and retiree medical expense and all plan assets and liabilities from September 30 to our year-end balance sheet date. As a result of this change in measurement date, we recorded an after-tax $39 million decrease to 2008 opening shareholders’ equity, as follows:
Total
As of March 22, 2008, approximately 3%, or approximately $151 million (at fair value), of securities in the investment portfolio of our U.S. pension plans are subprime mortgage holdings. We do not believe that the ultimate realization of such investments will result in a material impact to future pension expense, future contributions or the funded status of our plans.

Options to purchase 11 million shares in 2007 were not included in the calculation of earnings per share because these options were out-of-the-money. Out-of-the-money options had an average exercise price of $65.01 in 2007.

Fair Value
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (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. However, the FASB deferred the effective date of SFAS 157, until the beginning of our 2009 fiscal year, as it relates to fair value measurement requirements for nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are not remeasured at fair value on a recurring basis. These include goodwill, other nonamortizable intangible assets and unallocated purchase price for recent acquisitions which are included within other assets. We adopted SFAS 157 at the beginning of our 2008 fiscal year and our adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
The fair value framework requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. 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 and liabilities.
Level 2: Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active marketsor quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.
13
As of March 22, 2008, the fair values of our financial assets and liabilities are categorized as follows:

Available-for-sale securities(b)
Forward exchange contracts(c)
Commodity contracts(d)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
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. We adopted SFAS 159 as of the beginning of our 2008 fiscal year and our adoption did not impact our financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS 141R), and SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (SFAS 160), to improve, simplify, and converge internationally the accounting for business combinations and the reporting of noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements. The provisions of SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 are effective as of the beginning of our 2009 fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 on our financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 161), which amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133), to provide an enhanced understanding of an entity’s use of derivative instruments, how they are accounted for under SFAS 133 and their effect on the entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The provisions of SFAS 161 are effective as of the beginning of our 2009 fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 161 on our financial statements.

ITEM 2. Management’s 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 toBasis 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.
Income Taxes
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. Subsequent recognition, derecognition and measurement of a tax position taken in a previous period are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159 which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. We adopted SFAS 159 as of the beginning of our 2008 fiscal year and our adoption did not impact our financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 to improve, simplify, and converge internationally the accounting for business combinations and the reporting of noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements. The provisions of SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 are effective as of the beginning of our 2009 fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 on our financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161 which amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS 133 to provide an enhanced understanding of an entity’s use of derivative instruments,
15
how they are accounted for under SFAS 133 and their effect on the entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The provisions of SFAS 161 are effective as of the beginning of our 2009 fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 161 on our financial statements.
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 40% 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 3 percentage points to net revenue growth, primarily due to the appreciation in the Canadian dollar, euro and Brazilian real. 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 Management’s Discussion and Analysis and in Item 1A. in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2007 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. Additionally, “acquisitions” reflect all mergers and acquisitions activity, including the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and changes in ownership in consolidated subsidiaries and non-consolidated equity investees.
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 2008, total servings increased 4% for the 12 weeks, with worldwide beverages and snacks each growing 4%.
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 bottler sales for PepsiCo Beverages North America (PBNA) for January, February and
16
March and bottler sales outside of North America 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

Corporate unallocated
Total operating profit
Total operating profit margin
See Results of Operations – Division Review for a tabular presentation and discussion of key drivers of net revenue.
Total operating profit increased 9% and margin decreased 0.7 percentage points. The operating profit performance reflects leverage from the revenue growth, offset by increased cost of sales, largely due to higher raw material costs. The impact of foreign currency contributed almost 3 percentage points to operating profit growth and the impact of acquisitions contributed 1 percentage point.
Corporate unallocated expenses increased 10%. This increase primarily reflects net losses of $4 million from certain mark-to-market derivatives (compared to net gains of $17 million in the prior year), $17 million of higher costs associated with our ongoing business transformation initiative and $10 million of increased research and development costs. These increases were partially offset by lower deferred compensation costs of $21 million. The decrease in deferred compensation costs is offset (as a reduction to interest income) by losses on investments used to economically hedge these costs.

Other Consolidated Results
Interest expense, net
Tax rate
Net income per common share – diluted
Bottling equity income decreased 5%, primarily reflecting lower pre-tax gains on our sale of PBG stock, partially offset by pre-tax gains on our sale of PAS stock in the current quarter.
Net interest expense increased $37 million, reflecting losses in the market value of investments used to economically hedge a portion of our deferred compensation liability. The impact of higher debt balances was partially offset by lower average rates on our borrowings.
The tax rate increased 1.1 percentage points compared to the prior year, primarily due to a favorable audit settlement in 2007.
Net income increased 5% and the related net income per share increased 7%. These increases primarily reflect our solid operating profit growth, partially offset by the increase in our effective tax rate. Net income per share was also favorably impacted by our share repurchases.

Includes the year-over-year impact of discrete pricing actions, sales incentive activities and mix resulting from selling varying products in different package sizes and in different countries.
Amounts may not sum due to rounding.
Frito-Lay North America
Net revenue
Net revenue grew 7%, reflecting volume growth of 2% and positive effective net pricing, primarily due to salty snack pricing actions. Pound volume grew primarily due to mid-single-digit growth in trademark Lay’s and high-single-digit growth in trademark Cheetos and in dips, partially offset by a double-digit decline in Quaker rice cakes, as well as a low-single-digit decline in trademark Doritos which overlapped double-digit growth in the prior year. The impact of favorable Canadian exchange rates contributed 1.5 percentage points to net revenue growth.
Operating profit grew 4%, reflecting the net revenue growth, partially offset by higher commodity costs, primarily cooking oil and fuel. The impact of favorable Canadian exchange rates contributed 1 percentage point to operating profit growth.
Smart Spot eligible products represented approximately 16% of net revenue. These products grew slightly compared to the prior year, while the balance of the portfolio experienced high-single-digit revenue growth.
19
Quaker Foods North America
Net revenue increased 7% while volume was flat. The volume performance reflects mid-single-digit growth in ready-to-eat cereals offset by a double-digit decline in Rice-A-Roni and a mid-single-digit decline in Aunt Jemima syrup and mix. The net revenue growth primarily reflects effective net pricing due to price increases taken last year and favorable mix. Favorable Canadian exchange rates contributed nearly 2 percentage points to net revenue growth.
Operating profit increased 7%, primarily reflecting the net revenue growth partially offset by increased raw material costs. Lower distribution costs and lower advertising and marketing expenses also contributed to the increase.
Smart Spot eligible products represented approximately 60% of net revenue and experienced mid-single-digit net revenue growth. The balance of the portfolio grew in the high-single-digit range.
Latin America Foods
Snacks volume grew 8%, primarily reflecting high-single-digit growth at Gamesa in Mexico, partially offset by a low-single-digit decline at Sabritas in Mexico resulting from pricing actions. An acquisition in Brazil in the third quarter of 2007 contributed 3.5 percentage points to the reported volume growth rate.
Net revenue grew 37%, reflecting favorable effective net pricing and the volume growth. Acquisitions contributed 20 percentage points and foreign currency contributed 5.5 percentage points to the net revenue growth.
Operating profit grew 27%, driven by the net revenue growth, partially offset by increased commodity costs. Acquisitions contributed 7 percentage points and foreign currency contributed 4 percentage points to the operating profit growth.
20
PepsiCo Americas Beverages
BCS volume declined 1%, driven by a 2% decline in PBNA, partially offset by a 6% increase in Latin America.
At PBNA, BCS volume declined 2%, driven by a 3% decline in CSDs. Non-carbonated beverage volume was unchanged. The decline in the CSD portfolio reflects a mid-single-digit decline in trademark Pepsi and a low-single-digit decline in trademark Sierra Mist. Trademark Mountain Dew volume was up slightly. The non-carbonated portfolio performance was driven by mid-single-digit growth in Gatorade sports drinks, entirely offset by mid-single-digit declines in our juice and juice drinks portfolio and in our base Aquafina water business.
In Latin America, volume growth was broad-based and reflected a mid-single-digit increase in CSDs and a high-single-digit increase in non-carbonated beverages.
Net revenue grew 6%, driven by effective net pricing, partially offset by volume declines. The effective net pricing reflects positive mix and price increases taken on Gatorade in the prior year and on CSD concentrate this year. Favorable foreign currency contributed 1 percentage point to the net revenue growth.
Operating profit increased 7%, primarily reflecting the net revenue growth. Favorable foreign currency contributed 2 percentage points to operating profit growth.
Smart Spot eligible products in the U.S. and Canada represented over 70% of PBNA’s net revenue. These products, as well as the balance of the portfolio, experienced mid-single-digit net revenue growth.
United Kingdom & Europe
Snacks volume grew 8%, reflecting broad-based increases led by double-digit growth in Russia, partially offset by a low-single-digit decline at Walkers in the United Kingdom. Additionally, Spain grew at a high-single-digit rate. The acquisition of a business in Bulgaria in the quarter contributed 1 percentage point to the volume growth.
Beverage volume grew 25%, reflecting acquisitions and broad-based increases led by double-digit growth in Poland, Romania and Russia, partially offset by a low-single-digit decline in Germany.
21
Additionally, the United Kingdom grew at a high-single-digit rate. The Sandora acquisition and the expansion of the Pepsi Lipton Joint Venture contributed 17 points to the growth. CSDs grew at a mid-single-digit rate and non-carbonated beverages grew at a double-digit rate.
Net revenue grew 23%, reflecting volume growth and favorable effective net pricing. Foreign currency contributed 9 percentage points and acquisitions contributed 6 percentage points to net revenue growth.
Operating profit grew 18%, driven primarily by the net revenue growth, partially offset by increased raw material costs. Foreign currency contributed 10 percentage points of growth and acquisitions reduced operating profit growth by 3 percentage points.
Middle East, Africa & Asia
Snacks volume grew 15%, reflecting broad-based growth. China, South Africa, the Middle East and India all grew at double-digit rates.
Beverage volume grew 11%, reflecting broad-based growth led by double-digit growth in China and the Middle East. Additionally, India grew at a high-single-digit rate. Acquisitions contributed slightly to the growth rate. Both CSDs and non-carbonated beverages grew at double-digit rates.
Net revenue grew 30%, reflecting volume growth and favorable effective net pricing. Foreign currency contributed 8 percentage points and acquisitions contributed 6 percentage points to the net revenue growth.
Operating profit grew 32%, driven primarily by the net revenue growth, partially offset by increased raw material costs. Acquisitions contributed 8 percentage points and foreign currency contributed 7 percentage points to operating profit growth.
OUR LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
In the first quarter of 2008, our operations provided $520 million in cash compared to $626 million in the prior year. Seasonality contributed to a use of cash in operating working capital accounts in both periods.
22
During the quarter, our investing activities provided $236 million in cash, primarily due to proceeds from sales of short-term investments of $558 million and proceeds from sales of PBG and PAS stock of $80 million. These proceeds were partially offset by net capital spending of $256 million and acquisitions of $146 million.
We anticipate net capital spending of approximately $2.7 billion in 2008.
During the quarter, we used $71 million for our financing activities, primarily reflecting the return of operating cash flow to our shareholders through common share repurchases of $1.5 billion and dividend payments of $610 million, mostly offset by an increase in our short-term borrowings of $2.0 billion.
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
During 2008, 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 29, 2007 for certain factors that may impact our operating cash flows.

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
PepsiCo, Inc.:
We have reviewed the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of PepsiCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of March 22, 2008, the related Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, Comprehensive Income and Cash Flows for the twelve weeks ended March 22, 2008 and March 24, 2007. 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 29, 2007, 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 15, 2008, except as to Notes 1, 3 and 4, which are as of April 7, 2008, 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 29, 2007, 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.
During our first fiscal quarter of 2008, we continued migrating certain of our financial processing systems to SAP software. This software implementation is part of our ongoing global business transformation initiative, and we plan to continue implementing such software throughout other parts of our businesses over the course of the next few years. In connection with the SAP implementation and resulting business process changes, we continue to enhance the design and documentation of our internal control processes to ensure suitable controls over our financial reporting.
Except as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our first fiscal quarter of 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
