(1)  Our fiscal year 2008 results include a $412 million pre-tax non-cash impairment charge related primarily to distribution rights and product brands in Mexico and an $83 million pre-tax charge related to restructuring charges. See Items Affecting Comparability of Our Financial Results in Item 7.
 
(2)  Our fiscal year 2007 results include a $30 million pre-tax charge related to restructuring charges and a $23 million pre-tax charge related to our asset disposal plan. See Items Affecting Comparability of Our Financial Results in Item 7.
 
(3)  In 2007, we made a classification correction for certain miscellaneous costs incurred from product losses in the trade. Approximately $90 million and $92 million of costs incurred, which were incorrectly included in selling, delivery and administrative expenses, were reclassified to cost of sales in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended 2006 and 2005, respectively. We have not reclassified these expenses for the 2004 fiscal year.
 
(4)  In fiscal year 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” resulting in a $65 million decrease in operating income or $0.17 per diluted earnings per share. Results for prior periods have not been restated as provided for under the modified prospective approach.
 
(5)  Our fiscal year 2005 results include an extra week of activity. The pre-tax income generated from the extra week was spent back in strategic initiatives within our selling, delivery and administrative expenses and, accordingly, had no impact on our diluted earnings per share.
 
(6)  Our fiscal year 2007 results include a non-cash tax benefit of $46 million due to the reversal of net tax contingency reserves and a net non-cash benefit of $13 million due to tax law changes in Canada and Mexico. See Note 13 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
(7)  Our fiscal year 2006 results include a tax benefit of $11 million from tax law changes in Canada, Turkey, and in various U.S. jurisdictions and a $55 million tax benefit from the reversal of tax contingency reserves due to completion of our IRS audit of our 1999-2000 income tax returns. See Note 13 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
(8)  Our fiscal year 2004 results include Mexico tax law change benefit of $26 million and international tax restructuring charge of $30 million.
 
(9)  In fiscal year 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans” and recorded a $159 million loss, net of taxes and noncontrolling interests, to accumulated other comprehensive loss.

MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL REVIEW
 
Tabular dollars in millions, except per share data
 
OUR BUSINESS
 
The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc. is the world’s largest manufacturer, seller and distributor of Pepsi-Cola beverages. When used in these Consolidated Financial Statements, “PBG,” “we,” “our,” “us” and the “Company” each refers to The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc. and, where appropriate, to Bottling Group, LLC (“Bottling LLC”), our principal operating subsidiary.
 
We have the exclusive right to manufacture, sell and distribute Pepsi-Cola beverages in all or a portion of the U.S., Mexico, Canada, Spain, Russia, Greece and Turkey. PBG manages and reports operating results through three reportable segments: U.S. & Canada, Europe (which includes Spain, Russia, Greece and Turkey) and Mexico. As shown in the graph below, the U.S. & Canada segment is the dominant driver of our results, generating 68 percent of our volume and 75 percent of our net revenues.
 
     
Volume
Total: 1.6 Billion Raw Cases
  Revenue
Total: $13.8 Billion
     
(BAR GRAPH)   (BAR GRAPH)
 
The majority of our volume is derived from brands licensed from PepsiCo, Inc. (“PepsiCo”) or PepsiCo joint ventures. These brands are some of the most recognized in the world and consist of carbonated soft drinks (“CSDs”) and non-carbonated beverages. Our CSDs include brands such as Pepsi-Cola, Diet Pepsi, Diet Pepsi Max, Mountain Dew and Sierra Mist. Our non-carbonated beverages portfolio includes brands with Starbucks Frapuccino in the ready-to-drink coffee category; Mountain Dew Amp and SoBe Adrenaline Rush in the energy drink category; SoBe and Tropicana in the juice and juice drinks category; Aquafina in the water category; and Lipton Iced Tea in the tea category. We continue to strengthen our powerful portfolio highlighted by our focus on the hydration category with SoBe Life Water, Propel fitness water and G2 in the U.S. In some of our territories we have the right to manufacture, sell and distribute soft drink products of companies other than PepsiCo, including Dr Pepper, Crush and Squirt. We also have the right in some of our territories to manufacture, sell and distribute beverages under brands that we own, including Electropura, e-pura and Garci Crespo. See Part I, Item 1 of this report for a listing of our principal products by segment.
 
We sell our products through cold-drink and take-home channels. Our cold-drink channel consists of chilled products sold in the retail and foodservice channels. We earn the highest profit margins on a per-case basis in the cold-drink channel. Our take-home channel consists of unchilled products that are sold in the retail, mass merchandiser and club store channels for at-home consumption.
 
Our products are brought to market primarily through direct store delivery (“DSD”) or third-party distribution, including foodservice and vending distribution networks. The hallmarks of the Company’s DSD system are customer service, speed to market, flexibility and reach. These are all critical factors in bringing new products to market, adding accounts to our existing base and meeting increasingly diverse volume demands.
 
Our customers range from large format accounts, including large chain foodstores, supercenters, mass merchandisers, chain drug stores, club stores and military bases, to small independently owned shops and foodservice businesses. Changing consumer shopping trends and “on-the-go” lifestyles are shifting more of our volume to fast-growing channels such as supercenters, club and dollar stores. Retail consolidation continues to increase the strategic significance of our large-volume customers. In 2008, sales to our top five retail customers represented approximately 19 percent of our net revenues.
 
PBG’s focus is on superior sales execution, customer service, merchandising and operating excellence. Our goal is to help our customers grow their beverage business by making our portfolio of brands readily available to consumers at every shopping occasion, using proven methods to grow not only PepsiCo brand sales, but the overall beverage category. Our objective is to ensure we have the right product in the right package to satisfy the ever changing needs of today’s consumers.
 
We measure our sales in terms of physical cases sold to our customers. Each package, as sold to our customers, regardless of configuration or number of units within a package, represents one physical case. Our net price and gross margin on a per-case basis are impacted by how much we charge for the product, the mix of brands and packages we sell, and the channels through which the product is sold. For example, we realize a higher net revenue and gross margin per case on a 20-ounce chilled bottle sold in a convenience store than on a 2-liter unchilled bottle sold in a grocery store.
 
Our financial success is dependent on a number of factors, including: our strong partnership with PepsiCo, the customer relationships we cultivate, the pricing we achieve in the marketplace, our market execution, our ability to meet changing consumer preferences and the efficiencies we achieve in manufacturing and distributing our products. Key indicators of our financial success are: the number of physical cases we sell, the net price and gross margin we achieve on a per-case basis, our overall cost productivity which reflects how well we manage our raw material, manufacturing, distribution and other overhead costs, and cash and capital management.
 
The discussion and analysis throughout Management’s Financial Review should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related accompanying notes. The preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in our Consolidated Financial Statements and the related accompanying notes, including various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, taxes, environmental and other matters arising from the normal course of business. We apply our best judgment, our knowledge of existing facts and circumstances and actions that we may undertake in the future, in determining the estimates that affect our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Table of Contents

We evaluate our estimates on an on-going 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 may differ from these estimates.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Management believes the following policies, which require the use of estimates, assumptions and the application of judgment, to be the most critical to the portrayal of PBG’s results of operations and financial condition. We applied our critical accounting policies and estimation methods consistently in all material respects and have discussed the selection of these policies and related disclosures with the Audit and Affiliated Transactions Committee of our Board of Directors.
 
Other Intangible Assets, net and Goodwill
 
Our intangible assets consist primarily of franchise rights, distribution rights, licensing rights, brands and goodwill and principally arise from the allocation of the purchase price of businesses acquired. These intangible assets, other than goodwill, are classified as either finite-lived intangibles or indefinite-lived intangibles.
 
The classification of intangibles and the determination of the appropriate useful life require substantial judgment. The determination of the expected life depends upon the use and underlying characteristics of the intangible asset. In our evaluation of the expected life of these intangible assets, we consider the nature and terms of the underlying agreements; our intent and ability to use the specific asset; the age and market position of the products within the territories in which we are entitled to sell; the historical and projected growth of those products; and costs, if any, to renew the related agreement.
 
Intangible assets that are determined to have a finite life are amortized over their expected useful life, which generally ranges from five to twenty years. For intangible assets with finite lives, evaluations for impairment are performed only if facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
 
Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized; however, they are evaluated for impairment at least annually or more frequently if facts and circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. Prior to 2008, the Company completed this test in the fourth quarter. During 2008, the Company changed its impairment testing of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives to the third quarter, with the exception of Mexico’s intangible assets. Impairment testing of Mexico’s intangible assets with indefinite useful lives was completed in the fourth quarter to coincide with the completion of our strategic review of the business.
 
We evaluate goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level, which we determined to be the countries in which we operate. We evaluate goodwill for impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit, as determined by its discounted cash flows, with its carrying value. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we compare the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with its carrying amount to measure the amount of impairment loss.
 
We evaluate other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives for impairment by comparing the fair values of the assets with their carrying values. The fair value of our franchise rights, distribution rights and licensing rights is measured using a multi-period excess earnings method that is based upon estimated discounted future cash flows. The fair value of our brands is measured using a multi-period royalty savings method, which reflects the savings realized by owning the brand and, therefore, not requiring payment of third party royalty fees.
 
Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate discounted future cash flows in conducting an impairment analysis for goodwill and other intangible assets. The cash flows may be impacted by future actions taken by us and our competitors and the volatility of macroeconomic conditions in the markets in which we conduct business. Assumptions used in our impairment analysis, such as forecasted growth rates, cost of capital and additional risk premiums used in the valuations, are based on the best available market information and are consistent with our long-term strategic plans. An inability to achieve strategic business plan targets in a reporting unit, a change in our discount rate or other assumptions could have a significant impact on the fair value of our reporting units and other intangible assets, which could then result in a material non-cash impairment charge to our results of operations. The recent volatility in the global macroeconomic conditions has had a negative impact on our business results. If this volatility continues to persist into the future, the fair value of our intangible assets could be adversely impacted.
 
As a result of the 2008 impairment test for goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives, the Company recorded a $412 million non-cash impairment charge relating primarily to distribution rights and brands for the Electropura water business in Mexico. The impairment charge relating to these intangible assets was based upon the findings of an extensive strategic review and the finalization of restructuring plans for our Mexican business. In light of the weakening macroeconomic conditions and our outlook for the business in Mexico, we lowered our expectation of the future performance, which reduced the value of these intangible assets and triggered the impairment charge. After recording the above mentioned impairment charge, Mexico’s remaining net book value of goodwill and other intangible assets is approximately $367 million.
 
For further information about our goodwill and other intangible assets see Note 6 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
Pension and Postretirement Medical Benefit Plans
 
We sponsor pension and other postretirement medical benefit plans in various forms in the United States and similar pension plans in our international locations, covering employees who meet specified eligibility requirements. The assets, liabilities and expenses associated with our international plans were not significant to our worldwide results of operations or financial position, and accordingly, assumptions, expenses, sensitivity analyses and other data regarding these plans are not included in any of the discussions provided below.

PART II (continued)    
     

 
In the U.S., the non-contributory defined benefit pension plans provide benefits to certain full-time salaried and hourly employees. Benefits are generally based on years of service and compensation, or stated amounts for each year of service. Effective January 1, 2007, newly hired salaried and non-union hourly employees are not eligible to participate in these plans. Additionally, effective April 1, 2009, benefits from these plans will no longer continue to accrue for certain salaried and non-union employees that do not meet age and service requirements. The impact of these plan changes will significantly reduce the Company’s future long-term pension obligation, pension expense and cash contributions to the plans. Employees not eligible to participate in these plans or employees whose benefits will be discontinued will receive additional Company retirement contributions under the Company’s defined contribution plans.
 
Substantially all of our U.S. employees meeting age and service requirements are eligible to participate in our postretirement medical benefit plans.
 
Assumptions
Effective for the 2008 fiscal year, the Company adopted the measurement date provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans” (“SFAS 158”). As a result of adopting SFAS 158, the Company’s measurement date for plan assets and benefit obligations was changed from September 30 to its fiscal year end.
 
The determination of pension and postretirement 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 benefit obligations. Significant assumptions include discount rate; expected return on plan assets; certain employee-related factors such as retirement age, mortality, and turnover; rate of salary increases for plans where benefits are based on earnings; and for retiree medical plans, health care cost trend rates.
 
On an annual basis we evaluate these assumptions, which are based upon historical experience of the plans and management’s best judgment regarding future expectations. These assumptions may differ materially from actual results due to changing market and economic conditions. A change in the assumptions or economic events outside our control could have a material impact on the measurement of our pension and postretirement medical benefit expenses and obligations as well as related funding requirements.
 
The discount rates used in calculating the present value of our pension and postretirement medical benefit plan obligations are developed based on a yield curve that is comprised of high-quality, non-callable corporate bonds. These bonds are rated Aa or better by Moody’s; have a principal amount of at least $250 million; are denominated in U.S. dollars; and have maturity dates ranging from six months to thirty years, which matches the timing of our expected benefit payments.
 
The expected rate of return on plan assets for a given fiscal year is based upon actual historical returns and the long-term outlook on asset classes in the pension plans’ investment portfolio. In connection with the pension plan design change we changed our asset allocation targets. The current target asset allocation for the U.S. pension plans is 65 percent equity investments, of which approximately half is to be invested in domestic equities and half is to be invested in foreign equities. The remaining 35 percent is to be invested primarily in long-term corporate bonds. Based on our revised asset allocation, historical returns and estimated future outlook of the pension plans’ portfolio, we changed our 2009 estimated long-term rate of return on plan assets assumption from 8.5 percent to 8.0 percent.
 
Differences between the assumed rate of return and actual rate of return on plan assets are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss in equity and amortized to earnings utilizing the market-related value method. Under this method, differences between the assumed rate of return and actual rate of return from any one year will be recognized over a five year period to determine the market related value.
 
Other gains and losses resulting from changes in actuarial assumptions and from differences between assumed and actual experience are determined at each measurement date and deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss in equity. To the extent the amount of all unrecognized gains and losses exceeds 10 percent of the larger of the benefit obligation or plan assets, such amount is amortized to earnings over the average remaining service period of active participants.
 
The cost or benefit from benefit plan changes is also deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss in equity and amortized to earnings on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of the employees expected to receive benefits.
 
Net unrecognized losses and unamortized prior service costs relating to the pension and postretirement plans in the United States, totaled $969 million and $449 million at December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, respectively.
 
The following tables provide the weighted-average assumptions for our 2009 and 2008 pension and postretirement medical plans’ expense:
 
                 
Pension   2009     2008  
Discount rate
    6.20%       6.70%  
Expected rate of return on plan assets (net of administrative expenses)
    8.00%       8.50%  
Rate of compensation increase
    3.53%       3.56%  
                 
 
                 
Postretirement   2009     2008  
Discount rate
    6.50%       6.35%  
Rate of compensation increase
    3.53%       3.56%  
Health care cost trend rate
    8.75%       9.50%  
                 
 
During 2008, our ongoing defined benefit pension and postretirement medical plan expenses totaled $87 million, which excludes one-time charges of approximately $27 million associated with restructuring actions and our pension plan design change. In 2009, these expenses are expected to increase by approximately $11 million to $98 million as a result of the following factors:
 
  A decrease in our weighted-average discount rate for our pension expense from 6.70 percent to 6.20 percent, reflecting decreases in the yields of long-term corporate bonds comprising the yield curve. This change in

Table of Contents

assumption will increase our 2009 pension expense by approximately $18 million.
 
  Asset losses during 2008 will increase our pension expense by $20 million.
 
  A decrease in the rate of return on plan asset assumption from 8.5 percent to 8.0 percent, due to revised asset allocation, historical trends and our projected long-term outlook. This change in assumption will increase our 2009 pension expense by approximately $8 million.
 
  The pension design change, which will freeze benefits of certain salaried and non-union hourly employees, will decrease our 2009 pension expense by approximately $20 million.
 
  Additional expected contributions to the pension trust will decrease 2009 pension expense by $11 million.
 
  Other factors, including improved health care claim experience, will decrease our 2009 defined benefit pension and postretirement medical expenses by approximately $4 million.
 
In addition, we expect our defined contribution plan expense will increase by $10 million to $15 million due to additional contributions to this plan for employees impacted by the pension design change.
 
Sensitivity Analysis
It is unlikely that in any given year the actual rate of return will be the same as the assumed long-term rate of return. The following table provides a summary for the last three years of actual rates of return versus expected long-term rates of return for our pension plan assets:
 
                         
    2008     2007     2006  
Expected rates of return on plan assets (net of administrative expenses)
    8.50 %     8.50 %     8.50 %
Actual rates of return on plan assets (net of administrative expenses)
    (28.50 )%     12.64 %     9.74 %
                         
 
Sensitivity of changes in key assumptions for our pension and postretirement plans’ expense in 2009 are as follows:
 
  Discount rate – A 25 basis point change in the discount rate would increase or decrease the 2009 expense for the pension and postretirement medical benefit plans by approximately $9 million.
 
  Expected rate of return on plan assets – A 25 basis point change in the expected return on plan assets would increase or decrease the 2009 expense for the pension plans by approximately $4 million. The postretirement medical benefit plans have no expected return on plan assets as they are funded from the general assets of the Company as the payments come due.
 
  Contribution to the plan – A $20 million decrease in planned contributions to the plan for 2009 will increase our pension expense by $1 million.
 
Funding
We make contributions to the pension trust to provide plan benefits for certain pension plans. Generally, we do not fund the pension plans if current contributions would not be tax deductible. Effective in 2008, under the Pension Protection Act, funding requirements are more stringent and require companies to make minimum contributions equal to their service cost plus amortization of their deficit over a seven year period. Failure to achieve appropriate funded levels will result in restrictions on employee benefits. Failure to contribute the minimum required contributions will result in excise taxes for the Company and reporting to the regulatory agencies. During 2008, the Company contributed $85 million to its pension trusts. The Company expects to contribute an additional $150 million to its pension trusts in 2009, of which approximately $54 million is to satisfy minimum funding requirements. These amounts exclude $23 million and $35 million of contributions to the unfunded plans for the years ended December 27, 2008 and December 26, 2009, respectively.
 
For further information about our pension and postretirement plans see Note 12 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
Casualty Insurance Costs
 
Due to the nature of our business, we require insurance coverage for certain casualty risks. In the United States, we use a combination of insurance and self-insurance mechanisms, including a wholly owned captive insurance entity. This captive entity participates in a reinsurance pool for a portion of our workers’ compensation risk. We provide self-insurance for the workers’ compensation risk retained by the Company and automobile risks up to $10 million per occurrence, and product and general liability risks up to $5 million per occurrence. For losses exceeding these self-insurance thresholds, we purchase casualty insurance from third-party providers.
 
At December 27, 2008, our net liability for casualty costs was $235 million, of which $70 million was considered short-term in nature. At December 29, 2007, our net liability for casualty costs was $222 million, of which $65 million was considered short-term in nature.
 
Our liability for casualty costs is estimated using individual case-based valuations and statistical analyses and is based upon historical experience, actuarial assumptions and professional judgment. We do not discount our loss expense reserves. These estimates are subject to the effects of trends in loss severity and frequency and are subject to a significant degree of inherent variability. We evaluate these estimates periodically during the year and we believe that they are appropriate; however, an increase or decrease in the estimates or events outside our control could have a material impact on reported net income. Accordingly, the ultimate settlement of these costs may vary significantly from the estimates included in our financial statements.
 
Income Taxes
 
Our effective tax rate is based on pre-tax income, statutory tax rates, tax laws and regulations and tax planning strategies available to us in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Significant management judgment is required in evaluating our tax positions and in determining our effective tax rate.
 
Our deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect our best estimate of the tax benefits and costs we expect to realize in the future. We establish valuation

allowances to reduce our deferred tax assets to an amount that will more likely than not be realized.
 
As required under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), which we adopted as of the beginning of fiscal year 2007, we recognize the impact of our tax positions in our financial statements if those positions will more likely than not be sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. A number of years may elapse before an uncertain tax position for which we have established a tax reserve is audited and finally resolved, and the number of years for which we have audits that are open varies depending on the tax jurisdiction. While it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of the resolution of an audit, we believe that our reserves for uncertain tax benefits reflect the outcome of tax positions that is more likely than not to occur. Nevertheless, it is possible that tax authorities may disagree with our tax positions, which could have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The resolution of a tax position could be recognized as an adjustment to our provision for income taxes and our deferred taxes in the period of resolution, and may also require a use of cash.
 
For further information about our income taxes see “Income Tax Expense” in the Results of Operations and Note 13 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
RELATIONSHIP WITH PEPSICO
 
PepsiCo is a related party due to the nature of our franchise relationship and its ownership interest in our company. More than 80 percent of our volume is derived from the sale of PepsiCo brands. At December 27, 2008, PepsiCo owned approximately 33.2 percent of our outstanding common stock and 100 percent of our outstanding class B common stock, together representing approximately 40.2 percent of the voting power of all classes of our voting stock. In addition, at December 27, 2008, PepsiCo owned 6.6 percent of the equity of Bottling LLC and 40 percent of PR Beverages Limited (“PR Beverages”), a consolidated venture for our Russian operations. We fully consolidate the results of Bottling LLC and PR Beverages and present PepsiCo’s share as noncontrolling interests in our Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
On March 1, 2007, together with PepsiCo, we formed PR Beverages, a venture that enables us to strategically invest in Russia to accelerate our growth. PBG contributed its business in Russia to PR Beverages, and PepsiCo entered into bottling agreements with PR Beverages for PepsiCo beverage products sold in Russia on the same terms as in effect for PBG immediately prior to the venture. PR Beverages has an exclusive license to manufacture and sell PepsiCo concentrate for such products. Increases in gross profit and operating income resulting from the consolidation of the venture are offset by net income attributable to noncontrolling interests related to PepsiCo’s share. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is recorded below income tax expense.
 
Our business is conducted primarily under beverage agreements with PepsiCo, including a master bottling agreement, non-cola bottling agreements, distribution agreements and a master syrup agreement. These agreements provide PepsiCo with the ability, at its sole discretion, to establish prices, and other terms and conditions for our purchase of concentrates and finished products from PepsiCo. PepsiCo provides us with bottler funding to support a variety of trade and consumer programs such as consumer incentives, advertising support, new product support and vending and cooler equipment placement. The nature and type of programs, as well as the level of funding, vary annually. Additionally, under a shared services agreement, we obtain various services from PepsiCo, which include services for information technology maintenance and the procurement of raw materials. We also provide services to PepsiCo, including facility and credit and collection support.
 
Because we depend on PepsiCo to provide us with concentrate which we use in the production of CSDs and non-carbonated beverages, bottler incentives and various services, changes in our relationship with PepsiCo could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.
 
For further information about our relationship with PepsiCo and its affiliates see Note 15 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

2008 Items
 
Impairment Charges
During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company recorded a $412 million non-cash impairment charge relating primarily to distribution rights and brands for the Electropura water business in Mexico. For further information about the impairment charges, see section entitled “Other Intangible Assets, net and Goodwill,” in our Critical Accounting Policies.
 
2008 Restructuring Charges
In the fourth quarter of 2008, we announced a restructuring program to enhance the Company’s operating capabilities in each of our reportable segments. The program’s key objectives are to strengthen customer service and selling effectiveness; simplify decision making and streamline the organization; drive greater cost productivity to adapt to current macroeconomic challenges; and rationalize the Company’s supply chain infrastructure. We anticipate the program to be substantially complete by the end of 2009 and the program is expected to result in annual pre-tax savings of approximately $150 million to $160 million.
 
The Company expects to record pre-tax charges of $140 million to $170 million over the course of the restructuring program, which is primarily for severance and related benefits, pension and other employee-related costs and other charges, including employee relocation and asset disposal costs. As part of the restructuring program, approximately 3,150 positions will be eliminated including 750 positions in the U.S. & Canada, 200 positions in Europe and 2,200 positions in Mexico. The Company will also close four facilities in the U.S., as well as three plants and approximately 30 distribution centers in Mexico. The program will also include the elimination of approximately 700 routes in Mexico. In addition, the Company will modify its U.S. defined benefit pension plans, which will generate long-term savings and significantly reduce future financial obligations.
 
During 2008, the Company incurred pre-tax charges of $83 million, of which $53 million was recorded in the U.S. & Canada segment, $27 million was recorded in our Europe segment and the remaining $3 million was recorded in the Mexico segment. All of these charges were recorded in selling, delivery and administrative expenses. During 2008, we eliminated approximately 1,050 positions across all reportable segments and closed three facilities in the U.S. and two plants in Mexico and eliminated 126 routes in Mexico.
 
The Company expects about $130 million in pre-tax cash expenditures from these restructuring actions, of which $13 million was paid in the fourth quarter of 2008, with the balance expected to occur in 2009 and 2010.
 
For further information about our restructuring charges see Note 16 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
2007 Items
 
2007 Restructuring Charges
In the third quarter of 2007, we announced a restructuring program to realign the Company’s organization to adapt to changes in the marketplace, improve operating efficiencies and enhance the growth potential of the Company’s product portfolio. We substantially completed the organizational realignment during the first quarter of 2008, which resulted in the elimination of approximately 800 positions. Annual cost savings from this restructuring program are approximately $30 million. Over the course of the program we incurred a pre-tax charge of approximately $29 million. During 2007, we recorded pre-tax charges of $26 million, of which $18 million was recorded in the U.S. & Canada segment and the remaining $8 million was recorded in the Europe segment. During the first half of 2008, we recorded an additional $3 million of pre-tax charges primarily relating to relocation expenses in our U.S. & Canada segment. We made approximately $24 million of after-tax cash payments associated with these restructuring charges.
 
In the fourth quarter of 2007, we implemented and completed an additional phase of restructuring actions to improve operating efficiencies. In addition to the amounts discussed above, we recorded a pre-tax charge of approximately $4 million in selling, delivery and administrative expenses, primarily related to employee termination costs in Mexico, where an additional 800 positions were eliminated as a result of this phase of the restructuring. Annual cost savings from this restructuring program are approximately $7 million.
 
Asset Disposal Charges
In the fourth quarter of 2007, we adopted a Full Service Vending (“FSV”) Rationalization plan to rationalize our vending asset base in our U.S. & Canada segment by disposing of older underperforming assets and redeploying certain assets to higher return accounts. Our FSV business portfolio consists of accounts where we stock and service vending equipment. This plan, which we completed in the second quarter of 2008, was part of the Company’s broader initiative to improve operating income margins of our FSV business.
 
Over the course of the FSV Rationalization plan, we incurred a pre-tax asset disposal charge of approximately $25 million, the majority of which was non-cash. The charge included costs associated with the removal of these assets from service, disposal costs and redeployment expenses. Of this amount, we recorded a pre-tax charge of approximately $23 million in 2007 with the remainder being recorded in 2008. This charge is recorded in selling, delivery and administrative expenses.
 
PR Beverages
For further information about PR Beverages see “Relationship with PepsiCo.”
 
Tax Audit Settlement
During 2007, PBG recorded a net non-cash benefit of approximately $46 million to income tax expense related to the reversal of reserves for uncertain tax benefits resulting from the expiration of the statute of limitations on the IRS audit of our U.S. 2001 and 2002 tax returns.
 
Tax Law Changes
During 2007, tax law changes were enacted in Canada and Mexico, which required us to re-measure our deferred tax assets and liabilities. The impact of the reduction in tax rates in Canada was partially offset by the tax law changes in Mexico which decreased our income tax expense on a net basis.

PART II (continued)    
     

After the impact of noncontrolling interests, net income attributable to PBG increased approximately $10 million as a result of these tax law changes.
 
2006 Items
 
Tax Audit Settlement
During 2006, PBG recorded a tax gain from the reversal of approximately $55 million of tax contingency reserves. These reserves, which related to the IRS audit of PBG’s 1999-2000 income tax returns, resulted from the expiration of the statute of limitations for this IRS audit on December 30, 2006.
 
Tax Law Changes
During 2006, tax law changes were enacted in Canada, Turkey and in various state jurisdictions in the United States which decreased our income tax expense. After the impact of noncontrolling interests, net income attributable to PBG increased by approximately $10 million as a result of these tax law changes.

(1)  Percentage change for diluted earnings per share is calculated by using earnings per share data that is expanded to the fourth decimal place.
 
Volume – Decrease of four percent versus the prior year driven by declines in each of our segments due to the soft economic conditions globally which have negatively impacted the liquid refreshment beverage category.
 
Net revenues  – Increase of two percent versus the prior year is driven by strong increases in net price per case in each of our segments, partially offset by volume declines. Net price per case increased six percent due primarily to rate increases and includes one percentage point of growth from foreign currency.
 
Cost of sales – Increase of three percent versus the prior year due to rising raw material costs partially offset by volume declines. Cost of sales per case increased seven percent, which includes one percentage point from foreign currency. Increase in costs of sales per case was driven by plastic bottle components, sweetener and concentrate.
 
Gross profit – Growth was flat driven by rate increases offset by volume declines and higher raw material costs. Rate gains more than offset higher raw material costs driving a four percent increase in gross profit per case.
 
Selling, Delivery and Administrative (“SD&A”) expenses – Flat results versus the prior year include one percentage point of growth relating to restructuring and asset disposal charges taken in the current and prior year. The remaining one percentage point improvement in SD&A expenses was driven by lower operating costs due to decreases in volume and continued cost and productivity improvements across all our segments, partially offset by the negative impact from strengthening foreign currencies during the first half of the year.
 
Operating income – Decrease of 39 percent versus the prior year was driven primarily by the impairment, restructuring and asset disposal charges taken in the current and prior year, which together contributed 41 percentage points to the operating income decline for the year. The remaining two percentage points of growth in operating income were driven by increases in Europe and the U.S. & Canada. During 2008, we captured over $170 million of productivity gains reflecting an increased focus on cost containment across all of our businesses. Savings include productivity from manufacturing and logistics coupled with reduced headcount and decreased discretionary spending. Operating income growth includes one percentage point of growth from foreign currency translation.
 
Net income attributable to PBG – Net income attributable to PBG for the year of $162 million includes a net after-tax charge of $338 million, or $1.53 per diluted share, from impairment and asset disposal charges, and restructuring initiatives discussed above. In addition, net income attributable to PBG reflects higher interest and foreign currency transactional expenses versus the prior year. For 2007, net income attributable to PBG of $532 million included a net after-tax gain of $21 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, from tax items, restructuring charges and asset disposal charges.

U.S. & Canada
In our U.S. & Canada segment, volume decreased four percent due to declining consumer confidence and spending, which has negatively impacted the liquid refreshment beverage category. Cold-drink and take-home channels both declined by four percent versus last year. The decline in the take-home channel was driven primarily by our large format stores, which was impacted by the overall declines in the liquid refreshment beverage category as well as pricing actions taken to improve profitability in our take-home packages including our unflavored water business. Decline in the cold-drink channel was driven by our foodservice channel, including restaurants, travel and leisure and workplace, which has been particularly impacted by the economic downturn in the United States.
 
Europe
In our Europe segment, volume declined by three percent resulting from a soft volume performance in the second half of the year. Results reflect overall weak macroeconomic environments throughout Europe with high

single digit declines in Spain and flat volume growth in Russia. Despite the slowing growth in Russia, we showed improvements in our energy and tea categories, partially offset by declines in the CSD category. In Spain, there were declines across all channels due to a weakening economy and our continued focus on improving revenue and gross profit growth.
 
Mexico
In our Mexico segment, volume decreased five percent driven by slower economic growth coupled with pricing actions taken by the Company to drive improved margins across its portfolio. This drove single digit declines in our jug water and multi-serve packages, which was partially offset by one percent improvement in our bottled water package.

U.S. & Canada
In our U.S. & Canada segment, volume was unchanged, driven primarily by flat volume in the U.S. Our performance in the U.S. reflected growth in the take-home channel of approximately one percent, driven primarily by growth in supercenters, wholesale clubs and mass merchandisers. This growth was offset by a decline of three percent in the cold-drink channel, as a result of declines in our small format and foodservice channels. From a brand perspective, our U.S. non-carbonated portfolio increased six percent, reflecting significant increases in Trademark Lipton and water, coupled with strong growth in energy drinks. The growth in our U.S. non-carbonated portfolio was offset by declines in our CSD portfolio of three percent, driven primarily by declines in Trademark Pepsi.
 
In Canada, volume grew two percent, driven primarily by three percent growth in the cold-drink channel and two percent growth in the take-home channel. From a brand perspective, our non-carbonated portfolio increased 13 percent, reflecting a 12 percent increase in Trademark Lipton and a five percent increase in water.
 
Europe
In our Europe segment, overall volume grew four percent. This growth was driven primarily by 17 percent growth in Russia, partially offset by declines of eight percent in Spain and two percent in Turkey. Volume increases in Russia were strong in all channels, led by growth of 40 percent in our non-carbonated portfolio.
 
Mexico
In our Mexico segment, overall volume increased one percent, driven primarily by acquisitions, partially offset by a decrease of two percent in base business volume. This decrease was primarily attributable to four percent declines in both CSD and jug water volumes, mitigated by nine percent growth in bottled water and greater than 40 percent growth in non-carbonated beverages.

U.S. & Canada
In our U.S. & Canada segment, net revenues were flat versus the prior year driven by net price per case improvement offset by volume declines. The four percent improvement in net price per case was primarily driven by rate increases taken to offset rising raw material costs and to improve profitability in our take-home packages including our unflavored water business.
 
Europe
In our Europe segment, growth in net revenues for the year reflects an increase in net price per case and the positive impact of foreign currency translation, partially offset by volume declines. Net revenue per case grew in every country in Europe led by double-digit growth in Russia and Turkey due mainly to rate increases.
 
Mexico
In our Mexico segment, net revenues were flat versus the prior year reflecting increases in net price per case offset by declines in volume and the negative impact of foreign currency translation. Growth in net price per case was primarily due to rate increases taken within our multi-serve CSDs, jugs and bottled water packages.

In our Europe segment, 22 percent growth in net revenues reflected exceptionally strong increases in net price per case, strong volume growth in Russia and the positive impact of foreign currency translation. Growth in net revenues in Europe was mainly driven by a 44 percent increase in Russia.
 
Mexico
In our Mexico segment, eight percent growth in net revenues reflected strong increases in net price per case, and the impact of acquisitions, partially offset by declines in base business volume.

U.S. & Canada
In our U.S. & Canada segment, operating income was $886 million in 2008, decreasing one percent versus the prior year. Restructuring and asset disposal charges taken in the current and prior year together contributed a decrease of two percentage points to the operating income decline. The remaining one percentage point of growth includes increases in gross profit per case and lower operating costs, partially offset by lower volume in the United States.
 
Gross profit per case improved two percent versus the prior year in our U.S. & Canada segment. This includes growth in net revenue per case, which was offset by a six percent increase in cost of sales per case. Growth in cost of sales per case includes higher concentrate, sweetener and packaging costs.
 
SD&A expenses improved three percent versus the prior year in our U.S. & Canada segment due to lower volume and pension costs and cost productivity initiatives. These productivity initiatives reflect a combination of headcount savings, reduced discretionary spending and leveraged manufacturing and logistics benefits. Results also include one percentage point of growth due to restructuring and asset disposal charges taken in the current and prior year.
 
Europe
In our Europe segment, operating income was $101 million in 2008, decreasing five percent versus the prior year. The net impact of restructuring and impairment charges contributed 20 percentage points to the decline for the year. The remaining 14 percentage point increase in operating income growth for the year reflects improvements in gross profit per case and the positive impact from foreign currency translation, partially offset by higher SD&A expenses.
 
Gross profit per case in Europe increased 16 percent versus the prior year due to net price per case increases and foreign currency translation, partially offset by higher sweetener and packaging costs. Foreign currency contributed six percentage points of growth to gross profit for the year.
 
SD&A expenses in Europe increased 16 percent due to additional operating costs associated with our investments in Europe coupled with charges in Russia due to softening volume and weakening economic conditions in the fourth quarter. Foreign currency contributed five percentage points to SD&A growth. Restructuring charges taken in the current and prior year contributed approximately two percentage points of growth to SD&A expenses for the year.
 
Mexico
In our Mexico segment, we had an operating loss of $338 million in 2008 driven primarily by impairment and restructuring charges taken in the current and prior years. The remaining one percent decrease in operating income growth for the year was driven by volume declines, partially offset by increases in gross profit per case and the positive impact from foreign currency translation.
 
Gross profit per case improved six percent versus the prior year driven by improvements in net revenue per case, as we continue to improve our segment profitability in our jug water and multi-serve packages. Cost of sales per case in Mexico increased by five percent due primarily to rising packaging costs.
 
SD&A remained flat versus the prior year driven by lower volume and reduced operating costs as we focus on route productivity, partially offset by cost inflation.

Table of Contents

remaining seven percentage point improvement in operating income growth was the result of increases in gross profit, coupled with cost productivity improvements. These improvements were partially offset by higher SD&A expenses.
 
Gross profit for our U.S. & Canada segment increased three percent driven by net price per case improvement, which was partially offset by a five percent increase in cost of sales. Increases in cost of sales are primarily due to growth in cost of sales per case resulting from higher concentrate and sweetener costs and a one percentage point negative impact from foreign currency translation.
 
SD&A in the U.S. & Canada segment increased four percent driven primarily by strategic initiatives in connection with the hydration category, partially offset by cost productivity improvements.
 
Europe
In our Europe segment, operating income increased 86 percent versus the prior year. Operating income growth includes 35 percentage points of growth from the consolidation of PR Beverages and restructuring charges taken during the year. The remaining 52 percentage points of growth reflect strong increases in volume, gross profit per case, cost productivity improvements and an 11 percentage point positive impact of foreign currency translation. This growth was partially offset by higher operating expenses in Russia.
 
Gross profit per case in Europe grew 26 percent versus the prior year. This growth was driven by improvements in net revenue per case partially offset by a 16 percent increase in cost of sales. Increases in cost of sales reflected a nine percentage point impact from foreign currency translation, cost per case increases resulting from higher raw material costs, shifts in package mix and strong volume growth. These increases were partially offset by a three percentage point impact from consolidating PR Beverages in our financial results.
 
SD&A costs in Europe increased 25 percent versus the prior year, which includes a nine percentage point negative impact from foreign currency translation. The remaining increase in SD&A costs is due to higher operating expenses in Russia due to its growth during the year.
 
Mexico
In our Mexico segment, operating income decreased 13 percent as a result of declines in base business volume and higher SD&A expenses. Restructuring charges and the impact of acquisitions together contributed a two percentage point impact to the operating income decline for the year.
 
Gross profit per case in Mexico grew five percent versus the prior year due primarily to increases in net revenue per case partially offset by a nine percent increase in cost of sales. Increase in cost of sales reflects cost per case increases resulting from significantly higher sweetener costs and the impact of acquisitions, partially offset by base volume declines.
 
SD&A expenses in Mexico grew eight percent versus the prior year, which includes three percentage points of growth from acquisitions. The remaining growth is driven by higher operating expenses versus the prior year.
 
Interest Expense, net
 
2008 vs. 2007
 
Net interest expense increased by $16 million largely due to higher average debt balances throughout the year and our treasury rate locks that were settled in the fourth quarter. These increases were partially offset by lower effective interest rates from interest rate swaps which convert our fixed-rate debt to variable-rate debt.
 
2007 vs. 2006
 
Net interest expense increased by $8 million largely due to higher effective interest rates and additional interest associated with higher average debt balances throughout the year.
 
Other Non-Operating Expenses (Income), net
 
2008 vs. 2007
 
Other net non-operating expenses were $25 million in 2008 as compared to $6 million of net non-operating income in 2007. Foreign currency transactional losses in 2008 resulted primarily from our U.S. dollar and euro purchases in Mexico and Russia, reflecting the impact of the weakening peso and ruble during the second half of 2008.
 
2007 vs. 2006
 
Other net non-operating income was $6 million in 2007 as compared to $11 million of net non-operating expenses in 2006. Income in 2007 was primarily a result of foreign exchange gains due to the strength of the Canadian dollar, Turkish lira, Russian ruble and euro. The expense position in 2006 was primarily a result of foreign exchange losses associated with the devaluation of the Turkish lira.
 
Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
 
2008 vs. 2007
 
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests primarily reflects PepsiCo’s ownership in Bottling LLC of 6.6 percent, coupled with their 40 percent ownership in the PR Beverages venture. The $34 million decrease versus the prior year was primarily driven by lower operating results due to the impairment and restructuring charges taken in the fourth quarter of 2008.
 
2007 vs. 2006
 
The $35 million increase in 2007 was primarily driven by PepsiCo’s noncontrolling interests in the PR Beverages venture. The remaining increase was a result of higher operating results in Bottling LLC.

PART II (continued)    
     

 
Income Tax Expense
 
2008 vs. 2007
 
Our effective tax rates for 2008 and 2007 were 33.4 percent and 22.1 percent, respectively. The increase in our effective tax rate is primarily due to year-over-year comparability associated with the following:
 
  In 2008, we had pre-tax impairment charges related primarily to Mexico which resulted in a tax provision benefit of $115 million as well as pre-tax restructuring charges, which provided a tax provision benefit of $21 million. The net effect of these items increased our effective tax rate by 3.8 percentage points as most of these charges were in our international jurisdictions, which have lower effective tax rates.
 
  In 2007, we had a tax audit settlement which reduced our tax provision by $46 million, coupled with tax law changes that reduced our deferred income tax provision by $13 million. These items decreased our effective tax rate by 7.3 percentage points.
 
2007 vs. 2006
 
Our effective tax rates for 2007 and 2006 were 22.1 percent and 21.5 percent, respectively. The increase in our effective tax rate is primarily due to year-over-year comparability associated with the reversal of tax contingency reserves resulting from the expiration of the statute of limitations on the IRS audits in 2007 versus 2006. The tax law changes enacted in 2007 and 2006 that required us to re-measure our deferred taxes had approximately the same impact in both years.
 
Diluted Weighted-Average Shares Outstanding
 
Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding includes the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the potential dilution that could occur if equity awards from our stock compensation plans were exercised and converted into common stock.
 
Our diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for 2008, 2007 and 2006 were 220 million, 233 million and 242 million, respectively. The decrease in shares outstanding for 2008 reflects the effect of our share repurchase program, which began in October 1999, partially offset by share issuances from the exercise of equity awards. The amount of shares authorized by the Board of Directors to be repurchased totals 175 million shares, of which we have repurchased approximately 15 million shares in 2008 and 146 million shares since the inception of our share repurchase program. For further discussion on our earnings per share calculation see Note 3 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
Cash Flows
 
2008 vs. 2007
 
PBG generated $1,284 million of net cash from operations, a decrease of $153 million from 2007. The decrease in net cash provided by operations was driven primarily by a change in working capital due largely to timing of accounts payable disbursements and higher payments relating to promotional activities and pensions.
 
Net cash used for investments was $1,758 million, an increase of $875 million from 2007. The increase in cash used for investments primarily reflects $742 million of payments associated with our investment in JSC Lebedyansky and payments for acquisitions of Lane Affiliated Companies, Inc., Sobol-Aqua JSC and Pepsi-Cola Batavia Bottling Corp., partially offset by lower capital expenditures.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities was $850 million, an increase of $1,414 million as compared to a use of cash of $564 million in 2007. This increase in cash from financing reflects proceeds from the issuance of $1.3 billion in senior notes to partially pre-fund the February 2009 bond maturity of $1.3 billion. Also reflected in financing activities was $308 million of cash received from PepsiCo for their proportional share in the acquisition of JSC Lebedyansky and Sobol-Aqua JSC by PR Beverages.
 
2007 vs. 2006
 
Net cash provided by operations increased by $209 million to $1,437 million in 2007. Increases in net cash provided by operations were driven by higher cash profits and favorable working capital.
 
Net cash used for investments increased by $152 million to $883 million, driven by higher capital spending due to strategic investments in the U.S. and Russia, including the building of new plants in Las Vegas and Moscow and additional dedicated water lines in the U.S.
 
Net cash used for financing increased by $193 million to $564 million, driven primarily by lower net proceeds from long-term debt, partially offset by lower share repurchases in 2007.
 
Capital Expenditures
 
Our business requires substantial infrastructure investments to maintain our existing level of operations and to fund investments targeted at growing our business. Capital expenditures included in our cash flows from investing activities totaled $760 million, $854 million and $725 million during 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Capital expenditures decreased $94 million in 2008 as a result of lower investments due to the economic slowdown, primarily in the United States.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our principal sources of cash include cash from our operating activities and the issuance of debt and bank borrowings. We believe that these cash inflows will be sufficient for the foreseeable future to fund capital expenditures, benefit plan contributions, acquisitions, share repurchases, dividends and working capital requirements.
 
The recent and extraordinary disruption in the world credit markets in 2008 had a significant adverse impact on a number of financial institutions. At this point in time, the Company’s liquidity has not been materially impacted by the current credit environment and management does not expect that it will be materially impacted in the near-future. Management will continue to closely monitor the Company’s liquidity and the credit markets. However, management cannot predict with any certainty the impact to the Company of any further disruption in the credit environment.

Acquisitions and Investments
We completed a joint acquisition with PepsiCo of Russia’s leading branded juice company JSC Lebedyansky (“Lebedyansky”) for approximately $1.8 billion. Lebedyansky was acquired 58.3 percent by PepsiCo and 41.7 percent by PR Beverages, our Russian venture with PepsiCo. We have recorded an equity investment for PR Beverages’ share in Lebedyansky. In addition, we have recorded a noncontrolling interest contribution for PepsiCo’s proportional contribution to PR Beverages relating to Lebedyansky.
 
During 2008, we acquired Pepsi-Cola Batavia Bottling Corp and Lane Affiliated Companies, Inc. (“Lane”), Pepsi-Cola franchise bottlers which serve certain New York counties and portions of Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico. In addition we acquired Sobol-Aqua JSC (“Sobol”), a company that manufactures Sobol brands and co-packs various Pepsi products in Siberia and Eastern Russia. The total cost of acquisitions during 2008 was approximately $279 million.
 
Long-Term Debt Activities
During the fourth quarter, we issued $1.3 billion in senior notes with a coupon rate of 6.95 percent, maturing in 2014. A portion of this debt was used to repay our senior notes due in 2009 at their maturity on February 17, 2009. In the interim, these proceeds were placed in short-term investments. In addition, we used a portion of the proceeds to finance the Lane acquisition and repay short-term commercial paper debt, a portion of which was used to finance our acquisition of Lebedyansky.
 
In addition, during the first quarter of 2009 we issued an additional $750 million in senior notes, with a coupon rate of 5.125 percent, maturing in 2019. The net proceeds of the offering, together with a portion of the proceeds from the offering of our senior notes issued in the fourth quarter of 2008, were used to repay our senior notes due in 2009, at their scheduled maturity on February 17, 2009. Any excess proceeds of this offering will be used for general corporate purposes. The next significant scheduled debt maturity is not until 2012.
 
Short-Term Debt Activities
We have a committed revolving credit facility of $1.1 billion and an uncommitted credit facility of $500 million. Both of these credit facilities are guaranteed by Bottling LLC and are used to support our $1.2 billion commercial paper program and working capital requirements. At December 27, 2008, we had no outstanding commercial paper. At December 29, 2007, we had $50 million in outstanding commercial paper with a weighted-average interest rate of 5.3 percent.
 
In addition to the revolving credit facilities discussed above, we had available bank credit lines of approximately $772 million at December 27, 2008, of which the majority was uncommitted. These lines were primarily used to support the general operating needs of our international locations. As of year-end 2008, we had $103 million outstanding under these lines of credit at a weighted-average interest rate of 10.0 percent. As of year-end 2007, we had available short-term bank credit lines of approximately $748 million, of which $190 million was outstanding at a weighted-average interest rate of 5.3 percent.
 
Our peak borrowing timeframe varies with our working capital requirements and the seasonality of our business. Additionally, throughout the year, we may have further short-term borrowing requirements driven by other operational needs of our business. During 2008, borrowings from our commercial paper program in the U.S. peaked at $702 million. Borrowings from our line of credit facilities peaked at $484 million, reflecting payments for working capital requirements.
 
Debt Covenants and Credit Ratings
Certain of our senior notes have redemption features and non-financial covenants that will, among other things, limit our ability to create or assume liens, enter into sale and lease-back transactions, engage in mergers or consolidations and transfer or lease all or substantially all of our assets. Additionally, certain of our credit facilities and senior notes have financial covenants. These requirements are not, and it is not anticipated they will become, restrictive to our liquidity or capital resources. We are in compliance with all debt covenants. For a discussion of our covenants, see Note 9 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
Our credit ratings are periodically reviewed by rating agencies. Currently our long-term ratings from Moody’s and Standard and Poor’s are A2 and A, respectively. Changes in our operating results or financial position could impact the ratings assigned by the various agencies resulting in higher or lower borrowing costs.
 
Pensions
During 2009, we expect to contribute $185 million to fund our U.S. pension and postretirement plans. For further information about our pension and postretirement plan funding see section entitled “Pension and Postretirement Medical Benefit Plans” in our Critical Accounting Policies.
 
Dividends
On March 27, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an increase in the Company’s quarterly dividend from $0.14 to $0.17 per share on the outstanding common stock of the Company. This action resulted in a 21 percent increase in our quarterly dividend.

(1)  See Note 9 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information relating to our long-term debt obligations.
(2)  Lease obligation balances include imputed interest. See Note 10 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information relating to our lease obligations.
(3)  Represents interest payment obligations related to our long-term fixed-rate debt as specified in the applicable debt agreements. A portion of our long-term debt has variable interest rates due to either existing swap agreements or interest arrangements. We have estimated our variable interest payment obligations by using the interest rate forward curve where practical. Given uncertainties in future interest rates we have not included the beneficial impact of interest rate swaps after the year 2010.
(4)  Represents obligations to purchase raw materials pursuant to contracts entered into by PepsiCo on our behalf and international agreements to purchase raw materials.
(5)  Represents commitments to suppliers under capital expenditure related contracts or purchase orders.
(6)  Represents legally binding agreements to purchase goods or services that specify all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities, price arrangements and timing of payments. If applicable, penalty, notice, or minimum purchase amount is used in the calculation. Balances also include non-cancelable customer contracts for sports marketing arrangements.
(7)  Primarily represents non-compete contracts that resulted from business acquisitions. The non-current portion of unrecognized tax benefits recorded on the balance sheet as of December 27, 2008 is not included in the table. There was no current portion of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 27, 2008. For additional information about our income taxes see Note 13 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
This table excludes our pension and postretirement liabilities recorded on the balance sheet. For a discussion of our future pension contributions, as well as expected pension and postretirement benefit payments see Note 12 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
There are no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
 
MARKET RISKS AND CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
 
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
about Market Risk
 
In the normal course of business, our financial position is routinely subject to a variety of risks. These risks include changes in the price of commodities purchased and used in our business, interest rates on outstanding debt and currency movements impacting our non-U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities. We are also subject to the risks associated with the business environment in which we operate. We regularly assess all of these risks and have strategies in place to reduce the adverse effects of these exposures.
 
Our objective in managing our exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates is to minimize the volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with changes in the applicable rates and prices. To achieve this objective, we have derivative instruments to hedge against the risk of adverse movements in commodity prices, interest rates and foreign currency. We monitor our counterparty credit risk on an ongoing basis. Our corporate policy prohibits the use of derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes, and we have procedures in place to monitor and control their use. See Note 11 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information relating to our derivative instruments.
 
A sensitivity analysis has been prepared to determine the effects that market risk exposures may have on our financial instruments. These sensitivity analyses evaluate the effect of hypothetical changes in commodity prices, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates and changes in our stock price on our unfunded deferred compensation liability. Information provided by these sensitivity analyses does not necessarily represent the actual changes in fair value that we would incur under normal market conditions because, due to practical limitations, all variables other than the specific market risk factor were held constant. As a result, the reported changes in the values of some financial instruments that are affected by the sensitivity analyses are not matched with the offsetting changes in the values of the items that those instruments are designed to finance or hedge.
 
Commodity Price Risk
We are subject to market risks with respect to commodities because our ability to recover increased costs through higher pricing may be limited by the competitive business environment in which we operate. We use future and option contracts to hedge the risk of adverse movements in commodity prices related primarily to anticipated purchases of raw materials and energy

15


Table of Contents

used in our operations. With respect to commodity price risk, we currently have various contracts outstanding for commodity purchases in 2009 and 2010, which establish our purchase prices within defined ranges. We estimate that a 10 percent decrease in commodity prices with all other variables held constant would have resulted in a change in the fair value of our financial instruments of $14 million and $7 million at December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, respectively.
 
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is inherent to both fixed- and floating-rate debt. We effectively converted $1.1 billion of our senior notes to floating-rate debt through the use of interest rate swaps. Changes in interest rates on our interest rate swaps and other variable debt would change our interest expense. We estimate that a 50 basis point increase in interest rates on our variable rate debt and cash equivalents, with all other variables held constant, would have resulted in an increase to net interest expense of $1 million and $2 million in fiscal years 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
In 2008, approximately 34 percent of our net revenues were generated from outside the United States. Social, economic and political conditions in these international markets may adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. The overall risks to our international businesses include changes in foreign governmental policies and other social, political or economic developments. These developments may lead to new product pricing, tax or other policies and monetary fluctuations that may adversely impact our business. In addition, our results of operations and the value of our foreign assets and liabilities are affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
 
As currency exchange rates change, translation of the statements of operations of our businesses outside the U.S. into U.S. dollars affects year-over-year comparability. We generally have not hedged against these types of currency risks because cash flows from our international operations have been reinvested locally. We have foreign currency transactional risks in certain of our international territories for transactions that are denominated in currencies that are different from their functional currency. We have entered into forward exchange contracts to hedge portions of our forecasted U.S. dollar cash flows in these international territories. A 10 percent weaker U.S. dollar against the applicable foreign currency, with all other variables held constant, would result in a change in the fair value of these contracts of $5 million and $6 million at December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, respectively.
 
In 2007, we entered into forward exchange contracts to economically hedge a portion of intercompany receivable balances that are denominated in Mexican pesos. A 10 percent weaker U.S. dollar versus the Mexican peso, with all other variables held constant, would result in a change of $4 million and $9 million in the fair value of these contracts at December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, respectively.
 
Unfunded Deferred Compensation Liability
Our unfunded deferred compensation liability is subject to changes in our stock price, as well as price changes in certain other equity and fixed-income investments. Employee investment elections include PBG stock and a variety of other equity and fixed-income investment options. Since the plan is unfunded, employees’ deferred compensation amounts are not directly invested in these investment vehicles. Instead, we track the performance of each employee’s investment selections and adjust the employee’s deferred compensation account accordingly. The adjustments to the employees’ accounts increases or decreases the deferred compensation liability reflected on our Consolidated Balance Sheet with an offsetting increase or decrease to our selling, delivery and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. We use prepaid forward contracts to hedge the portion of our deferred compensation liability that is based on our stock price. Therefore, changes in compensation expense as a result of changes in our stock price are substantially offset by the changes in the fair value of these contracts. We estimate that a 10 percent unfavorable change in the year-end stock price would have reduced the fair value from these forward contract commitments by $1 million and $2 million at December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Tabular dollars in millions, except per share data
 
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
 
The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc. is the world’s largest manufacturer, seller and distributor of Pepsi-Cola beverages. We have the exclusive right to manufacture, sell and distribute Pepsi-Cola beverages in all or a portion of the U.S., Mexico, Canada, Spain, Russia, Greece and Turkey. When used in these Consolidated Financial Statements, “PBG,” “we,” “our,” “us” and the “Company” each refers to The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc. and, where appropriate, to Bottling Group, LLC (“Bottling LLC”), our principal operating subsidiary.
 
At December 27, 2008, PepsiCo, Inc. (“PepsiCo”) owned 70,166,458 shares of our common stock, consisting of 70,066,458 shares of common stock and all 100,000 authorized shares of Class B common stock. This represents approximately 33.2 percent of our outstanding common stock and 100 percent of our outstanding Class B common stock, together representing 40.2 percent of the voting power of all classes of our voting stock. In addition, PepsiCo owns approximately 6.6 percent of the equity of Bottling LLC and 40 percent of PR Beverages Limited (“PR Beverages”), a consolidated venture for our Russian operations, which was formed on March 1, 2007.
 
The common stock and Class B common stock both have a par value of $0.01 per share and are substantially identical, except for voting rights. Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share and holders of our Class B common stock are entitled to 250 votes per share. Each share of Class B common stock is convertible into one share of common stock. Holders of our common stock and holders of our Class B common stock share equally on a per-share basis in any dividend distributions.
 
Our Board of Directors has the authority to provide for the issuance of up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, and to determine the price and terms, including, but not limited to, preferences and voting rights of those shares without stockholder approval. At December 27, 2008, there was no preferred stock outstanding.
 
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) often requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect a number of amounts included in our financial statements and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates on an on-going 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 may differ from these estimates.
 
Basis of Consolidation – We consolidate in our financial statements entities in which we have a controlling financial interest, as well as variable interest entities where we are the primary beneficiary. Noncontrolling interests in earnings and ownership has been recorded for the percentage of these entities not owned by PBG. We have eliminated all intercompany accounts and transactions in consolidation.
 
Fiscal Year – Our U.S. and Canadian operations report using a fiscal year that consists of 52 weeks, ending on the last Saturday in December. Every five or six years a 53rd week is added. Fiscal years 2008, 2007 and 2006 consisted of 52 weeks. Our remaining countries report on a calendar-year basis. Accordingly, we recognize our quarterly business results as outlined below:
 
         
Quarter   U.S. & Canada   Mexico & Europe
First Quarter
  12 weeks   January and February
Second Quarter
  12 weeks   March, April and May
Third Quarter
  12 weeks   June, July and August
Fourth Quarter
  16 weeks   September, October,

Revenue Recognition – Revenue, net of sales returns, is recognized when our products are delivered to customers in accordance with the written sales terms. We offer certain sales incentives on a local and national level through various customer trade agreements designed to enhance the growth of our revenue. Customer trade agreements are accounted for as a reduction to our revenues.
 
Customer trade agreements with our customers include payments for in-store displays, volume rebates, featured advertising and other growth incentives. A number of our customer trade agreements are based on quarterly and annual targets that generally do not exceed one year. Amounts recognized in our financial statements are based on amounts estimated to be paid to our customers depending upon current performance, historical experience, forecasted volume and other performance criteria.
 
Advertising and Marketing Costs – We are involved in a variety of programs to promote our products. We include advertising and marketing costs in selling, delivery and administrative expenses. Advertising and marketing costs were $437 million, $424 million and $403 million in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, before bottler incentives received from PepsiCo and other brand owners.
 
Bottler Incentives – PepsiCo and other brand owners, at their discretion, provide us with various forms of bottler incentives. These incentives cover a variety of initiatives, including direct marketplace support and advertising support. We classify bottler incentives as follows:
 
  Direct marketplace support represents PepsiCo’s and other brand owners’ agreed-upon funding to assist us in offering sales and promotional discounts to retailers and is generally recorded as an adjustment to cost of sales. If the direct marketplace support is a reimbursement for a specific, incremental and identifiable program, the funding is recorded as an offset to the cost of the program either in net revenues or selling, delivery and administrative expenses.
 
  Advertising support represents agreed-upon funding to assist us with the cost of media time and promotional materials and is generally recorded as an adjustment to cost of sales. Advertising support that represents reimbursement for a specific, incremental and identifiable media cost, is recorded as a reduction to advertising and marketing expenses within selling, delivery and administrative expenses.

Share-Based Compensation – The Company grants a combination of stock option awards and restricted stock units to our middle and senior management and our Board of Directors. See Note 4 for further discussion on our share-based compensation.
 
Shipping and Handling Costs – Our shipping and handling costs reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations are recorded primarily within selling, delivery and administrative expenses. Such costs recorded within selling, delivery and administrative expenses totaled $1.7 billion in 2008, 2007 and 2006.
 
Foreign Currency Gains and Losses and Currency Translation – We translate the balance sheets of our foreign subsidiaries at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, while we translate the statements of operations at the average rates of exchange during the year. The resulting translation adjustments of our foreign subsidiaries are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of noncontrolling interests on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Transactional gains and losses arising from the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations on transactions in foreign currency that is different from the local functional currency are included in other non-operating expenses (income), net in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
 
Pension and Postretirement Medical Benefit Plans – We sponsor pension and other postretirement medical benefit plans in various forms in the U.S. and other similar plans in our international locations, covering employees who meet specified eligibility requirements.
 
On December 30, 2006, we adopted the funded status provision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans” (“SFAS 158”), which requires that we recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of each of the pension and other postretirement plans. In addition, on December 30, 2007, we adopted the measurement date provisions of SFAS 158, which requires that our assumptions used to measure our annual pension and postretirement medical expenses be determined as of the year-end balance sheet date and all plan assets and liabilities be reported as of that date. For fiscal years ended 2007 and prior, the majority of the pension and other postretirement plans used a September 30 measurement date and all plan assets and obligations were generally reported as of that date. As part of measuring the plan assets and benefit obligations on December 30, 2007, we adjusted our opening balances of retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive loss for the change in net periodic benefit cost and fair value, respectively, from the previously used September 30 measurement date. The adoption of the measurement date provisions resulted in a net decrease in the pension and other postretirement medical benefit plans liability of $9 million, a net decrease in retained earnings of $16 million, net of noncontrolling interests of $2 million and taxes of $9 million and a net decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $19 million, net of noncontrolling interests of $2 million and taxes of $14 million. There was no impact on our results of operations.
 
The determination of pension and postretirement 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 benefit obligations. Significant assumptions include discount rate; expected rate of return on plan assets; certain employee-related factors such as retirement age, mortality, and turnover; rate of salary increases for plans where benefits are based on earnings; and for retiree medical plans, health care cost trend rates. We evaluate these assumptions on an annual basis at each measurement date based upon historical experience of the plans and management’s best judgment regarding future expectations.
 
Differences between the assumed rate of return and actual return of plan assets are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss in equity and amortized to earnings utilizing the market-related value method. Under this method, differences between the assumed rate of return and actual rate of return from any one year will be recognized over a five year period in the market related value.
 
Other gains and losses resulting from changes in actuarial assumptions and from differences between assumed and actual experience are determined at each measurement date and deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss in equity. To the extent the amount of all unrecognized gains and losses exceeds 10 percent of the larger of the benefit obligation or plan assets, such amount is amortized to earnings over the average remaining service period of active participants.
 
The cost or benefit from benefit plan changes is also deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss in equity and amortized to earnings on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of the employees expected to receive benefits.
 
See Note 12 for further discussion on our pension and postretirement medical benefit plans.
 
Income Taxes – Our effective tax rate is based on pre-tax income, statutory tax rates, tax laws and regulations and tax planning strategies available to us in the various jurisdictions in which we operate.
 
Our deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect our best estimate of the tax benefits and costs we expect to realize in the future. We establish valuation allowances to reduce our deferred tax assets to an amount that will more likely than not be realized.
 
As required under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), which we adopted as of the beginning of fiscal year 2007, we recognize the impact of our tax positions in our financial statements if those positions will more likely than not be sustained on audit, based on the technical merit of the position.

Significant management judgment is required in evaluating our tax positions and in determining our effective tax rate.
 
See Note 13 for further discussion on our income taxes.
 
Earnings Per Share – We compute basic earnings per share by dividing net income attributable to PBG by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if stock options or other equity awards from stock compensation plans were exercised and converted into common stock that would then participate in net income.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with original maturities not exceeding three months at the time of purchase. The fair value of our cash and cash equivalents approximate the amounts shown on our Consolidated Balance Sheets due to their short-term nature.
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts – A portion of our accounts receivable will not be collected due to non-payment, bankruptcies and sales returns. Our accounting policy for the provision for doubtful accounts requires reserving an amount based on the evaluation of the aging of accounts receivable, sales return trend analysis, detailed analysis of high-risk customers’ accounts, and the overall market and economic conditions of our customers.
 
Inventories – We value our inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of our inventory is generally computed on the first-in, first-out method.
 
Property, Plant and Equipment – We record property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) at cost, except for PP&E that has been impaired, for which we write down the carrying amount to estimated fair market value, which then becomes the new cost basis.
 
Other Intangible Assets, net and Goodwill – Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized; however, they are evaluated for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if facts and circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired.
 
Intangible assets that are determined to have a finite life are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period in which we expect to receive economic benefit, which generally ranges from five to twenty years, and are evaluated for impairment only if facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable.
 
The determination of the expected life depends upon the use and the underlying characteristics of the intangible asset. In our evaluation of the expected life of these intangible assets, we consider the nature and terms of the underlying agreements; our intent and ability to use the specific asset; the age and market position of the products within the territories in which we are entitled to sell; the historical and projected growth of those products; and costs, if any, to renew the related agreement.
 
If the carrying value is not recoverable, impairment is measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Initial fair value is generally based on either appraised value or other valuation techniques.
 
See Note 6 for further discussion on our goodwill and other intangible assets.
 
Casualty Insurance Costs – In the United States, we use a combination of insurance and self-insurance mechanisms, including a wholly owned captive insurance entity. This captive entity participates in a reinsurance pool for a portion of our workers’ compensation risk. We provide self-insurance for the workers’ compensation risk retained by the Company and automobile risks up to $10 million per occurrence, and product and general liability risks up to $5 million per occurrence. For losses exceeding these self-insurance thresholds, we purchase casualty insurance from a third-party provider. Our liability for casualty costs is estimated using individual case-based valuations and statistical analyses and is based upon historical experience, actuarial assumptions and professional judgment. We do not discount our loss expense reserves.
 
Noncontrolling Interests – Noncontrolling interests are recorded for the entities that we consolidate but are not wholly owned by PBG. Noncontrolling interests recorded in our Consolidated Financial Statements is primarily comprised of PepsiCo’s share of Bottling LLC and PR Beverages. At December 27, 2008, PepsiCo owned 6.6 percent of Bottling LLC and 40 percent of PR Beverages venture.
 
Treasury Stock – We record the repurchase of shares of our common stock at cost and classify these shares as treasury stock within PBG shareholders’ equity. Repurchased shares are included in our authorized and issued shares but not included in our shares outstanding. We record shares reissued using an average cost. At December 27, 2008, we had 175 million shares authorized under our share repurchase program. Since the inception of our share repurchase program in October 1999, we have repurchased approximately 146 million shares and have reissued approximately 47 million for stock option exercises.
 
Financial Instruments and Risk Management – We use derivative instruments to hedge against the risk of adverse movements associated with commodity prices, interest rates and foreign currency. Our corporate policy prohibits the use of derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes, and we have procedures in place to monitor and control their use.
 
All derivative instruments are recorded at fair value as either assets or liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Derivative instruments are generally designated and accounted for as either a hedge of a recognized asset or liability (“fair value hedge”) or a hedge of a forecasted transaction (“cash flow hedge”). The derivative’s gain or loss recognized in earnings is recorded consistent with the expense classification of the underlying hedged item.
 
If a fair value or cash flow hedge were to cease to qualify for hedge accounting or were terminated, it would continue to be carried on the balance sheet at fair value until settled, but hedge accounting would be discontinued prospectively. If the underlying hedged transaction ceases to exist, any associated amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss are reclassified to earnings at that time.
 
We also may enter into a derivative instrument for which hedge accounting is not required because it is entered into to offset changes in the fair value of an underlying transaction recognized in earnings (“economic hedge”). These instruments are reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.

Commitments and Contingencies – We are subject to various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, environmental and other matters arising out of the normal course of business. Liabilities related to commitments and contingencies are recognized when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable.
 
New Accounting Standards
 
SFAS No. 157
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), which establishes a framework for reporting fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company adopted SFAS 157 as it applies to financial assets and liabilities in our first quarter of 2008. The adoption of these provisions did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. For further information about the fair value measurements of our financial assets and liabilities, see Note 8.
 
In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP 157-2”). FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for certain items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). FSP 157-2 will become effective beginning with our first quarter of 2009 and will not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
SFAS No. 141(R)
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”), which addresses the recognition and accounting for identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests in business combinations. Certain costs, which were previously capitalized as a component of goodwill, such as acquisition closing costs, post acquisition restructuring charges and changes to tax liabilities and valuation allowances after the measurement period, will now be expensed. SFAS 141(R) also establishes expanded disclosure requirements for business combinations. SFAS 141(R) will become effective for new transactions closing in our 2009 fiscal year.
 
SFAS No. 160
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”), which addresses the accounting and reporting framework for noncontrolling interests by a parent company. SFAS 160 also addresses disclosure requirements to distinguish between interests of the parent and interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 became effective in the first quarter of 2009. The provisions of SFAS 160 require that minority interest be renamed noncontrolling interests and that a company present a consolidated net income measure that includes the amount attributable to such noncontrolling interests for all periods presented. In addition, SFAS 160 requires reporting noncontrolling interests as a component of equity in our Consolidated Balance Sheets and below income tax expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. As required by SFAS 160, we have retrospectively applied the presentation to our prior year balances in our Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
SFAS No. 161
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS 161”), which requires enhanced disclosures for derivative and hedging activities. SFAS 161 will become effective beginning with our first quarter of 2009.
 
EITF Issue No. 07-1
In December 2007, the FASB ratified its Emerging Issues Task Force’s (“EITF”) Consensus for Issue No. 07-1, “Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements” (“EITF 07-1”), which defines collaborative arrangements and establishes reporting requirements for transactions between participants in a collaborative arrangement and between participants in the arrangement and third parties. EITF 07-1 will become effective beginning with our first quarter of 2009. We do not believe this standard will have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
Note 3 – Earnings per Share
 
The following table reconciles the shares outstanding and net income attributable to PBG used in the computations of both basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to PBG’s common shareholders:
 
                         
    Fiscal Year Ended  
Shares in millions   2008     2007     2006  
Net income attributable to PBG
  $ 162     $ 532     $ 522  
Weighted-average shares outstanding during period on which basic earnings per share is calculated
    216       226       236

Incremental shares under stock compensation plans
    4       7       6  
                         
Weighted-average shares outstanding during period on which diluted earnings per share is calculated
    220       233       242  
                         
Earnings per share attributable to PBG’s common shareholders
                       
Basic earnings per share
  $ 0.75     $ 2.35     $ 2.22  
                         
Diluted earnings per share
  $ 0.74     $ 2.29     $ 2.16  
                         
 
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net income attributable to PBG by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options or other equity awards from our stock compensation plans were exercised and converted into common stock that would then participate in net income.
 
Diluted earnings per share for the fiscal years ended 2008 and 2006 exclude the dilutive effect of 11.6 million and 1.7 million stock options, respectively. These shares were excluded from the diluted earnings per share computation because for the years noted, the exercise price of the stock options was greater than the average market price of the Company’s common shares during the related periods and the effect of including the stock options in the computation would be anti-dilutive. For the fiscal year ended 2007, there were no stock options excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation.

Note 4 – Share-Based Compensation
 
Accounting for Share-Based Compensation – Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”). Among its provisions, SFAS 123(R) requires the Company to recognize compensation expense for equity awards over the vesting period based on their grant-date fair value. The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) in using the modified prospective approach. Under this transition method, the measurement and our method of amortization of costs for share-based payments granted prior to, but not vested as of January 1, 2006, would be based on the same estimate of the grant-date fair value and the same amortization method that was previously used in our SFAS 123 pro forma disclosure. Results for prior periods have not been restated as provided for under the modified prospective approach. For equity awards granted after the date of adoption, we amortize share-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting term.
 
Compensation expense is recognized only for share-based payments expected to vest. We estimate forfeitures, both at the date of grant as well as throughout the vesting period, based on the Company’s historical experience and future expectations. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the effect of forfeitures on the pro forma expense amounts was recognized based on estimated forfeitures.
 
Total share-based compensation expense recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations is as follows:
 
                         
    Fiscal Year Ended  
    2008     2007     2006  
Total share-based compensation expense
  $ 56     $ 62     $ 65  
Income tax benefit
    (16 )     (17 )     (18 )
Noncontrolling interests
    (3 )     (5 )     (4 )
                         
Net income attributable to PBG impact
  $ 37     $ 40     $ 43  
                         
 
Share-Based Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plans – Prior to 2006, we granted non-qualified stock options to certain employees, including middle and senior management under our share-based long-term incentive compensation plans (“incentive plans”). Additionally, we granted restricted stock units to certain senior executives. Non-employee members of our Board of Directors (“Directors”) participate in a separate incentive plan and receive non-qualified stock options or restricted stock units.
 
Beginning in 2006, we grant a mix of stock options and restricted stock units to middle and senior management employees and Directors under our incentive plans.
 
Shares available for future issuance to employees and Directors under existing plans were 16.4 million at December 27, 2008.
 
The fair value of PBG stock options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-valuation model. The table below outlines the weighted-average assumptions for options granted during years ended December 27, 2008, December 29, 2007 and December 30, 2006:
 
                         
    2008     2007     2006  
Risk-free interest rate
    2.8 %     4.5 %     4.7 %
Expected term (in years)
    5.3       5.6       5.7  
Expected volatility
    24 %     25 %     27 %
Expected dividend yield
    2.0 %     1.8 %     1.5 %
                         
 
The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining expected term. The expected term of the options represents the estimated period of time employees will retain their vested stocks until exercise. Due to the lack of historical experience in stock option exercises, we estimate expected term utilizing a combination of the simplified method as prescribed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 and historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior. Expected stock price volatility is based on a combination of historical volatility of the Company’s stock and the implied volatility of its traded options. The expected dividend yield is management’s long-term estimate of annual dividends to be paid as a percentage of share price.
 
The fair value of restricted stock units is based on the fair value of PBG stock on the date of grant.
 
We receive a tax deduction for certain stock option exercises when the options are exercised, generally for the excess of the stock price over the exercise price of the options. Additionally, we receive a tax deduction for restricted stock units equal to the fair market value of PBG’s stock at the date the restricted stock units are converted to PBG stock. SFAS 123(R) requires that benefits received from tax deductions resulting from the grant-date fair value of equity awards be reported as operating cash inflows in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Benefits from tax deductions in excess of the grant-date fair value from equity awards are treated as financing cash inflows in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. For the year ended December 27, 2008, we recognized $7 million in tax benefits from equity awards in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, of which $2 million was recorded in the financing section with the remaining being recorded in cash from operations.
 
As of December 27, 2008, there was approximately $75 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the incentive plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years.
 
Stock Options – Stock options expire after 10 years and generally vest ratably over three years. Stock options granted to Directors are typically fully vested on the grant date.

Restricted Stock Units – Restricted stock units granted to employees generally vest over three years. In addition, restricted stock unit awards to certain senior executives contain vesting provisions that are contingent upon the achievement of pre-established performance targets. The initial restricted stock unit award to Directors remains restricted while the individual serves on the Board. The annual grants to Directors vest immediately, but receipt of the shares may be deferred. All restricted stock unit awards are settled in shares of PBG common stock.

Industrial Revenue Bonds – Pursuant to the terms of an industrial revenue bond, we transferred title of certain fixed assets with a net book value of $72 million to a state governmental authority in the U.S. to receive a property tax abatement. The title to these assets will revert back to PBG upon retirement or cancellation of the bond. These fixed assets are still recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as all risks and rewards remain with the Company.

During the first quarter of 2008, we acquired Pepsi-Cola Batavia Bottling Corp. This Pepsi-Cola franchise bottler serves certain New York counties in whole or in part. As a result of the acquisition, we recorded approximately $19 million of non-amortizable franchise rights and $4 million of non-compete agreements.
 
During the first quarter of 2008, we acquired distribution rights for SoBe brands in portions of Arizona and Texas and recorded approximately $6 million of non-amortizable distribution rights.
 
During the fourth quarter of 2008, we acquired Lane Affiliated Companies, Inc. (“Lane”). This Pepsi-Cola franchise bottler serves portions of Colorado,

Arizona and New Mexico. As a result of the acquisition, we recorded approximately $176 million of non-amortizable franchise rights.
 
During the first quarter of 2007, we acquired from Nor-Cal Beverage Company, Inc., franchise and bottling rights for select Cadbury Schweppes brands in the Northern California region. As a result of the acquisition, we recorded approximately $50 million of non-amortizable franchise rights.
 
As a result of the formation of the PR Beverages venture in the second quarter of 2007, we recorded licensing rights valued at $315 million, representing the fair value of the exclusive license and related rights granted by PepsiCo to PR Beverages to manufacture and sell the concentrate for PepsiCo beverage products sold in Russia. The licensing rights have an indefinite useful life and are not subject to amortization. For further discussion on the PR Beverages venture see Note 15.
 
Intangible Asset Amortization – Intangible asset amortization expense was $9 million, $10 million and $12 million in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Amortization expense for each of the next five years is estimated to be approximately $7 million or less.
 
Goodwill – The changes in the carrying value of goodwill by reportable segment for the years ended December 29, 2007 and December 27, 2008 are as follows:
 
                                 
    U.S. & Canada     Europe     Mexico     Total

Balance at December 27, 2008
  $ 1,235     $ 26     $ 173     $ 1,434  
                                 
 
During 2008, the purchase price allocations in the U.S. & Canada segment primarily relate to goodwill allocations resulting from the Lane acquisition discussed above. In the Europe segment, the purchase price allocations primarily relate to Russia’s purchase of Sobol-Aqua JSC (“Sobol”) in the second quarter of 2008. Sobol manufactures its brands and co-packs various Pepsi products in Siberia and Eastern Russia.
 
During 2008 and 2007, the purchase price allocations in the Mexico segment primarily relate to goodwill allocations resulting from changes in taxes associated with prior year acquisitions.
 
Annual Impairment Testing – The Company completes its impairment testing of goodwill in accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” annually, or more frequently as indicators warrant. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized; however, they are evaluated for impairment at least annually or more frequently if facts and circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. In previous years the Company completed this test in the fourth quarter using a measurement date of third quarter-end. During the second quarter ended June 14, 2008, the Company changed its impairment testing of goodwill to the third quarter, using a measurement date at the beginning of the third quarter. With the exception of Mexico’s intangible assets, the Company has also changed its impairment testing of intangible assets with indefinite useful lives to the third quarter, using a measurement date at the beginning of the third quarter. Impairment testing of Mexico’s intangible assets with indefinite useful lives was completed in the fourth quarter to coincide with the completion of the strategic review of the business.
 
As a result of this testing, the Company recorded a $412 million non-cash impairment charge ($277 million net of tax and noncontrolling interests). The impairment charge relates primarily to distribution rights and brands for Electropura water business in Mexico. The impairment charge relating to these intangible assets was determined based upon the findings of an extensive strategic review and the finalization of certain restructuring plans for our Mexican business. In light of weakening macroeconomic conditions and our outlook for the business in Mexico, we lowered our expectations of the future performance, which reduced the value of these intangible assets and triggered an impairment charge. The fair value of our franchise rights and distribution rights was estimated using a multi-period excess earnings method that is based upon estimated discounted future cash flows. The fair value of our brands was estimated using a multi-period royalty savings method, which reflects the savings realized by owning the brand and, therefore, not having to pay a royalty fee to a third party.
 
Note 7 – Investment in Noncontrolled Affiliate
 
During the second half of 2008, together with PepsiCo, we completed a joint acquisition of JSC Lebedyansky (“Lebedyansky”) for approximately $1.8 billion. The acquisition does not include the company’s baby food and mineral water businesses, which were spun off to shareholders in a separate transaction prior to our acquisition. Lebedyansky was acquired 58.3 percent by PepsiCo and 41.7 percent by PR Beverages, our Russian venture with PepsiCo. We and PepsiCo have an ownership interest in PR Beverages of 60 percent and 40 percent, respectively. As a result, PepsiCo and we have acquired a 75 percent and 25 percent economic stake in Lebedyansky, respectively.
 
We have recorded an equity investment for PR Beverages’ share in Lebedyansky. In addition, we have recorded a noncontrolling interest contribution for PepsiCo’s proportional contribution to PR Beverages relating to Lebedyansky.
 
Note 8 – Fair Value Measurements
 
We adopted SFAS 157 at the beginning of fiscal 2008 for all financial instruments valued on a recurring basis, at least annually. The standard defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It also establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:
 
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

30


Table of Contents

     
PART II (continued)    
     

 
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in non-active markets, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
 
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the input used in pricing the asset or liability.
 
If the inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
 
The following table summarizes the financial assets and liabilities we measure at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 27, 2008:

Aggregate Maturities — Long-Term Debt – Aggregate maturities of long-term debt as of December 27, 2008 are as follows: 2009: $1,301 million, 2010: $29 million, 2011: $7 million, 2012: $1,000 million, 2013: $400 million, 2014 and thereafter: $3,350 million. The maturities of long-term debt do not include the capital lease obligations, the non-cash impact of the SFAS 133 adjustment and the interest effect of the unamortized discount.
 
On October 24, 2008, we issued $1.3 billion of 6.95 percent senior notes due 2014 (the “Notes”). The Notes were guaranteed by PepsiCo on February 17, 2009. A portion of this debt was used to repay our senior notes due in 2009 at their maturity on February 17, 2009. In the interim, these proceeds were placed in short-term investments. In addition, we used a portion of the proceeds to finance the Lane acquisition and repay short-term commercial paper debt, a portion of which was used to finance our acquisition of Lebedyansky.
 
2008 Short-Term Debt Activities – We have a committed credit facility of $1.1 billion and an uncommitted credit facility of $500 million. Both of these credit facilities are guaranteed by Bottling LLC and are used to

31


Table of Contents

support our $1.2 billion commercial paper program and working capital requirements.
 
At December 27, 2008, we had no outstanding commercial paper. At December 29, 2007, we had $50 million in outstanding commercial paper with a weighted-average interest rate of 5.3 percent.
 
In addition to the credit facilities discussed above, we had available bank credit lines of approximately $772 million at year-end 2008, of which the majority was uncommitted. These lines were primarily used to support the general operating needs of our international locations. As of year-end 2008, we had $103 million outstanding under these lines of credit at a weighted-average interest rate of 10.0 percent. As of year-end 2007, we had available short-term bank credit lines of approximately $748 million with $190 million outstanding at a weighted-average interest rate of 5.3 percent.
 
Debt Covenants – Certain of our senior notes have redemption features and non-financial covenants that will, among other things, limit our ability to create or assume liens, enter into sale and lease-back transactions, engage in mergers or consolidations and transfer or lease all or substantially all of our assets. Additionally, certain of our credit facilities and senior notes have financial covenants consisting of the following:
 
•   Our debt to capitalization ratio should not be greater than .75 on the last day of a fiscal quarter when PepsiCo’s ratings are A- by S&P and A3 by Moody’s or higher. Debt is defined as total long-term and short-term debt plus accrued interest plus total standby letters of credit and other guarantees less cash and cash equivalents not in excess of $500 million. Capitalization is defined as debt plus PBG shareholders’ equity plus noncontrolling interests, excluding the impact of the cumulative translation adjustment.
 
•   Our debt to EBITDA ratio should not be greater than five on the last day of a fiscal quarter when PepsiCo’s ratings are less than A- by S&P or A3 by Moody’s. EBITDA is defined as the last four quarters of earnings before depreciation, amortization, net interest expense, income taxes, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, net other non-operating expenses and extraordinary items.
 
•   New secured debt should not be greater than 15 percent of our net tangible assets. Net tangible assets are defined as total assets less current liabilities and net intangible assets.
 
As of December 27, 2008 we were in compliance with all debt covenants.
 
Interest Payments and Expense – Amounts paid to third parties for interest, net of settlements from our interest rate swaps, were $293 million, $305 million and $289 million in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Total interest expense incurred during 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $316 million, $305 million and $298 million, respectively.
 
Letters of Credit, Bank Guarantees and Surety Bonds – At December 27, 2008, we had outstanding letters of credit, bank guarantees and surety bonds valued at $294 million from financial institutions primarily to provide collateral for estimated self-insurance claims and other insurance requirements.
 
Note 10 – Leases
 
We have non-cancelable commitments under both capital and long-term operating leases, principally for real estate and office equipment. Certain of our operating leases for real estate contain escalation clauses, holiday rent allowances and other rent incentives. We recognize rent expense on our operating leases, including these allowances and incentives, on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Capital and operating lease commitments expire at various dates through 2072. Most leases require payment of related executory costs, which include property taxes, maintenance and insurance.
 
The cost of real estate and office equipment under capital leases is included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as property, plant and equipment. Amortization of assets under capital leases is included in depreciation expense.
 
Capital lease additions totaled $4 million, $7 million and $33 million for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Included in the 2006 additions was a $25 million capital lease agreement with PepsiCo to lease vending equipment. In 2007, we repaid this lease obligation with PepsiCo.
 
The future minimum lease payments by year and in the aggregate, under capital leases and non-cancelable operating leases consisted of the following at December 27, 2008:

Note 11 – Financial Instruments and Risk Management
 
We are subject to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and our stock price. In the normal course of business, we manage these risks through a variety of strategies, including the use of derivatives. Certain of these derivatives are designated as either cash flow or fair value hedges.
 
Cash Flow Hedges – We are subject to market risk with respect to the cost of commodities because our ability to recover increased costs through

32


Table of Contents

     
PART II (continued)    
     

higher pricing may be limited by the competitive business environment in which we operate. We use future and option contracts to hedge the risk of adverse movements in commodity prices related primarily to anticipated purchases of raw materials and energy used in our operations. These contracts generally range from one to 24 months in duration and qualify for cash flow hedge accounting treatment. At December 27, 2008 the fair value of our commodity contracts was a $57 million net loss, of which $48 million and $9 million was recorded in other current liabilities and other liabilities, respectively, in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. In 2008, $48 million of a net loss was recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”). Additionally, in 2008, $14 million of a net gain was reclassified into earnings in selling, delivery and administrative expenses for our commodity contracts.
 
We are subject to foreign currency transactional risks in certain of our international territories for transactions that are denominated in currencies that are different from their functional currency. We enter into forward exchange contracts to hedge portions of our forecasted U.S. dollar purchases in our foreign businesses. These contracts generally range from one to 12 months in duration and qualify for cash flow hedge accounting treatment. At December 27, 2008, the fair value of our foreign exchange contracts was a $4 million gain recorded in other current assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. In 2008, $11 million of a gain was recognized in AOCL and $2 million of a loss was reclassified into earnings in cost of goods sold for our foreign exchange contracts.
 
For these cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of a derivative instrument is deferred in AOCL until the underlying hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a fair value change on a qualifying cash flow hedge is recognized in earnings immediately and is recorded consistent with the expense classification of the underlying hedged item.
 
We have also entered into treasury rate lock agreements to hedge against adverse interest rate changes on certain debt financing arrangements, which qualify for cash flow hedge accounting. Gains and losses that are considered effective are deferred in AOCL and amortized to interest expense over the duration of the debt term. In 2008, we recognized a $20 million loss in AOCL for treasury rate locks that settled in the fourth quarter. Additionally, in 2008, we reclassified from AOCL $7 million of a loss to interest expense from our treasury rate locks that previously settled.
 
The following summarizes activity in AOCL related to derivatives designated as cash flow hedges held by the Company during the applicable periods:

Assuming no change in the commodity prices and foreign currency rates as measured on December 27, 2008, $47 million of unrealized losses will be recognized in earnings over the next 24 months. During 2008 we recognized $8 million of ineffectiveness for the treasury locks that were settled in the fourth quarter. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of our other contracts was not material to our results of operations in 2008, 2007 or 2006.
 
Fair Value Hedges – We finance a portion of our operations through fixed-rate debt instruments. We effectively converted $1.1 billion of our senior notes to floating-rate debt through the use of interest rate swaps with the objective of reducing our overall borrowing costs. These interest rate swaps meet the criteria for fair value hedge accounting and are 100 percent effective in eliminating the market rate risk inherent in our long-term debt. Accordingly, any gain or loss associated with these swaps is fully offset by the opposite market impact on the related debt. During 2008, the fair value of the interest rate swaps increased to a net asset of $6.1 million at December 27, 2008 from a liability of $0.3 million at December 29, 2007. The fair value of our swaps was recorded in other assets and other liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
 
Foreign Currency Hedges – We entered into forward exchange contracts to economically hedge a portion of our intercompany receivable balances that are denominated in Mexican pesos. At December 27, 2008, the fair value of these contracts was $9 million and was classified in other current assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. The earnings impact from these instruments is classified in other non-operating expenses (income), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
 
Unfunded Deferred Compensation Liability – Our unfunded deferred compensation liability is subject to changes in our stock price as well as

price changes in other equity and fixed-income investments. Participating employees in our deferred compensation program can elect to defer all or a portion of their compensation to be paid out on a future date or dates. As part of the deferral process, employees select from phantom investment options that determine the earnings on the deferred compensation liability and the amount that they will ultimately receive. Employee investment elections include PBG stock and a variety of other equity and fixed-income investment options.
 
Since the plan is unfunded, employees’ deferred compensation amounts are not directly invested in these investment vehicles. Instead, we track the performance of each employee’s investment selections and adjust his or her deferred compensation account accordingly. The adjustments to employees’ accounts increases or decreases the deferred compensation liability reflected on our Consolidated Balance Sheets with an offsetting increase or decrease to our selling, delivery and administrative expenses.
 
We use prepaid forward contracts to hedge the portion of our deferred compensation liability that is based on our stock price. At December 27, 2008, we had a prepaid forward contract for 585,000 shares at a price of $22.00, which was accounted for as an economic hedge. This contract requires cash settlement and has a fair value at December 27, 2008, of $13 million recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. The fair value of this contract changes based on the change in our stock price compared with the contract exercise price. We recognized an expense of $10 million and income of $5 million in 2008 and 2007, respectively, resulting from the change in fair value of these prepaid forward contracts. The earnings impact from these instruments is recorded in selling, delivery and administrative expenses.
 
Other Financial Assets and Liabilities – Financial assets with carrying values approximating fair value include cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Financial liabilities with carrying values approximating fair value include accounts payable and other accrued liabilities and short-term debt. The carrying value of these financial assets and liabilities approximates fair value due to their short maturities and since interest rates approximate current market rates for short-term debt.
 
Long-term debt, which includes the current maturities of long-term debt, at December 27, 2008, had a carrying value and fair value of $6.1 billion and $6.4 billion, respectively, and at December 29, 2007, had a carrying value and fair value of $4.8 billion and $4.9 billion, respectively. The fair value is based on interest rates that are currently available to us for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.
 
Note 12 – Pension and Postretirement Medical Benefit Plans
 
Employee Benefit Plans – We sponsor both pension and other postretirement medical benefit plans in various forms in the United States and other similar pension plans in our international locations, covering employees who meet specified eligibility requirements. The assets, liabilities and expense associated with our international plans were not significant to our results of operations and are not included in the tables and discussion presented below.
 
Defined Benefit Pension Plans – In the U.S. we participate in non-contributory defined benefit pension plans for certain full-time salaried and hourly employees. Benefits are generally based on years of service and compensation, or stated amounts for each year of service. Effective January 1, 2007, newly hired salaried and non-union hourly employees are not eligible to participate in these plans. Additionally, effective April 1, 2009, we will no longer continue to accrue benefits for certain of our salaried and non-union employees that do not meet age and service requirements.
 
Postretirement Medical Plans – Our postretirement medical plans provide medical and life insurance benefits principally to U.S. retirees and their dependents. Employees are eligible for benefits if they meet age and service requirements. The plans are not funded and since 1993 have included retiree cost sharing.
 
Defined Contribution Benefits – Nearly all of our U.S. employees are eligible to participate in our defined contribution plans, which are voluntary defined contribution savings plans. We make matching contributions to the defined contribution savings plans on behalf of participants eligible to receive such contributions. Additionally, employees not eligible to participate in the defined benefit pension plans and employees whose benefits will be discontinued will receive additional Company retirement contributions under the defined contribution plans. Defined contribution expense was $29 million, $27 million and $22 million in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The table above shows the target allocation for 2009 and the actual allocation as of December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007. Target allocations of PBG sponsored pension plans’ assets reflect the long-term nature of our pension liabilities. The target allocation for 2009 has been changed in the first quarter of 2009 from 75 percent equity and 25 percent fixed income to 65 percent equity and 35 percent fixed income. None of the current assets are invested directly in equity or debt instruments issued by PBG, PepsiCo or any bottling affiliates of PepsiCo, although it is possible that insignificant indirect investments exist through our broad market indices. PBG sponsored pension plans’ equity investments are currently diversified across all areas of the equity market (i.e., large, mid and small capitalization stocks as well as international equities). PBG sponsored pension plans’ fixed income investments are also currently diversified and consist of both corporate and U.S. government bonds. The pension plans currently do not invest directly in any derivative investments. The pension plans’ assets are held in a pension trust account at our trustee’s bank.
 
PBG’s pension investment policy and strategy are mandated by PBG’s Pension Investment Committee (“PIC”) and are overseen by the PBG Board of Directors’ Compensation and Management Development Committee. The plan assets are invested using a combination of enhanced and passive indexing strategies. The performance of the plan assets is benchmarked against market indices and reviewed by the PIC. Changes in investment strategies, asset allocations and specific investments are approved by the PIC prior to execution.
 
Health Care Cost Trend Rates – We have assumed an average increase of 8.75 percent in 2009 in the cost of postretirement medical benefits for employees who retired before cost sharing was introduced. This average increase is then projected to decline gradually to five percent in 2015 and thereafter.
 
Assumed health care cost trend rates have an impact on the amounts reported for postretirement medical plans. A one-percentage point change in assumed health care costs would have the following impact:
 
                 
    1% Increase     1% Decrease

Effect on total fiscal year 2008 postretirement benefit obligation

Pension and Postretirement Cash Flow – We do not fund our pension plan and postretirement medical plans when our contributions would not be tax deductible or when benefits would be taxable to the employee before receipt. Of the total U.S. pension liabilities at December 27, 2008, $72 million relates to pension plans not funded due to these unfavorable tax consequences.

    $ 112     $ 177     $ 159  
                         
 
In 2008, our tax provision includes the following significant items:
 
•  Tax impact from impairment charge – During 2008, we recorded a deferred tax benefit of $115 million associated with impairment charges primarily related to our business in Mexico.
 
•  Tax impact from restructuring – We incurred restructuring charges in the fourth quarter of 2008 which resulted in a tax benefit of $21 million.
 
In 2007, our tax provision included higher taxes on higher international earnings, as well as the following significant items:
 
•  Valuation allowances – During 2007, we reversed deferred tax asset valuation allowances resulting in an $11 million tax benefit. These reversals were due to improved profitability trends in Russia.
 
•  Tax audit settlement – The statute of limitations for the IRS audit of our 2001-2002 tax returns closed on June 30, 2007, and we released approximately $46 million in reserves for uncertain tax benefits relating to such audit.
 
•  Tax rate changes – During 2007, changes to the income tax laws in Canada, Mexico and certain state jurisdictions in the U.S. were enacted. These law changes required us to re-measure our net deferred tax liabilities which resulted in a net decrease to our income tax expense of approximately $13 million before the impact of noncontrolling interests.
 
In 2006, our tax provision included increased taxes on U.S. earnings and additional contingencies related to certain historic tax positions, as well as the following significant items:
 
•  Valuation allowances – During 2006, we reversed deferred tax asset valuation allowances resulting in a $34 million tax benefit. These reversals were due to improved profitability trends and certain restructurings in Spain, Russia and Turkey.
 
•  Tax audit settlement – The statute of limitations for the IRS audit of our 1999-2000 tax returns closed on December 30, 2006, and we released approximately $55 million in tax contingency reserves relating to such audit.
 
•  Tax rate changes – During 2006, changes to the income tax laws in Canada, Turkey and certain jurisdictions within the U.S. were enacted. These law changes required us to re-measure our net deferred tax liabilities using lower tax rates which decreased our income tax expense by approximately $11 million before the impact of noncontrolling interests.

We have net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) totaling $1,681 million at December 27, 2008, which resulted in deferred tax assets of $445 million and which may be available to reduce future taxes in the U.S., Spain, Greece, Turkey, Russia and Mexico. Of these NOLs, $12 million expire in 2009, $657 million expire at various times between 2010 and 2028, and $1,012 million have an indefinite life. At December 27, 2008, we have tax credit carryforwards in the U.S. of $4 million with an indefinite carryforward period and in Mexico of $34 million, which expire at various times between 2009 and 2017.
 
We establish valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets, including NOLs and tax credits, when the amount of expected future taxable income is not likely to support the use of the deduction or credit. Our valuation allowances, which reduce our deferred tax assets to an amount that will more likely than not be realized, were $227 million at December 27, 2008. Our valuation allowance decreased $17 million in 2008, and increased $49 million in 2007.
 
Deferred taxes have not been recognized on the excess of the amount for financial reporting purposes over the tax basis of investments in foreign subsidiaries that are expected to be permanent in duration. This amount becomes taxable upon a repatriation of assets from the subsidiary or a sale or liquidation of the subsidiary. The amount of such temporary difference totaled approximately $1,048 million at December 27, 2008 and $1,113 million at December 29, 2007, respectively. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred income taxes related to this temporary difference is not practicable.
 
Income taxes receivable from taxing authorities were $25 million and $19 million at December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, respectively. Such amounts are recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Income taxes payable to taxing authorities were $20 million and $36 million at December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, respectively. Such amounts are recorded within accounts payable and other current liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
 
Income taxes receivable from PepsiCo were $1 million and $7 million at December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, respectively. Such amounts are recorded within accounts receivable in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts paid to taxing authorities and PepsiCo for income taxes were $142 million, $195 million and $203 million in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
We file annual income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. state and local jurisdictions, and in various foreign jurisdictions. Our tax filings are subject to review by various tax authorities who may disagree with our positions.
 
A number of years may elapse before an uncertain tax position, for which we have established tax reserves, is audited and finally resolved. While it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of the resolution of an audit, we believe that our reserves for uncertain tax benefits reflect the outcome of tax positions that is more-likely than not to occur. We adjust these reserves, as well as the related interest and penalties, in light of changing facts and circumstances. The resolution of a matter could be recognized as an adjustment to our provision for income taxes and our deferred taxes in the period of resolution, and may also require a use of cash.
 
Our major taxing jurisdictions include the U.S., Mexico, Canada and Russia. The following table summarizes the years that remain subject to examination and the years currently under audit by major tax jurisdictions:
 
                 
    Years Subject to

We also have a tax separation agreement with PepsiCo, which among other provisions, specifies that PepsiCo maintain full control and absolute discretion for any combined or consolidated tax filings for tax periods ended on or before our initial public offering that occurred in March 1999. In accordance with the tax separation agreement, we will bear our allocable share of any cost or benefit resulting from the settlement of tax matters affecting us for these tax periods. The IRS has issued a Revenue Agent’s Report (“RAR”) related to PBG and PepsiCo’s joint tax returns for 1998 through March 1999. We have agreed with the IRS conclusion, except for one matter which continues to be in dispute.
 
We currently have on-going income tax audits in our major tax jurisdictions, where issues such as deductibility of certain expenses have been raised. In Canada, income tax audits have been completed for all tax

years through 2005. We are in agreement with the audit results except for one matter which we continue to dispute for our 1999 through 2005 tax years. In January, 2009, we reached an agreement with the IRS related to our 2003-2005 audit years, which will result in a cash payment of approximately $4 million.
 
We believe that it is reasonably possible that our worldwide reserves for uncertain tax benefits could decrease in the range of $130 million to $170 million within the next twelve months as a result of the completion of audits in various jurisdictions, including the settlement with the IRS and the expiration of statute of limitations. The reductions in our tax reserves will result in a combination of additional tax payments, the adjustment of certain deferred taxes or the recognition of tax benefits in our income statement. In the event that we cannot reach settlement of some of these audits, our tax reserves may increase, although we cannot estimate such potential increases at this time.
 
Below is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of our reserves for income taxes which are recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 14 – Segment Information
 
We operate in one industry, carbonated soft drinks and other ready-to-drink beverages, and all of our segments derive revenue from these products. PBG has three reportable segments — U.S. & Canada, Europe (which includes Spain, Russia, Greece and Turkey) and Mexico.
 
Operationally, the Company is organized along geographic lines with specific regional management teams having responsibility for the financial results in each reportable segment. We evaluate the performance of these segments based on operating income or loss. Operating income or loss is exclusive of net interest expense, noncontrolling interests, foreign exchange gains and losses and income taxes.

Note 15 – Related Party Transactions
 
PepsiCo is a related party due to the nature of our franchise relationship and its ownership interest in our Company. The most significant agreements that govern our relationship with PepsiCo consist of:
 
(1)   Master Bottling Agreement for cola beverages bearing the Pepsi-Cola and Pepsi trademarks in the U.S.; bottling agreements and distribution agreements for non-cola beverages; and a master fountain syrup agreement in the U.S.;
 
(2)   Agreements similar to the Master Bottling Agreement and the non-cola agreement for each country in which we operate, as well as a fountain syrup agreement for Canada;
 
(3)   A shared services agreement where we obtain various services from PepsiCo and provide services to PepsiCo;
 
(4)   Russia Venture Agreement related to the formation of PR Beverages;
 
(5)   Russia Snack Food Distribution Agreement pursuant to which our PR Beverages venture purchases snack food products from Frito-Lay, Inc. (“Frito”), a subsidiary of PepsiCo, for sale and distribution in the Russian Federation; and
 
(6)   Transition agreements that provide certain indemnities to the parties, and provide for the allocation of tax and other assets, liabilities and obligations arising from periods prior to the initial public offering.
 
The Master Bottling Agreement provides that we will purchase our entire requirements of concentrates for the cola beverages from PepsiCo at prices and on terms and conditions determined from time to time by PepsiCo. Additionally, we review our annual marketing, advertising, management and financial plans each year with PepsiCo for its approval. If we fail to submit these plans, or if we fail to carry them out in all material respects, PepsiCo can terminate our beverage agreements. If our beverage agreements with PepsiCo are terminated for this or for any other reason, it would have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.
 
On March 1, 2007, together with PepsiCo, we formed PR Beverages, a venture that enables us to strategically invest in Russia to accelerate our growth. PBG contributed its business in Russia to PR Beverages, and PepsiCo entered into bottling agreements with PR Beverages for PepsiCo beverage products sold in Russia on the same terms as in effect for PBG immediately prior to the venture. PR Beverages has an exclusive license to manufacture and sell PepsiCo concentrate for such products. PR Beverages has contracted with a PepsiCo subsidiary to manufacture such concentrate.
 
The following income (expense) amounts are considered related party transactions as a result of our relationship with PepsiCo and its affiliates:

(a) Bottler Incentives and Other Arrangements – In order to promote PepsiCo beverages, PepsiCo, at its discretion, provides us with various forms of bottler incentives. These incentives cover a variety of initiatives, including direct marketplace support and advertising support. We record most of these incentives as an adjustment to cost of sales unless the incentive is for reimbursement of a specific, incremental and identifiable cost. Under these conditions, the incentive would be recorded as an offset against the related costs, either in net revenues or selling, delivery and administrative expenses. Changes in our bottler incentives and funding levels could materially affect our business and financial results.
 
(b) Purchases of Concentrate and Finished Product – As part of our franchise relationship, we purchase concentrate from PepsiCo, pay royalties and produce or distribute other products through various arrangements with PepsiCo or PepsiCo joint ventures. The prices we pay for concentrate, finished goods and royalties are generally determined by PepsiCo at its sole

40

discretion. Concentrate prices are typically determined annually. Effective January 2009, PepsiCo increased the price of U.S. concentrate by four percent. Significant changes in the amount we pay PepsiCo for concentrate, finished goods and royalties could materially affect our business and financial results. These amounts are reflected in cost of sales in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
 
(c) Fountain Service Fee – We manufacture and distribute fountain products and provide fountain equipment service to PepsiCo customers in some territories in accordance with the Pepsi beverage agreements. Fees received from PepsiCo for these transactions offset the cost to provide these services. The fees and costs for these services are recorded in selling, delivery and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
 
(d) Frito-Lay Purchases – We purchase snack food products from Frito for sale and distribution in Russia primarily to accommodate PepsiCo with the infrastructure of our distribution network. Frito would otherwise be required to source third-party distribution services to reach their customers in Russia. We make payments to PepsiCo for the cost of these snack products and retain a minimal net fee based on the gross sales price of the products. Payments for the purchase of snack products are reflected in selling, delivery and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
 
(e) Shared Services – We provide to and receive various services from PepsiCo and PepsiCo affiliates pursuant to a shared services agreement and other arrangements. In the absence of these agreements, we would have to obtain such services on our own. We might not be able to obtain these services on terms, including cost, which are as favorable as those we receive from PepsiCo. Total expenses incurred and income generated is reflected in selling, delivery and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
 
(f) Income Tax Benefit – Includes settlements under the tax separation agreement with PepsiCo.
 
Other Related Party Transactions
Bottling LLC will distribute pro rata to PepsiCo and PBG, based upon membership interest, sufficient cash such that the aggregate cash distributed to PBG will enable PBG to pay its taxes, share repurchases, dividends and make interest payments for its internal and external debt. PepsiCo’s pro rata cash distribution during 2008, 2007 and 2006 from Bottling LLC was $73 million, $17 million and $19 million, respectively.
 
In accordance with our tax separation agreement with PepsiCo, in 2006 PBG reimbursed PepsiCo $5 million for our obligations with respect to certain IRS matters relating to the tax years 1998 through March 1999.
 
There are certain manufacturing cooperatives whose assets, liabilities and results of operations are consolidated in our financial statements. Concentrate purchases from PepsiCo by these cooperatives, not included in the table above, for the years ended 2008, 2007 and 2006 were $140 million, $143 million and $72 million, respectively. We also have equity investments in certain other manufacturing cooperatives. Total purchases of finished goods from these cooperatives, not included in the table above, for the years ended 2008, 2007 and 2006 were $61 million, $66 million and $71 million, respectively. These manufacturing cooperatives purchase concentrate from PepsiCo for certain of its finished goods sold to the Company.
 
As of December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, the receivables from PepsiCo and its affiliates were $154 million and $188 million, respectively. Our receivables from PepsiCo are shown as part of accounts receivable in our Consolidated Financial Statements. As of December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, the payables to PepsiCo and its affiliates were $217 million and $255 million, respectively. Our payables to PepsiCo are shown as part of accounts payable and other current liabilities in our Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
As a result of the formation of PR Beverages, PepsiCo has agreed to contribute $83 million plus accrued interest to the venture in the form of property, plant and equipment. PepsiCo has contributed $49 million in regards to this note. The remaining balance to be contributed to the venture is $39 million as of December 27, 2008.
 
Two of our board members have been designated by PepsiCo. These board members do not serve on our Audit and Affiliated Transactions Committee, Compensation and Management Development Committee or Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. In addition, one of the managing directors of Bottling LLC is an officer of PepsiCo.
 
Note 16 –  Restructuring Charges
 
On November 18, 2008, we announced a restructuring program to enhance the Company’s operating capabilities in each of our reporting segments with the objective to strengthen customer service and selling effectiveness; simplify decision making and streamline the organization; drive greater cost productivity to adapt to current macroeconomic challenges; and rationalize the Company’s supply chain infrastructure. As part of the restructuring program, approximately 3,150 positions will be eliminated across all reporting segments, four facilities will be closed in the U.S., three plants and about 30 distribution centers will be closed in Mexico and about 700 routes will be eliminated in Mexico. In addition, the Company will modify its U.S. defined benefit pension plans, which will generate long-term savings and significantly reduce future financial obligations.
 
The Company expects to record pre-tax charges of $140 million to $170 million over the course of the restructuring program which is primarily for severance and related benefits, pension and other employee-related costs and other charges including employee relocation and asset disposal costs. During 2008, we eliminated approximately 1,050 positions across all reporting segments and closed three facilities in the U.S., two plants in Mexico and eliminated 126 routes in Mexico. As of December 27, 2008, the Company incurred a pre-tax charge of approximately $83 million, which was recorded in selling, delivery and administrative expenses. The remaining costs are expected to be incurred in fiscal year 2009.
 
The Company expects about $130 million in pre-tax cash expenditures from these restructuring actions, of which $13 million was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2008, with the balance expected to occur in 2009 and 2010. This includes $2 million of employee benefit payments pursuant to existing unfunded termination indemnity plans. These benefit payments have been accrued for in previous periods, and therefore, are not included in our estimated cost for this program and are not included in the tables below. The following table summarizes the pre-tax costs associated with the

Note 19 –  Contingencies
 
We are subject to various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, environmental and other matters arising out of the normal course of business. We believe that the ultimate liability arising from such claims or contingencies, if any, in excess of amounts already recognized is not likely to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
 
Note 20 –  Selected Quarterly Financial Data (unaudited)
 
Quarter to quarter comparisons of our financial results are impacted by our fiscal year cycle and the seasonality of our business. The seasonality of our operating results arises from higher sales in the second and third quarters versus the first and fourth quarters of the year, combined with the impact of fixed costs, such as depreciation and interest, which are not significantly impacted by business seasonality.

Note 21 –  Subsequent Event
 
On January 14, 2009, the Company issued an additional $750 million in senior notes, with a coupon rate of 5.125 percent, maturing in 2019. The net proceeds of the offering, together with a portion of the proceeds from the offering of our senior notes issued in the fourth quarter of 2008, were used to repay our senior notes due in 2009, at their scheduled maturity on February 17, 2009. Any excess proceeds of this offering will be used for general corporate purposes. The next significant scheduled debt maturity is not until 2012.
 
On April 19, 2009, PBG received an unsolicited proposal from PepsiCo to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock not

already owned by PepsiCo for $29.50 per share. The proposal consisted of $14.75 in cash plus 0.283 shares of PepsiCo common stock for each share of PBG common stock. Immediately following receipt of the proposal, PBG’s Board of Directors formed a special committee to review the adequacy of the proposal. On May 4, 2009, our Board of Directors rejected the proposal.
 
On August 3, 2009, PBG and PepsiCo entered into a definitive merger agreement, under which PepsiCo will acquire all outstanding shares of PBG common stock it does not already own for the price of $36.50 in cash or 0.6432 shares of PepsiCo common stock, subject to proration such that the aggregate consideration to be paid to PBG shareholders shall be 50 percent in cash and 50 percent in PepsiCo common stock. The transaction is subject to PBG shareholder approval and certain regulatory approvals and is expected to be finalized in late 2009 or early 2010.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc.
Somers, New York
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 27, 2008. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedule 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 27, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
 
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, effective December 30, 2007 and December 30, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R),” related to the measurement date provision and the requirement to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan, respectively.
 
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, effective December 31, 2006, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.”
 
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted for the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”).
 
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 27, 2008, based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 20, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
