        "With another strong quarter of double-digit earnings growth, we are demonstrating our ability to create shareowner value from the combined strengths of our brands and our global reach," said Neville Isdell, chairman and chief executive officer, The Coca-Cola Company. "By continuing to execute—together with our bottling partners—our clearly defined strategies, we see further attractive opportunities ahead for the long-term sustainable growth of our system.

        "Once again, this strong performance was led by our international business. Emerging market growth, combined with sequential improvement in North America, resulted in our third consecutive quarter of 6 percent unit case volume growth. Global sparkling beverage volume growth remained robust at 4 percent, and still beverages increased 14 percent as we focused on the highest value opportunities around the world. As we enter the final quarter of the year, we will continue to leverage our leading brands and strategic acquisitions and build our innovation pipeline while driving productivity."

        President and chief operating officer Muhtar Kent said, "World-class system execution continues to drive balanced growth across our global markets and portfolio of products, while providing consistency and sustainability in our business. In the quarter, performance in our Latin America, Africa, Eurasia and Pacific operating groups remained robust and solid results in Japan, India and the Philippines reflect our ability to restore sustainable growth to key markets.

        "As expected, our European Union Group faced difficult comparables from a strong set of results in 2006. However, I am pleased with our ability to drive results across our portfolio of brands by utilizing innovations such as Coca-Cola Zero and trademark brands such as Minute Maid. I am also encouraged by the early signs of progress in North America. Importantly, these results reflect the mindset and actions of our people who share a relentless commitment to winning around the globe."

(All references to growth rate percentages and share compare the results of the period to those of the prior year comparable period.)

•

International operations delivered 8 percent unit case volume growth in the quarter, reflecting double-digit growth in key emerging markets, including China, Turkey, Russia, India, Pakistan, Brazil, the Philippines, Eastern Europe and Southern Eurasia. Unit case volume growth of more than 4 percent in Japan reflected improved consistency in performance. The Latin America and Africa Groups continued to achieve strong broad-based unit case volume growth across all business units. Unit case volume declined 2 percent in the European Union as solid growth in Central and Southern Europe was offset by declines in Western Europe as a result of unfavorable weather in the quarter and the cycling of acquisitions, World Cup activation and favorable weather in the prior year quarter. North America achieved 1 percent unit case volume growth, reflecting improved performance and the benefit of acquisitions.



•

The Company continued to achieve strong growth in sparkling beverages, which increased unit case volume 4 percent in the quarter. Key brands led the way with Trademarks Coca-Cola, Fanta and Sprite growing unit case volume 4, 4 and 9 percent, respectively, in the quarter.



•

Unit case volume in the quarter for Trademark Dasani increased high single digits, cycling double-digit growth in the prior year quarter. Additionally, unit case volume of Trademark Powerade and Trademark Minute Maid increased double digits and low single digits, respectively, in the quarter.



•

	Third Quarter		Year- To-Date
Unit Case Volume	17	%	17	%
Net Revenues	24	%	21	%

•

The Eurasia Group's unit case volume increased 17 percent in the quarter, cycling 16 percent growth in the prior year quarter.

Operating income growth in the quarter of 65 percent reflected the benefit of the net revenue increase and efficiency of investment in key business initiatives.



•

Continued investment in building organizational capabilities, marketing communication and focus on improved execution by the consolidated bottling operations resulted in solid growth and share gains in sparkling and still beverages.

European Union

	Percent Change From Prior Year
	Third Quarter		Year- To-Date
Unit Case Volume	(2	)%	4	%
Net Revenues	6	%	14	%
Operating Income	3	%	18	%

•

Unit case volume in the European Union Group decreased 2 percent in the quarter, cycling 10 percent growth in the prior year quarter. Solid unit case volume growth in Central and Southern Europe was offset by a mid single-digit volume decline in Western Europe, resulting from unfavorable summer weather across Western Europe and the cycling of World Cup activation, acquisitions and favorable weather in the prior year quarter. Continued execution of core strategies led to stabilization or share gains in key categories across the Group, while the industry was impacted by the unfavorable summer weather. In the quarter, net revenues increased 6 percent, reflecting a 2 percent decrease in concentrate sales, positive pricing and mix, and a mid single-digit benefit from currency. Operating income in the quarter increased 3 percent, primarily reflecting the net revenue increase, the focus on operating expense management, and the continued investment in key marketing initiatives, including leveraging the Coke Side of Life, Music and iTunes marketing campaigns, as well as the continued success of Coca-Cola Zero.



•

Unit case volume in Germany decreased 9 percent, cycling 15 percent growth in the prior year quarter. The results reflected overall industry softness and were driven by unfavorable summer weather and the cycling of World Cup activities and favorable weather in the prior year quarter. Coca-Cola Zero continued its success with volume growth in the quarter. Additionally, increased availability in the discounter channel supported the results. Effective September 1, 2007, the Company successfully completed the consolidation of the German bottling system. The single bottler will over time improve the Company's speed and flexibility in the market and with customers to drive top-line performance and supply chain efficiencies.

	Percent Change From Prior Year
	Third Quarter		Year- To-Date

Operating income in the quarter increased 22 percent, reflecting the net revenue increase and the continued investment in key marketing initiatives, including continued support behind Coca-Cola Zero and the new on-the-go "Contour Grip" bottle to drive profitable single-serve growth.



•

In Mexico, unit case volume increased 7 percent in the quarter, cycling 4 percent growth in the prior year quarter and delivering share gains. The growth was led by Trademark Coca-Cola, which increased 5 percent for the quarter including the continued success of Coca-Cola Zero which led to volume and value share gains in sparkling beverages.



•

In Brazil, unit case volume growth for the quarter was 16 percent, cycling 11 percent growth in the prior year. Solid growth in Trademark Coca-Cola led to sparkling beverage share gains. Continued unit case volume growth in still beverages also drove the results and led to continued share gains.



•

In Argentina, solid growth in Trademark Coca-Cola, including the continued success of Coca-Cola Zero, and Trademark Fanta, which leveraged the global Fanta "Play" campaign, contributed to unit case volume growth of 5 percent in the quarter, cycling 14 percent growth in the prior year quarter, and led to share gains.

North America

	Percent Change From Prior Year
	Third Quarter		Year- To-Date
Unit Case Volume	1	%	(1	)%
Net Revenues	21	%	11	%
Operating Income	17	%	2	%

•

Unit case volume in the North America Group increased 1 percent in the quarter, reflecting a 2 percent increase in Retail, including a benefit from acquisitions, and even volume in Foodservice and Hospitality. Net revenues for the quarter increased 21 percent, reflecting a 2 percent increase in concentrate sales, positive pricing, a mix benefit from strong sales of energy drinks and Powerade and an increase due to acquisitions. Operating income in the quarter increased 17 percent, reflecting the net revenue increase, including the benefit from acquisitions, partially offset by the impact of higher input costs on the finished goods businesses and restructuring costs.



•

Sparkling beverage unit case volume declined 2 percent in the quarter, reflecting the expected difficult category environment resulting from increased retail pricing. Category share gains in sparkling beverages were led by

the performance of diet sparkling beverages, which delivered even unit case volume growth in the quarter. Coca-Cola Zero continued to deliver strong performance in the quarter increasing unit case volume double digits leading to category share gains. Energy drinks continued to deliver strong double-digit growth in the quarter.

•

Still beverage unit case volume increased 10 percent in the quarter, reflecting solid growth in Powerade and Dasani, and the benefit from acquisitions. Powerade delivered double-digit unit case volume growth and gained share in the quarter. Dasani unit case volume increased mid single digits in the quarter, cycling double-digit growth in the prior year quarter. Warehouse-delivered chilled juices continued to gain category value share in the quarter, even though volume was negatively impacted by price increases to cover higher raw material costs. This decline was partially offset by continued unit case volume growth in Trademark Simply and Odwalla juices. Fuze and glacéau unit case volume increased ahead of our expectations and reflected increased availability and velocity.



•

On August 30, 2007, the Company announced the completion of the distribution agreement for the glacéau brands. The operating model is flexible, takes advantage of the strengths of the Coca-Cola system and leverages existing routes-to-market. The final distribution model is a hybrid which includes a mix of current distributors and bottlers with certain channels handled directly by the Company.

Pacific

	Percent Change From Prior Year
	Third Quarter		Year- To-Date
Unit Case Volume	11	%	9	%
Net Revenues	6	%	7	%
Operating Income	2	%	2	%

•

The Pacific Group increased unit case volume by 11 percent for the quarter, driven by double-digit growth in Trademark Coca-Cola. Net revenues for the quarter increased 6 percent, reflecting a 13 percent increase in concentrate sales, partially offset by unfavorable country mix. Operating income increased 2 percent for the quarter, driven by the increase in net revenues and a benefit from the cycling of restructuring charges in the prior year quarter, partially offset by the continued investment in key marketing initiatives and a negative low single digit currency impact.



•

In Japan, unit case volume increased more than 4 percent in the quarter, the fourth consecutive quarter of positive growth, leading to a share gain in the total nonalcoholic ready-to-drink category. Growth was led by a double-digit increase in Trademark Coca-Cola, as the three cola strategy delivered growth for all three brands, and continued growth in Trademark Sprite. In still beverages, the solid unit case volume growth of Sokenbicha, Aquarius, Qoo and in the water portfolio led to category share gains. Georgia Coffee unit case volume declined mid single digits in the quarter, reflecting softness in the category due to prolonged warm weather.



•

In China, unit case volume increased 20 percent led by double-digit growth in Trademark Coca-Cola, supported by the activation of the 2008 Summer Olympics campaign and continued success of the "Contour Grip" single serve package, and double-digit growth in Trademark Sprite. Still beverage unit case volume increased double digits in the quarter reflecting strong growth in Minute Maid. The strong performance across the portfolio resulted in share gains in both sparkling and still beverages.

•

In the Philippines, unit case volume increased by 13 percent in the quarter, cycling an 11 percent decline in the prior year quarter. The performance reflects the investment in key marketing initiatives and the focus on improving the route-to-market, reshaping and streamlining the supply chain and building sales capabilities.

Bottling Investments

	Percent Change From Prior Year
	Third Quarter		Year- To-Date
Unit Case Volume	63	%	64	%
Net Revenues	44	%	49	%
Operating Income	23	%	70	%

•

The Bottling Investments Group's unit case volume increased 63 percent in the quarter, including a benefit from acquisitions of certain bottlers. Net revenues increased 44 percent for the quarter due to the unit case volume increase, the acquisition of certain bottlers, favorable pricing and positive currency benefits, partially offset by negative mix due to unit case volume decline in Germany. The operating income increase in the quarter reflects the focus on driving improved financial performance through revenue increases, partially offset by the impact of restructuring charges in the current and prior year quarters.

Financial Review

Operating Results

        Net operating revenues for the quarter increased 19 percent, reflecting a 6 percent increase in concentrate sales, an 8 percent increase from structural changes resulting from acquisitions of certain bottlers, a 4 percent positive currency impact and a 1 percent favorable impact from pricing and mix.

        Cost of goods sold increased 27 percent for the quarter, reflecting a 6 percent increase in concentrate sales, a 16 percent increase from structural changes resulting from acquisitions of certain bottlers and items impacting comparability, a 4 percent increase from currency and increases in commodity-based input and freight costs.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter increased 16 percent, reflecting a 6 percent increase from structural changes resulting from acquisitions of certain bottlers, a 4 percent increase from currency, increased costs in the consolidated bottling operations to drive growth and continued investments in marketing, while effectively managing overall costs through productivity initiatives.

        The Company had other operating charges in the quarter of $81 million pre-tax primarily related to restructuring charges.

7

        Operating income for the quarter increased 10 percent. After considering items impacting comparability, operating income increased 12 percent, reflecting the growth in gross profit, including the benefit of brand acquisitions, the investments in marketing and increased sales and service expenses in the bottling operations, while effectively managing general and administrative expenses through productivity initiatives. Currency increased operating income in the quarter by 3 percent. Based on current spot rates and the anticipated benefits of hedging coverage in place, the Company currently expects currency to have a mid single-digit favorable impact on operating income for the fourth quarter.

        Equity income increased 24 percent in the quarter, reflecting solid performance from the bottling system throughout the world and tax benefits recorded at an equity investee, partially offset by asset write-downs and restructuring costs recorded by equity investees.

        In the third quarter, the Company sold a portion of its ownership interest in Coca-Cola Amatil Limited, reducing its interest from 32 percent to 30 percent, and recorded a gain of $73 million pre-tax in Other Income.

Effective Tax Rate

        The reported effective tax rate for the quarter was 21.7 percent. The rate was reduced primarily due to lowering the estimated full year underlying effective tax rate. The Company is required to record income tax expense for the first nine months of the year based on the estimated effective tax rate for the year. As discussed in the second quarter earnings release, the Company had previously estimated that its underlying effective tax rate on operations would be approximately 22.5 percent for the full year. The Company now anticipates that its underlying effective tax rate on operations for the full year 2007 will be approximately 22.0 percent. To bring the effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2007 in line with the Company's currently estimated full year underlying effective tax rate, the Company recorded income tax expense at an underlying effective tax rate of approximately 21.0 percent in the third quarter. For 2008, the Company anticipates that its underlying effective tax rate on operations will be 22.0 to 22.5 percent. The Company's estimated underlying effective tax rate does not reflect the impact of significant or unusual items and discrete events, which, if and when they occur, are separately recognized in the appropriate period.

New Operating Structure

        As previously announced, effective January 1, 2007, the Company made certain changes to its operating structure to align geographic responsibility. This new structure resulted in the reconfiguration of two operating segments which were renamed Eurasia Group and Pacific Group. The reconfiguration did not impact the other existing geographic operating segments, Bottling Investments or Corporate.    Reclassified operating segment information can be found in the Company's Form 8-K filing dated April 2, 2007.

Items Impacting Prior Year Results

        In 2006, the third quarter results included a charge primarily related to asset impairment and restructuring charges, offset by a benefit primarily related to the reversal of a tax valuation allowance. In 2006, the second quarter results included a net benefit of $0.04 per share primarily due to a gain from the sale of shares in the initial public offering of the Turkish bottler, Coca-Cola Icecek S.A. In 2006, the first quarter results included a net reduction of $0.02 per share primarily related to non-cash impairment charges of certain assets and investments in the bottling operations in Asia.

8

Conference Call

        The Company will host a conference call with investors and analysts to discuss the third quarter 2007 results today at 8:30 a.m. (EDT). The Company invites investors to listen to the live audiocast of the conference call at the Company's website, www.thecoca-colacompany.com in the "Investors" section.

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures used in managing the business may provide users of this financial information additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures can provide additional meaningful reflection of underlying trends of the business because they provide a comparison of historical information that excludes certain items that impact the overall comparability. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating the Company's performance. See the Tables above for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations to GAAP financial measures for the three months ended September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
