Income amount represents adjustments for changes in estimates of previously recorded amounts.
We continue to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related global economic conditions and uncertainty on the net unfunded status of our pension and retiree medical plans. We also regularly evaluate opportunities to reduce risk and volatility associated with our pension and retiree medical plans. In the 12
weeks ended March 21, 2020, we made a discretionary contribution of $150 million to the PepsiCo Employees Retirement Plan A (Plan A) in the United States. In the 12 weeks ended March 23, 2019, we made discretionary contributions of $150 million to Plan A in the United States and $17 million to our international plans.
