ITEM 9.

REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.

 

Pursuant to the interim guidance provided in Release No. 33-8216, the registrant hereby furnishes disclosure regarding its release of material non-public information relating to its results of operations for a completed quarterly fiscal period under Item 12 of Form 8-K.

 

On April 22, 2003, the registrant publicly announced financial results for the first quarter of 2003.  For further information, please refer to the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99, which is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Non-GAAP Measurements

 

In addition to the GAAP results provided in the attached press release, the registrant has provided non-GAAP measurements, which present operating income and net income as adjusted for unusual items. Reconciliations from GAAP results to non-GAAP measurements and details of the unusual items are included in the press release.

 

Additionally, in the attached press release, the registrant has provided guidance regarding estimated future financial results on both a GAAP basis and on a non-GAAP basis, excluding unusual items.

 

Management, as well as certain investors, use these non-GAAP measures to analyze the registrant’s current and future financial performance. These non-GAAP measurements do not replace the presentation of PepsiAmericas' GAAP financial results. These measurements simply provide supplemental information to assist management and certain investors in analyzing the registrant’s performance. PepsiAmericas has chosen to provide this information to investors to enable them to perform meaningful comparisons of past, present and future performance and as a means to better understand the results of core on-going operations.
