NOTE 1—BUSINESS AND REPORTING POLICIES
Business
Coca-Cola Enterprises, Inc. ("CCE," "we," "our," or "us") is a marketer, producer, and distributor of nonalcoholic beverages. We market, produce, and distribute our products to customers and consumers through licensed territory agreements in Belgium, continental France, Great Britain, Luxembourg, Monaco, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden. We operate in the highly competitive beverage industry and face strong competition from other general and specialty beverage companies. Our financial results are affected by a number of factors including, but not limited to, consumer preferences, cost to manufacture and distribute products, foreign currency exchange rates, general economic conditions, local and national laws and regulations, raw material availability, and weather patterns.
Sales of our products tend to be seasonal, with the second and third quarters accounting for higher unit sales of our products than the first and fourth quarters. In a typical year, we earn more than 60 percent of our annual operating income during the second and third quarters. The seasonality of our sales volume, combined with the accounting for fixed costs, such as depreciation, amortization, rent, and interest expense, impacts our results on an interim period basis. Additionally, year-over-year shifts in holidays and selling days can impact our results on an interim period. Accordingly, our results for the second quarter and first six months of 2014 may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2014.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial reporting and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and expense allocations) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (Form 10-K).
Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all entities that we control by ownership of a majority voting interest. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
For reporting convenience, our first three quarters close on the Friday closest to the end of the quarterly calendar period. Our fiscal year ends on December 31st. The following table summarizes the number of selling days for the periods presented (based on a standard five-day selling week):

NOTE 6—DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
We utilize derivative financial instruments to mitigate our exposure to certain market risks associated with our ongoing operations. The primary risks that we seek to manage through the use of derivative financial instruments include currency exchange risk, commodity price risk, and interest rate risk. All derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. While certain of our derivative instruments are designated as hedging instruments, we also enter into derivative instruments that are designed to hedge a risk, but are not designated as hedging instruments (referred to as an “economic hedge” or “non-designated hedge”). Changes in the fair value of these non-designated hedging instruments are recognized in each reporting period in the expense line item on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income that is consistent with the nature of the hedged risk. We are exposed to counterparty credit risk on all of our derivative financial instruments. We have established and maintain strict counterparty credit guidelines and enter into hedges only with financial institutions that are investment grade or better. We continuously monitor our counterparty credit risk and utilize numerous counterparties to minimize our exposure to potential defaults. We do not require collateral under these agreements.
The fair value of our derivative contracts (including forwards, options, cross currency swaps, and interest rate swaps) is determined using standard valuation models. The significant inputs used in these models are readily available in public markets or can be derived from observable market transactions and, therefore, our derivative contracts have been classified as Level 2. Inputs used in these standard valuation models include the applicable spot, forward, and discount rates which are current as of the valuation date. The standard valuation model for our option contracts also includes implied volatility which is specific to individual options and is based on rates quoted from a widely used third-party resource. Refer to Note 16.
The following table summarizes the fair value of our assets and liabilities related to derivative financial instruments and the respective line items in which they were recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of the dates presented (in millions):

Cash Flow Hedges
We use cash flow hedges to mitigate our exposure to changes in cash flows attributable to currency fluctuations associated with certain forecasted transactions, including purchases of raw materials and services denominated in non-functional currencies, the receipt of interest and principal on intercompany loans denominated in non-functional currencies, and the payment of interest and principal on debt issuances in a non-functional currency. Effective changes in the fair value of these cash flow hedging instruments are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI) on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The effective changes are then recognized in the period that the forecasted purchases or payments impact earnings in the expense line item on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income that is consistent with the nature of the underlying hedged item. Any changes in the fair value of these cash flow hedges that are the result of ineffectiveness are recognized immediately in the expense line item on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income that is consistent with the nature of the underlying hedged item.
The following table summarizes our outstanding cash flow hedges as of the dates presented (all contracts denominated in a foreign currency have been converted into U.S. dollars using the period end spot rate):

___________________________
(A) 
The amount of ineffectiveness associated with these hedging instruments was not material.
(B) 
Over the next 12 months, deferred losses totaling $5 million are expected to be reclassified from AOCI on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets into the expense line item on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income that is consistent with the nature of the underlying hedged item as the forecasted transactions occur.
(C) 
The gain (loss) recognized on these currency contracts is offset by the gain (loss) recognized on the remeasurement of the underlying debt instruments; therefore, there is a minimal consolidated net effect in other nonoperating (expense) income on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Economic (Non-designated) Hedges
We periodically enter into derivative instruments that are designed to hedge various risks, but are not designated as hedging instruments. These hedged risks include those related to commodity price fluctuations associated with forecasted purchases of aluminum, sugar, and vehicle fuel. At times, we also enter into other short-term non-designated hedges to mitigate our exposure to changes in cash flows attributable to currency fluctuations associated with short-term intercompany loans and certain cash equivalents denominated in non-functional currencies.

(A) 
The gain (loss) recognized on these currency contracts is offset by the gain (loss) recognized on the remeasurement of the underlying hedged items; therefore, there is a minimal consolidated net effect in other nonoperating (expense) income on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Mark-to-market gains/(losses) related to our non-designated commodity hedges are recognized in the earnings of our Corporate segment until such time as the underlying hedged transaction affects the earnings of our Europe operating segment. In the period the underlying hedged transaction occurs, the accumulated mark-to-market gains/(losses) related to the hedged transaction are reclassified from the earnings of our Corporate segment into the earnings of our Europe operating segment. This treatment allows our Europe operating segment to reflect the true economic effects of the underlying hedged transaction in the period the hedged transaction occurs without experiencing the mark-to-market volatility associated with these non-designated commodity hedges.
As of June 27, 2014, our Corporate segment earnings included net mark-to-market losses on non-designated commodity hedges totaling $6 million. These amounts will be reclassified into the earnings of our Europe operating segment when the underlying hedged transactions occur. For additional information about our segment reporting, refer to Note 12.

Over the next 12 months, deferred losses totaling $6 million are expected to be reclassified from our Corporate segment earnings into the earnings of our Europe operating segment as the underlying hedged transactions occur.
Net Investment Hedges
We have entered into currency forwards, options, and foreign currency denominated borrowings designated as net investment hedges of our foreign subsidiaries. Changes in the fair value of these hedges resulting from currency exchange rate changes are recognized in AOCI on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to offset the change in the carrying value of the net investment being hedged. Any changes in the fair value of these hedges that are the result of ineffectiveness are recognized immediately in other nonoperating income (expense) on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

June 27, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The fair value of our debt is determined using quoted market prices for publicly traded instruments (Level 1).
Credit Facilities
We have amounts available to us for borrowing under a $1 billion multi-currency credit facility with a syndicate of eight banks. This credit facility matures in 2017 and is for general corporate purposes, including serving as a backstop to our commercial paper program and supporting our working capital needs. At June 27, 2014, our availability under this credit facility was $1 billion. Based on information currently available to us, we have no indication that the financial institutions syndicated under this facility would be unable to fulfill their commitments to us as of the date of the filing of this report.
Covenants
Our credit facility and outstanding notes contain various provisions that, among other things, require limitation of the incurrence of certain liens or encumbrances in excess of defined amounts. Additionally, our credit facility requires that our net debt to total

capital ratio does not exceed a defined amount. We were in compliance with these requirements as of June 27, 2014. These requirements currently are not, nor is it anticipated that they will become, restrictive to our liquidity or capital resources.
 
NOTE 8—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Tax Audits
Our tax filings are subjected to audit by tax authorities in most jurisdictions in which we do business. These audits may result in assessments of additional taxes that are subsequently resolved with the authorities or potentially through the courts. We believe that we have adequately provided for any assessments that could result from those proceedings where it is more likely than not that we will pay some amount.
Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, we enter into agreements that provide general indemnifications. We have not made significant indemnification payments under such agreements in the past, and we believe the likelihood of incurring such a payment obligation in the future is remote. Furthermore, we cannot reasonably estimate future potential payment obligations because we cannot predict when and under what circumstances they may be incurred. As a result, we have not recorded a liability in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements with respect to these general indemnifications.
We have certain indemnity obligations to TCCC resulting from the merger with TCCC that occurred on October 2, 2010 (the Merger). For additional information regarding the Merger, including our remaining indemnity obligations to TCCC, refer to Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Form 10-K.

___________________________
(A) 
Our effective tax rate reflects the benefit of having all of our operations outside of the U.S., most of which are taxed at statutory rates lower than the statutory U.S. rate, and the benefit of some income being fully or partially exempt from income taxes due to various operating and financing activities.
Repatriation of Current Year Foreign Earnings to the U.S.
During the second half of 2014, we expect to repatriate to the U.S. a portion of our 2014 foreign earnings to satisfy our 2014 U.S.-based cash flow needs. The amount to be repatriated to the U.S. will depend on, among other things, our actual 2014 foreign earnings and our actual 2014 U.S.-based cash flow needs. Our historical earnings will continue to remain permanently reinvested outside of the U.S. and, if we do not generate sufficient current year foreign earnings to repatriate to the U.S., we expect to have adequate access to capital in the U.S. to allow us to satisfy our U.S.-based cash flow needs. Therefore, historical foreign earnings and future foreign earnings that are not repatriated to the U.S. will remain permanently reinvested and will be used to service foreign operations, foreign debt, and to fund future acquisitions. For additional information about our undistributed foreign earnings, refer to Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Form 10-K.

NOTE 11—EARNINGS PER SHARE
We calculate our basic earnings per share by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares and participating securities outstanding during the period. Our diluted earnings per share are calculated in a similar manner, but include the effect of dilutive securities. To the extent these securities are antidilutive, they are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

Options to purchase 8.1 million and 8.2 million shares were outstanding as of June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013, respectively. During the second quarter and first six months of 2014, options to purchase 0.1 million and 0.8 million shares, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect of including these options in the computation would have been antidilutive. The dilutive impact of the remaining options outstanding in each period was included in the effect of dilutive securities.
Under our share repurchase program, during the second quarter and first six months of 2014, we repurchased 6.5 million and 13.1 million shares, respectively, and during the second quarter and first six months of 2013, we repurchased 8.1 million and 16.7 million shares, respectively. Refer to Note 15.
During the first six months of 2014, we issued an aggregate of 0.4 million shares of common stock in connection with the exercise of share options with a total intrinsic value of $12 million.
Dividend payments on our common stock totaled $125 million and $109 million during the first six months of 2014 and 2013, respectively. In February 2014, our Board of Directors approved a $0.05 per share increase in our quarterly dividend from $0.20 per share to $0.25 per share beginning in the first quarter of 2014.

NOTE 12—OPERATING SEGMENT
We operate in one industry and have one operating segment. This segment derives its revenues from marketing, producing, and distributing nonalcoholic beverages. No single customer accounted for more than 10 percent of our net sales during the first six months of 2014 or 2013.
Our segment operating income includes the segment’s revenue less substantially all the segment’s cost of production, distribution, and administration. We evaluate the segment’s performance based on several factors, of which net sales and operating income are the primary financial measures.
Mark-to-market gains/(losses) related to our non-designated commodity hedges are recognized in the earnings of our Corporate segment until such time as the underlying hedged transaction affects the earnings of our Europe operating segment. In the period the underlying hedged transaction occurs, the accumulated mark-to-market gains/(losses) related to the hedged transaction are reclassified from the earnings of our Corporate segment into the earnings of our Europe operating segment. This treatment allows our Europe operating segment to reflect the true economic effects of the underlying hedged transaction in the period the hedged transaction occurs without experiencing the mark-to-market volatility associated with these non-designated commodity hedges. For additional information about our non-designated hedges, refer to Note 6.

Business Transformation Program
In 2012, we announced a business transformation program designed to improve our operating model and create a platform for

driving sustainable future growth. Through this program we intend to: (1) streamline and reduce the cost structure of our finance support function, including the establishment of a new centralized shared services center; (2) restructure our sales and marketing organization to better align central and field sales, and to deploy standardized channel-focused organizations within each of our territories; and (3) improve the efficiency and effectiveness of certain aspects of our operations, including activities related to our cold-drink equipment.
We expect to be substantially complete with this program by the end of 2014 and anticipate nonrecurring restructuring charges of approximately $240 million, including severance, transition, consulting, accelerated depreciation, and lease termination costs. Approximately $20 million of this amount is expected to be non-cash. During the second quarter and first six months of 2014, we recorded nonrecurring restructuring charges under this program totaling $54 million and $62 million, respectively. During the second quarter and first six months of 2013, we recorded nonrecurring restructuring charges under this program totaling $24 million and $81 million, respectively. Substantially all nonrecurring restructuring charges related to this program are included in selling, delivery, and administrative expenses (SD&A) on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

In 2012 and 2013, these charges primarily related to program management and consulting costs.

NOTE 14—ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)
AOCI is comprised of net income and other adjustments, including foreign currency translation adjustments, hedges of our net investments in our foreign subsidiaries, changes in the fair value of certain derivative financial instruments qualifying as cash flow hedges, and pension plan adjustments. We do not provide income taxes on currency translation adjustments (CTA), as the historical earnings from our foreign subsidiaries are considered to be permanently reinvested. If current year earnings are repatriated, the amount to be repatriated is determined in U.S. dollars and converted to the equivalent amount of foreign currency at the time of repatriation; therefore, the repatriation of current year earnings does not have an impact on the CTA component of our AOCI balance.

NOTE 15—SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM
In December 2012, our Board of Directors authorized share repurchases for an aggregate price of not more than $1.5 billion, as part of a publicly announced program. Share repurchases under this authorization were completed during the second quarter of 2014. In December 2013, our Board of Directors authorized additional share repurchases for an aggregate price of not more than $1.0 billion. Activity under this authorization commenced during the second quarter of 2014 when the share repurchases under the previous authorization were completed. We can repurchase shares in the open market and in privately negotiated transactions. Repurchased shares are added to treasury stock and are available for general corporate purposes, including acquisition financing and the funding of various employee benefit and compensation plans.
The following table summarizes the share repurchase activity for the periods presented (in millions, except per share data):

Total cash paid for both the first six months of 2014 and 2013 for these share repurchases totaled $588 million due to the timing of settlement.
We currently plan to repurchase approximately $200 million in additional outstanding shares during the remainder of 2014, subject to economic, operating, and other factors, including acquisition opportunities. In addition to market conditions, we consider alternative uses of cash and/or debt, balance sheet ratios, and shareowner returns when evaluating share repurchases. For additional information about our share repurchase program, refer to Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Form 10-K.

___________________________
(A) 
We are required to report our derivative instruments at fair value. We calculate our derivative asset and liability values using a variety of valuation techniques, depending on the specific characteristics of the hedging instrument, taking into account credit risk. The fair value of our derivative contracts (including forwards, options, cross currency swaps, and interest rate swaps) is determined using standard valuation models. The significant inputs used in these models are readily available in public markets or can be derived from observable market transactions and, therefore, our derivative contracts have been classified as Level 2. Inputs used in these standard valuation models include the applicable spot, forward, and discount rates which are current as of the valuation date. The standard valuation model for our option contracts also includes implied volatility which is specific to individual options and is based on rates quoted from a widely used third-party resource.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
Business and Basis of Presentation
Coca-Cola Enterprises, Inc. ("CCE," "we," "our," or "us") is a marketer, producer, and distributor of nonalcoholic beverages. We market, produce, and distribute our products to customers and consumers through licensed territory agreements in Belgium, continental France, Great Britain, Luxembourg, Monaco, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden. We operate in the highly competitive beverage industry and face strong competition from other general and specialty beverage companies. Our financial results are affected by a number of factors including, but not limited to, consumer preferences, cost to manufacture and distribute products, foreign currency exchange rates, general economic conditions, local and national laws and regulations, raw material availability, and weather patterns.
Sales of our products tend to be seasonal, with the second and third quarters accounting for higher unit sales of our products than the first and fourth quarters. In a typical year, we earn more than 60 percent of our annual operating income during the second and third quarters. The seasonality of our sales volume, combined with the accounting for fixed costs, such as depreciation, amortization, rent, and interest expense, impacts our results on a quarterly basis. Additionally, year-over-year shifts in holidays and selling days can impact our results on an interim period basis. Accordingly, our results for the second quarter and first six months of 2014 may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2014.
For reporting convenience, our first three quarters close on the Friday closest to the end of the quarterly calendar period. Our fiscal year ends on December 31st. There was one less selling day in the first quarter of 2014 versus the first quarter of 2013, and there will be one additional selling day in the fourth quarter of 2014 versus the fourth quarter of 2013 (based upon a standard five-day selling week).

Relationship with The Coca-Cola Company (TCCC)
We are a marketer, producer, and distributor principally of products of TCCC with greater than 90 percent of our sales volume consisting of sales of TCCC products. Our license arrangements with TCCC are governed by product licensing agreements. From time to time, the terms and conditions of these agreements with TCCC are modified. Our financial results are greatly impacted by our relationship with TCCC. For additional information about our transactions with TCCC, refer to Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.
Financial Results
Our net income in the second quarter of 2014 was $198 million, or $0.78 per diluted share, compared to net income of $182 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2013. The following items included in our reported results affect the comparability of our year-over-year financial results (the items listed below are based on defined terms and thresholds and represent all material items management considered for year-over-year comparability):
Second Quarter 2014
Charges totaling $54 million ($36 million net of tax, or $0.14 per diluted share) related to restructuring activities; and
Net mark-to-market gains totaling $8 million ($5 million net of tax, or $0.02 per diluted share) related to non-designated commodity hedges associated with underlying transactions that relate to a different reporting period.
Second Quarter 2013
Charges totaling $34 million ($25 million net of tax, or $0.09 per diluted share) related to restructuring activities; and
Net mark-to-market losses totaling $8 million ($6 million net of tax, or $0.02 per diluted share) related to non-designated commodity hedges associated with underlying transactions that related to a different reporting period.
Financial Summary
Our financial performance during the second quarter of 2014 reflects the impact of the following significant factors:
Growth in both sparkling and still beverage sales driving a year-over-year volume increase of 3.5 percent;

19

Table of Contents
COCA-COLA ENTERPRISES, INC.


Flat year-over-year bottle and can net price per case growth reflecting the impact of our planned promotional activity, including activities for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, and competitive marketplace dynamics, particularly in Great Britain;
Year-over-year bottle and can cost of sales per case decline of 1.0 percent due to mix-shifts into lower cost packages and recent favorable trends in the cost of some of our key commodities; and
Modest underlying operating expense growth resulting from improved volume performance and 2014 FIFA World Cup promotional activity.
Consolidated operating income grew during the second quarter of 2014 driven by volume growth across our territories and a decline in cost of sales. Despite this performance, we continue to face the effects of persistent operating challenges, including heightened competitive and marketplace pressures, particularly in Great Britain. These factors, coupled with planned promotional activity and package mix-shifts, contributed to flat bottle and can price per case growth in the second quarter of 2014 versus the second quarter of 2013.
Volume in our continental European territories increased 4.0 percent during the quarter, reflecting strong sales growth of our Coca-Cola trademark brands and sparkling beverages. Volume in Great Britain increased 2.0 percent, primarily driven by increases in the sales of our Coca-Cola trademark beverages and our water brands. Across our territories, Coca-Cola Classic volume increased 4.5 percent and Coca-Cola Zero continued to perform well, growing 14.5 percent during the quarter. Our water portfolio also grew 9.5 percent, led by Chaudfontaine and Schweppes Abbey Well.
We continue to promote our brands in the marketplace through key marketing initiatives including the relaunch of our “Share a Coke” campaign with expanded personalization and promotions for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. We also remain focused on package and product innovations to create value for our customers and consumers, including the recent introduction of our 1.75 liter contour bottle for Coca-Cola trademark brands in Great Britain and the launch of Finley, an adult sparkling non-alcoholic beverage, in France. In addition to innovation, we are committed to expanding our brand portfolio with offerings that are intended to appeal to a wide variety of consumers. Some examples of these expanded offerings include the launch of Smartwater and Coca-Cola Life, a lower calorie, naturally-sweetened beverage, in Great Britain which are planned for the second half of 2014.
Bottle and can cost of sales per case declined 1.0 percent during the second quarter of 2014, reflecting mix-shifts into lower cost packages, particularly cans, and recent favorable trends in the cost of some of our key commodities, principally sugar. Although the overall cost environment still remains somewhat volatile, the degree of volatility has recently abated. We continue to seek and execute opportunities to mitigate our exposure to price changes through the use of supplier agreements and hedging instruments.
During the second quarter of 2014, we incurred higher year-over-year operating expenses reflecting an increase in restructuring expenditures and currency exchange rate changes. This change also reflects a modest increase in underlying operating expenses related to planned marketing activities, as well as the operational expense impact of improved volume performance.
Diluted earnings per share performance benefited from operating income growth and the continuation of our share repurchase program. Share repurchase activity increased diluted earnings per share by approximately $0.06 during the second quarter of 2014 when compared to the second quarter of 2013. We plan to continue our share repurchases during the remainder of 2014 and expect to repurchase approximately $800 million of our shares during the current year.

Net Sales
Net sales increased 8.0 percent in the second quarter of 2014 to $2.3 billion, and increased 5.0 percent in the first six months of 2014 to $4.2 billion. These changes include currency exchange rate increases of 5.5 percent and 4.5 percent when compared to the second quarter and first six months of 2013, respectively, reflecting strong appreciation in the euro and British pound sterling relative to the U.S. dollar.
Net sales per case increased 4.5 percent in the second quarter of 2014 when compared to the second quarter of 2013, and also increased 4.5 percent in the first six months of 2014 when compared to the first six months of 2013. The following table summarizes the significant components of the year-over-year change in our net sales per case for the periods presented (rounded to the nearest 0.5 percent and based on wholesale physical case volume):

During the second quarter of 2014, our bottle and can sales accounted for approximately 95 percent of our total net sales. Bottle and can net price per case is based on the invoice price charged to customers reduced by promotional allowances and is impacted by the price charged per package or brand, the volume generated by each package or brand, and the channels in which those packages or brands are sold. To the extent we are able to increase volume in higher-margin packages or brands that are sold through higher-margin channels, our bottle and can net pricing per case will increase without an actual increase in wholesale pricing. Bottle and can net price per case was flat during the second quarter of 2014, reflecting the impact of our planned promotional activities and competitive marketplace dynamics, particularly in Great Britain.
Volume

During the second quarter of 2014, volume increased 3.5 percent when compared to the second quarter of 2013. Our volume performance during the second quarter of 2014 included a 3.5 percent increase in the sale of sparkling beverage brands and a 2.0 percent increase in the sales of still beverage brands. Volume in continental Europe increased 4.0 percent during the quarter, while

volume in Great Britain increased 2.0 percent. This volume performance reflects implementation of our marketing initiatives across our territories and the strong opportunity provided by the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
Our Coca-Cola trademark beverage brand sales increased 4.0 percent in the second quarter of 2014 when compared to the second quarter of 2013. This increase was primarily attributable to a 4.5 percent increase in Coca-Cola Classic sales and the continued success of Coca-Cola Zero which grew 14.5 percent. These increases were partially offset by a decline in the sales of other     Coca-Cola flavors, including Cherry Coke Zero and Vanilla Coke. Sparkling flavors and energy volume increased 1.0 percent during the second quarter of 2014, driven by growth in our energy portfolio, including NALU and Relentless, offset partially by declines in sparkling brands Sprite and Dr Pepper. Juices, isotonics, and other volume remained flat in the second quarter of 2014 driven by strong growth in Nestea, offset by declines in our juice and sports drinks brands. Sales volume of our water brands increased 10.0 percent in the second quarter of 2014, primarily reflecting the success of Chaudfontaine in continental Europe.
We continue to promote our brands in the marketplace through key marketing initiatives including the relaunch of our “Share a Coke” campaign with expanded personalization and promotions for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. We also remain focused on package and product innovations to create value for our customers and consumers, including the recent introduction of our 1.75 liter contour bottle for Coca-Cola trademark brands in Great Britain and the launch of Finley, an adult sparkling non-alcoholic beverage, in France.

Cost of Sales
Cost of sales totaled $1.5 billion and $2.7 billion during the second quarter and first six months of 2014, respectively, representing an increase of 6.0 percent and 3.5 percent when compared to the second quarter and first six months of 2013, respectively. This change includes a currency exchange rate increase of 5.5 percent and 4.5 percent when compared to the second quarter and first six months of 2013.

We continue to seek and execute opportunities to mitigate our exposure to price changes through the use of supplier agreements and hedging instruments.
Selling, Delivery, and Administrative Expenses
Selling, delivery, and administrative (SD&A) expenses increased $70 million, or 14.5 percent, in the second quarter of 2014, and increased $13 million, or 1.5 percent, in the first six months of 2014. These changes include currency exchange rate increases of 5.0 percent and 4.0 percent when compared to the second quarter and first six months of 2013.

SD&A expenses as a percentage of net sales was 23.7 percent and 22.3 percent in the second quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively, and 24.2 percent and 25.0 percent in the first six months of 2014 and 2013, respectively. During the second quarter of 2014, our SD&A expenses reflect the operational expense impact of improved volume performance, a year-over-year increase in restructuring expenses under our Business Transformation Program, and incremental promotional expenses related to the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
Business Transformation Program
In 2012, we announced a business transformation program designed to improve our operating model and create a platform for driving sustainable future growth. Through this program we intend to: (1) streamline and reduce the cost structure of our finance support function, including the establishment of a new centralized shared services center; (2) restructure our sales and marketing organization to better align central and field sales, and to deploy standardized channel-focused organizations within each of our territories; and (3) improve the efficiency and effectiveness of certain aspects of our operations, including activities related to our cold-drink equipment.
We expect to be substantially complete with this program by the end of 2014 and anticipate nonrecurring restructuring charges of

approximately $240 million, including severance, transition, consulting, accelerated depreciation, and lease termination costs. Approximately $20 million of this amount is expected to be non-cash. During the second quarter and first six months of 2014, we recorded nonrecurring restructuring charges under this program totaling $54 million and $62 million, respectively. During the second quarter and first six months of 2013, we recorded nonrecurring restructuring charges under this program totaling $24 million and $81 million, respectively. Substantially all nonrecurring restructuring charges related to this program are included in selling, delivery, and administrative expenses (SD&A) on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net increased $6 million in the second quarter of 2014 to $30 million. This is primarily due to the issuance of €350 million notes in November 2013 and €250 million notes in May 2014. The following table summarizes the primary items that impacted our interest expense, net for the periods presented (in millions, except percentages):

Other Nonoperating Income (Expense)
Other nonoperating income totaled $1 million for the second quarter of 2014. Other nonoperating expense totaled $2 million and $4 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2013, respectively. Our other nonoperating income (expense) principally includes gains and losses on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of a particular legal entity.
Income Tax Expense
Our effective tax rate was approximately 26 percent for both the first six months of 2014 and 2013. We expect our underlying full year 2014 effective tax rate to be approximately 26 percent to 28 percent. Refer to Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for a reconciliation of our income tax provision to the U.S. statutory rate for the first six months of 2014 and 2013.
Cash Flow and Liquidity Review
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our sources of capital include, but are not limited to, cash flows from operations, public and private issuances of debt and equity securities, and bank borrowings. We believe that our operating cash flow, cash on hand, and available short-term and long-term capital resources are sufficient to fund our working capital requirements, scheduled debt payments, interest payments, capital expenditures, benefit plan contributions, income tax obligations, dividends to our shareowners, any contemplated acquisitions, and share repurchases for the foreseeable future. We continually assess the counterparties and instruments we use to hold our cash and cash equivalents, with a focus on preservation of capital and liquidity. Based on information currently available, we do not believe that we are at significant risk of default by our counterparties.
We have amounts available to us for borrowing under a $1 billion multi-currency credit facility with a syndicate of eight banks. This credit facility matures in 2017 and is for general corporate purposes, including serving as a backstop to our commercial paper program and supporting our working capital needs. At June 27, 2014, our availability under this credit facility was $1 billion. Based on information currently available to us, we have no indication that the financial institutions syndicated under this facility would be unable to fulfill their commitments to us as of the date of the filing of this report.
We satisfy seasonal working capital needs and other financing requirements with operating cash flow, cash on hand, short-term borrowings under our commercial paper program, bank borrowings, and our line of credit. At June 27, 2014, we had $423 million in debt maturities in the next 12 months, including $412 million in commercial paper. In addition to using operating cash flow and cash on hand, we may repay our short-term obligations by issuing more debt, which may take the form of commercial paper and/or long-term debt.
In December 2012, our Board of Directors authorized share repurchases for an aggregate price of not more than $1.5 billion, as part of a publicly announced program. Share repurchases under this authorization were completed during the second quarter of 2014. In December 2013, our Board of Directors authorized additional share repurchases for an aggregate price of not more than $1.0 billion. Activity under this authorization commenced during the second quarter of 2014 when the share repurchases under the previous authorization were completed. During the second quarter and first six months of 2014, we repurchased $300 million

25

Table of Contents
COCA-COLA ENTERPRISES, INC.


and $600 million in outstanding shares, respectively, resulting in a cash outflow of $588 million during the first six months of 2014 due to the timing of settlement. We currently plan to repurchase approximately $200 million in additional outstanding shares during the remainder of 2014, subject to economic, operating, and other factors, including acquisition opportunities. In addition to market conditions, we consider alternative uses of cash and/or debt, balance sheet ratios, and shareowner returns when evaluating share repurchases. For additional information about our share repurchase program, refer to Note 15 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.
During the second half of 2014, we expect to repatriate a portion of our 2014 foreign earnings to satisfy our 2014 U.S.-based cash flow needs. The amount to be repatriated to the U.S. will depend on, among other things, our actual 2014 foreign earnings and our actual 2014 U.S.-based cash flow needs. For additional information about our repatriation of foreign earnings, refer to Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.
At June 27, 2014, substantially all of the cash and cash equivalents recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was held by consolidated entities that are located outside of the U.S. Our disclosure of the amount of cash and cash equivalents held by consolidated entities located outside of the U.S. is not meant to imply the amount will be repatriated to the U.S. at a future date. Any future repatriation of foreign earnings to the U.S. will be based on actual U.S.-based cash flow needs and actual foreign entity cash available at the time of the repatriation.
Dividend payments on our common stock totaled $125 million and $109 million during the first six months of 2014 and 2013, respectively. In February 2014, our Board of Directors approved a $0.05 per share increase in our quarterly dividend from $0.20 per share to $0.25 per share beginning in the first quarter of 2014.
Credit Ratings and Covenants
Our credit ratings are periodically reviewed by rating agencies. Currently, our long-term ratings from Moody’s, Standard and Poor’s (S&P), and Fitch are A3, BBB+, and BBB+, respectively. Our ratings outlook from Moody’s and Fitch are stable and S&P is negative. Changes in our operating results, cash flows, or financial position could impact the ratings assigned by the various rating agencies. Our credit rating can be materially influenced by a number of factors including, but not limited to, acquisitions, investment decisions, and capital management activities of TCCC and/or changes in the credit rating of TCCC. Should our credit ratings be adjusted downward, we may incur higher costs to borrow, which could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
Our credit facility and outstanding notes contain various provisions that, among other things, require us to limit the incurrence of certain liens or encumbrances in excess of defined amounts. Additionally, our credit facility requires that our net debt to total capital ratio does not exceed a defined amount. We were in compliance with these requirements as of June 27, 2014. These requirements currently are not, nor is it anticipated that they will become, restrictive to our liquidity or capital resources.
Summary of Cash Activities
During the first six months of 2014, our primary sources of cash included: (1) net issuances of commercial paper of $412 million; (2) proceeds of $347 million on issuances of debt; and (3) $213 million from operating activities. Our primary uses of cash included: (1) cash payments totaling $588 million for shares repurchased under our share repurchase program; (2) capital asset investments of $156 million; (3) dividend payments on common stock of $125 million; (4) payments on debt of $108 million, primarily resulting from the maturing of $100 million notes; (5) cash payments related to our restructuring programs of $65 million; and (6) contributions to our defined benefit pension plans of $27 million.
During the first six months of 2013, our primary sources of cash included: (1) proceeds of $459 million on issuances of debt; (2) $147 million from operating activities; and (3) net issuances of commercial paper of $16 million. Our primary uses of cash included: (1) cash payments totaling $588 million for shares repurchased under our share repurchase program; (2) payments on debt of $217 million, primarily resulting from the maturing of our CHF 200 million notes; (3) capital asset investments of $149 million; (4) dividend payments on common stock of $109 million; and (5) contributions to our defined benefit pension plans of $33 million.
Operating Activities
Our net cash derived from operating activities totaled $213 million and $147 million in the first six months of 2014 and 2013, respectively. This increase was primarily driven by our improved year-over-year operating performance.

___________________________
(A) 
The $100 million notes carried a variable interest rate at three-month USD Libor plus 30 basis points. At maturity the effective rate on these notes was 0.5 percent.
Our financing activities included cash payments of $588 million for both the first six months of 2014 and 2013 for share repurchases, as well as dividend payments on common stock of $125 million and $109 million during the first six months of 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Financial Position
Assets
Trade accounts receivable increased $621 million to $2.1 billion at June 27, 2014 from $1.5 billion at December 31, 2013. This increase was primarily attributable to the seasonality of our business, improved volume performance, and the timing of our fiscal month-end relative to the calendar month-end.
Inventories increased $36 million, or 8.0 percent, to $488 million at June 27, 2014 from $452 million at December 31, 2013. This increase was primarily driven by the seasonality of our business as we progress through the key summer selling season.

COCA-COLA ENTERPRISES, INC.


Other current assets increased $83 million to $252 million at June 27, 2014 from $169 million at December 31, 2013. This change was primarily driven by an increase in certain current deferred income tax assets and income taxes receivable.
Other noncurrent assets decreased $77 million, or 16.0 percent, to $399 million at June 27, 2014 from $476 million at December 31, 2013. This change was primarily driven by a decline in certain noncurrent deferred income tax assets, partially offset by increases in our noncurrent assets related to our defined benefit pension plans.
Liabilities and Equity
Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased $353 million, or 18.0 percent, to $2.3 billion at June 27, 2014 from $1.9 billion at December 31, 2013. The increase in accounts payable was primarily related to seasonality, improved volume performance, and the timing of certain payments. Additionally, we experienced an increase in accruals related to our customer marketing agreements in Great Britain, primarily resulting from changes in program levels and timing of payments to customers. For additional information about our accounts payable and accrued expenses, refer to Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.
Current portion of debt increased $312 million to $423 million at June 27, 2014 from $111 million at December 31, 2013. This increase was driven by net issuances of commercial paper of $412 million, partially offset by the maturity of our $100 million floating rate notes in February 2014.
Debt, less current portion increased $327 million to $4.1 billion at June 27, 2014 from $3.7 billion at December 31, 2013. This increase was driven by the issuance in May 2014 of €250 million, 2.8 percent notes due 2026. For additional information about our debt, refer to Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.
Common stock in treasury, at cost increased $614 million, or 21.5 percent, to $3.5 billion at June 27, 2014 from $2.9 billion at December 31, 2013. This increase was driven by our repurchase of $600 million in outstanding shares during the first six months of 2014 under our share repurchase program.
Defined Benefit Plan Contributions
Contributions to our pension plans totaled $27 million and $33 million during the first six months of 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rates
Interest rate risk is present with both our fixed-rate and floating-rate debt. Interest rate swap agreements and other risk management instruments are used, at times, to manage our fixed/floating debt portfolio. At June 27, 2014, approximately 91 percent of our debt portfolio was comprised of fixed-rate debt, and 9 percent was floating-rate debt. We estimate that a 1 percent change in market interest rates as of June 27, 2014 would change the fair value of our fixed-rate debt outstanding as of June 27, 2014 by approximately $760 million.
We also estimate that a 1 percent change in the interest costs of floating-rate debt outstanding as of June 27, 2014 would change interest expense on an annual basis by approximately $5 million. This amount is determined by calculating the effect of a hypothetical interest rate change on our floating-rate debt after giving consideration to our interest rate swap agreements and other risk management instruments. This estimate does not include the effects of other actions to mitigate this risk or changes in our financial structure.
Currency Exchange Rates
Our operations are in Western Europe. As such, we are exposed to translation risk because our operations are in local currency and must be translated into U.S. dollars. As currency exchange rates fluctuate, translation of our Statements of Income into U.S. dollars affects the comparability of revenues, expenses, operating income, and diluted earnings per share between years. We estimate that a 10 percent unidirectional change in currency exchange rates would have changed our operating income for the second quarter of 2014 by approximately $30 million.
Commodity Price Risk
The competitive marketplace in which we operate may limit our ability to recover increased costs through higher sales prices. As such, we are subject to market risk with respect to commodity price fluctuations, principally related to our purchases of aluminum, PET (plastic), steel, sugar, and vehicle fuel. When possible, we manage our exposure to this risk primarily through the use of supplier pricing agreements that enable us to establish the purchase prices for certain commodities. We also, at times, use derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to this risk. Including the effect of pricing agreements and other hedging instruments entered into to date, we estimate that a 10 percent increase in the market prices of these commodities over the current market prices would cumulatively increase our cost of sales during the next 12 months by approximately $35 million. This amount does not include the potential impact of changes in the conversion costs associated with these commodities.
Certain of our suppliers restrict our ability to hedge prices through supplier agreements. As a result, at times, we enter into non-designated commodity hedging programs. Based on the fair value of our non-designated commodity hedges outstanding as of June 27, 2014, we estimate that a 10 percent change in market prices would change the fair value of our non-designated commodity hedges by approximately $10 million. For additional information about our derivative financial instruments, refer to Note 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

Item 4.     Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the second quarter of 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

___________________________
(A) 
During the second quarter of 2014, 0.3 million of the total number of shares repurchased were attributable to shares surrendered to CCE by employees in payment of tax obligations related to the vesting of restricted share units or distributions from our deferred compensation plan. The remainder of the shares repurchased were attributable to shares purchased under our publicly announced share repurchase program and were purchased in open-market transactions.
(B) 
In December 2012, our Board of Directors authorized share repurchases for an aggregate price of not more than $1.5 billion, as part of a publicly announced program. Share repurchases under this authorization were completed during the second quarter of 2014. In December 2013, our Board of Directors authorized additional share repurchases for an aggregate price of not more than $1.0 billion. Activity under this authorization commenced during the second quarter of 2014 when the share repurchases under the previous authorization were completed. We can repurchase shares in the open market and in privately negotiated transactions. Repurchased shares are added to treasury stock and are available for general corporate purposes, including acquisition financing and the funding of various employee benefit and compensation plans.
