Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Our Divisions
Basis of Presentation
When used in this report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “PepsiCo” and the “Company” mean PepsiCo, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, collectively.
Our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 19, 2016 and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, Comprehensive Income, Cash Flows and Equity for the 12 weeks ended March 19, 2016 and March 21, 2015 have not been audited. These statements have been prepared on a basis that is substantially consistent with the accounting principles applied in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2015. This report should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2015. In our opinion, these financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation. The results for the 12 weeks ended March 19, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.
Effective as of the end of the third quarter of 2015, we did not meet the accounting criteria for control over our wholly-owned Venezuelan subsidiaries and we no longer had significant influence over our beverage joint venture with our franchise bottler in Venezuela, and therefore we deconsolidated our Venezuelan subsidiaries from our consolidated financial statements and began accounting for our investments in our wholly-owned Venezuelan subsidiaries and our joint venture using the cost method of accounting. See further unaudited information in “Our Business Risks” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
While our results in the United States and Canada (North America) are reported on a 12-week basis, the majority of our international operations report on a monthly calendar basis for which the months of January and February are reflected in our first quarter results.
Our significant interim accounting policies include the recognition of a pro rata share of certain estimated annual sales incentives and certain advertising and marketing costs in proportion to revenue or volume, as applicable, and the recognition of income taxes using an estimated annual effective tax rate. Raw materials, direct labor and plant overhead, as well as purchasing and receiving costs, costs directly related to production planning, inspection costs and raw materials handling facilities, are included in cost of sales. The costs of moving, storing and delivering finished product are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
The following information is unaudited. Tabular dollars are in millions, except per share amounts. All per share amounts reflect common per share amounts, assume dilution unless otherwise noted, and are based on unrounded amounts. Reclassifications were made to the prior year’s amounts to conform to the current year presentation, including the presentation of certain functional support costs associated with the manufacturing and production of our products within cost of sales. These costs were previously included in selling, general and administrative expenses. These reclassifications resulted in an increase in cost of sales of $61 million in the quarter ended March 21, 2015, with a corresponding reduction to gross profit and selling, general and administrative expenses in the same period. These reclassifications reflect changes in how we are classifying costs of certain support functions as a result of ongoing productivity and efficiency initiatives. These reclassifications had no impact on our consolidated net revenue, operating profit, net interest expense, provision for income taxes, net income or earnings per share.

Note 2 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Not Yet Adopted
In 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance that changes the accounting for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees. The guidance requires the recognition of the income tax effects of awards in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled, thus eliminating additional paid in capital pools. The guidance also allows for the employer to repurchase more of an employee’s shares for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting. In addition, the guidance allows for a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur rather than on an estimated basis. The guidance is effective in 2017 with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our financial statements and the timing of adoption.
In 2016, the FASB issued guidance that eliminates the requirement that an investor retrospectively apply equity method accounting when an investment that it had accounted for by another method initially qualifies for the equity method. The guidance requires that an equity method investor add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee to the current basis of the investor’s previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment becomes qualified for equity method accounting. The guidance is effective in 2017 with early adoption permitted. The guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements. We are evaluating the timing of adoption of this guidance.
In 2016, the FASB issued guidance that primarily requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets but record expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current accounting. For lessors, the guidance modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. The guidance is effective in 2019 with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our financial statements and the timing of adoption.
In 2016, the FASB issued guidance that generally requires companies to measure investments in other entities, except those accounted for under the equity method, at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income. The guidance is effective in 2018 and early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our financial statements.
In 2015, the FASB issued guidance that requires companies to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent on the balance sheet. The guidance is effective in 2017 with early adoption permitted. The guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our balance sheet. We are evaluating the timing of adoption of this guidance.

In 2015, the FASB issued guidance that requires entities to measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The guidance is effective in 2017 with early adoption permitted. The guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements. We are evaluating the timing of adoption of this guidance.
In 2014, the FASB issued guidance on revenue recognition, which provides for a single five-step model to be applied to all revenue contracts with customers. The new guidance also requires additional financial statement disclosures that will enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows relating to customer contracts. We have an option to use either a retrospective approach or a cumulative effect adjustment approach to implement the guidance. In 2015, the FASB issued a deferral of the effective date of the guidance to 2018, with early adoption permitted in 2017. In 2016, the FASB issued final amendments to clarify the implementation guidance for principal versus agent considerations, identifying performance obligations and the accounting for licenses of intellectual property. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our financial statements and the timing of adoption, and have not yet selected a transition approach.

2014 Multi-Year Productivity Plan
The multi-year productivity plan we publicly announced on February 13, 2014 (2014 Productivity Plan) includes the next generation of productivity initiatives that we believe will strengthen our food, snack and beverage businesses by: accelerating our investment in manufacturing automation; further optimizing our global manufacturing footprint, including closing certain manufacturing facilities; re-engineering our go-to-market systems in developed markets; expanding shared services; and implementing simplified organization structures to drive efficiency. The 2014 Productivity Plan is in addition to the productivity plan we began implementing in 2012 and is expected to continue the benefits of that plan.
In the 12 weeks ended March 19, 2016 and March 21, 2015, we incurred restructuring charges of $30 million ($25 million after-tax or $0.02 per share) and $30 million ($24 million after-tax or $0.02 per share), respectively, in conjunction with our 2014 Productivity Plan. All of these net charges were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses and primarily relate to severance and other employee-related costs, asset impairments (all non-cash) and other costs associated with the implementation of our initiatives, including contract termination costs. The majority of the restructuring accrual at March 19, 2016 is expected to be paid by the end of 2016.

2012 Multi-Year Productivity Plan
The multi-year productivity plan we publicly announced on February 9, 2012 (2012 Productivity Plan) included actions in every aspect of our business that we believed would strengthen our complementary food, snack and beverage businesses by: leveraging new technologies and processes across PepsiCo’s operations, go-to-market and information systems; heightening the focus on best practice sharing across the globe; consolidating manufacturing, warehouse and sales facilities; and implementing simplified organization structures, with wider spans of control and fewer layers of management. The 2012 Productivity Plan has enhanced PepsiCo’s cost-competitiveness and provided a source of funding for future brand-building and innovation initiatives.
In the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2015, we incurred restructuring charges of $6 million ($5 million after-tax with a nominal amount per share) in conjunction with our 2012 Productivity Plan, including $1 million in NAB, $3 million in ESSA and $2 million in Corporate. Cash payments in the 12 weeks ended March 19, 2016 were $8 million. All of these charges were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses and primarily related to severance and other employee-related costs and contract termination costs. We do not expect any further charges associated with our 2012 Productivity Plan. Substantially all of the restructuring accrual of $28 million at March 19, 2016 is expected to be paid by the end of 2016.

Note 6 - Share-Based Compensation
Beginning in 2016, certain executive officers and other senior executives were granted long-term cash awards for which final payout is based on PepsiCo’s Total Shareholder Return relative to a specific set of peer companies and achievement of a specified performance target over a three-year performance period. These qualify as liability awards under share-based compensation guidance and are valued through the end of the performance period on a mark-to-market basis using a Monte Carlo simulation model until actual performance is determined.

Note 7 - Pension and Retiree Medical Benefits
Effective as of the beginning of 2016, we prospectively changed the method we use to estimate the service and interest cost components of pension and retiree medical expense. The pre-tax reduction in net periodic benefit cost associated with this change in the first quarter of 2016 was $28 million ($18 million after-tax or $0.01 per share). See Pension and Retiree Medical Plans in “Our Critical Accounting Policies” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for further unaudited information on this change in accounting estimate.

Note 10 - Financial Instruments
Derivatives
We are exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in:
commodity prices, affecting the cost of our raw materials and energy;
foreign exchange rates and currency restrictions; and
interest rates.
In the normal course of business, we manage commodity price, foreign exchange and interest rate risks through a variety of strategies, including productivity initiatives, global purchasing programs and hedging. Ongoing productivity initiatives involve the identification and effective implementation of meaningful cost-saving opportunities or efficiencies, including the use of derivatives. Our global purchasing programs include fixed-price contracts and purchase orders and pricing agreements.
Our hedging strategies include the use of derivatives. Certain derivatives are designated as either cash flow or fair value hedges and qualify for hedge accounting treatment, while others do not qualify and are marked to market through earnings. Cash flows from derivatives used to manage commodity price, foreign exchange or interest rate risks are classified as operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. We classify both the earnings and cash flow impact from these derivatives consistent with the underlying hedged item.
For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in fair value is deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss within common shareholders’ equity until the underlying hedged item is recognized in net income. For fair value hedges, changes in fair value are recognized immediately in earnings, consistent with the underlying hedged item. Hedging transactions are limited to an underlying exposure. As a result, any change in the value of our derivative instruments would be substantially offset by an opposite change in the value of the underlying hedged items. We do not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We perform assessments of our counterparty credit risk regularly, including reviewing netting agreements, if any, and a review of credit ratings, credit default swap rates and potential nonperformance of the counterparty. Based on our most recent assessment of our counterparty credit risk, we consider this risk to be low. In addition, we enter into derivative contracts with a variety of financial institutions that we believe are creditworthy in order to reduce our concentration of credit risk.
Commodity Prices
We are subject to commodity price risk because our ability to recover increased costs through higher pricing may be limited in the competitive environment in which we operate. This risk is managed through the use of fixed-price contracts and purchase orders, pricing agreements and derivative instruments, which include swaps and futures. In addition, risk to our supply of certain raw materials is mitigated through purchases from multiple geographies and suppliers. We use derivatives, with terms of no more than three years, to economically hedge price fluctuations related to a portion of our anticipated commodity purchases, primarily for agricultural products, metals and energy. Ineffectiveness for those derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting treatment was not material for all periods presented. Derivatives used to hedge commodity price risk that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are marked to market each period with the resulting gains and losses recorded in corporate unallocated expenses as either cost of sales or selling, general and administrative expenses, depending on the underlying commodity. These gains and losses are subsequently reflected in division results when the divisions recognize the cost of the underlying commodity in operating profit.

20

Table of Contents    


Our open commodity derivative contracts had a notional value of $0.9 billion as of March 19, 2016 and $1.0 billion as of December 26, 2015.
Foreign Exchange
We are exposed to foreign exchange risk from foreign currency purchases and foreign currency assets and liabilities created in the normal course of business. We manage this risk through sourcing purchases from local suppliers, negotiating contracts in local currencies with foreign suppliers and through the use of derivatives, primarily forward contracts with terms of no more than two years. Exchange rate gains or losses related to foreign currency transactions are recognized as transaction gains or losses in our income statement as incurred.
Our foreign currency derivatives had a total notional value of $1.9 billion as of March 19, 2016 and $2.1 billion as of December 26, 2015. Ineffectiveness for derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting treatment was not material for all periods presented. For foreign currency derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, all losses and gains were offset by changes in the underlying hedged items, resulting in no material net impact on earnings.
Interest Rates
We centrally manage our debt and investment portfolios considering investment opportunities and risks, tax consequences and overall financing strategies. We use various interest rate derivative instruments including, but not limited to, interest rate swaps, cross-currency interest rate swaps, Treasury locks and swap locks to manage our overall interest expense and foreign exchange risk. These instruments effectively change the interest rate and currency of specific debt issuances. Certain of our fixed rate indebtedness has been swapped to floating rates. The notional amount, interest payment and maturity date of the interest rate and cross-currency interest rate swaps match the principal, interest payment and maturity date of the related debt. Our Treasury locks and swap locks are entered into to protect against unfavorable interest rate changes relating to forecasted debt transactions.
The notional values of the interest rate derivative instruments outstanding as of March 19, 2016 and December 26, 2015 were $11.9 billion and $12.5 billion, respectively. Ineffectiveness for derivatives that qualify for cash flow hedge accounting treatment was not material for all periods presented.
As of March 19, 2016, approximately 31% of total debt, after the impact of the related interest rate derivative instruments, was exposed to variable rates, compared to approximately 33% as of December 26, 2015.
Available-for-Sale Securities
Investments in debt and marketable equity securities, other than investments accounted for under the equity method, are classified as available-for-sale. All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are classified as cash equivalents. Our investments in available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses related to changes in the fair value of available-for-sale securities are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss within common shareholders’ equity. Unrealized gains and losses on our investments in debt securities as of March 19, 2016 and December 26, 2015 were not material. The pre-tax unrealized gains on our investments in marketable equity securities were $102 million and $115 million as of March 19, 2016 and December 26, 2015, respectively.
Changes in the fair value of available-for-sale securities impact net income only when such securities are sold or an other-than-temporary impairment is recognized. We regularly review our investment portfolio to determine if any security is other-than-temporarily impaired. In making this judgment, we evaluate, among other things, the duration and extent to which the fair value of a security is less than its cost; the financial condition of the issuer and any changes thereto; and our intent to sell, or whether we will more likely than

not be required to sell, the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. Our assessment of whether a security is other-than-temporarily impaired could change in the future due to new developments or changes in assumptions related to any particular security. We recorded no other-than-temporary impairment charges on our available-for-sale securities for the 12 weeks ended March 19, 2016 and March 21, 2015.
Tingyi-Asahi Beverages Holding Co. Ltd.
During the first quarter of 2016, we concluded that the decline in estimated fair value of our 5% indirect equity interest in TAB was other than temporary based on significant negative economic trends in China and changes in our assumptions associated with TAB’s future financial performance arising from the recent disclosure by TAB’s parent company, Tingyi, regarding the operating results of its beverage business. As a result, we recorded a pre- and after-tax impairment charge of $373 million ($0.26 per share) for the 12 weeks ended March 19, 2016 in the AMENA segment to reduce the value of our 5% indirect equity interest in TAB to its estimated fair value. This charge was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. The estimated fair value of the investment in TAB of $166 million as of March 19, 2016 was derived using both an income and market approach, and is considered a non-recurring Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. We will continue to monitor the impact of economic and other developments on the remaining value of our investment in TAB.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Our discussion and analysis is intended to help the reader understand our results of operations and financial condition and is provided as an addition to, and should be read in connection with, our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Also refer to Note 1 of our condensed consolidated financial statements. Tabular dollars are presented in millions, except per share amounts. All per share amounts reflect common stock per share amounts, assume dilution unless otherwise noted, and are based on unrounded amounts. Percentage changes are based on unrounded amounts.
Our Critical Accounting Policies
The critical accounting policies below should be read in conjunction with those outlined in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2015.
Sales Incentives and Advertising and Marketing Costs
We offer sales incentives and discounts through various programs to customers and consumers. These incentives and discounts are primarily accounted for as a reduction of revenue. A number of our sales incentives, such as bottler funding to independent bottlers and customer volume rebates, are based on annual targets, and accruals are established during the year for the expected payout. These accruals are based on contract terms and our historical experience with similar programs and require management judgment with respect to estimating customer participation and performance levels. Differences between estimated expense and actual incentive costs are normally insignificant and are recognized in earnings in the period such differences are determined. Certain advertising and marketing costs are also based on annual targets.
For interim reporting, our policy is to allocate our forecasted full-year sales incentives for most of our programs to each of our interim reporting periods in the same year that benefits from the programs. The allocation methodology is based on our forecasted sales incentives for the full year and the proportion of each interim period’s actual gross revenue or volume, as applicable, to our forecasted annual gross revenue or volume, as applicable. Based on our review of the forecasts at each interim period, any changes in estimates and the related allocation of sales incentives are recognized beginning in the interim period that they are identified. In addition, we apply a similar allocation methodology for interim reporting purposes for advertising and other marketing activities.
Income Taxes
In determining our quarterly provision for income taxes, we use an estimated annual effective tax rate which is based on our expected annual income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available to us in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Subsequent recognition, derecognition and measurement of a tax position taken in a previous period are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur.
Pension and Retiree Medical Plans
Effective as of the beginning of 2016, we changed the method we use to estimate the service and interest cost components of net periodic benefit cost for our U.S. and the majority of our significant international pension and retiree medical plans. Historically, we estimated the service and interest cost components using a single weighted-average discount rate derived from the yield curve used to measure the projected benefit obligation (or accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation for the retiree medical plans) at the beginning of the period. We have now elected to use a full yield curve approach in the estimation of these components of benefit cost by applying the specific spot rates along the yield curve used in the determination of the benefit obligation to the relevant projected cash flows. We have made this change to improve the correlation

25

Table of Contents    


between projected benefit cash flows and the corresponding yield curve spot rates, which we believe will result in a more precise measurement of service and interest costs. This change does not affect the measurement of our benefit obligation. We have accounted for this change in estimate on a prospective basis beginning in 2016. The pre-tax reduction in net periodic benefit cost associated with this change in the first quarter of 2016 was $28 million ($18 million after-tax or $0.01 per share). We expect this change to result in a pre-tax reduction in net periodic benefit cost of approximately $125 million for the full year 2016.
For our pension benefits, the 2016 weighted-average discount rates for service and interest costs under the full yield curve approach adopted as of the beginning of 2016 are 4.5% and 3.8%, respectively. For our retiree medical benefits, the 2016 weighted-average discount rates for service and interest costs under the new methodology are 4.3% and 3.3%, respectively. Under the prior methodology, the expense discount rate would have been 4.4% and 4.2% for our pension and retiree medical benefits, respectively.
Our Business Risks
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements reflecting our views about our future performance that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (Reform Act). Statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Reform Act are generally identified through the inclusion of words such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “drive,” “estimate,” “expect,” “expressed confidence,” “forecast,” “future,” “goal,” “guidance,” “intend,” “may,” “objective,” “outlook,” “plan,” “position,” “potential,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “strategy,” “target,” “will” or similar statements or variations of such words and other similar expressions. All statements addressing our future operating performance, and statements addressing events and developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Reform Act. These forward-looking statements are based on currently available information, operating plans and projections about future events and trends. They inherently involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted in any such forward-looking statement. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: changes in demand for PepsiCo's products, as a result of changes in consumer preferences or otherwise; changes in, or failure to comply with, applicable laws and regulations; imposition of new taxes, disagreements with tax authorities or additional tax liabilities; PepsiCo's ability to compete effectively; PepsiCo's ability to grow its business in developing and emerging markets or unstable political conditions, civil unrest or other developments and risks in the markets where PepsiCo's products are made, manufactured, distributed or sold; unfavorable economic conditions in the countries in which PepsiCo operates; increased costs, disruption of supply or shortages of raw materials and other supplies; failure to realize anticipated benefits from PepsiCo's productivity initiatives or global operating model; business disruptions; product contamination or tampering or issues or concerns with respect to product quality, safety and integrity; damage to PepsiCo's reputation or brand image; failure to successfully complete or integrate acquisitions and joint ventures into PepsiCo's existing operations or to complete or manage divestitures or refranchisings; changes in estimates and underlying assumptions regarding future performance that could result in an impairment charge; PepsiCo's ability to recruit, hire or retain key employees or a highly skilled and diverse workforce; loss of any key customer or changes to the retail landscape; any downgrade or potential downgrade of PepsiCo's credit ratings; the ability to protect information systems against, or effectively respond to, cyber attacks or other cyber incidents or other disruption; PepsiCo's ability to implement shared services or utilize information technology systems and networks effectively; fluctuations or other changes in exchange rates; climate change or water scarcity, or legal, regulatory or market measures to address climate change or water scarcity; failure to successfully negotiate collective bargaining agreements, or strikes or work stoppages; infringement of intellectual property rights; potential liabilities and costs from litigation or legal proceedings; and other factors that may adversely affect the price of PepsiCo's common stock and financial performance including those described in “Item 1A.

Condition and Results of Operations Our Business Risks,” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2015 and in “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Our Business Risks” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
In the first quarter of 2016, our operations outside of North America reflect the months of January and February. In the 12 weeks ended March 19, 2016, our operations outside of the U.S. generated 34% of our net revenue, with Mexico, Canada, Russia, the United Kingdom and Brazil comprising approximately 15% of our net revenue. As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange risks in the international markets in which our products are made, manufactured, distributed or sold. In the 12 weeks ended March 19, 2016, unfavorable foreign exchange negatively impacted net revenue performance by 4.5 percentage points, primarily due to the Mexican peso, Brazilian real, Russian ruble, Canadian dollar and the Argentine peso. Currency declines against the U.S. dollar could adversely impact our future financial results.
In addition, volatile economic, political and social conditions and civil unrest in certain markets in which our products are made, manufactured, distributed or sold, including in Russia, China, Brazil, Greece and the Middle East, and currency fluctuations in certain of these international markets continue to result in challenging operating environments. Also, regulatory initiatives, including the imposition or proposed imposition of new or increased taxes or other measures that could limit sales of our products, continue to intensify and could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
We continue to monitor the economic, operating and political environment in Russia closely. In the 12 weeks ended March 19, 2016 and March 21, 2015, total net revenue generated by our operations in Russia represented 3% of our net revenue. As of March 19, 2016, our long-lived assets in Russia were $3.5 billion.
Conditions in Venezuela, including restrictive exchange control regulations and lack of access to U.S. dollars through official currency exchange markets, have resulted in an other-than-temporary lack of exchangeability between the Venezuelan bolivar and the U.S. dollar. The exchange restrictions and other conditions have significantly impacted our ability to effectively manage our businesses in Venezuela, including limiting our ability to import certain raw materials and to settle U.S. dollar-denominated obligations, and have restricted our ability to realize the earnings generated out of our Venezuelan businesses. We expect these conditions will continue for the foreseeable future.
As a result of these factors, we concluded that, effective as of the end of the third quarter of 2015, we did not meet the accounting criteria for control over our wholly-owned Venezuelan subsidiaries and we no longer had significant influence over our beverage joint venture with our franchise bottler in Venezuela. Therefore, effective at the end of the third quarter of 2015, we deconsolidated our Venezuelan subsidiaries and began accounting for our investments in our Venezuelan subsidiaries and joint venture using the cost method of accounting. We reduced the value of the cost method investments to their estimated fair values, resulting in a full impairment. The factors that led to our conclusions at the end of the third quarter of 2015 continued to exist through the end of the first quarter of 2016.
Beginning with the fourth quarter of 2015, our financial results have not included the results of our Venezuelan businesses. We do not have any guarantees related to our Venezuelan entities, and our ongoing contractual commitments to our Venezuelan businesses are not material. We will recognize income from dividends and sales of inventory to our Venezuelan entities, which have not been and are not expected to be material, to the extent cash in U.S. dollars is received. We did not receive any cash in U.S. dollars from our Venezuelan entities in the first quarter of 2016. We will continue to monitor the conditions in Venezuela and their impact on our accounting and disclosure.

Mark-to-Market Net Impact
We centrally manage commodity derivatives on behalf of our divisions. These commodity derivatives include agricultural products, metals and energy. Commodity derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are marked to market each period with the resulting gains and losses recorded in corporate unallocated expenses as either cost of sales or selling, general and administrative expenses, depending on the underlying commodity. These gains and losses are subsequently reflected in division results when the divisions recognize the cost of the underlying commodity in operating profit. Therefore, the divisions realize the economic effects of the derivative without experiencing any resulting mark-to-market volatility, which remains in corporate unallocated expenses.
In the 12 weeks ended March 19, 2016, we recognized $46 million ($29 million after-tax or $0.02 per share) of mark-to-market net gains on commodity hedges in corporate unallocated expenses, with an $18 million net gain recognized in cost of sales and a $28 million net gain recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses.
In the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2015, we recognized $1 million ($1 million after-tax with a nominal amount per share) of mark-to-market net losses on commodity hedges in corporate unallocated expenses, with an $18 million net loss recognized in cost of sales and a $17 million net gain recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Restructuring and Impairment Charges
2014 Multi-Year Productivity Plan
In the 12 weeks ended March 19, 2016 and March 21, 2015, we incurred restructuring charges of $30 million ($25 million after-tax or $0.02 per share) and $30 million ($24 million after-tax or $0.02 per share), respectively, in conjunction with the 2014 Productivity Plan. See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.
We expect to incur pre-tax charges of approximately $990 million, of which approximately $705 million represents cash expenditures related to the 2014 Productivity Plan, summarized by period as follows:

This total pre-tax charge is expected to consist of approximately $525 million of severance and other employee-related costs, approximately $120 million for asset impairments (all non-cash) resulting from plant closures and related actions, and approximately $345 million for other costs associated with the implementation of our initiatives, including contract termination costs. This charge is expected to impact reportable segments approximately as follows: FLNA 11%, QFNA 2%, NAB 35%, Latin America 15%, ESSA 25%, AMENA 5% and Corporate 7%.
(b)
In 2015 and 2014, cash expenditures included $2 million and $10 million, respectively, reported on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in pension and retiree medical plan contributions.
2012 Multi-Year Productivity Plan
In the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2015, we incurred restructuring charges of $6 million ($5 million after-tax with a nominal amount per share) in conjunction with the 2012 Productivity Plan. See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.
Charge Related to the Transaction with Tingyi
In the 12 weeks ended March 19, 2016, we recorded a pre- and after-tax impairment charge of $373 million ($0.26 per share) in the AMENA segment to reduce the value of our 5% indirect equity interest in TAB to its estimated fair value. See Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

Non-GAAP Measures
Certain measures contained in this Form 10-Q are financial measures that are adjusted for items affecting comparability (see “Items Affecting Comparability” for a detailed list and description of each of these items), as well as, in certain instances, adjusted for foreign exchange. These measures are not in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Items adjusted for currency assume foreign currency exchange rates used for translation based on the rates in effect for the comparable prior-year period. In order to compute our constant currency results, we multiply or divide, as appropriate, our current year U.S. dollar results by the current year average foreign exchange rates and then multiply or divide, as appropriate, those amounts by the prior year average foreign exchange rates. We believe investors should consider these non-GAAP measures in evaluating our results as they are indicative of our ongoing performance and reflect how management evaluates our operational results and trends. These measures are not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for U.S. GAAP reporting measures. See “Organic Revenue Growth” and “Free Cash Flow.”
Volume
Since our divisions each use different measures of physical unit volume (i.e., kilos, gallons, pounds and case sales), a common servings metric is necessary to reflect our consolidated physical unit volume. Our divisions’ physical volume measures are converted into servings based on U.S. Food and Drug Administration guidelines for single-serving sizes of our products. For the 12 weeks ended March 19, 2016, total servings increased 2%. For the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2015, total servings increased 1%. Servings growth in 2016 reflects an adjustment to the first quarter 2015 results for divestitures and other structural changes, including our Venezuelan businesses, which were deconsolidated effective as of the end of the third quarter of 2015.
We discuss volume for our beverage businesses on a bottler case sales (BCS) basis in which all beverage volume is converted to an 8-ounce-case metric. Most of our beverage volume is sold by our Company-owned and franchise-owned bottlers, and that portion is based on our bottlers’ sales to retailers and independent distributors. The remainder of our volume is based on our direct shipments to retailers and independent distributors. We report the majority of our international beverage volume on a monthly basis. Our first quarter includes beverage volume outside of North America for the months of January and February. Concentrate shipments and equivalents (CSE) represent our physical beverage volume shipments to independent bottlers, retailers and independent distributors, and is the measure upon which our revenue is based.

See “Results of Operations – Division Review” for a tabular presentation and discussion of key drivers of net revenue.
On a reported basis, total operating profit decreased 10% and operating profit margin decreased 1.0 percentage point. Operating profit performance was primarily driven by items affecting comparability (see “Items Affecting Comparability”), which negatively impacted operating profit performance by 18 percentage points and decreased total operating profit margin by 2.7 percentage points, primarily reflecting an impairment charge to reduce our 5% indirect equity interest in TAB to its estimated fair value. Operating profit performance was also negatively impacted by certain operating cost increases, higher advertising and marketing expenses and unfavorable foreign exchange. Additionally, the lapping of a gain associated with refranchising a portion of our bottling operations in India and the impact of the deconsolidation of our Venezuelan businesses adversely impacted reported operating profit performance by 2 percentage points and 1 percentage point, respectively. These impacts were partially offset by planned cost reductions across a number of expense categories, effective net pricing, volume growth and lower commodity costs. The lapping of an impairment charge in the QFNA segment associated with our MQD joint venture positively contributed 4 percentage points to reported operating profit performance. Commodity deflation positively contributed 1 percentage point to reported operating profit performance, primarily attributable to deflation in the NAB, FLNA, AMENA and QFNA segments, partially offset by inflation in the Latin America and ESSA segments. Other corporate unallocated expenses decreased 19%, primarily due to decreased pension expense reflecting the reduction in net periodic benefit cost associated with the change to the full yield curve approach.

Net interest expense increased $36 million, primarily reflecting higher average debt balances and lower gains on the market value of investments used to economically hedge a portion of our deferred compensation costs, partially offset by higher interest income due to higher average cash balances.
The reported tax rate increased 8.8 percentage points, primarily reflecting the impairment charge to reduce the value of our 5% indirect equity interest in TAB to its estimated fair value which had no corresponding tax benefit.
Net income attributable to PepsiCo decreased 24% and net income attributable to PepsiCo per common share decreased 21%. Items affecting comparability (see “Items Affecting Comparability”) negatively impacted both net income attributable to PepsiCo and net income attributable to PepsiCo per common share by 28 percentage points.
Results of Operations – Division Review
The results and discussions below are based on how our Chief Executive Officer monitors the performance of our divisions. Accordingly, volume growth measures exclude the first quarter 2015 results of divestitures and other structural changes, including our Venezuelan businesses which were deconsolidated effective as of the end of the third quarter of 2015. See “Items Affecting Comparability” for a discussion of items to consider when evaluating our results and related information regarding non-GAAP measures.
In the discussions of net revenue and operating profit below, “effective net pricing” reflects the year-over-year impact of discrete pricing actions, sales incentive activities and mix resulting from selling varying products in different package sizes and in different countries, and “net pricing” reflects the year-over-year combined impact of list price changes, weight changes per package, discounts and allowances. Additionally, “acquisitions and divestitures,” except as otherwise noted, reflect all mergers and acquisitions activity, including the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and changes in ownership or control in consolidated subsidiaries and nonconsolidated equity investees. The impact of the structural change related to the deconsolidation of our Venezuelan businesses is presented separately.

Excludes the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and other structural changes, including the Venezuela deconsolidation. In certain instances, volume growth varies from the amounts disclosed in the following divisional discussions due to nonconsolidated joint venture volume, and, for our beverage businesses, temporary timing differences between BCS and CSE, as well as the mix of beverage volume sold by our Company-owned and franchise-owned bottlers. Our net revenue excludes nonconsolidated joint venture volume, and, for our beverage businesses, is based on CSE.

Organic Revenue Growth
Organic revenue growth is a significant measure we use to monitor net revenue performance. However, it is not a measure provided by U.S. GAAP. Therefore, this measure is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for U.S. GAAP net revenue growth. In order to compute our organic revenue growth results, we exclude the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and other structural changes, including the Venezuela deconsolidation, and foreign exchange translation from reported net revenue growth. See also “Non-GAAP Measures.”

Net revenue grew 3% and volume grew 1%. The net revenue growth was driven by effective net pricing and the volume growth. The volume growth reflects mid-single-digit growth in trademark Doritos and variety packs and double-digit growth in trademark Smartfood. These increases were partially offset by a low-single-digit decline in trademark Lay’s.
Operating profit grew 11%, primarily reflecting the net revenue growth and planned cost reductions across a number of expense categories, as well as lower commodity costs, which contributed 5 percentage points to operating profit growth, primarily cooking oil. These impacts were partially offset by certain operating cost increases, including strategic initiatives, and higher advertising and marketing expenses.

Net revenue decreased 3% and volume declined 2%. The net revenue performance reflects the volume decline, as well as unfavorable foreign exchange, which negatively impacted net revenue performance by 1 percentage point. The volume decline was driven by low-single-digit declines in ready-to-eat cereals, oatmeal and bars, and a high-single-digit decline in regional grains.
Operating profit increased 68%, driven by the lapping of an impairment charge in the prior year and the impact of ceasing the operations of our MQD joint venture, which contributed 70 percentage points to operating profit growth. In addition, operating profit growth reflects planned cost reductions across a number of expense categories, as well as lower commodity costs, which contributed 4 percentage points to operating profit growth. These impacts were partially offset by higher advertising and marketing expenses, the net revenue performance and certain operating cost increases, including strategic initiatives.

Net revenue increased 1.5%, primarily reflecting volume growth and effective net pricing. Unfavorable foreign exchange reduced net revenue growth by nearly 1 percentage point.
Volume increased 1%, driven by a 7% increase in non-carbonated beverage volume, partially offset by a 2% decline in carbonated soft drink volume. The non-carbonated beverage volume increase primarily reflected a double-digit increase in our overall water portfolio, a mid-single-digit increase in Gatorade sports drinks and a double-digit increase in Lipton ready-to-drink teas.
Operating profit increased 7%, primarily reflecting planned cost reductions across a number of expense categories and the net revenue growth, as well as lower commodity costs, which contributed 11 percentage points to operating profit growth. These impacts were partially offset by certain operating cost increases and higher advertising and marketing expenses.

Net revenue decreased 26%, reflecting unfavorable foreign exchange and the impact of the deconsolidation of our Venezuelan businesses, effective as of the end of the third quarter of 2015, which negatively impacted net revenue performance by 19 percentage points and 16 percentage points, respectively. These impacts were partially offset by effective net pricing and volume growth.

Beverage volume grew 3%, reflecting a double-digit increase in Brazil, a slight increase in Mexico and a mid-single-digit increase in Chile, partially offset by a double-digit decline in Argentina.
Operating profit decreased 20%, reflecting certain operating cost increases, as well as higher commodity costs, which negatively impacted operating profit performance by 22 percentage points, largely due to transaction-related foreign exchange on purchases of raw materials, driven by a strong U.S. dollar. Additionally, the deconsolidation of our Venezuelan businesses negatively impacted operating profit performance by 8 percentage points. These impacts were partially offset by the effective net pricing, planned cost reductions across a number of expense categories and the volume growth. Unfavorable foreign exchange translation negatively impacted operating profit performance by 22 percentage points.

Operating profit decreased 40%, reflecting higher commodity costs, which negatively impacted operating profit performance by 33 percentage points, largely due to transaction-related foreign exchange on purchases of raw materials led by a strong U.S. dollar. Additionally, operating profit performance was negatively impacted by certain operating cost increases and higher advertising and marketing expenses, as well as an impairment charge associated with certain production assets in Russia, which negatively impacted operating profit performance by 9 percentage points. These impacts were partially offset by planned cost reductions across a number of expense categories, the effective net pricing and the volume growth, as well as favorable settlements of promotional spending accruals compared to the prior year, which positively contributed 4 percentage points to operating profit performance. Additionally, items affecting comparability in the above table (see “Items Affecting Comparability”) and unfavorable foreign exchange translation negatively impacted operating profit performance by 10 percentage points and 4 percentage points, respectively.

Net revenue increased 1%, reflecting volume growth and effective net pricing. These impacts were partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange and the impact of refranchising a portion of our beverage business in India, which reduced net revenue growth by 5 percentage points and 1 percentage point, respectively.
Snacks volume grew 6%, reflecting double-digit growth in the Middle East and China, partially offset by low-single-digit declines in India and Australia.
Beverage volume grew 5%, driven by double-digit growth in India, the Philippines and Pakistan, partially offset by a low-single-digit decline in China. Additionally, the Middle East experienced low-single-digit growth.
Operating profit decreased 164%, primarily reflecting an impairment charge to reduce our investment in TAB to its estimated fair value, reflected in items affecting comparability in the above table (see “Items Affecting Comparability”). Excluding the items affecting comparability, operating profit decreased 1%. This decrease reflects the lapping of a gain from the refranchising of a portion of our beverage business in India, which negatively impacted reported operating profit performance by 17 percentage points. Operating profit performance was also negatively impacted by certain operating cost increases and higher advertising and marketing expenses. These impacts were partially offset by the net revenue growth and planned cost reductions across a number of expense categories, as well as lower commodity costs, which positively contributed 3 percentage points to reported operating profit performance. Unfavorable foreign exchange negatively impacted operating profit performance by 2.5 percentage points.

Our Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe that our cash generating capability and financial condition, together with our revolving credit facilities and other available methods of debt financing, such as commercial paper borrowings and long-term debt financing, will be adequate to meet our operating, investing and financing needs. Our primary sources of cash available to us to fund cash outflows, such as our anticipated share repurchases, dividend payments and scheduled debt maturities, include cash from operations and proceeds obtained from issuances of commercial paper and long-term debt. However, there can be no assurance that volatility in the global capital and credit markets will not impair our ability to access these markets on terms commercially acceptable to us, or at all. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Our Business Risks,” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2015.
As of March 19, 2016, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in our consolidated subsidiaries of $11.3 billion outside the U.S. As of March 19, 2016, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in our consolidated subsidiaries subject to currency controls or currency exchange restrictions were not material. To the extent foreign earnings are repatriated, such amounts would be subject to certain tax liabilities, both in the U.S. and in various applicable foreign jurisdictions.
Operating Activities
During the 12 weeks in 2016, net cash provided by operating activities was $131 million, compared to $270 million in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting higher current year net cash tax payments, including certain withholding taxes. In addition, the working capital change (comprised of changes in accounts and notes receivable, inventories, prepaid expenses and other current assets, and accounts payable and other current liabilities, each adjusted for the effects of currency translation) was consistent with the prior year.
Also see “Free Cash Flow” below for certain other items impacting net cash provided by operating activities.
Investing Activities
During the 12 weeks in 2016, net cash used for investing activities was $1.4 billion, primarily reflecting net purchases of debt securities greater than three months of $1.1 billion and net capital spending of $0.4 billion. See Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our investments in debt securities.
We expect 2016 net capital spending to be approximately $3 billion, within our long-term capital spending target of less than or equal to 5% of net revenue.
Financing Activities
During the 12 weeks in 2016, net cash provided by financing activities was $0.3 billion, primarily reflecting net proceeds from long-term debt borrowings of $1.3 billion, net proceeds of short-term borrowings of $0.5 billion and proceeds from exercises of stock options of $0.2 billion, partially offset by the return of operating cash flow to our shareholders through dividend payments and share repurchases of $1.7 billion.
We annually review our capital structure with our Board of Directors, including our dividend policy and share repurchase activity. On February 11, 2015, we announced a new share repurchase program providing for the repurchase of up to $12.0 billion of PepsiCo common stock commencing from July 1, 2015 and expiring on June 30, 2018. In addition, on February 11, 2016, we announced a 7.1% increase in our annualized dividend to $3.01 per share from $2.81 per share, effective with the dividend that is expected to be paid in June 2016. We expect to return a total of $7 billion to shareholders in 2016 through share repurchases of

approximately $3 billion and dividends of approximately $4 billion. See Part II, “Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” for a description of our share repurchase program.
Free Cash Flow
We focus on free cash flow as an important element in evaluating our performance. Since net capital spending is essential to our product innovation initiatives and maintaining our operational capabilities, we believe that it is a recurring and necessary use of cash. As such, we believe investors should also consider net capital spending when evaluating our cash from operating activities. Additionally, we consider certain items (included in the table below) in evaluating free cash flow. We believe investors should consider these items in evaluating our free cash flow results. Free cash flow excluding certain items is the primary measure we use to monitor cash flow performance. However, free cash flow and free cash flow excluding certain items are not measures provided by U.S. GAAP. Therefore, these measures are not, and should not be viewed as, substitutes for U.S. GAAP cash flow measures.
The table below reconciles net cash provided by operating activities, as reflected in our cash flow statement, to our free cash flow excluding the impact of the items presented below.

Free cash flow is used primarily to pay dividends and repurchase shares. We expect to continue to return free cash flow to our shareholders through dividends and share repurchases while maintaining Tier 1 commercial paper access, which we believe will ensure appropriate financial flexibility and ready access to global capital and credit markets at favorable interest rates. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Our Business Risks,” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2015, for certain factors that may impact our credit ratings or our operating cash flows.
Any downgrade of our credit ratings by a credit rating agency, especially any downgrade to below investment grade, whether or not as a result of our actions or factors which are beyond our control, could increase our future borrowing costs and impair our ability to access capital and credit markets on terms commercially acceptable to us, or at all. In addition, any downgrade of our current short-term credit ratings could impair our ability to access the commercial paper market with the same flexibility that we have experienced historically, and therefore require us to rely more heavily on more expensive types of debt financing. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Our Business Risks,” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2015, and Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
PepsiCo, Inc.:
We have reviewed the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of PepsiCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of March 19, 2016, the related Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, Comprehensive Income, Cash Flows and Equity for the twelve weeks ended March 19, 2016 and March 21, 2015. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of PepsiCo, Inc.’s management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Consolidated Balance Sheet of PepsiCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 26, 2015, and the related Consolidated Statements of Income, Comprehensive Income, Cash Flows and Equity for the fiscal year then ended not presented herein; and in our report dated February 11, 2016, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 26, 2015, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the Consolidated Balance Sheet from which it has been derived.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Our Business Risks” and Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements. In addition, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Our Business Risks” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2015.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure 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 Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
During our first fiscal quarter of 2016, we continued migrating certain of our financial processing systems to an enterprise-wide systems solution. These systems implementations are part of our ongoing global business transformation initiative, and we plan to continue implementing such systems throughout other parts of our businesses over the course of the next few years. In connection with these implementations and resulting business process changes, we continue to enhance the design and documentation of our internal control over financial reporting processes to maintain effective controls over our financial reporting.
Except as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our first fiscal quarter of 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
