Integration of Our German Bottling and Distribution Operations<br />

The Company's integration initiatives include costs related to the integration of 18 German bottling and distribution operations acquired in 2007. We incurred<br />

expenses of $20 million during the three months ended March 29, 2013, related to this initiative. The expenses recorded in connection with these integration<br />

activities have been primarily due to involuntary terminations. The Company began these integration initiatives in 2008 and has incurred total pretax expenses<br />

of $460 million since they commenced. The Company is currently reviewing other integration and restructuring opportunities within the German bottling and<br />

distribution operations, which, if implemented, will result in additional charges in future periods. However, as of March 29, 2013, the Company had not<br />

finalized any additional plans. Refer to Note 11 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.<br />

As demonstrated by the tables above, the operating margin and percentage contribution to operating income for each operating segment fluctuated between the<br />

periods. Operating income and operating margin by operating segment were influenced by a variety of factors and events, including the following:<br />

• During the three months ended March 29, 2013, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates unfavorably impacted consolidated operating income by<br />

3 percent, primarily due to a stronger U.S. dollar compared to certain foreign currencies, including the Japanese yen, Brazilian real, U.K. pound<br />

sterling, South African rand and Australian dollar, which had an unfavorable impact on our Eurasia and Africa, Europe, Latin America, Pacific and<br />

Bottling Investments operating segments. The unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar compared to the currencies listed above was partially offset<br />

by the impact of a weaker U.S. dollar compared to certain other foreign currencies, including the euro and Mexican peso, which had a favorable impact<br />

on our Europe, Latin America and Bottling Investments operating segments. Refer to the heading "Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Position —<br />

Foreign Exchange" below.<br />
