Highlight of Business Operations:

For the 12 weeks ended March 20, 2010, 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.

For the 12 weeks ended March 21, 2009, we recognized $62 million ($40 million after-tax or $0.03 per share) of mark-to-market net gains on commodity hedges in corporate unallocated expenses.

In the first quarter of 2009, we incurred charges of $25 million ($19 million after-tax or $0.01 per share) in conjunction with our Productivity for Growth program. The program included actions in all divisions of the business, including the closure of six plants that we believe will increase cost competitiveness across the supply chain, upgrade and streamline our product portfolio, and simplify the organization for more effective and timely decision-making. These initiatives were completed in the second quarter of 2009.

In the first quarter of 2010, in connection with our acquisitions of PBG and PAS, we recorded a gain on our previously held equity interests of $958 million ($0.60 per share), comprising $735 million which is non-taxable and recorded in bottling equity income and $223 million related to the reversal of deferred tax liabilities associated with these previously held equity interests.

In the first quarter of 2010, we incurred merger and integration charges of $312 million related to our acquisitions of PBG and PAS, including $193 million recorded in the PAB segment, $1 million recorded in the Europe segment, $88 million recorded in corporate unallocated expenses and $30 million recorded in interest expense. These charges are being incurred to help create a more fully integrated supply chain and go-to-market business model, to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the distribution of our brands and to enhance our revenue growth. These charges also include closing costs, one-time financing costs and advisory fees related to our acquisitions of PBG and PAS. In addition, we recorded $9 million of charges, representing our share of the respective merger costs of PBG and PAS, recorded in bottling equity income. In total, these charges had an after-tax impact of $261 million or $0.16 per share.

As of the beginning of our 2010 fiscal year, we recorded a one-time $120 million net charge related to our change to hyperinflationary accounting for our Venezuelan businesses and the related devaluation of the bolivar. $129 million of this net charge was recorded in corporate unallocated expenses, with the balance (income of $9 million) recorded in our PAB segment. In total, this net charge had an after-tax impact of $120 million or $0.07 per share.
