NOTE 1—BUSINESS AND REPORTING POLICIES

Organization

On October 2, 2010, The Coca-Cola Company (TCCC) acquired Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. (Legacy CCE) through a merger (the Merger) of a newly created TCCC subsidiary with and into Legacy CCE, with Legacy CCE continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of TCCC. Immediately prior to the Merger, Legacy CCE separated its European operations and transferred those businesses, along with Coca-Cola Enterprises (Canada) Bottling Finance Company and a related portion of its corporate segment, to a new legal entity, International CCE Inc., which was renamed Coca-Cola Enterprises, Inc. (“CCE,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). The Merger Agreement, as amended, (the Agreement) was dated February 25, 2010 and contains provisions for post-closing adjustment payments between the parties as described in Note 4. Concurrently with the Merger, two indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of CCE acquired TCCC’s bottling operations in Norway and Sweden, pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement dated March 20, 2010 (the Norway-Sweden SPA), for a purchase price of $822 million plus a working capital adjustment of $55 million. The Norway-Sweden SPA also contains a provision for an adjustment payment between the parties based upon the adjusted EBITDA (as defined) of the Norway and Sweden business for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010. This EBITDA adjustment is still being determined, and we expect it to be concluded by the end of the third quarter of 2011. For additional information about the Agreement and the Norway-Sweden SPA, refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (Form 10-K).

Business

We are 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, like those of other beverage companies, are affected by a number of factors including, but not limited to, cost to manufacture and distribute products, general economic conditions, consumer preferences, local and national laws and regulations, availability of raw materials, 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 of the year. 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. Accordingly, our results for the second quarter and first six months of 2011 may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2011.

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 Form 10-K.

Prior to the Merger, our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles on a “carve-out” basis from Legacy CCE’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements using the historical results of operations, assets, and liabilities attributable to the legal entities that comprised CCE at the effective date of the Merger. These legal entities include all that were previously part of Legacy CCE’s Europe operating segment, as well as Coca-Cola Enterprises (Canada) Bottling Finance Company.

Prior to the Merger, our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements also included an allocation of certain corporate expenses related to services provided to us by Legacy CCE. These expenses included the cost of executive oversight, information technology, legal, treasury, risk management, human resources, accounting and reporting, investor relations, public relations, internal audit, and certain global restructuring projects. The cost of these services was allocated to us based on specific identification when possible or, when the expenses were determined to be global in nature, based on the percentage of our relative sales volume to total Legacy CCE sales volume for the applicable periods. We believe these allocations are a reasonable representation of the cost incurred for the services provided. However, these allocations are not necessarily indicative of the actual expenses that we would have incurred had we been operating as an independent company prior to the Merger (refer to Note 4).

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Total interest expense represents interest incurred on third party debt, as well as amounts due to Legacy CCE prior to the Merger. No interest expense incurred by Legacy CCE was allocated to us as Legacy CCE’s third party debt was not specifically related to our operations.

Following the Merger, our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all entities that we control by ownership of a majority voting interest, including the bottling operations in Norway and Sweden beginning with the fourth quarter of 2010. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

For reporting convenience, our quarters close on the Friday closest to the end of the quarterly calendar period. The following table summarizes the number of selling days for the periods presented (based on a standard five-day selling week):

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (ASU 2011-05). Under ASU 2011-05, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Under both options, an entity will be required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. Furthermore, regardless of the presentation methodology elected, the entity will be required to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income. The amendments contained in ASU 2011-05 do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The amendments also do not affect how earnings per share is calculated or presented. ASU 2011-05 is effective for us on January 1, 2012. Although adopting the guidance will not impact our accounting for comprehensive income, it will affect our presentation of components of comprehensive income by eliminating our practice of showing these items within our Consolidated Statements of Shareowners’ Equity.

NOTE 4—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Transactions with 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 programs with TCCC are modified.

In connection with the Merger, we (1) signed license agreements with TCCC for each of our territories with terms of 10 years each, with each containing the right for us to request a 10-year renewal, and (2) signed a five-year agreement with TCCC for an incidence-based concentrate pricing model across all of our territories.

The following table summarizes the transactions with TCCC that directly affected our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods presented (in millions):

During the first quarter of 2011, we settled several items between us and TCCC related to the Merger as provided for in the Agreement. The net amount of these items resulted in a payment to us from TCCC of approximately $48 million, which included: (1) a payment to us from TCCC of approximately $41 million representing the settlement of Legacy CCE’s cash balances at the effective date of the Merger; (2) a payment to us from TCCC of approximately $23 million representing the difference between the Gross Indebtedness of Legacy CCE’s North American Business at the effective date of the Merger and the $8.88 billion target Gross Indebtedness in the Agreement; (3) a payment to TCCC of approximately $14 million related to our revised estimate of the tax benefits assumed by TCCC; and (4) a payment to TCCC of approximately $2 million related to the final determination of the working capital of Legacy CCE’s North American Business at the effective date of the Merger. The offset to these adjustments was recorded to additional paid-in capital on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets since the adjustments were directly related to the Merger.

Transactions with Legacy CCE

Amounts Due To/From Legacy CCE

Prior to the Merger, we had amounts due to/from Legacy CCE that had various maturity dates and were typically issued at fixed interest rates that approximated interest rates in effect at the time of issuance. To facilitate the Merger, all of these loans were settled in the third quarter of 2010. During the second quarter and first six months of 2010, we had interest expense related to these amounts of $13 million and $27 million, respectively, and interest income related to these amounts of $5 million and $7 million, respectively.

Allocation of Legacy CCE Corporate Expenses

Prior to the Merger, our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included an allocation of certain corporate expenses related to services provided to us by Legacy CCE. These expenses included the cost of executive oversight, information technology, legal, treasury, risk management, human resources, accounting and reporting, investor relations, public relations, internal audit, and certain global restructuring projects. The cost of these services was allocated to us based on specific identification when possible or, when the expenses were determined to be global in nature, based on the percentage of our relative sales volume to total Legacy CCE sales volume for the applicable periods. We believe these allocations are a reasonable representation of the cost incurred for the services provided. However, these allocations are not necessarily indicative of the actual expenses that we would have incurred had we been operating as an independent company prior to the Merger. During the second quarter and first six months of 2010, our allocated expenses from Legacy CCE’s corporate segment totaled $50 million and $88 million, respectively.

NOTE 5—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 interest rate risk, currency exchange risk, and commodity price 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 hedges”). Changes in the fair value of these non-designated hedging instruments are recognized in the expense line item on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations 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.

Fair Value Hedges

We utilized certain interest rate swap agreements designated as fair value hedges to mitigate our exposure to changes in the fair value of fixed-rate debt resulting from fluctuations in interest rates. The gain or loss on the derivative and the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk were recognized immediately in interest expense, net – third party on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of July 1, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had no fair value hedges outstanding.

Cash Flow Hedges

Cash flow hedges are used 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 third party debt denominated in non-functional currencies. 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 Operations that is consistent with the nature of the underlying

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 currency and commodity price fluctuations associated with certain forecasted transactions, including purchases of aluminum, sugar, and vehicle fuel. 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 denominated in non-functional currencies. The following table summarizes our outstanding economic hedges as of the dates presented:

The loss recognized on these currency contracts is offset by the gain recognized on the remeasurement of the underlying debt instruments; therefore, there is a minimal consolidated net effect in other nonoperating expense, net on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

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 July 1, 2011, our Corporate segment included net mark-to-market gains on non-designated commodity hedges totaling $4 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. The following table summarizes the deferred gain (loss) activity in our Corporate segment during the first six months of 2011 (in millions):

Net Investment Hedges

In 2011, we entered into currency forwards designated as net investment hedges of our non-U.S. 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 expense, net on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. At July 1, 2011, these hedges were a liability of $9 million, which was recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the second quarter and first six months of 2011, we recorded a net of tax loss of $4 million and $6 million, respectively, in AOCI on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to these hedges. During the second quarter and first six months of 2011, the amount of ineffectiveness associated with these hedges was not material.

These amounts represent the present value of our minimum capital lease payments.

(E) 

At July 1, 2011, approximately $276 million of our outstanding third party debt was issued by our subsidiaries and guaranteed by CCE.

(F) 

The total fair value of our outstanding third party debt was $2.8 billion and $2.2 billion at July 1, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The fair value of our third party debt is determined using quoted market prices for publicly traded instruments, and for non-publicly traded instruments through a variety of valuation techniques depending on the specific characteristics of the debt instrument, taking into account credit risk.

Credit Facilities

We have amounts available to us for borrowing under a credit facility. This facility serves as a backstop to our commercial paper program and supports our working capital needs. This facility matures in 2014 and is a $1 billion multi-currency credit facility with a syndicate of eight banks. At July 1, 2011, 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 third party 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 July 1, 2011. These requirements currently are not, and it is not anticipated they will become, restrictive to our liquidity or capital resources.

NOTE 7—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Contingencies

In connection with the Merger, three putative class action lawsuits were filed in the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia, and five putative class action lawsuits were filed in Delaware Chancery Court. The lawsuits were similar and asserted claims on behalf of Legacy CCE’s shareowners for various breaches of fiduciary duty in connection with the Merger. The lawsuits named Legacy CCE, the Legacy CCE Board of Directors, and TCCC as defendants; we assumed Legacy CCE’s obligations in connection with these lawsuits upon consummation of the Merger. Plaintiffs in each case sought to enjoin the transaction, to declare the deal void and rescind the transaction, to require disgorgement of all profits the defendants receive from the transaction, and to recover damages, attorneys’ fees, and litigation expenses. Prior to consummation of the Merger, the parties had agreed in principle to a settlement of these cases, which was subject to approval by the Georgia court. At the final settlement approval hearing on June 8, 2011, the Georgia court entered an Order and Final Judgment approving the settlement, certifying the class of plaintiffs, and approving an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to plaintiffs’ counsel in the amount of $4.8 million. Per the Agreement, the liability for these attorneys’ fees and expenses was to be shared equally between us and TCCC. On June 14, 2011, the Delaware court entered a Notice and Order of Voluntary Dismissal of the Delaware consolidated cases. In June 2011, we paid to plaintiffs’ counsel our equal share of the attorneys’ fees totaling approximately $2.4 million. This matter is now closed. For additional information about the Merger, refer to Note 1.

Tax Audits

Our tax filings for various periods 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 as part of the Merger. Under the Agreement, we agreed to indemnify TCCC for liabilities, including but not limited to, those resulting from the breach of representations, warranties, or covenants of Legacy CCE or CCE, as set forth in the Agreement and certain ancillary agreements prior to the effective date of the Merger. On July 1, 2011, our indemnity obligations related to certain of these representations and warranties expired with no claim for breach of those representations or warranties having been made by TCCC. For additional information about our indemnity obligations, refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Form 10-K. Our indemnity obligations under the Tax Sharing Agreement have not yet expired (refer to Note 9).

As a result, we expect to recognize a deferred tax benefit of approximately $50 million during the third quarter of 2011 to reflect this change in our deferred taxes.

Repatriation of Current Non-U.S. Earnings to the U.S.

During the fourth quarter of 2011, we expect to repatriate to the U.S. a portion of our 2011 non-U.S. earnings to satisfy our 2011 U.S.-based cash flow needs. The amount to be repatriated to the U.S. will depend on, among other things, our actual 2011 non-U.S. earnings and our actual 2011 U.S.-based cash flow needs. Our historical earnings will continue to remain permanently reinvested, and, if we do not generate sufficient current year non-U.S. 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 non-U.S. earnings and future non-U.S. earnings that are not repatriated to the U.S. will remain permanently reinvested and will be used in our non-U.S. operations to service non-U.S. debt and to fund future acquisitions. For additional information about our undistributed non-U.S. earnings, refer to Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Form 10-K.

Tax Sharing Agreement with TCCC

As part of the Merger, we entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement with TCCC. Under the Tax Sharing Agreement among us, Legacy CCE, and TCCC, we agreed to indemnify TCCC and its affiliates from and against certain taxes, generally related to periods prior to October 2, 2010. Some of these indemnifications extend through 2014. As of July 1, 2011, the unamortized liability related to these indemnifications was $34 million, of which $19 million is recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and $15 million is recorded in other noncurrent liabilities, net on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the second quarter of 2011, we recorded additional amounts totaling $5 million related to post-Merger changes in certain underlying tax matters covered by our tax indemnifications to TCCC. This amount was included in selling, administrative, and delivery (SD&A) expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For additional information about the Tax Sharing Agreement and related accruals, refer to Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Form 10-K.

NOTE 10—EARNINGS PER SHARE

We calculate our basic earnings per share by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common 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. As part of the Merger, outstanding shares of common stock of Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc., excluding shares held by TCCC, were converted into the right to receive one share of our common stock and $10.00 in cash consideration per share. Immediately following the Merger, 339,064,025 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of CCE were outstanding. Therefore, for periods prior to the Merger, we have used 339,064,025 as our number of basic shares outstanding for purposes of calculating our basic earnings per share. In addition, for periods prior to the Merger, we did not reflect the effect of dilutive shares because there were not any potentially dilutive securities of CCE outstanding (as we did not have any outstanding equity awards prior to the Merger, and estimating dilution using the treasury stock method is not practical or meaningful).

The following table summarizes our basic earnings and diluted per common share calculations for the periods presented (in millions, except per share data; per share data is calculated prior to rounding to millions):

(A) 

For the second quarter and first six months of 2010, we did not have any common shares outstanding. As such, we have used 339,064,025 as our number of basic weighted average common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating our basic earnings per common share, which represents the number of our shares outstanding immediately following the Merger.

(B) 

At July 1, 2011, we were obligated to issue, for no additional consideration, 0.4 million common shares under deferred compensation plans and other agreements. These shares were included in our calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the second quarter and first six months of 2011.

Options to purchase 9 million common shares were outstanding as of July 1, 2011. Of this amount, options to purchase 1.2 million common shares for the second quarter and first six months of 2011 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. For periods prior to the Merger, we did not reflect the effect of dilutive shares because there were not any potentially dilutive securities of CCE outstanding (as we did not have any outstanding equity awards prior to the Merger, and estimating dilution using the treasury stock method is not practical or meaningful). Subsequent to the Merger, share-based payment awards that are contingently issuable upon the achievement of a specified performance condition are included in our diluted earnings per share calculation in the period in which the condition is satisfied.

During the first six months of 2011, we issued an aggregate of 0.4 million shares of common stock from the exercise of share options with a total intrinsic value of $5 million.

Dividend payments on our common stock totaled $81 million during the first six months of 2011. In April 2011, our Board of Directors approved a $0.01 per share increase in our quarterly dividend from $0.12 per share to $0.13 per share beginning in the second quarter of 2011.

NOTE 11—COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income and other adjustments, including items such as non-U.S. currency translation adjustments, hedges of net investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries, pension plan liability adjustments, and changes in the fair value of certain derivative financial instruments qualifying as cash flow hedges. We do not provide income taxes on currency translation adjustments (CTA) as the historical earnings from our non-U.S. subsidiaries are considered to be permanently reinvested (refer to Note 9). During the fourth quarter of 2011, we expect to repatriate to the U.S. a portion of our 2011 non-U.S. earnings to satisfy our 2011 U.S.-based cash flow needs. The portion of current year earnings expected to be repatriated during the fourth quarter of 2011 is to be determined in U.S. dollars and converted to the equivalent amount of non-U.S. currency at the time of repatriation; therefore, we do not anticipate that the planned repatriation will have an impact on the CTA component of our AOCI balance.

The following table summarizes our comprehensive income (loss) for the periods presented (in millions):

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 revenues during the first six months of 2011 or 2010.

Our segment operating income includes the segment’s revenue, if any, 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 operating revenues and operating income are the primary financial measures.

Prior to the Merger, our Corporate segment included an allocation of certain corporate expenses related to services provided to us by Legacy CCE. These expenses included the cost of executive oversight, information technology, legal, treasury, risk management,

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

human resources, accounting and reporting, investor relations, public relations, internal audit, and certain global restructuring projects. The cost of these services was allocated to us based on specific identification when possible or, when the expenses were determined to be global in nature, based on the percentage of our relative sales volume to total Legacy CCE sales volume for the applicable periods. We believe these allocations are a reasonable representation of the cost incurred for the services provided. However, these allocations are not necessarily indicative of the actual expenses that we would have incurred had we been operating as an independent company prior to the Merger.

Additionally, 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 5.

Segment Remeasurement

Beginning in the first quarter of 2011, certain information technology-related expenses incurred in Europe that were previously reported in our Corporate segment are now reported in our Europe operating segment. These expenses totaled $12 million and $24 million during the second quarter and first six months of 2011, respectively, and totaled $10 million and $21 million during the second quarter and first six months of 2010, respectively. To provide comparability, we have recast our second quarter and first six months of 2010 segment reporting to reflect the movement of these expenses. The segment measurement change did not impact our consolidated operating income for any period. The following table summarizes our segment operating income (expense) for the periods presented as adjusted for the segment measurement change (in millions):

Prior to the Merger, these amounts represent restructuring costs recorded by Legacy CCE’s corporate segment that were specifically incurred on behalf of Legacy CCE’s Europe operating segment. These amounts do not include costs related to global Legacy CCE projects recorded by Legacy CCE’s corporate segment that were allocated to us based on the percentage of our relative sales volume to total Legacy CCE sales volume for the periods presented (refer to Note 4).

Supply Chain Initiatives and Business Optimization

In 2009, we began a restructuring program principally designed to optimize our business information systems, harmonize our plant operations, and streamline our cooler services business. During the second quarter and first six months of 2011, we recorded restructuring charges totaling $1 million and $15 million, respectively, and during the second quarter and first six months of 2010, we recorded restructuring charges totaling $9 million and $11 million, respectively, to harmonize our plant operations and streamline our cooler services business. These charges were included in SD&A expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We expect to be substantially complete with these restructuring activities by the end of 2011. The cumulative cost of this program as of July 1, 2011 was $38 million.

NOTE 14—SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

In October 2010, our Board of Directors approved a resolution to authorize the repurchase of up to 65 million shares, for an aggregate purchase price of not more than $1 billion, subject to economic, operating, and other factors, including acquisition opportunities. We can repurchase shares in the open market and in privately negotiated transactions, subject to economic and market conditions, stock price, applicable legal and tax requirements, and other factors.

During the first six months of 2011, we repurchased $400 million in outstanding shares, representing 14.8 million shares at an average price of $27.08 per share. Since the inception of the program in the fourth quarter of 2010, we have repurchased a cumulative $600 million in outstanding shares, representing 22.8 million shares at an average price of $26.33 per share. We plan to repurchase $400 million in additional outstanding shares under this program by the end of 2011 or early 2012, 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. 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.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

Organization

On October 2, 2010, Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. (Legacy CCE) completed a Merger with The Coca-Cola Company (TCCC) and separated its European operations, Coca-Cola Enterprises (Canada) Bottling Finance Company, and a related portion of its corporate segment into a new legal entity which was renamed Coca-Cola Enterprises, Inc. (“CCE,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) at the time of the Merger. For additional information about the Merger and the Merger Agreement (the Agreement), refer to Note 1 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

Business

We are 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, like those of other beverage companies, are affected by a number of factors including, but not limited to, cost to manufacture and distribute products, general economic conditions, consumer preferences, local and national laws and regulations, availability of raw materials, 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 of the year. 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. Accordingly, our results for the second quarter and first six months of 2011 may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2011.

Relationship with 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 programs 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 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

Basis of Presentation

Prior to the Merger, our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles on a “carve-out” basis from Legacy CCE’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements using the historical results of operations, assets, and liabilities attributable to the legal entities that comprised CCE at the effective date of the Merger. These legal entities include all that were previously part of Legacy CCE’s Europe operating segment, as well as Coca-Cola Enterprises (Canada) Bottling Finance Company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the legal entities that comprise CCE have been eliminated.

Prior to the Merger, our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements also included an allocation of certain corporate expenses related to services provided to us by Legacy CCE. These expenses included the cost of executive oversight, information technology, legal, treasury, risk management, human resources, accounting and reporting, investor relations, public relations, internal audit, and certain global restructuring projects. The cost of these services was allocated to us based on specific identification when possible or, when the expenses were determined to be global in nature, based on the percentage of our relative sales volume to total Legacy CCE sales volume for the applicable periods. We believe these allocations are a reasonable representation of the cost incurred for the services provided. However, these allocations are not necessarily indicative of the actual expenses that we would have incurred had we been operating as an independent company prior to the Merger (refer to Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q).

Following the Merger, our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all entities that we control by ownership of a majority voting interest, including the bottling operations in Norway and Sweden beginning with the fourth quarter of 2010.

Table of Contents

COCA-COLA ENTERPRISES, INC.

 

Beginning in the first quarter of 2011, certain information technology-related expenses incurred in Europe that were previously reported in our Corporate segment are now reported in our Europe operating segment. These expenses totaled $12 million and $24 million during the second quarter and first six months of 2011, respectively, and totaled $10 million and $21 million during the second quarter and first six months of 2010, respectively. To provide comparability, we have recast our second quarter and first six months of 2010 segment reporting to reflect the movement of these expenses. For additional information about the segment measurement change, refer to Note 12 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

Financial Results

Our net income in the second quarter of 2011 was $246 million or $0.74 per diluted common share, compared to net income of $199 million or $0.59 per common share in the second quarter of 2010. In addition to the items noted previously regarding the preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements prior to the Merger, the following items included in our reported results affected 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; amounts prior to the Merger only include items related to Legacy CCE’s Europe operating segment):

Second Quarter 2011

 

 

 

Charges totaling $1 million related to restructuring activities;

 

 

 

Net mark-to-market losses totaling $3 million related to non-designated commodity hedges associated with underlying transactions that relate to a different reporting period; and

 

 

 

Charges totaling $5 million related to post-Merger changes in certain underlying tax matters covered by our indemnification to TCCC for periods prior to the Merger.

Second Quarter 2010

 

 

 

A $9 million charge related to restructuring activities; and

 

 

 

Net mark-to-market losses totaling $11 million related to non-designated commodity hedges associated with underlying transactions that relate to a different reporting period.

Financial Summary

Our financial performance during the second quarter of 2011 reflects the impact of the following significant factors:

 

 

 

Revenue growth driven by strong volume performance, solid marketplace execution, and favorable weather conditions early in the quarter;

 

 

 

Volume growth led by the performance of our core Coca-Cola trademark sparkling brands, sparkling flavors, and energy drinks;

 

 

 

A higher cost of sales environment partially mitigated by the benefit of current supplier agreements and hedging instruments which provided us with lower than market prices for a significant portion of our commodity purchases;

 

 

 

Increased year-over-year corporate expenses due to the inclusion of corporate expenses on a stand-alone basis beginning in the fourth quarter of 2010 versus allocated expenses prior to the Merger; and

 

 

 

Favorable currency exchange rate changes that increased operating income by approximately 17.0 percent.

During the second quarter of 2011, we delivered solid operating results driven by strong volume growth of 4.5 percent and pricing growth of 3.0 percent. Solid marketplace execution, planned promotional activity, particularly surrounding the 125th anniversary of the Coca-Cola brand, strong performance of our Coca-Cola trademark and other sparkling beverage brands, and favorable weather conditions early in the quarter were the primary drivers of our volume performance. Our continental European territories had volume growth of 7.5 percent driven by continued growth of our Coca-Cola trademark sparkling brands, particularly Coca-Cola Zero, and increased sales of still beverages and waters, including Capri Sun and Chaudfontaine mineral water. Our volume in Great Britain increased 1.5 percent driven by higher sales of Coca-Cola trademark beverages and the performance of our sparkling flavors and energy brands including Sprite, Fanta, Dr Pepper, and Monster, offset partially by a decrease in sales of still beverages versus strong prior year growth, including Capri Sun and Oasis. In addition to volume and pricing growth, our performance during the second quarter of 2011 reflects a higher cost of sales environment, increased year-over-year corporate expenses due to the inclusion of all corporate expenses on a stand-alone basis beginning in the fourth quarter of 2010 versus allocated Legacy CCE expenses prior to the Merger, and favorable currency exchange rate changes.

(A) 

Beginning in the first quarter of 2011, certain information technology-related expenses incurred in Europe that were previously reported in our Corporate segment are now reported in our Europe operating segment. These expenses totaled $12 million and $24 million during the second quarter and first six months of 2011, respectively, and totaled $10 million and $21 million during the second quarter and first six months of 2010, respectively. To provide comparability, we have recast our second quarter and first six months of 2010 segment reporting to reflect the movement of these expenses. The segment measurement change did not impact our consolidated operating income for any period. For additional information about the segment measurement change, refer to Note 12 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

Net Operating Revenues

Net operating revenues increased 39.0 percent in the second quarter of 2011 to $2.4 billion, and 31.0 percent in the first six months of 2011 to $4.3 billion. These changes included currency exchange rate increases of approximately 15.5 percent and 9.5 percent in the second quarter and first six months of 2011, respectively. These changes also included an increase of 15.0 percent for both the second quarter and first six months of 2011 due to incremental revenues from the bottling operations in Norway and Sweden acquired during the fourth quarter of 2010 (which includes the impact of Norway’s high percentage of excise taxes recorded on a gross basis relative to net operating revenues).

Net operating revenues per case increased 16.5 percent in the second quarter of 2011 and 10.0 percent in the first six months of 2011 versus the second quarter and first six months of 2010, respectively. The following table summarizes the significant components of the change in our net operating revenues per case for the periods presented, as adjusted to reflect the impact of the acquired bottling operations in Norway and Sweden as if they were acquired on January 1, 2010 (rounded to the nearest 0.5 percent and based on wholesale physical case volume):

During the second quarter of 2011, our bottle and can sales accounted for approximately 95 percent of our total net operating revenues. 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 in each package or brand, and the channels in which those packages or brands are sold. Our bottle and can net price per case during the second quarter of 2011 reflects moderate rate increases across our territories.

During the second quarter of 2011, we achieved volume growth of 4.5 percent versus the second quarter of 2010. Our volume performance reflects growth in both sparkling and still beverages, which grew 5.0 percent and 1.5 percent, respectively. Both continental Europe and Great Britain experienced volume gains during the second quarter of 2011, with sales volume increasing 7.5 percent and 1.5 percent, respectively. These increases were primarily attributable to solid marketplace execution, planned promotional activity, particularly surrounding the 125th anniversary of the Coca-Cola brand, and favorable weather conditions early in the quarter. Both our continental European and Great Britain territories experienced continued growth of our Coca-Cola trademark sparkling brands, particularly Coca-Cola Zero, and continued success of our sparkling and energy beverage brands, including Sprite, Fanta, Dr Pepper, and Monster. Our volume in continental Europe also benefited from our enhanced still beverage and water portfolio during the second quarter of 2011, including growth in sales of Capri Sun, which was introduced in Belgium and Netherlands in early 2010, and Chaudfontaine mineral water. In Great Britain, our volume increases in sparkling and energy brands were partially offset by a decline in still beverage sales versus strong prior year growth, particularly Capri Sun and Oasis brands.

Our Coca-Cola trademark sparkling brands increased 4.5 percent in the second quarter of 2011 as compared to the second quarter of 2010. This increase was driven by a greater than 15.0 percent increase in the sale of Coca-Cola Zero and a 4.5 percent increase in the sale of Coca-Cola, offset partially by a 1.5 percent decline in the sale of Diet Coke/Coca-Cola light. Sparkling flavors and energy volume increased 8.0 percent during the second quarter of 2011, reflecting higher sales of several sparkling beverage products, including Sprite, Dr Pepper, and Fanta. Energy brands grew more than 50.0 percent with the successful launch of Powerade Energy, and solid growth in Monster. Juices, isotonics, and other volume increased 0.5 percent in the second quarter of 2011, reflecting an 8.0 percent increase in sales of Capri Sun products, which were introduced in Belgium and the Netherlands in early 2010, partially offset by moderate declines in other juice brands such as Minute Maid. Sales volume of our water brands increased 4.0 percent in the second quarter of 2011, reflecting increased sales of Chaudfontaine mineral water.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales increased 40.0 percent in the second quarter of 2011 to $1.5 billion, and increased 32.0 percent in the first six months of 2011 to $2.7 billion. These changes included currency exchange rate increases of approximately 16.0 percent and 9.5 percent in the second quarter and first six months of 2011, respectively. These changes also included an increase of 14.5 percent for both the second quarter and first six months of 2011 due to incremental costs from the bottling operations of Norway and Sweden acquired during the fourth quarter of 2010 (which includes the impact of Norway’s high percentage of excise taxes recorded on a gross basis relative to cost of sales). The following table summarizes the significant components of the change in our cost of sales per case for the periods presented, as adjusted to reflect the impact of the acquired bottling operations in Norway and Sweden as if they were acquired on January 1, 2010 (rounded to the nearest 0.5 percent and based on wholesale physical case volume):

raw materials increased year-over-year, our exposure to these increases is partially mitigated by our current supplier agreements and hedging instruments which provide us with lower than market prices for a significant portion of our planned commodity purchases through the end of 2011.

Selling, Delivery, and Administrative Expenses

SD&A expenses increased $150 million, or 39.0 percent, in the second quarter of 2011 to $535 million and increased $267 million, or 35.0 percent, in the first six months of 2011 to $1.0 billion. These changes included increases of 18.5 percent and 19.0 percent for the second quarter and first six months of 2011, respectively, due to incremental expenses from the bottling operations in Norway and Sweden acquired during the fourth quarter of 2010. These changes also included currency exchange rate increases of 14.0 percent and 8.0 percent for the second quarter and first six months of 2011, respectively, due to currency exchange rate changes.

Our SD&A expenses for the second quarter of 2011 reflect the impact of (1) additional expenses totaling $71 million related to the acquired bottlers in Norway and Sweden; (2) a net year-over-year increase in corporate expenses due to the inclusion of our actual corporate expenses on a stand-alone basis beginning in the fourth quarter of 2010 versus an allocation of corporate expenses from Legacy CCE prior to the Merger; and (3) unfavorable currency exchange rate changes totaling $54 million.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net—third party increased $15 million in the second quarter of 2011 to $20 million from $5 million in the second quarter of 2010. Interest expense, net—third party increased $29 million in the first six months of 2011 to $39 million from $10 million in the first six months of 2010. Interest expense, net—Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. totaled $8 million and $20 million during the second quarter and first six months of 2010, respectively. The following tables summarize the primary items that impacted our interest expense for the periods presented ($ in millions):

Other Nonoperating Expense, Net

Other nonoperating expense, net totaled $2 million during the second quarter of 2011, and totaled $3 million and $4 million during the first six months of 2011 and 2010, respectively. Our other nonoperating expense, net principally includes non-U.S. currency transaction gains and losses.

Income Tax Expense

Our effective tax rate was approximately 27 percent and 20 percent for the first six months of 2011 and 2010, respectively.

We expect our underlying full year 2011 effective tax rate to be approximately 26 percent to 28 percent. Our 2011 effective tax rate is expected to be higher than 2010 due to the U.S. tax impact associated with the expected repatriation of a portion of our current year non-U.S. earnings. Historically, all of our non-U.S. earnings have been considered permanently reinvested. In the future, we expect our historical earnings to remain permanently reinvested and to repatriate a portion of each current year’s non-U.S. earnings to satisfy our U.S.-based cash flow needs. Refer to Note 9 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for a reconciliation of our income tax provision for the first six months of 2011 and 2010.

Subsequent to the second quarter of 2011, the United Kingdom enacted a corporate income tax rate reduction of 2 percentage points, 1 percentage point retroactive to April 1, 2011, and 1 percentage point effective April 1, 2012. As a result, we expect to recognize a deferred tax benefit of approximately $50 million during the third quarter of 2011 to reflect this change in our deferred taxes.

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.

COCA-COLA ENTERPRISES, INC.

 

We have amounts available to us for borrowing under a credit facility. This facility serves as a backstop to our commercial paper programs and supports our working capital needs. This facility matures in 2014 and is a $1 billion multi-currency credit facility with a syndicate of eight banks. At July 1, 2011, 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 July 1, 2011, we had $187 million in debt maturities in the next 12 months, including $169 million in commercial paper. We plan to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper programs and other short-term obligations with operating cash flow and cash on hand.

During the first six months of 2011, we repurchased $400 million in outstanding shares under our share repurchase program. Since the inception of the program in the fourth quarter of 2010, we have repurchased a cumulative $600 million in outstanding shares. We currently expect to repurchase additional shares totaling approximately $400 million by the end of 2011 or early 2012. Our share repurchase plan may be adjusted depending on economic, operating, or other factors, including acquisition opportunities. In addition, we expect our cash tax payments to increase in the near-term, driven primarily by the future timing and amount of repatriating to the U.S. a portion of our future current year non-U.S. earnings.

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, S&P, and Fitch are stable. Changes in our operating results, cash flows, or financial position could impact the ratings assigned by the various rating agencies. Our debt 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 debt 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 and debentures 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 July 1, 2011. These requirements currently are not, and it is not anticipated they will become, restrictive to our liquidity or capital resources.

Summary of Cash Activities

During the first six months of 2011, our primary sources of cash included (1) $400 million from third party debt issuances; (2) $256 million from operating activities; (3) the receipt of $48 million from TCCC related to the settlement of several items related to the Merger; and (4) net issuances of commercial paper of $24 million. Our primary uses of cash were (1) $400 million to repurchase shares under our share repurchase program; (2) capital asset investments of $181 million; and (3) dividend payments on common stock of $81 million.

Operating Activities

Our net cash derived from operating activities totaled $256 million in the first six months of 2011 versus $112 million in the first six months of 2010. This increase was primarily driven by our operating performance, as well as a year-over-year reduction in pension contributions as a result of additional discretionary contributions made to our defined benefit pension plans in 2010. For additional information about other changes in our assets and liabilities, refer to the Financial Position discussion below.

Financial Position

Assets

Trade accounts receivable increased $359 million, or 27.0 percent, to $1.7 billion at July 1, 2011 from $1.3 billion at December 31, 2010. This increase was primarily attributable to the seasonality of our business, as well as currency exchange rate changes.

Amounts receivable from TCCC decreased $17 million, or 20.0 percent, to $69 million at July 1, 2011 from $86 million at December 31, 2010. This decrease was due to the settlement of the difference between the Gross Indebtedness of Legacy CCE’s North American Business at the effective date of the Merger and the target Gross Indebtedness in the Agreement, partially offset by a change in currency exchange rates. For additional information about this and other settlements with TCCC related to the Merger, refer to Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

Inventories increased $116 million, or 31.5 percent, to $483 million at July 1, 2011 from $367 million at December 31, 2010. This increase was primarily driven by the seasonality of our business, as well as currency exchange rate changes.

Franchise license intangible assets, net and goodwill increased $201 million, or 5.0 percent, to $4.2 billion at July 1, 2011 from $4.0 billion at December 31, 2010. This increase was primarily driven by currency exchange rate changes.

Other noncurrent assets, net increased $122 million, or 65.0 percent, to $309 million at July 1, 2011 from $187 million at December 31, 2010. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in our noncurrent assets related to deferred taxes and our defined benefit pension plans, as well as currency exchange rate changes.

Liabilities and Equity

Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased $227 million, or 13.5 percent, to $1.9 billion at July 1, 2011 from $1.7 billion at December 31, 2010. This increase was primarily attributable to increases in our marketing and tax related accruals, as well as currency exchange rate changes.

Third party debt, less current portion increased $457 million, or 21.5 percent, to $2.6 billion at July 1, 2011 from $2.1 billion at December 31, 2010. This increase was driven by our issuance of $300 million, 4.5% notes due 2021, and $100 million, floating rate notes due 2014 during the first quarter of 2011, as well as currency exchange rate changes.

Other noncurrent liabilities, net increased $52 million, or 35.0 percent, to $201 million at July 1, 2011 from $149 million at December 31, 2010. This increase is primarily driven by an increase in the liability value of certain non-U.S. currency contracts designated as hedging instruments. For additional information about our derivative financial instruments, refer to Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q.

Defined Benefit Plan Contributions

Contributions to our pension plans totaled $28 million and $59 million during the first six months of 2011 and 2010, respectively. The following table summarizes our projected contributions for the full year ending December 31, 2011, as well as our actual contributions for the year ended December 31, 2010 (in millions):

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 third party debt portfolio. At July 1, 2011, approximately 90 percent of our third party debt portfolio was comprised of fixed-rate debt and 10 percent was floating-rate debt. We estimate that a 1 percent change in market interest rates as of July 1, 2011 would change the fair value of our third party fixed-rate debt outstanding as of July 1, 2011 by approximately $110 million.

We also estimate that a 1 percent change in the interest costs of third party floating-rate debt outstanding as of July 1, 2011 would change interest expense on an annual basis by approximately $3 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 entire 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 Operations 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 and first six months of 2011 by approximately $40 million and $60 million, respectively.

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 $45 million. This amount does not include the potential impact of changes in the conversion costs associated with these commodities.

Certain of our suppliers could 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 July 1, 2011, we estimate that a 10 percent change in market prices would change the fair value of our non-designated commodity hedges by approximately $4 million. For additional information about our derivative financial instruments, refer to Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

Item 4.     Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Coca-Cola Enterprises, Inc., under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated 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 Securities and Exchange Commission’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.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended July 1, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.     OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In connection with the Merger, three putative class action lawsuits were filed in the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia, and five putative class action lawsuits were filed in Delaware Chancery Court. The lawsuits were similar and asserted claims on behalf of Legacy CCE’s shareowners for various breaches of fiduciary duty in connection with the Merger. The lawsuits named Legacy CCE, the Legacy CCE Board of Directors, and TCCC as defendants; we assumed Legacy CCE’s obligations in connection with these lawsuits upon consummation of the Merger. Plaintiffs in each case sought to enjoin the transaction, to declare the deal void and rescind the transaction, to require disgorgement of all profits the defendants receive from the transaction, and to recover damages, attorneys’ fees, and litigation expenses. Prior to consummation of the Merger, the parties had agreed in principle to a settlement of these cases, which was subject to approval by the Georgia court. At the final settlement approval hearing on June 8, 2011, the Georgia court entered an Order and Final Judgment approving a settlement, certifying the class of plaintiffs, and approving an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to plaintiffs’ counsel in the amount of $4.8 million. Per the Agreement, the liability for these attorneys’ fees and expenses was to be shared equally between us and TCCC. On June 14, 2011, the Delaware court entered a Notice and Order of Voluntary Dismissal of the Delaware consolidated cases. In June 2011, we paid to plaintiffs’ counsel our equal share of the attorneys’ fees totaling approximately $2.4 million. This matter is now closed.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of Part 1, “Risk Factors,” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
